Kenmore Appliance Repair in Rockford, IL

Updated

Short answer

Kenmore appliances were built by other manufacturers, and the three-digit prefix of the model number tells you which one: Sears PartsDirect gives 790 as Frigidaire-built and 795 as LG (Sears PartsDirect). That prefix decides which parts and which error codes apply. Kenmore's current warranty terms are on its own site and run through Transformco (Kenmore).

Independent service. This site and the technicians it connects you with are not affiliated with, endorsed by or authorized by Kenmore. If your Kenmore appliance is still under the manufacturer's warranty, contact Kenmore first: covered repairs go through its own service network.

Warranty

What Kenmore's warranty covers

Kenmore's warranty page lists coverage by product and directs warranty service through Kenmore (Transformco) authorized channels, with a customer number for claims. It excludes damage from accident, misuse, unauthorized repairs or alterations, and service on an appliance whose model and serial plate is missing or altered (Kenmore).

Model number

Where to find the model and serial number

Sears PartsDirect explains that Kenmore model numbers start with a three-digit prefix identifying the manufacturer, then five digits for the base model, then digits for specific variations; its examples are 790.74333310 (Frigidaire-built) and 79573133411 (LG) (Sears PartsDirect). Write the whole number down including the dot.

Because Kenmore did not build its own appliances, error codes follow the maker. A 795-prefix Kenmore is an LG design, so start with the LG code list; a 790-prefix model is Frigidaire-built, so see Frigidaire. Confirm against your Kenmore manual.
