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.
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.
