Kenmore manufactures nothing. Whirlpool, LG, Frigidaire, GE, Broan, Roper and Bosch built the appliances wearing this badge, and the first three digits of the model number say which. That decides the parts, the diagnostic sequence and whether there is a code table to read at all. That is why we ask for it before anything else, and why it opens every page on this site. 33 — jobs with a published figure 10 — appliance types we cover 7 — manufacturers behind one badge from $95 — diagnostic, credited to the repair ## The work in each job, and the floor it starts from Treat each number as a floor rather than a quote: it reflects what this equipment and this labor go for in South Florida. Exact cost is confirmed after an on-site diagnostic, and you agree to it in writing before a panel comes off. There is nothing on this page yet. Give us three digits off the rating plate and a sentence about the behavior, and a list is not needed. ## A Kenmore part number is not the number the factory used Every part on a Kenmore is catalogued by the company that built it, under that company’s own number. On a current appliance that is a lookup. On a discontinued one it is the difference between a repair that can happen and one that cannot, because a number that returns nothing has very often simply been superseded twice. We follow that chain and tell you plainly when a part is genuinely gone, rather than taking a deposit and finding out slowly. ## A dryer vent and a condenser clean prevent more than they cost They are the two cheapest things on this page and they head off the two most expensive. A duct that cannot move air is what opens a dryer’s thermal protection and takes the heating element with it, and South Florida’s long flat vent runs block far sooner than the makers assume. A coil that cannot shed heat makes a compressor buy the same cold with more running time, every day, until something in the sealed system stops paying. Both are priced to be chosen rather than deferred. ## Three minutes that change the visit Read the first three digits - They are the part of the model number before the period on the rating plate. - 110 and 106 and 665 are Whirlpool, 795 and 796 are LG, 253 and 790 and 587 are Frigidaire, 362 and 363 are GE, 233 is Broan, 911 is Roper, 630 is Bosch. - It decides the parts on the van and the order of the diagnosis. Photograph anything on the display - A code is erased the moment power is cut, and cutting power is often the first thing anybody tries. - On machines with no display, count the flashes and the pauses — that pattern is the code. - The same characters mean different things for different manufacturers. Check what is free - A dryer that will not dry: feel for airflow at the outside vent hood. - A dishwasher that will not drain: check the disposer plug was removed. - A cabinet that has never been cold since delivery: check for a cooling-off or a showroom mode. ## Every appliance we cover Each job above attaches to one or more of these. If you would sooner begin with the machine than with the work, begin here. ## Publishing a job takes volume — repairing one does not What earned a page here is what we are asked for often enough to write about properly. Plenty of work never reaches that threshold and is still perfectly ordinary for us. Give us three digits from the plate and a description of the behavior, and we will say what it commonly proves to be. Those digits identify the company that built the machine, which is where everything on this site begins. ## Questions we are asked about the work Do you charge for the diagnostic? — Yes — it begins at $95 and is credited against the repair if you proceed. What you are paying for is somebody establishing the answer, which is the difficult part of the job. Why do you need the model number before anything else? — Because on this badge it is the diagnosis rather than paperwork. A 110 washer is a Whirlpool and a 796 is an LG, and they do not share a pump, a control, a parts catalog or a code table. Arriving without the number means working on two different machines at once. Do you work on Kenmore Elite and Kenmore Pro as well? — Yes. Those are trim and feature levels applied across whichever manufacturer built the unit rather than engineering families — an Elite refrigerator may be LG-built and an Elite range Frigidaire-built. The line name tells you very little; the first three digits tell you everything. Do you use original parts? — We fit OEM parts wherever the catalog still carries them, and we tell you outright when what is going in is an equivalent. Independent appliance repair company. Not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by any manufacturer. The guarantee covers the work we performed. ## What Kenmore repair actually involves in Miami ### One badge, seven manufacturers Kenmore is a house brand. Sears commissioned appliances from other companies and put its own name on them, and that practice is still readable on every rating plate: the three digits before the period identify the manufacturer. Two refrigerators that look identical from the front can have different evaporator layouts, different defrost strategies, different control boards and entirely separate parts catalogs. ### Why that makes the list on this page look the way it does Because a job is a job whoever built the appliance, but the sequence inside it is not. A drain repair on a washer is the same list of components in a different order depending on the maker, and the machine will tell you a different amount about it along the way. So the jobs are listed as jobs, and each page says what changes with the builder. ### What South Florida adds Three things, on every appliance in the catalog. Humidity, which decides how hard a defrost circuit works and how soon a door seal matters. Water hard enough to scale a dishwasher heater and an ice machine well inside the intervals the manuals assume. And vent runs in single-story houses that are long, flat and carrying damp air, which is why dryer work is its own line here rather than an afterthought. ### What we will not do Quote a firm price before we have seen the appliance. The same complaint on the same machine can be a switch or a control board, and those are not the same money. Every figure here is a starting point, and the exact cost is confirmed after the on-site diagnostic and agreed with you before anything is opened. ## Three digits, and a sentence about the behavior. Add a photo of whatever the display is showing. That is usually enough for us to name a likely cause and its price band over the phone. --- **[Read full article: Services archive](https://kenmoremiami.support/services-archive/)**
