Kenmore Elite 11028032700 washer Parts

Yes. The Kenmore Elite washer model 11028032700 uses a built-in filtration system (Force Filter Wash/Rinse) that filters the wash and rinse water and flushes trapped sand and dirt down the drain, rather than using a removable lint filter you pull out and clean.

What “filter” means on this washer

This model filters water internally during operation, so you typically will not find a traditional, user-cleanable lint screen.

• Filters 100% of wash and rinse water as the washer runs
• Traps sand and dirt and sends it out through the drain
• Helps keep debris from being redeposited on clothes
• Works automatically; no routine “filter removal” step

For cycle features and cleaning guidance specific to this model, use the 11028032700 owner's manual.

When to suspect a drain or flow problem (not a “dirty filter”)

If you are seeing slow draining, standing water, or poor rinse performance, the issue is usually in the drain path or pump area.

Common checks we recommend:

• Make sure the drain hose is not kinked or pushed too far into the standpipe
• Confirm the standpipe or laundry sink is not clogged
• Check for coins, socks, or debris that can jam the pump
• Listen for the drain pump running during drain portions of the cycle
• If the lid will not lock, the washer may not proceed to spin and drain normally

Parts that commonly relate to draining and operation

If troubleshooting points to a component failure, these parts are commonly involved on model 11028032700:

Symptom	Part to consider	What it affects
Won’t drain or drains slowly	Pump-water W10536347	Moves water out of the tub
Won’t start spin, lid won’t secure	Washer lid lock WPW10619844	Allows safe spin and some cycle steps
Off-balance, excessive vibration	Suspension W10820048	Helps stabilize the basket during spin

Why it matters

Knowing this washer uses an internal filtration system helps you focus on the right maintenance. Instead of cleaning a removable filter, you will get better results by keeping the drain hose path clear and addressing pump or lid-lock issues when symptoms show up.

The Kenmore Elite washer model 11028032700 is typically in the 3.5 to 4.0 cubic feet capacity range for this style of high-efficiency top-load washer. For the exact published capacity for your specific unit, we recommend checking the specifications section in the 11028032700 owner's manual.

How to confirm the exact capacity

Capacity is usually listed in the specs section of the manual or on the model and serial tag.

• Check the specifications pages in the 11028032700 owner's manual
• Look under terms like “capacity,” “basket volume,” or “tub capacity”
• Check the model and serial label (often under the lid or on the cabinet opening)
• If you are comparing machines, measure usable basket space only (not the outer tub)

Typical capacity by washer type (quick reference)

Washer type	Typical capacity range
Compact top-load	2.0 to 3.0 cu. ft.
HE top-load (like many Kenmore Elite models)	3.5 to 4.8 cu. ft.
Front-load	4.0 to 5.5 cu. ft.

Why it matters

Knowing cubic feet helps us match your washer to the right load size and cycle choices, and it also helps when diagnosing issues like out-of-balance spinning, overloading, or poor cleaning performance.

If you are troubleshooting vibration or “walking,” confirm the washer is installed on a level floor and leveled correctly as described in the 11028032700 owner's manual.

To hard reset your Kenmore Elite washer model 11028032700, unplug it (or switch off the breaker) for 1 minute, then restore power and press POWER to restart. If the control is stuck mid-cycle, cancel the cycle first using STOP (often twice) so the washer drains and returns to standby; see the 11028032700 owner's manual.

Quick reset options (what to try first)

• Power reset: Unplug washer for 60 seconds, plug back in, press POWER.
• Cancel and drain reset: Press STOP twice to cancel the cycle and drain, then press POWER.
• Pause and restart: Press STOP once to pause, change options if needed, then press START.
• Control timeout reset: If you press POWER but do not press START within about 5 minutes, the washer shuts off automatically; press POWER again to restart.

Step-by-step: “hard reset” (power cycle)

1. Press STOP once to pause; if you need to fully cancel the cycle, press STOP twice.
2. Turn POWER off.
3. Unplug the washer (or turn off the circuit breaker) for 60 seconds.
4. Restore power.
5. Press POWER, select a cycle, then press START.

If the lid stays locked after a reset

The lid stays locked while the Lid Lock status light is on. Wait for the light to turn off before opening the lid.

