Standard Dryer Sizes
Published 2026-07-24 ยท Category: guide
Electric dryers are commonly sold in 27-inch and 29-inch widths. A 29-inch dryer is typically paired with a matching top-load washer, while 27-inch models are common in front-load laundry pairs where vertical stacking is planned. Capacity also rises with the larger drum volume, reaching 7.5 cu. ft. in the 27-inch Samsung DVE45B6300W.
The dataset includes two 29-inch dryers: the Whirlpool WED5050LW and Maytag MED6200KW. Both are 29 inches wide and close to 40.5 to 40.6875 inches tall. Their cabinet depths are 28.375 inches, but with the door open they extend to 50.6875 inches. These 29-inch models typically pair with top-load washers.
The 27-inch dryers are the GE Appliances GTD72EBSNWS, LG DLE3400W, and Samsung DVE45B6300W. Heights range from 38.75 inches on the Samsung to 46 inches on the GE. Cabinet depths run from 30.125 to 31.3125 inches. Because dryer doors also swing outward, depth-with-door-open measurements start at 51.375 inches and reach 52.8125 inches on the Samsung.
Capacity ranges from 7.0 cu. ft. on the 29-inch models to 7.5 cu. ft. on the Samsung DVE45B6300W. Electrical requirements differ: 120V/240V or 240V service is required, with listed amperage from 24A to 30A.
