Kenmore to Manufacturer Cross Reference Matrix?


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

  I apologize that I was unable to find the perfect forum for this question, please move it if it makes sense.  

So about every 3 days I say to myself, "man I wish I knew how to cross reference Kenmore models to the mfg model numbers",  Currently, I use a sort of fuzzy logic by looking at the parts breakdown, grabbing a part number that appears to be unique, search by that part number and see what other models use that part.  For example yesterday had a Kenmore dryer that from the first three characters, I knew (other than just knowing) that it was an LG.  I then looked up the water tank mounted to the top of the unit (a unique feature) and was able to convert it to very close (but not exact) LG model and thus the service manual.

Sometimes this works, but often takes too long to do.  Somewhere there MUST be a spreadsheet that has two columns something like this:

110.54323XXX = Whirlpool   MDQP1234XXX

I'm guessing this is some protected internal Sears document, but hey I DO contract for them, you would think they would hook a tech up, no?
