Where to find the model number on a Kenmore laundry center?
On Kenmore stacked laundry center model 41798702892, we list the model and serial number on the serial plate inside the dryer door. Open the dryer door and look along the inside door opening for the rating label; that is the fastest, most reliable spot.
Quick places to check
- Inside the dryer door opening (serial plate or rating label)
- Along the inner door frame area where the door closes
- On the cabinet frame near the door opening (sometimes adjacent to the serial plate)
- In your paperwork: the model is also recorded in the 41798702892 owner's manual
How to read the label
The label typically includes both identifiers. Use the model number when ordering parts, and the serial number when checking production details.
