I bought a Kenmore gas range from Sears in Sept. 2012. I recently tried to use the broiler and the self cleaning features (not at the same time of course). When using these features, the range produced an extreme amount of a chemical smelling smoke that filled my house and set off my smoke detectors. I called a technician and was told that the unit was burning off a cutting oil that is used in the manufacturing process and that the smoke was perfectly normal. REALLY??? My husband has asthma and has had to leave the house because of the smoke. I cant get anyone from Sears of Kenmore to help me. I am incurring costs like crazy trying to get this mess cleaned up, paying for my husbands hotel and paying a company to come in and run air scrubbers. I have also had to remove the stove from the house in order to reduct the smell of toxins and now I have no way to cook for my family.

Keeps the items I need for food cold enough but it sometimes builds ice in both the refrigerator and freezer sections. The freezer could be larger also. Too small especially in freezer section. Light sometimes gets in way of the food too. I am not sure whether is large as they claim it to be. It is all white and no different than any other refrigerator from Sears or any other store. Kenmore is ok. Depending on the sale prices at Sears, you may need to pay more for a stainless steel finish. Also, temperatures in the right door ran slightly warm. This is a very well-rounded high-end fridge that you can get at a mid-range price. If stainless steel is a must, upgrade to the 72483 (or to the LG model its based on). Otherwise, the 72482 offers the best value in its class.

Kenmore Elite dual oven Electric Range Model 790. Purchased this stove in late 2009. Within months, the touch sensors on the back panel would work only intermittently. Called Sears to have repairs made to my new stove and they walked us through pressing lots of buttons on the display board to reset it. Problem persisted, but didnt have the time/energy to look into it further. Months later, the top oven stopped working correctly. Not sure what happened, but anything we cooked was raw on top and burned to a crisp on the bottom. A few more calls later to their service department where, once again, they walked us through the process of turning the top oven on to as hot as it would go. Recording the temperature using a thermometer we had to place in the oven, turn the oven down, wait for it to cool down, record the temp, etc., etc.Again, we gave up and decided my time is more valuable than a working top oven and had already spent HOURS on the phone being shuffled around from department to department (Warranty Dept, Customer Service, Customer Solutions, Home Warranty, back to customer Service where I was transferred incorrectly back to Home Warranty...). So, we lived with an intermittently working board and now a clearly improperly heating top oven. BUT - we didnt buy the extended warranty so we were now out of luck since a year has since passed.Fast forward three blissful (not) years with this piece of crap oven and we start to notice that the racks in the bottom oven seem to be very loose. Hmmmm. Take all racks out, rearrange them thinking that perhaps they have designated slots in which each rack fits, but they all seem to have the same problem. On the phone to Customer Service we go... And again we are transferred all over the organization until finally we land upon a person that might be able to help me. IF we are willing to pay $280 for a service contract upon which they will send a tech out to make repairs up to $500. If I dont want to go that route, I could always sign up for a Home Warranty ($55/month for 1yr contract or $35/month for 1yr contract for appliances) OR a Service Smart Agreement - again for repairs UP TO $500. After that, I pay for it... Oh yeah, I had to pay either a $90 or $60 service call each time a tech came out.At this point, my life is getting shorter and shorter and I decide I cant spent any more time being dragged around by the nose by Sears any longer and wave the white flag - until one day, I leaned down (to the floor, because this is where the bottom oven is) to lift a roast out of the oven and the racks suddenly collapse spraying bubbling, scalding juice all over the front of my arms, chest and legs. The oven walls seem to be expanding every time we turn this thing ON! Im now down to ONE rack in the bottom oven, a non-functional top oven (unless you like your cookies and biscuits raw on the top and charred on the bottom) and an intermittently working sensor - that, by the way, I rely on to use the top burners. If I could give this stove - and Sears Customer Service (Im looking at you, Cheryl) negative stars, I would.I tried today to give it one more go at getting this thing serviced by Sears since the aluminum foil that Ive had to wrap around the sides of the racks in the oven (so that they will take up some space and not collapse on me under the weight of a casserole dish) is going to need to be beefed up soon, but it was once again fruitless. I spent HOURS on the phone going through the merry-go-round of transfers from one department to another and in the end, spoke with NINE different people in different departments until I ended with the above esteemed Cheryl in Customer Solutions who listened patiently to my story (which, by this time I had been a little sick and tired of reiterating) and went on to tell me that since I hadnt purchased an extended warranty through them that I was out of luck.Really? Even though my first call to complain about this happened within months of owning it - when it was under the one year warranty? Again, she called to my attention that I never even had a service person out to my house. Yeah, no kidding Cheryl, because they had ME to do the work for them - which I did, by spending hours over the phone pressing this button, relaying the info to the tech on the phone, pressing that button, relaying the info. etc, etc. Sears did a really good job of stringing me along long enough that I was out of warranty and they could wash their hands of the whole thing.For generations, my family has been die-hard Sears appliance customers and have always had excellent products and service. That is a thing of the past. Get you in, sell you the appliance, and get you to spend even MORE money on a warranty. God knows one shouldnt expect a $2000 stove to last longer than a year... Ill be buying my appliances locally from here on out.

