Cleaning out a Kenmore stack

Kat Twiss 05/03/2026 - 10:45 AM

Who can I hire/how can I clean out the guts of my washing machine? I keep calling appliance repair techs and they all say they don’t do preventative maintenance only repairs. Well guys! I’m trying to prevent the need for repairs here! I want to be able to get to the external of the drum. I can see gunk that I can’t reach it’s just a breakdown waiting to happen but I don’t know how to take the panels off or just take anything on the machine apart to clean it out and put it back together

Are you a pro and able to answer this question?

An Electrician should be doing it due to the electrical involvement. The handyman rule can do it but make it sure that the appliances are disconnected the power or the breaker is off and had a lock to prevent someone from turning on. Like me, for more than 20 years of experience. Safety is my first concern. Eliminate the hazard.
