Kenmore owners in Biloxi usually want two things from a repair company: experience with the brand and quick access to parts. The Biloxi list starts with companies that name Kenmore, followed by other appliance repair companies that list dryer work.
Independent listings only: Washer and Dryer Repair is not affiliated with or endorsed by Kenmore. If your dryer is still under manufacturer coverage, contact Kenmore directly.
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.
