Kenmore was okay. I chose this brand and model initially because it was on sale for a great price and the HE cycle thats good for saving money and for the environment got me convinced with its added bonus. I like the different cycle choices including the HE cycle. It also was very quiet for a dishwasher. They can be quite noisy so this was a nice surprise for us. Also, it wasnt too big but seemed to fit more dishes inside than you would think it would. However, it had some strange slits were you just couldnt fit larger dishes into that seemed like they should fit. I also didnt like a couple of things like it didnt seem to clean the dishes very well on any cycle and thats with us prewashing and pre-soaking. All in all, it was alright decision due to not very much money being spent at all. If I had paid full price, I wouldve been very disappointed with this unit.

My Kenmore range is only 5 1/2 years old and I am told that the computer board in the front of the range has to be replaced at a cost of $443.00 plus instillation cost $118.00. My burners and oven no longer work. We have bought many appliances from Sears over the years and I will not go back nor will I buy another Kenmore product. Upon moving to a new home 5-6 years ago, we bought a Kenmore fridge, dishwasher, range, washer and dryer. I am very disappointed with the stove and the operation of it.

It works extremely well. We hardly ever need to pre-wash our dishes. Everything comes out clean and not greasy. It runs quietly and is not bad at all. I love it. It fits all the dishes I need it to. There is room for everything and lots of ways to rearrange the shelves. I have not problem getting my largest pots and pans in to be washed. It is nice and sleek. The stainless steel appearance is gorgeous. It fits well with our other appliances. It is easy to clean and does not show much dirt to begin with. I think that the price was very reasonable. It wasnt the most expensive nor the cheapest dishwasher available. The price was right and we have gotten our moneys worth.

First time buying a Kenmore and last time. Paid too much for what I thought was a quality range. Oven racks dont fit. The entire inside is bowed out so racks dont fit. This is so dangerous if the rack fell while removing hot food. Got online and cant believe Sears hasnt recalled these.

Kenmore Elite Electric range: After running the pyrolytic cleaning cycle, the inner liner of the stove has warped. Except on the lowest level the wire racks will no longer support a load. I place a pan on the middle level (usual for baking) and the rack collapses!I paid Sears (~$100) to send a technician to diagnose the patently obvious problem. Still, they wouldnt do anything (out of warranty) except perform a $1,000 (my estimate for parts & labor) repair that would simply replace the warped parts with more of the same to repeat the performance after another cleaning cycle. I’ve sent letters to the president of Sears Canada, no luck. I have plans to fix it myself. I hope Sears keeps bleeding red ink. Sears will never sell me anything else!

I remodeled my kitchen (March 2015) and wanted to have reliable appliances that had nice features and looked nice. I purchased a Refrigerator (4674033), stove (2275233), dishwasher (2212773) and over the range microwave (2280333). $6000 worth of appliances... So far the dishwasher had a defect in the basin that leaked and destroyed my new floor. The Refrigerator frosted over and was out of commission for 2 weeks waiting for a new circuit board for a known issue. And now the gasket on the door to my stove is peeling off. These appliances were supposed to be top of the line Kenmore Elite. They have been nothing but a headache and who knows what is in store in the future.

Our experience with all Kenmore brand appliances is so great that Kenmore has proven to be one of our choice and go-to brands. We will and have recommended Kenmore and will continue to shop this brand for future needs. Kenmore offers very competitive pricing especially for such a high quality brand. This is a good advantage to save money especially with a large family to support. Having a large family we have always needed quite a bit of room to store our groceries. Our Kenmore refrigerator is big enough to fit what we need it to. The shelves being adjustable has also held significant advantages. Our Kenmore refrigerator is white inside and out and is so easy to keep clean or to wipe away with a gentle swipe when the inevitable spills have occurred.

I wanted to buy a new oven for my 88 year old mother who lives in a mobile home. There was only one model, Kenmore 24inch, white, gas model that fit her space. This oven was bought site unseen as there were no floor models available. Installed and with all the extra charges the cost was $1600. The oven itself was 1499.00. I live in another area so upon visiting my mother and seeing the new oven which has absolutely NO BELLS OR WHISTLES. This is a basic on off oven and broiler. OH it does have a clock... What a piece of garbage!!! The design is stupid with broiler in a bottom drawer, its barely hot enough on HI to broil anything, the door corners were chipped, the oven glass steams up when using the broiler, the temperature gauge is way off in the oven, the installation looks cheap and incomplete. If I had seen all of this within the 30 day return period this oven would be returned... But my only recourse now is to inform anyone who might be considering this oven to consider that the only pro...is that it is cheap in every way!

My fiancee whose name the appliance is listed under {Diane ** they assumed I was Mr. **} purchased a Sears Kenmore elite gas range model 79075343310 in October 2013. It has been used roughly a dozen times if that. Well on 1/26/15 we had made a pizza and were enjoying it when we heard a large pop. Upon investigation we discovered that the inner door glass had exploded and shattered. It was contained inside by the front and back panels. I figured because the warranty was only expired by three months that Sears would foot the bill for repairs. Not so! Their argument was warranty had expired. Okay understand that but when the hell have you ever heard of oven door glass exploding simply by using the oven. Definitely one for Ralph Nader. Ridiculous. What if it had been the outer glass with a toddler or family pet walking by. Believe Sears like the rest of iconic American businesses continue to sell us down the river with inferior products.

Nice looking oven, but it Shuts down randomly - F44 code. Had it replaced in less than a month after purchasing it NEW and the replacement does the exact same thing. SUCKS! We do not want this computerized **. Just give me a manual operated oven! We are going to have to get something other than this oven.

Kenmore oven Model 790.9745 - We purchased our house in July 2014 and didnt notice at the time that the front glass of the oven was missing. We ordered a new glass front, installed it and a few months later, the front glass exploded and went all over the kitchen. Then we realized that must have been why the glass was missing when we bought the house. We replaced the glass again and the other day the same thing happened. Three times in three years. Each time someone was standing near the oven while it was baking at 350 degrees when the glass exploded. We were lucky no one got hurt.It was unusual that the dogs or kids werent in the kitchen with us at the time as they usually are! In addition to the glass exploding three times that we know of, the control panel had a F-10 error which is run away temperature. The smoke detectors went off in the house to alert us to that problem due to the extreme heat coming from the oven. This oven needs to be recalled. It seems like this is a problem many people have had in reading the reviews!

I have always trusted Kenmore appliances to deliver value, performance and reliability. The fact that they are readily available in most areas in America matters since I move a lot. Its nice to know a dealer is nearby for necessary repairs, or more likely, to buy a newer version. There were many models to choose from so I could get the one that fit my apartment situation perfectly. I had a basic model and it was a size good there but also transitioned to my first house with no problem. It was very easy to clean, and keep clean. However its always a battle to chose between amount of features versus price. And more variety in shelving arrangements would have been nice. Gallon milk jugs and 2 liter soda bottles are a challenge in smaller fridges.

My family all pitched in so I could get the Kenmore Elite oven model #79098022802 through Sears. I picked up the oven from the Sears in the Hickory Hill Mall in Memphis, TN on January 17, 2011. Since then, I have had four service calls for the same problem, which is called an Error 14. This particular error message stops the oven from working, making it impossible to bake or warm anything up. Once the Error 14 message appears the oven completely shut downs. It does not let you override it or bypass it. The control part has been replaced twice and finally on December 26, 2012 Sears replaced the touch screen but still the Error 14 message remains.Sears had me purchase a premium warranty for $270. The oven cost $1,500. Since I have had this oven (January 2011), I have had to take off work seven times for the same problem. The Sears serviceman that came to my home to fix the oven worked on it for three hours trying to fix the Error 14 again. To this day, the oven is not fixed. The serviceman told me to call the Lemon Line for a replacement. I called and they gave me another appointment for January 4, 2013. On January 4th, the serviceman was at my house for 30 minutes. He talked to the service people and ordered the control panel part directly from the manufacturer. On January 11, 2013, the same serviceman installed the third control panel and it still did not fix the Error 14 issue. The oven will heat up to 114 degrees then it triggers the Error 14. At this point, the serviceman feels that he has exhausted all possibilities on fixing the oven and he is not coming back.The issue with my oven has been going on for two years. For two years, I have not been able to make my family meals to eat. I have not been able to make holiday meals for my family to enjoy. I have been forced to go to family and friends homes for the holidays just to enjoy a home cooked meal. I think that it is unfair that Sears has not taken care of this issue in a timely manner. No one should have to go without an oven for this long. I only want to be made whole. I would like for this oven to be exchanged for one of equal value ($1500) and a check for $270 for the premium warranty I purchased for the oven that still does not work.Since this issue began in February 2011, I have been extremely stressed and frustrated due to the fact that I am not able to use my oven to bake meals. Sears has offered me no recourse other than to sell me a warranty that has not been useful. I would greatly appreciate if someone from your company could exchange my oven for equal value but not the same brand.

