Kenmore 11027132413 washer Parts

For Kenmore washer model 11027132413, the most reliable reset is a power reset: unplug the washer (or switch off the breaker) for 5 minutes, then restore power. This clears many control glitches and is also the recommended step for certain communication-type errors in the 11027132413 owner's manual.

Quick reset steps (recommended)

• Press Start/Pause/Unlock Lid once to pause the cycle.
• Turn the washer OFF (if your control has an Off/Cancel position).
• Unplug the power cord (or turn the breaker off).
• Wait 5 minutes so the control fully powers down.
• Plug back in, then select a cycle and touch and hold Start/Pause/Unlock Lid for up to 3 seconds to start.

Clearing an error code vs. resetting the washer

Some display codes clear without a full power reset.

What you see	What to do	What it does
F## code on the display	Press Start/Pause/Unlock Lid once to clear, then press again to restart	Clears the code and attempts to resume operation
F6E2 / F6E3 (communication error)	Remove power for 5 minutes, then restore power	Forces the control to fully reboot
Washer pauses or seems “stuck”	Keep the lid closed and let the cycle continue	Many pauses are normal during sensing, wash, rinse, or spin

If the washer still will not run after a reset

These checks fix the most common “no start” complaints on this style of Kenmore top-load washer:

• Confirm the outlet has power; reset the breaker if needed.
• Make sure the lid is fully closed; the washer will not run with the lid open.
• If the load is tightly packed, remove a few items and redistribute evenly.
• If you need to open the lid mid-cycle, press Start/Pause/Unlock Lid and wait for movement to stop before opening.
• If the lid will not lock or unlock, inspect the lid area for items blocking it; a failed lid lock can require replacing the washer lid lock assembly W10810403.

Why it matters

A reset restores normal control logic after a power glitch or communication fault, but it will not correct a mechanical problem (like a lid lock failure, drain issue, or drive system problem). Using the correct reset method helps you avoid unnecessary part replacement and gets you back to washing faster.

The Kenmore washer model 11027132413 is a top-loading high efficiency, low-water washer; its exact tub capacity (cubic feet) is typically listed on the product specification label or in the literature for the unit. For the most accurate capacity reference for your washer, use the 11027132413 use and care guide.

How to find the exact capacity on your washer

Capacity is often printed on the model and serial tag or in the product specs section of the documentation.

• Check the model and serial label (commonly under the lid or along the lid opening).
• Look for wording like “capacity”, “cu. ft.”, or “IEC capacity.”
• If your label is worn, use the model number 11027132413 to match the correct literature.
• If you are measuring for laundry room planning, use the installation spacing guidance in the 11027132413 installation guide.
• Avoid estimating capacity from basket diameter alone; HE low-water designs can look smaller but wash differently.

Typical capacity range for this Kenmore washer style

When the exact cubic feet value is not handy, most Kenmore 110-series HE top-load washers of this design fall into a common mid-size range.

Washer type	Typical capacity range	Best for
HE top-load, low-water (like 11027132413)	3.2 to 4.3 cu. ft.	Medium to large everyday loads
Compact top-load	1.5 to 2.8 cu. ft.	Small spaces, smaller loads

Why it matters

Knowing cubic feet helps us recommend the right cycle choices and loading habits, and it also helps with planning (closet clearances, moving, and matching a dryer). Overloading a smaller-capacity basket can contribute to out-of-balance spinning and extra wear on suspension components.

Your Kenmore washer model number is printed on the appliance’s model and serial tag. On Kenmore model 11027132413, you’ll typically find that tag under the lid opening on the cabinet rim, or on the back of the washer near the power cord and control area; the model number is what we use to match exact parts.

Where to look on a Kenmore top-load washer

Check these common tag locations first:

• Under the lid, along the top edge of the cabinet opening
• On the rear panel of the washer cabinet
• Near the power cord entry point
• Behind the control panel area (visible from the back on some builds)
• On the inside face of the lid (less common)

For diagrams and model identification notes that match this platform, use the 11027132413 owner's manual.

What the model number looks like (and what to write down)

For Kenmore washers, the model number often starts with 110 and is followed by more digits (as in 11027132413). Record these items exactly as shown:

• Full model number (all digits, no spaces)
• Serial number
• Any revision letters (if present)

Quick ID checklist

Item	Example	Why we need it
Model number	11027132413	Ensures correct part fit
Serial number	Varies	Helps confirm production run
Brand	Kenmore	Narrows parts catalog

Why it matters

Kenmore uses the model number to tie your washer to the correct parts list and diagrams. Even small model changes can affect fit for key items like the lid lock, drain pump, or washplate.

