Kenmore 11029422800 washer Parts

Your Kenmore washer model number is the ID we use to match the correct parts and diagrams; for this washer, the model number is 11029422800. You’ll typically find it on the model and serial tag under the lid (top-load) or around the door opening (front-load), and sometimes on the back panel.

Where to look on Kenmore washers

Check these common locations first:

• Top-load washers: under the lid, along the rim of the opening
• Front-load washers: inside the door opening, usually on the cabinet front
• All styles: back panel near the power cord, or behind/near the control console
• Sometimes: inside the lid/door hinge area

What the model number looks like

Kenmore model numbers are usually a long string of numbers (often starting with 110 on many Kenmore-built top-load designs). Write it down exactly as shown.

What to capture	Example for this washer	Why it matters
Model number	11029422800	Ensures parts fit your exact washer
Serial number	(varies)	Helps confirm production run and revisions
Type	Washer	Helps narrow diagrams and troubleshooting

Tips to avoid ordering the wrong part

Use these quick checks before you buy a replacement part:

• Match the model number character-for-character (no missing digits)
• Use the model number when searching parts like a lid switch or drain pump
• Compare your washer’s control style (knobs vs. switches) to the diagrams
• Keep the tag info handy when using the 11029422800 owner’s manual

Why it matters

Kenmore washers often share similar-looking cabinets across multiple model series; the exact model number (like 11029422800) is what separates compatible parts such as a washer lid switch assembly WP8318084 or washer drain pump WP3363394 from look-alikes.

A Kenmore washer typically lasts 10 to 15 years with normal household use. For your Kenmore 11029422800 washer, correct installation (level floor, proper drain setup, and correct electrical supply) and routine care help you reach the high end of that range; see the 11029422800 installation guide for setup requirements.

Typical lifespan and what affects it

Most washers land in the 10 to 15 year range; the biggest differences come from load size, water quality, and how often the washer runs.

• Overloading and frequent heavy loads shorten drive and suspension life
• Poor leveling increases vibration and wear
• Low water pressure or restricted hoses can stress fill components
• Freezing temperatures can damage internal water passages
• Small leaks left unchecked can damage bearings and the drive system

Quick checks that extend washer life

Use these habits to reduce strain on the motor, clutch, and tub system.

• Keep the washer level and stable; recheck if it starts to “walk”
• Use the right water temperature and detergent amount for the load
• Avoid packing the basket tight; leave room for clothes to move
• Inspect inlet hoses for bulges or seepage and replace as needed
• If the washer will be in freezing conditions, winterize per the 11029422800 owner’s manual

Common wear items on this style of Kenmore top-load washer

These parts often cause performance issues before the washer reaches end-of-life.

Symptom	Common cause	Example part for model 11029422800
Agitator won’t “ratchet” or moves poorly	Worn agitator dogs/cam	Agitator dog 80040
Won’t spin or makes grinding noise	Drive coupling or clutch wear	Coupling 285753A
Won’t drain or drains slowly	Clogged or failing pump	Washer drain pump WP3363394
Won’t start or stops when lid opens	Lid switch issue	Washer lid switch assembly WP8318084

Why it matters

Knowing the expected lifespan helps you decide when a repair is a smart investment. If your 11029422800 is near 10 to 15 years old, fixing a single wear part (like a coupling or drain pump) often restores reliable operation without replacing the whole washer.

For Kenmore washer model 11029422800, the most commonly replaced parts are the ones tied to everyday wear, draining, spinning, and lid safety. If your washer won’t agitate, won’t drain, won’t spin, or won’t start, these are the first parts we check and replace. See the 11029422800 owner's manual for operating and care details.

Commonly replaced parts for this model

These parts are frequent fixes for the most common symptoms:

• Agitation problems (weak or no agitation): agitator dog 80040, agitator cam 285748
• Won’t drain or drains slowly: washer drain pump WP3363394
• Won’t spin or makes grinding noises: coupling 285753A, clutch 285785
• Won’t start or stops when the lid opens: washer lid switch assembly WP8318084
• Excessive vibration or out-of-balance: washer suspension spring WP63907

Quick symptom-to-part guide

Symptom	Most likely part(s) to check	What it affects
Agitator moves but clothes do not	Agitator dog, agitator cam	Top agitator “ratcheting” action
Hums but won’t drain	Drain pump	Water removal from tub
Motor runs but basket does not spin	Coupling, clutch	Power transfer and spin engagement
No spin with lid closed	Lid switch assembly	Safety interlock
Shakes or bangs in spin	Suspension spring	Tub support and balance

Before you order: 5 fast checks that prevent wrong-part returns

We recommend these checks first because they confirm the failure and point to the right repair.

• Confirm the symptom happens on multiple cycles (wash, rinse, spin).
• Listen for the motor: running with no movement often points to a coupling or clutch.
• Check for standing water; slow drain often points to the pump or a blockage.
• Inspect hoses for kinks and leaks; the installation guide notes replacing inlet hoses every 5 years.
• Verify the lid closes and “clicks” the switch; a failed lid switch can stop spin.

Why it matters

Replacing the correct wear part restores normal agitation, draining, and spin speed; it also prevents secondary damage (for example, a slipping coupling can stress the drive system). For installation and hose guidance, use the 11029422800 installation guide.
