CODE: 1-1 or F1E1
PROBLEM: Stuck relay on the electronic control board
FIX: Shut off power to the dishwasher for 5 minutes. If the code resumes when you restore power, check the wiring connected to the control board for damage and repair any broken wires.
CODE: 1-2 or F1E2
PROBLEM: Damaged or corrupted memory on control board. Incompatible software components inside microprocessor.,
FIX: Shut off power to the dishwasher for 5 minutes. If the code resumes when you restore power, replace the electronic control board.
CODE: 2-1 or F2E1
PROBLEM: Stuck button on the user interface control
FIX: Check all buttons on the user interface control for a response. If one or more of the buttons don't work, unplug the dishwasher to disconnect electrical power and disconnect the user interface control wire harness. Reassemble the door with the user interface wire harness disconnected, but don't close the door.
CODE: 2-2 or F2E2
PROBLEM: User interface control can't communicate with electronic control board
FIX: Shut off power to the dishwasher. Check the wiring between the user interface control and the electronic control board. If the wires and connections are okay, replace the user interface control board. If the problem persists, replace the electronic control board.
CODE: 3-1 or F3E1
PROBLEM: Thermistor/OWI sensor failure (The thermistor is the water temperature sensor, the OWI sensor is the Optical Water Indicator that detects the amount of debris in the water.)
FIX: Unplug the dishwasher to disconnect electrical power and then check the wiring between the electronic control board and the thermistor/OWI sensor. Repair or replace the wire harness if broken. If you find the wiring undamaged, replace the thermistor/OWI sensor.
CODE: 3-2 or F3E2
PROBLEM: Shorted thermistor/OWI sensor
FIX: Unplug the dishwasher to disconnect electrical power and then check the wiring between the electronic control board and the thermistor/OWI sensor. Repair or replace the wire harness if broken. If you find the wiring undamaged, replace the thermistor/OWI sensor.
CODE: 3-3 or F3E3
PROBLEM: OWI failed to calibrate or the drain hose check valve failed, allowing dirty water to backflow into the dishwasher
FIX: Disconnect the dishwasher drain hose connection from the air gap or the garbage disposal if you have no air gap. Pour water through the drain hose to see if water backs up into the dishwasher tub. If so, replace the portion of the drain hose that connects to the drain pump because the check valve in that hose failed.
CODE: 4-1 or F4E1
PROBLEM: Communication error between the electronic control board and the circulation pump motor
FIX: Unplug the dishwasher to disconnect electrical power. Check the circulation pump wire harness and reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. If the wiring connections are okay, replace the circulation pump and motor assembly. If the problem continues, replace the electronic control board.
CODE: 4-2 or F4E2
PROBLEM: Communication error between the electronic control board and the circulation pump motor
FIX: Unplug the dishwasher to disconnect electrical power. Check the circulation pump wire harness and reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. If the wiring connections are okay, replace the circulation pump and motor assembly. If the problem continues, replace the electronic control board.
CODE: 5-1 or F5E1
PROBLEM: Door switch failure
FIX: This code appears if you don't close the door within 4 seconds of pressing the Start/Resume button, or if the door latch assembly is broken. When starting a cycle, close the door within 4 seconds after pressing Start/Resume. If you can't start the cycle and the code continues, then the door switch could be defective. Unplug the dishwasher to disconnect electrical power.
CODE: 5-2 or F5E2
PROBLEM: Control detects door not opening
FIX: The electronic control board expects to see the door open between cycles or the dishwasher won't start the next time you try to start a new cycle. If you didn't open the door between cycles, cancel the cycle. Open and shut the door, and then start a new cycle. If the cycle still won't start, then the door switch could be defective.
CODE: 6-1 or F6E1
PROBLEM: Won't fill
FIX: Check for an item stuck under the overfill float and remove it. If the overfill float sticks in the "up" position the dishwasher won't fill. Unplug the dishwasher to disconnect electrical power and shut the water supply valve. Disconnect the water supply line from the water inlet valve and check the water inlet valve screen for clogs.
CODE: 6-2 or F6E2
PROBLEM: Water inlet valve failure
FIX: Unplug the dishwasher to disconnect electrical power. Remove the bottom front access panel and toe panel. Check the wire harness connections on the water inlet valve. Reconnect any loose wires. Replace the wire harness if damaged. If the wire harness connections are okay, check the resistance of the water inlet valve using a multimeter.
CODE: 6-3 or F6E3
PROBLEM: Suds or air are in the water pump
FIX: Check for sudsy water. If you see excessive suds, try to drain the dishwasher by cancelling the cycle. The drain pump will run for 3 minutes. If the drain pump can't drain the sudsy water, drain the water by hand or use a wet/dry shop vacuum to remove the water. Check the detergent dispenser and replace if it's damaged. Use only dishwasher detergent in the dishwasher. Using regular dish soap in the dishwasher causes excessive suds.
CODE: 6-4 or F6E4
PROBLEM: The float switch is open
FIX: Check the overfill float switch to see if it's stuck or if an item is stuck under it. Check if the inlet water fill valve is properly shutting off the water supply when the dishwasher is off.
CODE: 6-6 or F6E6
PROBLEM: Incoming water is too cold
FIX: Use an accurate thermometer to check the water temperature. If it's lower than 110 degrees F, check your water heater. If the water temperature is normal (110 to 120 degrees F), replace the thermistor/OWI or the electronic control board. Refer to the tech sheet for your dishwasher for a diagnostic test for the thermistor.
CODE: 6-7 or F6E7
PROBLEM: Disconnected or damaged flow meter
FIX: Shut off power to the dishwasher. Check the wiring to the flow meter. If the wiring is intact, replace the flow meter.
CODE: 6-8 or F6E8
PROBLEM: Problem with water softener regeneration valve (Water Softener Models Only)
FIX: Shut off power to the dishwasher. Check the wiring to the water softener regeneration valve. If the wiring is intact, replace the water softener regeneration valve. If the problem persists, replace the electronic control board.
CODE: 7-1 or F7E1
PROBLEM: Heating element doesn't work
FIX: Shut off power to the dishwasher. Inspect the heating element and replace it if it's visibly damaged. If not, check the wiring to the heating element. If the wiring is intact, replace the heating element.
CODE: 7-2 or F7E2
PROBLEM: Heating element won't shut off
FIX: Shut off power to the dishwasher for 5 minutes. If the code resumes when you restore power, replace the electronic control board.
CODE: 8-1 or F8E1
PROBLEM: Slow drain
FIX: Shut off power to the dishwasher and then shut off water. Check the drain path for an obstruction. If the drain path is clear, check the wiring on the drain pump. If the wiring is intact, replace the drain pump.
CODE: 8-2 or F8E2
PROBLEM: Drain pump electrical problem
FIX: Shut off power to the dishwasher and then shut off water. Check the wiring on the drain pump. If the wiring is intact, replace the drain pump.
CODE: 9-1 or F9E1
PROBLEM: Electronic control board can't detect the position of the diverter disc
FIX: The diverter motor positions the disc that directs the water through the lower spray arm or the upper spray arm. The diverter motor also monitors the position of the diverter disc and sends position signals to the electronic control board. Unplug the dishwasher to disconnect power and check the wiring going to the diverter motor.
