Kenmore Dryer Troubleshooting

If you're looking for help fixing your Kenmore Dryer, look no further! Our comprehensive Kenmore Dryer Troubleshooting guide will explain common issues, provide tips, and show you how to read your model's error codes.

Clothes are not drying satisfactorily, drying times are too long 
Lint screen clogged with lint. Lint screen should be cleaned before each load. 
The Air Only cycle has been selected. Select the right cycle for the types of garments being dried.  
Load too large and heavy to dry quickly. Separate the load to tumble freely 
Fabric softener sheets blocking the grill. Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once. 
Exhaust vent not the correct length. Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many turns. Long venting will increase drying times. Make sure vent is not crushed or kinked. 

Dryer will not run 
Door not closed completely. Make sure the dryer door is closed completely. 
PUSH to START button not pressed firmly or held long enough. Press and hold the PUSH to START button until you hear the dryer drum moving. 
Incorrect power supply. Electric dryers require 240-volt power supply. Check with a qualified electrician. 
Wrong type of fuse. Use a time-delay fuse. 

Unusual sounds 
Dryer had a period of non-use. If the dryer hasn’t been used for awhile, there may be a thumping sound during the first few minutes of operation. 
A coin, button, or paper clip is caught between the drum and front or rear of the dryer. Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects. Clean out pockets before laundering. 
It is a gas dryer. The gas valve clicking is a normal operating sound. 
The four legs are not installed, and the dryer is not level front to back and side to side. The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. 

Cycle time too short 
Automatic cycle ending early. 
The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the dryer. 
Use Timed Dry for very small loads. Change the dry level setting on Auto Dry cycles. 
Increasing or decreasing the dry level setting will change the amount of drying time in a cycle. 

Lint on load 
Lint screen clogged. Lint screen should be cleaned before each load. 

Stains on load or drum  
Dryer fabric softener not properly used. 
Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle. 
Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain your garments. 
Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans). 
These will not transfer to other clothing. 

Odors 
You have recently been painting, staining, or varnishing in the area where your dryer is located. 
If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the area, rewash and dry the clothing. 
The electric dryer is being used for the first time. 
The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor will be gone after the first cycle.

Several years ago when we first purchased Kenmore devices they were reliable and the service was great. The past few years the devices have not been as good quality wise or service wise. The last dryer we purchased was just dumped off and not properly installed. We had to go back to the store and complain before the job was done correctly.

These appliances came with the new house purchased over 10 years ago and I am still using both to this day without any problems. The washing machine is a top loader with the standard features and the dryer is a front loader electric dryer. Being an electric dryer I dont use it as much, only for large items such as sheets and hard to dry items especially in the winter time.

I had a Kenmore washer and dryer that worked great. They washed and dried my clothes fast. They never left a stingy odor in the clothes. They were easy to use and they lasted a very long time. We are a family of 6 so there is always clothes to wash. We wash every other day. There is uniforms and regular clothes, my husbands worked clothes and every time we washed we had the same great results - clean clothes with a fresh scent. This brand is innovative, smart, energy efficient. Its a brand that I have recommended to my family and they got it and liked it also.

Since we purchased the Kenmore Elite washer and dryer, the dryer has not functioned properly. It has never dried clothing completely. A large quantity of clothing cannot be placed to dry either, as the clothes are left completely wet. A year later and it has not gotten better. Sears sales and customer service are worthless to call. We are very frustrated with the entire experience!

I have had this machine for 3 years now and hate it every time I do laundry
I have had this machine for 3 years now and hate it every time I do laundry. The only function I can use is the timed dry. When I use the other functions, the machine doesnt dry the clothes or takes all day to dry one load. I called a technician to come and look over my dryer. This technician told me that the dry clothes are coming in contact with the sensor inside the machine next to the lint holder and left. I started putting smaller loads in the dryer and did not help. So I tried the timed dry to see if this would work and it does. But why spend money on a machine if you can only use one function? Useless is what I tell ya.

I contacted Kenmore right away. I got no response at all! Washer model number 110.5072011. Date of production is 3/16/14. This washer is JUNK! It senses, fills, drains a little, refills, sits for hours on end. Its now a month old and I baby-sit the piece of junk otherwise it does nothing. Ive never hated anything more. It should not take hours for a load. I wanted new because the old one at least 35 years old was taking what I felt was a long time to wash. This is what I get for thinking. At least the old one ran, washed the clothes faster, I could open the lid anytime I felt like it. It actually switched cycles! I hate Kenmore, will never buy anything made by them again. Im going to buy another Brand new washer but it will not be a Kenmore! Im not scamming anyone else into this pile of garbage either. Im using it for target practice! (I live in the country so I can do that) Im recording it, sending it to Kenmore! They are the worst company out there! Bad products. Horrible customer service. Ignoring consumers just makes them angry. So good-bye Kenmore. I hate you, will post reviews about you, your horrible product everywhere. Avoid this washer! The dryer I bought with it is fine but this washer will make you angry every time you touch it.

