Kenmore Dryer Repair: Quick and Affordable

Your Kenmore dryer says "Kenmore" on the manufacturer's tag, but is it a Kenmore inside? 

In the olden days, your Kenmore dryer had a Whirlpool inside; today, it has an LG Dryer inside. You need to know why, because when you place a service request with me, it is most helpful to take a picture and text me the model number so I can be prepared. The first three numbers in the Kenmore dryer model number identify the make of dryer inside.

Kenmore dryers have been a trusted household name for decades, manufactured by various companies including Whirlpool, LG, and Electrolux. While the Kenmore brand was primarily sold through Sears, these appliances remain widely used in homes across North America.
