Kenmore 11020022013 washer Parts

A Kenmore washer typically lasts 10 to 12 years with normal household use and basic maintenance. For your Kenmore model 11020022013, that same 10 to 12 year expectation applies; actual lifespan depends most on load size, installation, and how quickly small issues are repaired.

• Overloading (extra strain on the drive system, basket, and motor)
• Unlevel installation (increases vibration and wear)
• Hard water and detergent buildup (can cause odors and component wear)
• Drain problems (standing water stresses the pump and hoses)
• Delayed repairs (a small leak or noise can turn into a major failure)

For installation basics that help reduce vibration and “washer walk,” follow the leveling and hookup steps in the 11020022013 installation guide.

• Keep loads balanced; wash bulky items in smaller batches.
• Use the correct detergent amount; too much can cause residue.
• Check hoses periodically for bulges, cracks, or leaks.
• If the washer starts draining slowly, inspect the drain path and pump area.
• Address unusual noises early (grinding, squealing, or banging).

If you’re troubleshooting a drain issue on this model, the compatible replacement is the washer drain pump assembly WPW10276397.

Knowing the typical 10 to 12 year lifespan helps you decide whether to invest in a repair (like a drain pump, belt, or lid lock) or plan for replacement, especially if multiple symptoms show up at once.

Yes. Your Kenmore top-load washer model 11020022013 can use a drain-pump clean-out style filter that catches lint and small items before they reach the drain pump. This “filter” is typically checked when you have slow-drain or won’t-drain symptoms; see the 11020022013 installation guide.

On many Kenmore top-load washers like 11020022013, there isn’t a removable lint screen in the wash basket. Instead, the filtering happens in the drain path near the pump.

Common places to check:

• Drain pump clean-out area (if your pump design uses a clean-out filter)
• Tub-to-pump hose (coins, socks, debris can lodge here)
• Pump inlet (may require removing the pump for inspection)

If you need the model-matched replacement component, use: washer drain pump clean-out filter WPW10215093.

1. Unplug the washer.
2. Turn off both water supplies.
3. Place towels and a shallow pan under the pump area.
4. Open the clean-out slowly to control water flow.
5. Remove debris, rinse, and reinstall the filter/cap snugly.

• Washer won’t drain or drains very slowly
• Standing water left in the basket
• Grinding or rattling during drain
• Intermittent drain issues after washing small items

Keeping the drain path clear helps prevent drain pump damage, reduces drain time, and lowers the chance of clogs that can lead to leaks.

Kenmore model 11020022013 is a top-load washer, so front-load reset sequences do not apply. For this model, the safest “reset” is a power reset: stop the cycle, remove power briefly, then restart and confirm the lid is latching and the washer can drain.

• Press Power/Cancel to stop the cycle.
• Unplug the washer (or switch off the breaker) for 1 minute.
• Restore power.
• Lift and close the lid once.
• Select a cycle and press Start.

For installation-related checks that can affect operation (power, drain setup, leveling), use the 11020022013 installation guide.

A “reset” only clears a temporary control glitch. If the washer still will not run, these are common causes on this Kenmore top-load platform:

• Lid not closing or latching fully
• Washer not draining, so it will not advance
• Power supply issue (outlet, breaker)
• Water supply issue (valves off, kinked hoses)
• Control not responding to button presses

If your checks point to a lid-latch or drain problem, these model-compatible parts are commonly involved:

• Washer lid lock assembly W10404050
• Washer drain pump assembly WPW10276397

• Verify the outlet has power (test with a lamp).
• Make sure nothing is caught under the lid and the lid closes firmly.
• If there is standing water, try a Drain/Spin cycle.
• Confirm both water faucets are fully open.

Using front-load reset steps on Kenmore 11020022013 can waste time and miss the real cause. A power reset is safe, but repeat failures usually trace back to lid-lock engagement, draining restrictions, or power and water supply.
