Kenmore 11024642300 washer Parts

The Kenmore washer model 11024642300 is typically about 3.2 cubic feet of capacity for this 110-series top-load design. For the exact rated capacity for your specific unit and configuration, we recommend confirming it in the 11024642300 owner's manual.

How to confirm capacity on your exact washer

Capacity is sometimes listed in the specifications section, product record, or feature overview.

• Check the specifications or features pages in the 11024642300 owner's manual
• Match the full model number 11024642300 from the label under the lid
• If your washer has optional dispensers or a different basket style, verify the spec section
• Use the capacity to choose proper load size and detergent amount

Typical capacity guidance for this Kenmore style

For many Kenmore 110-series, direct-drive, top-load washers, capacity commonly falls in a narrow range.

Washer type	Typical capacity range	What you’ll notice
Standard top-load (agitator)	3.0 to 3.3 cu. ft.	Full-size basket, traditional cycles
High-efficiency top-load	3.5 to 4.8 cu. ft.	Lower water use, different wash action

Why it matters

Knowing the cubic-foot capacity helps us recommend the right parts and troubleshooting steps (for example, diagnosing out-of-balance loads that can stress suspension components). If your washer is shaking or banging during spin, worn support parts can contribute, such as the washer suspension spring WP63907.

On Kenmore washer model 11024642300, we unclog the drain hose by safely disconnecting it, clearing the blockage, then reinstalling it exactly as designed so it will not kink, leak, or siphon water back into the washer. Use the drain-hose routing steps in the 11024642300 installation guide.

Safety first

• Unplug the washer.
• Turn off both water faucets.
• Have towels and a shallow pan ready for water in the hose.
• If the washer is full of water, bail out as much as possible before moving it.

Step-by-step: clear the clog

1. Pull the washer forward enough to access the hose connection.
2. Remove the drain hose from the home drain (standpipe or laundry tub) and from the washer outlet.
3. Check for a kinked hose or a crushed section first; straighten it.
4. Clear the hose:
   • Flush with hot water.
   • If buildup is heavy, soak the clogged end in hot water with vinegar for 20 to 30 minutes, then flush again.
   • Use a flexible drain brush or a straightened plastic zip tie to pull lint and debris out (avoid sharp tools that can puncture the hose).
5. Reinstall the hose and clamp it securely.

Reinstall it correctly (prevents repeat clogs)

The installation instructions for this model emphasize correct hose routing to prevent leaks and backflow.

• Keep the hooked end; do not straighten it.
• Rotate the hook to eliminate kinks.
• Do not force excess hose down into the standpipe.
• Leave an air gap so the hose is secure but not airtight.

Quick check table

What you see	Most likely cause	What to do
Washer will not drain or drains slowly	Hose clogged or kinked	Clear hose; reroute to remove kinks
Water backs up into tub after draining	No air gap or hose shoved too deep	Reposition hose for a loose air gap
Leaks at washer outlet	Clamp not seated or hose not fully on outlet	Reinstall hose to the stop; reposition clamp

When the hose is clear but it still will not drain

A clog can also be in the pump. If the hose is clear and the washer still will not drain, inspect the washer drain pump WP3363394.

Why it matters

A properly cleared and routed drain hose protects floors from water damage, prevents siphoning, and helps the drain pump move water efficiently during drain and spin.

Yes; repairing a Kenmore washer is worth it when the fix restores reliable washing and spinning for less than replacing the machine, especially on a proven direct-drive style like model 11024642300. We recommend pricing the repair around the failed part and labor, then comparing to a new washer.

Quick decision checklist

• Repair when the washer still fills, drains, and spins and the problem is isolated (noise, no agitation, won’t drain).
• Repair when the cabinet, tub, and basket are in good shape (no major rust-through or severe leaks).
• Repair when the needed part is common and affordable (lid switch, drain pump, motor coupling).
• Replace when multiple major systems are failing at once (leaks plus drive issues plus timer problems).
• Replace when the repair requires repeated teardown and you have recurring breakdowns.

