Kenmore 11082984820 washer Parts

Your Kenmore washer model number is printed on the appliance’s model and serial tag; for Kenmore washers it often starts with 110 (like 11082984820). On most top-load Kenmore washers, we find it under the lid near the tub opening or on the rear panel.

Where to look on Kenmore washers

Check these common locations first:

• Under the lid, around the tub opening (top-load models)
• On the back panel near the power cord
• Along the rear edge of the control console
• Inside the cabinet on the left or right side wall (visible when the lid is open)
• On the lower front area behind the front panel (less common)

What the model number should look like

For Kenmore, the model number is usually 10 to 12 characters and may be all numbers or a mix of letters and numbers. For this washer, the correct model format is 11082984820.

What you see on the tag	What it means	What to do next
Model: 11082984820	Exact washer model	Use it to match diagrams and parts
Model: 110.82984820	Same model with a dot	Enter it without the dot if needed
Only “110” plus more digits	Kenmore prefix	Capture the full string, not just 110

Why it matters (and how it prevents wrong parts)

We use the model number to match the correct version of parts that can look similar but fit differently, such as a motor coupling, water pump, or lid switch.

If you are troubleshooting while you locate the tag, a common wear item on many Kenmore 110 top-load washers is the coupling 285753A, which can cause a no-agitate or no-spin symptom when it fails.

Yes, repairing a Kenmore washer is usually worth it when the machine is otherwise in good shape and the fix targets a common wear item. For Kenmore model 11082984820, repairs like a new coupling, water pump, or agitator parts often restore normal washing for far less than replacing the washer.

Quick way we decide: repair vs replace

Use these practical checkpoints before spending money:

• Repair it if the washer fills, drains, and powers on, but has a specific symptom (won’t spin, won’t agitate, leaks, noisy drain).
• Repair it if the needed part is a common mechanical item like a coupling 285753A or water pump WP3363394.
• Repair it if the tub and cabinet are solid (no severe rust-through) and the washer is not flooding.
• Consider replacing if multiple major systems are failing (leak plus no spin plus electrical issues).
• Consider replacing if the gear case is failing and you also have other big problems (the gear 3360629 is a higher-cost repair).

Common “worth it” repairs on this model

Many top-load Kenmore washers in this design fail in predictable, fixable ways.

Symptom	Likely area	Typical fix direction
Agitates weakly or “ratchets”	Agitator dogs/cam	Replace agitator dog 80040 and inspect agitator cam 285748
Won’t spin or makes grinding noise	Drive coupling/clutch	Check coupling 285753A and clutch 285785
Won’t drain or hums while draining	Drain pump	Replace water pump WP3363394 and clear hose obstructions
Loud banging or off-balance	Suspension	Inspect springs such as washer suspension spring WP63907

Why it matters

A targeted repair keeps a proven Kenmore washer running, avoids the learning curve of a new machine, and often fixes performance issues (spin, drain, agitation) that are caused by a single worn part.

A Kenmore washer typically lasts 10 to 15 years. For your Kenmore washer model 11082984820, reaching the high end of that range usually comes down to load size, leveling, and keeping wear items in good shape (especially the drive and drain components).

Typical lifespan and what changes it

Most washers fail early from a few predictable issues. These are the biggest factors we see:

• Overloading (stresses the drive system and suspension)
• Unbalanced loads (increases vibration and wear)
• Hard water and detergent buildup (can affect valves and draining)
• Small leaks (can damage bearings, motor coupler, and gearcase over time)
• Skipping basic maintenance (hose checks, cleaning, leveling)

Quick maintenance checklist (helps you hit 15 years)

• Keep loads below the top of the basket and distribute items evenly.
• Confirm the washer sits level and solid on the floor; recheck after moving.
• Inspect fill hoses for bulges or cracking and replace if worn.
• If draining slows, check for clogs and listen for pump noise; a failing pump is common.
• Address agitation or spin slipping early to avoid bigger drive damage.

Common wear parts that can shorten lifespan

If your washer fills but will not agitate or spin, these parts are frequent culprits on many Kenmore top-load designs:

Symptom	Common cause	Example part for this model
Agitator moves weakly or “ratchets”	Worn agitator dogs	Agitator dog 80040
Won’t drain or drains slowly	Clogged or failing pump	Water pump WP3363394
Motor runs but basket does not move	Worn motor coupling	Coupling 285753A

Why it matters

A washer that is vibrating, slipping in spin, or draining slowly often keeps running for a while, but the extra strain can turn a smaller repair into a larger one (gearcase, basket drive, or tub damage). Fixing the early symptom usually extends the overall life.
