Common problems
Sound familiar?
These are the washer problems David sees most often in Broward County, and what usually causes them.
Won't spin or drain
On Whirlpool-built Kenmores, it's usually a clogged drain pump or a worn motor coupler; David clears the pump or replaces the coupler.
Won't fill with water
The dual water inlet valve is scaled shut, or a solenoid has failed; David tests both coils and replaces the valve.
Lid won't lock or cycle stalls
The lid lock/switch assembly has failed, so the washer won't start the spin; David replaces the striker and switch.
Fills but won't agitate
On direct-drive Kenmores, the cause is stripped agitator dogs or a cracked drive block; David rebuilds the coupling.
Loud grinding on spin
The tub bearing has washed out and rusted; David presses in a new bearing and seal kit.
Walks or bangs across the floor
Worn suspension rods or a stretched spring pack let the tub swing; David restores balance.
Leaking water underneath
It's usually a torn door boot on front-loaders or a cracked pump housing; David finds the source and seals it.
Stops mid-cycle with a "Sud" error
Sud or Sd means the washer detected too many suds and runs extra steps to break them down. The usual cause is too much detergent or detergent that isn't HE. If the code keeps coming back with the right detergent, David checks the drain hose and pump.
Stuck, won't advance the cycle
On vertical-modular Kenmores, a failed shift actuator can't switch between wash and spin; David replaces it.
Dead: no lights or response
A surge-fried main control board or a broken lid switch cuts all power; David finds the fault and repairs it.

Why it breaks
What actually goes wrong
Here's the honest truth most repair shops won't tell you: Kenmore doesn't build washers. A 110 prefix means Whirlpool, 796 means LG, and 417 means Frigidaire. Guess wrong, and the part won't fit. David decodes your model number first, so he works on your Kenmore washer knowing who really built it.
Because Kenmore rebadges machines from three makers, failures follow whichever manufacturer built yours. Broward's hard water scales up inlet valves and cakes the pump, while lint and coins jam the drain impeller. Summer power surges kill control boards. On direct-drive models, the plastic motor coupler and agitator dogs wear out, and front-loaders lose tub bearings and suspension rods to years of off-balance, high-speed spins.

What customers say about David
Highly recommend! He was incredibly responsive and reliable, and was able to come out quickly to fix my dishwasher. He clearly explained the issue and walked me through the repair process so I understood exactly what was going on. What really stood out was that he went above and beyond by giving me helpful tips on ongoing maintenance for my other appliances to help prevent future problems. Honest, knowledgeable, and professional. I wouldn’t hesitate to call him again.
I can’t thank David enough for fixing my oven. My neighbor recommended him, and I’m so glad they did. He was quick to respond, explained exactly what was going on, ordered the parts, and got everything working again. Reliable, easy to work with, and clearly knows what he’s doing. Highly recommend.
David was on time, friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He knew exactly how to fix the burner on our stovetop, and gave us some helpful advice for the future.

FAQ
Common questions about washer repair
How do you know which brand actually made my Kenmore?
The first three digits of your model number tell David who built it: 110 is Whirlpool, 796 is LG, and 417 is Frigidaire. He decodes it before arriving, so the repair starts on the right platform.
Is the lid lock or the control board worth repairing?
Almost always. A lid lock, actuator, or inlet valve costs far less than a new washer. David gives an honest, no-upsell answer.
Do you fix both top-load and front-load Kenmore washers?
Yes. From direct-drive top-loaders with worn couplers to front-loaders with torn door boots and bad tub bearings, David repairs every Kenmore configuration.
