Kenmore 11021102011 washer Parts

For Kenmore washer model 11021102011, the exact tub capacity in cubic feet is not identified in the model-specific installation information we have available. Most Kenmore 110-series top-load washers of this era are commonly in the 3.2 to 3.5 cu. ft. range.

How to confirm capacity for model 11021102011

Capacity is usually listed in the use and care information or on the model/serial tag, not in the installation instructions. We recommend checking:

• The specifications section in the 11021102011 owner’s manual
• The model/serial label (typically under the lid or around the lid opening)
• Any product literature that came with the washer
• The basket style (standard vs. larger “super capacity” baskets are often visually different)

What “110” means (and what it does not)

“110” identifies a Kenmore washer platform (commonly Whirlpool-built), but it does not reliably tell you the exact cubic-foot capacity by itself. The full model number (like 11021102011) is what matters.

Typical capacity ranges you’ll see

Washer type (common for Kenmore 110)	Typical capacity range
Standard top-load with agitator	3.0 to 3.5 cu. ft.
Larger top-load designs	3.6 to 4.3+ cu. ft.

Why it matters

Knowing the cubic-foot capacity helps you load the washer correctly, choose the right cycle and water level, and avoid overloading that can lead to poor cleaning, out-of-balance spinning, and extra wear on drive components.

If you’re troubleshooting performance issues that feel like “overloading,” common wear items on this model can include the agitator dog 80040 and related agitator components.

Yes. On Kenmore top-load washer model 11021102011, the most serviceable “filter” is the drain pump clean-out filter that helps catch lint and small items before they reach the drain pump. For model-specific safety and access guidance, follow the steps in the 11021102011 installation guide.

What “filter” means on this washer

Top-load washers like the 11021102011 typically do not have a front access lint trap like many dryers. Instead, filtering is usually handled in one of these ways:

• A drain pump clean-out filter (serviceable)
• A self-cleaning lint system that flushes lint out with the drain water
• Small inlet screens at the water valve (to catch sediment from the supply)

If you are troubleshooting draining problems or finding debris, the drain pump clean-out filter is the first place we check.

Where to look and what to do

Before servicing anything, unplug the washer and be ready for water.

• Unplug the power cord
• Turn off hot and cold water supply valves
• Place towels and a shallow pan under the pump area
• Drain any standing water if possible
• Open and clean the washer drain pump clean-out filter WPW10215093

Quick symptom-to-check table

Symptom	Most likely “filter” area to check	What you may find
Washer will not drain	Drain pump clean-out filter	Coins, hair pins, lint, small socks
Slow drain	Drain pump clean-out filter	Lint buildup, debris
Won’t fill or fills slowly	Inlet valve screens	Sand/sediment, scale
Odor or residue	Tub and basket area	Detergent buildup, biofilm

Why it matters

A clogged pump filter can restrict water flow, cause slow draining, and overwork the drain pump. Keeping it clear helps prevent no-drain issues and reduces the chance of leaks around hoses and clamps.

To reset a Kenmore top-load washer model 11021102011, unplug the washer (or switch off the breaker) for 5 minutes, then restore power and try a normal cycle. This clears many temporary control glitches without replacing parts. See the 11021102011 user manual for model-specific control and cycle details.

Reset steps for model 11021102011

• Turn the washer OFF.
• Unplug the power cord from the outlet (or turn the circuit breaker OFF).
• Wait 5 full minutes.
• Plug the washer back in (or turn the breaker ON).
• Lift and close the lid once, then select a cycle and press Start.

If the washer still will not start after a reset

A reset will not fix a failed safety switch or a mechanical problem. Check these common items next:

• Confirm the outlet has power (try a lamp or small appliance).
• Make sure the lid is fully closed and the strike is aligned.
• Look for a stuck or broken lid lock or strike.
• If the tub is full of water, the washer may be stuck in a drain condition.
• If the control is unresponsive, the main control board could be involved.

Parts that commonly affect “won’t start” symptoms

Symptom	What to check	Example compatible part for this model
Won’t start, lid won’t lock	Lid lock mechanism	Washer lid lock assembly W10404050
Lid closes but won’t sense closed	Lid strike alignment/breakage	Washer door strike WPW10240513

Why it matters

Resetting power is the fastest way to clear a temporary electronic control issue on the 11021102011. If the problem returns quickly, it usually points to a lid lock/strike issue, wiring, or the control board rather than a one-time glitch.

A Kenmore washer typically lasts 10 to 15 years. For the Kenmore 11021102011 washer, real-world life depends most on load size, installation (leveling and drain setup), and routine care; following the guidance in the 11021102011 installation guide helps reduce wear that shortens lifespan.

What usually determines whether you get 10 years or 15+ years

We see the biggest lifespan differences come from day-to-day use and a few high-wear systems.

• Overloading (stresses the drive system, basket, and suspension)
• Unbalanced loads (increases vibration and cabinet wear)
• Water leaks (can damage bearings, wiring, and the main control board)
• Poor draining (can overwork the drain pump and leave residue behind)
• Infrequent cleaning (buildup can cause odors and performance issues)

Parts that commonly drive “repair vs replace” decisions

When a washer gets older, these are the types of components that often determine whether a repair is worthwhile.

System	What you might notice	Example compatible part for this model
Draining	Water left in tub, slow drain	Washer drain pump assembly WPW10276397
Lid locking	Won’t start or stops when lid is lifted	Washer lid lock assembly W10404050
Drive	Burning rubber smell, weak spin/agitation	Washer drive belt WPW10006384
Suspension	Excessive shaking, “walking”	Suspension rods (varies by symptom)

How to help your 11021102011 washer last longer

These habits reduce strain on the motor, belt, pump, and tub components.

• Keep loads evenly distributed; wash bulky items in pairs when possible
• Use the right detergent amount; too much can cause buildup and extra rinsing
• Check hoses and connections for drips; replace worn hoses proactively
• If the washer vibrates, re-level it and confirm the drain hose is installed correctly
• Address new noises early (squeal, grinding, banging) before secondary damage occurs

Why it matters

A washer that is level, drains correctly, and is not overloaded runs cooler and smoother. That reduces stress on high-cost components like the drive system and control board, which is the easiest way to reach the 10 to 15 year average (or beyond).
