Kenmore 11029822801 washer Parts

For Kenmore washer model 11029822801, the model number is on the model and serial number label located under the washer lid. Lift the lid and look for a sticker or metal tag on the top rim or underside area near the opening; the model number is printed there.

Where to look on this Kenmore top-load washer

On model 11029822801, we recommend checking these common label spots first:

• Under the lid on the top rim of the cabinet opening
• Under the lid on the underside of the lid itself
• Along the back edge of the lid opening (near the hinge area)
• On the rear panel (less common for this style, but possible)

For a model-specific reference, see the 11029822801 owner’s manual.

What the model number should look like

Kenmore model numbers are typically a long string of numbers. For this washer, the model number should match:

Item	What you should see
Brand	Kenmore
Appliance type	Washer
Model number format	Numbers only
Example for this unit	11029822801

Tips to avoid mix-ups

If you are comparing labels or ordering parts, these steps help prevent ordering the wrong item:

• Copy the model number exactly as printed (all digits, no spaces)
• Record the serial number too; it helps identify production details
• If the label is worn, take a clear photo and zoom in
• Do not use the number from the control panel or cycle knob area; that is not the model number

Why it matters

We use the model number to match the correct diagrams, installation information, and compatible replacement parts for your exact Kenmore washer. Even small differences in model numbers can change which lid switch, drain pump, or agitator components fit.

Most Kenmore washers, including model 11029822801, average about 10 to 15 years of service life with normal household use. Actual lifespan depends heavily on load size, installation/leveling, water quality, and how quickly small issues are repaired (before they damage major components). See the maintenance and care guidance in the 11029822801 washer user manual.

What affects lifespan the most

• Overloading (stresses the drive system, suspension, and tub)
• Out-of-level installation (increases vibration and wear)
• Hard water and detergent buildup (can cause odors, residue, and poor cleaning)
• Ignoring early symptoms (leaks, grinding, slow drain, no spin)
• Aging hoses (the manual recommends replacing inlet hoses after 5 years)

Signs your washer may be nearing end-of-life

• Loud grinding, repeated off-balance shaking, or “walking” during spin
• Frequent leaks or water found under the cabinet
• Won’t drain or leaves clothes very wet after spin
• Agitation problems (clothes not moving well, poor cleaning)
• Repeated electrical or control issues (intermittent start/stop)

Repair vs. replace: a quick guide

What you’re seeing	Often worth repairing	Often points to replacement planning
Won’t spin because lid safety won’t engage	Washer lid switch assembly WP8318084	If multiple major issues stack up
Won’t drain or drains slowly	Washer drain pump WP3363394	If tub/gear case leaks plus other failures
Agitator “slips” or won’t move clothes	Agitator dog 80040	If transmission/gear case is failing and noisy

Why it matters

Knowing the typical 10 to 15 year lifespan helps you decide when preventive maintenance (cleaning, leveling, hose replacement) is enough, and when it’s smarter to invest in a key repair part or start budgeting for a replacement washer.

For Kenmore washer model 11029822801, the most reliable “reset” is a power reset: unplug the washer for 1 minute, then plug it back in. This clears minor control glitches; this model uses a mechanical cycle control knob, so it does not have a button-sequence electronic reset like many newer washers.

Quick reset steps (model 11029822801)

• Turn the cycle control knob to Off.
• Push the cycle control knob in (washer stops).
• Unplug the washer for 60 seconds.
• Plug it back in.
• Close the lid, select a cycle, then pull the cycle control knob out to start.

For normal start/stop behavior and cycle control details, follow the steps in the 11029822801 washer user manual.

If it still won’t run after a reset

On this model, a “won’t start” symptom is often caused by a power, lid, or timer issue rather than something a reset can fix.

Check these common items:

• Outlet and breaker: verify the outlet has power and the breaker is not tripped.
• Lid fully closed: this washer will not agitate or spin with the lid open.
• Cycle knob alignment: make sure the pointer is lined up with a cycle, then pull to start.
• Water supply: confirm both hot and cold faucets are on.
• Extension cords: avoid using them; plug directly into a grounded outlet.

If the lid switch is suspected (intermittent start, no spin/agitate with lid closed), the compatible part for this model is the washer lid switch assembly WP8318084.

What “reset” can and can’t do

Situation	Reset helps?	What to do next
Random stop or odd behavior once	Yes	Power reset, then retry cycle
Won’t agitate/spin with lid closed	Sometimes	Inspect lid switch and actuator
Won’t advance through cycles	Rarely	Check timer and drive system
No power at all	No	Check outlet, cord, breaker

Why it matters

Resetting correctly helps you avoid unnecessary part replacement and quickly separates a one-time interruption from a repeatable failure (like a lid switch or timer problem).
