kenmore dryer asbestos?

9 years ago

I just picked up an old yellow Kenmore dryer from around 1977, model number 66771-76771. I'm trying to find out if it has any asbestos in it before i use it..maybe in the felt drum seals? Maybe someone can help me?

I'm guessing you got that model # off the instruction manual. It's not the full correct number. That's on a tag affixed to the machine, should be on the loading port when the door is open, probably starts with 110. (the 110. is part of the full number and indicates Whirlpool as the manufacturer).

Unlikely there's any asbestos involved.

Yeah I found the data plate and it says the model number/ stock number is 76677610 and yes in bolder faunt there is a 110 in front of that..I just wanted to be sure before I start throwing mine and and my wifes clothes in it. I disassembled the whole thing the day I got it to clean it and the only places I see that have any fiber like material is the front and back drum seal.