CODE: 9-2 or F9E2
PROBLEM: Diverter motor is stuck on
FIX: The diverter relay on the electronic control board is defective. Unplug the dishwasher to disconnect electrical power and replace the electronic control board.
CODE: 10-1 or FAE1
PROBLEM: Detergent dispenser failure
FIX: Unplug the dishwasher to disconnect electrical power. Remove the outer door panel and check the wiring connections between the electronic control board and the detergent dispenser.

CODE: 10-2 or FAE2
PROBLEM: Vent wax motor electrical problem
FIX: Shut off power to the dishwasher. Check the wiring in the vent wax motor circuit. If the wiring is intact, replace the vent wax motor.
CODE: 10-3 or FAE3

Kenmore Dishwasher common faults
This was a relatively efficient appliance! Aside from the noise, it did the job well. Would recommend for families on a budget! (P.s. Be sure not to overload the dishwasher, it will leave stains and grime behind!) I could fit quite a bit, but if I filled it all the way up to its potential some dishes would come out with stains that didnt get cleaned. It wasnt the most aesthetic but what dishwasher is? As far as I am concerned, the efficiency of the appliance is what is important, and in this category, this dishwasher wins! I bought it secondhand, so I am unsure of the original asking price. However, for what I paid for the item, its efficiency and endurance was worth it all!
This dishwasher worked very well and was well worth the money spent. Cleaned and dried the dishes with reasonable cleanliness. Didnt need to clear dishes prior to loading the dishwasher. I would recommend this dishwasher. Fit all of my dishes that were used in 3-4 days with no overlapping. Silverware on door so more dishes could go in the dishwasher itself. Highly recommended. Clean, sleek, reliable, fast cycles, and quiet too. I like the way it looks. Also fits in with the rest of the other kitchen appliances I had at the time. Worth every penny, more bang for the buck with this winner of a dishwasher, i must say. very affordable, could put this on before bedtime and not hear it while sleeping.
It is a good dishwasher but Im not too crazy about it. It does not wash the dishes perfectly. Even if you pre-wash the dishes, do not see any crazy results. Its size is ok, fits perfectly and for the family of 4 it is just enough space in it. Im not too crazy about the appearance. Nothing special just white. A little old looking not too modern design. But still good enough. The value of the dishwasher is very good. It does not cost a fortune. I would say a good value for what it does. In some stores is really cheap.
The performance of the dishwasher was fast and efficient. I could clean large items with ease and the dry process was quick. Also there was no spots on the dishes either. I have some large pots and pans and those were nice to fit. All my other items that went into the dishwasher fit perfectly. The dishwasher is the perfect size and even if it was bigger, that would be great. I love the look of it. At first, I always thought that stainless steel was not my thing, but after getting this dishwasher, I found it to be nice. Although, if the fingerprints did not show up as easy as they do, that would be a plus. The value of the Kenmore dishwasher is nice and valuable. I always have thought that Kenmore was a good brand. I bought it at Sears which is a name that I can trust and that is why I find Kenmore items to last longer and are very tough.
It saves me time and money and is great for all families especially big families. I love the fact that I can make anything and at the end of the day, I dont have to clean dishes. The size is almost perfect. My family size is big so I love the fact that I can put many dishes into my dishwasher. I can cook lots of things because my dishwasher can handle lots of dishes. It is amazing! The appearance isnt really a big deal to me just as long as it gets the job done. I love the fact that my dishwasher is silver so it blends in with anything. My dishwasher value is perfect. I love its incredible cleaning skills. I love the color. I love the size. Id totally go recommend it to anyone. Its great.
It was capable of holding all of my dishes, including all of my utensils. It was able to clean everything quite well, and it worked very quietly. It was easy to load, and unload. Nothing complicated. Near the end of its run, it began to have a hard time cleaning all of the dishes. It also did not always clean EVERY dish, and had trouble reaching all of the utensils, sometimes. Kenmore has met my expectations. I chose it because it was easily recognizable and relatively cheap. It also worked very well. Overall, I was quite happy with the product.
Quick, fast, quiet, does the job, looks nice and work great. I love my dishwasher. I cant wait to update all my appliances if this is a good long lasting brand. Perfect size, doesnt take up much space but can hold a good amount of dishes, perfect space for everything, too nice, inner and outer appearance. Nice, sleek, clean looking dishwasher, fits in nicely with other appliances and pulls my whole kitchen together, it gives it that nice sleek look. A very good value for money, they are long lasting and even after years of use are minor issues that cheap, fast, simple, easy fixes so they never really lose their value.
This dishwasher is good; however, the dishes need to be pre-washed because they dont come clean if they have a lot of food still on them. It fits some of my dirty dishes but for a regular size family that eats meals at a home, the dishwasher needs to be a little larger. It is plain white which blends in with everything well and has a nice look and feel to the buttons, though I wish it looked a little more professional. Its mid-level and needs to be a little bit less; however, for the cost, it is a decent dishwasher that does get the dishes clean and does its job.
The dishwasher was capable of cleaning the toughest of dirty dishes. It was not an energy hog nor does it make a lot of noise. Fortunately for me this dishwasher was already in the house when I purchased it. I am looking forward to upgrading eventually but I havent come close to needing to replace it yet! The size was very good. It was small enough under the cabinet while not taking up too much. The interior was spacious enough for all of my needs. Pots, pans, mugs and pitchers all seemed to fit with ease. The appearance is nice enough; nothing to really make you go wild. It does need a regular wiping down because it seems to be a bit of a dirt magnet. It was obviously worth every penny considering I was fortunate enough to have it already included with the house! I am not sure how much it cost when purchased but, looking at the various models to upgrade, it seems like it would be a decent value.
It is a very durable dishwasher. I had the dishwasher for about 7 years and it has no problems. I am very happy with the product and would recommend to others. It is not large at all. It is a small fit and does not take up a lot of room. I think it is very good fit in my kitchen and would be able to fit any kitchen easily. It looks very chic and sophisticated. I like the white color because it stands out and lightens up the kitchen. Black would be very dark and not recommended. This was a great value. For the durability and performance of the dishwasher this was a great buy. Kenmore normally has outstanding products and this is no exception.
Had serviceman and plumber look at dishwasher. Keeps water in bottom after it has finished cycling. I no longer use it. I wash dishes by hand. No answer on what the problem is. I thought the idea of having a steam cycle was good. This would work for someone who has an autoimmune disease and would help with germs. Everything is hidden in the top of dishwasher so nothing shows on outside. I like the look. I would tell others about the look and how much I like it to others. I had the choice of a Bosch and a Sears dishwasher. The prices were similar. I have always thought Sears stood by their products so I went with it instead of Bosch. I am left to wonder.
Unbelievable. I just received my stainless steel refrigerator. 2 days later, I cleaned it using their cleaner, and now RUST SPOTS EVERYWHERE! Are you kidding me? I saw the reviews online from 4 years ago - why was this problem not addressed? Very disappointed, especially for the price. Also, my dishwasher is doing the exact same thing. Previously, I had GE Profile - NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. To top it all, Sears is stating that I should have called within 72 hours - seriously? Very poor on their part. Im getting a replacement, but very leery.
