Kenmore Elite Washer Parts

The Noise Filter Assembly is an OEM part for LG washing machines, designed to minimize electrical noise interference within the appliance. This essential component ensures that the washer operates smoothly without emitting disruptive sounds that can affect both the performance of the washer and the comfort of your home environment. 

Causes of a bad Noise Filter Assembly can range from wear and tear over time to exposure to power surges or electrical spikes, which can damage the internal components of the filter. 

Symptoms of a bad Noise Filter Assembly include:

• Increased electrical noise or buzzing sounds emanating from the washer
• Intermittent disruptions in the washer's performance
• The washing machine failing to start or experiencing power fluctuations

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

The Pump Casing is an OEM replacement part for LG top-load washing machines. This casing houses the water pump, providing a protective enclosure that shields the pump from debris and external factors. The casing is designed to fit snugly around the pump, helping to maintain its position and function within the washing machine.

Causes of casing failure can include cracks or leaks from repetitive pressure fluctuations exerted during machine operation. Casings experience extensive mechanical stresses.

Symptoms of a compromised casing include:

• Water leaks near or below the pump assembly
• Noisy or grinding pump noises during water fills or drainage
• Error codes related to water flow issues

This casing fits LG top load models as well as some Kenmore configurations. 

The Rotor Assembly is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This component is critical for the proper functioning of the washer's motor, helping to rotate the drum during the wash and spin cycles. It works in conjunction with the stator to generate the necessary magnetic fields for drum rotation.

Causes of a bad rotor assembly can include excessive wear over time, exposure to heavy loads, or physical damage due to mishandling. A malfunctioning rotor assembly can hinder the washer’s ability to spin and agitate effectively.

Symptoms of a bad rotor assembly include:

• The drum not spinning or agitating properly
• Unusual noises such as grinding or clunking during operation
• Error codes related to motor issues displayed on the control panel
• The washer not completing wash cycles correctly

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.

The Coupling Washer is a genuine OEM part for LG washing machines. As a crucial component connecting the drive motor to the inner drum, the coupling washer allows for the transmission of rotational force during the spin cycle. This rotational movement generated by the drive motor is what extracts water from clothing, effectively drying clothes. 

Symptoms of a bad coupling washer include:

• The washing machine fails to spin or rotates very slowly
• Vibrations and noise during spinning
• Rubber couplings tearing or shredding prematurely

Over time, the constant exposure to vibrations and forces during spin cycles can cause the rubber material of the coupling washer to deteriorate. 

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore washers.

The Float Assembly is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This part monitors and controls the water level within the appliance. It's a safety feature that prevents water overflow and potential flooding, contributing to the efficient operation of the washing machine by maintaining the correct water level for each cycle.

Causes of a bad Float Assembly can vary from simple blockages that prevent the float from moving freely to electrical faults within the switch mechanism. 

Symptoms of a bad Float Assembly include:

• Water overflowing from the washing machine
• Inadequate water levels that affect the washing cycle's effectiveness
• The washing machine failing to start the fill cycle due to a malfunctioning float switch

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

The Bearing Ball is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This component plays a crucial role in the smooth operation of the washer drum, enabling it to rotate quietly and efficiently during the wash and spin cycles.

Causes of a bad bearing ball can include regular wear and tear, exposure to heavy loads, or insufficient lubrication. Over time, these factors can lead to deterioration and reduced performance of the bearing ball, potentially causing the washer drum to spin improperly or not at all.

Symptoms of a bad bearing ball include:

• Loud rumbling or grinding noises during the wash or spin cycles
• The drum not spinning or spinning unevenly
• Increased vibration or movement of the washer
• Leaks from the drum area due to damaged seals

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.

The Water Inlet Valve Filter Screen is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This filter screen is designed to fit inside the water inlet valve, ensuring that debris and sediment are filtered out before the water enters the washing machine. This helps maintain clean water flow and protects the internal components of the washing machine from damage caused by particles.

Causes of a bad Water Inlet Valve Filter Screen can include clogging due to sediment buildup, damage from high water pressure, or wear and tear over time. Regular inspection and cleaning can help prolong the life of the filter screen.

Symptoms of a bad Water Inlet Valve Filter Screen include:

• Reduced water flow into the washing machine
• Long fill times or failure to fill
• Sediment or debris found in the wash water
• Error codes related to water intake issues

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

This three coil solenoid is used for the cold water, bleach dispenser and prewash.

The Pump Assembly, Drain is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This pump assembly is responsible for removing wastewater from the washer's tub during the drain cycle, ensuring efficient drainage and preparation for subsequent wash cycles.

Causes of a bad drain pump can include wear and tear from regular use, blockages from debris or lint, or electrical failures. A malfunctioning drain pump can lead to improper drainage and water remaining in the tub after the wash cycle.

Symptoms of a bad pump assembly include:

• The washer not draining water properly
• Standing water in the tub after a cycle is complete
• Unusual noises during the drain cycle
• Error codes related to drainage issues

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.

The Motor Rotor Assembly is an OEM part for LG washing machines.
