Kenmore model numbers tell you the real maker

Older washer problems

Why older Kenmore washers start leaking

Original rubber hoses

Hoses harden and crack after years. A burst hose sprays water until the faucet is shut.

Worn inlet valve

Old valves may not shut off fully, overfilling the tub.

Tub seal and bearings

On older top-loaders, a worn seal leaks during spin.

Drain pump

Pumps crack or loosen and leak while draining.

Rusted parts

Rust on the cabinet or tub can mean water has been leaking for a while.

Hard-to-find parts

Some older parts are harder to find, so repairs can take longer.

Garages, basements and rentals

Where older Kenmore leaks hide

Older washers often end up in places people do not check every day: the garage, a basement corner, or a rental property.

Garage laundry

Water runs across the slab and under the door into the house. Drywall at the base of the shared wall soaks it up. We check the wall and the room on the other side.

Basement laundry

In daylight basements, a leak can soak carpet in the next room or reach a finished basement space.

Rental homes

Tenants may not notice slow drips. Landlords call us when a tenant reports soft flooring or a musty smell. We document everything for both sides.

Repair or replace the washer?

That is a question for your appliance tech. Many people replace a very old washer after a leak. Either way, the water damage should be dried right away with structural drying.

FAQs

Kenmore washer leak questions

Who makes Kenmore washers?

Kenmore products were made by other manufacturers. The first three digits of the model number usually tell you: 110 often means Whirlpool, 796 means LG, and 417 means Electrolux or Frigidaire.

How old is my Kenmore washer?

The serial number on the tag can show the year it was built. Online lookup tools and appliance techs can help decode it.

Why is my old Kenmore suddenly leaking?

Older hoses, valves, seals and pumps wear out. Rubber hoses in particular get brittle and can split without warning.

Should I repair or replace an old washer after a leak?

Ask an appliance technician. Many people replace very old washers after a leak. Either way, dry the water damage right away.

Is the water dangerous?

Clean fill water is not. Drain water is gray water, so areas it soaked should be cleaned and treated.

Do you repair Kenmore washers?

No. We clean up and repair water damage. An appliance repair company fixes or replaces the washer.
