PROBLEM: Hot & cold fill hoses are reversed 
FIX: Check the fill hoses. If they are connected properly then the inlet water thermistor (temperature sensor) will probably need to be replaced. That component is part of the Inlet Water Valve Wire Harness. 

CODE: F9 E1 
PROBLEM: Long drain time 
FIX: The washer isn't draining after the drain pump runs for 10 minutes. Check the washer drain and the drain hose for clogs or restrictions. If the drain path is clear, unplug the washer and check the drain pump. If the drain pump is defective, replace it.

PROBLEM: No fill or long fill 
FIX: Water isn't being detected as entering the washer. If the washer isn't filling, check the water supply faucets behind the washer to make sure that they are fully open. Check the fill hoses and inlet water valves. If the inlet water valve assembly is defective, replace it. If water is entering the machine but not being detected, then the main electronic control board (which includes the water level pressure switch) will usually need to be replaced. 

CODE: Spin LED on 
PROBLEM: Long drain time 
FIX: The washer did not drain after the drain pump has been running for 10 minutes. Check the washer drain and the drain hose for clogs or restrictions. If the drain path is clear, unplug the washer and check the drain pump. If the drain pump is defective, replace it.

9/2012 I purchased the Kenmore Elite top load machine from Sears. Once it was 2 years old, I continuously get the UE error code. It may take 3 tries and 2 hours to rebalance and get the load washed. Additionally, it is beginning to twist clothes tightly and tear seams of towels. I am being told this machine has no service recalls on it. I am responsible for the repairs.I purchased the same machine in 2010, with the EXACT same troubles. After a great amount of research, I discovered these problems were indeed a service recall. It is the exact same machine (only later model) with the exact same troubles! The same machine should not have the same troubles and not be a part of a recall.

The Kenmore dishwasher consistently cleans well and does not overtax my water bill. It is also easy to clean and I am more than pleased with the performance, mechanics and aesthetics of this dishwasher. The biggest test to me was after Thanksgiving dinner we had an enormous amount of dishes and it fit them and cleaned them like a champ. I was utterly stoked and amazed at just how many dishes we fit in this dishwasher. Our kitchen is professional grade, all stainless steel appliances and this dishwasher blended right in seamlessly. I have recommended the dishwasher to my friends and family due to the fact that it not only looks good but the functionality is superb. With this dishwasher you could have doubled the price.

Very easy to use, easy to keep clean, works very well. The washer almost 15 years and it went through two families. And even a few children showing up from college to do their laundry, so I am very pleased with these product, and the next one I bought was the same product also. I own a washer and a dryer for years, I had very little repair done to either one of them, then I needed repair. They came out very quickly, done a very nice and fast job, clean up any messes that they did, made sure the machine was up and running right before the repair man left which I always really like, cause a lot just say it is fixed and leave, so I will always be please with this product. I have always thought that this product was a good looking, even though it was in my basement and really no one ever seen it unless they did laundry, but I feel if the machine set out where anyone could see it I would be proud of the machine, cause it is a nice looking machine. These machine I found when I had to buy a new one was the best value around. And of course they were one only ones I really looked at because they are a well working machine and (if) it broke down, it wasnt a problem to find someone to fix anything that was wrong, and usually it could be fixed which I like a lot.

My previous Kenmore dryer was twenty years old but had to replace due to cellar being flooded or it would be still working today. My dryer now is six years old and runs like it is brand new. It is very reliable, efficient and trustworthy. It is well-made and strong and sturdy. Has a modern appearance and fits well. Was easy to install and runs quietly. It does the job for my needs, and does a good job at drying the clothes. This dryer was of great value to meet my budget. For the size and price it is the ideal dryer for one or two people in a household. It is a product I would recommend to anyone.

I bought a new Kenmore washer 7/2011. It will not rinse in the normal and heavy duty cycles but rinses normally in the casual cycle. The repairman was prompt and knowledgeable – no complaints there but he told me that was what the washing machine was programmed to do.

Refrigerator maintains temperature throughout. With my last fridge things on the back shelf would freeze and items on the front of the shelf would get warm. No temperature balance. Have not had any problems at all with this unit. All items stay same temperature. Problem free. Plenty of room for a family of four. Smart space on shelves and doors. We store around ten days of food in my HE fridge and about a months worth of frozen items in the freezer. This refrigerator has a very clean modern look to it. I believe it came in more colors we have. The steel matches other appliances perfectly. This unit was not the cheapest to buy nor was the most expensive. I feel we got a great value for our dollar. Three years maintenance free so far. The last two refrigerators we had were from LG and a generic brand. Both had major problems within a year.

