What size is a Kenmore Model 11087581110 dryer?
Kenmore gas dryer model 11087581110 is a standard, full-size 27-inch-class dryer; most units in this class measure about 27 inches wide, 43 to 44 inches tall, and 27 to 30 inches deep (depth varies most once you include the door and controls). Use your own tape-measure for the exact installed depth.
For a Kenmore 110-series full-size gas dryer, these planning numbers work for most laundry rooms:
- Width: ~27 inches
- Height: ~43 to 44 inches
- Depth (cabinet): ~27 to 29 inches
- Depth (installed): often 29 to 32 inches after adding the door, knobs, and vent elbow
- Door swing: allow open space in front for loading
Use these quick steps before you order accessories or move the dryer:
- Measure width at the widest cabinet points (not the drum).
- Measure height from floor to the top of the cabinet.
- Measure depth two ways: cabinet only, then front-most point (door/controls) to the back-most point (vent connection).
- Add room for the exhaust duct so it does not crush or kink.
- Add room for the gas line and shutoff valve access.
| What you’re planning for | Typical target | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Opening width | 28 inches or more | Prevents rubbing and vibration noise |
| Total depth available | 32 inches or more | Leaves room for venting and gas hookup |
| Height clearance | 45 inches or more | Clears shelves, trim, and leveling adjustments |
Correct sizing keeps airflow strong (faster drying), prevents crushed venting, and avoids stressing the gas connector. If the dryer is tight to the wall and drying slows down, airflow is usually the first thing to check.
Use how to use your clothes dryer efficiently for airflow and loading tips that often solve “takes too long to dry” complaints after a move or reinstall.

How do I find the model number on my 11087581110?
On Kenmore dryer model 11087581110, the model number is printed on the appliance’s rating label. On most Kenmore dryers, we find that label in the door opening or on the door frame; it can also be on the back panel.
Check these spots in order:
- Door opening: along the front frame where the door closes
- Inside the door: on the door itself near the hinge or edge
- Rear panel: a label on the back of the cabinet
- Side of the opening: sometimes on the left or right inner frame
Record the full line exactly as shown:
- Model number: 11087581110 (all digits)
- Serial number: used to identify production run
- Type or code (if listed): helps confirm variations
Kenmore dryers often have multiple versions that look the same but use different parts (door switch, belt, igniter, motor). Using the full model number helps us match the correct diagrams and parts list for your dryer.
| You see on label | What it’s used for |
|---|---|
| Model number | Correct part fit and diagrams |
| Serial number | Version and production details |
| Gas dryer wording | Confirms ignition and gas valve parts apply |
If the label is worn or missing, match your dryer using a known part number from it (for example, the dryer door switch W10820036) and then confirm the full model number before ordering.

How do I troubleshoot my 11087581110?
For Kenmore gas dryer model 11087581110, start troubleshooting by matching the symptom (no heat, no start, noisy, or poor drying) to a quick set of checks. Many issues come from airflow restrictions, a failed ignition circuit part, or worn drum-drive components.
- No heat: confirm gas supply is on, then suspect ignition parts like the igniter or gas valve coils.
- Runs but won’t dry: clean lint screen, check venting for clogs or crushed duct.
- Won’t start: check door switch operation and power at the outlet.
- Squealing or thumping: inspect belt, idler pulley, drum bearing, and blower wheel.
- Burning smell: stop the dryer and check for lint buildup around the burner and blower housing.
| Symptom | Likely area | Example part on this model |
|---|---|---|
| No heat, ignites then shuts off | Gas valve coils | Dryer valve coil kit 279834 |
| No heat, no ignition glow | Ignition circuit | Dryer igniter 279311 |
| Won’t start when door closes | Door safety circuit | Dryer door switch W10820036 |
| Squeal, drum not turning well | Drum drive | Belt 341241 and dryer idler pulley WP691366 |
| Rattling, poor airflow | Blower system | Dryer blower wheel WP694089 |
- Unplug power before opening panels; for gas, shut off the gas valve if you’re accessing burner components.
- Verify airflow first: a blocked vent can mimic heating failures and causes long dry times.
- Listen and observe: motor hum, drum movement, and ignition behavior narrow the problem fast.
- Test electrical parts with a meter when needed (switches, coils, sensors).
On a gas dryer like the Kenmore 11087581110, restricted airflow and ignition failures are the top reasons for “no heat” and “takes too long.” Catching a worn belt or pulley early also prevents bigger damage to the motor and drum support.