After the second self clean on our Kenmore convection oven that we paid 1799.00 21/2 years ago the paint under the top and the door is now rusted because the paint melted from the self cleaning. Also the button for the warming over turned brown. I will never buy a Kenmore oven again that was an expensive lesson.

I purchased a Kenmore Elite 790.48883.110 built-in microwave to match my Elite built-in oven. The Elite microwave electronics fried within a few months while still under warranty. The electronics were replaced but fried again a year later while out of warranty. This microwave is a LEMON. There is a design or manufacturing defect in this unit. Sears is retailing the microwave for $2,000 (I paid $1,300). I have a Hamilton Beach microwave that I purchase at Walmart for $65 at it works like a charm. Why cant Sears make a $2,000 microwave that lasts for a year?The fun begins when you contact Sears Customer Care. The first thing that the non-English speaking person told me was that I needed to contact Electrolux because they were the ones who actually made the microwave. Duh? I bought the microwave at Sears and it has Kenmore labeled on the front door! I really dont care which company in China made the unit, Sears is the responsible party! But this is what Sears Customer Care operators are trained to do. After much complaining, I was finally turned over to an English-speaking operator. His job was to sell me a $500 per year insurance policy. I told him, Thanks but no thanks! If I have to spend $500 it will go toward yanking out the Kenmore unit and replacing it with another brand!By the way, the microwave (when actually working) gives off an ear-piercing beep every 15 seconds that is extremely obnoxious. This beep cannot be turned off or adjusted. DONT BUY THIS LEMON OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCES FROM SEARS...!!! Sears used to be a good company but has turned into a pile of horse manure!

This washer is awesome. If you have seen commercials where they put filthy dishes in to wash and find it unbelievable, you can believe it now. I tested it. It really works with this dishwasher. I give it a score of 15 out of a possible 10. Its that good. It is the perfect size. With a family of four we can start putting the dishes in at breakfast. Throughout the day we keep adding more dishes. You would think we would run out of room before dinner, that is not so. We still have room for the dirty dinner dishes. You wouldnt think that a dishwasher could be described as pretty but this one can. I got it in the silver or chrome color and it matches the refrigerator and the oven and stove. They all look really pretty next to each other. It is definitely worth every penny I spent on it. It wasnt very expensive at all. There were other brands that did the exact same thing but were more expensive. It turned out to be a really good value.

Kenmore Elite has a proven record for quality and is guaranteed for an extended length of time against defects and manufacturers mistakes. It has lots of different cycles for specific dishes and silverware to offer the cleanest dishes that look hand washed and dried. They come out totally clean and sparkling every time. There is nothing I dislike about the dishwasher except having to clean the inside of the dishwasher when the dirty dishes leave a residue on the inside. It has an automatic dishwashing cleaner.

The washer is by Kenmore and I have not had any repairs in the time I have owned the machine. This washer does the job. Happy with its performance. Clothes are clean. Not looking to replace. Will keep this washer for the long term. This washer is white and is a standard washer with a top load. It has an agitator and a lot of buttons. I use warm for my whites and cold for my colors. I looked at a lot of machines. It was not at the top or at the bottom of the range. I therefore felt I got good value.

My mother is a veteran of WWII but may be defeated by her Sears Kenmore oven. She has a model 790 in wall oven which is an obvious lemon. It will frequently fail to complete a cycle (shuts off before cooking is done) and has ruined several batches of food. The problem appears to be a computer control module. While I was there over the thanksgiving holiday it abruptly locked up (as though about to go into self clean mode) with the holiday turkey inside. Fortunately we were able to locate the plug and unplug the thing (which still did not unlock the oven, but at least the dinner was not incinerated). We were worried about a fire and are grateful that it did not happen while we were out of the room. She has had at least four failures in the last year, but since the problem is intermittent (only once was it still malfunctioning when the tech arrived) it cant be verified for warranty replacement. The available service calls are limited to two days a week by the company Sears contracted with, so almost impossible to get the problem solved. Calls to Sears for repairs are often unreturned. Parts are apparently hard to come by (the control module was replaced, for example, but the part was ordered in February, arrived in August). Really disappointed in Sears... I was raised as a Sears customer, but am alienated by the way they treated my mom and disgusted by the drop in reliability. Used to think I could count on them, but no more.

Every time I use the dryer it gets the job done. It doesnt take hours to dry them and it allows me to get more dry in half the time. I would recommend in using this dryer to help save time. It is time saving and has really helped me get my drying done. With the setting on the dryer, I can control the dry I need for my clothes. I like that is dryer is compact and it has a wonderful look to it, it is modern and fits next to my washer easily. Having the matching set will make any washroom complete and beautiful. Not everyone likes going out spending big money on washers and dryers. I found that this price was in my price range, it wasnt too high and you are getting the product for your money so you never have to worry about overspending.

I have the same range and had burning wires, sparks and popping noises from control panel on range last week. Now is unplugged and useless because it is unsafe!!! I want it out of my home and Sears to replace it for FREE!!!! It is only 3 yrs old!!! LOTS of people having the same problem!!! Sears doing NOTHING!!! It is disgusting!!!! There is a lot more info out there.

Kenmore model # 79092803013 electric range oven started smelling plastic burn every time I turned on the oven. Well, I should have turned it off but I didnt. Thanks to God it didnt cause any major damages including fatalities. The baking and broiling elements stopped working and decided to open the back panel of the range. To my surprise the control board and the harness was burned and melted until changed to complete black. They should have recalled their products knowing their safety issues. The sad thing is all my appliances are Kenmore. I will never buy their products again. Be Aware!!!

We purchased our wall oven from Sears with the expectation of quality of their name and the backing of their outside manufactures making products for them. I noticed the house smelled like wood burning and thought it might be our fireplace. The smell progressively grew stronger and stronger over the months as we used the oven. Last week I got scared and called a local appliance repairman and he asked if my oven was clean, as most of his calls are from something falling onto the heating element(s). I cleaned the oven as a precaution. My son came home from college for the weekend that night and used the oven to bake a dessert, the kitchen filled with smoke and again smelled like burnt wood.Monday the appliance repairman found the problem and said we were lucky the house did not burn down. The bottom of the oven dropped down allowing the heating element and bottom liner of the oven to transfer heat to the under cover as seen in the pictures attached. First two are the charred and burnt cabinet, third is the hot spot under the oven where heat transfer happened, the last three are the sunken bottom and heating element.

The Kenmore dishwasher came with our apartment. The performance is excellent, and we dont have to go over dishes, or re-wash anything like we have in the past with other dishwashers. We generally keep it on the normal wash setting and it gets the job done, even on heavier stained dishes! The Kenmore dishwasher came with our apartment. It is the perfect size for a smaller space, like an apartment or a condo. It is compact, yet not too small, as it houses all of our dishes perfectly. You can fit a good amount of dishes in, yet it is not bulky. The appearance of the Kenmore is fairly clean. I feel as though this model looks slightly dated, due to the large selection of newer models offered on the market today, however it is stainless steel, and goes well with all appliances, as it has a very neutral, clean face. I feel as though, you pay for what you get with this model. Dishwashers can be expensive and this one is in the more low to moderate range, and it is worth it.