Front load large capacity washer is still going strong after almost 15 years. Only issue is mold buildup behind the rubber gasket that is difficult to clean. Does a great job of cleaning. The dryer lasted only 7 or 8 years. Circuit board started on fire a year after the recall expired. Replaced with an LG dryer that is great.

I owned a Kenmore washer and dryer many many years ago. The first set lasted over 20 years with only a few minor repairs. I was impressed and replaced these with a 2nd set. These lasted less than 10 years. The quality isnt what it used to be. Kenmore is not alone in this as few things are made to last these days. My Kenmore appliances were new over 40 years ago and they were your basic avocado green which by todays standards would be ugly. At the time they were purchased this was very nice. The set I owned so long ago were a great value. I purchased Whirlpool approximately 10-15 years ago because I felt they were a better value.

The dryer dries clothes the way it should. I have not had any problems with my dryer. I am very happy. I could not ask for a better brand. This is a very good brand. The Kenmore brand fits into my lifestyle. This is a brand that will last a long time. I have used this brand before. I have found that the brand does not require a lot of maintenance. We have had our dryer for at least 3 years now and it still looks fairly new, like it just came out of the box. There are no scratches on it. I guess we paid a good price for our dryer. It didnt cost an arm and a leg. We paid 300 for the dryer. I think that is a good value for the money. We got it at a discount. The store we went to was having a sale.

It take only thirty minutes to dry small to medium loads and an hour to dry large to ex-large loads. An excellent dryer. It last a very long time more than 3 years tops. The appearance is what I like about it because of the door and the way it opens up. I dont like the newer dryers. I would recommend it to my family and friends because of the value you put your money into. It is worth the price to have a nice name brand dryer like this one.

Very efficient drying clothes no matter how much clothes are inside. Lint was easy to remove after drying clothes also. It also had plenty of space for clothes. Very durable, never had heating element go out or any other issues. I had a warranty on the dryer but never had to use it. I think it was very good at drying clothes. Dryer was white in color and front loading for adding clothes to it. It has a see through door which you can watch your clothes dry. It has also a metal frame For the price of the dryer I feel it has had great value and last a very long time. I feel its a great dryer with nice features for anyone to use.

This washer and dryer combo always do a really great job of getting the the laundry done and smelling fresh. It is an added bonus that it is fast. I am happy with the appearance of the washer and dryer, they are very powerful, but do not take up anymore space than a usual washer and dryer. The value of this washer and dryer are great.

It works fine, but I do feel like I have to run a load of clothes through more than once to get them completely dry. This is costing us more on our energy bill. It always works when I need it. Ive only once had an issue with it, but that was because my husband was spinning the drum the wrong way and the belt came off. Its a dryer that hides in the closet. I dont really need it to be that pretty, but for the price we paid for it, it looks just fine. I have no real complaints. Weve had it for a few years, and it has been doing just fine. I did have to have it serviced twice, once because I felt it wasnt getting hot enough and seemed like something was wrong, and the other was my husbands fault for breaking it.

I love my Kenmore washer and dryer. As a mother/step mother of six children both appliances get used often. I have owned this set for roughly 5 years now and both are still running strong. I used to work for an appliance store a few years back and Kenmore was a brand many of my customers asked for or owned happily. I strongly recommend this particular brand for all of your appliance needs. This is a brand that will last for years to come, leaving you worry free knowing it will work up to par and get the results you are looking for in an appliance.

I bought this set the Kenmore Elite front load washer and dryer model 41100/81100. So disappointed. They are an expensive set paying $1500 a piece! 2 Years old about six months ago I had a repairman in to change the rubber molding on the washer. It stains no matter what you do! I tried wiping it out after each use leaving the door open to dry out (which I shouldnt have to do these things). The smell is awful. I have bought cleaners, bleached it, vinegar any trick possible to get my clothes not to stink! My towels are garbage. Now they smell like mold... My dryer just went down too! Only works about 10 minutes. Shuts off with error message! I wont even call the repairman this time. Not going to throw more money out my window! As soon as Im able this set will be on the street in the garbage pile! I paid a little more to get the Kenmores for their reputation of being quality! I wont be purchasing anything from Sears again!

