Kenmore 11028132413 washer Parts

To reset your Kenmore top-load washer model 11028132413, disconnect power for at least 5 minutes, then restore power and try starting a cycle again. This clears many temporary control glitches without changing any cycle settings (see the 11028132413 use & care manual).

Quick reset steps (power reset)

• Press Power to turn the washer off (if it responds).
• Unplug the washer from the outlet.
• Wait 5 minutes (full power-down).
• Plug the washer back in.
• Press Power, select a cycle, then press and hold Start/Pause/Unlock Lid for up to 3 seconds.

If the washer still will not start after resetting

These checks are specific to how the 11028132413 is designed to operate:

• Lid must be closed; the washer will not run with the lid open.
• If the tub was spinning, the lid may take several minutes to unlock.
• Verify the outlet has power; reset the breaker if needed.
• Avoid non-HE detergent or oversudsing; excess suds can pause or stop operation.
• If an error code returns after a reset, follow the troubleshooting steps in the manual.

Common “reset” situations and what to do

What’s happening	What the reset helps	What to try next
Control panel acting frozen	Clears a temporary control fault	Power reset, then restart cycle
Lid won’t lock/unlock	Reboots the control	Remove items from lid area; wait for stop
Washer stops mid-cycle	Clears some interruptions	Check load balance, suds, and lid status

Why it matters

A simple power reset is the safest first step because it can restore normal operation without disassembly or parts replacement. If the washer repeatedly fails to lock the lid, the lid lock system may need inspection.

Your Kenmore top-load washer model 11028132413 does not use a typical, user-cleanable “lint filter” like some older washers. Instead, it relies on the drain pump and internal drain path to move lint and debris out with the wash water; routine maintenance focuses on proper loading and periodic tub cleaning (see the 11028132413 use & care manual).

What “filter” means on this model

On many top-load HE (high-efficiency) washers like 11028132413, the “filter” people refer to is usually one of these:

• A removable lint screen (common on older designs): not typical on this model
• A drain pump clean-out trap (common on many front-load washers): not provided as an easy-access door on this design
• Inlet valve screens (tiny screens where hoses connect): present, but they are not a lint filter

If you suspect a clog, check these first

If your washer is draining slowly, leaving clothes wet, or making gurgling/humming drain noises, we recommend these practical checks:

• Make sure the load is not tightly packed; tight loads can reduce draining and spinning performance
• Run Rinse & Spin (or Drain & Spin if available on your control) to see if draining improves
• Check the standpipe or laundry tub for a slow household drain
• Verify the drain hose is installed correctly (depth into standpipe matters); use the 11028132413 installation guide
• If symptoms persist, the drain pump may be restricted or failing; the compatible replacement is the washer drain pump W10876600

Quick comparison: “filter” types you may be looking for

Item people call a “filter”	Where it is	What it does	User-cleanable?
Lint screen	Tub rim or agitator area	Catches lint	Often yes (not typical here)
Pump trap/clean-out	Front lower access	Catches coins, debris	Often yes (not typical here)
Inlet valve screens	Hose connections	Blocks grit from water supply	Sometimes (with care)

Why it matters

A washer without a simple lint filter can still run great, but small items (coins, hair pins, pet hair clumps) can end up in the drain path. Good pocket-check habits and correct drain hose setup help prevent long-drain issues and wet loads.

For Kenmore washers like model 11028132413, the manufacturer does not publish a specific “life expectancy” in years. In real-world household use, many washers commonly run for roughly a decade or more, but lifespan varies most with installation, load habits, and maintenance.

What we can confirm for model 11028132413

This Kenmore top-load HE, low-water washer is designed for HE detergent and includes maintenance guidance that directly impacts longevity. We recommend following the routine care steps in the 11028132413 use & care manual.

Biggest factors that shorten or extend washer life

• Use only HE (High Efficiency) detergent; avoid over-dosing (excess suds can stress components)
• Load items in loose heaps around the washplate; do not tightly pack
• Run the Clean Washer cycle about every 30 washes (helps control residue and odor)
• Leave the lid open between loads to help the tub dry
• Replace inlet hoses about every 5 years to reduce leak risk (per installation guidance)

Typical lifespan expectations (general guidance)

These are common, non-model-specific ranges many homeowners experience:

Usage level	What it looks like	Typical outcome
Light	1 to 3 loads/week	Often longer service life
Average	4 to 7 loads/week	Often around a decade or more
Heavy	Multiple loads/day	More frequent repairs, shorter life

When parts-related repairs become more common

As washers age, we often see more issues with draining, filling, and balance control. If your 11028132413 won’t drain or leaves clothes wet, a common component to inspect is the washer drain pump W10876600.

Why it matters

Knowing that lifespan is usage-driven helps you decide whether to focus on preventive maintenance now or plan for repairs later. Good loading habits and routine cleaning can reduce wear on the drive system, suspension, and controls.

For Kenmore washer model 11028132413, the exact tub capacity in cubic feet is not stated in the model-specific documents we have for this washer. Because “110” is a large Kenmore model family, capacity varies widely by the full model number and wash system.

What we can confirm for model 11028132413

The use & care information identifies this washer as a top-loading, high-efficiency, low-water (washplate-style) design, but it does not list a cubic-foot capacity.

• It is a top-load HE low-water washer (washplate system)
• Water level is automatically adjusted to load size (no manual water level selector)
• The manual does not provide a “cu. ft.” specification

Reference: 11028132413 use & care manual

How to estimate capacity when cu. ft. is not listed

If you need a practical estimate for load sizing, you can measure the basket and calculate an approximate volume.

• Measure inside basket diameter (inches)
• Measure usable depth (inches) to the highest normal fill line or just below the rim
• Convert cubic inches to cubic feet (divide by 1,728)

What you measure	Why it helps
Basket diameter	Biggest driver of volume
Usable depth	Prevents overestimating
Rim-to-washplate clearance	Helps compare similar top-load designs

Why “Kenmore 110” capacity numbers online can be misleading

Many online answers quote a single capacity (often 3.2 cu. ft. or 4+ cu. ft.), but those figures can apply to different 110-series sub-models.

Common differences that change capacity:

• Agitator vs washplate (impeller) design
• Basket shape and depth
• Model generation and platform

Why it matters

Capacity affects how full you can load the basket, cycle performance, and HE detergent dosing. On low-water HE designs like 11028132413, overloading can also increase off-balance events and leave items less clean.