We purchased a Kenmore Elite 24 cu.ft. Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator model# 78043 in Feb 2015 and installed it in late April 2015 for our new kitchen renovation. We loved the appearance of the unit and the space available inside. We had been noticing for the past 3 or 4 weeks that our food was going bad and an unusual odor inside. At first, we thought we had just purchased some out of date food. We placed boxes of baking soda inside for the odor. We installed a refrigerator thermometer inside both compartments and began monitoring the temperatures. The temp range in the fridge was 43-54 degrees and the freezer was 6-20 degrees even though the settings were at the recommended 0 and 37.Please be aware if you purchase this unit that the display only shows the setting temps, not the actual temps. Two months after being put into service, this unit has stopped cooling the refrigerator/freezer compartments adequately. In the end, all of our food had to be discarded. Initially, Sears service suggested they would replace the defective unit because it was so new, then said we had to schedule a service call 22 days from now. We purchased this item based primarily on the Kenmore name. That was obviously a mistake.Updated on 08/19/2015: This is an update to our previous review of the fridge we purchased from Sears. The service tech finally arrived on Aug 4 after our original appt was re-scheduled for a week later. He ordered the parts which were delivered the next day. The appt for install was Aug 19. Sears called yet again to reschedule for Sept 1. In the meantime, we discovered the part they sent was the wrong part. We called today to hopefully get the right part before the rescheduled Sept 1 appointment.

Bought the Kenmore double oven (top a microwave, bottom an oven). Oven racks kept falling. Sears replaced racks, oven interior, and wound up replacing oven. This time we got bottom and top ovens. Racks in both oven still fall. Very dangerous.

I have always preferred an electric stove over a gas stove. I had my stove and hot water on propane so I decided to do all electric and thats when I purchased the Kenmore electric range. I have never owned a glass top stove that didnt have the coil burners. There really wasnt any other options. I learned that if you spill something on the stove while cooking on it to make sure you clean it up before you use it again because it is a lot harder to get it clean if you keep cooking on it. It cleans up great as long as you clean it after every use. It has a convection option instead of just bake selection which I use most of the time because its faster and it cooks more evenly. It also has one burner that is called turbo boil. When you use that burner it boils within less than 1 minute. It is awesome. Really cant think of anything negative. I would highly recommend the Kenmore electric range. It is the best oven I have ever owned.

Kenmore Oasis Elite washing machine - F1 error message led me to do research online. After phone calls to Sears, I had to do my own homework. Found that there was a recall notification for serial# in range of CT01 thru CT49 which mine is. Model is 110 27092600. After many phone calls etc they said yes it is recalled due to the common F1 error message but that I have to pay for the repairs... WHAT!? Their product fails and so many of these washing machines failed that they had to do a recall but we the consumers have to pay for it? Never ever will I shop with Sears nor will I buy a Kenmore product even though I am in need of a new dryer, microwave/wall oven combo, and dishwasher.... oh and now a new washing machine or repair!

I purchased a Kenmore induction range approximately 5 years ago. The oven racks no longer fit, they fall down and create a very dangerous problem. Sears has told me in order to fix the problem I need to change the entire oven box. Needless to say it might happen again since it seems the box expands with use.

We purchased a Kenmore Elite range in 2012. It worked well for a while then the computer board failed and the oven would not heat. This first occurred December of 2014. I was without an oven for the entire month of December. Then on November 28, 2015 the same issue started. We called for repair and were treated rudely and they would not re-order the same parts from last repair, so we had to wait for a tech on December 2. The tech came out. He was rude and not helpful. He didnt even inspect the oven. He said it was the computer board and ordered the part. We then had to wait for parts to arrive and schedule the next available appointment on December 11. The tech installed the board and the oven worked for 4 hours and broke again. We called customer service again and we were told that there was nothing he could do for us because it had not been 24 hours since the tech was at our house. He did say he would put a notation for the tech to call us the next day. No one called on December 12, so on December 13 we called again. The CSR finally agreed to order the parts without waiting for a service call, and scheduled the next available date for repair on December 21. We specifically said we did NOT want the same tech to come out. On December 21 we were quite shocked when the same tech showed up, was as rude as ever, refused to the install the board and only installed the igniter (which he failed to order on the first repair). All in all, my oven was broke for almost the entire month of December. I will NEVER make another appliance purchase from Sears again.

The door handle fell off the oven and the oven door fell open in pieces. The product is defective. I have tried reattaching it and it has fallen apart again numerous times. The screws are not long enough. I could easily have been burned or injured if the door fell on me. The outer piece of glass inside the door slipped down. This could have shattered. Called Sears. They offered to send a tech at my expense.

I purchased this stove (Kenmore Elite Range 79078303013) a couple of years ago. I called to order a replacement part and received the wrong one. Just to get a return label to return the wrong part and get the new one has taken 5 phone calls and over 5 hours on the phone in different occasions! So I called again to replacement the part and its no longer manufactured! I am being sold a replacement part for 3 times of its original price. I am very disappointed with the quality of the product. Did I mentioned I purchased a stainless steel range for it to have Plastic all around it? I hate it!!! I feel cheated on this purchase. I didnt notice it was plastic top range trim on the stove until it Broke. By that time it was too late to return. I cook a lot, when ever you use the oven and stove it brakes with the heat. After all its plastic. After spending 3 hours just today to order part and sure it will fit no solution was made. When I ASKED TO TALK TO A SUPERVISOR OR MANAGER I NEVER GOT TO. Waited over 2 hours just to find my call dropped or accidentally disconnected. Over all I will never purchase from Sears ever again!! This stove is not near a Stainless steel stove. My part was never ordered or my questions were never answered. I have a stove with broken trim fairly new.

My mom has had this model stove for a while but after the first year the racks started falling down. The oven expands and the racks fall down. Last thanksgiving I lost the bird and was pissed, almost burnt my entire arm. Now its an everyday occurrence these days to the point that anyone that tries to use the oven lose rack of items. Ive burn my hand twice, and my nieces and nephews are not allowed to use the oven. MY mother is 75 and had not had a new stove ever and she saved up years to buy this piece of **!!! VERY DANGEROUS OVEN. HOW COULD THEY NOT RECALL THIS DANGEROUS OVEN???? IT is a BIG safety hazard. Last year we called Sears and they would not help in any way. WHY would a company wait for LAWSUIT before they correct a problem. THIS IS SO VERY DANGEROUS FOR ANYONE TO USE. NEVER BUY KENMORE stoves. I will be posting this on my several twitter feeds and Facebook profiles. This is a terrible way to treat a senior citizen!!!!

Kenmore HE Washer Warranty Repair Disaster. Now entering the 4th month of this total **! 4 separate technician visits and the inability of the company to send proper parts (if they even exist) have made me no longer sorry to see Sears go the way of the dinosaur. The overseas call center has proven to be more frustration than help and all I can say is if this is the way of the future, we are all hosed. I currently have 3 tubs and other parts taking up space in my basement and garage and am no closer to a repair than when I called in April. I want this piece of crap out of my house along with the incorrect pile of parts they sent. No more SEARS for me.

I purchased a Whirlpool built HE Oasis Washer, Kenmore brand but Whirlpool constructed. It really is a piece of junk. I paid right at $1,000 in the fall of 2008 and within three months, I needed a service call. Then right after the one year warranty, I needed several parts replaced and now one year after, it has three error codes. Everyone is recommending the LG machines for everything because they last much longer! I am certainly not going to throw my money away on a Whirlpool appliance any longer. I went through the same thing with our refrigerator and microwave. I bought Whirlpool in 1980 and swore by it. I didnt replace an appliance (purchased washer, dryer, stove, refrigerator and dishwasher) all at the same time in June of 1980. All appliances lasted for 15+ years. Now, Whirlpool doesnt make anything to last! Large appliances are much too expensive to have to replace every three to five years!

Kenmore Elite electric range # 7909802. We have had this range for six years and today the rack in the bottom oven fell, spilling the Thanksgiving turkey all over. We have called Sears about the problem and they want $120 to have a man come out to look at the range. We are not the only ones that this has happened to doing a internet search revealed a long list of unhappy customers some have been injured because of the faulty ovens.

