How many cubic feet is the Kenmore Elite?
The Kenmore Elite 11010018000 is a laundry work surface, not a washer tub, so it does not have a cubic-foot capacity rating. Instead, it is sized to fit over a 27-inch-wide front-load washer and dryer pair and adds about 3 inches of height (see the 11010018000 owner's manual).
What this model is (and what “capacity” means here)
A washer’s “cubic feet” refers to the wash basket volume. This Kenmore Elite accessory is a countertop-style surface used for sorting, treating, and folding laundry.
What we can size instead of cubic feet:
- Fits over two appliances that are each 27 in. wide
- Requires about 1 in. spacing between washer and dryer for alignment pads
- Adds about 3 in. to the overall height of the washer and dryer
- Not intended for ironing (heat can discolor the surface)
Quick fit check before you buy or install
Use this checklist to confirm your laundry pair is compatible:
- Both machines are front-loading and sit side-by-side
- Both are level side-to-side and front-to-back
- Both are the same height (height difference no more than about 3/8 in.)
- You can maintain about 1 in. gap between them
- You have a measuring tape and a level
Key measurements at a glance
| What you measure | Typical requirement for this work surface | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Washer width | 27 in. | Ensures the top spans correctly |
| Dryer width | 27 in. | Ensures the top spans correctly |
| Gap between units | About 1 in. | Allows alignment pads to seat |
| Added height | About 3 in. | Affects clearance under cabinets |
Why it matters
If you are shopping by “cubic feet,” you are likely comparing washer capacity. For model 11010018000, the right comparison is fit and clearance: correct width, spacing, and leveling prevent rocking, rubbing, and poor alignment.

How to find Kenmore Elite washer model number?
For Kenmore Elite model 11010018000, you’ll find the model and serial number on a printed label attached to the appliance. On most Kenmore washers, that label is typically on the back of the control panel, along the cabinet frame, or around the door opening (front-load). Use the exact model number to match parts and documentation in the owner's manual.
Where to look on common Kenmore washer styles
Check these spots in order; we recommend using a flashlight and snapping a photo of the label:
- Top-load washers: under the lid near the tub opening, or on the cabinet rim
- Top-load with rear console: back of the control panel or behind the console
- Front-load washers: inside the door opening, on the door jamb, or behind the door
- All styles: side of the main cabinet near the bottom edge, or the rear panel
What to write down (and why)
Record the full model number and serial number exactly as shown. This helps ensure the right fit for parts and accessories.
| Label item | Example | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | 11010018000 | Identifies the exact design and compatible parts list |
| Serial number | (varies) | Helps match production series and revisions |
| Purchase date | (your date) | Useful for maintenance records and warranty paperwork |
Tips to avoid common mix-ups
- Match every digit; Kenmore numbers can look similar (for example, missing a zero changes the model).

This model is a work surface that sits on top of a washer and dryer pair. The manual calls out common fit constraints that matter when you are trying to substitute parts or accessories.
| Fit item to verify | Typical requirement for this work surface | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Washer width | 27 in. | Ensures the top sits correctly |
