Kenmore washer not draining is a known issue affecting 110 series (Whirlpool). Our technicians specialize in Kenmore-specific diagnostics and repair.
Samsung front-loader was shaking violently during spin cycles at our San Jose condo. Technician rebalanced the drum and replaced worn shock absorbers. Runs whisper-quiet now, even on the second floor.

Kenmore washer not draining is typically caused by clogged drain pump filter or failed drain pump. Kenmore-specific factor: manufacturer platform determines drain system — 110 series (whirlpool) has coin trap, 796 series (lg) has front filter. Repair costs $100-$300 with free diagnostic and 90-day warranty.
Manufacturer platform determines drain system — 110 series (Whirlpool) has coin trap, 796 series (LG) has front filter
Drain pump filter clog from small items trapped in housing — location varies by manufacturer
Drain pump motor failure from foreign object damage — impeller cracks on coins or buttons
Pressure switch tube clog from detergent residue — gives false empty-tub reading
Drain hose kink behind unit from shifting during spin cycle vibration
Other Kenmore models may also be affected. Book a free diagnostic for confirmation.
Seeing one of these codes? It likely indicates not draining.
Sacramento Kenmore washer drain pump failures span all manufacturer platforms but share the same root cause — hard water mineral deposits clog the pump filter and reduce impeller clearance. Whirlpool-made 110 series in older Sacramento neighborhoods accumulate scale faster than LG-made models because the Whirlpool pump housing has tighter clearances. Monthly filter cleaning extends pump life on all platforms.
Identify manufacturer from model prefix: 110 = Whirlpool, 796/402 = LG, 417 = Electrolux — determines filter access location and diagnostic procedure
For Whirlpool 110: tilt unit back, access pump from bottom — clean coin trap and inspect impeller for damage
For LG 796: open small door at front bottom, twist filter counterclockwise — clean debris and check impeller rotation
For all platforms: disconnect drain hose at standpipe, blow through to check for restriction — should have zero resistance
The technician identifies the manufacturer platform from the model number, then accesses the drain pump filter using the platform-specific procedure. Filter cleaning resolves about 60% of drain complaints across all platforms. If the pump motor is failed, the correct cross-reference part is ordered based on the OEM manufacturer — Kenmore part numbers often do not match current availability, so the technician sources the equivalent LG, Whirlpool, or Electrolux pump. Most drain repairs complete in 30-45 minutes.
