Kenmore owners in Washington usually want two things from a repair company: experience with the brand and quick access to parts. The Washington list starts with companies that name Kenmore, followed by other appliance repair companies that work on dishwashers.
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.