We purchased our Kenmore stove Model #790.97453804 in June 2010 and until this weekend everything ran smoothly. Just as we had finished dinner the outer glass on the oven door exploded!! Glass blew out about 3 ft. all over the kitchen floor. Our grandson had just walked past the door. This could have been far worse than it was. A visit to Sears on Sunday proved futile as, you guessed it, they had not heard of this happening and didnt know this type thing could happen. Luckily I had taken pictures of everything as proof & showed them. All they did was provide phone numbers, which I called. They could only schedule a service call. I checked the internet for any recalls on this particular model and found none. So we bought another stove but it was NOT a Kenmore. No more Kenmore appliances for our family.

My Kenmore microwave is 16 months old and it is arcing. I called Kenmore and they said SORRY. If you dont have insurance then we cant help you. Is the quality so bad that a consumer is forced to take out insurance now? I will never buy Kenmore products again. Now I am afraid that the stove, refrigerator and dishwasher will end up in the trash also. Do not buy Kenmore products. They are not what they used to be.

This Kenmore range was purchased from Sears Canada 31 years ago. It has only needed three repairs in all that time - one burner had to be replaced, the control knobs were replaced (more cosmetic than repair) and one of the wheels came off the warming drawer. It still looks good, with the enamel intact, control panel intact and burner rings good. The only complaint Ive ever had about it is the material used for the control panel is hard to keep clean-looking. You cant just wipe it down with a dishcloth, it needs window cleaner to look clean.

Have had no problem with it and seems to be very efficient. Last year the power went out for two days and the food was still cold. We had not opened the door. 24 cubic foot, held everything we needed and more with this side by side. Eggs milk and other things with plenty of room to spare. When we bought a birthday cake last year that fit also. I really liked the stainless steel, was not only easy to clean but matched the dishwasher and the cook top. The black water dispenser also was a good match with the range hood. It was definitely worth what we paid for it and they took the old one with them after they installed this. It looked really nice there especially with the stainless steel.

I purchased a bunch of Kenmore Elite kitchen appliances from Sears 3 years ago - a gas range, a dishwasher and an over range microwave and hood combination. The problem happened with the microwave. When opening the door of the microwave recently, a peace of plastic from the edge of it got broken all of a sudden and fell on the floor. It was definitely not caused by us, or our inaccurate using of that equipment. We are very neat people, do not use the microwave frequently, just a couple of times a week and always very accurately. The problem was definitely caused by a disguised damage that the door obviously had since the beginning. Our attempt to receive a reasonable service from Sears resulted in an estimate in the amount of almost $400.00 for replacing the door, while the total price of the entire new product when we purchased it 3 years ago was $499.99. We understand that our product is not covered with a warranty any more, but, assuming that the damage (a very unusual and caused definitely by a disguised problem), can the repair price provided to us be considered reasonable? Just after 3 years of a very gentle usage of said appliance? It is obviously that both the manufacturer and the Sears corporation are not interested for their products to last long so that the people have to buy new frequently, increasing their profits. We are extremely disappointed and advise people not to purchase any appliances from Sears and avoid purchasing Kenmore products at all. Kenmore does not have a direct customer service, all attempts to contact them are transferred to Sears, while Sears representatives refuse to provide any reasonable help telling us that the repair price depends only on manufacturer. Once again, its just 3 years of an extremely gentle, infrequent and neat usage of that microwave and weve done nothing for this to happen, however, now we have to make a choice between repairing it for almost the price of a new one or buy a new one. Our previous microwave served us almost two decades and we would still have it if not the kitchen remodeling - the reason we decided to buy a new one. We will never purchase any Kenmore product anymore, nor we will purchase it from Sears. People, be careful - Kenmore and Sears are not reliable!!!

August 2015, I purchased a Kenmore Elite Convection Oven MODEL #970C693832. Its a beautiful oven which came with a major problem. The red flag should have been noted when it was delivered, and the glass control panel fell off; this was before it was even brought into my kitchen. I asked them to return it, and we got a new one a week later. Three months in, the same thing happened again; the glass control panel fell off. I called Sears, and they sent a technician to fix it with a new control panel. The technician mentioned to me that the only thing holding the control panel is glue. When the oven is in use, every time I use my oven, the glue is melting away. Theres no frame to support it, when the glue melts off. How is this even safe? Last week, the same problem happened again, the glass control panel fell off. I called Sears again.Today, a technician from Sears came in to check it out and will be fixing it again with a new control panel. So until he comes back, and fixes it, I have to use tape to hold up the control panel in order to use the oven. Luckily, its still under the extended warranty, but I cant keep calling Sears to replace the control panel every time the glue melts. Instead of sending a technician to fix the same problem, Sears should replace this appliance because this problem will happen again, and they know it. This oven is not good, and I would never recommend it. Sears should do its part and make sure they are selling their customers good appliances that they can rely on. I am very disappointed with my appliance from Sears, and I wish Sears would make good appliances with top-of-the-line materials and parts. Sears needs to do a quality check assurance on their appliances before they go on the market. We as customers cannot afford to expend so much money on products that either dont last, or have problem with their parts.

Are these just throw away stoves? Bought a house with Kenmore appliances. Lucky then we had home warranty. First the refrigerator kept freezing up, so warranty sent out Sears to fix it. It was the timer bad. Model 10657368702- 2009 model. Then the stove/oven start burning everything we baked. It was stuck on broil. Warranty company again sent out Sears, said control panel was bad. A week later same thing, Sears was sent back out, control panel, diff. service tech. Ok its working again. Keep in mind, we were starting on pies for the holidays when it chard them to a crisp. Now less than year later, its control panel again. Stuck on broil and smoke you out. Home warranty has now expired. This part is over a $100! No dreaming way. How much is this stove going to cost us in the end? Under home warranty I was paying a copay, now this. The model # is 79096018502. Its now sitting in our kitchen and useless. Gotta pay to haul this thing off now. Its not that far from new. Come on now, three control panels in less than a year at over $100 a pop. So, do we as a Kenmore customer keep buying this control panel at that $100 or would you risk buying another Kenmore and most likely have same expense happen again?

This is the worst stove I have ever had, the oven control panel went out one year and two weeks after purchase from Sears, replaced the oven panel cost over $100.00. One year later it has gone out again. BAD BAD STOVE... DO Not buy this stove.

I too have a Kenmore stove (Model #C970-648229) with falling racks! I have e-mailed Sears with no solutions. Ive been to their store where the stove was purchased. They even took a rack and have never returned it. They have suggested I pay for a service call to have an agent come out to tell me what the problem is... I know what the problem is - the racks no longer fit the oven! Apparently I have found out it has something to do with the lining of the walls in the oven??? Every time I have my oven on to bake something I hear this crash and the racks have fallen and my item being baked ends up spilling all over the oven. I am very, very frustrated with this. I will never buy anything from Sears again!!! And it seems they dont want to deal with this problem!! Has anyone received relief?

I own a Kenmore Range Model # 790.97453804. Its about 5 years old. Last night just after dinner the glass on the front of the door exploded! Shattering into pieces all over our kitchen for no apparent reason. I contacted two numbers, one for Sears, and one for Kenmore. Neither customer service person would do anything to listen to my problem or what happened. Like little programmed robots they repeated over and over it is out of warranty and they will send a technician out to assess what needs to be fixed at which time I can pay them for the repairs plus labor or pay for the service call. I decided to go online and order the parts myself. During the course of conversation with the repair specialist I find out: 1) This is a known issue. 2) The stove was manufactured by Frigidaire. 3) Its an issue with insulation in the door frame (part #7 on the diagram of the door). 4) The manufacturer recommends you replace it every 18 months. To which I responded, and how are we supposed to know that? Technician responded I am the parts specialist and we have the resources from the manufacturer. Its extremely sad that something as dangerous as this can continue and nobody is doing anything about the defective product.

Recently bought a house that is only 5 yrs old. Builder or previous owners equipped the home with all Kenmore appliances. In the 14 months since I have lived in this home, all of these appliances have either completely failed or are starting to. After only 6 yrs of use, these appliances are nothing but trouble. These machines are obviously well beyond their warranty terms so I have absolutely no recourse to have them repaired and even if I did, there is no chance that I would. It is quite clear to me that if you wish to purchase appliances for your home that you expect to last, DO NOT BUY KENMORE!!! The microwave is completely nonfunctional, the range has started to fail, the dishwasher never worked well, the clothes washer leaks and has been replaced and the clothes dryer has begun to fail. I WILL NEVER BUY A KENMORE APPLIANCE AS LONG AS I LIVE!!!

