Kenmore 11028133410 washer Parts

Kenmore washer model numbers (including 11028133410) are structured so the first three digits identify the manufacturer, the next set identifies the base design, and the remaining digits show feature or production variations. For parts matching, we always recommend confirming the full model and serial from the unit label and the 11028133410 owner's manual.

How the Kenmore model number is typically broken down

Most Kenmore model numbers follow this pattern:

• Prefix (first 3 digits): manufacturer identifier (example: 110)
• Middle digits: base model platform or series
• Ending digits: version, color, feature package, or production change

Quick example using your model

Section	Example from 11028133410	What it tells you
Manufacturer prefix	110	Who built the washer for Kenmore
Base model digits	28133	Core platform used for parts lookup
Variation digits	410	Specific configuration or revision

Where to find the model number on the washer

For the most accurate parts lookup, we use the model number exactly as printed on the appliance label.

• Check the lid opening area on top-load washers (often under the lid)
• Look for a label that lists Model and Serial
• Write the number exactly, including all digits
• Use the serial number too when ordering parts that can vary by production run

Why it matters for parts and troubleshooting

Kenmore washers can share a similar “base” model but use different components depending on the variation digits. Using the full model number helps us match the correct lid lock, water inlet valve, drive parts, and control components the first time.

A Kenmore washer typically lasts 10 to 15 years with normal household use. For Kenmore model 11028133410 (a top-loading high efficiency, low-water washer), consistent HE detergent use, correct loading, and basic upkeep help you reach the higher end of that range; see the 11028133410 use and care guide.

Typical lifespan by washer type

Most Kenmore washers fall into these real-world averages:

Washer type	Typical lifespan	Notes
Top-load (traditional)	12 to 15 years	Simpler mechanics often last longer
Top-load (HE/low-water)	10 to 14 years	More sensors and control logic; good maintenance matters
Front-load	10 to 12 years	More wear points (door boot, bearings)

What shortens washer life fastest

We see these issues reduce lifespan more than anything else:

• Overloading the basket (extra strain on drive and suspension)
• Using non-HE detergent or too much detergent (residue, odors, poor rinsing)
• Running unbalanced loads repeatedly (vibration, tub and suspension wear)
• Ignoring slow fills or weak water flow (long cycles, valve stress)
• Letting small leaks continue (corrosion and electrical damage)

Parts that commonly wear over time

If performance changes as the washer ages, these are common repair areas on this platform:

• Lid not locking or cycle not starting: washer lid lock assembly W10810403
• Slow fill, no fill, or fill errors: washer water inlet valve W11165546
• Excessive shaking or banging: suspension/damper components
• Poor agitation or spin performance: clutch/drive components

Why it matters

Knowing the typical lifespan helps you decide whether to repair or replace. If your 11028133410 is under about 10 years old, repairs like a lid lock or inlet valve are often cost-effective; past 12 to 15 years, multiple major issues usually point toward replacement planning.

Kenmore washer model 11028133410 is a top-loading high efficiency, low-water washer; the exact tub capacity (in cubic feet) is listed in the product specifications section of the 11028133410 use and care guide. If you are planning load sizes, most HE top-load washers in this class handle a typical family load comfortably.

Where to find the exact capacity

We recommend using the specifications section in the manual so you get the precise number for your exact model.

• Look for “Capacity” or “Washer capacity” in the specs/features pages
• If the manual lists a model series (for example 110.2813*410), match it to 11028133410
• Use the capacity to choose the right cycle, water level behavior, and HE detergent amount
• If you are comparing to an older deep-fill washer, expect lower water levels by design

Practical load guidance (what it means day to day)

Capacity is helpful, but real-world loading depends on fabric type and how freely items can move.

Load type	Typical guidance for HE top-load washers	What to avoid
Everyday mixed load	Fill loosely to around 3/4 of the basket	Packing items down tightly
Bulky items (bedding)	1 large item plus a few smaller items	Overfilling with multiple bulky items
Towels/jeans	Medium load so items can circulate	Heavy, tightly packed loads

Why it matters

Using the correct capacity helps prevent poor cleaning, out-of-balance spinning, and extra wear on drive components like the clutch and washplate. If you are seeing balance issues, checking suspension parts such as the damper assembly W11130356 can also be part of the fix.