• Wait for the washer to finish draining.
• Use STOP twice to cancel and drain if needed.
• Run DRAIN & SPIN if water is still in the basket.

What the buttons do on this model

Goal	Buttons to use	What happens
Restart from standby	POWER	Turns on the display
Pause to add items	STOP (once)	Pauses; lid unlocks after Lid Lock light turns off
Cancel a cycle	STOP (twice)	Cancels and drains
Drain and spin only	POWER, then DRAIN & SPIN, then START	Drains and spins; lid unlocks when complete

Why it matters

A true “hard reset” clears a stuck control state and is the fastest safe way to recover from a frozen display, an unresponsive keypad, or a cycle that will not restart. Canceling and draining first also prevents opening the lid with water still in the tub.

Yes. Kenmore Elite is Kenmore’s higher-end line, and the Kenmore Elite washer model 11028032700 is positioned as a premium washer with added features and longer-term component coverage compared with basic Kenmore models; see the 11028032700 owner's manual for the feature list and use details.

What “high end” means for Kenmore Elite

Kenmore Elite typically indicates a step up in areas that matter day to day:

• More cycle and option choices (better fabric care flexibility)
• Higher-efficiency washing and spinning (better water removal)
• More advanced controls and status indicators
• Heavier-duty internal components on many models
• Longer limited coverage on certain major tub/drum components (model dependent)

Model 11028032700: what we can point to

For model 11028032700, the manual and warranty section describe extended limited coverage on key wash-basket components.

Item	What it tells you	Why it matters
One-year limited warranty	Covers defects in materials/workmanship	Baseline “premium” support expectation
Ten-year limited warranty (stainless steel drum and plastic tub)	Extended coverage on major wash system parts	Signals higher-tier positioning

Why it matters when you’re buying parts or troubleshooting

A “high-end” washer is usually worth repairing when the issue is isolated to a serviceable part (drain, lid lock, suspension) instead of a major tub or bearing failure.

Common repair paths we see on this platform include:

• No drain or slow drain: consider the pump-water W10536347
• Lid won’t lock or won’t start: consider the washer lid lock WPW10619844
• Excessive vibration or off-balance: inspect the suspension W10820048
• Grinding noise or basket play: bearing/shaft service may involve the whirlpool washer tub bearing and drive shaft kit W10435302

Quick “high end” check for your washer

Use these quick indicators to judge where your washer sits in the lineup:

• Stainless steel wash basket and robust outer tub design
• Multiple cycle modifiers and clear status lights
• Higher spin performance (clothes come out less wet)
• Parts availability for core systems (drive, drain, suspension)

A Kenmore washer typically lasts 10 to 15 years with normal household use and basic maintenance. For the Kenmore Elite 11028032700, following the care and cleaning steps in the 11028032700 owner's manual helps reduce wear on key systems like the drive, suspension, and drain.

What affects washer lifespan most

• Load size and balance (frequent overloading shortens bearing, suspension, and drive life)
• Routine cleaning (detergent residue and moisture speed up odor and corrosion issues)
• Water quality (hard water can increase buildup and valve wear)
• Drain performance (slow draining strains the pump and can leave standing water)
• Leveling and vibration control (excess vibration accelerates tub and bearing wear)

Maintenance that adds years (practical checklist)

We recommend these habits for the 11028032700:

• Clean the washer regularly using the “Cleaning Your Washer” guidance in the manual
• Inspect water inlet hoses for bulges, cracking, or leaks; replace at the first sign of damage
• Keep the lid area dry and allow airflow after loads to reduce moisture and odors
• Use the right amount of HE detergent; too much soap increases residue and stress on draining
• Stop chronic out-of-balance loads; redistribute bulky items before spin

Common “end-of-life” symptoms and likely repair areas

Symptom	What it often points to	Example model-matched part
Loud roar or grinding in spin	Tub bearing/drive shaft wear	Whirlpool washer tub bearing and drive shaft kit W10435302
Excessive shaking or banging	Worn suspension components	Suspension W10820048
Won’t drain or drains slowly	Drain pump issue or blockage	Pump-water W10536347

Why it matters

Most washer failures that shorten lifespan come from vibration, moisture, and draining problems. Addressing those early helps protect high-cost assemblies (tub, basket, motor drive) and keeps cycles running efficiently.
