Our dryer just died and I wanted to know the cubic ft of it but I don't know where to look. If someone could please point me to a website or somewhere to look on the dryer I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

Measure the diameter(d) and the depth (h) in inches

Volume =( (3.14) * (d/2) * (d/2) * h) / (12*12*12)

That measurement will be less than the actual cubic feet. If you want to be more accurate, subtract out the projections.

The formula is just the area of a circle multiplied by the height with the conversion from cubic inches to cubic feet thrown in.
