If your Kenmore washer has stopped draining, stopped spinning or started showing a code, the technician you call should know the model line. 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.
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.

Local Notes for Kirkland
City of Kirkland Water Division (wholesale supply from Seattle Public Utilities via Cascade Water Alliance), which supplies Kirkland, reports hardness of about 1.43 grains per gallon as CaCO3 (roughly 24 mg/L), which the city describes as naturally very soft. 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.
