Kenmore Repair in Denver — Washer, Dryer, Fridge & Range
Kenmore is a badge engineered brand — the first three digits of your model number tell me which OEM built your machine. Decoded on the call — arriving with the right parts.
Kenmore repair in Denver, in one paragraph
Victor is EPA 608 Universal Certified, repairing Kenmore washers, dryers, refrigerators, and ranges across Denver Metro. Kenmore is a Sears badge built by other manufacturers, so identifying the OEM is the whole game: 110 means Whirlpool, 795 means LG, 363 means GE. Once that's established, parts and procedures match the parent brand exactly. Typical repair $120–$380, $75 visit fee waived with repair, 1-year warranty.
Models Serviced
Pull your model tag and read the first three digits. That is the OEM — and it determines parts, procedures, and pricing.
110.* — Whirlpool
The biggest slice of Kenmore. Direct-drive top-load washers, 29-inch dryers, side-by-side fridges, and Elite top-mount units. Same parts as Whirlpool, Maytag, and Amana.
795.* — LG
Most Kenmore Elite French Door fridges from 2010 onward, front-load washer/dryer pairs, and the smart-feature flagship models. Inverter linear compressors and LG control boards.
363.* — GE
Older Kenmore top-mount fridges and some dishwasher lines from the 1990s and 2000s. Shares the GE icemaker harness and defrost timer architecture.
253.* — Frigidaire/Electrolux
A smaller portion of Kenmore refrigerators and freezers. Same defrost system weaknesses as the FFTR Frigidaire line.
587.* — Whirlpool dishwashers
Kenmore dishwashers built on the Whirlpool tall-tub platform. Same wash arm, drain pump, and door latch parts as Whirlpool and KitchenAid dishwashers.
665.* — Whirlpool dishwashers (later)
Late-model Kenmore dishwashers, still Whirlpool underneath. Common failures: drain pump, soap dispenser solenoid, door latch microswitch.
Most common failures
Common parts replaced on Kenmore calls, sorted by frequency.
Ice maker assembly (795 LG-built)
Kenmore Elite 795 French Door fridges quit making ice when the ice maker motor or thermistor fails. Drop-in replacement, no plumbing work needed.
Lid switch on 110 top-loaders
Whirlpool-built Kenmore top-load washers refuse to spin when the lid switch breaks. It is the single most common Kenmore repair. Part is under $30.
Dryer heating element
Both 110 and 795 dryers eventually burn out the heating coil. Symptoms: drum turns, clothes stay cold. The coil is tested and whole element assembly replaced.
Drive coupler (110 direct-drive washer)
A grinding washer that fills and drains but barely agitates has a sheared drive coupler. Cheap part, well-known repair on Whirlpool-built Kenmore machines.
Dishwasher drain pump (587/665)
Standing water in the tub after the cycle. Drain pump motors on Kenmore Whirlpool-built dishwashers seize after years of food debris.
Linear compressor (795 Elite fridge)
The known weakness of LG-built Kenmore French Door units. If your 795 fridge stopped cooling entirely, it is usually the compressor. Diagnosed, quoted, and repair-vs-replace math explained honestly.

Because Kenmore parts come from the OEM, pricing is predictable. Firm quote before any work starts.