My washer is a top loader and completely white, same with the dryer, but with different settings. The washer for heavy or light loads, the dryer for regular or delicate. The value was average but it was worth it for the quality of the product. It takes about 15 minutes to wash and the clothes come out smelling fresh and clean. It works very well, the same with the dryer, and helps keep the colors bright and the whites white.

It was so convenient to have the washer and dryer in our trailer. I had a 3 year old and was pregnant with my next child so I had plenty of laundry to do. We never were dirty! It was totally reliable. However, it moved across the floor if I put too much in it. I had to sit on it to control the movement sometimes. It was a matching white pair that fit neatly into an alcove off the hall in front of the bathroom, so it was a convenient location, near the places wed be removing our dirty clothing. The washer and dryer were also shiny and easy to clean.

It always does the job and well. It really cut down my laundry time so I can get more done during the day. It is very reliable. The dryer never broke down. If you would like a long lasting dryer I would definitely recommend this one. I was not impressed by the color options. The options that were available did not go with the color scheme in my laundry room, however it was an affordable price and had great reviews so I went with this one. You definitely get your bang for your buck. I have not yet had to do any maintenance work or get it tuned up/fixed so I have saved money doing this. Also I do not have to use it as much and long as my previous dryer so I save money on my energy bill.

Purchased a Kenmore Elite Washer & Dryer on Dec. 13, 2019. One week later I got water damage to my laundry room cabinets and drywall due to water leaking from the steam hose connected to the dryer. Still haven’t heard back from the Sears Insurance company and my laundry room smells like mildew and mold now. They think it’s the hose from the appliance? The washing machine is okay but started to make a funny noise when it starts and the speed cycle takes forever to finish. I was scared to keep these products even though I purchased a five year warranty.Due to all these problems in just a short time owning them we decided to return both items. “No Confidence” in these Kenmore appliances. Customer service department was a bit frustrating to deal with, dealing with water damage, the smell and not understanding what they were saying was not a good experience. I do not recommend these products! My previous 16 year old washer and dryer were Kenmore Elite. Quality really has gone down!☹️

I absolutely loved it. Its very powerful and didnt take long for my clothes to dry. Everything is pretty simple to navigate as well. Dried quick. It is very reliable. I havent had this for long, but I read some reviews and people recommended this and said it lasted them a long time also without any damages. My dryer was all white and I absolutely loved it. When I received it, nothing was damaged and everything worked perfectly fine. The all white is what appealed to me. The overall value was great. The dryer wasnt too expensive nor was it too cheap either. Usually cheap products get damaged quickly and easily. This was not the case.

May 2016, we purchased a washer and a dryer and 6 months later the dryer started making a horrible humming sound. So, we called the customer service and repair person comes out says, These products are not really the Kenmore used to be. They are made by Whirlpool just the name Kenmore goes on it. He tried to find the problem and said, Sorry the metal casing of the machine is very thin and does not absorb the sound so it produces this humming. I have called 2nd time because when the dryer is on we cannot be around in the house, once my friends were visiting and they all were uneasy. I am so sorry that last year we sold our 33 years old Kenmore washer and dryer with the house and regret doing it. All I want is to exchange with a better product even if we have to pay a little more from our pocket. For almost 35 years I have not bought any other but Kenmore and seems like this will be my last and I am determined to tell all my family and friends to stay away from these electronics. My washer and dryer are still in warranty and I am to the point where I might go to a legal route. The washer has started the showing some problems such as locking the lid, leaving soap on clothes etc. After my first service call they want me to buy warranty on both items??? Amazing, instead of improving their products they want to make more money by selling the service contract so you feel being looted twice.

I have had my Kenmore washer for three years now and it has been excellent every day that Ive owned it. My Kenmore washer takes care of anything I need washed. It even holds blankets. I love the clean, white appearance of the washer. Its very neat and fits just right with what I need on a day-to-day basis. Also, the value was amazing and the low price that I got this washer and dryer for is incredible. This washer and dryer have been the best Ive ever owned and I have never had to get it serviced.

I absolutely love my Kenmore and Im so impressed by it.

The Kenmore deluxe dryer with heat sensor technology deserves nothing less
The Kenmore deluxe dryer with heat sensor technology deserves nothing less than poor performance rating from this purchaser. I have had Sears service technician here several times trying to satisfy my complaint that it dries clothes poorly. After several computer assisted adjustments it still does not dry socks and heavy bulky items after being in the dryer 60 plus minutes.Terrible dryer, many different settings have been tried with no success. The auto dry feature does not work as advertised. The technician said its the dryer sheets. Bunk, I hardly use any. Warning try and get any assistance from Sears in Chicago, forget it. Junk, dont buy appliances from Sears. I have been a loyal Sears customer 30 plus years and their stuff is so bad. Im glad they are failing and going under as I had to get rid of their washer. It was so undependable. Buy from dependable manufacturers and remember Sears is not what we remember them for.

