Kenmore washing machine repair issues we can fix

Whether you have a front-load washer dryer combo, top-load washer dryer combo, or combination unit, the experts at Sears Home Services can perform Kenmore washing machine repairs whether your problem is big or small.

A service call involves diagnosing the appliance's malfunction and making repairs quickly. A repair technician can also recommend routine maintenance to extend your washer dryer combo's life.

Washing machine shaking or vibrating

Excessive shaking or vibrating could indicate several problems, including something as minor as a bulky clothing item sticking to one side of the tub wall or adjusting the feet to level the machine.

There could also be more significant issues with your Kenmore washer dryer combo that require a repair technician, such as worn or failed shock absorbers or drive parts or tub bearings that are water damaged from a broken seal.

Washing machine leaking water

If water is pooled at the front or back of your Kenmore washer dryer combo, the hot and cold water supply lines and the drain line could be poorly connected, blocked, or need replacement.

If it's a front-loading washer dryer combo, the door seal might have failed. A clogged water pump filter can cause leakage, or the water pump itself could have failing seals and need to be replaced.

Improper draining

If your Kenmore washer dryer combo won't drain, it could be as minor as a kinked or clogged drain hose. But more serious problems could be at hand, including a faulty lid switch, water level control, drain pump, or drive belt.

Washing machine not spinning

When a Kenmore washer dryer combo won't spin, the problem could be simple such as an overloaded drum or an improper load balance. Poor draining (see previous) can also prevent the spin cycle from initiating.

The washer dryer combo could also have failed parts, such as the lid switch, a failed motor or spin solenoid, or a frayed or broken belt.

Washing machine not filling with water

If your inlet lines are receiving water and have not become kinked, there could be a clogged inlet screen on one of the hoses. Barring those problems, your Kenmore washer dryer combo could be in need of a new inlet valve, lid switch, pressure switch, temperature selector, or even an electronic control board.

Annual washing machine maintenance

Scheduling regular appliance service ensures your Kenmore washer dryer combo will work efficiently and effectively. It can also prevent costly, unexpected repairs over time and extend the life of your appliance.

When you request the Washer dryer combo and Dryer Clean & Maintain package, your Sears Home Services technician will inspect both appliances for proper functioning, wear and tear, excess noise, and water and gas leaks, while also cleaning internal components.