It has been reliable so far for 2 years and never an issue. Had one Kenmore microwave before for 15 years before it gave out and never an issue. They are worth the money and easy to use. I would recommend any product that is kenmore. Refrigerator, stove and microwave since I have owned all 3.

My Kenmore double oven circuit board went bad a month after the warranty went out. Called Sears and they said that I should have bought the extended warranty. They agreed to pay half the cost. A year later the new board went bad and I replaced it myself. Now a year after that the board is going bad yet again. The board cost about 200 bucks. There should be a recall on this expensive piece of junk. No more Sears products for me.

The oven racks fall with little or no weight placed on them. It is so bad that they now dont fit. Ive read online that the interior lining of the oven expands and the racks fall. This is a MAJOR safety hazard. I have been burned and my wife has been burned as a result. After informing the operator who took my call that I am an attorney, the operator transferred me to a line for immediate help. The immediate help was for the operator and not me, as the transferred line hung up on me.

This Kenmore oven is great! Its big and had room for multiple food items to bake, broil and warm up. I love the timer that is on it, very helpful. The touch screen is above and out of reach of small children, so they cant accidentally start the oven. Also the knobs to turn on the flame, you have to push then turn to light the flame, which is harder for a child to do. I have had this stove for over 5 years, never a problem with it. Very easy to clean as well. Great stove/oven overall.. I have the black one too, matches my kitchen, lol. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great stove..

The refrigerator was well-built, simple and before we had to replace it, it lasted quite a while to what I imagined the normal life of a refrigerator should be especially with so many people in and out constantly for food or ice. Towards the end it didnt stay as cold, especially not when actually filled. Had to rearrange the refrigerator periodically, but overall very roomy. Held enough to readily feed 5 people daily, 2 of which usually had to have their own meals. The refrigerator has no fancy gadgets but easy to clean.

The washer machine doesnt fail to work. I have had it for a long time and it still hasnt worn its performance. It cleans everything perfectly and without fail. I can always trust this machine. It has never proven bad. This machine is reliable for any clothes and large to fit them into it. The appearance of this washer machine is marvelous. It fits perfectly in next to the dryer. The funny thing is the two machines next to one another fit perfectly in the laundry room. It is well worth the value. It has never let me down. I have had this washer machine for 3 years and it still acts as if its brand new. Im amazed.

I bought a Kenmore gas range at Sears. 4 months later the oven control went off. Because the appliance still on the manufacturer warranty I called to Sears customer service (the worst customer service I ever contacted). They set me an appointment for the next three days. I was waiting on the technician and never showed up. I called back again to Sears and then they give me a number for a company named GKB services (I dont know who is more incompetent, Sears customer service or GKB services) that is going to fix my appliance. GKB send me back to Sears, and Sears send me to GKB.Thanksgiving day was a nightmare thanks to Sears and GKB services, (I have to eat Kentucky Fried Chicken for my Thanksgiving dinner). However it has been 2 months and the stupid Kenmore gas range still without to get fixed. I dont know what to do. Nobody help me to fix that appliance, (Im really disappointed until the point to go to Sears to dropped the stupid appliance) with my frozen turkey, that I never get cooked. I tried everything and both Sears and GKB doesnt fix my range. Did someone know what can I do to get the appliance fixed?

Love the brand. I have been a Kenmore customer since I moved out on my own. Both my parents and Grandparents were Kenmore lovers. I have had both washer and dryers as well as stove, microwave. I have never had the brand fail me. I have even purchased Kenmore appliances used due to their reliability and my inability to afford a new appliance. My fridge has even cooling. No warm spots. There is also more than enough room for all of my needs. The height is good, all my bottles and jugs fit upright, no laying things down so the contents can leak out. Its also easy to see what youre looking for. I like the ability to change my shelves to fit the needs, such as the holidays fitting all the pies, desserts and salads in and still having room for all the regular fridge items. However, I dont like the plastic shelf barriers. They should be metal. So if something is a bit large it just bulges instead of breaking. I dont care for shortness of the drawers. I thought they were longer so things like stalks of celery and bags of carrots fit without trimming them.

When opening oven door on Kenmore wall oven, handle fell off one side and glass door exploded into me. There were shards of glass everywhere, even countertops, and I had a small cut on my foot. The company is sending a repairman who we have to pay $250, despite all the phone calls and emails to corporate. We feel this was a defective piece of equipment, and seeing several other complaints of similar happenings, I feel we should not have to pay for service call or the repair/replacement. I will never buy Kenmore products again after this incident. And will do my best to spread the word.

Purchased oven in 2013. Worked well for a while, but now I am having a problem with the controls. Recently, the oven control panel has started flickering and will not completely shut down when the ovens timer reaches zero. Big disappointment!

My 10 months old barely used not one spill caught on fire cooking Thanksgiving turkey. The fire was huge from turkey dripping a little. I thought it was an isolated incident. Three months later (I cleaned the oven and it was spotless), Paula Dean French toast casserole spilled and caused a huge scary smokey fire during a bridal luncheon. Sears has done nothing except charge me a service call to have 2 technicians come out and look at it. The bottom of the oven is melted. I am furious! Sears told me I should have purchased the extended warranty. (12 months old) My old oven lasted 28 years with 10 times the use! Sears wont do anything. Charged me 140 dollars to have 2 technicians come and stand there and look at it. They didnt remove or check anything

The two-year old Kenmore stainless steel gas range I bought in November of 2010 was in the house. On August 7th 2011, I had opened the oven door and brushed against the corner edge and received a bad cut. It took 20 stitches to close it up. Has this happened to anyone before?

I went to Sears 3 months ago because I needed a new propane water heater, they were the only ones at the time with a unit in my size. I told the salesman I needed a propane water heater and he told us, they only sold propane heaters at his location. He looked it up and I got one along with the parts to hook it up. The unit was supposed to be for propane and the box was mark so, so I took it home and hooked it up. It started right up and ran fine for three months, then stopped working. After some head wringing, I found the cause and a reset button by the thermo coupler, rest it and it didnt work on the light setting, have to put it on low now to light. Noticed the top of the flame was a bright orange, an indication it was a gas heater, not propane, then noticed the units tag says gas only. I went back to store and they refused to help me saying, We didnt install it so were not helping you, they also refused to order, or supply me with a conversion kit for l.p. and referred me to a local hardware store, who told me it was an item we had to get through Sears.I tried looking up for the conversion kit on their site myself, but their website wont correctly search for the item, I either got ceiling fans or something else. I tried using their online assistant and they kept trying to look up for the wrong parts, and didnt know how to look them up either.

It works well for us. It is a spare refrigerator for our garage. No performance concerns. Temp stays cold and havent experienced any problems so far. We use this mainly for beverages. So for our use, the size is sufficient. May be a bit small if a family is using as their only refrigerator. So obviously it isnt anything too fancy. However, it has a nice clean look. Matches other white appliances nicely. No complaints from me. Very good value for a midrange refrigerator. Again, this is what we use in our garage for beverages and some additional storage on holidays and such. Pleased with this refrigerator.

Poor quality material. It is rusting in every corner! Also is coming apart. The control panel is loose. The burners are getting hard to clean. The top oven, I keep it covered with aluminum foil, otherwise if you cook something and it falls on the top of the stove, it’s going to stain the paint.

My Kenmore Built-in oven is a workhorse. I have had one service call in 16 years of using it, and that was due to something I did wrong. I dont know how old it is, but it was built in when we bought the house in 1999. They may no longer be as good, but one can hope.

