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.
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 Issaquah work on Kenmore washers regularly.

Laundry Notes for Issaquah, WA
City of Issaquah Public Works (city wells blended with Cascade Water Alliance supply from Seattle's Tolt and Cedar River system), which supplies Issaquah, reports hardness of about 58-93 mg/L as calcium carbonate at the city's wells (soft to moderately hard); South Lake Sammamish and Montreux receive only Cascade Water Alliance surface water. Hard water leaves scale on washer inlet screens and heating parts and calls for the right detergent dose, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.
