Kenmore Elite 11046752700 washer Parts

The Kenmore Elite washer model 11046752700 is approximately 27 inches wide, 38 inches tall, and 31 1/2 inches deep. For installation planning (closet, recessed area, or undercounter), we recommend using the exact clearance and dimension diagrams in the owner's manual.

Dimensions and space you should plan for

These are the washer’s approximate cabinet dimensions from the installation section:

• Width: 27 in (68.6 cm)
• Height: 38 in (96.5 cm)
• Depth: 31 1/2 in (80 cm)
• Recommended clearance: about 1 in (2.5 cm) on each side to help reduce noise transfer

Quick reference table

Measurement	Inches	Centimeters
Width	27	68.6
Height	38	96.5
Depth	31 1/2	80

If you are installing in a closet or recessed area

We size the space so the door can fully open and so there’s room for service access and airflow.

• Plan for extra room in front for loading and unloading
• Allow space for hoses and the drain connection behind the washer
• Consider vented closet door openings if the washer is in a confined closet
• Keep the washer on a sturdy, solid floor (this model’s installation guidance calls for a floor that can support a fully loaded washer)

Pedestal and stacking notes

If you add a pedestal, the overall height increases. The manual lists pedestal options of 10 in or 15.5 in, which raise the washer height to about 48 in or 53 in respectively.

Setup	Added height	Approx. total height
Washer only	0 in	38 in
With 10 in pedestal	10 in	48 in
With 15.5 in pedestal	15.5 in	53 in

Why it matters

Correct sizing prevents installation problems like a door that cannot open fully, kinked fill hoses, poor drain routing, and excess vibration or “walking” during spin.

To unclog the drain hose on your Kenmore Elite washer model 11046752700, unplug the washer, remove as much water as possible, then check for kinks and clear blockages in the drain hose and the tub-to-pump path. The troubleshooting steps in the owner's manual also point to checking for a kinked, frozen, clogged, or overly high drain hose.

Safety first

• Unplug the washer (power off at the outlet).
• Turn off both water faucets.
• Keep towels and a shallow pan ready for spills.
• If the washer was running, let the water cool before handling hoses.

Step-by-step: clear the clog

• Check the easy stuff first: Make sure the drain hose is not kinked, crushed, or pushed too far into the standpipe.
• Lower the drain hose temporarily: If possible, place the hose end into a bucket or floor drain to help gravity drain remaining water.
• Inspect the standpipe or laundry tub drain: A slow household drain can mimic a washer clog.
• Clear the hose: Disconnect the drain hose from the home drain and flush it with hot water; use a small drain snake or flexible brush to push out lint, coins, or small socks.
• Check the pump path: Many “hose clogs” are actually at the pump inlet. Inspect the tub-to-pump hose for debris; if it is damaged or collapsing, replace it with the washer tub-to-pump hose WPW10467168.

What the washer is telling you (common symptom)

If you see a drain-related error such as F21 (Drain Problem), we focus on the same root causes: hose kinked, frozen, clogged, or installed too high.

What you notice	Most likely cause	What to do
Water stays in drum	Hose or pump inlet blocked	Flush hose; check tub-to-pump hose and pump inlet
Drains slowly	Partial clog or restricted hose routing	Straighten routing; clear lint/debris
Intermittent draining	Debris shifting near pump	Recheck for small items at pump inlet

Why it matters

A restricted drain hose can trigger drain errors, leave water in the drum, and cause poor spin performance. Clearing the blockage and correcting hose routing helps protect floors from leaks and prevents repeat clogs.

To hard reset your Kenmore Elite washer model 11046752700, unplug it (or turn off the breaker) for about 1 minute, then restore power and start a new cycle. If the washer is acting up mid-cycle, canceling the cycle using the control panel often restores normal operation.

Control-panel reset (best first step)

Use this when the washer is stuck, won’t respond, or you want to clear the current cycle.

• Press STOP twice to cancel the cycle.
• Press POWER.
• Re-select the desired cycle.
• Re-select any OPTIONS and MODIFIERS.
• Press and hold START for about 1 second to restart.

These steps match the cycle-cancel and restart procedure in the 11046752700 owner's manual.

Power reset (hard reset)

Use this when the control seems frozen or the washer won’t start a cycle.

