What should I expect to go wrong with my Kenmore washer?

The recurring faults are lid switch or lid lock, drain pump clogs, drive coupler on older top-loaders, and tub bearings on front-loaders. Avoid stuffing large bedding into an older Kenmore top-loader, since overloads are what snap the motor coupler.

Is my Kenmore washer worth fixing?

Kenmore repairs depend on the builder: Whirlpool-built laundry is usually cheap to fix, while older units may be past the point where parts remain available.

Do you offer same-day Kenmore washer repair?

It depends on the day's schedule. When there is an opening we can come the same day; otherwise we book the earliest slot that works for you.

Kenmore washer repair: what to know

Most Kenmore top-load washers were Whirlpool-built, while some front-loaders came from Whirlpool and others from LG.

The Kenmore washer faults we run into most are lid switch or lid lock, drain pump clogs, drive coupler on older top-loaders, and tub bearings on front-loaders. The symptoms that bring us out include will not spin, not agitating, and water left in the tub. On an older Kenmore top-loader that fills and drains but will not agitate, the motor coupler is a common inexpensive failure. A washer that will not start or spin with the door closed is often a door lock or lid switch fault.

Whirlpool-built Kenmore top-loaders with direct-drive motors use a plastic and rubber motor coupler designed to break under overload, protecting the transmission. Newer high-efficiency top-loaders and front-loaders follow their builder's platform for lid locks, pumps and controls. Bearing failures on older front-loaders often make replacement the better choice, while couplers, switches and pumps are worth repairing.

With SDG&E time-of-use rates, many people run the washer overnight, so a slow leak can run for hours before anyone sees it. Before quoting, we pull the error history if the control stores it and check hoses, filters and switches.

When a Kenmore front-load washer with a 796 prefix will not drain, the cause is typically the LG-built drain pump filter rather than the control. Repairs such as the drive coupler on older top-loaders come with a written estimate beforehand and a 90-day parts, 30-day labor warranty after.

Clean the drain pump filter every few months on front-loaders, and leave the door open after a cycle to let the gasket dry. We see loud grinding on spin on Kenmore washers in homes all over the county, coastal and inland alike.
