Kenmore 11028132410 washer Parts

Most Kenmore washers, including model 11028132410, average about 10 to 15 years of service life with normal household use and routine maintenance. Actual lifespan varies most with load habits, detergent use (HE), installation, and how quickly small problems are corrected.

What affects lifespan most on model 11028132410

This is a high-efficiency, low-water top-load design; using it the way it was designed helps it last longer. See the maintenance and operating guidance in the 11028132410 use & care manual.

• Using HE detergent only and not overdosing
• Running the Clean Washer cycle regularly (about every 30 loads)
• Avoiding chronic overloading or tightly packed loads
• Keeping the washer level to reduce vibration and suspension wear
• Replacing water inlet hoses every 5 years and checking for bulges or leaks

Signs your washer may be nearing end of life

A single symptom does not always mean replacement, but repeated issues can.

• Frequent off-balance spinning or “walking” even after leveling
• Persistent draining problems or loud pump noises
• Repeated fill issues (slow fill, inconsistent temperatures)
• Odors or residue buildup that returns quickly after cleaning
• Multiple repairs needed within a short period

Maintenance schedule (simple and realistic)

Task	Recommended timing	Why it helps
Clean Washer cycle	Every 30 loads or monthly	Reduces odor-causing buildup and residue
Leave lid open between uses	Every time	Helps dry the tub and reduces mildew risk
Inspect/replace inlet hoses	Inspect periodically; replace every 5 years	Helps prevent leaks and hose failures
Check leveling and vibration	When noise increases	Reduces wear on suspension and drive components

Why it matters

A washer that is maintained and kept level typically runs quieter, cleans better, and avoids the kind of vibration, suds, and drainage stress that shortens the life of key components.

To unclog the drain hose on your Kenmore washer model 11028132410, unplug the washer, protect the floor with towels, then disconnect and flush the hose until water runs freely. Reinstall it without kinks and with the correct standpipe insertion depth.

Step-by-step: clear the clog

• Unplug the washer (or switch off the breaker).
• Turn off both water faucets.
• Pull the washer forward enough to access the rear.
• Put towels and a shallow pan under the drain hose connections.
• Disconnect the hose from the standpipe/laundry tub first, then from the washer.
• Flush the hose with hot water; if buildup is stubborn, soak the end in hot water plus vinegar, then flush again.
• Check the household standpipe or laundry tub drain too; a slow house drain can look like a washer drain problem.

For the correct routing and standpipe setup, follow the 11028132410 installation guide.

Installation checks that prevent repeat drain problems

• Do not push the drain hose too far down the standpipe.
• Do not seal the standpipe opening airtight around the hose.
• Keep the hose from being crushed behind the washer.
• Avoid sharp bends; use a smooth curve into the standpipe.

Quick spec check (model-relevant)

Item	Target	Why it matters
Standpipe insertion depth	No more than 4.5 in. (114 mm)	Helps prevent siphoning and drain issues
Hose condition	No kinks, splits, or soft spots	Reduces clogs and leaks

When the hose is clear but it still won’t drain

If the hose is open and the washer still hums or drains slowly, the restriction is often at the pump inlet area (coins, lint, small socks). On this model, the next part to check is the washer drain pump clean-out filter WPW10215093.

Why it matters

A restricted drain path can leave loads wet after spin, extend cycle time, and strain the drain pump. Clearing the hose and confirming correct drain-hose installation helps the washer finish cycles normally.

For Kenmore washer model 11028132410, the tub capacity in cubic feet is not listed in the model’s provided Use & Care Guide or Installation Instructions, so we can’t confirm an exact cu. ft. number for this specific washer. “110 series” capacity varies widely by design and year.

How to identify capacity for your exact 11028132410

Because the 110-series label covers many different platforms, we recommend confirming capacity using model-specific identifiers rather than a typical range.

• Check the specifications section and model list in the 11028132410 use & care manual
• Look for the model and serial tag (commonly under the lid or on the cabinet) and match it exactly to 11028132410
• If you’re comparing washers, use basket size and load guidance in the manual rather than relying on a cu. ft. estimate

What “110 series” really means (and why it varies)

Kenmore “110” is a prefix used across multiple generations of top-load washers; capacity can differ even when the machines look similar.

What you’re comparing	Why it can change capacity
Different sub-models under “110”	Different tub and basket designs over time
Agitator vs washplate (impeller)	Different usable volume and loading style
Standard vs HE low-water designs	Different fill behavior and load sensing

Why it matters

Using the correct capacity (or the correct loading guidance when capacity isn’t published) helps prevent overloading, improves cleaning and rinsing, and reduces out-of-balance spin issues on HE top-load washers.

For Kenmore top-load washer model 11028132410, the Use & Care Guide does not list a dedicated “reset” button sequence. The most reliable reset for a stuck control state is a basic power cycle, then restarting the cycle normally; see the 11028132410 use & care manual.

What we recommend for this model (power-cycle reset)

• Touch POWER to turn the washer off.
• Unplug the washer (or switch the circuit breaker off).
• Wait 1 minute.
• Restore power.
• Touch POWER, select a cycle, then touch and hold START/PAUSE/Unlock Lid for up to 3 seconds.

If it still won’t start after the reset

This model has a lid-lock safety system and touch controls; these items commonly prevent a start:

• Close the lid fully; the washer won’t run with the lid open.
• If the washer is paused, touch START/PAUSE/Unlock Lid once to resume.
• Verify the outlet has power (the guide specifies a grounded 3-prong outlet).
• Use only HE detergent and avoid overfilling; excessive suds can stop operation.
• If the lid won’t lock or unlock, the lid-lock system may need attention.

When a “reset” points to a part issue

If power-cycling helps briefly but the problem returns, an intermittent lid-lock can be a common cause.

What you see	What it suggests	Next step
Won’t start and lid won’t lock	Lid-lock problem	Inspect/replace washer lid lock assembly W10810403
Stops after lid is left open	Normal safety behavior	Close lid and restart cycle
Stops with lots of suds	Detergent issue	Switch to HE, run Rinse & Spin

Why it matters

The 11028132410 uses electronic controls and a lid-lock self-check at the start of cycles. A power cycle can clear a temporary control glitch, but repeat no-start issues usually trace back to lid lock, power supply, or suds.
