A Kenmore dishwasher shares most of its basic parts with other dishwashers, but its filter design, drying system, controls and error codes are specific to the brand. We flag companies whose listing or website mentions Kenmore and fill in with nearby appliance repair companies so you always have options.
This is an independent directory. We are not affiliated with Kenmore, and the technicians listed are independent repair companies, not the manufacturer.
Kenmore dishwashers were made for Sears by several manufacturers over the years, so the model number matters more than the badge. Independent technicians can look up the parts from it.

Most dishwasher calls in Tanaina come down to the same handful of parts: the filter and drain path, the drain pump, the inlet valve, the door latch and the heating parts.
Alaska has no separate appliance repair license category; its certificates of fitness and contractor licenses cover plumbing, gas piping, electrical and construction work rather than appliance repair itself. Source: Mechanical Inspection - License Requirements (Alaska DOLWD)
In Alaska, you can check a license with the Alaska Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing - License Search or report a problem to the Alaska Department of Law, Attorney General's Consumer Protection Unit.
