Kenmore Washer Parts

Use this Kenmore parts directory to organize an exact-model part match. It is not a claim that any listed component fits every Kenmore washer.

Establish the model and component before shopping

Safety and state. For an active fault, stop for unsafe movement, escaping water or electrical warning signs. Do not bypass locks or attempt undocumented internal tests.

  • Record the full model identifier including suffixes.
  • Identify the failed function and verified component; do not buy a part solely because a symptom mentions it.
  • Find the applicable exploded diagram, exact part number and any documented replacement/supersession.

Use the complete Kenmore model, not the brand badge

  1. Open Kenmore’s Contact Us page. Its Parts & Accessories link leads to Sears PartsDirect, separately from the appliance-repair and product-question routes.
  2. Search the Sears PartsDirect Kenmore washer catalog with the complete model from the label. Confirm the displayed appliance, then use its illustrated model record to identify the assembly and ordering part number.
  3. Keep the diagram callout, assembly name and orderable identifier separate. If a listing shows a replacement number, confirm its full-model applicability and any required kit contents with the provider.
  4. Use Kenmore’s official manual finder for applicable owner instructions. A parts diagram and an owner manual serve different purposes; neither alone confirms that a component has failed.

If the manual search rejects the model

The Kenmore manual finder currently asks for a model number of at least 11 characters and no special characters. Keep an exact copy of the appliance label in your record, then follow the finder’s stated search format. This website input rule does not establish that every Kenmore washer label has that format.

Do not pad, truncate or invent model digits to obtain a result. If your label does not fit the finder or the result describes another appliance, use the parts-provider or Kenmore support route with the full identifier. Keep fitment unresolved until the correct record is confirmed.

If you only know a symptom

Use the drainage decision path or the spin decision path before shopping. A manufacturer name, model prefix or a visually similar part is not a diagnosis or a compatibility finding. For an unresolved internal repair, prepare a Kenmore service request.

This page verifies the manufacturer-linked lookup workflow. It does not map every Kenmore model to an underlying manufacturer or certify an individual part, stock, supersession or installation procedure.

Choose the observation that matches

The fault is not yet diagnosed

Use the observed symptom first. A drainage, spin, fill or locking problem can involve more than one component.

You have a part number

Verify it against the full model and document revision. Check whether a supersession includes extra hardware, wiring or instructions.

A listing matches the brand or series only

Treat fitment as unresolved. Compare the exact model record and required assembly, not the product photograph.

A part is unavailable or appears discontinued

Confirm the supply record and approved alternatives with a current source. Do not infer interchangeability from a similar platform.

Organize the part by function

Water path

Inlet assembly, seals, filter/trap if fitted, pump and hoses have separate roles.

Movement and support

Drive arrangement, belt/coupling if fitted, motor, suspension and bearing/tub parts are model-dependent.

Closure and controls

Strike, latch, switch, lock, interface and main controller may be separate assemblies. Confirm the failed function.

A verified part match needs

  • Full model and applicable diagram/revision.
  • Exact part and documented supersession.
  • Connector, mounting and assembly requirements from applicable documentation.
  • Safe installation and post-repair verification instructions.

Order only after the match is established

Confirm seller terms, required kit contents and the repair procedure before committing. Unverified compatibility stays unresolved; no model is matched by brand or appearance alone.

Repair complexity

Owner-accessible accessories and internal mechanical/electrical repairs have different access and skill requirements. Evaluate the documented repair before ordering.

Repair or replacement decision

Repair can make sense

A defined fault, a verified repair path, available parts and an otherwise suitable washer support getting a complete repair quote. Check warranty coverage before paying for work.

Compare replacement

Compare the complete repair quote with a suitable replacement installed in your space. Include delivery, installation, removal, required accessories and other existing faults. There is no universal age, price or percentage cutoff.

Diagnosis still uncertain

Get the fault established before choosing an expensive part or replacing the appliance. Ask which findings support the proposed repair and what the quote includes.

Record the appliance and the finding

  • Copy the full model identifier, including suffixes, from the appliance label. A family name or marketing badge is insufficient.
  • Record the cycle stage, load, retained water and exact displayed message. Keep observations separate from a suspected failed part.
  • Match any procedure or part to the exact model and applicable manual revision before acting.

Sources and applicability

Checked October 12, 2026. Exact component fitment and safe repair procedures require separate model-specific confirmation.
