Kenmore Washer Repair – AKRON, OH (796.41182311)

A washing machine in Akron had stopped draining after the customer washed a blanket that came apart and filled the washer with lint. Our technician found the drain filter and spin basket clogged with debris, preventing proper water evacuation.

The Problem

The customer reported that they washed a blanket that came apart, and now the washer was full of lint and wouldn’t drain. The machine was unable to complete its cycle due to the drainage blockage.

Diagnosis

We found that lint from the disintegrated blanket had clogged both the drain filter and accumulated inside the spin basket. This debris was preventing water from draining properly during the wash and spin cycles.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts needed
• Work performed: Cleared drain filter as well as lint from inside spin basket
• Result: Washer is now operating correctly

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Kenmore washer required only cleaning services with no parts replacement, making it an excellent repair value. Kenmore washers are generally reliable machines, and when the issue is simply debris buildup rather than mechanical failure, repair is always the smart choice.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Washers

• Check and clean the drain filter monthly, especially after washing items that shed fibers
• Run an empty hot water cycle with washer cleaner quarterly to remove buildup
• Inspect items before washing to ensure they won’t shed excessive lint or fall apart
