The Kenmore 796.4044 is a discontinued / legacy LG-built front-load washer — no longer in production, but we still service it. The "796" prefix is the LG block — service documentation for this series is LG-authored under the Kenmore badge.

The code your Kenmore washer shows tells you who built it: 110-prefix (Whirlpool) washers read Sud (suds lock) and F8E1 (a long or slow fill), while 796-prefix (LG) washers read OE (drain), IE (inlet), UE (unbalanced load), and dE (door). We clear the drain path and test the inlet valve, door lock, and drive before fitting a genuine OEM part. See washer repair and our washer error-code guides. Browse our Kenmore repair guides and model directory, or visit kenmore.com for full specifications and model lookup.
