Mr. Fixer technician repairing a Kenmore appliance

Kenmore was a fixture of American homes for decades, and plenty of Kenmore washers, dryers, refrigerators and ranges are still working hard in Atlanta. When one breaks, the most useful thing to know is who actually built it, because that tells us which parts and repair procedures apply.

Mr. Fixer repairs Kenmore and Kenmore Elite washers, dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers, ranges and garbage disposals. We match the model to its manufacturer and bring the correct parts.

About Kenmore appliances

Kenmore began as the house appliance brand of Sears, and Sears did not manufacture the appliances itself. Instead, companies such as Whirlpool, LG, Electrolux (Frigidaire) and others built Kenmore models to order. The first three digits of a Kenmore model number usually identify the maker: for example, 110 is commonly Whirlpool laundry, 795 and 796 are commonly LG refrigerators and laundry, and 253 is commonly Frigidaire refrigeration. That prefix is how we know whether your Kenmore shares parts with a Whirlpool, LG or Frigidaire model, which is often the fastest route to an affordable repair.

Common Kenmore problems we fix

Kenmore washer not spinning or draining

The cause depends on the builder. Whirlpool-built top-loaders often need a lid lock, drive part or pump, while LG-built front-loaders more often have a clogged pump filter or a door lock issue. We test based on the platform.

Kenmore dryer squeaking or not heating

Whirlpool-built Kenmore dryers are known for worn drum rollers, idler pulleys and belts, along with thermal fuses and elements. Gas versions commonly need igniters or valve coils.

Refrigerator warm or ice maker failing

A Kenmore fridge may share parts with an LG, Whirlpool or Frigidaire model. Defrost failures, fan problems and ice maker faults are the most common, and the model prefix tells us which designs to expect.

Dishwasher leaving residue

Kenmore dishwashers commonly suffer from clogged filters, failing wash pumps or a heater that has stopped working. We check water temperature and spray arm flow to pin down the cause.

Range or oven not heating

Bake elements, igniters, infinite switches and temperature sensors are the usual failures. Because many Kenmore ranges are Frigidaire or Whirlpool built, those parts are typically easy to get.

Garbage disposal humming or leaking

A jammed flywheel, a worn seal or a cracked housing are common on older Kenmore disposals. A leak from the body of the unit usually means replacement is the better choice.

Kenmore tips from our technicians

  • Find your full Kenmore model number before you call. It typically includes a three-digit prefix, a period, and more digits. Sharing it lets us identify the manufacturer right away.
  • On Kenmore dryers, clean the lint screen every load and have the vent run checked. A clogged vent is behind many repeat thermal fuse failures.

Kenmore repair FAQs

Who made my Kenmore appliance?

The first three digits of the model number usually tell us. Common examples are 110 for Whirlpool laundry and 795 for LG refrigerators. Send us the full number and we can identify it.

Can I still get Kenmore parts now that Sears has changed?

Usually, yes. Because Kenmore appliances share parts with the brands that built them, most parts remain available through those manufacturers' supply chains.

Is it worth fixing an older Kenmore?

Often. Many older Kenmore machines were built on durable platforms with inexpensive parts. Read our repair or replace guide or call (678) 866-3669 for an honest opinion.
