Kenmore 11020622990 washer Parts

Kenmore washer model 11020622990 is a classic top-load, agitator-style washer; capacity for washers in this design is typically about 3.2 to 3.5 cu. ft. For the exact cubic-foot rating for your specific unit, we recommend confirming it in the 11020622990 owner's manual.

How to confirm the exact capacity

Capacity is usually listed in the specifications section or product information pages of the manual. If you do not see “cu. ft.” called out directly, use these practical checks:

• Look for a Specifications or Product features section in the manual
• Check the model and serial number plate location described in the manual (helpful when matching specs)
• Compare your washer style: top-load with Dual Action agitator (common for this model family)
• If you are shopping parts, match by model number 11020622990 to avoid fit issues
• Use load guidance: most 3.2 to 3.5 cu. ft. top-loaders handle a medium to large mixed load comfortably

Typical capacity range for this Kenmore 110-style top-load design

We see these common capacity ranges for Kenmore 110-series, Whirlpool-built, two-speed top-load washers with an agitator:

Washer type	Typical capacity range	What you will notice
Standard top-load with agitator (like 11020622990)	3.0 to 3.6 cu. ft.	Deeper tub, rollover wash action
Larger top-load (newer, high-capacity designs)	3.8 to 4.5+ cu. ft.	Taller tub, larger bulky loads

Why it matters

Knowing cubic feet helps us choose the right cycle and load size so the agitator can circulate clothes properly. Overloading reduces cleaning performance and can increase vibration and wear on drive components.

Your Kenmore washer model number is printed on the model and serial number plate; for Kenmore model 11020622990, that plate is typically on the washer cabinet under the lid (top-load) or around the door opening (front-load). Use the full model number to match the correct parts and manual.

Where to look on Kenmore washers

Check these common locations first:

• Under the lid on the top rim of the cabinet (top-load washers)
• Inside the door opening on the front frame (front-load washers)
• On the back panel near the power cord
• Along the side of the cabinet near the control console
• On a metal plate or durable sticker labeled “Model” and “Serial”

What the model number looks like

Kenmore washer model numbers often start with 110 and are usually 11 characters or longer. Record the model and serial exactly as shown on the plate; our parts lookup depends on an exact match.

What you see	What it means	Why it matters
Model No.	The exact washer model (example: 11020622990)	Ensures correct part fit and diagrams
Serial No.	The unit-specific serial	Helps identify production details

Why it matters

Using the correct model number prevents ordering the wrong lid switch, drain pump, or drive components. For example, once you confirm the model, you can confidently match parts like the washer lid switch WP3949238 to the correct Kenmore washer configuration.

Tips for getting it right

• Copy every digit exactly; do not shorten the number
• Take a clear photo of the plate before ordering parts
• If the sticker is worn, look for a stamped metal plate on the cabinet
• Keep the model and serial recorded with your paperwork as recommended in the 11020622990 owner's manual

A Kenmore washer typically lasts 10 to 15 years. For Kenmore model 11020622990, consistent care (proper loading, correct detergent, and routine cleaning) helps you reach the high end of that range and reduces wear on the drive system and water-handling parts.

Typical lifespan and what affects it

Most top-load, agitator-style washers like the Kenmore 11020622990 land in the 10 to 15 year window. Lifespan is mainly driven by load size, vibration, water quality, and how often the washer runs.

Biggest lifespan reducers

• Overloading or washing heavy items (rugs, comforters) too often
• Chronic out-of-balance spinning and cabinet shaking
• Slow draining or repeated clogs
• Hard water scale buildup in the fill system
• Running with a worn drive or agitation component

Maintenance that extends washer life

We recommend following the care and operating guidance in the 11020622990 owner's manual.

High-impact habits

• Keep loads balanced; mix items and avoid single heavy pieces
• Use the right amount of detergent; too much can cause residue and odors
• Leave the lid open between loads to dry the tub
• Check fill hoses for bulges/cracks and replace as needed
• Address new noises early (grinding, squealing, banging)

Parts that commonly end a washer’s service life

When a washer stops agitating, won’t spin, or won’t drain, these are frequent repair points on this style of Kenmore washer:

Symptom	Common suspect	Example model-matched part
Won’t spin or stops mid-cycle	Lid safety circuit	Washer lid switch WP3949238
Won’t drain or drains slowly	Drain pump or blockage	Washer drain pump WP3363394
Agitates poorly or “ratchets”	Agitator wear items	Agitator dog 80040
No agitation/spin, motor runs	Drive coupling	Coupling 285753A

Why it matters

Knowing the typical lifespan helps you decide whether to repair or replace. If your Kenmore 11020622990 is under 10 years old, repairs like a lid switch, drain pump, or coupling often restore full operation at a reasonable cost.