This dryer is energy efficient and extremely quiet. This dryer can gently dry just about anything: from sneakers and bedding to delicates and sweaters, and with low to no static. This is a very dependable machine. We have owned it for a long time and have never needed any service calls or repairs. I can almost time it to the exact minute when I put a load it - really helps with my home schedule. The model we purchased is sleek and white and adds some much-needed brightness to our tiny laundry room. It has a large capacity for its size, convenient storage pedestals, and even a lint trap cleaning reminder. This was an excellent appliance purchase. It was at the higher end of our budget, but we have never regretted it. Our clothing is gently dried with this efficient, ergonomic model, and we never have to worry about delicates being damaged or bulky items not drying properly.

It worked about average. My clothes were clean but stains still had to soak or run through a couple times if they came out. Works better with smaller loads and extra rinse. I had it for couple years. Never had to fix anything and when I sold it was still working. I would purchase another Kenmore if needed. The appearance was plain but I didnt dislike it. I do preferred to look at the front loader washer and dryers with different colors but I dont think they work as good. For the price I paid for it it was reliable. It was a good value.

I really like my washer and dryer. I think it has been a very good investment. I really enjoy having a washer and dryer in my home. The reliability of my Kenmore is outstanding. And would definitely recommend this brand to others. I really like the appearance of my washer and dryer. They fit very well with the decor of my apartment. I got my washer and dryer at a really good price.

We bought a Kenmore Connect washer and dryer almost 2 years ago. The washing machine is pure awful. Stains remain, odors continue even after washing. I would absolutely not advise this washing machine. Ive cleaned the drain compartment and the machine more often than recommended. These dirty clothes continue to come out of this waste of money washing machine. Ive tried different HE formulated detergents. No effect. Ive used the prewash and extra rinse cycles with the heavy duty cycle with no improvement. The flip-flop motion used to clean the clothes is a waste of electricity, water and the 2, yes, two-hour cycle. Weve replaced this useless washing machine with a Speed Queen washer. 25 minute long heavy duty cycle pumps out the truly clean clothes. Please do not waste your money on a Kenmore Connect, unless of course you like stains and stink on your clean clothes.

I buy exclusively Kenmore for all my kitchen and vacuum needs, they run good and I even have a 30 year old washer and dryer still working. I love Kenmore products and this frig is perfect, cools very well and its big enough for my family size. I love the lower vegetable bins. I line them with white garbage bags so when they get dirty I change the bag. But when its running the motor is somewhat louder than I would like since our kitchen is one room with living room and I have to turn up the TV to hear it.

I have three kids, including myself! I have a Lot of laundry to do, Daily. I load my dryer way too much, than I should, but it ALWAYS gets my clothes Dry! I use my dryer on a daily basis and NEVER have a problem. Love It! My dryer is white, which goes with EVERYTHING. It matches my washer, even though its not the same brand. I love how easy it is to use! I actually received my dryer as a rebuilt one from a friend. Even being fixed and reused (by me) it still gets the job done and a Knock on wood it STILL works like its brand new!

It cleans my clothing. It works well. I only needed to have it repaired a couple of times over the years. It sometimes did not drain. Both have had their issues from time to time. Usually inexpensive to have repaired. They have survived three children growing up. Both machines are white and have the look of a traditional washer and dryer. They are in my basement so they dont need to look great. Given to me as a gift from my parents for my new house. I do not know how much they cost but they have lasted over ten years now and I have had minimal problems.

Kenmore washer model 110.27102310. Purchased washer and dryer two months ago. Since day one, it has been loud, walks the floor and now its leaking oil. I have bought Kenmore appliances for over thirty years with great results. This washer is NOT KENMORE QUALITY! I have a Sears serviceman coming in two days. He will hear my wrath.... along with everyone else. Sadly disappointed in Kenmore and even more disappointed in Sears for selling this crap. It WILL catch up with them.

First off, I realized washers and dryers fall into the same category, which is a mistake. The dryer has been great for the eight years I have owned it, albeit overpriced. The front load washers (He3) are complete junk. I spent years doing light repairs on commercial machines at hotels, so I do all my own repairs. My labor is free so I believe my opinion should hold more weight than average. If I had to pay a repair service, I would have junked this machine long ago. I am about to replace the drum seal for about the 4th or 5th time. In total I have done an major repair about 10 times and of course the mold/mildew smell of the machine, constantly buying expensive cleaners to rid the smell. Listen, the smell comes from the pump. It doesnt fully drain the sump, and the detergents leave a residue... If you ever take the pump off, it smells just like a sewer. My brother bought a Sams---, 5 years, absolutely trouble-free.