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

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

3 years ago, I bought what I thought would be my last stove. Brand new Kenmore, with a warming, drawer and burner. Self cleaning. 1300.00 dollar thought it was the best. Im 60 years of age. I figured I would buy one last stove before I retired. Hey, its a Kenmore, right? It would be here long after Im feeding the bugs, right?WRONG! In less than three years the oven wont heat up passed 200 degrees. The circuit board costs over 200$. I didnt buy the Sears extended warranty. Its a Kenmore! The independent service man that came out said, he would not recommend this repair, because, this problem would keep occurring. He said, he would not feel like he had done me right, if he had repaired my stove. He charged me nothing, apologized, and left. I stuffed a hundred dollar bill in his shirt pocket, and thanked him. I called Sears. They said, I should have bought the service policy. I wont buy anything from Sears again. I replaced it with a 200$ Plain Jane stove from Lowes, no electronic, no bells, no whistles. It works just fine!

My oven has lasted nearly problem free over the years, and if I had problems that needed service, I could call and get it. My relative purchased a stove at the same time they both still work. They were seriously used for family cooking and truly held up to the task.

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

Last week, the oven door to my 2-year-old Kenmore range exploded - shattering and sending shards of glass across the kitchen. The range hadnt been used since the night before and I had turned the broiler to low, opened the door to slip food onto the rack, and was in the process of closing the door when the glass completely shattered. I called Sears, where I bought the blasted thing.They suggested I contact Kenmore, who suggested I contact Frigidaire, who referred me back to Kenmore. No one seemed concerned that I could have been hurt and that the range I purchased in good faith and based on a history of using Kenmore appliances couldnt be used. I do not have the money to trash this faulty range or I would. I can say, without hesitation, that I will never purchase an appliance from Sears or Kenmore again due to the lack of effective customer service over an obviously flawed design. I still havent had it fixed and am sickened every time I walk into my kitchen.

We purchased new Kenmore Elite gas oven/range, refrigerator, and dishwasher a little over 2 years ago. A few months after the warranty ran out, the refrigerator fan started making terrible noises. The dishwasher, floor pan started to rust inside, and the gas stove ignitor switch assembly failed. These appliance are incredibly poorly built, and Sears is trying to stay in business by browbeating you into a lifelong expensive service contracts, which end up costing far more than just buying good appliances to begin with. Dont even THINK about purchasing Kenmore appliances. PLEASE find people who have 1 1/2 or 2-year-old Kenmore appliances and talk to them *first*. I would never ever buy another Kenmore appliance again.

My Kenmore electric range (Model #790-9421340D; VF 83045790) is about 5 years old. In December 2011, the range shut down completely due to a faulty control board for the variable temperature burner. I had the board replaced. A couple of days ago, I went to turn on this same variable temp burner and literally saw an electric current arc in front of my eyes! The surge caused my main circuit breaker to home to shut down cutting off all electricity. Thank God I was not hurt, but I shudder to think what might have happened. Obviously, I will be replacing this range, but not with a Sears product. We should expect that a major appliance should last more than a few years without needing repair. I will be shopping for a much more reliable product.

We are a family of six and this dishwasher fits all our dishes nicely. It has plenty of room for pots and pans, and the size goes great with our kitchen. Its tough on food residue and cleans great. It has a sleek appearance and its white so it goes perfectly with my range and other appliances. Also, its easy to wipe the outside clean which I love. Since Ive had this particular dishwasher for 8 years now I would definitely say it has a good value for this item, and its built to last. I would highly recommend this dishwasher.

