Kenmore Washer Repair in Southern California
With a Kenmore, the first question is who made it. A 110-series washer behaves like a Whirlpool, a 796-series (many Kenmore Elite front-loaders) like an LG, a 417-series like a Frigidaire — same parts, same failures, same codes. Tell us the full model number on the phone and we come with the right parts.
Same day across seven counties, no trip fee, $69 diagnostic waived when you approve the repair, 90-day warranty on parts and labor. Licensed: BHGS #49573. We are an independent repair service, not affiliated with Kenmore.

| OE / IE / UE / dE | 796-series, LG-built: same codes as LG washers (drain, fill, unbalanced, door). |

Kenmore models we work on
Kenmore and Kenmore Elite top-load and front-load washers — 110 (Whirlpool-built), 796 (LG-built), 417 (Electrolux/Frigidaire-built) and other series. Kenmore never built its own machines: Kenmore washers and dryers were made by Whirlpool, LG, Electrolux/Frigidaire and others. The first three digits of the model number tell who built it — 110 is Whirlpool, 796 is LG, 417 is Electrolux/Frigidaire.