This appliance will fit in with any decor. It doesnt stand out but it blends in well. Its a good addition to any laundry room. This appliance does what its supposed to do and it does so at a good price.

Washer works very well and the dryer works very quickly and efficiently. Would like to get a bigger capacity dryer though but the washing machine works really well. The washer could be a larger so we could wash bigger loads and the dryer could be larger for big blankets and quilts. I could use a more efficient washing machine. Both the washer and dryer look all right but could be more rugged and sturdy. Maybe taller and less wider so they can fit in smaller spaces. The washer and dryer are worth the amount we paid for them. Just think we need to spend more money for a bigger capacity washer and dryer.

The dryer works great. The different settings allow for the complete dryness or just throw wrinkled clothes to smooth them out. The wrinkle setting works amazing. It has worked every time. Very reliable.... Always drys clothes in the right amount of time. Any time I had an issue it was easy to fix. I like the appearance. It is sleek and classic. I do wish they had color options though. It would be nice to have options so it could be a modern laundry room. Very worth the money. Its reliable and compares well to other dryers that are slightly above this price. Again it is really worth the money.

Good size and works great. Have not had any issues yet except the one time a shirt got caught in the door. It ruined it when it started spinning. Its been very reliable so far.

Ours is white and it looks very good. I dont remember the exact price but I think it was fairly reasonable to buy. We didnt buy the most expensive machine but it does everything that we need.

We have had the washer since 2003. It has been quite reliable and fits the needs of a family of four. I had it when my son, who was in sports and Naval Sea Cadet Corp, was living with us and it handled large amounts of VERY dirty laundry. While it washes very well, the spin cycle is awful. It leaves the clothes VERY wet and we often have to run the spin cycle several times before putting the clothes into the dryer. Also, the washer is very dated, plain and boring and has a cheap appearance. It does not have any redeeming qualities with regard to the aesthetics of the washer. But I believe that the washer is a good value for the price. It is a below base model – purely to perform a function.

I have always used Kenmore washers and dryers as they come with great warranties and are a great product you can trust. I have had both gas and electric dryers. I had trouble going to public laundry facilities as the washers and dryers were never any good and sometimes had to rewash as they were not even clean, you will never have this problem with a Kenmore. You can choose from top loading or front loading and very stylish washers and dryers (even stainless steel), all sizes and capacities for all of your needs, you just cannot go wrong when you choose Kenmore. This is my choice of reliable washers and dryers and they are made by a trusted company which believes in their products and stands behind them which is something not everyone does nowadays.

Time to replace our 16 yr old washer and dryer. So many bad reviews out the
Time to replace our 16 yr old washer and dryer. So many bad reviews out there... We felt we had to choose the lesser of the evils because there was no overall good washer/dryer out there! We found a good deal on the Kenmore Elite top load washer model 31512 and the matching dryer model 61512. I expected problems to arise from all the complaints about electronics and washer stopping.... Been using it for 2 months now and I have to say I am pleasantly surprised! The errors that did occur were normal occurring errors w/ any washer. Got excited about the extra large tub and I loaded it up! (We are a family of 6!) Of course it didnt clean well. (Had to try it anyways! lol!) The 2 times it shut off was due to imbalance. My old washer would have shut off too. It appears that if you keep opening and shutting the lid while its filling up it will add more water too. Wanted to keep peeking inside and was alarmed at all the water usage! Then I figured out it was every time I opened the door it would add more water. My FAVORITE is the quick wash cycle!! Not only does the larger tub allow me to do more laundry, but I can pick Quick cycle and itll be done in 35 minutes not an hour!! Whoooo Hoooo!! (Of course real dirty stuff I stay on the normal cycle.) The dryer is great. Because the washer spins the heck out of the clothes, the dryer doesnt take as long to dry. Also, lots of complaints about it not cleaning..... I honestly think it may be an overloading issue. You cant stuff it. 3/4 the way up the wall is enough to load it and if you want to add more water, you just push a button. I really do like this so far. Oh....if you are wanting the dryer rack to go inside the dryer for shoes and sweaters I have battled the giant on this for you... They sent me the wrong rack twice and insisted that it was the right one. I had to send photos to the consumer affairs dept and such to prove the rack they were sending was wrong! Come to find out the warehouse was pulling the incorrect rack because the manufacturer was out of the correct one. One size does not fit all! This has been going on over a month to get the correct rack. Make sure you get rack 3751EL1001B. It is NOT symmetrical like the 3750 version. Hope this helps some of you out there and you are pleased with it like I am. :)

