# Kenmore OEM cross reference and parts sourcing

### About OEM cross reference and parts sourcing

This is the one job on this site that exists on no other in the fleet, and it exists because Kenmore manufactures nothing. The component in your appliance was made by Whirlpool, LG, Frigidaire, GE, Broan, Roper or Bosch, and it is catalogued under that company's number as well as under the Sears one. When the badge-side catalog stops carrying a part — which happens first, because a badge that no longer sells appliances has no reason to maintain a list — the builder's number is the only route to it. Sometimes the answer is that the part is genuinely gone, and that is a finding worth having before you spend anything else.

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

The builder's part number, not the badge's

Superseded numbers traced rather than guessed

An honest answer when a part no longer exists

Start from the full model and serial

The prefix names the manufacturer and the rest of the number identifies the platform. Both are needed; the prefix alone gets you to the right company and the wrong shelf.

Find the builder's own number for the part

Whirlpool, LG, Frigidaire, GE, Broan and Roper each maintain their own catalog, and the part on your appliance is listed there under their number rather than under a Kenmore one.

Follow the supersessions

Parts get replaced by successors, sometimes several times over. A number that returns nothing is very often a number that has been superseded twice, and that is a search rather than a dead end.

Check the fit, not just the listing

A superseding part sometimes changes a connector or a bracket. Where it does, we say what else the job needs before anything is ordered.

Tell you the truth about availability

Some parts for older units are genuinely gone. When that is the answer we give it, with what it means for the appliance, rather than taking a deposit and finding out slowly.

### How do I know who built my appliance?

The first three digits of the model number. 110, 106 and 665 are Whirlpool, 795 and 796 are LG, 253, 790, 587 and 417 are Frigidaire, 362 and 363 are GE, 233 is Broan, 911 is Roper and 630 is Bosch.

### Can you tell me if a part still exists before I book a repair?

That is exactly what this line is for, and on an older appliance it is worth doing first. Send the complete number and say which component you are asking about.