This is a tough machine, handles large heavily soiled loads. It has never given us any problems at all. Were outside a lot, play and work hard, so we need deep, thorough cleaning - and this machine gives us that. It consistently handles large loads of dirty towels, deeply soiled jeans and a car mechanics greasy overalls, leaves them smelling and looking like new. It always delivers. It has a simple, clean look, goes with any decor. Ours is kind of out in our kitchen area; we dont have a separate room for it, and it blends right in. We have definitely gotten more than our moneys worth with this washing machine already, and it just keeps going. Its been problem free and so worth the cost.

I liked that I could recognize the name. I really liked the refrigerator for many reasons. It was Easy to use and organize. It looks modern and yet classic. It was the best quality of refrigerator for the price. It met my expectations for keeping things cold. However, I wish the material was made of a harder material that could withhold young kids using it. There are cracks in some of the drawers. The fridge could have Deeper door spaces for the fridge doors too. I would like ways to customize it as well. In addition, I wish it came in other colors. I also wish there were more in store models to look at or a way to visualize it in the space.

The Kenmore refrigerator I had was an upper freezer/lower refrigerator model that actually ran for close to 15 years before I had to replace the unit. It never broke down but it never had the extra amenities like Ice Maker. It was the only refrigerator I owned that never experienced zonal freezing, where items in the back of the fridge will freeze. Overall a steady workhorse unit.

Easy to use. It got all the dishes clean. Didnt leave any grease on the dish. No streaks on the glasses. I liked using my dishwasher. Made doing dishes easier to wash.

I like the way it looked in the kitchen that it was in. I love the fact that the door was on a swivel hinge. The door never got squeaky and was not too heavy. I also love that there was an ice maker on the fridge. There was a light in the fridge that was easy to replace, and the water was always really cold. I was very thankful that it has all of the features listed above. They made life much easier and the room in the fridge was great. The drawers were spacious and always kept my groceries, greens and fruit fresh and crisp. However, I did not like that this fridge did not have more options. I would also like to see more off the wall colors. I think that a touchscreen would have been nice. The amount that was paid for the fridge was quite hefty too. It was provided in a rental that we had moved in to. If I was a homeowner, I probably would not have paid so much for a fridge that did not have more options. I would not have this specific fridge in my home, however since I did not pay for it I was satisfied with it. I would probably buy this fridge for my own home only if the price was more reasonable for the options provided.

Purchased Kenmore from Sears Appliance Store 2 years ago. 1 week after the normal warranty ended it stopped working. I had purchased an extended warranty. So they diagnosed and ordered a replacement gear box. A week and half later they came and installed it. It was a remanufactured gear box. Immediately it smelled awful, a horrible industrial grease smell. Within a week it was making a horrible noise. We stopped using it and went out and bought a far superior brand, because I had it with Sears and Kenmore. When the old washer was removed, there was oil all over the floor underneath it. So the remanufactured gear box was total garbage, leaking oil from day one. Poor quality doesnt even begin to describe the washer or the replacement parts. No wonder Sears is looking at selling the Kenmore brand. Its worthless.

I purchase this washer about 3-4 years ago and the problem of rust is getting worst. The rust started after 1 year on the lid then it accelerated to inside and now the rust stays on most of the clothes I wash. When we look inside with a flashlight, we see that inside is all rusted and peeling off. I have a baby coming. When I tried to wash the babys clothes the rust stays on the clothes and its hard to take out. I had to rewash them by hand. Im really frustrated since we follow the manual very well to take care of this machine. I cant believe this will happen to a 3-4 years old washer since my mom is currently using a Maytag for over 10 years and it still works fine without rust. I hope to have it repair by Sears as soon as possible.

This dishwasher came with the house. I was pleased that it was a Kenmore brand, and it has proved to be a great appliance. It does its job, it is quiet and effective. Ive yet to find any reason to replace it. I will look at Kenmore when I do have to though. The racks are well made so placement of my dishes is easy. Basket for silverware is a breeze to use. The top rack has plenty of room above it for tall glasses and other items that require the top rack. Spacing on the racks is good, items rarely fall through to the bottom rack. But, the placement of the handle where you open the door is not what I would have done. I break a nail almost every time I open it. Other than that there isnt much I would alter about this dishwasher.

