The Problem

The Kenmore washer stops running at time and does not spin all the water out of the cloths. The dryer just needs serviced and checked out to ensure proper operation.

Diagnosis

Inspection revealed a blocked screen on the cold water inlet of the washer, restricting water flow and affecting the wash cycle. The dryer had significant lint buildup in the front area and the lint screen needed thorough cleaning.

The Repair

Is It Worth Repairing?

Kenmore washers and dryers are generally reliable machines that respond well to proper maintenance. These models are worth servicing when the issues are primarily maintenance-related like clogged screens and lint buildup. Regular cleaning and minor part replacements can extend their service life significantly.