This range has given us problems since the beginning. The racks dont slide well and can cause burning because they get stuck when trying to move them in and out. The range was almost brand new and I had to have the panel with controls replaced because it cracked, then a year later we had to have the whole cook top & burners replaced. Every time I use the self-cleaning feature, the top of the oven door gets a burn mark on it so now it is all brown making it look terrible in our new kitchen. It even melted the whole side of our microwave on the counter nearby in the self-cleaning mode. I had a tech out and he said it was safe and just to keep using it. I dont feel safe and it looks like trash. I called the resolution hotline and got a person who was from another country and I couldnt understand him so I asked for the corporate office. I was put on hold then disconnected immediately.I called right back and again, got a person I could not understand... She refused to give me the corporate number but transferred me. Now they tell me it should be safe and the burned top of the oven door is just cosmetic and they will not replace the door or the range. This is unacceptable and no consumer should have to accept having a range in their new kitchen that is brown and burned. The fact that it also melted the microwave nearby on the counter, does NOT make me feel safe in any way. The representative said I had to have 4 documented service calls for this problem and that the tech that was out to check it, stated it was safe. It is the most frustrating thing & I will not purchase any Sears products in the future, nor should you!

Kenmore oven Glass shattered while baking. I bought this new 1 1/2 years ago and this shattered while I was baking. Very dangerous. Should be recalled. Could cause injury and fire. I would never buy this again.

I really like my Kenmore microwave. It’s efficient and has given me no problems. It is stainless, is easy to clean, and wired into the wall above my stove. I have had great success with Kenmore products all through the years.

I come from a family that uses many oils and mean in their dishes so when I saw how clean this machine for our bowls I was honestly shocked. I have a small kitchen and so making space is a problem but with this machine it fits perfectly next to our oven and has never cause a problem size wise. With my Kenmore dryer I never really cared about the appearance of my appliances but this product really fits in with my modern theme. This has to be one of the most reasonable priced Kenmore items I have ever purchased lol. I definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a reasonably priced item.

My washers performance has been great. It gets the job done. It has lasted longer than any other brand. It cleans the biggest material, which would be my comforter. It had endured one of my king size comforter and a number of occasions. Also has endure tons of clothes piled on high without ever messing up. It is white with easy to read settings. I like how the controls are easy to read and adjust if needed to be changed on a different setting, due to the clothing difference. It was/is my price range for the right amount of size and settings for my family. It has held up to its value so many times and I see a few more years with it as well.

Reasonable amount of time for cycle to be completed, clothes never came out ruin in any way, machine used a fair amount of water, but never exceed amount. Have use my Kenmore for years and have not had a problem yet, no problem of any kind, no dial slipping, no buttons sticking, no nothing. Received the machine I picked out without any dents or scratching marks on it. Same color all around, no fading. My Kenmore machine was not the cheapest but it was not the most expensive one either. It was the middle of the price range that I wanted to spend and I received everything I wanted on the machine.

On opening the Kenmore convection wall oven door, the handle was loose and when I pulled on it, the entire glass door shattered, cutting my hand, ruining food on the counter, spraying glass as far as 12 from the oven. Using a whisk broom, regular broom and the vacuum, we were able to get most of the glass up and then we washed all of the kitchen rugs. If a small child or one of our pets had been next to me, some serious harm may have resulted. I have read about other customers having this problem and that replacing the door is not a safe option - it can happen again. Its a serious design flaw.I have spent at least an hour or two so far on the phone with Sears and Kenmore, last night immediately after the explosion and then again this morning. They are willing to send a repair tech to assess the problem at a cost to me of $99 because I have no extended warranty. NOT FAIR! This is their problem and they should offer ways to replace the oven with a better design or recompense me so that I can get a safe oven.

We had our Kenmore electric range for only 3 years when the oven temperature broke. After getting a technician to replace the sensor probe, we learned the entire electronic control board needed to be replaced as the oven continued to overheat. The cost of replacing this part was too expensive so after just 3 years we need to buy a new range. I WILL NEVER buy a Kenmore product again.

The washer and dryer works perfect and I would recommend it by the company. Its easy to use and they last for a very long time. Other people has bought it and was happy too. It spins really fast when clothes are in it, cleans clothes fast and takes the stains out of clothes. And Im happy with the cycles spin on it. The cycle spins are fast on it. My washer and dryer are both white. I use both of them and got them for a good price. And the company is a great company. The value is great, the price range is great. Youll be happy with it, so will the customers on the face of the planet.

Purchased Kenmore model 106.72153 Cold Spot Refrigerator at Sears in April 2013 along with Kenmore microwave, Kenmore dishwasher & Kenmore stove. The Kenmore refrigerators compressor and evaporator failed. Cost of labor & parts to fix over $1100. Only two senior occupants using the appliance. I attempted to discuss with Sears Manager at Sears Concord Mall in Wilmington DE, but before I finished explaining I was told there was nothing he (Sears or Kenmore) could do. Didnt want to hear a word I said or discuss possibilities. I was actually considering purchasing another Kenmore if an agreement could have been at least discussed. I have been a Sears customer and Kenmore purchaser for over 40 years. So much for customer loyalty and customer service.

Kenmore range model 95012102 - Broiler turned itself on and wont shut off. Too many reviews on the net about this problem with no help from Sears. Cannot risk a fire so I will be trashing it.

We have a 5 and 1/2 month old new home with all new appliances and this Kenmore microwave oven went out five weeks later. It took five weeks to get them out for repairs. It went out again in five weeks. He put everything new in that he thought would make it work. Now about five weeks later, it quit working again. Almost three weeks later, they will be back. We are using an Emerson oven from Wal-Mart we have had for years. There is only two people living in this house. I am 72 and my wife is 70. We are very careful and use our appliances with care. This is our first new home and have bought from Sears for years. We are very, very disappointed in this handling and oven. Could you please give us the service we have given you over the years? We are Christian people who expects the same service as we have given. It is apparent that this is a lemon oven and we expect your cooperation in this matter. We are very disgusted in the oven. We wait upon you for help. Thank you.

Kenmore Elite model 790.9750 - Purchased this Kenmore Double Oven from Sears in 2011. The bottom oven racks are not holding and the ridges that hold the racks have rusted. This is dangerous as it causes hot messy spills and burns when the racks and pans fall to bottom. Sears and Kenmore both deny it is a problem and one sends me to other with complaint. I know this is a problem for many of us consumers that bought these ovens. Frustrated.

I purchased a washer dryer set. I think it was expensive. Maybe in the $3,000+ range for both appliances. Within a year of buying the washing machine it had mold. We had contacted Kenmore and received no help. Our clothing always stinks and the washing machine puts out a horrific odor to our home. Why is it we cant even buy an expensive appliance and have it work well? They dont care. So now we are stuck with stinky clothes and mold that will not go away no matter how much we clean. Another disgusting company.

Ive had this range for 6-7 years now. The motherboard was replaced 8 times in 4 years (fading, blinking, etc) and yet Sears would NOT replace it, they did extend my warranty one time, but its the absolute worst. If this range (Gas, Elite, Model 790) is not a lemon, I dont know what is. The repair guy (Mikey, on a first name basis because he was here so much) came to replace it one time and the one he brought, brand new, didnt work. I would never purchase another Sears product. Kenmore used to the Gold Standard and Sears used to be the King of customer service, no longer.

Our Kenmore Elite Gas range Model 79036719500 worked fine until today. Without warning or any failure codes the touch control panel on the front seemingly has gone dead. There is power since the igniters on the top burners still spark and light. The front panel has no lights nor does it make any sounds typical of when you push buttons. The clock is out and none of the controls work.

I purchased a complete line of Kenmore Elite products to furnish my new house in September 2010. Fast forward 1.5 years later, the indoor ice maker stopped working. I lived without ice for a while until I could find a good time to get a repairman out from Sears to fix it (2013). Now, the seals on the doors collect condensation and seem to build up a residue, special. Last night, I was surprised to have the exterior glass of my oven explode on to me whilst baking at 400. 400.... pretty average baking temp, nothing thrown at the oven, dropped on it, smacked to it, nothing. Just a surprise explosion and a cut to the shin from the tempered glass flying at me.

It worked wonderfully. It is high quality. People really enjoyed their Kenmore refrigerator. It is an upright freezer, it is good for a small to large family, it is good to put in pantry or cellar. It has one door, 3 or 4 shelves. It has shelf on doors, plenty of room for extra meat or vegetables. You could place just about anywhere. Its energy efficient, too. The price range would be about 600.00 to about 2,000 dollars with 5 year warranty which would replacement parts and labor to fix it or a refund or replace with same make and model. I would recommend, it was a great idea to buy and use.

