# Kenmore appliance installation

### About installation on a Kenmore

Mechanically this is the same work as on any other appliance, with one difference that matters: the installation instructions belong to the company that built the machine, and those companies disagree with each other about clearances, leveling sequence and how a drain hose should be secured. Reading the right document is a small thing that prevents a callback. The figure assumes a freestanding appliance, which is most of this catalog; a built-in dishwasher, a stacked pair, a wall oven going into an opening or a gas connection is quoted before the visit rather than discovered on it.

On this site the job covers refrigerators, freezers, ice makers, dishwashers, washers, dryers, ranges, wall ovens, cooktops, and range hoods wearing the Kenmore badge, across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. Tell us the three digits before the period on the rating plate when you book: they name the company that actually built the appliance, and on this badge that is where the diagnosis starts.

What this involves

Leveled and tested rather than plugged in

Gas and stacked installations quoted on the job

The install decides how the appliance ages

Check the space before the appliance goes near it

Clearances, the outlet, the shut-off and the drain. Finding a problem now is a conversation; finding it with the machine in place is a second visit.

Connect properly

Water lines with a shut-off you can reach, drain hoses with a high loop, a vent that is the right diameter and as short as the room allows.

A washer that is out of level walks and will not spin a full load. A refrigerator out of level does not close its own doors. It is five minutes and it decides years.

A full short cycle, watched. An installation that has not been run has not been finished.

Show you the shut-offs

Where the water stops and where the power stops. It is the most useful thing anybody can know about a new appliance.

### The store is delivering it. Do I still need this?

Often not. Where this earns its place is on the awkward ones — a built-in going back into existing cabinetry, a stacked laundry pair, a gas connection, or a delivery crew that has already declined the job.

### Do you take the old appliance away?

Removal and disconnection can be part of the visit. Say so when you book, particularly if the old machine is built in or above the ground floor, because it changes how many people arrive.
