We were in for a surprise when we replaced ours, NO not everything fits. The newer models are deeper than the older models. I did not want small size ones and we bought the Kenmore Elite front loaders. they barely fit, had to use a flat connector for the dryer and we just barely have clearance have to hold the door knob in when opening and closing and we put a rubber bumper strip on the drive for hen we forget. We originally ordered top loaders and the depth was to deep but the installers from Sears didn't know what they were doing and did not suggest the flat dryer connection for tight spaces. Take measurements ! They planned very poorly when they built these models.
