Kenmore Elite electric ranges and wall ovens provide a safer way to cook, with no worries about naked flames. Feel easy knowing that your Kenmore Elite oven won’t be a gas-leak risk in your kitchen. A Kenmore Elite electric range uses elements under the cooktop, for an easy to clean flat surface. The range’s oven uses electric heating elements for an even and dry baking, resulting in no more cold spots.
Kenmore Elite ranges and wall ovens include convenient features such as self-cleaning, warm & hold, and timed baking. Every meal turns out great when cooking on Kenmore Elite appliances.

Our technicians have the knowledge, technical resources and parts to fix any Kenmore Elite appliance.
Our specialized knowledge of these appliances leads us to share these common repair issues so you can know what to expect in the unlikely event that you encounter a problem with your Kenmore Elite model.
We sometimes see Kenmore Elite side-by-side fridges with the freezer working fine but the refrigerator section was too warm. This is a classic problem with 795-Series side-by-sides. The evaporator fan motor can sometimes get jammed by excessive frost due to an air leak through a door gasket. When the fan doesn’t run, the refrigerator won’t cool properly.
Inspect the door gaskets regularly and reattach any loose door seals. If a gasket is damaged, replace it. In some models, it’s easier to have a refrigerator repair technician replace the door gasket.
Control boards fail too in some Kenmore Elite refrigerators. Usually you'll notice weird temperature swings or the compressor never shuts off. The board controls everything - when the compressor runs, when defrost happens, all that. When it gets glitchy, nothing works right. Control boards are expensive. It’s best to have a professional service technician examine and repair the fridge when you suspect a control board failure.
Ice makers cause more headaches than almost any other part. Water supply problems, motor failures, frozen fill tubes – we’ve seen them all.
The water inlet valve clogs from minerals in the water and won’t allow water to flow properly. Result? Small, hollow ice cubes or none at all. Replacing the water filter regularly helps prevent this problem.
The ice maker assembly has a motor inside that pushes the cubes out of the tray. Those motors wear out. You'll hear it trying to cycle but nothing happens. Or it makes a grinding noise like it's struggling. The whole assembly usually needs replacement when this happens.
Kenmore Elite washers have some really nice features. But when they stop spinning, your clothes aren't getting clean.
Drive belts break after years of use. You'll hear the motor running but the drum just sits there. Or maybe it rotates a little then stops. Getting to that belt means pulling the whole machine apart. This is not a five-minute replacement job. Seek professional appliance repair help when your washer won’t spin.
Motor couplers fail a lot on the direct-drive models. It's a small plastic and rubber piece that connects the motor to the transmission. Overloading the washer regularly causes them to wear out faster. It’s a pretty simple part to replace, but you still need to take half the washer apart to replace it.
Lid switches go bad too. They tell the machine if it's safe to spin. When they fail, the washer fills and agitates but won't spin or drain. You can unplug the washer and test the lid switch using a multimeter. Replace the switch if it’s bad.
Many Kenmore Elite appliances feature advanced digital displays that look nice but can run into problems. Buttons stop responding or the display starts missing segments.
Power surges can fry these control panels. One good lightning storm and you're looking at an expensive replacement. Surge protectors help but most people don't use them.
We sometimes get service calls for a Kenmore Elite dryer running cold. Clothes just tumbling for hours, never getting dry. It’s a frustrating problem.
Here are common causes:
Kenmore Elite dishwashers have advanced wash systems. Multiple spray arms, targeted water jets, all sorts of tricks to get dishes clean. But sometimes they just don't work right.
Kenmore Elite ranges have both gas and electric versions. Each has their own problems.
The oven igniter weakens on gas models. It's supposed to glow hot enough to open the gas valve and light the gas. When it gets weak, the oven takes forever to light, or never lights at all. Most common repair we do on gas Elites.
Bake elements burn out in electric ovens. They're just big heating coils. Metal fatigue after years of heating and cooling causes them to fail eventually. Usually see visible damage - holes, blisters, or broken sections.
Control boards fail in Kenmore Elite models with digital displays. Temperature regulation goes haywire. The oven runs too hot or not hot enough. Sometimes the display works fine but the oven doesn't respond to commands.
Surface burners have their own problems. Electric coil elements just stop working. Or they heat unevenly - hot in some spots, cold in others.
The smooth-top models get broken elements under the glass. You can't see the damage, but the burner won't heat. Sometimes it heats but cycles on and off incorrectly.
Gas burners get clogged with food spillovers. The little holes get blocked and flames burn yellow instead of blue. Or they don't light evenly around the ring. Usually they just need cleaning, but sometimes the burner heads need replacement.
Some Kenmore Elite issues you can fix yourself. Cleaning dishwasher spray arms, checking for clogged dryer vents, making sure the fridge has proper airflow - simple maintenance often keeps things running right.
But for electrical problems, gas appliance issues, or anything involving major disassembly, calling us makes sense. Our Kenmore appliance repair techs work on Kenmore Elites all the time. We know their quirks and common failure points.
We stock parts for popular Kenmore Elite models in our service vehicles. We often fix problems in one visit instead of ordering parts and coming back days later. And we guarantee our work.
Give us a call when your Kenmore Elite appliance needs professional attention. We'll get your appliance working again without the headache of complex troubleshooting or hunting down parts one your own.

Helpful and well-informed
I was hoping to get a better understanding of the appliances the technician was working on, and my hopes were realized. Roger was clear, patient, helpful and informative, as well as very efficient at solving the problems we had. It's definitely a relief to have our appliances working properly and to have a better understanding of what steps to take the next time one of them isn't working.

Washing machine
He knew what he was doing. He went directly, was going on after turning on the washing machine, and he found the problem right away picking up the washing machine looking underneath and he found the problem. I thank him because he really know what he was doing that like the last technician that came yesterday, so I thank you