If you’re ordering parts after you find the model number, common examples for this model include the washer lid lock assembly W10810403 and washer drain pump W10876600.

To unclog the drain hose on your Kenmore washer model 11027132413, we recommend disconnecting the hose, clearing the blockage, then reinstalling it correctly so it does not create a repeat clog or a long-drain condition. Use the drain-hose installation rules in the installation guide to prevent backups.

Safety first

• Unplug the washer (or switch off the breaker).
• Turn off both water faucets.
• Have towels and a shallow pan ready for water in the hose.
• If the washer is full of water, bail out what you can before moving it.

Step-by-step: unclog the drain hose

1. Pull the washer forward enough to access the drain hose.
2. Disconnect the drain hose from the household standpipe or laundry tub.
3. Check the standpipe or tub drain first; a clogged household drain can force water back into the hose.
4. Disconnect the drain hose from the washer outlet and drain it into a pan.
5. Clear the clog:
   • Flush the hose with hot water.
   • If needed, soak the clogged end in hot water and vinegar, then flush again.
   • Push out lint or debris with a flexible brush (avoid sharp tools that can puncture the hose).
6. Reinstall the hose using the correct routing and height.

Reinstall it correctly (prevents repeat clogs and long-drain)

Your 11027132413 installation specs matter as much as the cleaning:

• Keep about 4.5 in. (114 mm) of hose inside the standpipe.
• Do not force extra hose down into the standpipe.
• Do not lay the hose on the bottom of a laundry tub.
• Use the drain hose form and secure the hose to the standpipe or tub.
• Do not tape over the drain opening.

Quick check table

What we check	What “good” looks like	What it prevents
Standpipe insertion	~4.5 in. into standpipe	Slow drain, siphoning, backups
Hose routing	No kinks, no crushing	Intermittent draining
Household drain	Water flows freely	Water backing up into washer

When the clog is gone but it still drains slowly

If the washer still takes too long to drain (often shown as a long-drain condition), the drain pump can be restricted or failing. For this model, the correct replacement is the washer drain pump W10876600.

Why it matters

A partially clogged drain hose or incorrect standpipe insertion can cause slow draining, error conditions, and water backing up into the tub. Correct hose depth and routing helps the drain pump move water efficiently.

A Kenmore washer typically lasts 10 to 15 years under normal household use. For your Kenmore top-loading high efficiency washer model 11027132413, consistent HE detergent use, avoiding overloads, and fixing drain or balance problems early are the biggest factors in reaching that range (or more). See the 11027132413 use and care guide for the maintenance and operating practices that protect the drive system and suspension.

Typical lifespan and what changes it

Most washers fail early due to wear items and stress from heavy loads, poor leveling, or repeated unbalanced spins.

Common factors that extend life:

• Using HE detergent and the correct amount
• Keeping loads evenly distributed (bulky items balanced with smaller items)
• Leveling the cabinet so it does not walk or bang
• Clearing drain restrictions so the pump is not overworked
• Addressing unusual noise, burning smell, or slow spin quickly

Parts that often drive “repair vs. replace” decisions

On this Kenmore 11027132413 platform, these parts commonly relate to performance complaints that shorten lifespan if ignored:

Symptom	Often involved part	What it affects
Won’t drain, leaves water	Washer drain pump W10876600	Drain-out and spin enablement
Lid won’t lock or won’t start	Washer lid lock assembly W10810403	Safety interlock, cycle start
Banging, off-balance, walking	Damper assembly W11130359	Tub stability during spin

Why it matters

A washer can be mechanically “fine” but still wear out faster when it repeatedly slams into unbalanced spins or struggles to drain. Those conditions increase stress on the clutch, drive assembly, and suspension, which can turn a small issue into a major repair.

Quick checklist to help your washer reach 10 to 15 years

• Use only HE detergent; measure carefully
• Do not pack the basket tight; allow items to move
• Wash bulky items with balancing pieces (towels, similar weight items)
• Verify the washer is level and stable on the floor
• If draining slows, check for kinks or clogs before continued use
