Kenmore Elite 11044832201 washer with horizontal axis Parts

The exact cubic-foot capacity for the Kenmore Elite washer model 11044832201 is listed in the product specifications section of the owner's manual. This model is a horizontal-axis (front-load) washer; most washers in this class are commonly in the mid-to-large capacity range.

How to find the capacity for model 11044832201

We recommend using the manual because it ties the capacity to your exact model configuration.

• Open the owner's manual
• Look for “Specifications”, “Capacity”, or “Washer dimensions” sections
• If the manual lists basket volume in liters, convert to cubic feet (see table below)
• If it lists tub dimensions, capacity can be calculated from the basket measurements

Typical capacity range (helpful for planning loads)

If you are estimating load size before you confirm the exact spec, these are common ranges for horizontal-axis washers like this Kenmore Elite:

• Compact: 2.0 to 2.6 cu. ft.
• Standard: 2.7 to 3.5 cu. ft.
• Large: 3.6 to 4.5 cu. ft.
• Extra-large: 4.6 cu. ft. and up

If the manual shows	Quick conversion	Approx. cubic feet
Liters (L)	L ÷ 28.316	cu. ft.
Cubic inches (in³)	in³ ÷ 1728	cu. ft.

Why it matters

Capacity affects how much you can wash effectively without overloading. Overloading a front-load washer increases vibration and can contribute to wear on suspension components such as the shck absorbr WP8182703 and suspension spring W10135004.

Kenmore model numbers are read in two parts: the prefix (usually the first 3 digits) identifies the original manufacturer, and the remaining digits identify the specific product series and configuration. For Kenmore Elite washer model 11044832201, the 110 prefix indicates a Whirlpool-built washer.

Where to find the model number on a washer

We recommend locating the model and serial label first, then copying the full model number exactly as shown.

Common label locations include:

• Inside the door opening (front-load models)
• Under the lid (top-load models)
• On the back panel
• Along the door frame or cabinet edge
• Near the lower front access panel (some models)

For diagrams and model/serial label guidance tied to your washer, use the owner's manual.

How to interpret the digits (what they tell you)

Kenmore numbers are mainly used for parts compatibility and service identification.

• Prefix (first 3 digits): manufacturer code (example: 110)
• Middle digits: platform/series and engineering design
• Ending digits: revision, feature set, or production variation

Quick example for this model

Example model	Prefix	What the prefix means	Why you care
11044832201	110	Whirlpool-built Kenmore washer	Helps match the correct parts and service info

Why it matters when ordering parts

Even small digit differences can change which door lock, water inlet valve, or hose fits. When you shop parts for 11044832201, match parts to the full model number, not just “Kenmore Elite washer.”

A few commonly replaced parts for this model include:

• Door lock WP8182634 (door won’t lock or won’t start)
• Washer water inlet valve WP8181694 (no fill, slow fill, or wrong temperature)
• Bellow WP8181850 (leaks at the door boot)

Tips to avoid model-number mistakes

• Write the model number exactly, including all digits
• Use the full model number when searching parts diagrams
• If the label is worn, take a clear photo and zoom in to confirm digits

Yes. The Kenmore Elite 11044832201 is a premium, front-loading (horizontal-axis) washer; the Elite line is Kenmore’s higher-end tier and this model also includes stronger long-term coverage on key components like the stainless steel drum and plastic tub (per the warranty section in the owner's manual).

What “high end” means for this washer

High-end washers typically focus on better cleaning performance, higher spin speeds for improved water extraction, and more robust build features.

Common “premium” traits you can expect from a Kenmore Elite front-load platform include:

• Horizontal-axis wash action for efficient cleaning and rinsing
• Higher-speed spin to reduce dryer time
• More advanced cycle options than basic models
• Heavier-duty suspension and vibration control parts
• A door lock system designed to keep the door secured during operation

Model-specific details we can confirm

From the documentation for this model family, we can confirm it is a Kenmore front-loading automatic washer and that Kenmore Elite warranty coverage is positioned above entry-level machines.

Item	What it indicates	Why it matters
Elite front-load design	Premium tier in the Kenmore lineup	Typically better efficiency and performance
Limited lifetime coverage on stainless steel drum	Higher-end component support	Drum durability is a major value factor
10-year coverage on plastic tub (years 2-10)	Long-term support on a core structure	Tub failures are expensive repairs

Why it matters when you’re buying parts or repairing

Higher-end washers often use more specialized components; using the correct model-matched part helps restore performance and reduce repeat failures.

If you’re troubleshooting common “premium front-load” issues, these model-matched parts are often involved:

• Excess vibration or banging: shck absorbr WP8182703, suspension spring W10135004
• Won’t fill or fills slowly: washer water inlet valve WP8181694
• Door won’t lock or won’t start: door lock WP8182634, washer door strike WP8181651
• Leaks at the door opening: bellow WP8181850

For the Kenmore Elite washer model 11044832201, the fastest “hard reset” is a power reset: stop the cycle, remove power briefly, then restart. For most control glitches, the manual’s cancel and restart steps using PAUSE/CANCEL and START restore normal operation; see the owner's manual.

Reset options that work on this model

Use these in order; they address most “stuck cycle,” keypad, and door-lock situations.

• Cancel the cycle: press PAUSE/CANCEL twice.
• Restart at the beginning of a new cycle: select a cycle, select OPTIONS, then press and hold START for about 1 second.
• Pause and resume: press PAUSE/CANCEL once, then press and hold START for about 1 second.
• Drain if water is left in the tub: press PAUSE/CANCEL, select DRAIN/SPIN, then press and hold START for about 1 second.

Power reset (hard reset) steps

If the control panel is unresponsive or the washer will not start, do this power reset.

1. Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice.
2. Unplug the washer (or switch the breaker off).
3. Wait 1 minute.
4. Restore power.
5. Select a cycle and press and hold START for about 1 second.

Quick reference

Goal	Buttons to use	What happens
Cancel and power down	PAUSE/CANCEL twice	Washer powers down; door unlocks after draining if needed
Pause mid-cycle	PAUSE/CANCEL once	Cycle pauses; door unlock depends on water level and temperature
Resume/start	Hold START (about 1 second)	Cycle continues or restarts

Why it matters

This front-load (horizontal-axis) Kenmore Elite uses an electronic control to manage filling, draining, spinning, and the door lock. Canceling correctly clears the current cycle state; a brief power reset clears temporary control glitches.
