A Kenmore washer shares most of its basic parts with other washers, but its drive design, lid or door lock, controls and error codes are specific to the brand. The El Dorado list starts with companies that name Kenmore, followed by other appliance repair companies that work on washers.
This is an independent directory. We are not affiliated with Kenmore, and the technicians listed are independent repair companies, not the manufacturer.
If you bought your Kenmore at Sears, you do not need to go back to Sears for a repair. Independent technicians near El Dorado work on Kenmore washers regularly.