Its easy to clean, runs quietly. Very durable, great value. Have owned for over 7 years. I would recommend this Kenmore if you are on a strict budget. Also energy efficient for me. The Kenmore does not require a lot of space. I have three people in my household including a 3 year old so there enough space for all the different items we refrigerate. I choose the white color to match any color and it fits well in my kitchen. Does not attract hardly any dust or lint. Easy to clean. Has sturdy door handles. Because its energy efficient I save on my monthly electric bill. Also my food stay fresher longer. All drinks get cool quick and stay cool so my grocery bill is manageable.

Kenmore Series 700 HE washer/dryer - Horrible experience starting from day
Kenmore Series 700 HE washer/dryer - Horrible experience starting from day one - delivery was a nightmare. After using washer for less than 60 days I confirmed that washer doesnt put enough water in tub to get clothes clean - detergent remains undissolved. I tried several different cycle settings - had to use heavy bedding for all loads to get enough water in tub - still doesnt clean sheets or blankets - they are dry at the end of the cycle. The washer doesnt agitate vigorously enough to ever get the clothing or bedding submerged in water. Sears would not consider doing any kind of exchange for a different machine and said there is nothing we can do as it is beyond 30 days. Said to sell it on Craigs list.

Dries clothes very well. I like having the different heat options for delicate and cotton items. The anti wrinkle setting is awesome as well. I have had this dryer for a few months and have had no problems. I normally only have to run the dryer once to get everything dry unless it is bedding. Mine sit right off my kitchen so appearance was important to me. Thankfully I was able to get a matching washer as well. They go well with my other appliances. Well worth the price. The new technology makes drying easier and faster. Now if they would just make something that folds my clothes and puts them away.

Will wash out the dirtiest dirt and no rewash. I love it. 3 kids, 5 sports, one concrete worker, sand everywhere. One washer and one dryer I am the winner. I get the good laundry award from my family every day. It works as hard as my kids play and they can get really dirty and stained up a lot. They play softball, go fishing, and fish worms are really slimy. It still looks as good as the day I bought it. Easy to keep clean. It looked great in the laundry room from day one and I even got my color I wanted. I bought at income tax time. I knew it was going to be costly but was surprised at the cost. It was more reasonably than I thought it was going to be. I would not have waited for tax time if I would have known.

I bought a Kenmore washer and dryer in August 2013, and was told I would never have problems. The washer doesnt clean anything and always smells. The dyer collects fluff and dust, a fire hazard under the filter. You need to vacuum the area when you remove the filter or the dryer fluff accumulates. So my washing machine is 1 year and one month and has totally died. There is nothing to do but spend more money. I have no more money. My previous washer and dryer lasted 20 years, with 3 kids. I hate Kenmore and will never buy anything from Sears ever again. This should not happen.

Kenmore is the only washer & dryer that I now buy. I tried others but nothing beats a Kenmore for quality & dependability. I have a white top loading washer - easy to load & easy to unload. The tub on the washer is for large loads and it is deep - kind of a stretch for short people (you might have to stand on your tiptoes) but well worth the quality. Its very dependable and gets my clothes clean & wrinkle free. With the white side loading Kenmore gas dryer, I never have to re-dry clothes because they are damp after the drying cycle runs - unless you try to dry 10 towels at once. When I did have a small problem with the dryers heating element, the service tech showed up the next day and there was no charge. My previous Kenmore washer lasted well over 10 years - we ended up giving it away so we could have a larger capacity tub and I had to have the matching dryer.

Performs great. Some improvements could be noise of clothes and heavy loads. I would like to let more heavier loads all at once. Overall very nice, cleans efficiently and takes my gratitude to a whole new level since I do have 6 people (including me). This dryer earns all of my respect since we cycle through clothes like crazy, having this dryer helps tremendously. Great duration and this dryer efficiently keeps my clothes from wrinkling and actually dries them. It has an amazing sign of duration. This dryer makes life a heck of a lot easier to go on! Appearance is nice and looks clean and cut. Doesnt look at all out of shape or breaks down any time soon. Love its design and its efficiency. Great value for the loads it can hold and the happiness of me with the less stress of other dryers takes value away. I would pay for this dryer without worrying about the value.

