Kenmore 11027892790 washer Parts

Kenmore washer model numbers are structured so you can identify who built the washer and which design family it belongs to. For Kenmore model 11027892790, the 110 prefix identifies the manufacturer, and the remaining digits narrow down the exact series and feature variations; use the full number when ordering parts.

Most Kenmore model numbers follow this pattern:

• Prefix (first 3 digits): identifies the manufacturer (for example, 110 is a common Kenmore washer prefix).
• Core model digits (middle group): identifies the base platform or series.
• Trailing digits (last group): identifies feature, color, or production variations.

For parts lookup and compatibility, we always recommend using the entire model number exactly as shown on the model and serial plate.

On Kenmore washers like 11027892790, the model and serial information is printed on the model and serial number plate. The owner's manual also calls out this plate and recommends recording the full model and serial numbers for future reference.

• Check the cabinet area around the lid opening (top-load washers commonly place it there).
• Look for a printed plate or label that lists Model No. and Serial No.
• Write the full model number down before shopping for parts.

Even small digit changes can mean different components (agitator parts, drive system parts, or water valve styles). Using the full model number helps match the correct replacement part the first time.

• Model: 11027892790
• Manufacturer prefix: 110
• Variation digits: 27892790

To unclog the drain hose on your Kenmore washer model 11027892790, unplug the washer, remove as much water as possible, then disconnect and flush the drain hose and check the drain pump inlet for debris. Reinstall the hose exactly as shown in the owner's manual.

• Unplug the power cord.
• Turn off both water supply valves.
• Bail out the tub or wet-vac the water from the tub if it will not drain.
• Keep towels and a shallow pan ready; the hose and pump will release water.
• If the washer is full of water, avoid tipping it; pull it forward carefully.

1. Check for kinks first: Straighten the hose behind the washer and at the standpipe or laundry tub.
2. Remove the hose from the standpipe/tub: Look for lint, coins, socks, or a crushed hose end.
3. Flush the hose: Run hot tap water through it (a garden hose works well). If it is packed with lint, push a small drain snake through from the standpipe end.
4. Check the pump inlet: If the hose is clear but the washer still will not drain, disconnect the hose at the washer and inspect the pump inlet for debris.
5. Reinstall correctly: Wet the inside of the straight hose end with tap water only, clamp it in the correct position, and push the hose fully onto the drain connector until it hits the stop.

A partially clogged drain hose can cause “won’t drain/wet loads,” longer cycle times, and pump damage. Correct hose routing and clamping also helps prevent leaks and floor damage.

A Kenmore washer typically lasts 10 to 15 years. For your Kenmore 11027892790 top-load washer, consistent maintenance (proper loading, correct detergent, and periodic cleaning) helps you reach the high end of that range and reduces wear on the drive and drain systems.

• Load size and balance: chronic overloading strains the clutch, gear case, and suspension.
• Water quality: hard water speeds up residue buildup and can affect valves and seals.
• Drain performance: slow draining makes the pump work harder and can leave standing water.
• Agitation and spin wear: worn agitator components can reduce cleaning and increase stress on the drivetrain.
• Routine care: cleaning residue and using the right amount of detergent prevents odors and buildup.

• Keep loads evenly distributed; wash bulky items with similar items.
• Use HE detergent in the correct amount (too much causes residue and odors).
• Check fill and drain behavior; address slow draining early.
• If agitation is weak, inspect common wear items like the agitator dog 80040.
• Follow the cleaning and care guidance in the owner's manual.

A washer that is maintained well not only lasts longer, it also cleans better and avoids secondary damage (for example, a draining issue can lead to odors, standing water, and extra strain on the pump and drive system).

Kenmore washer model 11027892790 is a classic agitator top-load design; washers in this design class typically run about 3.2 to 3.8 cubic feet. For the most accurate capacity for your exact unit, use the basket-measurement method in the 11027892790 owner's manual.

Measure the inside of the wash basket (not the outer tub), then calculate volume.

• Measure inside diameter (inches)
• Measure inside depth to the rim (inches)
• Convert to feet (divide inches by 12)
• Use: Volume (cu. ft.) = π × (radius in feet)² × (depth in feet)

These ranges help you sanity-check your calculation.

• Standard agitator top-load: 2.9 to 3.5 cu. ft.
• “Super capacity” agitator top-load: 3.2 to 3.8 cu. ft.
• High-capacity impeller top-load: 4.0 to 5.5+ cu. ft.

Capacity affects load size, cleaning action, and spin balance. Overloading increases strain on drive components such as the clutch 285785 and can contribute to vibration, poor rinsing, and wear.
