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. We flag companies whose listing or website mentions Kenmore and fill in with nearby appliance repair companies so you always have options.
Independent listings only: Washing Machine Repair Near Me is not affiliated with or endorsed by Kenmore. If your washer is still under manufacturer coverage, contact Kenmore directly.
If you bought your Kenmore at Sears, you do not need to go back to Sears for a repair. Independent technicians near Kingston work on Kenmore washers regularly.
