Kenmore 11028133413 washer Parts

Most Kenmore washers last 10 to 15 years under normal household use. For your Kenmore 11028133413 top-loading high efficiency washer, consistent maintenance (HE detergent, correct loading, and keeping the washer level) is what most directly determines whether you land closer to 10 years or closer to 15.

Typical lifespan and what changes it

A washer’s life is mainly driven by load size, cycle frequency, and vibration control.

• Normal use: 10 to 15 years
• Heavy use (large family, daily loads): closer to 10 years
• Light use (few loads per week): closer to 15 years
• Poor leveling or chronic overloading: shortens life by stressing the drive system and suspension

Maintenance habits that extend washer life

These are the highest-impact habits for a low-water, HE top-load design like model 11028133413.

• Use HE (High Efficiency) detergent only; too many suds can cause poor rinsing and extra strain
• Load items in loose heaps evenly around the washplate (not piled on one side)
• Avoid consistently washing single heavy items (like one blanket) without balancing with similar items
• Keep the washer level to reduce off-balance events and vibration
• Check hoses periodically for wear; replace if cracked, bulging, or leaking

For model-specific operating and care steps, follow the owner's manual.

Quick “repair vs. replace” guide by age

This table helps set expectations when deciding whether a repair is worth it.

Washer age	What we typically see	Practical guidance
0 to 5 years	Minor issues, wear items	Repair is usually worthwhile
6 to 10 years	More frequent part wear	Repair if the fix is targeted and cost-effective
11 to 15 years	Multiple wear points	Repair only if the washer is otherwise in great shape

Why it matters

A washer that is kept level and loaded correctly has fewer off-balance interruptions and less stress on key components like the drive and suspension. If you frequently see off-balance behavior, correcting loading habits first can prevent repeat failures.

When a part replacement makes sense

If performance problems are tied to a specific symptom, replacing the right part can extend the washer’s useful life.

Symptom	Common part area to check
Won’t drain or drains slowly	Drain pump
Won’t fill or fills slowly	Water inlet valve
Lid won’t lock or cycle won’t start	Lid lock assembly

You can order model-matched replacement parts from the parts list for this washer, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

Kenmore washer model numbers are grouped so you can identify who built the washer and which design family it belongs to. For Kenmore model 11028133413, the first 3 digits (110) identify the manufacturer group, and the remaining digits narrow down the series and specific variation; confirm the exact breakdown in the owner's manual.

What each section of the model number tells you

Most Kenmore washer model numbers follow a predictable pattern:

• Prefix (first 3 digits): manufacturer identifier (example: 110)
• Middle digits: base platform or series (helps match major parts like the drive system)
• Ending digits: feature set, color, or revision (helps match cosmetic and control parts)
• Full model number: what we use to match the correct parts list and diagrams

Where to find the model number on the washer

Use the model number exactly as printed on the appliance ID tag. Common locations include:

• Under the lid on the top rim of the cabinet
• Along the lid opening near the hinge area
• On the rear of the cabinet
• On the inside wall of the washer cabinet

Why the full model number matters for parts

Even small digit changes can point to different versions of key components.

What you are replacing	Why the model number matters	Example part on this model page
Water fill components	Valve style and electrical connector can vary	Washer water inlet valve W11165546
Drain components	Hose routing and pump mounting can differ	Washer drain pump W10876600
Lid safety components	Lock style must match the control system	Washer lid lock assembly W10810403

Quick tips to avoid ordering the wrong part

• Match all digits in 11028133413, not just the “110” prefix
• Use the parts list for this model first; it is already filtered to your washer
• If you are comparing two similar Kenmore models, compare the last 2 to 4 digits closely
• For broader searching by model number, use Sears PartsDirect

Why it matters

Reading the model number correctly is the fastest way to get the right Kenmore washer parts the first time, especially for fit-critical items like a lid lock, drain pump, or water inlet valve.

Yes, repairing a Kenmore washer is usually worth it when the fix restores reliable operation and costs less than replacing the machine. For Kenmore model 11028133413, many common failures involve serviceable parts (lid lock, drain pump, inlet valve, clutch) and can be repaired cost-effectively using the procedures in the 11028133413 owner's manual.

A practical repair vs. replace checklist

We recommend repairing when most of these are true:

• The washer completes cycles but has one clear symptom (no drain, no fill, won’t spin, lid won’t lock).
• The tub and cabinet are in good shape (no severe rust, cracks, or major leaks).
• The issue points to a single replaceable part such as a valve, pump, or lid lock.
• You can do basic troubleshooting safely (power off, water off) before ordering parts.
• The repair cost is comfortably below the cost of a comparable new washer.

Common repairs that are often “worth it” on this model

These parts are frequently involved in everyday symptoms:

• Won’t unlock or won’t start: washer lid lock assembly W10810403
• Not draining or leaving water in the tub: washer drain pump W10876600
• Not filling or filling slowly: washer water inlet valve W11165546
• Off-balance, banging, or walking: suspension and load distribution checks (see manual)

Symptom-to-part quick guide

Symptom	What to check first	Part that’s commonly replaced
Won’t start, lid error behavior	Lid closes and clicks, lock engages	Lid lock assembly
Won’t drain	Pump runs, hose not kinked/clogged	Drain pump, drain hose
Won’t fill or wrong temp	Screens clean, hoses not reversed	Water inlet valve
Poor spin, burning smell, grinding	Drive/clutch wear	Clutch-related parts

Why it matters

This Kenmore top-loading high-efficiency, low-water design is normal to run with some laundry above the water line, and it can pause for off-balance loads. Using the right cycle, loading in loose heaps, and using HE detergent can prevent “false alarms” that look like failures. The manual also notes an “Ofb” (Off Balance) condition that pauses the cycle until the load is redistributed. For broader parts and repair options by model number, use Sears PartsDirect.
