Kenmore 1105072010 washer Parts

To hard reset your Kenmore washer model 1105072010, unplug it (or switch off the breaker) for 1 minute, then restore power and try a normal cycle. This clears many control glitches like a frozen panel, cycle stopping, or a no-start condition.

Quick hard reset steps (recommended first)

• Press Power/Cancel to stop the cycle.
• Unplug the washer (or turn the breaker OFF).
• Wait 60 seconds.
• Plug back in (or turn breaker ON).
• Wait 30 seconds for the control to stabilize.
• Select a Rinse/Spin or Drain/Spin and press Start.

If you need model-specific control behavior or button functions, use the 1105072010 owner's manual.

If the washer still will not run

A “reset” will not fix a mechanical or safety-interlock problem. These checks usually find the real cause:

• Confirm the outlet is grounded 3-prong and not on an extension cord.
• Make sure the lid closes fully; a failed lock can prevent starting.
• Check that the washer is level; severe out-of-balance can stop or interrupt cycles.
• Verify water faucets are fully open and hoses are not kinked.
• If it will not drain, check for a blockage at the pump or drain hose.

Symptom after reset	Most common area to check	Example part for this model
Won’t start, lid won’t lock	Lid lock system	Washer lid lock assembly W10404050
Hums but won’t drain	Drain pump or drain path	Washer drain pump assembly WPW10276397
Fills slowly or not at all	Water inlet valve/screens	Washer water inlet valve WPW10432353

Why it matters

A hard reset restores the control board’s “baseline” state, which helps after power flickers or a stalled cycle. If a safety device (like the lid lock) or a drain issue is present, the washer will keep protecting itself until that condition is corrected.

Installation-related issues that look like “needs a reset”

If the washer is newly installed or recently moved, setup problems can mimic control trouble. Our 1105072010 installation guide covers key items like removing shipping materials, connecting the drain hose, and leveling the washer to reduce noise and vibration.

To identify a Kenmore washer model, we look for the model/serial tag on the machine and match the full model number exactly (for this unit, 1105072010). The tag is usually on the lid opening, under the lid, or on the rear panel; the 1105072010 owner's manual also shows where to record it.

Where to find the model number tag

Check these common locations first (top-load and many Kenmore-built designs):

• Under the lid, around the tub opening (lid frame)
• On the underside of the lid
• On the back of the cabinet near the power cord
• Inside the control console area (less common)
• On the rear panel area (if accessible)

What to write down (and why)

Record the information exactly as printed so we can match diagrams, parts, and troubleshooting steps.

• Model number (example: 1105072010)
• Serial number (helps with production run and revisions)
• Type (washer) and brand (Kenmore)
• Any suffixes or additional digits/letters (do not drop them)

Quick ID checklist

Item on tag	What it’s used for	Tip
Model number	Correct parts lookup	Match every digit exactly
Serial number	Version/date range	Take a clear photo
Electrical ratings	Installation and safety checks	Compare to outlet/circuit

If the tag is missing or unreadable

Use these practical options to confirm the model:

• Look for a second sticker on the rear cabinet
• Check your purchase/installation paperwork; many guides include a “Model number” line to fill in
• Take a photo of the control panel and tub area, then compare to the feature layout in the installation guide

Why it matters

Kenmore model numbers often look similar, but small differences change the correct parts (like a lid lock, drain pump, or actuator) and the right repair steps. Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong component.

Yes, it’s usually worth repairing a Kenmore washer, including model 1105072010, when the fix restores safe, reliable operation for less than the cost of replacing the machine. We focus first on the failure type (drive, drain, lid lock, or controls) and the expected longevity of that repair.

A simple way we decide: repair vs. replace

Use these practical checkpoints before spending money on parts or labor:

• Repair it when the washer is otherwise in good shape and the issue is a common wear item (belt, pump, lid lock, actuator).
• Repair it when the problem is isolated (no burning smell, no repeated electrical failures, no major tub damage).
• Consider replacing when multiple major systems are failing (gear case plus motor plus control board).
• Consider replacing when the washer has severe corrosion, chronic leaks, or repeated out-of-balance damage.
• Always repair safely; follow grounding and installation safety guidance in the installation guide.

Typical repair cost impact (what usually makes sense)

Here’s how common repairs generally stack up for a top-load Kenmore like 1105072010.

