  1. Unplug the Kenmore dryer power cord from the wall outlet. Turn the screw securing the duct hose clamp to the rear of the dryer counterclockwise two turns with a Phillips screwdriver. Pull the dryer duct away from the dryer.

  2. Turn the gas valve to the "Off" position, if you have a gas version of the 427-8114200. The gas valve is on the house pipe behind the dryer and before the flexible line. If you have a lever handle, it should point away from the line when in the "Off" position. Valves with knobs turn clockwise to shut-off the gas supply. Disconnect the gas supply line at the joint between the dryer and the gas shut-off valve.

  3. Go to the front of the washer and dryer and look for two small round caps. Pry the caps off with a flat-head screwdriver to reveal the bracket mounting screws. Remove the screws with a Phillips screwdriver.

  4. Lift the front of the dryer with the help of an assistant. Pull the dryer forward to unhook it from the rear brackets. Pull the dryer completely off the washer and set it carefully on the floor.