Sears (Whirlpool) washer model 110 261 132411 - I purchased this washer in Oct 2016. I went back to the store to complain about the noise when the washer is filling with warm water. The washer bangs the hot and cold pipes off and on over 20 times to get warm water??? The noise is ridiculous and is annoying not only to me but to my townhouse neighbor. I have checked the pipes and they are secure to the boards. I had a service person check things out and he said they could do nothing and it was my problem. I have never had such a problem with a washer. I have always liked Kenmore products but after this I will go to Samsung.

My Kenmore dryers performance is efficient and gets the job done quickly and quietly. Its also easy to use and takes the guesswork out of trying to figure out drying times. My Kenmore dryer has plenty of room for all my needs. Its especially useful for washing larger loads of pet linens and bedding, and handles delicate clothing as well. My Kenmore dryers appearance is good. The front load feature is convenient especially when drying blankets as being able to see items helps to know if things are bunching up. My Kenmore dryer is a good value because it is energy efficient and allows me to dry more items together which in turn means being able to do fewer loads.

When I had this refrigerator it worked great. It did not freeze things in the refrigeration part of the fridge and kept them at the perfect cold temperature. The refrigerator was alright when it comes to size. I prefer to have a bigger fridge but it was all that I was able to afford at the time. The refrigerators appearance was fairly standard. It was white with the freezer on the top and the refrigeration on the bottom. It matched the kitchen paint well; which is why white is a good color to go with. For the amount that I paid for the refrigerator it was well worth the money. It was definitely not the most expensive model but for its size and cost it was better than the other available options.

My Kenmore refrigerator was a second-hand gift from my father when he purchased a new, smaller refrigerator after my mother passed. The refrigerator works well for many years and is very roomy. When the shelves are arranged efficiently, everything fits nicely. The freezer had lots of space for food and ice and enough space for large soda bottles and multiple gallon jugs. The freezer freezes quickly and refrigerator keeps foods at a safe temperature.

We purchased our house from the original owner and have had nothing but problems with the oven racks. They never used the oven, so were unaware of the problem. It is Model # C 970-418232, Serial # NF70817966. We have had the racks fall in the middle of baking something NUMEROUS times, finally with one incidence causing a serious burn. This is unacceptable! I have read that others have had the same issues, but there have been no resolutions as of yet. It is not under warranty anymore, and I dont think that this should be called a warranty issue, but should be recalled due to the risk of VERY SERIOUS burns, items breaking when rack falls, etc!!! We should be able to SAFELY use ANY of our oven racks on ANY of the shelf levels! My mother has also been burned by our oven, and my children are forbidden to use it! Has ANYONE been compensated for this problem? Has Sears ever replaced any of the racks and given the owner the correct size? I look forward to hearing more about this from other owners, and would love to hear back from Sears! This is an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS problem that needs to be fixed!

The over-the-range Kenmore microwave caught on fire where the rack attaches
The over-the-range Kenmore microwave caught on fire where the rack attaches to the internal framing. I called Sears and was passed along to FIVE different people all saying that there is no recall on this model (80323 model # 79080323310; serial #KG 60953623). Clearly there is a problem and Sears/Kenmore is not willing to acknowledge a faulty product. I have found similar examples from other customers where the microwave caught on fire in exactly the same location - where the rack inserts into the internal framing. FAULTY PRODUCT! DO NOT BUY THIS MODEL!!

This refrigerator has lasted a long time over 15 years never a problem. We have been extremely happy. We have never had to take it in to be serviced. It is big enough to hold all of our food. The size is great - it fits all of our food. The vegetables and the lunch meats. The cheeses and all of our other food. The top shelf is very good for our big items such as milk and ice tea juices. Bottles that are bigger. My refrigerator is white. It is big and fits in my kitchen very well. It is older now and theres some water deposit spots I cannot get off from the ice maker. It still cleans and looks ok. I dont know how much it is worth now but we bought it for $1500 15 years ago. It is an older model and not as modern as these new stainless steel refrigerators.

