Enter your dryer dimensions and doorway measurements to check clearance instantly.
Whether it fits depends on measurements most people get wrong.
Dryer width (27") vs. door clear opening (30–32")
Item: Standard dryer: 27" W × 39" H × 28–32" D
Space: Standard interior door: 30–32" clear opening
Actual clear openings are usually 1–2″ smaller than the labeled size.
Your exact dimensions probably aren't "standard." Small measurement errors cause big problems — 1 inch can be the difference between fitting and getting stuck.
Verdicts are calculated by comparing all 6 item orientations against the space dimensions using verified building code standards. See our methodology

1 inch can be the difference between fitting and getting stuck.
“Checked my mattress before ordering. Tight fit, but it worked with the door removed.” — Online shopper

Standard sizes say it works — but your measurements are what matter.
Standard full-size dryers are 27 inches wide, 39 inches tall, and 28–32 inches deep (plus 4–6 inches for the vent). Compact/stackable dryers are 24 inches wide.
The dryer door doesn't add significant width, but you can remove it for about 1 inch of clearance. More importantly, check if your home's door can be removed from its hinges for an extra 1.5–2 inches.
A standard 27-inch dryer will barely fit through a 28-inch door with only 0.5 inches of clearance per side. Remove the house door from its hinges and any protruding handles from the dryer. A compact 24-inch dryer fits easily.