It works well. I like it and it looks great in my kitchen. My dishes always come out very nice and clean and is quite quiet. I was worried that it wouldnt fit in the very space I had wanted it to go but it did fit there and looks great. Im very happy with it. It fits in with my whole kitchen theme as I have the black theme going with all my appliances so this was exactly what I wanted and I was able to find it with this product. The price for this is great as it works so very well.
Its nice to look at, doesnt make a lot of noise and does the job well. It washes the dishes so you dont have to, making life much easier. I have kids so anytime I can make well used is worth it for sure. I can fit everything I use in there. Cup, plates, spoons, forks, knives, bowls and cups and coffee cups and wash them with water and soap. Its easy, put them in dirty, and come out clean. I love my dishwasher. I use it everyday. Its a nice looking dishwasher. It goes with my kitchen. Its not in the way. It helps me save time and money. Its a space saver and does what it does well while looking beautiful. Its a great value for anybody who can afford one.
Our Kenmore Dishwasher occasionally has problems but its worth its value. I wouldnt want any other brand. It is effective at what it does and it is built to last. It can clean my dishes relatively quick and I am very satisfied with my purchase. I hope this one lasts a while. It is a great product since Kenmore makes good products. I have only had Kenmore for the past 5 years after switching brands and Ive seen a drastic improvement in quality and efficiency. Its a normal size for a dishwasher and it gets the job done. I can always do multiple loads if necessary. Its a very good looking dishwasher and it hardly gets dirty, and if it does, its easy to clean. It blends perfectly with my kitchen cabinets and other appliances. Its just like any other washer, yet cheaper and better. I didnt overpay for this washer. I think its one of the better ones and I would gladly pay this price again, because it is so durable.
Its a workhorse that can work well. It has lasted for years and works quickly and efficiently. I have peace of mind knowing that my dishes will be satisfactorily clean. They come out sparkling with absolutely no residue. So impressed with the performance. Highly recommend to anyone. The dishwasher is unbelievably roomy. It can fit the dishes and utensils of a 5 person household easily. It can also fit a few small pans and a large pan. I recommend putting all pots and pans in one load and all cups and bowls in another. It is not the prettiest dishwasher in the world but it is nice and neat and simple in appearance. Its easy to keep clean on the outside and inside. It is a homely looking appliance but it is good and unpretentious. It is a terrific value. For a fair and decent price you will never have to worry about washing and scrubbing and toiling after cooking ever again. It is a wonderful feeling.
I have found this to be a very dependable dishwasher that I can count on to leave my dishes clean. It runs long enough to do a good job but not too long so as to be wasteful. I do worry about efficiency as I have had some dishwashers in the past that run for over an hour, which is too long. Its an average size and good for a couple or small family. It holds 6-8 plates and there is plenty of room for glasses and silverware. Its a standard looking dishwasher, nothing special, but it blends into my kitchen very well and isnt noticeable. Its mainly silver with black trim and would work in most kitchens. It runs efficiently and uses a moderate amount of water so I feel it is a good choice. The price was fair for the performance. I feel it is a good value.
Not powerful at cleaning. It would generally leave food residue on plates and glass ware. Only lasted two years before it needed to be replaced. The dishwasher size was pretty good. It had enough rack space and the silverware area was respectable to hold all the necessary items. I think little bit more of an adjustment wouldve been an order so that you could get longer or should say taller items in the dishwasher. The parents of the dishwasher fit nicely into my kitchen, match the rest of my appliances and I thought that it function appropriately with the Decor. I thought the price was a little high for the quality. After I was using it for a while I figured that the price I was paying for it and from what I was told by the salesman that would be a good dishwasher but unfortunately it turned out not to be that way for the price.
It performed well. Got the dishes nice and clean. Compact but packs enough punch to get the job done. Add rinse solution to help get rid of spots. It is smaller but works well. Big enough for a small family, but if you have a lot of people living in the house you may need something a bit bigger. It is big enough to hold large dishes, smaller pots and pans. Appearance you would probably expect from a new appliance. It is white and therefore shows dirt but is easy to clean and actually doesnt get dirty often. The price was very affordable even for a smaller dishwasher if you shop at the right place. It is a more of a basic model but has enough punch for the price.
Quiet- cleans very well- has many options which one may or may not use- would buy again- I believe in Kenmore products though they are made by Whirlpool and may or may not have LG parts- This dishwasher is very dependable, very quiet and thorough in the cleaning of dishes placed inside.
Kenmore Elite Dishwasher -- The dishwasher functions beautifully when it is working. Although, the electric strip pad that controls it has malfunctioned FOUR times where it needs replacement. It malfunctions without warning always in a variety of ways, e.g. Not acknowledging any commands, beeping every 10 seconds, frozen on a single command button, etc.
We find it absolutely amazing that our Kenmore Ultra Wash is still the ORIGINAL one we purchased when we bought our house, which was in 1995. It still works fine, 25 YEARS LATER..!! I also don’t even think we EVER had to call a repairman for it. I asked my wife and she also never recalls having it repaired for any reason. Lucky..?? Guess so as I believe the average lifespan for a dishwasher is 10 years..?? I could be wrong. Anyway, it works just fine and dishes still are coming out clean and glasses have no spots. I should be in a commercial with this baby..!!
This dishwasher looks ok but I wish I could get it in different colors though. A red or a black one would look better than white and fit my style. Maybe even pink. Size is important to me because I dont need it to take up a lot of room in my kitchen. This dishwashers not too big so it doesnt take up very much room but is big enough to meet me and my familys needs. Also, it doesnt leave any food or water residue on dishes. It is inexpensive to buy and run. Is great for a larger family and runs quietly. The overall value is great. It saves me slot of time and money. Also saves space in my kitchen so I can move around appropriately.
Great dishwasher for everyday use. It gets the job done all the time. Never any problems with it. Does all I can ask for the price I paid for it. Good size. The size I need for it to fit all my dishes and plus more if I ever needed. I would say its the size I would recommend. Maybe other sizes I would buy as well. Has great appearance, looks great in my kitchen, would recommend in any color. Easy to clean and looks great. A brand I would buy again. Looks great all the time. Has great value for the price and gets the job done, better than others for the same price. I would buy this one for the value. Check see if its the one for you.
I absolutely loved the dishwasher and it was amazing. I shopped around at Lowes for a really long time looking for a great dishwasher to place into my apartment and found Kenmore Dishwashers. I really liked the way it looked. The washer itself wasnt very heavy and I installed the whole thing myself. It was installed the same day and worked great. The built-in detergent tray was big enough to fit a lot of powder. However, I would improve the interface on the front of the washer. It doesnt seem very user-friendly. The metallic gray also didnt look too great in my apartment. But overall, very amazing indeed!
When I decided to buy this Kenmore dishwasher, it was because at the time this particular brand and model were for sale and I needed to replace the previous one I had since it stopped working. I liked the size and features. The smartwash really saved me money from the previous model. It gets my dishes clean and dry. However, I would like it to have a sleeker look and the design could be a lot better. It doesnt always get my glasses as shiny as I would like. But its a decent, good appliance.
