Kenmore 11026132413 washer Parts

Kenmore washer model 11026132413 is a top-loading high efficiency, low-water washer; its exact tub capacity in cubic feet is listed in the product specifications section of the 11026132413 owner's manual.

How to find the capacity in the manual

Look for a section labeled Specifications, Dimensions and capacity, or Product data. Capacity is typically shown as “cu. ft.”.

• Open the specs section first (often near the front or back)
• Check for “Capacity” or “Washer capacity”
• If you see multiple capacities, use the one labeled washer (not basket volume for shipping)
• Match the model number exactly: 11026132413
• If the manual lists a model family, use the entry that matches your full model number

Typical capacity range for this Kenmore washer style

This model family is a high efficiency top-load design. Most washers in this category commonly fall in this range:

Washer type	Typical capacity range
HE top-load, low-water (impeller/washplate)	3.5 to 4.8 cu. ft.
Traditional deep-fill agitator top-load	3.0 to 4.0 cu. ft.

Why it matters

Capacity affects how much laundry you can wash per load and how you should load the basket. Overloading can reduce cleaning performance and contribute to out-of-balance spinning, while underloading can waste water and energy.

To hard reset your Kenmore washer model 11026132413, we recommend a full power-down reset: unplug the washer and let it sit long enough for the control to fully shut down, then restore power and restart a cycle. This clears many control glitches and communication errors.

Hard reset steps (power-down reset)

• Press Start/Pause/Unlock Lid once to stop the cycle.
• Unplug the washer (or switch off the breaker).
• Wait 5 minutes so the washer can completely power down.
• Plug the washer back in (or turn the breaker on).
• Select a cycle and touch and hold Start/Pause/Unlock Lid to restart.

For button behavior, cycle status lights, and lid lock details, follow the steps in the 11026132413 owner's manual.

If an error code is showing

Many Kenmore top-load models will let you clear a displayed F## code by stopping the cycle, then restarting.

• Touch Start/Pause/Unlock Lid once to clear the code.
• Touch Start/Pause/Unlock Lid again to restart.
• If the code returns right away, the issue is usually not a “reset” problem; it points to a component or control fault.

Quick guide: what the reset can and cannot fix

Situation	Reset helps?	What to do next
Random freeze, lights stuck, cycle won’t start	Often	Do the 5-minute power-down reset
Communication-type errors (UI/ACU)	Often	Power-down reset, then retry cycle
Lid won’t lock/unlock due to items/obstructions	Sometimes	Remove items near lid, then retry
Repeating F-type error codes	Rarely	Troubleshoot the specific code in the manual

When a “reset” is not enough (common causes)

• Lid not closing cleanly or something is under the lid
• Load is off-balance, causing repeated stops during spin
• Drain problem (water not pumping out) that prevents spin
• Control or lid lock problem that returns immediately after reset

If the washer will not lock or unlock reliably, a failed lid lock can cause repeated interruptions; the model uses a lid lock system like the washer lid lock assembly W10810403.

Why it matters

A proper hard reset fully discharges the control so it can reinitialize. That is especially important after a power interruption or when the washer shows a communication error and needs a complete shutdown before it will run normally.

Your Kenmore washer model number is printed on the appliance’s model and serial tag; on Kenmore top-load washers like model 11026132413, it’s most often found under the lid opening or on the back of the cabinet. Once you have the full model number, we can match the correct Kenmore washer parts and diagrams.

Where to look on Kenmore washers

Check these common locations first:

• Under the lid, around the tub opening (top-load models)
• On the back panel of the washer cabinet
• Along the rear edge of the control console area
• Inside the lid area near the hinge (varies by design)

For model-specific labeling and documentation, use the 11026132413 owner's manual.

What the model number looks like (and why it matters)

Kenmore washer model numbers are typically a long numeric string; many start with 110. Using the exact model number helps us avoid ordering a similar-looking part that will not fit (for example, a lid lock or drain pump that uses different connectors).

