Kenmore Appliance Repair
We repair Kenmore appliances in your own home, across Des Plaines and the suburbs around it. What Kenmore actually manufactures is set out below, taken from the current range rather than from a generic list, and it matches what our technicians are equipped and trained to service.
Why the make changes the repair
Kenmore is known for elite laundry, long lived top load washers and dependable refrigeration. Engineering decisions like those determine how an appliance eventually fails, and therefore how it has to be tested. Working through parts in order of price arrives at the right answer eventually, by elimination, and the elimination appears on the customer invoice. We would rather read the stored error history and take a measurement.
Parts and warranty
Manufacturer Kenmore parts are used wherever they are still available. Where one has been discontinued, which happens on older and imported models, we tell you plainly that a high quality equivalent is the better or the only option, and the part number goes on your invoice either way. Every repair carries 30 days on our labor together with the manufacturer warranty on anything we install.
Before you book
Track down the model number first if you can. On Kenmore appliances it is usually on the door frame, behind the kick plate, inside a drawer runner or on the rear panel, depending on which appliance it is. If the plate is hard to read, send us a photograph when you book and we will read it for you. With the model confirmed, the parts that most often fail on your exact unit travel out with the technician, and that is the reason most of these appointments finish in one visit.

Recurring Kenmore problems
Patterns we have learned from returning to this make over the years. Recognizing one of them usually shortens the diagnostics considerably.
Top load washer will not spin
On the direct drive platforms this is the coupler; on belt driven machines it is the clutch or the belt. The model number tells us which before we arrive.
Dryer heats intermittently
A thermal cut-out beginning to open as the cabinet warms, which points back at the venting rather than the part itself.
Refrigerator frosting in the freezer
The defrost timer on older units, the adaptive defrost board on newer ones. Both are inexpensive and both are testable in place.