My Kenmore washer and dryer are white and modern looking. The controls are easy to choose for the right amount of clothes, the right temperature for the type of clothing being washed. The washer does not have a center agitator so you can put more clothes in it. Clothes do not get tangled up and come out clean. It is energy efficient and uses less water. Both my Kenmore washer and dryer are huge capacity so I have fewer loads as I can wait two weeks before I do the laundry. Kenmore products last a long time and I am satisfied with the performance of both the washer and dryer. The ease of using them plus the performance makes it well worth the price we paid.

The Kenmore brand has been a good brand for me. Ive had my washer and dryer
The Kenmore brand has been a good brand for me. Ive had my washer and dryer for over 10 years and have only had to make a service call one time under warranty. Since the warranty has been up, I have not had to make any service calls. The only thing that has bothered me is the odor which smells like mildew coming from the washer after the lid has been closed for a while. I solved this odor problem by sprinkling baking soda over the bottom of the washer tub. The clothing that gets washed in the machine does not smell like mildew. My parents had Kenmore appliances for years. They owned their own home so it was possible for them to buy appliances as they were needed. As a renter, I have to abide by landlord rules and get permission for the purchase of some appliances. It wasnt until I moved here early in the 2000s that I even had a washer and dryer hookup in a rental unit. Since my parents had good luck with Kenmore appliances, I decided that my washer and dryer would be Kenmore.

We purchased a 40-gallon capacity Kenmore Water Heater Model# 153.330220 fr
We purchased a 40-gallon capacity Kenmore Water Heater Model# 153.330220 from Orchard Supply Hardware almost 2 years ago. We chose to purchase a Kenmore water heater since Kenmore generally has a good reputation for making quality appliances. In December 2013, the water heater stopped working so we called the Kenmore Sales & Service number listed on the unit. They sent out a Service Technician who told us that the unit had a Code 4 due to the sediment that had accumulated at the bottom of the tank. The sediment was from the hard water in our home - despite the fact that we have a water filtering system. He explained that the sediment was setting off the Code 4 since the unit was detecting that the water temperature was extremely high. He replaced a valve & flushed the unit. The parts & service were covered because it fell within the 1st year of warranty for parts & service. Then again, on 7/23/14, the water heater again stopped working & displayed a Code 4 yet again. This time when we called for Kenmore service, we were informed that we no longer had a Service Protection Plan since the unit comes with a 6-year warranty for parts, but only 1 year for service. However, we could purchase a Sears Protection Agreement-Smart Service Agreement for $199, which would cover all parts & service/labor for 1 year. Since we need hot water, we paid $199 & scheduled a Repair Appointment for today. The Service Tech came out today & said the same thing that the last tech had said - the accumulated sediment at the bottom of the tank is setting off the Code 4. He informed us that we needed to have the tank flushed, which would cost an additional $42.50 (since this was considered Maintenance & not covered by the Service Protection Plan). He explained that he needed to flush it first then reset the unit in order to remove the Code 4. If after flushing the unit, it would not reset, then he would replace the valve. In the end, he flushed & reset it but did not need to replace the valve. However, the Service Receipt that he gave me details the following Labor Performed - Protection Agreement: E.C.O. Replace - $176.00. When I asked the tech why it stated Replace when nothing was replaced, he explained there is no option to indicate a Reset & that $176.00 was the starting price for having a Repair Tech come to our home to diagnose & do any repairs. He did recommend that we flush out the tank 1-2 times a year.So after spending $241.50 today on a unit that cost us approximately $460 almost 2 years, I feel very cheated & taken advantage of, as a consumer. Im fairly certain that in another 6-8 months, the unit will have another Code 4 or something else wrong with it. What an absolute piece of garbage we bought & what lousy customer service we have received from Sears/Kenmore! They have found a way to make money off a defective product that is obviously very high maintenance - maintenance which coincidentally is not covered by their wonderful Service Protection Agreement. We will never buy another Kenmore!!! Sears/Kenmore are complete crooks...Buyers beware!! Shame on you, Sears/Kenmore! By the way, Sears/Kenmore will not consider replacing the unit unless there are 4-5 service repairs on file for the unit or unless their Service Tech recommends it.

I find my Kenmore to be generally reliable and efficient. I dont believe that it gives the best wash results but I find them satisfactory. For the money I think it is acceptable. My primary concern is that even when I pre-treat different articles of clothing it doesnt seem to make much difference. I suspect that there are washers that would produce better results but are out of my price range to purchase.

