Kenmore Washer Repair for Owners, Renters and Landlords
We are independent and have no tie to Kenmore. If the washer is still inside its Kenmore warranty, the manufacturer should be your first call. Once that coverage has ended, include the model number and the symptom in your booking so parts can be looked up ahead of the visit.
How a Washer Repair Visit Works
Tell Us What's Wrong
Name the make, add the model number if it is handy, and describe the symptom. A picture of the label inside the door lets us check parts.
Diagnosis at Your Home
The technician tests the appliance along with its power, water, drain, gas or vent connections until the fault is confirmed.
A Price Before Work
We name the failed part and give you the cost of fixing it. Work starts only after you agree.
Repair and Check
The part is installed and the appliance is run through a cycle so you can watch it working.
Inside a Kenmore washer
Kenmore top-loaders with a 110 prefix are Whirlpool machines, and the older direct-drive ones are about as repairable as washers get: a worn motor coupler, a lid switch or a pump usually explains why they stopped agitating, spinning or draining. Newer 110 top-loaders use a lid lock and a shift actuator that switches the drive between wash and spin, and those fail in their own recognizable ways. The 796 front-loaders are LG designs with a direct-drive motor and a door lock, and drain codes on them usually lead to the pump filter at the bottom front. On any front-loader, a torn door boot or a musty smell is common, and a grinding spin points to bearings. We check hoses and the drain on upstairs and basement installs alike.
Common failure points on Kenmore washers
- Motor coupler broken on direct-drive top-loaders
- Lid lock or lid switch failure
- Shift actuator stuck in wash or spin
- Drain pump clogged on front-loaders
- Door boot torn or moldy

Still have a question?
Get in touch with the brand, the symptom and, if you can find it, the model number. Some things we can answer right away; others need a technician in front of the machine.
On a Whirlpool-built direct-drive model, the usual cause is a broken motor coupler, which is a modest repair. We confirm it before recommending anything larger.
On LG-built 796 models, start with the pump filter behind the lower access panel. If it's clear and the pump won't run, we test the pump and wiring.
