Kenmore 11022442512 washer Parts

Kenmore model numbers are read left to right: the first three digits identify the original manufacturer, and the remaining digits identify the specific product series and configuration. For Kenmore washer model 11022442512, the 110 prefix indicates a Whirlpool-built Kenmore washer.

Where to find the model number on a Kenmore washer

Look for the model and serial tag in one of these common spots:

• Under the washer lid (around the opening)
• On the rim of the cabinet near the lid switch area
• On the back panel
• Along the side of the lid or lid underside

How to decode a Kenmore model number (quick guide)

Here is the practical way we read Kenmore model numbers when matching washer parts:

• First 3 digits: manufacturer prefix (who built it)
• Remaining digits: the exact design family, options, and production variation
• Full model number matters: even one digit difference can change compatible parts
• Use the full number when ordering: it narrows results to the correct diagrams and parts list

Common Kenmore manufacturer prefixes (examples)

Prefix	Common builder	What it means for parts
110	Whirlpool	Many parts cross to Whirlpool-built designs
417	Frigidaire/Electrolux	Different platform and parts system
796	LG	Different platform and parts system
665	Whirlpool	Often used on dishwashers

Why it matters for repairs and parts

The prefix helps identify the underlying design, but the full model number is what ensures part compatibility. For example, if you are diagnosing a no-spin or loud-noise issue on model 11022442512, common repair paths can involve the drive system parts such as the whirlpool washer drive pulley W10721967 or the shift mechanism like the washer actuator W10913953.

Tips to avoid ordering the wrong part

• Match the full model number exactly: 11022442512
• Compare the part name and part ID, not just the photo
• If your washer has multiple versions, use the parts diagram callouts to confirm fit
• When symptoms point to draining problems, check for clogs before replacing parts like the washer drain pump W10919003

Kenmore washer model 11022442512 is a full-size top-load washer; most Kenmore top-loaders in this style measure about 27 to 28 inches wide, 26 to 28 inches deep, and 42 to 44 inches high. For exact clearance planning, we recommend measuring your unit in place.

How to measure your washer (fast and accurate)

Use a tape measure and record the largest point (including knobs and lid overhang).

• Width: left edge to right edge across the cabinet
• Depth: front-most point to the back panel (include hoses if you need total space)
• Height: floor to the highest point (often the console)
• Lid clearance: allow room above to fully open the lid
• Rear clearance: leave space for fill hoses and the drain hose

Typical space and hookup clearances

Even when the cabinet size is similar, installation space can vary based on hoses, drain standpipe, and vibration.

What you’re planning for	Typical allowance	Why it matters
Side clearance	1 in. each side	Reduces cabinet rubbing and noise
Rear clearance	3 to 6 in.	Prevents kinked hoses and drain issues
Lid opening	18 to 24 in. above	Lets you load bulky items easily
Floor space	30 in. x 30 in. area	Helps with leveling and service access

Why it matters

Correct sizing prevents hose kinks, improves draining and spin stability, and makes future repairs easier (for example, accessing the rear panel W11486091 or replacing a leaking fill component like the washer water inlet valve W11210459).

To unclog the drain hose on your Kenmore washer model 11022442512, we unplug the washer, remove as much water as possible, then clear blockages from the drain hose and pump path. Most clogs are lint, coins, socks, or detergent buildup near the pump inlet or hose bends.

Safety and prep

• Unplug the washer (and turn off water valves if you will move it)
• Protect the floor with towels or a shallow pan
• Have a bucket ready; hoses can release a lot of water fast
• Use gloves; debris can be sharp

Step-by-step: clear the drain hose and pump path

• Drain the tub first: bail water out, or use a wet/dry vac on the standpipe or hose end.
• Access the drain hose: pull the washer forward and locate the hose from the pump to the household drain.
• Check the easy blockage points:
  • the hose end at the standpipe or laundry tub
  • any kinked or crushed sections behind the washer
  • the hose bend where it turns upward
• Remove the hose and flush it: loosen clamps, remove the hose, then run hot water through it. Push a flexible brush or small drain snake through to break up sludge.
• Inspect the pump inlet/impeller area: if the hose is clear but draining is still slow, debris is often in the pump housing.

If the hose is split, soft, or permanently kinked, replacement is the reliable fix; use the exact-fit washer drain hose W11244231.

Quick diagnosis guide

Symptom	Most likely cause	What we do first
Hums but won’t drain	Pump jam or blockage at pump inlet	Check pump path, remove debris
Drains slowly	Partial clog in hose or standpipe	Flush hose, clear standpipe
Leaks during drain	Loose clamp or cracked hose	Re-seat clamp or replace hose
Stops mid-cycle with water left	Intermittent clog or weak pump	Clear hose, then evaluate pump

Why it matters

A restricted drain hose makes the washer hold water, spin poorly, and can strain the drain pump. Clearing the blockage restores normal drain and spin performance and helps prevent repeat clogs.

A hard reset on your Kenmore washer model 11022442512 is a simple power reset: unplug the washer (or turn off the breaker) for 2 minutes, then restore power and start a normal cycle. This clears many control glitches without replacing parts.

Hard reset steps (power cycle)

• Press Power/Cancel to stop the cycle.
• Unplug the washer (or switch the breaker off).
• Wait 2 minutes (this lets the control fully discharge).
• Restore power.
• Lift and close the lid once, then run a Rinse/Spin or Normal cycle to confirm operation.

If the washer still will not start after the reset

These checks solve the most common “looks dead” or “won’t run” complaints on top-load Kenmore washers.

• Confirm the outlet has power (test with a lamp).
• Make sure the lid closes firmly and the strike is not cracked.
• If the washer fills but will not agitate or spin, listen for a click from the shifter/actuator.
• If the washer will not drain, check for a clogged pump inlet or a kinked drain hose.
• If the tub will not spin and you hear belt or pulley noise, inspect the drive system.

Parts that commonly relate to “won’t start / won’t run” symptoms

Symptom	What to check	Example part for this model
No response, lid-related errors	Lid lock and lid strike alignment	Washer lid lock W11307244
Won’t drain, stops mid-cycle	Pump and drain path	Washer drain pump W10919003
Won’t shift between agitate and spin	Actuator/shifter	Washer actuator W10913953

Why it matters

A power reset clears temporary control-board logic faults. If the same symptom returns quickly, the washer is usually reacting to a real condition (lid not locking, not draining, or not shifting), and targeting that system prevents repeat shutdowns.

Quick comparison: reset vs. calibration

Action	What it does	When to use
Hard reset (power cycle)	Clears a control glitch	Random stoppage, unresponsive controls
Calibration (if your model supports it)	Re-teaches load sensing and basket movement	Off-balance behavior after repairs or moving