Common repairs that are usually cost-effective on 11024642300

Many “no spin/no drain/no agitate” complaints on this Kenmore platform trace to a few high-wear parts:

Symptom	Likely part to check	Example part for this model
Won’t spin or acts dead with lid closed	Lid switch	Washer lid switch WP3949238
Won’t drain or leaves water in tub	Drain pump or blockage	Washer drain pump WP3363394
Motor runs but won’t agitate/spin	Motor coupling	Washer motor coupling 285753A
Agitator moves poorly or “ratchets”	Agitator dogs/cam	Agitator dog 80040

Why it matters

A targeted repair keeps a solid Kenmore washer running for years and avoids the cost and hassle of replacing hoses, hookups, and fitment. The owner documentation also emphasizes safe servicing practices and only performing repairs you understand and have the skills to carry out; use the 11024642300 owner's manual for model-specific guidance.

What we recommend before you decide

• Confirm the symptom (no agitate vs no spin vs no drain) and whether the motor runs.
• Check for simple causes first: unbalanced load, kinked drain hose, tripped breaker.
• If the washer will not spin, test the lid switch circuit first.
• If it will not drain, inspect the pump inlet for socks, coins, or debris.
• If it fills and drains but will not agitate, inspect the coupling and agitator components.

On the Kenmore washer model 11024642300, the FH code points to a water fill (inlet) problem, meaning the washer is not sensing enough incoming water. In most cases, turning on both supply faucets fully and correcting a fill restriction clears the code.

What to check first (fast fixes)

• Make sure both hot and cold faucets are fully open.
• Confirm the fill hoses are not kinked, crushed, or frozen.
• Check that home water pressure is in a normal range; most installations work best around 20 to 100 psi.
• Clean the inlet screens at the ends of the fill hoses (sediment can block flow).
• If the washer is in a cold area, avoid operating it at or below 32°F (0°C).

Reset and retry the cycle

1. Press Pause/Cancel twice to stop the cycle.
2. Unplug the washer (or switch off the breaker) for 1 minute.
3. Restore power and start a Rinse/Spin or a normal cycle to test filling.

When it is likely a part problem

If the faucets are on, hoses and screens are clear, and FH returns, the issue is usually in the water inlet valve or the washer is not detecting the fill correctly.

Symptom	Most common cause	What we recommend
No water enters at all	Closed faucet, blocked screen, failed valve	Verify supply; consider replacing the valve
Slow fill, long fill time	Partially blocked screen, low pressure	Clean screens; confirm pressure
Fills sometimes, then FH	Intermittent valve or supply issue	Inspect hoses/screens; replace valve if needed

If you need the replacement valve for this model, use the exact match: washer inlet valve 285805.

Why it matters

FH is a protection code; if the washer cannot fill correctly, it can stop mid-cycle, clean poorly, or strain components like the drive system and timer. Restoring proper water flow prevents repeat shutdowns.

For model-specific steps and safety guidance, follow the 11024642300 owner's manual and the 11024642300 installation guide.

A Kenmore washer typically lasts 10 to 15 years with normal household use and basic maintenance. For your Kenmore model 11024642300, following the care and installation requirements in the 11024642300 owner’s manual helps you get the longest service life.

Typical lifespan and what affects it

Most washer life is driven by load habits, installation, and wear parts.

• Overloading or tightly packed loads (clothes should move freely)
• Frequent heavy cycles (bulky items, many towels, workwear)
• Hard water and detergent overuse (buildup increases strain)
• Poor installation conditions (unlevel floor, low water pressure)
• Worn mechanical parts (agitator, drive, drain components)

Quick lifespan guide

Usage pattern	Typical lifespan	What to expect
Light (small loads, few cycles/week)	12 to 15 years	Fewer repairs, slower wear
Average household use	10 to 15 years	Normal wear parts over time
Heavy (large loads, frequent cycles)	8 to 12 years	More frequent repairs

Signs your washer is nearing end of life

These symptoms often show up as key components wear down:

• Won’t spin or agitate consistently
• Loud grinding, burning smell, or repeated slipping during spin
• Water not draining fully or draining slowly
• Leaks from the tub area or underneath
• Timer or cycle control becomes unreliable

Parts that commonly extend service life

Replacing a few common wear items can restore performance and reduce strain on the drive system.

• Agitator dog 80040 (helps the agitator “ratchet” and move clothes)
• Washer motor coupling 285753A (connects motor to transmission drive)
• Washer drain pump WP3363394 (restores proper draining and spin performance)

Why it matters

A washer that drains, agitates, and spins correctly cleans better, runs quieter, and avoids secondary damage (for example, a draining problem can prevent proper spin and increase vibration). For model-specific operating and care steps, use the 11024642300 owner’s manual.