I purchased a Kenmore Elite Double Oven Gas Range in November 2011. I also bought an extended warranty. When the range was about 3 yr old the bottom oven failed to heat. It was repaired. Then this past October 2016, the bottom oven wouldnt heat. November 23rd it was repaired. I extended the warranty because with two repairs I wasnt confident with the range. Then on December 20th, I was using the top oven at 400 degrees, and everything was fine. I then turned on the bottom range at 350 degrees, and noticed it wasnt heating after about ten minutes. I opened the oven to see if it was hot. A ball of flames came out at me. I burnt my eyebrows and a good part of my hair. Luckily I was able to shut out any flames on me, and I closed the oven and shut it off.I called Sears the next morning, rather shaken to report what I consider a safety issue. They scheduled a service call so a technician could access the problem. I told them I didnt want it repaired, only replaced. I got a bit of a runaround. They first came quickly then ordered parts. Sears says it is repairable. They scheduled me for Jan 5th, and I waited all day and no one showed. Today, someone came. I said I didnt want it fixed. The service man called his supervisor, then Sears directly called me, and said as part of the process I must have it repaired then file a complaint.When I called they said I should have refused the repair, because now it is deemed in working order. I said I dont feel safe after my ordeal. The supervisor at customer service said even if I had a brand new stove, no one could guarantee my safety. Talk about confidence inspiring. I let them know I wasnt pleased with that. They then offered me a $630 credit towards a new stove. I paid $2,300. I didnt accept yet, because I dont know if I should.

Only had this piece of junk about a month when grease got between the glass panels on the oven door. The thing was under warranty so a man from Sears came out to fix it. He got the door disassembled, but was unable to put it back together. Days later, another guy came out to finish the job. The grease between the glass panels is still there! Later, upon hitting the BAKE and START buttons, the LED readout would read PRE HEATING, but unknown to us, the oven would arbitrarily refuse to light - no rhyme, no reason! A lot of meals were lost. We were STILL under warranty, so another Sears man came out. He replaced a part, but a couple of weeks later, the problem returned. He came out again with yet another part (more of this cheesy circuit board crap). Oven still wouldnt work. He returned again with yet another new part (expensive), couldnt fix the problem, left the part with us and went back to Sears, never to return. To this day the problem still whimsically comes and goes.Adding insult to injury, the oven has now begun to shut off in the middle of operation. The display panel reads E2 F3. It might just as well read, Tough luck, loser! Breads, pies, chicken, turkey, roasts. There wasnt anything my mother couldnt bake or broil with her gas range, and the thing didnt have a single circuit board, transistor, diode, capacitor or resistor in it. My Kenmore Ultra Bake Self Cleaning Super Capacity Gas Range is loaded with space-age electronic components and now it cant even bake a ** cookie!

My husband and I purchased a Sears Kenmore Stove 15 months ago. Starting in January we had problems with the electronics. We called and it took a repairman 3 weeks to evaluate the stove as he had no idea what was wrong with it. He ordered parts and we called to make another appt when the parts arrived. That took two weeks. He came to install the new parts and found out they were the wrong parts. Another two weeks went by and repairman came and installed new electronic system in stove. We had inquired about another stove but they refused and said this one could be fixed. Within an hour of him leaving the electronics went out again.Called and made another appt in two weeks time. He came out again and just rewired the original parts and from then on it seemed fine till tonight. We used the oven last night it was fine and came home today and the entire display on the stove is out. No lights to use the oven whatsoever. We had not taken the extended warranty because our parents had Kenmores for years. We are on a fixed income and do NOT have the money $90 service call and replacement parts of $360 - to spend on the stove. It would be more than we paid for the stove in the first place. I have tried every Sears # I can find and no one is willing to help me - they just say what do u want me to do. I want my stove fixed the right way and so it lasts.

The dishwasher does extremely well even on burnt on food. Removes grease with ease and rinses cleanly. It is so easy to operate that even my 10 year old uses it. Being the parent of two children and having a busy life the capacity of the dishwasher is very important. It hold all of our daily dishes and glasses in one wash cycle. The easy clean exterior of the dishwasher is very nice. The controls are not overly obvious and the appliance is eye catching. The interior shelves are nicely arranged and look good. The overall price of this dishwasher is very comparable to many others on the market, but unlike the others this product works very well. We have had no issues with this model.

Kenmore elite wall oven - Purchased in 2010, within the first 90 days, I used the self cleaning feature. It blew the thermal fuse. Repair guy informed us that there was a defect with the wall ovens that this would happen if you use the self cleaning feature. Sears replaced the oven. Our warranty ran out in August 2013. Overflow on a dish that I was cooking required me to use the self cleaning feature (first time on this oven). It locked the door after it finished cleaning. Called repair line and informed them what had happened and gave them the error code. Repair man came a week later and found that the motor cause the door lock was out and they would have to order the part. I dont understand why they did not bring one with them. I asked the gentleman to please bring a thermal fuse based on the last oven. Week 2 the repair guys shows up and puts the motor in and guess what? It will not heat due to the THERMAL FUSE being out. He does not have a thermal fuse with him and they will have to order the part and it will be another week. At this point I have blown my own fuse. 3 weeks without a oven that you told them on the phone what was wrong and they did not bring the parts with them is just a little much for me. PLEASE do not purchase KENMORE appliances unless you too want to experience the frustration that we have. I will never own another. Pass this on to everyone. This was purchased in Bowling Green, KY.

I owned a Kenmore refrigerator for many years. I liked the interior arrangement and found it easy to work with. The Kenmore ran maintenance free for many years. I would recommend Kenmore appliances to anyone looking for quality and dependability.

This really gets our clothes clean. Its very quiet, wrings the clothes out perfectly and dries the clothes very quickly. It also hold a good amount of clothing so it cuts laundry time. We love it. It holds more than our last one. It has a clean look, too. Its not over the top with buttons. It is to understand and operate. Even the kids can figure it out which is very helpful. It was just perfect for our price range - very affordable though we had little difficulty raising the money for our new washer. But it works quietly and is effective for our daily needs.

We bought top loading high efficiency low water washer SN C54547545 in July 2016. It took a lot longer to wash a load. This year 2019 it started acting strange. The clothes were too wet and I’d drain/spin again. Checked the troubleshooting section-nothing worked. My husband put clothes in dryer while I was out and the load was too heavy, causing my dryer to burn up. Now I’m looking to buy both. Washers should last longer than 3 years!

I purchased brand new Kenmore elite range. I used the self clean feature once. Oven will not bake. Cannot find any solutions, there are blogs that recommend a reset button but this model does not have a reset button. I dont have the $ to replace it. Expensive paperweight. I will never buy anything Kenmore again. I already learned the lesson about Maytag brand years ago.

Bought a Frigidaire appliance package for a new home build in 2008. 36 Cooktop, 30 Double wall oven, Dishwasher, and side by side Fridge. All in stainless steel. Had to replace the wall oven within 4 years, replaced dishwasher a year later. Cooktop is now on its second service for a product recall and will most likely be replaced very soon. Fridge quit making ice within 6 years. Replaced wall oven with Kenmore Pro (another Frigidaire/Electrolux product). It had to be serviced within a year and is crapping out again but is now out of warranty. Sure dont make stuff like they used to. Rest assured that my replacements will not have those names attached. >$10,000 in 10 years time on appliances is pretty ridiculous. I gave them 2 stars because they are helpful and nice when I call for recall service.

Purchased Sears Kenmore Elite refrigerator in January of 2013. We had a problem with the water line in January. The tech fixed the problem in February after the part arrived. Next we started having problems with the water dispenser. The dispenser would freeze not allowing us to get any water. We scheduled another repair which took about 3 weeks. The tech came 1 hour 45 minutes late with an 18-year old girl whom he said was his daughter. The tech worked on the refrigerator and left. By the time he got to the end of the driveway the refrigerator was not working again. I called for another service appt. and was scheduled for 2 weeks later. The same repairman arrived on time with the same 18-year old girl. The tech worked on the refrigerator and said he had the temperature as low as it could go and fixed the water dispenser. I was told not to keep the milk at the top of the refrigerator because it was freezing. 2 days after the repairman left the water dispenser was not working again. We were also experiencing things at the top of the refrigerator freezing. Service was called again and about 3 weeks later a tech arrived on time to repair the water dispenser. This time the tech used our hair dryer to unthaw a pipe at the bottom of the refrigerator behind the crisp bins. The tech said that we needed to keep food items away from the walls of the refrigerator and away from the sensor. The tech arranged the items in the refrigerator to help us out. One day after he left the same problem reoccurred. Service was called again and was scheduled 3 weeks later. We are waiting for February 11th to see the outcome of this repair. Someone has to take off work each time we need service. This has been a nightmare! Each time you call service you are transferred and placed on hold for one half hour at a time.

