Kenmore 11024972300 washer Parts

Kenmore washer model numbers use a prefix-and-series format: the first 3 digits identify the manufacturer, the next group identifies the base design, and the final digits indicate feature or production variations. For your Kenmore model 11024972300, the 110 prefix is the key identifier.

What each section of a Kenmore model number means

Most Kenmore washer model numbers break down like this:

• First 3 digits (prefix): manufacturer code (who built it for Kenmore)
• Middle digits: base model or platform (the core design family)
• Ending digits: version details (color, feature package, engineering changes)

Quick example using your model

Example model number	Prefix (maker code)	Base model group	Variation digits
11024972300	110	24972	300

Where to find the model number on the washer

On Kenmore top-load washers like 11024972300, the model and serial tag is commonly located:

• Under the lid near the tub opening
• On the rim under the lid
• On the back of the cabinet (less common)

Your 11024972300 owner's manual also references the model and serial number plate location and points to operating suggestions under the lid.

Why it matters for parts and repairs

Kenmore numbers can look similar, but small digit changes can mean different parts (agitator, timer, lid switch, drain pump) or different wiring. Matching the full model number helps us ensure the correct fit and function.

If you are ordering parts, use the complete model number and match it to the parts list for 11024972300 first; you can also search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

To reset your Kenmore washer model 11024972300, disconnect power for 2 to 5 minutes, then restore power and set the timer to a normal cycle to restart the controls. This clears most temporary control or cycle-stall issues.

Quick reset steps

• Turn the cycle selector (timer) to Off.
• Unplug the washer (or switch the breaker off).
• Wait 2 to 5 minutes.
• Restore power.
• Set the timer to Normal and pull the knob (or start the cycle) to run a short test fill and agitation.

If the washer still will not start after a reset

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

• Confirm the lid is fully closed; a failed lid switch can prevent agitation and spin.
• Make sure the timer knob is not between clicks; rotate it slightly and try again.
• Verify the outlet has power (test with a lamp) and the cord is firmly seated.
• If it fills but will not agitate or spin, inspect the drive system parts commonly involved.

Common parts related to “won’t run” symptoms

Symptom after reset	Most common area	Example part for this model
Won’t spin or agitate (motor runs)	Drive coupling	Washer motor coupling 285753A
No spin or intermittent operation	Lid safety circuit	Washer lid switch WP8054980
Won’t drain, stops full of water	Drain system	Washer drain pump WP3363394

Why it matters

A power reset clears a “hung” timer position and lets the washer reinitialize. If a safety device (like the lid switch) or a drive/drain component is failing, the reset may work briefly but the symptom returns, which points to a part issue rather than a control issue.

For cycle and control details specific to this washer, use the 11024972300 owner's manual. For replacement parts, start with the parts list for model 11024972300 on this page, or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

The Kenmore 11024972300 washer is a top-load, direct-drive style machine with a “KING SIZE” capacity basket; that class of Kenmore 110 washers is typically about 3.2 to 3.5 cu. ft. For the exact capacity rating for your unit, check the specifications section in the 11024972300 owner's manual.

How to confirm capacity for your exact washer

We recommend using the manual first because capacity can vary by production run and basket design.

• Look for “Capacity” or “Basket volume” in the specifications
• Check the model/serial plate (often under the lid) and match it to the manual
• If your washer has a porcelain-on-steel basket and “KING SIZE” labeling, it usually falls in the 3.2 to 3.5 cu. ft. range
• If you are comparing to a newer high-efficiency top-load washer, expect those to be rated differently even if the tub looks similar

Typical capacity ranges (helpful for comparisons)

Washer type	Typical capacity range	What you’ll notice
Classic Kenmore 110 top-load (direct-drive)	3.0 to 3.5 cu. ft.	Deep-water fills, center agitator
“Super/King size” labeled versions	3.2 to 3.5 cu. ft.	Better for bulky loads, still agitator-based
Newer HE top-load (impeller or low-profile agitator)	4.0 to 5.5+ cu. ft.	Lower water levels, different wash action

Why it matters

Capacity affects how much laundry you can wash per load, how much water the washer uses, and how well items circulate around the agitator. Overloading a smaller-capacity basket can also increase vibration and wear on suspension components.

Parts that commonly relate to load handling (if performance drops)

If the washer struggles to move loads or spins poorly, these model-matched parts are common suspects:

• Agitator dog 80040 (worn dogs can cause weak or one-direction agitator action)
• Washer motor coupling 285753A (broken coupling can stop agitation and spin)
• Clutch washer WP8299642 (spin performance issues under load)
