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. Below are independent repair companies serving Wisconsin Rapids, with those that mention Kenmore first, then the nearest appliance repair companies.
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.
