Kenmore 11026932691 washer Parts

Your Kenmore washer model number is printed on the model and serial number plate; for model 11026932691, use that exact number when ordering parts or looking up troubleshooting steps. On most Kenmore top-load washers, the plate is found under the lid or on the washer cabinet.

Where to look on Kenmore washers

Check these common locations first:

• Under the lid, around the tub opening (top-load washers)
• On the washer cabinet rim under the lid
• On the back panel near the power cord entry
• Behind or near the control console area
• Inside the lid area on a sticker or metal plate

What the model number looks like (and why it matters)

Kenmore washer model numbers are often long and may start with 110. Using the full model number helps us match the correct diagrams and parts, such as a lid switch or drive components.

What to record	Example for this washer	Why we need it

Tips to avoid ordering the wrong part

• Copy the model number exactly as shown (all digits, no spaces)
• Record the serial number from the same plate
• If the label is worn, take a clear photo and zoom in
• Match parts by model, not by appearance alone
• Use the model number when checking common repairs (for example, a no-start issue can involve the washer lid switch WP3949238)

Why it matters

A Kenmore washer typically lasts 10 to 15 years. For your Kenmore 11026932691 top-load washer, consistent care (proper loading, correct detergent, and routine cleaning) helps you reach the high end of that range; heavy overloading and chronic vibration shorten it.

What affects lifespan the most

• Load size and balance: frequent overloading or off-balance loads increase wear on the drive system and suspension.
• Spin and agitation stress: hard, repeated heavy cycles accelerate clutch and gearcase wear.
• Drain performance: slow draining strains the pump and can leave water that causes odor and corrosion.
• Lid switch reliability: a failing lid switch can stop spin cycles and lead to repeated restarts.
• Routine care: following the safety and operating guidance in the 11026932691 owner's manual reduces avoidable damage.

Quick signs your washer is nearing end-of-life

• Loud grinding during spin (often drive train or bearing related)
• Agitator moves poorly or “ratchets” (common wear item)
• Tub bangs or walks (suspension issues)
• Intermittent no-spin with lid closed (switch problems)
• Persistent leaks from the tub area

Common repairs that can extend life (and when they make sense)

Symptom	Common fix	Typical value call
Won’t spin or drains poorly	Replace drain pump	Good repair if tub and transmission are solid
No spin, acts “dead” mid-cycle	Replace lid switch	Good repair; fast and cost-effective
Weak agitation	Replace agitator dogs	Good repair; inexpensive wear item
Burning smell, poor spin engagement	Replace clutch	Good repair if gearcase is quiet

Model-matched parts customers often replace include the washer lid switch WP3949238, washer drain pump WP3363892, and agitator dog 80040.

Why it matters

A washer that is maintained and repaired early usually avoids secondary damage (for example, repeated off-balance spinning can stress the gearcase, basket drive, and suspension). That keeps your Kenmore 11026932691 running longer and more quietly.