This one I have not really pushed it but easy fourteen in one load. I have the dryer as well and it dryers them in roughly thirty-two minutes. It is bigger than your normal machines, but it doesnt seem that much bigger. Hard to picture I know. They are actually a sleek looking machine. Weird to think of a washer that way, but it the best way to describe it. It is a bit pricier, but you will see where you save money. It is an HE machine uses less electric, less water, and if you get HE detergent you use less of it. The other thing nice about HE detergent is you can run your waste water to save a tree and it will water the tree with no harm to the environment.

I have the same issue as J. of Waukeegan, IL (2/17/15) and I am sure many others that my Kenmore HE washer does not clean clothes. Although I have tried all different detergents (all HE) and all size loads and all settings including deep wash, two rinses, super wash and so on, the laundry comes out with white marks, dry spots (the section of the clothes that are folded do not get wet), and full of lint, fuzz and dog hair. My laundry comes out of the washer dirtier than it goes in. It is truly disgusting. I have contact customer service and sent them pictures and they eventually agreed to send a service representative. But the representative only tested if the washer was going through its cycles properly, he did not test to see how it washed clothes. I showed him the dirty clothes that came out the wash and the only recommendation that was given was to do three loads without detergent and then use only a small amount of detergent for all future washes. We have been only using the small amount of detergent as the representative indicated, however, we followed his instructions of running the three washes without detergent anyway and as we expected, it did not have any affect on the functionality of the washer. I am certain that this model just does not allow enough water to wash the clothes and since it is on a sensor we cannot adjust the amount of water. Before the representative was sent I clearly explained that the washer was working as it was designed, the problem was that it was designed poorly. Yet the representative was sent to only see if the washer was functioning as designed and made no effort to see if it actually washed clothes or to understand the problem (it was not the representatives fault, he was very polite and tried to help, he just wasnt allowed to do anything more). I am so highly disappointed that Sears will not help me but also so disappointed that they can have such a bad product AND they are not interested in understanding its product flaws and improving their product line.

Kenmore is a maker of laundry machines that lasts and requires low maintenance. Thoroughly cleans and dry clothes and enjoys a good rep, and is one of the first names when thinking of washer and dryers. Also I went to laundry mat and all machines washer and dryer were Kenmore. Its the best for clean clothes, good cycles, wash, rinse and dry. I take for granted that I will get the best clean always and something that I like. It dissolve detergents fully and dont leave any deposit of laundry detergents. I have an washer that is loaded on top. Its white and takes very little to keep it clean. Very little to clean the insides of the washer and leave a good looking machine outside and inside. Kenmore is a leader in laundry machines. There is an automatic value when a Kenmore product is bought. These are well built machines and they have a good endurance rep.

The control panels are fairly straightforward, so selecting the cycle/features I need is pretty easy for such high-end modern machines. The washer could be easier to clean, however-- the sealing gasket is always dirty and holds little bits of stagnant water unless I am diligent about wiping it clean after every cycle, which is more maintenance that I think a washing machine should really require. The dryer I have no complaints about.

The washer and dryer was a very good purchase. The washer washes the clothes great and gets all the stains out that a normal washer couldnt. The dryer dries the clothes three times faster than any other dryer. The washer and dryer is very reliable. I use them every day and I havent had a problem yet. The price might be a little outrageous but you are paying for a really great washer that will last for many years without problems. They are a little bit slimmer than an average washer and dryer and they always look really white and it doesnt rust. I think the value of the washer and dryer is priceless. The washer and dryer are overall satisfying and I would recommend to everyone. Their appearance is great and their working abilities are outstanding.

I used a Kenmore washer and dryer for many years and was very happy with them and felt that they were the best on the market. They were dependable, well-built and lasted for years without need of repair and always did a good job on my clothes.

I have a great experience with both my washer and dryer. Theyre both energy saving. I love my washer and dryer. Theyre easy to use. Both my washer and dryer are very reliable source that I can definitely depend on my washer and dryer to work for me and my family. I like the washer and dryer because me and my family clothes clean great. My washer and dryer both are a white color. They stand beside each other. My washer is deeper and more clothes are able to fit in my washer. My dryer is also deeper inside and do double the load. I think the value of its worth every penny of my money for my washer and dryer. I would tell everyone to purchase the product because it would be well worth it.

Very satisfied. I have the matching washer and I have been able to purchase replacement parts for it on amazon. Simple to repair. I have never experienced any mechanical issues with my washer or dryer that would impede their reliability. I have had my set for years without any major mechanical or operational issues. It looks like any other standard front loading dryer. Its white. Buttons are simple to use. Although I did have an issue with one of the knobs falling off. My set was given to me. I did research what the retail price would be per unit. 499 seems fair. For the overall performance of the machines over the years, if I had to, I would purchase them myself for the suggested selling price.

