Kenmore Dryer Model Number: Where to Look
On Kenmore dryers, the model number is commonly printed on a label inside the door opening, behind the lint filter door, or on the back panel. Open the door and check the cabinet frame first, then look around the lint filter area and rear of the machine if you do not see it. Copy the complete model number, including periods and other characters, from the label rather than relying on the dryer's appearance. Type it into our model number lookup and the catalog narrows to parts made for your unit. This filters the full Kenmore dryer parts selection, not just one part category, so you can quickly identify compatible parts and avoid ordering by guesswork.
