Will it fit?
Measure your space before you buy — this is the first question, before price or running cost.
We don't have published fit dimensions for this exact model yet. Measure your space and doorway path before buying — width, depth with the door open, and the path from the door to the install spot. Check the manufacturer's own spec sheet for exact numbers.
Our verdict
This is a 7.4 cu ft gas clothes dryer from Kenmore. We can't compute a fair running-cost comparison for this model — the certified electricity figure only covers the motor and controls, not the gas heat, which is most of a gas dryer's real cost. Gas dryers usually cost less to run per year than electric ones, but this model needs an existing gas line — a hard fit requirement, not just a preference, so confirm that before you buy.

Gas dryer running cost — the honest limits
Gas dryers usually cost less to run than electric dryers, but we can't compute a dollar figure for this model — the certified kWh number covers only the electric motor and controls, not the gas heat itself, and no gas-BTU-per-cycle figure exists in the federal certification data to compute an honest total. Don't compare this row to an electric dryer's dollar figure; the two aren't measuring the same thing.

Energy use & running cost — computed by Verified Appliance Data
Annual energy use
kWh = kilowatt-hours, a measure of electricity used in a year. Certified annual energy use, per DOE/ENERGY STAR (electric motor/controls draw only — see note below).
Annual running cost
Gas dryers: see the honest explanation below.
Computed from this unit's kWh/yr × EIA electricity price (formula published on methodology).

Recalls
We don't make per-model recall claims — the CPSC's own recall records are almost never tagged with a specific model number, only a brand and product type. Search the federal recall database yourself for Kenmore dryers before you buy or if something seems wrong with yours.
Search CPSC recalls →Documented litigation
We haven't found documented litigation for Kenmore dryers in our research. That doesn't mean none exists — it means we haven't verified any yet.

Your repair rights — depends on your state
Several states now give you a legal right to request parts, tools, and documentation from the manufacturer to repair your own major appliance — but this is not a national right yet, and it's enforced by the state attorney general, not something you can sue over yourself.
- California, Colorado, Oregon, Minnesota — in force now (CA since 7/1/2024, CO since 1/1/2026, OR since 2025, MN since 7/1/2024).
- Connecticut — takes effect 7/1/2026.
- New York and Texas — appliances are explicitly excluded from those states' repair laws. A blanket "you have the right to repair" claim would be false there.
- Everywhere else — no appliance-specific repair-rights law found as of this writing.

Frequently asked questions
How much energy does the Kenmore 7165*20* use per year?
Its certified energy use is 687 kWh (kilowatt-hours — a measure of electricity used) per year. This dryer runs on gas — that kWh figure covers the electric motor and controls only, not the gas heating energy, so we don't compute a total annual running cost from it (see the cost note below).
Is the Kenmore 7165*20* ENERGY STAR certified?
Yes.
Where can I buy the Kenmore 7165*20*?
See the price and buy section above — we show a real, dated price only when we have a UPC-verified retailer match; otherwise we link a direct model-number search rather than guess.
Sources. Efficiency and capacity ratings from DOE certification (CCMS) and ENERGY STAR certification data. Annual running cost is computed by Verified Appliance Data from published ratings and EIA energy prices — see our methodology. Dimensions, plug/electrical, warranty, manual links and price (where shown) come from manufacturer spec sheets, manuals, and — for price only — a UPC-verified Amazon match; every enrichment fact carries its own source and retrieval date. We publish no star ratings and take no payment for placement. "Not published" means the source doesn't disclose it — we never fill a spec with a guess.