• Turn the washer OFF.
• Unplug the power cord (or switch the breaker OFF).
• Wait 60 seconds.
• Restore power.
• Select a cycle and press and hold START for about 1 second.

If the door stays locked after a reset

A locked door is often normal if the washer needs to drain or if water temperature or level is high.

• Wait a few minutes for the washer to finish any automatic drain.
• Run DRAIN & SPIN if there is water in the drum.
• Close the door firmly; the door can look shut but not be latched.
• Reduce the load if items are caught at the door opening.

Quick reference

Situation	What to do	What to expect
Need to stop and restart a cycle	STOP twice, POWER, reselect cycle, hold START 1 second	Cycle restarts from the beginning
Controls unresponsive	Unplug 60 seconds, restore power	Control resets, cycle can be selected
Door won’t unlock	STOP twice, then DRAIN & SPIN if needed	Door unlocks after draining/spin

Why it matters

A proper reset clears a stuck cycle and gets the control back to a known state, which helps prevent repeated no-start, locked-door, or mid-cycle cancellation problems without replacing parts.

Yes, repairing a Kenmore Elite washer like model 11046752700 is worth it when the fix restores safe, reliable operation for less than replacing the washer. Common repairs (leaks, door issues, vibration) are often straightforward, and the 11046752700 owner's manual supports ongoing care and troubleshooting.

How we decide if repair makes sense

Use these practical checkpoints before spending money on parts or labor:

• Problem type: Leaks, door won’t lock, or excessive shaking are usually repairable.
• Cost vs. replacement: If the total repair cost is well under the price of a comparable new washer, repair is the better value.
• Safety and usability: If the washer cannot lock, drain, or spin safely, repair first.
• Condition of key components: A torn door boot or weak suspension parts can make the washer seem “worn out” even when the motor and tub are fine.
• Maintenance history: Regular cleaning and hose checks reduce repeat failures.

Common repairs for this model that are often worth doing

These are frequent, high-impact fixes for front-load Kenmore Elite washers:

Symptom	Likely area	Example part for 11046752700
Water leaking at the door	Door seal and clamps	Washer door boot WP8182119, washer door boot spring clamp WP8182210
Door won’t latch or unlocks	Door lock and hinge alignment	Washer door lock WP8183270, washer door hinge WP8183202
Banging, walking, heavy vibration	Suspension and damping	Washer shock absorber W10822553, washer suspension spring set W10135004

Why it matters

A front-load washer that leaks or vibrates can quickly cause bigger problems (floor damage, moldy odors, or broken mounts). Fixing the root cause early, then following the care steps in the manual, typically extends the washer’s usable life and improves cleaning performance.

Smart next steps before ordering parts

• Confirm the symptom happens on multiple cycles, not just one load.
• Check for overloading or an unbalanced load (common cause of vibration).
• Inspect the door seal area for tears, debris, or a loose clamp.
• Review the troubleshooting and washer care sections in the 11046752700 owner's manual.

The Kenmore Elite washer model 11046752700 has a 4.5 cu. ft. wash basket capacity. This capacity helps you handle larger loads and some bulky items while still leaving enough room for proper tumbling and rinsing.

What 4.5 cu. ft. means for everyday loads

A 4.5 cu. ft. front-load washer is considered large capacity.

• Handles typical family-size mixed loads comfortably
• Washes towels and denim loads without packing the drum
• Cleans best when items can tumble freely (do not stuff the drum)
• Bulky items fit better when washed one at a time (comforters depend on thickness)

Quick capacity guide

Use this as a practical way to translate capacity into loading decisions.

Capacity	Common label	Best use
3.0 to 3.9 cu. ft.	Standard to large	Everyday loads, smaller households
4.5 cu. ft.	Large capacity	Families, towels, larger mixed loads
5.0+ cu. ft.	Extra-large	Frequent bulky items, very large loads

Why it matters

Capacity affects cleaning and vibration. Overloading reduces tumbling action, which leads to poor soil removal and rinsing; it also increases out-of-balance spinning that can wear suspension parts such as the washer shock absorber W10822553.

Where to confirm specs and loading guidance

For the official specifications, cycle details, and loading recommendations for model 11046752700, use the 11046752700 owner's manual.