Simple function, cleaned dishes really well, easy to use, energy-efficient and fast drying time, easy to load, very little leaking, easy for children to load and unload. It was big enough to hold and clean my familys everyday dish use. It sometimes had to separate the really dirty pots and pans from the dinnerware. It blended well into the rest of the kitchen. Easy wipe down. Really up to date looking but not standing out. Easy to match with my existing appliances. I thought it was a little pricey but the price was worth the quality of the machine. Very little maintenance cost and upkeep. I guess paying for the brand is worth it.
Its fast wash and gets very hot. Dishes are always spotless. Plenty of room for everything. It takes the gel packs which is much easier. Its not too loud at all. I cant complain. Its the perfect size for my household. It doesnt take up too much room. But it fits our daily dishwashing needs. And there are spots for silver, bowls, flat dishes and its not all clanging against each other. Looks modern, suits my kitchen perfectly with my other items in the kitchen. Its easy to keep clean. I spray Windex on it and wipe it down and it shines nicely. I actually get comments on the look. It was a little costly but everything is going up in price. Times are tough but for the machine it was worth it. Other brands were much more expensive for similar sizes. It works great so I cant complain about it and the price was worth it.
We enjoy the electronic touch qualities of the Kenmore Elite and the stainless interior. The upper shelf is made with plastic parts that continue to break and cause it to come off track. Also, we arent sure if it was how the Sears installer installed it initially, but the water house fell off and flooded the kitchen and under the cabinet only 1 year after it was installed. The very expensive repairman says he sees the clamps fail frequently. It came with lots of useless thing-a-ma-jigs, that fall off and are not needed anyway. Touchscreen, stainless interior, streamline placement of controls, easy clean stainless exterior, quiet, sleek look shows smudges. Could be better design of dish placement. Its always nice to have more room. Modern, no knobs to have to clean around. Sears no longer has a team or repair services like the old days. Calls for help were not helpful. Try to upsell you instead of fixing flaws of dishwasher.
We always tend to stick with the Kenmore brand. I am very happy with my Kenmore dishwasher and my whole family is very satisfied. Good quality dishwasher. Clean, convenient, easy to use, brand name, no problems, easy for the whole household to use, multiple dishwashing settings. There is nothing I would change! Kenmore has definitely met our initial expectations!!!
So far my Kenmore built in dishwasher has met my initial expectations. It has multiple different cycle settings and it has auto dry feature that I really like. I only wish it would dry the dishes better.
This Kenmore Elite dishwasher has a nice sleek appearance and does a good job in getting the dishes clean but it has a lot of plastic parts. After 2.5 years of use, the plastic wheels broke, the upper basket plastic parts began to deteriorate and had to be replaced. I felt for the price I paid, I should not have had to repair and replace parts so soon after initial purchase.
I really have no complaints about this machine other than it is kinda loud. Dishes seem to come out clean. Performs as I thought it might. I have a family of three and dishwasher seems to hold everything from plates, bowls, glasses and even skillets. There isnt anything that I have tried to put in that doesnt fit. Appearance fits into my home decor and helps keep my kitchen sleek and clean looking. Nice addition to my kitchen. People have commented on the looks of it. Good priced and a good value compared to my other dishwasher. Gets my dishes cleaner than my old one and would recommend this to family or friends.
This worked well when we first got it. Stopped working not even a year later. The heating element went up in it!!! Wouldnt recommend this brand. This works well for a small family. Holds a lot of dishes and glasses and pots and pans. Will hold glass Pyrex dishes well and larger pots and pans. Our model was white. The buttons lasted well. The dial was a bit outdated. Hard to keep clean. Easy to wipe down. Would have liked a more modern feature other than the dial. For the price we paid for the item, it should have lasted much longer than not even quite a year. I feel that we way overpaid for this item. Wouldnt purchase this brand ever again.
Its a great dishwasher. Overall Im very satisfied with it and I would highly recommend it to anyone that may need to buy one. My dishwasher came pre-installed when I moved into my house so I didnt have the choice of picking one out. But I was still happy overall with the choice the owner went with. My dishwasher seems small to me for my family of 5 people. I wish it was honestly bigger it doesnt seem to hold much. So a lot of times I just wash the dishes by hand if there is a lot of them. The appearance is nice and the buttons on the outside are very easy to use. I thought it would be difficult figuring it out as this is only the 2nd dishwasher Ive ever owned before. I think the value of the dishwasher is well worth the money I guess considering I didnt buy it myself. But I have priced them online and they seem reasonably priced.
The Kenmore dishwasher was a sleek design and dark in color, so it didnt get dirty easily or stick out against the rest of my kitchen. We used it everyday for nearly five years before its performance started to diminish. It usually cleaned well, and as long as it was loaded well, it could handle the usual days amount of dishes. However, its size was meant for a smaller family and I have five people living in my home.
My dishwasher`s performance is satisfactory. So far I had no issues or any troubles with it. It works good and is fully functional as promised in the description. I am pretty happy with the size of the dishwasher. It can fit all of my needed items and still has some space in it. I cant recommend it to everyone. It really depends on your personal needs. I am satisfied with the appearance of the dishwasher. It doesnt look like an exclusive design or anything like that, pretty basic, but it does the job, and that what matters to me at the end of the day. I am happy with the price to value ratio for this machine. I believe it is not overpriced, just the right priced for all the features/job that can be done with it.
This dishwasher is mediocre. It cleans okay. I have never had rewash anything as long as I fill both soap dispensers. The big problem I have is with the door. I have to slam it shut or sooner or later it stops working until I slam it again. Which is a pain when I go to empty the clean dishes and the start button light is flashing on and off!
I needed to find a dishwasher that matched with the rest of my kitchen and this one was perfect. I love the design and the functionality of this dishwasher. Also, I have a large family so the size of a dishwasher is very important to us. We want to have something that can fit all of our dishes in as well as cleans it very well. This dishwasher is the best choice for us and we could not have made a better decision. This dishwasher works very well. Ive had it for a few years and it still works like new. I use this dishwasher at least 2 times a day with my large family and it has never given me any problems. Overall, the value of this dishwasher is it is 100 percent worth everything that it costs. Very pleased. I would recommend this to any one that asks about a good dishwasher for a great price.
My experience with my Kenmore device is that it has provided me with ease for my home. Using the device has brought on lots of great things. One of the best things it can do is that it can clean dishes in less time without all of the necessities.
It is a solid dishwasher that can be used a lot and doesnt break down. It has high capacity and looks like it would last a long time. It cleans really well and is not too loud.
Washes well, easy to use, dishwasher runs very quietly. There are lots of options to choose from which will help with the cycle you need to run based on the dishes you have used and how dirty they are. Silverware holder is in the bottom rack which doesnt allow you to get as many plates are large items, I usually run my dishwasher about every 3-4 days and we are a family of 4. I am not fond of the black plastic at the top with the stainless steel look, I would rather have the entire thing stainless to match the rest of the items in my kitchen and also having the buttons in the front allow little hands to be reaching and touching them, which may cause some of the cycles to mess up. I would say these are great for the value, they last 8-10 yrs depending on the use and how much they are used. My last Kenmore lasted 11 years, the racks started breaking and rusting up.
