Kenmore Washer Repair – Canton, OH (110.28522701)

A Kenmore washer in Canton, OH wouldn’t start when the customer pressed the controls. Our diagnostic revealed the temperature selector control had failed, but the customer decided to purchase a new washer instead of proceeding with the repair.

The Problem

The customer reported their Kenmore washer can’t start. No matter what settings they selected, the machine remained unresponsive when they tried to begin a wash cycle.

Diagnosis

During our December 21st service call, we determined the temperature selector control needed replacement. This component controls the water temperature settings and is essential for the washer’s startup sequence.

The Repair

• Parts needed: Temperature selector control
• Customer decision: Going to buy a new washer
• Result: No repair performed — customer opted for replacement

Is It Worth Repairing?

For older Kenmore washers like this 110 series model, the decision between repair and replacement often comes down to the machine’s overall condition and age. When multiple components start failing, replacement can make more financial sense than continuing repairs.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Washers

• Clean the control panel monthly with a damp cloth to prevent buildup that can interfere with selector switches
• Avoid overloading the washer, which can stress control components and door mechanisms
• Leave the lid open after cycles to air-dry and prevent moisture damage to electrical controls
