Kenmore 11022352511 washer Parts

A Kenmore washer like model 11022352511 typically lasts 10 to 15 years with normal household use. How long it lasts depends most on how it’s used and maintained, including proper installation, avoiding chronic overloads, and following the detergent and cleaning guidance in the 11022352511 use & care manual.

What affects lifespan the most

• Load habits: frequent overloading or many bulky loads increases stress on the drive system and suspension
• Installation and leveling: an unlevel washer can vibrate more and wear components faster
• Routine cleaning: regular cleaning helps prevent odor and buildup inside the tub
• Water supply and hoses: replacing inlet hoses on schedule helps prevent leaks and water damage
• Timely repairs: addressing small issues early can prevent secondary damage

Detergent choice for this model

Your 11022352511 is a high-efficiency top-load washer designed to use HE detergent. The manual notes that using non-HE detergent can lead to longer cycle times, reduced rinsing performance, and over time can contribute to component malfunction and mold or mildew buildup.

Detergent type	What to expect	Best practice
HE detergent	Low-sudsing, intended for HE washers	Measure per detergent label
Non-HE detergent	Longer cycles and reduced rinsing performance	Avoid for this model

Typical lifespan by use level

Use pattern	What it looks like	Typical lifespan
Light	1 to 3 loads/week	12 to 15 years
Average	4 to 7 loads/week	10 to 13 years
Heavy	8+ loads/week or frequent bulky loads	8 to 11 years

How to help your 11022352511 last longer

• Keep loads evenly distributed; avoid single heavy items when possible
• Run the Clean Washer cycle as recommended and leave the lid open between loads
• Confirm the washer is installed and leveled correctly using the 11022352511 installation instructions
• Replace inlet hoses on the schedule noted in the manual

Why it matters

Good installation, correct HE detergent use, and routine cleaning reduce common wear drivers like vibration, poor rinsing performance, and internal buildup, helping your washer reach the upper end of its typical service life.

To unclog the drain hose on your Kenmore washer model 11022352511, unplug the washer, pull the drain hose from the standpipe or laundry tub, and flush the hose to clear lint or debris. Then reinstall it using the routing and depth limits in the 11022352511 installation instructions to help prevent repeat clogs.

Step-by-step: clear the clog safely

• Unplug the washer (avoid electrical shock around water).
• Turn off both water faucets.
• Pull the drain hose out of the standpipe or off the laundry tub.
• Place the hose end in a bucket or floor drain.
• Run hot tap water through the hose to push out lint and debris.
• If buildup is stubborn, soak the hose end in hot water for 20–30 minutes, then flush again.
• Reinstall the hose and secure it so it cannot slip out.

Reinstall it correctly (prevents siphoning and slow drains)

The 11022352511 installation guidance calls out key drain-hose limits that matter for draining performance.

Setup item	What to do	Why it matters
Hose depth in standpipe	Keep insertion to about 4.5 in (114 mm)	Helps prevent siphoning and slow drains
Standpipe height	Use a standpipe at least 39 in (990 mm) high	Supports proper pump-out
Hose condition	Avoid kinks, crushing, or sharp bends	Reduces clogging and restriction

When cleaning isn’t enough

If the hose is split, permanently kinked, or still drains slowly after flushing, replacement is usually the fastest fix. Use the exact model-compatible part washer drain hose W11244231.

Why it matters

A partially clogged drain hose can cause slow draining, wet loads after spin, odors, and intermittent “won’t drain” symptoms. Correct hose routing also reduces strain on the drain pump.

To hard reset your Kenmore washer model 11022352511, unplug it (or switch the breaker off) for 1 minute, then restore power. This clears many temporary control glitches without changing cycle selections or calibration. For control and safety details, see the 11022352511 use & care manual.

Quick reset steps (recommended)

• Press Start/Pause/Unlock Lid once to pause the cycle.
• Unplug the washer (or turn the breaker OFF).
• Wait 60 seconds.
• Restore power.
• Select a cycle and press Start/Pause/Unlock Lid.

If the washer is paused but the lid stays locked

On the 11022352511, the lid may not unlock right away; the unlock time can range from several seconds to several minutes depending on where the washer is in the cycle and whether the basket is still spinning.

• Wait until all movement stops.
• Press Start/Pause/Unlock Lid once and wait.
• If you need to stop the cycle completely, press and hold Start/Pause/Unlock Lid for about 3 seconds to cancel.

When a reset is not enough

A reset won’t fix a failed part. If the same symptom returns, these are common next checks:

• Won’t start: lid lock not engaging
• Won’t fill: inlet screens clogged or valve issue
• Won’t drain/spin: drain pump blockage or failure

Symptom after reset	Most likely area to check	Example compatible part
Lid won’t lock / won’t start	Lid lock system	Washer lid lock W11307244
Won’t drain or drains slowly	Drain pump / drain path	Washer drain pump W10876600
Won’t fill or fills slowly	Water inlet valve / screens	Water inlet valve assembly W11210459

Why it matters

Resetting the control is the fastest way to clear a “frozen” cycle or unresponsive buttons on the 11022352511. If the lid unlock delay or the problem keeps coming back, it usually points to a lid lock, drain, or fill issue.

Yes. Your Kenmore 11022352511 top-load washer uses a filter in the drain system to help catch debris and small items so they don’t damage the drain pump or clog the drain hose. For model-specific care and cleaning guidance, see the 11022352511 use & care manual.

What “filter” means on model 11022352511

On this Kenmore washer design, the “filter” is typically a drain-pump clean-out style filter (debris screen), not a removable lint screen you clean after every load.

Common places debris collects:

• Drain pump clean-out filter (debris screen)
• Tub-to-pump hose (small items can lodge here)
• Drain hose (kinks or buildup can restrict flow)

When you should check or clean it

If the filter area is restricted, you’ll often notice:

• Water left in the tub after the cycle
• Humming or gurgling during Drain/Spin
• Clothes coming out wetter than normal
• Intermittent draining problems after washing small items

Parts related to the washer “filter”

If you’re troubleshooting draining or suspect debris in the pump area, these parts are commonly involved:

Component	What it does	Model-compatible part
Washer drain pump clean-out filter	Screens debris in the drain path	Washer drain pump clean-out filter WPW10215093
Washer drain pump	Pumps water out during drain/spin	Washer drain pump W10876600

Why it matters

A clogged filter or restricted drain path can prevent proper draining and reduce spin performance, which can lead to longer cycle times and extra strain on the drain pump.
