⚡ One call to a Kenmore washer technician near you
☎(866) 293-4411

Know which Kenmore washer you have before you call. Kenmore makes top-load agitator, top-load impeller, front-load, and all-in-one combo models, and the technician will ask.

Kenmore Washer Lines and Features

Quad Action ImpellerA top load impeller design that uses four different wash motions in place of a center post agitator.
Accela SoakA feature that draws concentrated detergent up from the bottom of the basket to soak the load.

How Kenmore Washers Are Built

Top load models are built with either a Triple Action Agitator or an agitator-free impeller wash plate, which changes the parts and wash motion a technician works on. Source: Kenmore - Laundry Helper: Kenmore Washer Buying Guide

Select models include Deep Fill or water level control, which raises or lowers the fill level beyond the automatic setting. Source: Kenmore - Laundry Helper: Kenmore Washer Buying Guide

When to Call for Kenmore Washer Repair

  • Grinding or roaring noise that rises with spin speed
  • Water left in the drum after the cycle
  • An error code on the display

What a Washing Machine Technician Checks

Drain hose and standpipeThe drain hose runs to a standpipe or laundry sink. A kinked hose, a clog in the standpipe or a hose pushed too far down the pipe can stop draining or siphon water out mid-fill.
Controls and error codesElectronic washers report faults with codes. The technician reads the code and runs the brand's test mode where there is one, then checks wiring and the control board before ordering it, since boards are among the costlier parts.

Kenmore Washer Repair Cost Ranges

For a drum repair, consider replacing the washer instead if it is more than five years old or has had frequent problems. Source: HomeAdvisor - How Much Do Washing Machine Repairs Cost?

Ranges are published estimates, not quotes. See the washing machine repair cost guide and whether to repair or replace a washer.

Getting Ready for the Repair

  • Any error code shown on the display
  • The brand, model and serial number from the label inside the lid, around the door opening or on the back of the cabinet
  • Where the washer drains (standpipe or laundry sink)

What State College Owners Should Know

Most washer calls in State College come down to the same handful of parts: the drain pump and filter, the lid switch or door lock, the drive belt or coupler, the inlet valve and the suspension.

Pennsylvania has no statewide license for appliance repair or for most construction trades; contractors doing home improvement work must register with the Attorney General, and some municipalities license trades such as plumbing.

In Pennsylvania, you can check a license with the PA Office of Attorney General Home Improvement Contractor Registration Search or report a problem to the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General.

Hiring a Washer Repair Company in State College

  • Is your company licensed where my state requires it, and insured?
  • Do you work on front-load and top-load washers, or only one type?
  • If the problem turns out to be the supply valves or the standpipe, do you handle that or should I call a plumber?

Kenmore Washer Repair FAQs: State College, PA

What stops a washer from spinning?
An unbalanced load, water that will not drain, or a lid switch or door lock that is not engaging stops most spin cycles. If those check out, a technician looks at the drive belt, motor coupling, motor and control.
Why does my Kenmore washer show an error code?
Write the code down, check the brand's guidance for it and clear simple causes such as a clogged drain filter, a kinked hose or an unbalanced load. If the code returns, a technician can test the part the code points to.
Why does my front-load washer smell?
Residue from detergent and fabric softener collects in the door boot, the dispenser and the drum. Wipe the boot, clean the dispenser, run the washer's cleaning cycle or a hot empty cycle, and leave the door open between loads.
