Kenmore Appliance Repair in Westmont & DuPage County
Kenmore dryers, washers, ovens and refrigerators. Many Kenmore appliances in DuPage homes are 10 to 20 years old and still worth repairing.
Who really made your Kenmore
Kenmore appliances were sold by Sears, but they were built by other manufacturers. The first three digits of the model number, before the dot, tell you who made it, and that is how we know which parts and repair procedures apply. A few of the most common:
| Model starts with | Usually built by |
|---|---|
| 106 / 110 | Whirlpool (106: refrigerators; 110: washers and dryers) |
| 795 / 796 | LG (795: refrigerators; 796: washers and dryers) |
| 253 / 417 / 790 | Frigidaire / Electrolux (253: refrigerators; 417: washers and dryers; 790: ranges) |
Find the model number on a sticker inside the dryer door or lid, inside the refrigerator, or behind the oven drawer. Send it to us and we will tell you what we are working with.
Common Kenmore problems we fix
Kenmore dryer won't heat or takes forever
On electric models: a heating element, thermal fuse or thermostat. On gas models: the igniter or gas valve coils. A clogged vent is often the real cause, so we check it too.
Kenmore dryer won't start or squeals
A blown thermal fuse, door switch or start switch when it won't start; worn drum rollers, idler pulley or belt when it squeals or thumps.
Kenmore washer won't drain or spin
A clogged drain pump or hose, a lid switch or door lock, or a worn drive part. Front-load Kenmore washers built by LG show codes like OE or dE.
Kenmore oven won't heat
A burned-out bake element on electric ovens or a weak igniter on gas ovens. Temperature problems are usually the oven sensor.
Kenmore refrigerator not cooling
A frosted-over evaporator from a defrost problem, a failed fan motor or a dirty condenser. Sealed-system work is possible too: we are EPA 608 certified.

Before you call
- Write down the full model number from the sticker (for example 110.xxxxxxx).

- Clean the dryer lint screen and check the outside vent hood for airflow.
- Note any error code on the display.
