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. Below are independent repair companies serving Roanoke, with those that mention Kenmore first, then the nearest appliance repair companies.
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.
Kenmore appliances were sold through Sears for decades, so many owners look for Sears washer repair. The companies here are independent technicians who work on Kenmore and Kenmore Elite washers; they are not Sears.
