A familiar name built by several manufacturers

Kenmore has never run its own factories. Sears contracted other manufacturers to build appliances under the Kenmore name, so one Kenmore refrigerator may share its design with a Whirlpool model while another Kenmore washer is built on an LG or Frigidaire platform. For repair, that matters. The three digits before the period in the model number tell us who made the machine, which points us to the right wiring diagrams, parts and known weak spots. Have the full model number ready when you call. It is usually on a sticker inside the door, lid or kickplate, and it helps us arrive prepared.

The Kenmore problems we see most

A refrigerator that stops cooling usually has dusty condenser coils, a failed evaporator fan, or a defrost problem that lets ice choke the coils behind the freezer panel. A leaking washer often points to a torn front-load door seal, a cracked drain pump or a worn hose. When a dryer runs but stays cold, the usual culprit is a blown thermal fuse, often caused by a clogged vent, or a burned-out heating element or gas igniter. Dishwashers that leave food behind tend to have a packed filter or blocked spray arms. An oven that won't heat typically needs a new bake element or igniter.

Keeping your Kenmore running in Los Angeles

Salt air near the coast speeds up corrosion on condenser coils and electrical connections, so vacuum your refrigerator coils at least twice a year if you live close to the beach. Much of Los Angeles has hard water, which builds scale inside dishwashers and washers. Clean the dishwasher filter monthly, keep the rinse aid topped up, and run an empty hot cycle with a descaler now and then. Leave a front-load washer door open between loads so the gasket can dry. Many older homes have long, winding dryer vent runs, so have the full duct cleaned yearly, not just the lint screen.

Our freezer stopped working recently. When I called West Appliance Service they came to my home to assess the problem within 1 hour of calling. They were able to come back the next day to complete the repairs once they knew what parts they needed. The service was quick, smooth, and well done. We had a great experience working with Ivan and highly recommend anyone to use their services. We will definitely be a repeat customer if our appliances need repair.
