Kenmore owners in Camden usually want two things from a repair company: experience with the brand and quick access to parts. The Camden 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.
With a Kenmore washer, the model number matters more than the badge: it tells a technician exactly which parts and repair steps apply. Find it on the label before you call.
