FAQs

Are Kenmore and Whirlpool washer parts the same? ›

The Kenmore name represents many manufacturers. When you purchased your Kenmore appliance, you've actually purchased a Whirlpool, Frigidaire, Maytag, or GE appliance. Therefore, the appliance part you purchase will be from one of those manufacturers.

Whirlpool is not the only manufacturer of Kenmore products. Kenmore also outsources its products to different OEM (original equipment manufacturer) companies, such as LG, Daewoo Electronics, Panasonic, and others.

Typically a washing machine lasts 10-13 years. Top-loading washers typically last a few years longer than their front-loading brethren. If you use a stacked washer/dryer combo, you may have to replace both if one starts acting up.

U-FIX-IT offers Kenmore compatible parts for refrigerators, dishwashers, stoves, and other kitchen appliances.

Kenmore model numbers typically include a three-digit prefix followed by a dot and a series of numbers that represent the specific appliance model. The prefix can help identify the manufacturer of the appliance.

It's an unusual arrangement, but not unheard of: Car companies do it all the time. The Kenmore, Maytag, and Whirlpool that are the subject of this article were all designed by Whirlpool Corporation and built in the same factory–in Clyde, Ohio to be specific.

Whirlpool, for instance, was one of the major manufacturers for Kenmore. Other big names like LG, Electrolux, and GE have also played significant roles. So, if you've ever seen resemblances between a Kenmore appliance and another brand, it wasn't mere coincidence!

Even so, Kenmore products are still being manufactured by its various partners and sold at both big-box retailers like Walmart and hardware stores like Home Depot.

In addition to quality, Kenmore is synonymous with trust and reliability. They offer long warranties and efficient customer service through their network of authorized servicers. Satisfaction is guaranteed or your money back.

Locate the serial number on a Kenmore washer made by Whirlpool. The second letter of the serial number identifies the year the machine was manufactured. For instance, "L" represents 2001, "M" means 2002 and, continuing through the alphabet, "Y" means 2009.

Is Kenmore washer made by LG? ›

Washers and Dryers: Nearly all new top-load Kenmore washers and matching dryers are made by Whirlpool Corp. Front-load machines and stacking dryers are made by LG. Refrigerators: Here's where it gets tricky. Most top-freezer Kenmore fridges are made by Electrolux, and are similar to Frigidaire models.

If you spent $650 on your washer seven years ago and you're doing seven loads per week (a lot of wear and tear), a new washer purchase makes sense. But if the machine is 3 years old and you spent $1,000 for it, a repair may be the better financial choice.

A five- or seven-year-old washing machine with five years of life left in it should possibly be repaired. On the other hand, a 14-year old machine with about six years left is likely to lead to more frequent breakdowns and requirements for maintenance and these can add up.

The average life expectancy of a new washing machine is 11 years. Consumer Reports recommends replacing any appliance that's more than eight years old, unless it's a high-end model and has a particular appeal to you.
