Kenmore 11028132414 washer Parts

Kenmore washer model numbers are read in sections: the first 3 digits identify the manufacturer behind the Kenmore brand, the next group identifies the base design, and the final digits show feature or production variations. For your Kenmore washer model 11028132414, the 110 prefix is the key identifier.

What each part of the model number tells you

When you break a Kenmore model number into chunks, you can quickly narrow down the correct parts list, wiring layout, and troubleshooting steps.

• Prefix (first 3 digits): identifies the manufacturer code (for example, 110)
• Middle digits: identify the base platform or series
• Ending digits: identify version changes (color, control updates, minor revisions)
• Full model number: the only safe way to match parts like a lid lock, drain pump, or inlet valve

Why the full model number matters for parts

Many Kenmore washers share similar-looking cabinets and controls, but use different internal components. Using the complete model number helps us match the correct replacement part and avoid fit or wiring issues.

Common parts that vary by model variation include:

• Lid lock and strike style (example: washer lid lock assembly W10810403)
• Water valve configuration (example: washer water inlet valve W11165546)
• Drive system components (clutch, rotor, stator)
• Washplate and mounting hardware

Quick reference table

Model number section	Example from 11028132414	What it’s used for
Manufacturer prefix	110	Identifies the manufacturer code behind Kenmore
Base model digits	28132	Identifies the core washer design/platform
Variation digits	414	Identifies revisions and feature differences

Where to find the model number on the washer

Most Kenmore top-load washers list the model and serial on a label under the lid or around the lid opening. We recommend matching the label exactly, including all digits.

Why it matters

Reading the model number correctly prevents ordering the wrong washer parts and speeds up troubleshooting, especially for issues like off-balance loads, lid lock problems, or no-fill/no-drain symptoms. For model-specific operating and maintenance details (including loading guidance and troubleshooting), use the owner's manual.

To unclog the drain hose on your Kenmore washer model 11028132414, unplug the washer, remove standing water if needed, then disconnect and clear the drain hose and pump path. After clearing the blockage, reinstall the hose correctly so the washer can drain and spin normally (and avoid long-drain errors). See the owner's manual.

Safety and prep

• Unplug the washer (or switch off power at the breaker).
• Turn off both water faucets.
• Keep towels and a shallow pan ready for water in the hose.
• If the tub is full, bail water out or use a wet/dry vac at the standpipe.
• Pull the washer forward enough to access the rear drain hose.

Unclog the drain hose (step-by-step)

1. Disconnect the drain hose from the home drain (standpipe or laundry tub).
2. Check the hose end first for lint, coins, socks, or detergent buildup.
3. Flush the hose with hot water; for stubborn clogs, gently work a plastic drain snake through the hose.
4. If the hose is clear but the washer still drains slowly, inspect the drain pump path for debris; a common fix is replacing a weak or jammed pump such as the washer drain pump W10876600.
5. Reconnect everything and run Rinse & Spin to confirm normal draining.

Reinstall the drain hose correctly (prevents repeat clogs)

Your manual calls out several installation details that directly affect draining:

• Do not push the drain hose more than 4.5 in. (114 mm) into the standpipe.
• Do not tape over the drain opening.
• Keep the drain hose end below 96 in. (2.4 m) above the floor.
• Secure the hose so it cannot fall out during spin.

What you see	Most likely cause	What to do
Slow drain, “drn/dr” long drain	Hose kink, clog, or restricted pump	Clear hose; check pump for debris
Drains sometimes, sometimes not	Partial blockage (lint, small item)	Flush hose; inspect pump inlet
Won’t drain and hums	Pump jammed or failing	Check impeller area; replace pump if needed

Why it matters

A restricted drain hose can stop the washer from draining fast enough to spin, trigger long-drain behavior, and leave clothes wetter than normal. Correct hose depth and height also prevent siphoning and repeat drain problems.

Yes, repairing a Kenmore washer is usually worth it when the problem is a common wear item (like a drain pump, lid lock, or inlet valve) and the machine still runs well otherwise. For Kenmore model 11028132414, we typically recommend repair when the fix restores safe, reliable washing without approaching the cost of replacement.

A practical repair vs. replace checklist

We use these quick checks to decide:

• Repair if the washer is draining, filling, and spinning normally after a single-part fix.
• Repair if the issue is a frequent failure item such as the washer drain pump W10876600 or washer lid lock assembly W10810403.
• Repair if the tub and basket are in good shape (no severe rust, cracks, or repeated leaks).
• Replace if multiple major systems are failing (drive, control, tub) at the same time.
• Replace if the washer has repeated off-balance shutdowns even after load and suspension checks.