I love the timed sensors for the clothing being dried. Most dryers have the times setting (which this one does) but it is also very easy to over dry your clothes and then a burnt smell could happen. Delicates setting is perfect with the sensor. I love it. I have actually bought another one for my friend who had a terrible old dryer. Her clothes are no longer a burnt smell. The reliability of this dryer is just simply fantastic. It doesnt overheat. It runs very quiet. I love the front facing dryers. Its easier for me being short to grab and put items in the dryer. I love the circle look to it as well. Having top for some laundry folding space is wonderful too. The value of this product I too believe couldnt be any better. I am simply satisfied and wouldnt go with another dryer. Hopefully the quality and value pay off in the long run.

We have this dryer and have had great experience with it! It always dries our clothes on the first cycle. I dont have to keep drying them after the cycle is complete. I like all of the different settings as well. It has always dried my clothes well. It also is able to fit my king size comforter in it! I am happy that I dont have to take it to the laundromat! I love the small buttons on the top and the knob is easy to use. I love the simplicity and the clean look of it. The glass doesnt show fingerprints much which I also like. I like this dryer and feel like it is worth what I paid! I think it is important to get good value out of something especially in a high priced item like a dryer.

It works fine for smaller lighter loads and dries them in a decent amount of time. A full load of blankets, towels or sheets takes hours to dry. So long that I only let it run an hour at a time. It has lasted a good while and never had a problem except not being able to dry a full load of towels or blankets. I often clean the filter but every time I use it, its clogged up again. It looks just like any ordinary dryer of that type. It doesnt have a modern appearance but the way it looks is just fine. It looks exactly like any other dryer from the same era. It seems like a fairly good value considering how long it has lasted with no problems.

2 years without a problem. Simple controls. Have dials so push buttons dont go bad. All I have to do is select the soil, water temp, and fill the tub. The machine even knows how much water to put in by how full the basket is. I had been shopping for a new set for some time. Most brands nowadays you have to have a degree in engineering to operate them. I needed something I could hook up and go. I dont want to spend a lot of time figuring out how to run the appliance. My set is so simple to use. No electronic parts/push buttons. Just turn the dial to your preferred setting and water temp. The water level in the machine is determined in the machine by the amount of clothes put in. So simple. Clothes come out clean. The dryer is just as simple and the clothes come out almost wrinkle free. No fuss. Able to get all the weekly laundry done in one day.

Dryer worked great for a little over 2 yrs. Right after the warranty was up the heat quit working. We thought it was the heating element. But it turned out to be the computer board. I bought a new dryer for what it would have cost to put a new computer board in it. I really liked the appearance of this dryer. Thats why I bought this style of dryer. But never again. I went back to the old style. Just because they come up with a newer style dryer dont mean its better than the old style. The value of this style dryer was not good at all. The very first dryer I bought which was an old style dryer lasted over 20 yrs. But the new style dryer didnt last 30 months.

It worked well for the price. It lasted a few years before I had to replace it. Overall I did enjoy it for the quality cleaning it provided for me and my clothes. It lasted a long time and managed to keep my clothes dry and clean without taking a long time. It was a quality piece of machinery that makes me want to go and get another. The look is very professional and clean, without being too distracting. I enjoy its quiet presence, not needing to be flashy to be appealing to consumers. I would buy another soon. The washer and dryer are worth the price for the amount of time they last. I feel that it is important to find a good deal, and these two are just that for anyone on a budget.

I have purchased a Kenmore double stacked washer and dryer that has never failed me. I loved to use this for all my washing need. Its quiet and really gets my clothes clean. It has great reliability. It has never broke down. Its smart washer and dryer to have. I love the big cycles that it can capacitate. I have a good size one. It is silver. It is a kind of chrome style. Its very shiny. It is very appealing. I like this clover because it is great. It has a large drum for maximum use. It is a washer and dryer that I would recommend. Im not really sure what else you want me to say about it. I think that this is a great value for what I got. It is very durable. I have had it for quite a couple of years. I love the way it performs and could not ever see myself with it.

I love them! They have been so good. There are five people in my family, so we do a lot of laundry. I dont remember what we had before the ones we have now but I wouldnt go back! As of now we really havent had too many problems. One big one is sometimes the washing machine will get off balance and wont finish a load. We have to unplug and redo the load. Other than that they have been great. When I grow up Im going to buy my own Kenmore washer and dryer. If it was up to me I would suggest that everyone should get one.
