Kenmore Elite 11042934200 washer Parts

You can find the model number for your Kenmore Elite washer on the model and serial number label; for this washer, it will start with 110 (for example, 11042934200). The label is typically on the door opening area or just inside the front panel; confirm the exact location in the 11042934200 owner's manual.

Common places to check on a front-load Kenmore Elite washer

• Around the door opening (door jamb area)
• Just inside the front panel when the door is open
• Along the edge of the washer opening where the door seal meets the cabinet
• On the back panel near the power cord entry
• On the side panel near the bottom edge

What to write down (and why)

Record these items exactly as shown on the label:

• Model number (example format: 110XXXXXXXX)
• Serial number
• Purchase date

This information helps us match the correct washer parts (like a door lock, water pump, or water inlet valve) and ensures you get the right troubleshooting steps for your exact Kenmore model.

Quick ID guide

To hard reset a Kenmore Elite washer model 11042934200, we power the washer off, fully remove power for a few minutes, then restore power and start a fresh cycle. This clears many control glitches and gets the washer responding normally again; it does not fix a failed part.

Hard reset steps (power reset)

• Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to end the current cycle.
• Unplug the washer (or switch the breaker OFF).
• Wait 3 to 5 minutes.
• Restore power.
• Select a cycle and press and hold START for about 1 second to begin.

For model-specific button behavior (including canceling a cycle and restarting), follow the 11042934200 owner's manual.

If the washer is “stuck” mid-cycle

Sometimes a “reset” is really just canceling the cycle correctly.

• To cancel a cycle: press PAUSE/CANCEL twice.
• If the water level or temperature is high, the washer may drain automatically before the door unlocks.
• To drain manually: press PAUSE/CANCEL, choose DRAIN/SPIN, then press and hold START for about 1 second.

Quick control actions

What you want to do	What to press
Cancel and power down	PAUSE/CANCEL twice
Restart after changes	Hold START about 1 second
Drain water out	PAUSE/CANCEL, DRAIN/SPIN, hold START

Why it matters

A hard reset clears temporary control logic issues (like a frozen keypad or cycle that will not start). If the problem returns quickly, the cause is usually a door lock, drain problem, or water fill issue that needs troubleshooting.

If you suspect a drain problem (won’t drain, long drain, water left in tub), check the water pump 280187 because a weak or jammed pump can mimic “control” problems.

The Kenmore Elite washer model 11042934200 is a front-loading washer, and washers in this Kenmore 110 front-load family are typically about 3.2 to 4.0 cu. ft. capacity. For the exact capacity listed for your unit, check the specifications section in the 11042934200 owner's manual.

How to confirm the exact capacity

We recommend using the manual first because it’s the model-specific source for specs and features.

• Look for a “Specifications” or “Features” section in the manual.
• Check the model and serial label on the washer to confirm you’re matching the exact model.
• If the manual lists multiple models, verify the capacity for 110.429xx variants.
• If you cannot find a capacity line, use the measurement method below to estimate tub volume.

Estimating capacity by measuring the tub (quick method)

If you need a practical estimate for load sizing, you can approximate capacity by measuring the inner basket.

• Measure tub diameter (inside the stainless basket), in inches.
• Measure tub depth (front to back usable depth), in inches.
• Use the formula below to estimate cubic feet.

What you measure	What it means	Used for
Inside diameter	Width of the basket	Tub radius
Usable depth	How deep the basket is	Tub volume
Estimated cu. ft.	Approximate capacity	Load sizing

Formula (approx.): cu. ft. = (π × (radius in inches)² × depth in inches) ÷ 1728

Why it matters

Capacity affects how much laundry you can wash per cycle and how much HE detergent to use. Overloading a front-load washer can increase vibration, reduce cleaning performance, and contribute to drain issues.
