Kenmore Elite 11028062800 washer Parts

Yes. Your Kenmore Elite washer model 11028062800 uses a built-in filtering system (a force filter wash/rinse system) that filters the wash and rinse water as it recirculates; it traps sand and dirt and flushes that debris down the drain rather than storing it in a removable lint filter. See the 11028062800 owner's manual for the exact care and cleaning guidance for your washer.

This washer is designed to keep debris from redepositing on clothes by filtering water during operation, not by using a user-cleanable lint trap.

• There is no routine, pull-out lint filter to remove and rinse like some washers have.
• Debris is carried out with the drain water during normal draining.
• If you are chasing a drain problem, the most common restriction is in the drain path (hose, pump, or standpipe).

If your washer is slow to drain, leaves water in the tub, or stops mid-cycle, focus on the drain components.

• Verify the drain hose is not kinked, crushed, or pushed too far down the standpipe.
• Check the standpipe or laundry tub for a clog.
• Listen for the drain pump running; a loud hum with little water movement points to a blockage.
• Inspect for small items (coins, socks) that can obstruct the pump.

Knowing whether your washer has a removable filter prevents unnecessary disassembly. On model 11028062800, most “filter” complaints are really drain-flow or load-balance issues, so checking the drain path and pump saves time and avoids repeat problems.

To hard reset a Kenmore Elite washer model 11028062800, we power the washer off, fully remove power for a short time, then restore power and restart a cycle. This clears many temporary control glitches and gets the washer responding again; see the reset and control steps in the 11028062800 owner's manual.

• Press POWER to turn the washer off.
• Unplug the washer (or switch the breaker off).
• Wait 1 minute.
• Plug the washer back in (or turn the breaker on).
• Press POWER, select a cycle, then press START.

The control on this model supports canceling and draining, which often restores normal operation.

• Press STOP twice to cancel the cycle (the washer drains).
• Press POWER.
• Re-select the cycle and press START.

A true “hard reset” is simply removing power so the electronic control can reboot. If the washer is actually failing to fill, drain, or lock the lid, a reset may only help briefly; the underlying issue still needs troubleshooting.

If the washer will not start because the lid will not lock, the lid lock assembly is a common fix on this model; match symptoms and wiring before replacing parts like the washer lid lock WPW10619844.

Yes. Kenmore Elite is Kenmore’s higher-end line, and the Kenmore Elite washer model 11028062800 is built and warrantied like a premium machine, with durability-focused components (such as a stainless steel drum and plastic tub) and feature-driven cycle options described in the 11028062800 owner's manual.

High end in laundry usually comes down to build quality, long-term reliability features, and better wash performance, not just styling.

• More robust core components (drum, tub, drive system)
• More cycle and option flexibility for different fabric loads
• Better control and monitoring (status lights and cycle feedback)
• Designed for years of normal household use when installed and maintained correctly

The warranty language for this Kenmore Elite washer supports its premium positioning.

Even a high-end washer can seem underwhelming if setup or maintenance is off. We see these issues most often:

• Using non-HE detergent or too much detergent (causes residue and poor rinsing)
• Drain hose not secured or installed correctly (can affect draining and performance)
• Washer not level (can increase vibration and out-of-balance behavior)
• Worn suspension parts leading to shaking (common wear item over time)

If your washer is vibrating or going out of balance, the washer suspension W10820048 is one of the key parts that controls tub movement.

Knowing Kenmore Elite is a higher-end line helps you decide whether to repair or replace. With premium components and long warranty coverage on major tub parts, repairs like a pump, lid lock, or suspension replacement often make sense when the rest of the washer is in good condition.

On the Kenmore Elite washer model 11028062800, F21 means a long drain condition: the washer is taking too long to pump water out. The most common causes are a clog in the drain path, excess suds, or a failing drain pump.

• Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the code, then try DRAIN/SPIN.
• Reduce suds: use HE detergent only and use less if you see lots of foam (the washer can also show a suds-related code when detergent is excessive).
• Check the drain hose for kinks, crushing, or an extension that is too long.
• Confirm the standpipe or laundry tub is draining freely (a slow household drain can mimic a washer drain problem).
• If the load is very small or very bulky, redistribute and retry; heavy suds and poor water flow can happen with certain loads.

If you’ve confirmed the drain hose and household drain are clear and F21 returns, the drain pump is the next most common repair. For this model, the correct replacement is the water pump W10536347.

A long-drain condition can leave water in the tub, prevent high-speed spin, and repeatedly stop the cycle. Fixing the drain issue quickly helps protect clothing, reduces odor risk, and restores normal cycle times.

Use the troubleshooting and error-code section in the 11028062800 owner’s manual to match symptoms (long drain, suds, no-drain) to the right checks and reset steps.

A Kenmore washer typically lasts 10 to 15 years. For the Kenmore Elite 11028062800, lifespan depends most on load size, how often it runs, and routine care steps like hose replacement and periodic cleaning listed in the 11028062800 owner's manual.

Most washers land in the same general range, but real-world life varies based on use and maintenance.

• Light use (1 to 3 loads/week): often reaches the high end of the range
• Average use (4 to 7 loads/week): commonly 10 to 15 years
• Heavy use (multiple loads/day): wear shows up sooner
• Overloading: shortens life of the drive system, suspension, and tub bearings
• Poor drainage or slow draining: strains the drain pump and can leave residue behind

The manual for this washer calls out routine care items that directly affect longevity.

• Replace aging fill hoses; consider a proactive swap if hoses are bulging, stiff, or seeping (see “Water inlet hoses” in the manual)
• Clean the washer periodically to reduce odor, residue, and buildup
• Use the correct detergent amount (too much can cause excess suds and residue)
• Keep the washer level to reduce vibration and suspension wear
• Address unusual noises early (grinding, roaring, or loud rumbling can point to bearing or drive issues)

Knowing the typical 10 to 15 year life expectancy helps you decide when a repair is worth it. If your 11028062800 is near the end of that range and needs a major repair (bearing/shaft, motor drive, or tub work), comparing repair cost to replacement value usually leads to a clearer decision.

Your Kenmore Elite washer’s model number is printed on the appliance’s identification label. On model 11028062800, we typically see the label on the back of the control panel, under the lid opening, or on the cabinet frame near the bottom edge. Confirm the exact number using the 11028062800 owner's manual.

Check these common spots first (use a flashlight and look for a white or silver sticker/plate):

• Back of the control console (rear of the control panel)
• Under the lid, around the lid opening or top rim
• Left or right side of the main cabinet near the bottom front edge
• Inside the cabinet opening near the tub (visible with the lid open)

For this Kenmore Elite Oasis series, the model format commonly starts with 110 and continues with more digits.

Model numbers are easy to confuse with serial numbers or partial series numbers. Use these checks:

• Write down the full model number exactly as shown (all digits, no spaces)
• Match the full number, not just the first three digits (for example, not just “110”)
• If the label shows a color code or suffix, record that too
• Use the model number when ordering parts like a lid lock, drain pump, or water inlet valve

The correct model number ensures we match the right Kenmore parts and diagrams for your washer, especially for fit-critical items like the washer lid lock WPW10619844 and the control-related components.