It always cleaned my dishes well without much re-cleaning items. It was good for sanitizing also and I was happy with the results. I would like a more powerful scrubbing action for my pots and pans. The size was perfect for me, I could add dishes for a few days and wash all at once without wasting detergent or my time. It was perfect for small loads as well that I wanted cleaned quickly. The appearance matched my kitchen and worked overall with my coordinating furniture. The front was easy to keep clean and washed easily with a sponge. The texture was good for not leaving fingerprints. The value of my dishwasher was excellent, it is a good brand that is high quality and I was sure of its lasting a while. The cost was less than the other brands.
I chose this machine because of its reputation. I researched brand, and Kenmore had wonderful reviews. People were happy with most models and long performance. I really like how my Kenmore dishwasher has several cycles to wash the dishes. I can do a quick clean, or the ultimate scrub that lasts 99 minutes. It’s the longest cycle that sanitized the dishes. I like that cycle, but dont always need it. I could use one right below it, about 70 minutes, that still scrubs, but maybe not sanitize.
The Kenmore is a great dishwasher. I like the space inside and the way it cleans. My dishes always come out clean and I can fit a lot in it. However, its a bit awkward in the way all the dishes sit in the bottom. It is easy to bump into and start. I would make it so it is not so easy to bump into and turn on. But other than that, the Kenmore Dishwasher was a good price for a top rated company. We have had Kenmore before and were really happy with how it held up and how long it lasted, with very minimal repairs.
It comes in handy with those hard to clean dishes and easy to use. Most of all its a good value for your money. I would highly recommend this product. The sizes is just right. I was able to install the washer with little to no problems. I would recommend this product to any who is in need of a dishwasher. I love the appearance of the dishwasher. It looks sleek modern and advanced. The build design is a step above the rest. The price of the dishwasher was outstanding. I think I couldnt find a better dishwasher at a better price. The product is worth the price.
For being a mediocre dishwasher the value was good. It came with my apartment so I cant complain and as long as I did regular maintenance, it worked. It washed the dishes but only mediocrely. It would constantly leave spots on the glass and leftover food on my dishes so it needed constant maintenance. Also, it was smaller than I needed. I like to make casseroles but I would have trouble fitting both my casserole dish and regular dishes together. However, I like the sleek design and it fit well with the decor of my kitchen. It had a very modern feel and it was easy to maintain the appearance.
I chose Kenmore Dishwashers because have a good reputation when it comes to their appliances. They deliver and install and I was able to find a good price. The reviews that I read during my research process were mostly positive. Also, I had a Kenmore dishwasher in an old apartment and I was satisfied with it. I like that it has different cycles for specific needs for dishes. The heat dry and the antibacterial option were great for sterilizing baby bottles, etc. I appreciated the non-drip tray for the dish liquid. I did not like how long it took to wash the dishes on the majority of the cycle options. Most of the time I couldnt hear the Done beep that is provided. Id rather it be louder or a music type of tune to be played so I can hear when its ready.
Kenmore has a great reputation, also many friends and family recommended it to me. I grew up having this brand in my household and its not as expensive as some other brands. I dont need fancy colors or anything. Just wanted something reliable, inexpensive and could get the job done. I really like all of the features currently on my new dishwasher. It gets my dishes super clean and it has several settings on it including super heavy for my pots and pans. However, I really wish it was easier to clean. It has a self clean setting but I have to buy special soap for it that only comes in one size.
I really do not enjoy washing dishes by hand and really love having my kenmore 24 dishwasher in my home to assist me with dish washing. The size of my kenmore dishwasher is exactly the perfect size for my familys needs and I am very pleased with it. The dishwasher fits perfectly in the space that I have. The kenmore dishwasher is a nice color and has a classy appearance. Most people that see it think I have paid so much money for this product. The value of my kenmore dishwasher is a good one because I got it on sale at sears and felt like I was lucky to get this product at such a low amount.
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.
I purchased a Kenmore dishwasher in June of 2018. The dishwasher is now leaking. I called customer service and spoke with two people who could barely speak English. There is a 1 year manufacturers warranty on the product but I was told that if the technician that came out determined that the problem was not covered under the warranty I would have to pay a $150 service fee! What kind of warranty is that? I will never purchase an appliance from Kenmore or Sears ever again!!! Horrible experience!
Never had any problems with this dishwasher, it performed like brand new until we moved and had to leave it behind. Its a good looking dishwasher, nothing unattractive about it really. Its all white minus the details, and fit in well with the other appliances except my stainless steel fridge, but thats mine and not purchased to have matched the appliances of the house we were in at the time. Id say it was just big enough to fit most of our dishes, but not so large as to be bulky or an eyesore. It could have been a little bigger, but overall I was satisfied with the size of this machine. Id say it was a great value. It ran smoothly, it looked good, it never had any issues, so for me it was a winner. Our current dishwasher is nowhere near as awesome and constantly has mechanical issues.
I was kind of upset because I didnt know that I bought this product used. There were a lot of things that needed to be fix even though the seller didnt tell me that something was wrong. But after I fixed it, it worked like a charm and loved it ever since. The size of this product squeeze right in the area that I had. Any bigger then I would had to take the product back to the store. But I am very happy with this purchase. I would recommend buying this product. But buying it used of course. The appearance is nice to look at. I like the black color of this dishwasher. Very nice and matte color. It would look good in each and every kitchen. The value was good, I didnt pay much for it. The only problem that I had was like I said I didnt know I was buying it used and it came with a lot of problems so I put more into this product than expected but I am very happy that I bought it because it gets the job done.
My wife and I built a brand new home two years ago and supplied it with all Kenmore or Kenmore elite appliances. As of today the appliances are barely 2 years old and the washing machine has broke, needs a new control panel and drain pump that is going to take a week or more to come in so we have no washer for at least a week. The dishwasher shuts off mid cycle so I have to have somebody come out for that. The tech told me it is probably an issue with the temp of the water so I have to run the hot water at the sink until it gets hot then run the dishwasher. Really? For two years it worked just fine and now that it is malfunctioning that is the solution they give me? The top of our refrigerator freezer door completely cracked and got worse over time until it eventually all fell off into pieces. This happened by simply opening and closing the door. It looks terrible in our brand new $330k home. When I called Kenmore they said that is cosmetic and wont be taken care of. I am beyond disappointed. We spent thousands of dollars and thought that Kenmore was a great brand until this.Update: The control panel Kenmore is sending me for my washer is now delayed by UPS and UPS is now telling me I may not have the part until late next week. Maybe later. So we will possibly go into 2+ weeks without a washing machine. I have called the Kenmore 1-800-4-my-home number several times and I get nowhere. One agent actually told me if the part does not arrive within 21 days then they will explore other options. As if a two year old washing machine breaking and sending us to the laundromat for 3+ weeks is acceptable. Terrible service!!!
