Kenmore 11029622800 washer Parts

Yes, Kenmore top load washer model 11029622800 uses a drain pump system that can trap debris, but it typically does not have a quick-access, front clean-out filter like many front-load washers. We recommend checking the drain path and pump area when you have slow draining or leftover water; see the 11029622800 owner's manual for model-specific care guidance.

Where “filtering” happens on this washer

On this style of Kenmore top-load washer, lint and small items are usually managed by the wash action and the drain pump rather than a removable filter cartridge.

Common places debris collects:

• The drain pump inlet or pump housing
• The drain hose (especially at bends or where it enters the standpipe)
• The tub area if a small item slips between the basket and tub
• The lid switch area if the washer stops mid-cycle (not a filter issue)

What to check if it will not drain or drains slowly

Before opening anything, unplug the washer.

• Confirm the drain hose is not kinked or crushed
• Make sure the standpipe height and hose insertion are correct (to prevent siphoning)
• Listen for the pump running during drain; a loud hum with no draining points to a blockage
• Check for coins, socks, or debris in the pump
• If the pump is leaking or seized, replace the pump

If you need the replacement pump for this model, use the washer drain pump WP3363394.

Quick comparison: top-load vs front-load “filters”

Washer type	Typical filter access	What you usually service
Top-load (like 11029622800)	No front clean-out filter	Pump, hose, tub-to-pump path
Front-load	Front clean-out trap/filter	Filter trap and pump area

Why it matters

A blocked drain path can cause standing water, poor spin performance, and odors. Keeping the drain hose routed correctly and the pump clear helps the washer drain at full flow and reduces repeat clogs.

Your washer’s model number is printed on the appliance ID label. On Kenmore top-load washers like model 11029622800, the label is usually under the lid opening or on the back of the cabinet; match the full model number exactly when ordering parts or using the 11029622800 owner's manual.

Where to look on a washer ID label

Check these common label locations first:

• Under the lid, around the tub opening (top-load washers)
• On the underside of the lid itself
• On the back panel of the washer cabinet
• Along the control console area (rear edge or inside the console on some designs)
• Near the base frame behind the front panel (less common)

What to write down (and why)

Record the model number and serial number exactly as shown. For Kenmore models, the model number is typically a long numeric string (example: 11029622800). One missing digit can point you to the wrong diagrams and parts.

Quick ID checklist

• Copy the full model number (all digits/letters)
• Copy the serial number (helps with production variations)
• Take a clear photo of the label for reference

How the model number helps you pick the right parts

Once you have the model number, you can confirm fitment for common repair parts such as a lid switch, drain pump, or motor coupling.

What you’re doing	Why the model number matters
Ordering replacement parts	Ensures the part matches your exact design revision
Using diagrams	Shows the correct cabinet, tub, and drive system layout
Troubleshooting symptoms	Points you to the right procedures and specs

Why it matters

Kenmore washer platforms can look identical across multiple model numbers, but use different timers, switches, or drive components. Using the exact model number prevents wrong-part returns and speeds up repairs.

For Kenmore washer model 11029622800, the most reliable “hard reset” is a simple power reset: unplug the washer (or switch the breaker off) for 5 minutes, then restore power and start a normal cycle. This clears many stuck control states without changing any settings.

Hard reset steps (safe, works for most issues)

• Turn the washer OFF.
• Unplug the power cord (or turn the circuit breaker OFF).
• Wait 5 minutes.
• Restore power.
• Lift and close the lid once (top-loaders) and select a Normal cycle.
• Press Start and confirm the washer fills, agitates, drains, and spins.

For model-specific control behavior and cycle-start steps, follow the 11029622800 owner's manual.

If the washer still will not start after a reset

These checks solve the most common “no start” complaints on this style of Kenmore top-load washer:

• Confirm the outlet has power (test with a lamp) and the breaker is not tripped.
• Make sure the lid closes firmly; a failed lid switch can prevent agitation and spin.
• Verify both water faucets are fully open and inlet hoses are not kinked.
• If the washer drains slowly or not at all, check for a clog at the pump or drain hose.
• If the motor runs but the basket does not move, inspect the drive coupling.

Common parts related to “won’t run” symptoms

Symptom	Likely area	Example part for this model
No spin/agitate with lid closed	Lid safety circuit	Washer lid switch assembly WP8318084
Hums, won’t move, or intermittent drive	Motor-to-transmission connection	Coupling 285753A
Won’t drain or drains poorly	Drain system	Washer drain pump WP3363394

Why it matters

A power reset clears temporary control glitches, but it will not fix a mechanical failure (like a worn coupling) or a safety interlock problem (like a bad lid switch). Using the right next check prevents repeat shutdowns and protects the drive system.

A Kenmore washer typically lasts 10 to 15 years with normal household use and basic maintenance. For Kenmore model 11029622800, good installation, avoiding overloads, and routine cleaning help you reach the upper end of that range; heavy use shortens it.

What affects washer lifespan most

• Load size and frequency: frequent heavy loads wear the drive system faster.
• Installation and leveling: an unlevel washer vibrates, stresses the suspension, and can “walk”.
• Water quality and temperature: hard water and very hot washes can accelerate buildup and seal wear.
• Drain performance: slow draining strains the pump and can leave residue behind.
• Small parts wearing out first: inexpensive wear items often fail long before the washer is “done”.

Common wear items vs. bigger repairs

If your washer is otherwise in good shape, replacing a wear part often restores performance.

Symptom	Common cause	Example part for 11029622800
Agitator moves poorly or “ratchets”	Worn agitator dogs	Agitator dog 80040
Won’t spin or agitates inconsistently	Lid switch not sensing closed lid	Washer lid switch assembly WP8318084
Won’t drain or drains slowly	Clogged or failing pump	Washer drain pump WP3363394
Loud banging, off-balance movement	Suspension issues or leveling	Installation guide

Maintenance that extends life (practical checklist)

• Keep loads balanced; mix large and small items.
• Use the right amount of detergent; too much causes residue and odors.
• Periodically run a cleaning cycle (or an empty hot cycle if your model uses a dial timer).
• Check inlet hoses for bulges or leaks; replace if worn.
• Confirm the washer sits on a level, sturdy floor and does not rock.

Why it matters

Most “washer failures” are really a few high-wear components (lid switch, drain pump, agitator drive parts) reaching end-of-life. Catching symptoms early helps you avoid secondary damage to the basket drive, motor, or gear case.