Quick ID checklist

• Write the model number exactly as shown (include all digits)
• Record the serial number too (helps with production variations)
• Take a clear photo of the tag before it fades
• Use the model number when searching parts like a lid lock, washplate, or water valve

Common examples (format guide)

What you see on the tag	What it means	What to do
11026132413	Full Kenmore model number	Use it to look up diagrams and parts
110.26132413	Same model with a dot	Enter without the dot if needed
Serial number (letters/numbers)	Production identifier	Keep for reference when ordering

Why it matters

Kenmore washers share many designs across model families; the exact model number ensures the right fit for key components such as the washer lid lock assembly W10810403 or washer drain pump W10876600.

A Kenmore washer typically lasts 10 to 15 years with normal household use. For Kenmore model 11026132413 (a top-loading high efficiency, low-water washer), using HE detergent, avoiding overloads, and fixing small issues early helps you reach the longer end of that range; see the 11026132413 use and care guide.

What affects lifespan the most

• Load size and balance: frequent overloading or unbalanced loads increases wear on the drive and suspension.
• Detergent choice: use HE (high efficiency) detergent to reduce oversudsing and residue.
• Drain performance: slow draining strains the pump and can leave standing water.
• Water fill and temperature control: restricted inlet flow can cause longer cycles and extra stress.
• Vibration control: persistent shaking accelerates wear on dampers and the tub system.

Common wear items and what they usually cause

Symptom	Often related to	Example part for this model
Won’t start, lid won’t lock	Lid lock system	Washer lid lock assembly W10810403
Won’t drain or drains slowly	Drain pump or drain path	Washer drain pump W10876600
Excessive shaking or banging	Suspension/damping	Damper assembly W11130359
Poor agitation or weak wash action	Washplate or drive/clutch	Washer washplate W10752285

Why it matters

Knowing the typical 10 to 15 year lifespan helps you decide whether to repair or replace. If your 11026132413 is within that window, replacing a common failure part (like a lid lock, drain pump, or damper assembly) often restores reliable performance for years.

Quick habits that extend washer life

• Keep loads evenly distributed (mix large and small items).
• Use the right amount of HE detergent.
• Leave the lid open between loads to help the tub dry.
• Check pockets to prevent coins and debris from damaging the drain system.
• Address new noises, leaks, or vibration early before they cascade into bigger repairs.

The “Kenmore Elite Smartwash Quiet Pack 4” name is a marketing description, not a single universal model number. For Kenmore washers, the true model number is the 110.xxxxxxxxx format printed on the washer’s model and serial tag; confirm it against the 11026132413 owner’s manual format and your unit’s tag.

Where to find the model number on your washer

On most Kenmore top-load washers, the model and serial tag is typically located in one of these spots:

• Under the lid, around the lid opening (top rim)
• On the rear of the control console (behind the panel)
• On the back of the washer cabinet
• Inside the lid area near the hinge

How to confirm you have the right model

Use this quick checklist so you match the correct parts list and instructions:

• The model number should start with 110 for many Kenmore-built-by-Whirlpool washers
• Copy the full number exactly (all digits, no spaces)
• Match the model number on the tag to the model number shown on your parts page
• Use the manual to confirm the product family and features (high efficiency, low-water, top-load)

Model number examples (what “looks right”)

What you see	What it means	What to do
110.26132413	Same model as this parts list	Use Kenmore 11026132413 parts and instructions
110.26132410 / 110.26132411 / 110.26132412	Same series, different exact model	Use the exact matching model’s parts list
A different 110.xxxxxxxxx	Different washer configuration	Look up parts by that exact model number

Why it matters

Kenmore “Quiet Pack” packages can share similar styling across multiple model numbers, but parts like the lid lock, drive system, and washplate can vary. Using the exact model number helps ensure correct fit and avoids repeat repairs.