My husband and I went to Sears appliance in Clifton March 6, 2014. The salesperson was rushing to make a sale, but we insisted on asking questions like, Can the microwave be used with the rack that is inside it? He told us they sell them with the rack because it can be used with the rack. We paid $400 for the Kenmore over the range microwave oven. We even purchased the extended warranty. With both the manufacturers warranty and the extended warranty we felt safe. Well, the microwave caught on fire and when we called we got a royal run-around for 3 hours. Sears blamed the manufacturer, the manufacturer blamed Sears, then Sears blamed me for using the microwave. The consumer is now blamed for using the appliance as the sales person said it could be used. This microwave has a rack to be used when cooking. It worked well for 6 months, then it caught on fire. When we asked about the warranty and manual, it turns out that the consumer is at fault no matter what happens.My house could have caught on fire. I have a microwave oven that should not be sold because of its tendency to catch on fire or blow up. The techs used the words blow up, not me. It is a fire hazard. Sears will neither replace nor will they repair the microwave. The people at Sears dont know that Kenmore is a part of that company and that they have the same numbers. Its ridiculous. I took pictures of the charred section. I thought Sears was better than that. I guess the best suggestion is dont buy microwave ovens from Sears. I checked other reviews and they all give terrible reviews. I should have read those first.

My Kenmore stove has a digital display on the top center of stove. Two weeks ago, my son was home and noticed smoke coming from the kitchen. He realized that the stove was on fire. He ran to the fuse box and turned off the electricity. He then started to put the fire out. By then, the house was on fire. He was able to put the fire out, but it was too late. Cabinets, walls, floor, and kitchen was burnt badly. It has cost more than I can afford to fix everything. Well, the fire was caused by the timer of the stove, which you can see in the picture. I tried to contact Kenmore, but of course they gave me the runaround. Now, I have a burnt kitchen. I am unable to afford to fix and cant afford another stove.

We were excited about our new Kenmore oven. It was installed today and it took more than one hour to reheat the oven to 400*. After turned off the oven, the fan was on for a while. Its also very loud oven. Its new and we already called Sears for service. Im having red flags already and not sure if I will keep this oven. Do yourself a favor do NOT buy Kenmore.

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

Twice now coming home my Kenmore stove has turned itself on by the handle. Nobody was home. I could not figure out how it could happen until I read this happened to others. Very dangerous gas smell. I felt like I would pass out. BEWARE!

My Kenmore dishwasher was very fast and it did not make a bunch of loud noises like some dishwashers that I had owned prior. This specific model dishwasher had powerful jets. I cant recall a time when I owned my first Kenmore that I ever had to run my dishes through a second cycle. They always came out looking crystal clean. The dishwasher came with my first condo I bought and for the five years I lived there I had absolutely no problems at all with it. I own a Kenmore now because of it. I was told by the previous owners of the condominiums that the dishwasher and oven were brand new and had been installed a week earlier.

Kenmore over the stove microwave. Four years ago the handle cracked on the lower attachment point. So, I went online & ordered a new handle. Im a retired Maintenance Master Electrician 47 yrs so replacing a handle should not be a problem. Ha Ha. Was I wrong I removed the door & the plastic trim from door, I gave up an hour later and called Kenmore for service. The technician came out & we both worked for another hour with no success. He said, Lets order a new door. About 10 days later he came back with the new door. He said that he was very sorry that new door cost $300.00, thats half the cost of the microwave new. It was over $700.00 on sale. But what are you going to do? So I said yes. He felt so bad he did not charge me for the service call. So now here we are on Sunday, my wife finds a piece of black plastic on the stove top. She looks & its from the bottom on the handle on the microwave. It has broken in the same as the last time. I told that I was not spending another $300 for another door. So, while I was cleaning the door with alcohol, I found a crack in the door on the bottom to the left of the handle. I got some 5min Epoxy & have glued the handle. Remember there are only 2 people in this house & we are 70 yrs. old. I will be looking for a commercial grade microwave to replacement this one but I guaranteed that it will not be a Kenmore or a Whirlpool.

Have had dishwasher for twelve years with no problems. Previously, I had a stove that was replaced only because of style. I have never had any bad incidents with any Kenmore appliance.