I purchased this dishwasher because it had great reviews from Consumer Reports! After 3 years the bottom power wash blade has stopped working, and the appliance repairman said the motor is shot, and its leaking. He suggested buying a new dishwasher! I paid $1100 for this machine. No, I did not purchase an extended warranty. In addition around the same time I purchased a Sears side by side refrigerator that we keep in our garage. The temperature gauge had to be replaced as well. What has happened to Sears quality. I will never purchase another Sears appliance again.

The water of my washer will not drain plus it has all kinds of error codes. I had to pay $129.00 for a repairman to take the bottom section below the door and unscrew a 3 round end off and clean out a trap that if in the book, I could have done myself. This should be included in the care of the washers to be checked once a year. This is just another way for them to take advantage of the consumer.

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!

We shopped around and considering the price, warranty, and features the fridge met our family needs and expectations for the needs of cooking and storing food. The fridge was reliable, energy efficient and it worked for a long time not needing repairs. We like the ease of cleaning on outside and wipe down and maintaining. The most difficult part of cleaning is usually the inside but this one was fine. But it could have a better ice maker. We have historically had good experiences with the Sears brand of appliances, but sometimes the ice clogged up and didnt dispense as it should needing some manual fixing.

Our Kenmore is very powerful for an older model washer. It has all needed wash cycles. It also has a very large drum for its size and I never have a problem with clothing sitting on one side during the wash. Each cycle gives the clothing a really good cleaning. It also has a very simple look, making it easy to use. Moreover, the knobs being located on the top panel makes them easy to access after you load and close the washer. This washer gets the job done extremely well for the price. Why pay double or triple the price when you can get this model and get the exact same performance as other washers. I highly recommend purchasing it.

Recently, our Kenmore washing machine stopped functioning. The service tech came and told us it would cost $1000 to replace 2 circuit boards in the machine. We purchased this machine as an upgrade from our previous Kenmore washing machine. We have always been happy with the Kenmore brand, but now we are seriously questioning our decision to be loyal Sears customers. We did not purchase the service plan with this washing machine specifically because we felt the Kenmore brand name was quality enough. After speaking with 5 customer service reps, we got nowhere. Sears is not the company they once were.

Very dependable and washes the clothes thoroughly. The rinse cycle of my machine is quiet and each load stays perfectly balanced. Each load of laundry comes out perfectly ready for the dryer. My wife and I agree that the amount of clothes needed is met by our washer. The washer has never failed on any of the cycles. This includes the final spin cycle which has never been out of balanced. First impression of the machine boasts simplicity and easy to operate for beginners. The machiness instructions for cycles around the knob is the right size to see. The washer was reasonably priced. Fact is it fit our budget and the quality of the washer was amazing. Plus the warranty attached to the washer cost was minimal and covered repairs if needed.

I bought a Kenmore Elite refrigerator in 2015. By 2018, it was no longer cooling properly. The product was still under warranty, so I called Sears to schedule a repair. The earliest they could send a technician out was 8 weeks. It was summer, and I have 3 little kids to feed, so after a week of living out of a spare mini fridge in my garage, I called several other repairmen. No one would touch it. They all said that Kenmore is really made by LG and they are known to have major issues. One tech said he doesnt work on LGs because its not worth my time - it will break again and I will have to be out here every few months. Sure enough, when Sears finally did get to fix it (replaced the compressor) it broke down the following year. A different tech boosted the Freon in the line and said these refrigerators are known to have leaks in the line. As I write this, my fridge is not working again and I am dreading my call to Sears - their customer service is terrible. My 5 year old refrigerator is worthless. Long story short: I used to trust Kenmore products. Never again. Do not buy!

I had it some time ago, but I dont think I had any major problems with it. I replaced it just to upgrade my kitchen. At that time I think the fridge was still working fine. But we really needed a bigger one and decided to get a side-by-side with a bigger freezer. That was about four years ago. We had to sell the house due to a family situation. We moved into a house owned by my mother which already had an adequate refrigerator which is not a Kenmore. But if we do need another one, I will definitely look into getting another Kenmore. I believe they are well-built, they seem to not to require much repairs and they definitely last a long time.