My Kenmore dishwasher always delivers a clean load of dishes, pots and pans. I always know it will do a good job. It is one of the best appliances I have ever had. You can load a lot of dishes into my Kenmore dishwasher. It accommodates large pots, pans and dishes. You can position the dishes accordingly to make sure all of your items fit and can be accommodated. My Kenmore dishwasher is very appealing to the eye. I selected one that was white so it would blend in well with the rest of my kitchen. White is a neutral color that can match almost anything. I purchased my Kenmore dishwasher while it was on sale. I saved several hundred dollars on it. I got such a great deal and it has paid for itself several times. I also received free delivery with my purchase.
It works hard at a low cost. Cleans spot free, besides dishes and silverware also to my surprise it cleans pots and pans great. Low energy. Its a dream. Size is perfect for me and when my girls over. A lot of times we have several couples over for cook outs or dinners and it gets loaded even more and it operates the same way. The appearance is fairly simple like we wanted it yet its got that semi plain cool Hi-Tech appeal. We love it and Im sure you will love it too. It has the type of design that will look new for years. It will operate and appear new forever. Thanks Kenmore.
Its a stainless steel KitchenAid Model # KUDSO2FRS54 dishwasher. The buttons are all on a panel that tucks under the cabinet so it looks really modern.
Works as prescribed economical on energy and supports all kinds of dishware to use. Satisfied with its performance and quality. No problems whatsoever so far. Perfect for small family and retirees. Do not used every day but when I have to it always cover its capacity with its size and helpful with larger loads. Normal and good appearance under the kitchen counter and its normal appearance and capacity will use it under all conditions and until it will stop working. Normal value and what is expected from Kenmore brand Sears. Good guarantee and values from this maker. Always with plenty of parts in case you need them.
When I first made the purchase, the value seemed appropriate. However the performance isnt what it used to be, resulting in needing to do more wash cycles to clean the dishes. The size is fairly sufficient although there have been plenty of occasions where I would like the capacity to be bigger. I often have to do more than one load. Your periods is fine for the most part. It would be nice if the color could be changed somehow to accommodate other appliance colors. Happy with the results and the performance has been satisfactory withholding a few occasions when the dishes are not clean enough. Works fairly well.
Performance is high function and relatively easy to perform at its best. Every glass and dishware I have put in comes out sparkly clean. The size of dishwasher is amazing. I can nearly fit whatever dishes I have used at dinner. The most surprising event was in thanksgiving I was able to fit all the plates in this washer and still is effective. I am happy about the appearance of my dishwasher. It looks plain. Nothing extraordinary but the effect it has on my dishes is AMAZING. It looks like silver clear reflection. The dishwasher is on the more expensive side. I am satisfied with the value I bought it for. If the product dishwasher wasnt as effective as it seems I would not bought it for its price.
We have a 5 yr. old Kenmore Dishwasher that slowly leaked from the seal of the motor/pump assembly. We couldnt see any evidence of this until it had been leaking for some time as laid out by the forensic inspector from the insurance company. The dishwasher did about $30,000 in damage that our homeowners insurance wont cover. We have Sears Home Warranty that says it is secondary. We are hoping someone else has had success getting this covered. Our repair person said it is common with this model. How do I find anything in writing that speaks to this from the corporation?
In the 20 years or so we have had this Kenmore; it came with the house we owned. The Kenmore we used maybe a dozen times over 20 years. In those dozen times the Kenmore worked OK I guess but we prefer to wash our dishes when we dirty them and not wait until we have a dishwasher full of dishes. That being said an unused dishwasher is great for storing bulky items like chips in, so other valuable cabinet space can be used for other things.
Is a very practical machine. You only have to do is program the dishwasher and wait 30 min and thats it. Your dish come always clean and dry. The machine fits me very well because I have a smaller space and I like it very much. I think is a good machine for me, because my house require a small space. Its no a luxury dishwasher but its good enough for me, because combines perfectly in my kitchen. The machine its not expensive device. I found it in a good value, and I just feel very happy to bought in a very good price. I will recommended to my friends.
This appliance was easy to install. It doesnt use a lot of water. There is plenty of room to stock up all of my dishes. I think I got a great dishwasher. Thank you. There is room for all or most of my entire collection of plates, bowls, utensils, cups, etc. It does the job every time, in a quick amount of time, every time. This was a good buy. Snazzy design. Simple, compact, easy to use. I purchased the black model. Its modern look, fits well with todays kitchen trend. Whoever created the blueprints for this is a genius! Affordable. You get what you pay for. But with this, I got much more than I bargained for.
This is a very basic looking dishwasher. It is not top of the line stainless steel but it gets the job done. The reason for purchasing this model was the price point. It is a good value and gets the job done. The size of this dishwasher fit nicely in my already small kitchen without taking up too much extra space. It was not too bulky or wide. While the run was rather long, the dishwasher itself worked OK. I did not have to do a lot of prewashing before loading into dishwasher.
Im glad I chose Kenmore Dishwasher and I believe that this particular dishwasher is worth the price I paid for it. Id recommend it to other people. It thoroughly cleans anything I put in the dishwasher. It gets even burnt food off of my pots and pans. I am always satisfied with every load of dishes that I clean in the dishwasher. It is a bit smaller than I would like, but it still gets the job done. I have to wash larger pots one at a time. This is a tad inconvenient, though I suppose it could be much worse. The dishwasher is sleek and it fits right in with the rest of my kitchen. The only thing I dislike about it is that it can get very dirty very quickly, especially if you have little ones running around! But overall, I feel as if it is a great value!
The performance of my dishwasher was fantastic. It washes clean and doesnt leave any residue behind or soap scum. It washes my dishes fast and gets them clean on the first cycle. You never have to worry about washing them twice because they always come out clean. The size of my dishwasher is great and very big. It fits all my dishes as well as pots and pans in one wash. You can stuff it full and it will still clean your dishes really great. Ive never had any problems with my dishwasher. The appearance of my dishwasher is great. Its ball and it always looks clean no matter what. I just love it because it matches everything I have in my kitchen because black pretty much matches everything and I would recommend this to anyone and everyone. The value of my dishwasher is great because I got a lifetime warranty on mine which means if it ever breaks I get to take it back and get it replaced by a new one. You definitely get what you pay for plus so much more.
The dishwasher was the perfect size for me and my kitchen which still works great from the same spot for years. The appearance has always gone with the different designs over the years. I have received many compliments about the dishwasher. It never had to be repaired. Its easy to use and when it breaks down I will buy the same brand because I was so pleased. It was a great replacement and I would definitely recommend it.
It cleaned well if you rinsed dishes before, not the best one Ive had. It could be better. It wasnt awful for the price. It was a decent sized dishwasher it took about a week to fill and it was to fit larger items as well. It was a sleek design. It looks nice and it stays clean. I love the look of it. Its so nice and it fits in my kitchen nice. Very good aesthetics. It was expensive and it sucks sometimes but oh well it works and it is okay but not great value. It could be much better.
Had the appliance (Kenmore Elite) for 6 months when ice maker had to be replaced. Now I have an ER 1F error code. No ice is being made and water is dripping down and freezing in the drawer freezer. I am quite disappointed. It appears the appliances are made so that you must call for repairs on a regular basis. My dishwasher from Sears is another story.
