Kenmore Repair in Los Angeles
Same-day repair for every Kenmore refrigerator, washer, dryer, and dishwasher across Greater Los Angeles.
Sears may be gone, but the Kenmore appliances they sold are still running in homes all over Los Angeles. Millions of them. And here's what most people don't realize: Kenmore never actually manufactured anything. Every Kenmore washer, dryer, and refrigerator was built by Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, or Frigidaire — which means parts are still widely available, and any technician who works on those brands can fix your Kenmore.
Arctic Cool Refrigeration has been repairing Kenmore appliances across LA for over 40 years — long before Sears closed its doors. We know the model number cross-references, we stock the right parts, and we fix most Kenmore issues in a single same-day visit. Don't let anyone tell you your Kenmore is "too old to fix" or "parts aren't available." That's almost never true.
Kenmore Appliances We Service
- Refrigerators — top-freezer, bottom-freezer, side-by-side, and French door models (110 series = Whirlpool, 795 = LG, 596 = Samsung)
- Top-Load Washers — standard and HE models including Kenmore Elite with Steam (110 series = Whirlpool, 796 = LG)
- Front-Load Washers — Kenmore and Kenmore Elite front-loaders (most are LG or Whirlpool platforms)
- Dryers — electric and gas models including Kenmore Elite with Steam Refresh
- Dishwashers — built-in models with multiple wash levels and stainless steel tubs
- Ranges & Ovens — freestanding gas and electric ranges (most are Frigidaire platforms)
Common Kenmore Problems We Fix
Refrigerator Not Cooling
Dirty condenser coils, failed evaporator fan, or compressor issues. On LG-made Kenmore fridges (795 series), the linear compressor is a known weak point.
Washer Won't Agitate
Failed motor coupling (Whirlpool-made models) or worn agitator dogs. A common, inexpensive fix on Kenmore top-loaders that takes under an hour.
Dryer Not Heating
Blown thermal fuse, failed heating element, or bad gas valve solenoids. Kenmore dryer parts are identical to their manufacturer counterparts — always in stock.
Washer Leaking
Bad door boot seal on front-loaders, worn tub seal on top-loaders, or cracked inlet hoses. We find the source and fix it before floor damage occurs.
Dishwasher Not Cleaning
Clogged spray arms, worn wash motor, or failing water inlet valve. LA's hard water accelerates mineral buildup in Kenmore dishwashers.
Ice Maker Failure
Bad water inlet valve, frozen fill tube, or defective ice maker module. One of our most common Kenmore calls — we carry parts on every truck.
The Kenmore Model Number Secret
Here's how to figure out who actually made your Kenmore appliance — look at the first three digits of the model number:
- 110 — Whirlpool (most washers and dryers)
- 253 — Frigidaire (some refrigerators)
- 363 — GE (some dishwashers)
- 596 — Samsung (some refrigerators)
- 665 — Whirlpool (most dishwashers)
- 790 — Electrolux/Frigidaire (some ranges)
- 795 — LG (French door refrigerators)
- 796 — LG (some washers)
This matters because it tells us exactly which parts to source and what failure patterns to expect. Our technicians know these cross-references by heart.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Kenmore repair cost in Los Angeles?
Kenmore repair typically costs between $125 and $550. Belt, lid switch, or pump replacement runs $125 to $250. Dryer heating element repair is $150 to $300. Refrigerator compressor work ranges from $350 to $550. Parts are widely available. We provide a written estimate before starting work.
Can you still get parts for Kenmore appliances?
Yes. Kenmore appliances were always built by other manufacturers — Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, Frigidaire. The first three digits of your model number identify the actual maker, and we cross-reference to source the right part. We get Kenmore parts daily with no issues.
Who actually makes Kenmore appliances?
Model numbers starting with 110 = Whirlpool, 253 = Frigidaire, 795 = LG, 596 = Samsung. This means a Kenmore washer starting with 110 uses identical Whirlpool internal components. Our technicians know these cross-references, which is why we source parts fast.
Is my old Kenmore refrigerator worth repairing?
Many older Kenmore refrigerators are built on proven Whirlpool or LG platforms with cheap, available parts. If the repair is under $300 and the unit is less than 15 years old, it almost always makes sense. We'll give you the honest math.
My Kenmore washer fills but won't agitate. What's wrong?
On Kenmore top-loaders (110 series), this is usually a failed motor coupling — an inexpensive part that protects the motor and transmission. Takes about 45 minutes to replace. Could also be worn agitator dogs or a failed shift actuator. Call us at (800) 685-5590.