Repair type	Common symptom	Parts often involved	Usually worth it?
Drain system	Won’t drain, water left in tub	Washer drain pump assembly WPW10276397, drain hose	Yes
Spin/drive	Won’t spin, weak agitation	Washer drive belt WPW10006384, actuator	Yes
Lid/lock	Won’t start or spin, lid won’t lock	Washer lid lock assembly W10404050	Yes
Major drivetrain	Loud grinding, no agitation/spin	Gear case, drive components	Depends
Electronics	Dead panel, erratic behavior	Control board, harness	Depends

Why it matters

A targeted repair can extend the life of your washer for years, but a “stacked” failure (multiple high-cost parts at once) can push the total close to replacement cost. Starting with the right diagnosis prevents buying the wrong part.

What we recommend doing first

• Confirm the symptom (no drain, no spin, no agitation, no power, leaking).
• Check installation basics that affect performance (leveling, drain setup, power grounding) using the installation guide.
• If the washer won’t spin, inspect the lid lock function and belt condition.
• If it won’t drain, check the pump area and drain hose for clogs.
• Price the likely parts and compare to a replacement washer budget.

On the Kenmore 1105072010 washer, the OE code means the washer is not draining water out of the tub within the expected time, so the cycle may stop before it can spin.

What to check first (fast fixes)

• Make sure the drain hose is not kinked, crushed, or pushed too far down the standpipe.
• Confirm the standpipe or laundry tub drain is not clogged or backing up.
• Reduce oversudsing; too much detergent can slow draining and confuse water-level sensing.
• Pause the cycle and let the washer sit 5 minutes, then restart Drain/Spin.
• Verify the washer is installed on a level floor; excessive movement can interrupt draining and spinning.

Likely causes and the parts that commonly fix them

If the basics look good, OE usually points to a restriction in the drain path or a weak/failed pump.

Symptom you notice	Most common cause	What to inspect/replace
Hums but won’t drain	Pump jammed or failing	Washer drain pump assembly WPW10276397
Drains slowly	Partial clog in hose or pump	Washer drain hose W11244231 and pump inlet/outlet ports
Won’t spin after OE	Water not fully drained, lid not locking	Washer lid lock assembly W10404050 (only if lid won’t lock)

Why it matters

The washer will not spin properly with water still in the tub. Fixing the drain issue prevents wet loads, reduces strain on the drive system, and helps avoid repeat error codes.

Installation details that affect draining

Proper drain setup and clearances help prevent siphoning and slow-drain problems. Use the spacing and installation requirements in the 1105072010 installation guide.

A Kenmore washer typically lasts 10 to 15 years. For Kenmore model 1105072010, proper installation, avoiding overloads, and routine care help you reach the longer end of that range; neglected maintenance and repeated out-of-balance loads shorten it.

Typical lifespan and what affects it

Most washers land in the same general window, but real-world life depends on use and conditions.

• Loads per week: more cycles equals faster wear on the drive system and suspension
• Overloading: strains the gear case, drive belt, and motor
• Out-of-balance spinning: increases wear on the basket support and can loosen fasteners
• Water quality: sediment can stress the inlet valve and pump
• Installation conditions: a solid, level floor reduces vibration and component fatigue

Quick maintenance habits that extend life

Use these habits along with the care guidance in the 1105072010 owner's manual.

• Keep loads evenly distributed (mix large and small items)
• Use the right detergent amount to reduce residue buildup
• Periodically run a cleaning cycle (or hot wash with an approved cleaner)
• Check fill hoses for bulges or leaks; replace if worn
• Level the washer and re-check if it starts vibrating more than normal

Common wear items (and what they usually look like when failing)

These parts are often involved when performance drops on top-load washers.

Symptom	Common cause	Example part for this model
Won’t spin or weak spin	Worn/slipping belt	Washer drive belt WPW10006384
Won’t drain or drains slowly	Pump obstruction or failing pump	Washer drain pump assembly WPW10276397
Won’t fill or fills slowly	Inlet valve screen clogged or valve failing	Washer water inlet valve WPW10432353
Lid won’t lock, won’t start/spin	Lid lock failure	Washer lid lock assembly W10404050

Why it matters

A washer that is level, correctly installed, and not overloaded runs with less vibration and heat. That reduces stress on the drive system, pump, and controls, which is the difference between a washer that lasts closer to 10 years and one that reaches 15.