I bought a Kenmore Elite Oasis HE automatic washer model number 110.2706760
I bought a Kenmore Elite Oasis HE automatic washer model number 110.27067601 serial number CT0570011 in late 2008 (along with the dryer). I also bought a one year extended warranty for it. Shortly after, the machine had the F1 error code and could not function. I called, a technician came out and replaced the control board. A couple years later, I had the same problem. The machine gets the F1 code while filling. I had to press the stop and start button at least four times to get the machine running again. Then 20 minutes before the cycle is over, it has another F1 error code. This time I have to press stop and start four more times. Being a busy physician I did not contact Sears and just tolerated the inconvenience for several years.I called and schedule a service call on March 20th, 2015. The technician, ** came to my house on March 25, 2015 along with another technician **. They did some diagnostic with their computer and told me I need a new control board. I asked ** what is the warranty for this new control board. He told me its only 90 days. I told him it is a bad product. He proceeded to argue with me he had nothing to do with it. Its the manufacturer of the board. I told him when I bought a machine I dont know whats inside. Anyway, an argument ensued. ** walked out and refused to service my machine. I was told the control board itself costs $180, with labor the total cost would have been $280. The board clearly is defective and theres no solution other than frequent costly replacement.If you take into consideration the cost of $300 with 90 days warranty. Essentially if the breaks down every 90 days, I would be wasting $300 every 90 days. The cost of owning this machine is prohibitive. In summary this machine is a lemon and its criminal for your company to put your name on it as your store brand and sell it for a high price. I would like to request one of the following solutions: 1) Refund for the cost of the machine, $800. 2) If refund is not possible, I request you provide to me another washing machine of my choice of similar value free of charge. 3) If both solutions 1 or 2 are not possible, I request for the next 15 years, that you provide free service and parts every time I get the F1 code. I feel extremely angry and deceived. As you can tell many other customers feel the same way as I have found on the internet. I am livid and would take the issue up with appropriate overseeing agencies to warn others of your callous practice of selling expensive appliances that dont work.

Still didnt work after parts were installed. I was told by Sears if I purchased an extended warranty they would replace it. During this time there was a recall on our Kenmore elite washing machine. Repairman came and replaced recalled part. Washer doesnt clean as well since part has been replaced. Now 3 days before Thanksgiving the Kenmore Elite Refrigerator has just quit cooling. Everything in freezer and refrigerator ruined. Cannot get a repairman until the day after Thanksgiving.

It looks great, regulates template properly, easy to clean. There is not a lot of frost build up so the freezer holds food great. I have had mine for 6 years and would recommend it to anyone. Easy to move if needed.

I would certainly recommended this product to friends and family. I bought both a washer and dryer combo a year and a half ago and no problem with either. I had a Kenmore washer before and no Kenmore is a excellent brand name to buy.

The performance of this dishwasher is far beyond my wildest dreams. Excelle
The performance of this dishwasher is far beyond my wildest dreams. Excellent cycles and great washing abilities. It is whisper quiet and always shows the finest in quality and performance. This dishwasher holds a large amount of pots and pans and far exceeds what you realize you can get inside and get a great wash and rinse. Dishes are very clean and always can be trusted that no germs are ever left behind. This dishwasher is beautiful to look at and you are so proud when people come into your kitchen area. It is always very quiet and allows all conversations to be heard. The value of this dishwasher is far above what I ever expected. The value is pure quality and the service I get from it is outstanding.

Runs smoothly, not super loud, always cleans everything. The dishwasher has been running great. I never have had any issues with the dishwasher. The size fits my area in the kitchen great. I love that the size is not too big but yet it fits really well. I have enjoyed the washer machine. The metal has fit well together with my whole kitchen. I would like the buttons on the front though. That is the only problem I have had. The washer seemed a little expensive for my budget and thought it works well but yet the price definitely works for how they uses. I just think for the middle class it might be much.

This dishwasher is very thorough and cleans so quietly I cant even hear it in the other room! A quick rinse is all I need before my Kenmore takes care of all the rest. Energy efficient and leaves my dishes sparkling clean! At 24 my dishwasher is compact enough that it leaves plenty of space for cupboards beneath the counter! Bowls, large plates, dishes and even space for all sorts of other sizes and even challenging sizes to boot! My Kenmore has a sleek and basic design that looks casual and classic without all of those buttons or knows. Plus, its easy to clean and comes in different styles; I like the simplicity of my white design! For overall value and the best price range for your budget, you truly do get the best bang for your buck with your new Kenmore washer.

I purchased a Kenmore Refrigerator May 2016, 2 months out of warranty and the ice maker doesnt work. Its outrageous to me that a $675 refrigerator has a broken part after only 14 months that will take hundreds of dollars to evaluate and repair. Kenmore appliances are not made to last. I will never purchase another Kenmore appliance again!

