Kenmore 11047561600 washer Parts

Kenmore washer model 11047561600 is a front-load style machine; its drum capacity is typically in the 3.0 to 4.5 cu. ft. range for this Kenmore platform. For the exact cubic-feet rating used for your unit, confirm it in the 11047561600 manual.

How to get the exact capacity for model 11047561600

Use these checks to find the precise number without guessing:

• Look in the 11047561600 manual under Specifications, Features, or Consumer information.
• Check the model and serial tag around the door opening to confirm the model is exactly 11047561600.
• If capacity is shown in liters, convert to cubic feet using the table below.
• If you only see “load size” terms (small, medium, large), use the cubic-feet range above to compare to other front-load washers.

Liters to cubic feet conversion

Drum volume shown	Equals about
85 L	3.0 cu. ft.
99 L	3.5 cu. ft.
113 L	4.0 cu. ft.
127 L	4.5 cu. ft.

Why it matters

Capacity affects cleaning performance and vibration control. Overloading a front-load washer reduces tumbling action and increases strain on drive and drain components such as the washer drive belt WP8540101 and water pump WPW10730972.

To unclog the drain hose on your Kenmore washer model 11047561600, unplug the washer, drain any standing water, then clear the blockage from the drain path (hose, pump, or filter area) and reinstall all clamps tightly to prevent leaks. Use the 11047561600 owner's manual for the safest access points and panel removal steps.

Step-by-step: unclog the drain hose

• Unplug power and turn off both water supply valves.
• Drain the tub: if the washer is full of water, bail it out or carefully lower the drain hose into a shallow pan to start siphoning.
• Access the drain hose (typically from the rear or lower front service area, depending on the cabinet design).
• Remove the hose from the standpipe and from the washer connection; keep towels and a pan ready.
• Clear the clog:
  • Flush the hose with hot water from a sink or garden hose
  • Push through debris with a flexible brush or small drain snake
  • Check the hose ends for socks, lint, coins, or sludge
• Inspect the pump inlet for debris; a jam here can mimic a clogged hose.
• Reinstall and secure clamps, then run a Drain/Spin cycle and check for leaks.

Parts that commonly cause “won’t drain” symptoms

If the hose is clear but draining is still slow or noisy, these model-matched parts are common suspects:

• Water pump WPW10730972 (pump impeller jammed or worn)
• Washer drain hose extension, 4-ft 285863 (useful if the existing hose is kinked or too short)
• Clamp WP696392 (replace if a clamp is stretched, rusted, or won’t seal)

Quick checks before you take anything apart

• Make sure the drain hose is not kinked behind the washer.
• Confirm the standpipe height is reasonable; most setups work best around 30 to 96 inches.
• Verify the hose is not shoved too far down the standpipe (it can cause siphoning or poor draining).

What to check and what it usually means

What you see	Most likely cause	What to do next
Water drains slowly	Partial clog or kink	Flush hose; straighten routing
Loud buzzing/humming during drain	Pump jam	Inspect pump inlet; consider pump replacement
Leaks at hose connection	Loose/worn clamp	Re-seat hose; replace clamp

Why it matters

A restricted drain hose can leave water in the tub, trigger drain-related errors, and strain the pump and drive system. Clearing the blockage quickly helps prevent repeat clogs and reduces wear on the drain components.