I have a Sears Kenmore. It is an excellent dishwasher.
It was a good dishwasher. Always worked. Used a good, white cheap detergent. It was a good to use. Went by quick. Dishes sparkled to use the jobs to do the dishes. It was a nice white, clean color. Looked very nice. It was a very nice size. Fit perfect. Runs well. Good looking machine. Cant do the right thing. Holds 30 plates 40 cups 100 silverpieces. Perfect location. Good sink. Total detergent, nice glasses. It was around 600 dollars. Nice height and width. Good quality merchandise. It was an easy set up. Worked well to use. Held plenty of dishes and glasses. Did the trick in a timely manner.
Kenmore is a brand I have used before, and I find Kenmore to be a reliable, trustworthy brand compared to some of its competitors. Looking at some of the reviews of this model made it an easy choice to make. Very easy to use. Dishes come out very clean and does an amazing job of drying the items inside, without leaving puddles of water like so many other dishwashers Ive had do. It has high quality and will be durable and last a long time. It has easily surpassed my expectations in every way imaginable.
I have heard many good things about Kenmore and many of my close friends have Kenmores. I have always heard and seen good reviews on that type of dishwasher on TV and in stores. I like how the sprayer never failed and how the cleaner depositor always released. Never had an issue with the cleaner not being applied to the dishes after a full wash. One more things was how the dishes always came out dry and not full of water. My previous washer always left tons of water in the washer and on the dishes. However, I dislike that the handle did not work very well and stuck a lot. You also did not always get a clean load. Left splotchy marks on the glasses. I did not like the way the rack are set up because I couldnt fit many dishes inside the washer when I need to do a full load. Also the silverware holder was very small and not shaped like normal washers. But overall, very delightful and superbly wonderful.
Purchased a Kenmore Elite 14742N513 dishwasher a month ago. Our 22 yr old Kenmore started leaking so we replaced. 3 weeks now from purchase and 3 service visits later plus a part replacement, still no decent wash - soap remained at the bottom of the tub, residue on dishes and it did not even dry the load! What a waste of time! Luckily, we purchased a service warranty from Sears and well be able to ask for a replacement... see how that goes.
I have to say I am more than disappointed with your product. I had all G.E appliances and had so many problems with them, that I changed them all out to Kenmore. Sept 2016, I purchased a dishwasher. Service call to put in was 4 months later (I had some construction going on). It seemed beautiful, quiet, and really cleaned the dishes until about a year later, it cleaned less and wasnt really sure if it was working properly. It continued to get worse and I called SEARS to service it with the protection plan I purchased. I was told it was the sum motor and would be over $500 to fix. The service man said do you hear this sound, it sounds like it’s trying to start (like a swishy sound), and I said yes, it always sounded that way. He said it could have been a defect. In getting ready to contract it to be fixed, SEARS argues there was no plan; however it states it on my receipt (Dishwasher Order #9-------) Sears Protection Agreement (purchased separately). Stuck with BROKEN DISHWASHER!
I like that the dishes always came out spot free and that we havent had any maintenance issues with the unit. I also enjoy that it was very quiet. Thats important in a household with babies. It was also easy enough for my teenage son to use. One thing that I disliked was the time it took to complete the whole wash cycle. Also with a large family it would have been nice to have more room. I know it is limited with the 24 width but maybe deeper would help out. If they made it deeper with different drawer options that would also be helpful. Kenmore has met my initial expectations. Also the name Kenmore is trusted and reliable.
Before buying this dishwasher, I was going to buy a Bosch thinking that it was a top performer. After talking with many clients (Im a real estate agent) and plumbers, too, I was turned toward my Kenmore and LOVE it. Ive had it 3 years and no issues. Smart Wash, 1 hour wash, Pots & Pans, 4 hr delay, High Temp This dishwasher is laid out very efficiently and holds dishes from a dinner party of 10 easily. Simple and sleek. I have black. Clean out the filter periodically (easy). This is a no-rinse dishwasher, but I like to keep any potential smells at bay. Also love the configuration of the easy moving racks. Set up is great--I love to cook and this is a great kitchen tool that gets a lot of use.
Easily to load and your dishes come out clean. The time cycle saves you on your water bill and you do not use a lot of water. Your dishes are dried in no time. I am not sure of the actual size, I just know that it fit well in the space provided. It was the right size and I was able to get a lot dishes and even some pots in it. The appearance was attractive with easy to open door and buttons that made it easy for you to operate. It was white with black buttons. The dishwasher came with the house so I guess it costs was 300.00. It was made well and it was energy efficient and used less hot water. Consider the size, the name brand, and size and most of all its features, that was good price. We never had to have it repaired or serviced.
I have had no problems with this dishwasher. It takes care all the food scum on the plates and is extremely useful for large pans and cookie trays. I am able to load quite a bit. We are a family of four and my children are constantly using cups and never washing them out. Im extremely happy! I wish it came in a different color, however Im grateful that the previous owners left this behind. It is outdated. However there is no rust or broken items on it. The wear and tear on it has lasted. I would not hesitate in buying or replacing this dishwasher with the same brand.
It was a dishwasher, it filled with water and then cleaned the dishes. Not some great invention, just an easier way to get around a chore. It fit all dishes and was compact. Could fit anything in there even a bowling ball. Would have preferred black but white came with the house. Looked nice but I didnt use often.
My Kenmore dishwasher is a high-quality product built-in feature water temperature setting, various water settings, and various wash cycles for the amount or type of dishes loaded in. It has a powerful sprayer inside to get out the toughest stained dishes and gets my glasses sparkling clean and spotless. I had other dishwasher before but my Kenmore outlasted each one. Other brand seals wore out and leaked, or got clogged up or didnt clean my dishes as well.
I previously had a Maytag which stopped working immediately after the warranty expired. When attempting to have it repaired, I was shocked to discover that the repair would cost more than purchasing another dishwasher. Thats when I purchased a Kenmore. The Kenmore dishwasher was attractive, easy to use, dependable and quiet. I liked the way the racks accommodated different sizes of dishes and pans. It had plenty of room for everything. It met all my needs. Im still using it and have had no problems in two years.
Its simple to operate and it saves on energy and cleans efficiently and is durable... There is little to no mess after you take your dishes out and it also is efficient with the use of cleaning agents. It doesnt make my kitchen look cluttered and also all of the wires and tubes for the water are hidden out of sight to make for a more safe area without having to worry about tipping over anything. The appearance of it I think has a very modern and sheen look... I chose it because it pretty much matches my other appliances... I would definitely recommend this product to others. I think I got a great value for the money I paid for it. There are many expensive brands as well as the one I have but its well worth the money.
High performance dishwasher! Cleans very well, sterilizes, and gets off grease. Dishwasher runs quietly. There are many different options for cleaning and drying cycles. Perfect size to fit your needs. Plenty of room for standard glasses, dishes, and oversized platters, and odd-sized cookware. Lots of usable space on the top and the bottom rack. Modern and sleek design. The buttons on the front make it appear that youve paid a lot more for the product than what it retails for. Hows great in any kitchen whether your appliances are black or stainless. It is a great value! This particular model looks as if youve paid a great deal more than what it retails for, worth the design and the buttons on the front of the dishwasher.