I was extremely satisfied with this product. It was stylish, and it even made ice! Im so glad I bought a Kenmore refrigerator, and you should too. Shout it from the rooftops! This refrigerator really fit all of my needed items. Even the ham I bought last week! It wasnt too bulky and still was large enough to get the job done. Thanks Kenmore! I love how this appliance looks because not only is it shiny, but its also silver, which is my favorite color in the world. Everything I have in my house is silver! It was somewhat pricey. I had to sell my car and three children to buy it. Nevertheless, it was worth the buy because who doesnt love refrigerators!

We switched from a front loader to top load, because we continued to have odors coming from our front load washer that we could not get rid of. We chose the top load with agitator, since we wanted to get back to the type of washing machine we have previously had, and liked. The water level on this machine is very low, even when choosing the high fill option, thus the agitator is nearly worthless, and the clothes do not get clean. To top it all off, we still have a musty odor coming from our washer, even when we leave the top door open. We are not at all happy with our purchase of the Kenmore 600S, 20372 washing machine.

After replacing my Kenmore Elite slide in oven/stove because it was a lemon
After replacing my Kenmore Elite slide in oven/stove because it was a lemon with too many issues to enumerate, I foolishly choose the next generation thinking it was improved. This stove cannot maintain a temperature for more than 10 minutes before it begins a preheat function and it begins to try to come to temp by firing up the top and/or bottom heating elements effectively ruining any delicate baked goods like cookies or cakes. I will never ever buy a Kenmore product again. In addition even though they market a five element stove top, if you have 2 elements on high and the oven on, the entire unit blows the breakers and fuses (and it is not our wiring/breakers that are malfunctioning). Worst product ever!

We bought a power miser 12 year warranty water heater in October 2006. In July 2012 it started leaking from the top. We called a sears tech to come look at it. We paid him $89 to tell us we needed a new tank. He said they could install a new one for free since it was under warranty, but it would be 3 weeks until they could get a new one in. Not wanting a flood in my home, my husband called a sears store 135 miles away that had one in stock. He drove the 4 hour round trip so we could have it installed the next day. Now 4 years later in Oct 2016 the new one is leaking from the bottom. Thank god we have a pan it sits in or wed have water on our floor! Since its under warranty we called Sears. They said they can have someone come out in 4 days to look at it and if we need a new tank, it will be the end of Oct before a new one can be put in. The 12 year warranty is a joke. It starts when you buy the first water heater and keeps carrying over to the next, etc. Since we bought our first one in 2006, we only have 2 years left in warranty until 2018 even though this would be our 3rd tank! We are taking this piece of crap out and spending the money to have a Rheem installed. I will never buy another Sears product as long as I live!

I bought a 3-door Kenmore (made by LG) top-of-the-line 31 cubic foot and have the same problem 3 times! They replaced the mother board 3 times and the heater for the defroster. I get an funky error message on the LED display, the water no longer works, the deli bin freezes over and the refrigerator only cools to about 45 or 50 degrees. Im looking for a Samsung now. Sears Outlet is loaded with the exact same refrigerators.

Bought an apartment washer and dryer and ever since day one it did not perform well. Timer went out, a main washer engine part went bad and had to be replaced. Very poor service provided by Sears. Every six months the washer or dryer would have issues. Cost more to repair in the years than buying a new one.

We never expected to wash dirty dishes as we always pre-rinsed them but the dishwasher worked well and was relatively quiet and never broke down. The dishwasher held all our dishes and we never ran it everyday but rather about once a week for two of us. The dishwasher can hold a large load if it is filled properly and does a nice job on the dishes. We never put dishes that had food on them in the dishwasher and never expected it to clean food that was caked on. Our dishwasher was white and looked sleek and fit perfectly with the rest of the white appliances in the kitchen. Clean and smart is how I would describe it. Based upon our experience with the dishwasher, we received good value from it and the way it performed. It was not the most expensive model we could have bought but it was a model that we felt gave us more bang for our buck.

It cools quickly and is easy to clean. The door shelves have plenty of room. I like the milk shelf. I like the two crispers with adjustable humidity. It is a good size for us. The milk indentation on the door is good and allows the milk to stay put. The shelf height is good for our needs. I like the color. It is black and looks good in the kitchen. It doesnt show dirt or smudges on the door. It fits nicely into our kitchen. It was a good value for the money. Weve had it about six months and have not had any problems. I would highly recommend it for an average sized family who needs a basic roomy refrigerator.

