Kenmore 1105072011 washer Parts

To identify your Kenmore washer, we recommend finding the model and serial tag on your specific unit and matching it to model 1105072011. On Kenmore top-load washers like 1105072011, the tag is commonly on the back of the control panel or on the cabinet.

Check these common label locations first:

• Back of the control panel (rear of the console)
• Along the cabinet rim under the lid (near the opening)
• On the side of the main cabinet near the bottom edge
• On the rear panel of the washer

If you recently moved the washer, also confirm the unit is installed upright and accessible as shown in the 1105072011 installation guide.

We suggest recording these details exactly as printed:

• Full model number (example: 1105072011)
• Serial number
• Electrical rating information (if shown)
• Any additional type or production codes

Kenmore model numbers can look similar across different washer platforms. Using the exact model number helps us match the correct parts (like a lid lock, drain pump, or drive belt) and avoid ordering a part that will not fit.

A Kenmore washer typically lasts 10 to 15 years with normal household use. For your Kenmore 1105072011 washer, good installation, correct loading, and routine cleaning (as outlined in the 1105072011 installation instructions) help you reach the upper end of that range.

A washer’s service life is usually determined by wear on moving parts, water-related corrosion, and how hard the machine is worked.

• Load size and frequency: frequent heavy loads shorten life faster than moderate, balanced loads
• Leveling and vibration control: an unlevel washer stresses the suspension and drive system
• Water quality: hard water can accelerate buildup and valve wear
• Drain performance: slow draining strains the pump and can leave residue behind
• Preventive maintenance: keeping the tub, hoses, and seals clean reduces premature failures

We recommend these habits for Kenmore top-load washers like model 1105072011:

• Keep loads evenly distributed to reduce out-of-balance spinning
• Avoid chronic overloading (it strains the drive belt, motor, and gear case)
• Use the correct amount of detergent; excess suds can cause residue and odors
• Inspect fill hoses for bulges or cracking and replace on schedule
• Address draining issues early; a struggling pump often gets worse quickly

Knowing the typical 10 to 15-year lifespan helps you decide when a repair is worth it. If your washer is near or past that window, replacing a major component (like a pump or drive system) may be a bigger decision than replacing a smaller wear part.

Kenmore is a brand name, so replacement parts for Kenmore washer model 1105072011 are typically manufactured by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) that built the washer for Kenmore. In practice, that often means you’ll see parts labeled from major manufacturers such as Whirlpool, and the correct match is based on your exact model number.

The most reliable way is to match parts by model number and the part’s OEM identifier, not by the Kenmore name on the lid.

• Use the model number 1105072011 when searching parts and diagrams.
• Compare the part ID/part number on the old part to the replacement listing.
• Expect many compatible parts to cross to Whirlpool-style numbering.
• Use diagrams to confirm fit and mounting points before ordering.
• Follow safety and access steps in the 1105072011 installation guide.

Many parts listed for this Kenmore washer are Whirlpool-manufactured components or Whirlpool-numbered replacements.

For repairs, the key is compatibility with 1105072011, not the logo on the box. For example, if you’re fixing a no-drain issue, selecting the correct drain pump for this model matters more than who stamped the label.

• Drain problems often point to the pump, hoses, or a blockage.
• A compatible replacement example is the washer drain pump assembly WPW10276397.
• Always verify connectors, ports, and mounting style match your original part.

Using the correct OEM-compatible part helps ensure proper fit, correct electrical connections, and reliable washer performance after the repair.

Yes. Kenmore top-load washer model 1105072011 uses a drain-pump clean-out style filter that catches lint and small items before they reach the drain pump; it’s serviced during draining problems or routine maintenance. For safety steps and access guidance, use the 1105072011 installation instructions.

Many top-load washers do not have a removable lint screen like a dryer. On the 1105072011, the “filter” customers usually mean is the drain pump clean-out filter.

Common signs it needs cleaning:

• Washer drains slowly or not at all
• You find coins, hair pins, or debris in the wash basket after cycles
• You hear a rattling or grinding sound during drain
• Water remains in the tub at the end of the cycle

On most Kenmore top-load designs like this, the clean-out is part of the drain pump area near the bottom of the cabinet. Cleaning usually involves removing the pump access area, placing towels or a shallow pan, and carefully opening the clean-out to remove debris.

Before you start:

• Unplug the washer (or switch off the breaker)
• Turn off both water supply valves
• Have towels and a shallow pan ready
• Expect some water to spill when the clean-out is opened

If the clean-out cap is damaged, leaking, or won’t seal after cleaning, the filter component may need replacement.

A clogged pump filter can cause no-drain symptoms, standing water, odors, and extra strain on the drain pump. Cleaning it periodically helps protect the pump and keeps drain performance consistent.

For the Kenmore washer model 1105072011, the main parts include the wash basket and outer tub, the agitator system, the drive system (motor, belt, pulleys, gear case), the water fill system (inlet valve and hoses), and the drain system (pump and drain hose). For diagrams and component locations, use the 1105072011 installation guide.

A washing machine is easiest to understand as a few connected systems:

• Wash system: basket and outer tub hold clothes and water; the agitator moves the load.
• Drive system: motor, belt, pulleys, and gear case create agitation and spin.
• Fill system: inlet valve and fill hoses bring in hot and cold water.
• Drain system: drain pump and drain hose remove water.
• Controls and safety: control board/timer functions and lid lock keep operation safe.

These are common, serviceable components we see on this model’s parts list:

• Washer drain pump assembly WPW10276397 (moves water out during drain/spin)
• Washer water inlet valve assembly WPW10683603 (controls water entering the tub)
• Washer drive belt WPW10006384 (transfers motor power to the drive pulley)
• Washer lid lock assembly W10404050 (helps prevent spinning with the lid open)
• Agitator 285727 and agitator dogs (help move clothes through the wash water)

Knowing which system is involved helps you troubleshoot faster and order the right Kenmore replacement part the first time, especially for common symptoms like “won’t drain,” “won’t spin,” or “won’t fill.”