The Kenmore Dishwasher cleans dishes well without having to pre-wash, runs quietly, water and energy saver, good looking and affordable. Its a great brand name that stands behind their products. I own black stainless steel appliances and I wanted a medium-sized dishwasher with LED lights not a knob-turning older, cheap-looking appliance. This one looks beautiful, black and fits in with the high-quality look of my kitchen without taking up too much cabinet space and affordable.
This dishwasher was easy to use & understand. It cleaned well & was easy to maintain. Parts were easy to clean & replace if needed. I would highly recommend to anyone. It fit great in my kitchen and didnt take up too much space. I do wish that it was slightly bigger to hold more dishes & wash them all at once. It looks like a typical modern dishwasher. It has a nice clean finish, with a fancy edge. Looked nice enough & cleaned well enough, but I feel like cheaper models could clean just as well for much cheaper cost. I would sacrifice some looks for quality & decreased price point.
I live in an apartment so space was a concern. I researched reviews and chose what I believed was the best dishwasher for the price. Kenmore has met my initial expectations. The dishwasher is Easy to use and has ample loading space. In general, Im very satisfied with the features of my dishwasher. My only complaint is that it possibly needs more spraying power as it Occasionally does not fully wash utensils when there are a lot of them.
Model: 665.12763K312. I ran the 3+ year-old Kenmore Elite dishwasher on 4 hour delay cycle but it didnt shut off during the night. The next morning, it was still cycling with water running through it. The counter tops above the dishwasher were too hot to touch. I immediately cancelled the cycle. After a few minutes, we opened the door and the blast of heat/steam set off the heat detector/smoke alarm in the kitchen. Inside the plastic cups were misshapen due to excessive heat, a drinking glass was cracked from the heat, and my the finish on my plates was crazed/etched/rough. Many online reports say there was a fire hazard for other models, but the recalls have already ended. Kenmore offered to send a repair person out, but I declined. Its too much of a fire risk to ever use this one again.
It worked well for the first 2 years. Now it doesnt seem to clean as well. It cleans most of the dishes most of the time. I usually have to run it through 2 cycles to wash off the residue it leaves behind. It has a lot of room for plates, cups, bowls and silverware. The appearance of this dishwasher is excellent. The stainless steel is beautiful and surprisingly easy to keep clean. I also like the buttons hidden from the face of the dishwasher. The value of this machine is high for my family. Being a family of 6 we go through a lot of dishes. The size of this machine meets our familys needs.
Not only is it old it is loud and it has a problem shutting off after the wash cycle. It is an ongoing problem. Most of the time after it finishes wash cycle it remain on and we have to throw the circuit breaker to get it to turn off. It does a good job cleaning the dishes and holds a good sized load.
I only had to rinse any heavy or dried food off. It cleaned very well in a quick amount of time. Has good options for cycles. I have a family of 5 and this dishwasher was good for that amount of people. It got a workout on holidays and family gatherings. Most pots and pans fit well and were cleaned to my standards. Easy to clean inside and out. Mine was white and the surface was very easy to keep clean. No fingerprints. Just wiped it down with a soapy towel and dried it off. I ran it empty to clean the inside. After comparing prices and brands, the Kenmore stood out as the best value. I have not regretted buying this dishwasher, it has delivered in all areas, cost, reliability, getting my dishes clean and overall satisfaction.
The dishwasher gets the dishes nice and clean. I can easy stack the dishes on the rack and they come out very clean. The power to the dishwasher is very powerful and does a great job with the rinse cycle, where there is no food or residue left on the dishes. The size of the dishwasher could be a little bigger, it a good size but would like more room for cups. It sometimes is hard to put large pots and pans in the dishwasher with other dishes, especially if there is grease on them. I have to wash them before I put them in the dishwasher to make sure the grease comes off. The dishwasher is black, which I love because its easy to keep clean and looking new. The button on the dishwasher is black with white writing to allow you to see when each cycle is happening (rinse, dry, etc). It is easy to wipe off and keep clean and it goes well with the other appliances in the kitchen. The value is okay! I feel it could be better and far as the size. However, when you live in an apartment you cannot pick the dishwasher you really want. When you are buying a home you have more choices or can buy what you want.
We bought this dishwasher (Sears Kenmore Dishwasher Model 66513409N410) 11/2014 & are extremely disappointed. We paid 549.99 sale price & thinking that it was smarter to pay a bit more for a better product. NOT SMART AT ALL!!! It doesnt clean very well and the motor stopped working after only 1 year and 2 months... We cant afford a new one so we hard to order a new motor for $68 to replace it. We do not recommend it... This is the 2nd Sears dishwasher in 4 years. 1st was cheaper and didnt last long either. NEVER AGAIN BUYING AT SEARS... They could not do anything to help me with this situation. UGHHH Lesson Learned!!
Have had this brand dishwasher for years, always been extremely reliable, sturdy and lasting. Honestly I dont think that I would ever choose a different name brand item for my familys needs. Works wonderfully. When we moved into our new home, there was a place in the kitchen already cut out for the dishwasher, it fit perfectly with no problems, its not too bulky at all. Love the flow. Has a beautiful finish. It was way more than I expected.
Cleans stuck on baked on foods. No pre-rinsing needed with this dishwasher. Does also clean without detergent if you run out. Water gets very hot during cleaning cycle. All dishes cleaned in all areas. This dishwasher has a compact look in the kitchen but has very large interior capacity for plates, cups, bowls, and pots and pans. Easily cleans all dishes and silverware for a large family dinner dish collection. The dishwasher has a beautiful slim sleek design perfectly matching fingerprint proof appliances of similar color. Lovely facade. Easy touch buttons. This appliance in comparison to similarly designed dishwashers is a very good value. Moderately priced with maximum function and capabilities.
Its very useful and it works good and keeps the dishes very clean. I use it a lot. The size fits perfectly and I like the color it works very good.The appearance is self-explanatory the machine stands out its bright and shining. It works very well. I take care of my property so it will last me a long time because its very sturdy and firm and reliable. I would recommend the machine to all my friends and family. One of my co-workers just got them one.
Have always used Kenmore appliances and they are dependable and the performance is a leader in its class. Strong long lasting and I extremely love this dishwasher. The size is the right amount for my needs. Fits right in to the kitchen decor and I am proud to have this dishwasher in my kitchen. Try it for yourself and you will see how much you will fall in love with this dishwasher. Many different styles that you can choose from so do not be afraid that there is not the right one out there for you. Different styles and many different colors to make your kitchen the perfect place to be. Value speaks for itself because of the name involved in this appliance. Strong and dependable are just a few of the many things you will love about this appliance.
Kenmore is a well known brand of kitchen appliances and it did meet my expectations in every way. It was a really good dishwasher and never had any problems whatsoever with it. But, I dislike how water stayed in the bottom of mine after the wash cycle. I’m not sure if it was just a defect in the one I had bought but I loved everything else about it. I also like that it really does good with getting the dishes clean and I feel like they always had a streak free shine and a good heated wash cycle and left my dishes smelling good every time.
