A Kenmore ice maker shares its basic needs with every other ice maker, cold air, water and a working mechanism, but where it sits, how it is reset and the codes it shows are specific to the brand and model. We flag companies whose listing or website mentions Kenmore and fill in with nearby appliance repair companies so you always have options.
This is an independent directory. We are not affiliated with Kenmore, and the technicians listed are independent repair companies, not the manufacturer.
Kenmore refrigerators and freezers were sold through Sears for decades, so many owners look for Sears appliance repair. The companies here are independent technicians who work on Kenmore and Kenmore Elite models; they are not Sears.
