What size is Kenmore Elite dryer?
This Sears PartsDirect page is for the Kenmore Elite electric range model 79041313412, not a Kenmore Elite dryer. For this model, the “size” details you may be looking for are the range’s installation and clearance requirements, which are listed in the 79041313412 installation guide.
If you meant a Kenmore Elite dryer
Kenmore Elite dryers are commonly sold in 7.3 to 9.0 cu. ft. capacities, and most full-size models are typically about 27 inches wide (some are 29 inches). Use the dryer’s model number to confirm the exact capacity and cabinet dimensions.
- Check the model tag (often inside the door opening or on the cabinet frame)
- Look for capacity in cubic feet (cu. ft.) on the spec sheet
- Confirm width, height, and depth (depth can change with the door and vent)
- Verify electrical requirements (electric dryers usually need a 240V circuit)
- Confirm venting type (vented vs. ventless) before ordering accessories
If you meant the size of this Kenmore Elite range (79041313412)
For ranges, “size” usually means cutout/clearance requirements, overall width, and power connection details. Those are installation-specific and are the right way to confirm fit before moving the appliance or replacing a cord.
| What “size” can mean | Where to confirm it | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Overall width/height/depth | Installation guide | Fit between cabinets and against backsplash |
| Required clearances | Installation guide | Safe spacing from walls and combustibles |
| Electrical connection location | Installation guide | Cord reach and strain relief fit |
Why it matters
Dryer capacity (cu. ft.) affects load size and cycle performance, while range installation dimensions affect safe fit and proper electrical hookup. Mixing up a dryer model with a range model is a common reason parts and accessories do not match.

| Use & care guide / label family | Short model | 790.41313 |
| Parts lookup / ordering | Full model listing | 79041313412 |
Why it matters for parts and troubleshooting
Using the exact model number helps us match the correct wiring, control boards, and heating components for your specific range configuration.
- Ensures the right fit for electrical parts like a terminal block
- Helps match the correct oven sensor and control system
- Prevents ordering a similar-looking part that will not wire up correctly
- Speeds up diagnosis when you are checking symptoms or error behavior

| Pro-style brands | Luxury and pro aesthetic | Heavier build, higher output, premium pricing |
Why it matters when buying parts or planning repairs
A “high-end” range often uses more specialized components (especially in the control system and temperature regulation). When troubleshooting or ordering parts for model 79041313412, we recommend:
- Matching parts by the full model number to avoid fit and wiring differences
- Using the wiring diagram and component locations in the 79041313412 use & care manual
- Checking common performance-related parts first if symptoms point to heating or control issues
- Considering OEM-equivalent replacements for critical electrical components
Examples of premium-system parts you may see on this model
These are common “higher-feature” components that can affect performance:
- Range oven temperature sensor 5304504897 (helps regulate oven temperature)
- Range oven relay control board 316472807 (manages heating circuits and oven functions)
- Range oven user interface control board 316474921 (keypad/display interface)
Why it matters
Knowing Kenmore Elite is a higher-end line helps set expectations: you usually get more features and better performance potential, but accurate diagnosis and correct part matching become more important because the electrical and control systems are more complex.