Bought this fridge and matching stove 3yrs ago. I purchased this brand, as did much research on reviews of Kenmore. With that and feeling Sears had a quality product, I purchased them. Three years later, my fridge went totally out. I had no reason to think a Kenmore would crash in 3 years. Threw out hundreds of dollars in food. And this is where things go horribly wrong.There is no longer a warranty, it’s only a year. Sears wants $1700 to repair. I don’t have a $$ tree in my yard. So then I bought a Choice Home warranty. The rep on the phone said, No worries ma’am, this is covered. I told him it was already out. Waited my 30 days, and filed a claim. They send out the same tech as Sears. He’s in the house 3 minutes, tops. Calls me to say they won’t cover it. Pre-existing condition. I’ve now paid for 2 service calls. And no working fridge still.I turn to Kenmore and reach out for help. I gave them 2 voices, either fix my fridge for free or replace with a comparable fridge to what I have. The man chose to repair it. Five phone calls later, Yes it’s in your file, diagnostic fee waived, no charges on parts and labor. But, yesterday, the tech calls wanting to know if I still want him there. He has no paperwork that there’s no charge. Mind you, Kenmore set this up and supposedly wrote notes. I called Kenmore. Oh yes, it’s right here, no charges. He says, I’ll send this over for your tech. Hours later, he don’t have this to come fix it. I call back. Now, this guy says he has no access to those notes and wants to transfer me to another department. I still have no working fridge. I’ve contacted 2 local tv stations to look into my story, and hopefully get it fixed. Buyer beware. Buy another brand, not a Kenmore Elite. It was priced just under $3000. Not worth it.

I purchased my refrigerator from Sears in 2009. In the first year, I experienced the inside light not turning off and melting the cover to the lights. I am well out of warranty now, and my fridge stopped making anything cold. No error codes or signals, opened my fridge and freezer to puddles of cesspool of muck. It appears as though everything is fine from the outside. Apparently I need a new condenser. I have had nothing but countless strange problems with my fridge, hindsight is 20/20 now. I would NEVER purchase another from Sears or Kenmore. Expensive pile of chrome junk, paperweight at best.

We bought the Kenmore elite refrig. and electric cook stove. Both a piece of junk. Have had 3 yrs now and nothing but trouble... Refrig, compressor, blowers and other things have went out. The cook stove the panels kept going out, which we have gotten rid of and went back to our gas stove. The refrig. has another problem. It is showing the error F1. They will be out tomorrow to check it and it has only been about 3 months since the compressor and blowers were fixed... We are also having problem with the bottom freezer compartment. It keeps coming off its track... I recommend not spending your hard earned money on these two products... They are junk.

We purchased the Kenmore Elite Double Oven Gas Range Model 790 in Nov. 2011 & contrary to our usual approach, bought the 3-year extended warranty in part because the stove was expensive, being on sale for almost $1800. On Oct 30, 2014, the oven would not heat & a technician replaced the upper oven bake ignitor. Whew!...we thought. Lucky for us we had the extended warranty. But wait...on Feb. 9, 2015, with the extended warranty expired by about 2 1/2 months, the oven was turned on for use. While waiting for it to pre-heat, the oven started beeping wildly, then a terrible electrical burning smell flooded the house. My husband raced to the kitchen to see flames shooting out of the vents in the back. He managed to get the fire out and the gas turned off. The entire backside of wires was charred. We took photos & went to Sears where the Manager told us there was nothing he could do. He said it was up to the Service (1-800-4-MY HOME). We were incredulous that Sears does not have its own managers making these types of customer service decisions, but rather that the repair service to which they contact has that authority! I reminded him this was not a user error in that we did not set off a grease fire, but that the stove CAUGHT ON FIRE! We suggested that we thought Sears should take that very seriously, as a house fire could have resulted. He went on to repeat that Service would charge us to come out to verify & assess the damage & likely offer us no satisfaction. We previously bought appliances from Sears, but no longer. All our friends are incredulous that Sears is not replacing this stove.

Kenmore Range model 970-67843 - Hello, We are hoping that you can help us resolve our defective Kenmore range, which we purchased new from Sears in Kelowna, BC 4 years ago. We have always purchased Kenmore appliances, and have always been happy with them. So when we lost our home to a fire in 2009, and rebuilt it, we once again, purchased all Kenmore appliances including Frigidaire manufactured range and fridge. We felt confident that we were buying a quality product, but did purchase the 3 year extended warranty as well, which has of course, expired. Then this Thanksgiving, Oct 2014, we had just about finished cooking our Thanksgiving dinner when we heard a buzzing noise and saw black smoke coming from the back to the range. We turned it off and the next day, turned the oven on, only to find that it did not work at all. The cooktop does work still. We called Sears only to be told that the warranty was expired and we were out of luck. So we took the range to a repair service, who told us that it would cost us at least $500.00 to fix the oven. This does not seem right, when our appliance is only four years old. Clearly there was a manufacturing defect. We cannot afford to buy a new range, or pay hundreds of dollars to fix this one, and we are asking Frigidaire, as the manufacturer, to stand behind your product. We have been without an oven for two months now, and that is not an easy thing at this time of year. Please respond and let us know that we can feel confident in our purchase. This stove is not only defective, but dangerous, and should be recalled.

I purchased a custom home a few years ago and the microwave and oven combo were installed. The paint has peeled inside my microwave and is now rusted. I have called customer service and they advise purchasing a whole new set, although this is almost new or very gently used. Customer service is not helpful (extended wait hold time; ignorant product sales representatives who transfer to other departments with ignorant personnel). When I asked to speak to a supervisor the call was dropped...This has happened on numerous occasions, so it is not just a fluke. I will NOT purchase ANY KENMORE product ever! I advise others to consider purchasing any other brand but KENMORE.

I purchased a Kenmore Elite Oven Model #790 980 23800 about 4 years ago. Cost over $1,600.00. In the past several months I have noticed the oven racks will fall down. This can be a hazard because of the heat of the pan and possible spilling of contents. I logged onto the web and found a Kenmore site that had a few complaints on this oven. I reached out to a rep there who did have a repair man come out. He stated that it would cost $600.00 to fix, which is unacceptable.Went back to Kenmore and they advised me that since I do not have an extended warranty I would need to pay. They would negotiate the price. I think this is a defect, not something that the consumer should be responsible to fix. According to Kenmore rep if it is a defect then the manufacturer, Frigidaire would be responsible.Today I called Frigidaire and was told once the name Kenmore is on the product and it is sold by Kenmore the liability and rights are Kenmore. Waiting to hear back from Kenmore on Frigidaire’s response. The issue is I as a consumer bought a costly product from Kenmore and unless I buy an extended warranty they do not stand behind the product. Not to mention this issue is a hazard. Someone could get burnt very easily when a hot pan falls in an oven. Please let me know if there is any other steps I can take. Thank you.

Love this ice maker and cold water. Very economical also. Has shelves that you can move to suit your needs and easy to clean. The side of the refrigerator has so much room for milk, soda. They can fit any size soda bottle. Its 25 cubic. It is fantastic and meets all my family needs. You can arrange the shelves for height to fit your family needs. It has 2 drawers on the bottom for vegetables and cold cuts. Its freezer has loads of shelves and a huge slide out bin on the bottom. It freezes excellent, nothing is ever soft. I own the stainless steel one. It is very attractive and easy to clean with Windex and paper towels. I love the sleek modern look in my kitchen. It goes with any color on any other appliances you might own. It really looks like an expensive appliance but it was very reasonable price at my Sears store. It freezes very fast so food is not ruined and nothing has to be thrown out which saves you lots of money in the long run.