The oven is fine, though it takes a bit long to preheat. The problem is that the igniters on the range went out, and the only people to work on them come from Sears. And Sears is the literal worst. Theyve cancelled their repair dates on me twice, causing me to be late for work. The ovens may work for a time, but as soon as they go out, dont expect anyone from the store to be even the slightest help.

The product in which I have purchased and used for the past 4 years works great. I have no issues with them at all. Kenmore is a great product that continues to innovate and produce fantastic product of all price range.

Purchased the Kenmore Electric Range Model #790-94182310 in March of 2015. Used mostly the top, some baking but no more than 10 times a month. Babied this range! Wiped up any spills myself. However had a spillover and decided to do the first self-clean. Range is 1 year and 8 months old. The error code came on flashing F-10 on the display. I hit the off button but the F-10 continued to flash. Turned off electric supply at the breaker. Never had a ring or anything other than the F-10 to alert me. By the time it cooled, I had done the research for troubleshooting which was very helpful through YouTube by a Sears technician. We learned there was probably a temperature sensor problem. We also learned how to test it and the control panel. After removing the back panel, we discovered they both were heat-damaged. Part of the control panel was blackened by fire. The odor that I smelled and thought was the cleaning, was the plastic around the panel and the elements within the control panel. Called Sears - they offered to send a technician that would cost $89, then of course it would need the parts. Didnt bother finding out what that would cost. Did not buy the extended warranty. Who would have thought that the first time you self-cleaned an oven it would catch something on fire!!! Very unsatisfied. We are going to attempt to fix it ourselves but we do not intend to ever purchase Kenmore again. Loved my KitchenAid that I had for years and only got rid of it because it was black and I wanted to change to white. Needless to say, we are angry. Also said they could not find where there was a recall on the range. Gave me another to call which I will do. Now to hope for a recall which I feel is necessary!!! I have pictures but for some reason says file type not accepted???

It washed my really dirty dishes to make them spotless with no water spots. Made absolutely no sound whatever. Was very quiet. Didnt shake at all. The dishwashers size was very big. It held many of my dishes. I always had room. Very nice. A few words to describe it was spacious and big. The washers appearance was very nice and sleek with a professional shine to add to it. I personally loved the way it looked same with any other of this brands dishwashers. The value was really great of the dishwasher because the price was in my price range and I had no problem with the cost because it was a very fair price I loved.

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

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

Ditto Angie of Milton, Other on Aug. 4, 2014. This is the second time our glass shattered. Purchased the oven in 2010 (new home). First glass shattered Dec 2012. Glass replaced by A&E certified tech. August 2014 - second event of glass shattering. Waiting to hear from Sears.

My washer has been very durable and washes both small and large loads. I have had it for 6 years and never have had to service it. Clothes always come out clean and smelling great. Its very reliable. My washer is a plain white and average looking but does the job like any washer that costs twice as much. Its one of the best washers Ive ever owned over the past 30 years. The cost of my washer is very affordable compared to washers in the same price range. I rely on it to keep my clothes very clean and bright at a very reasonable price.

This Kenmore fridge ended up fitting just right to my apartment which fights for space. I was recommended to it by my parents who had a good experience. It did meet my price range based on other brands and the large freezer was a good selling point. I like the ice maker and ease of filtered water. The shelves on the door had great storage options for smalls jars that could not fit anywhere else and the size of the drawers and shelf height were good as well. However, the width of the fridge was awkward, but Im sure there are many odd-sized spaces in different homes. And I didnt like the design of the outside of the fridge. It was ugly and didnt have good color options. Nonetheless, I would buy again.

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

We have had this for 4 years with no issues. Yesterday we had not used the microwave in several hours. Then my husband heard a pop in the kitchen. When we went out there the entire glass was shattered. There were small shards of glass on the stove and the floor. I have never heard of this happening. I googled it. That’s when I learned this happens if there is a defect in the glass. Thank goodness no one was in the kitchen or using the microwave at the time. A new microwave will cost less than the door will cost to replace. Go figure.

This is third Kenmore oven electric s/c. First one went into self-clean on its own, nearly burned the house down and completely charred the whole oven. Second one had two major board failures, resulting in the third. This one may or may not respond to control inputs. No more Sears stuff, ever.

This product would be a good case for having negative numbers in the rating system. We are in the position of having to replace a perfectly functional and expensive microwave / convection oven because the company chose to make a poor quality vent and light button that cannot be replaced for less than $300. These buttons fall through the panel and have no way of being fixed unless you pay an exorbitant repair.

