Kenmore appliance repairs in The Colony, TX
Kenmore is one of the most common brand names on appliances across The Colony, but here's something a lot of owners don't know: Kenmore doesn't actually manufacture its own appliances. Every Kenmore refrigerator, washer, or range was built by another company — and knowing which one changes how we diagnose and repair it.
Find out who really made your Kenmore appliance
Kenmore is a brand name owned by Sears, sold on appliances actually built by manufacturers like Whirlpool, LG, Frigidaire, Electrolux, GE, and Bosch. The first three digits of your model number reveal who actually built it — and once you know that, our brand-specific repair guide for that manufacturer applies directly.
Find your model number on a sticker inside the door frame, along the side wall of the fridge compartment, or behind the crisper drawer.
| Prefix | Actual manufacturer |
|---|---|
| 110, 106, 562 | Whirlpool |
| 795, 796 | LG |
| 253, 790 | Frigidaire |
| 417 | Electrolux |
| 363, 364, 665 | GE |
| 630 | Bosch |
| 401 | Samsung |
Why the actual manufacturer matters for your repair
Kenmore appliances aren't built to a single design — they inherit the parts, error codes, and common failure points of whichever company actually manufactured them. A Kenmore washer built by Whirlpool behaves nothing like one built by LG when something goes wrong.
- Error codes and diagnostic displays follow the original manufacturer's format, not a Kenmore-specific one
- Replacement parts are sourced through the actual manufacturer's supply chain
- Common failure points match the manufacturer's known issues, not a generic Kenmore pattern
- Whirlpool made most Kenmore washers and dishwashers before 2017; LG has built more of the newer lineup since

What homeowners in The Colony most often ask before booking a Kenmore repair.
Does Kenmore actually make its own appliances?+
No. Kenmore is a brand name owned by Sears, and every Kenmore appliance is manufactured by a different company — historically Whirlpool, and more recently LG, Frigidaire, Electrolux, GE, Samsung, and Bosch, depending on the appliance type and model year.
How do I find out who actually made my Kenmore appliance?+
Check the first three digits of your model number against the prefix table above. For example, a model number starting with 110 was built by Whirlpool, while 795 or 796 points to LG.
What does the prefix 110 or 795 mean on my Kenmore model number?+
110 identifies Whirlpool as the actual manufacturer, and 795 (or 796) identifies LG. Once you know which one applies, our repair page for that specific brand covers the exact issues and error codes to expect.
Can I still get parts for an older Kenmore appliance?+
In most cases, yes. Since parts are sourced through the actual manufacturer, availability follows that company's parts lifecycle rather than Kenmore's, and Whirlpool, GE, and Frigidaire parts in particular remain widely available for many years.
Do you use genuine Kenmore parts?+
Since Kenmore doesn't manufacture parts itself, we source OEM parts through the actual manufacturer identified by your model number prefix, and confirm availability before quoting your repair.
Is Kenmore still in business?+
Yes, though its retail presence has changed significantly since Sears' decline. Kenmore-branded appliances are still sold through retailers like Amazon and Lowe's, continuing to be built by partner manufacturers.
