At 4.0 cu. ft., the 81202 is Kenmore’s smallest current dryer, built to pair with its compact 2.2 cu. ft. front-load washer in tight apartment-style laundry closets. Compact installs often route through a longer or narrower vent duct than a full-size dryer would use, which makes airflow restriction an even more common cause of slow-drying complaints on this model than on a standard-capacity unit.