Common repairs that are often “worth it” on this model

These are the types of fixes that usually bring a top-load Kenmore back to normal operation:

Symptom	Often-related part/system	Example part on this model
Won’t drain or leaves water in tub	Drain pump or drain path	Washer drain pump W10876600
Lid won’t lock or cycle won’t start	Lid lock system	Washer lid lock assembly W10810403
Won’t fill, fills slowly, or wrong temp	Water inlet valve or screens	Washer water inlet valve W11165546
Shaking, banging, walking	Suspension/dampers, loading	Damper assembly W11130356

Why it matters (cost, downtime, and performance)

A targeted repair can restore performance quickly and avoid the downtime of shopping, delivery, and installation. Your owner's manual also emphasizes correct loading (loose heaps evenly around the washplate), which prevents off-balance pauses and reduces wear on suspension and drive components.

Tips to make the repair decision easier

• Compare the total repair cost (parts plus labor if used) to the price of a replacement washer.
• If you see an off-balance message like “OFb”, correct loading first; the manual instructs redistributing the load and restarting.
• Prioritize fixing one clear failure before replacing multiple parts.
• If the washer needs a control unit, drive assembly, and tub work together, replacement is usually the better value.

To hard reset (master reset) your Kenmore washer model 11028132414, we recommend a simple power reset: unplug the washer (or switch off the breaker) for 5 minutes, then restore power and try a cycle again. This clears many temporary control glitches and communication errors.

Recommended reset steps (safe power reset)

• Press Start/Pause/Unlock Lid once to stop the cycle.
• Unplug the washer (or turn the breaker off).
• Wait 5 minutes so the control fully powers down.
• Plug the washer back in (or turn the breaker on).
• Select a cycle and touch and hold Start/Pause/Unlock Lid to restart.
• If an error code returns immediately, clear it by pressing Start/Pause/Unlock Lid once, then press and hold it again to retry.

For model-specific operating notes and safety steps, use the owner's manual.

When a reset helps (and when it will not)

A reset is most effective for:

• Displayed F-type system error codes that clear and then allow a restart
• F6E2/F6E3 communication errors (UI and control not syncing)
• A cycle that pauses unexpectedly due to a temporary control issue

A reset usually will not fix:

• No fill or slow fill issues caused by a failed inlet valve or plumbing restriction
• Long drain problems caused by a clogged pump or drain path
• A lid that will not lock due to a mechanical lid lock problem

Quick troubleshooting by symptom

What you see	What to do first	Common next step
F6E2 or F6E3	Power reset (5 minutes)	Check wiring connections if problem repeats
“LF” (too long to fill)	Check faucets and hoses	Consider replacing the washer water inlet valve W11165546
“drn/dr” (long drain)	Check drain hose install and clogs	Consider inspecting/replacing the washer drain pump W10876600
F5E2 lid lock will not lock	Remove items under lid, close lid	Consider replacing the washer lid lock assembly W10810403

Why it matters

Resetting the washer is a fast way to clear a stalled control state without replacing parts. If the same error code returns after a proper 5-minute power down, the washer is usually detecting an ongoing issue (lid lock, draining, filling, or a control-related fault) that needs troubleshooting.

The cubic feet capacity for Kenmore washer model 11028132414 is listed in the product specifications for that exact model. The quickest way to confirm it is to check the capacity/specifications section in the 11028132414 owner's manual or the model and serial tag on the washer.

Where to find the exact capacity (most reliable)

Use these sources in this order:

• The specifications section of the 11028132414 owner's manual
• The model and serial tag under the lid or along the lid opening
• The tech sheet (often inside the cabinet or behind the control panel)
• Original purchase paperwork that lists “capacity” or “cu. ft.”

What this model’s manual confirms about the wash system

This Kenmore 11028132414 is a high-efficiency, low-water, washplate-style top-load washer. The manual explains that it is normal for some laundry to sit above the water line because the washer senses the load and adds the correct amount of water.

• Low-water washplate system (not a traditional full-tub fill)
• Automatic load size sensing (no manual water-level selector)
• Do not add extra water; it reduces cleaning performance
• Use HE detergent for proper operation

Capacity estimates (only for planning loads)

If you are estimating load size before you confirm the spec, most HE top-load washers of this design fall into these planning buckets:

Planning bucket	Typical capacity range (cu. ft.)	Examples of loads
Standard	3.2 to 3.6	Mixed everyday loads
Large	3.8 to 4.3	Towels, medium bedding
Extra-large	4.5 to 4.8	Bulkier loads, fewer cycles

Why it matters

Using the correct capacity helps prevent overloading, poor turnover on the washplate, out-of-balance spinning, and longer cycle times. For best performance, load items in loose heaps evenly around the washplate.
