What size is a Kenmore Model 11073102100 dryer?
The Kenmore gas dryer model 11073102100 is a 29-inch (73.7 cm) wide dryer. For installation planning, use the dimension diagram and clearance requirements in the installation guide, since venting elbow space and closet clearances can change the real footprint.
What “size” usually means for this model
When customers ask for dryer size, it typically refers to cabinet width and the space needed to install and vent the dryer.
- Cabinet width: 29 in. (73.7 cm)
- Depth planning: allow extra room behind the dryer for the exhaust vent and elbow
- Height planning: confirm with the dimension diagram in the installation instructions
- Closet installs: require minimum spacing plus door ventilation openings
- Garage installs: follow the minimum elevation and clearance guidance in the installation instructions
Installation space checklist (what to measure)
Use these measurements to confirm fit before moving the dryer into place:
- Wall-to-wall width of the laundry space
- Doorway and hallway clearance for moving a 29-inch dryer
- Space behind the dryer for vent connection (including elbow)
- Side clearance (extra space helps reduce noise transfer)
- Closet door ventilation openings (top and bottom) if installed in a closet
Quick reference table
| Item | What to use for model 11073102100 | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Dryer width | 29 in. (73.7 cm) | Confirms cabinet class and basic fit |
| Rear clearance | Plan for vent and elbow space | Prevents crushed venting and poor airflow |
| Closet spacing | Use minimum spacing rules | Helps avoid overheating and service access issues |
Why it matters
Correct sizing is not just about fitting the dryer into the room. Proper clearance supports safe venting, stable leveling, and normal airflow, which directly affects drying time and helps prevent shutdowns or poor performance.

How do I tell what model my Kenmore dryer is?
Your Kenmore dryer’s model number is printed on the model and serial number label. On Kenmore model 11073102100, that label is located at the top inside the dryer door well; open the door and look along the cabinet frame near the opening. Details and examples are shown in the 11073102100 owner's manual.
Where to look on the dryer
Check these common label locations first (in this order):
- Top inside the door well (door open; along the cabinet frame)
- Inside the door opening on the cabinet front
- Back of the dryer near the top edge (some versions)
- Side panel edge near the door opening (less common)
What the model number looks like
Kenmore model numbers are usually a long number string. For this dryer, the model number format starts with 110 and continues with additional digits (example: 11073102100).
| What to record | Why it matters | Example for this page |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Ensures parts fit your exact dryer | 11073102100 |
| Serial number | Helps match production run details | (from the same label) |
| Purchase date | Useful for maintenance and records | (your receipt) |
Tips to avoid mix-ups when ordering parts
Use the full model number exactly as printed on the label.
- Write it down before you start a repair
- Take a clear photo of the label for reference
- Match every digit (especially the last 3 to 5 numbers)
- Use the model number to choose parts like the dryer drum belt 341241 or dryer gas valve coil kit 279834 only after confirming the label
Why it matters
Kenmore dryers can look similar across multiple series, but parts like the drum belt, gas valve coils, igniter, and door catch vary by model. Using the correct model number prevents ordering the wrong replacement part and reduces downtime.

How much does it cost to replace drum bearings on a dryer?
Replacing drum bearings on a dryer typically costs $200 to $600 total (parts plus labor). On a Kenmore 11073102100 gas dryer, the final price depends on whether the “bearing” issue is actually worn drum rollers, a rear drum support, or a full drum support kit; confirm the exact procedure in the owner's manual.
What you’re usually paying for
Most of the cost is labor because the dryer cabinet and drum must be opened and the drum support components inspected.
- Service call and diagnosis
- Disassembly to access the drum and support system
- Replacement of worn support parts (often done as a set)
- Reassembly, leveling, and a heat test cycle
- Vent and lint cleanup while the unit is open (recommended)
Typical cost ranges (parts + labor)
| Repair scenario | Typical total cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Replace 1 worn support component | $200 to $350 | Less common; many techs replace multiple wear items together |
| Replace drum support set (rollers/idler/belt) | $250 to $500 | Most common “bearing noise” fix |
| Major drum support or drum-related repair | $400 to $600 | Higher labor time; may include additional worn parts |
Parts that commonly solve “bearing” symptoms on this model
Kenmore gas dryers like model 11073102100 often develop squealing, thumping, or rumbling from drum support wear. These parts are commonly replaced together to prevent repeat teardown:
- Dryer drum belt 341241 (belt wear or glazing can add noise and slipping)
- Dryer repair kit 4392065 (often includes multiple drum support wear items)
- Support 349241T (a drum support-related component)
Why it matters
Worn drum support parts can increase friction and strain the drive system. That can lead to longer dry times, overheating risk, or secondary failures (belt damage, motor strain). Keeping the lint screen and exhaust path clean also helps the dryer run cooler and quieter; follow the cleaning guidance in the owner's manual.
