Kenmore Appliance Repair — Every Model, Every Era
Kenmore has been a household name in Canada for over a century. Originally sold exclusively through Sears, Kenmore appliances were built by some of the biggest manufacturers in the industry: Whirlpool produced many of their washers and dryers, LG manufactured their Elite refrigerators, and Electrolux built their vacuum and dishwasher lines. When Sears closed its Canadian stores, millions of Kenmore owners were left wondering where to turn for parts and service. That is exactly where Fixlify Appliance Services steps in.
Our technicians understand the unique challenge of Kenmore repair. Because each Kenmore appliance was made by a different OEM, diagnosing and fixing them requires knowledge across multiple manufacturer platforms. The first three digits of your Kenmore model number tell us who actually built your unit. A model starting with 110 was made by Whirlpool, 795 by LG, and 417 by Electrolux. We use this information to source the exact right replacement parts, whether they come from the original manufacturer or a trusted aftermarket supplier.
Kenmore Elite Series Refrigerator Repair
The Kenmore Elite series represented the premium tier of the brand, and many Toronto households still rely on Elite refrigerators from the 2010s. Common issues we see include compressor failure on the LG-manufactured units, ice maker malfunctions where the auger motor seizes or the water inlet valve fails, and temperature inconsistencies caused by worn evaporator fan motors. Our technicians carry replacement compressors, fan motors, and ice maker assemblies specifically for Elite models, allowing us to complete most refrigerator repairs in a single visit.
Kenmore Washer Bearing and Drum Repair
Kenmore washers, particularly the top-load models built by Whirlpool, are known for their longevity but eventually develop bearing wear. You will hear a loud rumbling or grinding noise during the spin cycle when this happens. The rear tub bearing kit and seal are the most common replacement. For Kenmore front-load washers manufactured by LG, we frequently replace the door boot seal to stop leaks, the drain pump when the unit won't drain, and the shock absorbers when excessive vibration during spin becomes a problem. We stock these parts for same-day repair across Toronto, Scarborough, North York, Mississauga, and Brampton.
Parts Availability for Discontinued Kenmore Models
One of the biggest concerns Kenmore owners have is whether parts are still available. The answer is almost always yes. Because Kenmore appliances were manufactured by major brands that are still in operation, the internal components are often identical to parts used in Whirlpool, LG, or Frigidaire units sold under their own name. We maintain relationships with multiple parts distributors across Ontario and can source components for Kenmore models going back 15 years or more. In cases where an original part has been fully discontinued, we identify compatible aftermarket replacements that meet the same specifications and fit correctly.
Common Kenmore Dryer and Oven Repairs
Kenmore dryers frequently need heating element replacement, thermal fuse repair, and belt replacement as they age. The 110-series dryers built by Whirlpool use a specific drum roller design that wears unevenly over time, causing thumping noises. For Kenmore ovens and ranges, the most common repairs involve replacing the bake or broil element, fixing faulty oven ignitors on gas models, and recalibrating temperature sensors that cause uneven cooking. We handle all of these repairs with a 90-day warranty on parts and labour.
