Kenmore owners in Sugar Hill usually want two things from a repair company: experience with the brand and quick access to parts. The Sugar Hill list starts with companies that name Kenmore, followed by other appliance repair companies that list dryer work.
Washer and Dryer Repair is independent and not affiliated with Kenmore. Listed companies are independent technicians who repair Kenmore dryers and other brands.
Kenmore dryers were made for Sears by several manufacturers over the years, so the model number matters more than the badge. Independent technicians can look up the parts from it.
