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. The Poquoson list starts with companies that name Kenmore, followed by other appliance repair companies that work on dishwashers.
Independent listings only: Dishwasher Repairs is not affiliated with or endorsed by Kenmore. If your dishwasher is still under manufacturer coverage, contact Kenmore directly.
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.
