Kenmore 11026422500 washer Parts

Your Kenmore washer model number is printed on the model and serial number label; on Kenmore model 11026422500, that label is located under the washer lid. Once you have the full model number, we can match the correct parts list, diagrams, and repair instructions for your exact washer.

Where to look on Kenmore washers

Most Kenmore washers place the model/serial label in one of these spots:

• Top-load washers: under the lid (often along the rim of the tub opening)
• Front-load washers: inside the door opening (around the door frame)
• Some models: on the back panel near the power cord or control area

For model-specific label location and recording details, use the 11026422500 owner's manual.

What the model number looks like (and what to write down)

We recommend recording the full model number exactly as shown, plus the serial number.

Item on label	What it’s used for	Example format
Model number	Ensures parts fit and diagrams match	110.XXXXXXXX
Serial number	Helps identify production run details	Letters and numbers
Purchase date (optional)	Helpful for maintenance tracking	Month/day/year

Quick tips to avoid ordering the wrong part

• Copy the model number character-for-character (include all digits)
• Use the model number, not the cycle names on the console
• If the label is worn, clean it gently and use a flashlight at an angle
• Match parts by model first, then confirm by part name and diagram location

Why it matters

Kenmore washers share similar styling across many series, but internal components (like the lid switch, drain pump, or motor coupling) can vary by model. Using the exact model number keeps you aligned with the correct Kenmore 110 parts breakdown and compatible replacements.

A Kenmore washer typically lasts 10 to 15 years with normal household use. For Kenmore model 11026422500, consistent care (balanced loads, no overloading, correct detergent and bleach use) helps you reach the upper end of that range; heavy use and neglected maintenance shorten it. See the 11026422500 owner's manual for model-specific care guidance.

What affects washer lifespan the most

These are the biggest factors we see that change how long a top-load Kenmore washer lasts:

• Overloading or unbalanced loads (loads should move freely during washing)
• Frequent heavy-duty cycles and back-to-back loads (more wear on drive components)
• Water quality (sediment can stress the inlet valve and pump)
• Drain issues (coins, lint, or small items can strain the pump)
• Agitation performance problems that cause repeated rewashing (extra wear)

Maintenance habits that help you get 10 to 15 years

Use these practical habits to reduce wear on the basket, gearcase, clutch, and motor system:

• Keep loads evenly distributed; mix large and small items
• Avoid packing the tub; the load should move freely
• Use the recommended amount of detergent and add chlorine bleach correctly (never directly onto clothes)
• Check pockets to prevent debris from reaching the drain system
• If draining slows, inspect the drain path early to protect the washer drain pump WP3363394

Common wear items and what symptoms look like

Symptom	Often related to	Example part for this model
Won’t drain or drains slowly	Pump obstruction or failing pump	Washer drain pump (WP3363394)
Won’t spin or stops when lid opens	Lid switch not sensing closed lid	Washer lid switch assembly (WP8318084)
Agitator moves poorly or “ratchets”	Worn agitator dogs/cam	Agitator dog (80040)

Why it matters

A washer that is overloaded or run with chronic draining or spinning problems wears out drive and water-handling parts faster. Fixing small issues early often prevents bigger failures and extends the service life of your Kenmore 11026422500.

The Kenmore washer model 11026422500 is a top-load design; washers in this Kenmore 110 series typically fall in the about 3.2 to 3.5 cubic feet capacity range. For the exact capacity rating for your specific unit, confirm it in the 11026422500 owner's manual.

How to confirm the exact capacity for model 11026422500

Capacity is usually listed in the specifications section or product information pages of the manual. We recommend checking these spots first:

• Specifications or product dimensions/capacity section
• Model and serial information page (sometimes lists capacity or tub size)
• Any feature overview page describing load size
• If your washer has multiple tub/basket options, verify the basket type listed

Typical capacity range (what it means in real use)

Here is a practical way to interpret the common capacity range for Kenmore 110 top-load washers:

Capacity (cu. ft.)	Typical load size	Best for
~3.0 to 3.2	Medium	Everyday mixed loads, towels
~3.3 to 3.5	Medium-large	Larger towel loads, bedding (not bulky comforters)
3.6+	Large	Bulkier items and larger family loads

Why it matters

Knowing the cubic feet helps us match the right wash load size and avoid overloading, which improves cleaning and reduces wear on drive components like the clutch and motor coupling.

Related setup note (helps performance)

A properly installed and leveled washer runs more smoothly and handles loads better. For spacing, leveling feet, and location requirements, follow the 11026422500 installation guide.