Large freezer, able to fit several weeks of food, helpful for large families. Indoor ice maker and water, extremely nice feature. City water was filtered without an extra system being installed. And no extra freezer space taken up by trays. Large deep freezer drawers for extra storage. Adjustable containers in door made it easier for more storage in the main fridge. Allowing for bulky items such as milk or pitchers to be stored in the doors. Cleaning was simple, with parts all being removable. Parts dismantled and reassembled easily. Large and bulky making delivery difficult. However, replacement parts were expensive. Also, no color choices other than white were available.

I was impressed with how clean my clothes were with my new washer. My old one, sometimes the detergent wouldnt release so my clothes would still be dirty when I took them out. It can fit pretty large loads even a lot of towels. I also wash my comforter in there when Im too lazy to go to the cleaners. And Im usually pretty happy with how it comes out. When I bought it I was satisfied with the appearance but then shortly after they made more washers with a side opening door and I started to realize that that would make things a lot easier and thats what I will get for my next one.

Kenmore Dishwasher is a great size. I have a family of five and I always have enough room. I put the pots and plates on the bottom, and the cups and bowls on the top. I dont even have to rinse dishes off before putting in. They come out sparkling every time and it makes doing dishes so much easier. I love the appearance. It is stainless steel just like all the other appliances in my kitchen. And, the price is so worth every penny! You could get a cheaper dishwasher but that is exactly what it will be. Along with cheaper price you will get poor quality and problems. I would definitely recommend this dishwasher to everyone.

It always keeps everything perfectly cold in the fridge and perfectly frozen in the freezer and leaves little to no freezer burn even on things that are in for a long time. It Generally can always fit everything that I need but I guess a little more space would be nice for when I have holiday dinners and need to prepare many food items a day or two early. It kind of gets full when I need to do that. Other than that its size is great. And Its a breeze to clean. Also it flows nicely with almost any decor and I just really love the way the stainless steel looks in my kitchen. Yes these refrigerators are more expensive than your regular run of the mill refrigerator but like they say you get what you pay for. Trust me its definitely worth the extra bucks and energy saving appliances are always a plus and the side by side doors are just perfect.

Yesterday morning while my daughter was sitting in her living room the house started to fill with smoke. She went into the kitchen and found smoke billowing out of her electric oven which was not turned on. She got her husband up and he quickly got the stove disconnected and pulled it outside. Later that day they called Sears to send a technician to check out the stove. The technician wrote in his report that the cause of the fire was food that was in the oven. The food was leftover pizza and french fries from the night before. The stove was shut off and not in use, but it heated up by itself. I believe the cause was an electrical short (defect) that caused the oven to heat up and catch fire. The stove was purchased 4/24/2012 and I bought a 5-year warranty on it. Because of what the technician told them, Sears will not honor their warranty.

We purchased a new refrigerator from Sears not quite 4 yrs ago and weve had three service calls, today will be our FOURTH. It has gone from not freezing to freezing too much in the freezer, to not cooling in the fridge part. It is my belief that when a customer has that many problems with an appliance it should be considered a big lemon and should be replaced. I am 65 yrs old and never in my wildest dreams have I ever encountered so many problems. It has been a BIG headache from day one. I would not recommend Kenmore or Sears to anyone.

Washer machine is a great value for its price. Would definitely purchase again. With 3.5 Cu Feet it is more than enough room to properly wash a decent sized load of clothes. Have owned since February 2016, without any problems associated with the machines. We usually wash on average 3 to 4 loads per week in our household with no issues. The appearance is relatively plain thus my simple rating of satisfied, but for the price I was more looking for productivity as opposed to cosmetics. The value for the washer and dryer combination to me is what really sold me as opposed to higher end more expensive models. For about $600 less I feel as though I got the same type of product that does the same work.

It dry fast and does not consume a lot of energy, is a little bit big so I guess if they designed smaller would work perfectly in my lifestyle. I have no problem so far, did not have to spend to fix it yet, which I believe accomplish the product promise. Its not about if is cute or not, but I prefer smaller design. And if I can get it in black color would match better the house decoration. It was not expensive and had save me a lot of money in the last year, thats why I am considering get the watching machine as well, hopefully works as well as the dryer.
