Kenmore repair starts with knowing who built it
Kenmore was sold for many years through Sears and other stores. Over time, different companies built Kenmore appliances. That means two Kenmore washers can have very different parts inside. The first step in a Kenmore repair is to find out who made your model.
We look up the model number, match it to the real maker, and then test the likely parts. You get a written estimate first, and honest advice about whether an older Kenmore is worth repairing.

How we find the real maker of your Kenmore
Kenmore model numbers hold clues. Here is how we track down the right parts.
Find the model tag
Look inside the door, on the frame, or on the back of the appliance.
Read the model number
The first digits of a Kenmore model number often point to the company that built it.
Match the internal parts
We match your model to the maker's parts list so we order the right part.
Test before we replace
We test the likely part first, so we do not replace what still works.
Explain the result
We tell you what we found, what it costs, and if it is worth fixing.
Send a photo of your model tag when you call, and we can often check parts before the visit.

Repair or replace your Kenmore appliance?
Kenmore appliances are often older, so the decision matters. Use the 50% rule: if the repair costs more than half the price of a comparable new appliance, replacing may be smarter. A small part on a machine under about 12 years old is usually worth fixing. A big fault on a much older machine may not be.
Small-part repairs
Belts, fuses, switches, and igniters usually pay off.
Motor or board on an older unit
We compare the cost with a new appliance and tell you honestly.
Parts hard to find
If a part is no longer made, we tell you before you decide.