This Kenmore washer is very energy efficient and does a great job cleaning my laundry. This is a good product and it has been nothing but reliable. I have had it for a few years and have never had to replace or have any repairs done. Mines white because all my other appliances are and its easier to keep everything matching. It is also worth every penny. I did some comparison before purchasing and believe this was the best quality product in our price range and am extremely satisfied with the purchase. I would definitely recommend this product.

We splurged and purchased the Kenmore Elite Double Oven Model #79098023800 in 2009. It has worked fine and I have done self-cleaning on it several times over the past 3 1/2 years. However, since the last cleaning, the oven racks dont fit anymore and fall out of their grooves and this causes me great concern. I first thought it might be the racks that were the problem. I have an extra rack that came with the oven which I have not used in it since we bought it. When I tried that one, it too was too small and didnt sit safely within the grooves of the oven walls. I measured and compared it to the other rack and they were the same. Once I looked online, it appears that Im not the only one with this issue and it seems the oven walls have bowed out slightly and have created this problem. Having contacted Sears, they said they can send a tech out (at the cost of $75) to evaluate what my problem is and if and how it could be fixed. She said their system doesnt show that there is such a problem with their oven (or at least my model) and that quite often people blog about it but dont officially complain to the right department so they dont recognize the issue/hazard/problem. This is very concerning. I have three children in the house. I love to cook and bake, and Im now worried about the safety of my family and home. I have lived in a lot of houses over the past 30 years and have cooked/baked on up-teen amounts of ovens. Never and I mean never, have I seen this kind of problem. I find it hard to believe that Sears isnt aware that there is a manufacturing issue on some of their ovens! Shame, Sears, shame. You have officially lost a very dedicated consumer! And yes, Im going to complain to the right department. For anyone else who has this issue, please call Sears at 1 800 638 2772 and let them know so they cant claim that they have nothing in their systems regarding this issue!

3 days ago, March 29, 2013, I was using my range to cook bacon. I had it set at 375 degrees and had just checked the bacon and determined it had another 7-10 minutes to cook. I left the room for a few minutes, and after about 5 minutes, I could hear a beeping. My husband asked me if I wanted him to shut off the timer, but I said, I didnt set the timer. The stove kept beeping non-stop, so I returned directly to the kitchen only to see “F10 - ERR” on the touch screen. I opened the oven and smoke poured out. I quickly closed the door and my husband ran downstairs to shut the breaker because nothing I could do would stop the beeping. With the stove shut off at the breaker, I opened it and took out my burned bacon; and the room was filled with smoke. After doing some research online, it appears that the error means that the heat is considered to be runaway and at a dangerous level! Are you kidding me? I would like to know how long Sears has known about this issue, and why they have not informed people about this problem. What if I had a roast in the oven and had gone outdoors to do some work? This will be the 6th issue I have had with this range. So far, the brain was fixed once then replaced; the triple burner had to be replaced as did the whole glass top. The last item was the door as it warped and stained during a regular cleaning. I do not trust this range anymore and want it replaced. It is a lemon! It is unsafe and at this point, I am afraid to even turn the breaker on. Sears needs to step up to the plate and stand behind a very expensive range. This range broke down within 3 weeks of delivery to me and then again a few months later. It has been nothing but one thing after the other and I am done with allowing it to be repaired. It is a fire hazard! God forbid my new home would burn down due to Sears not replacing this lemon they have sold to me. It is time to replace it or give me my money back. I will never buy a Kenmore product again! Ever!

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

Kenmore 3.6 cu. ft. HE Top-Load Washer Item# 26-26002 - I purchased this washer along with a whole new kitchen remodel June 2013. The computer on the washer is not working and has to be replaced and it is August 2014. I took out a 30 year old Maytag that was still working fine (never once repaired) and now a little over a year later I am hit with a bill that is close to what I could go buy a cheap washer with. I have gotten no satisfaction from the company. They say I have to have an order number so they can make sure that was purchased when I said. Well they found it when I called about the cracked glass top on the stove I got at the same time... which has been replaced twice already. These items should come with a longer warranty or they should at least back their products longer. Will never purchase or recommend Kenmore again.

Kenmore appliances used to be reliable but have gone down so much that my husband as a builder, after using them for over 15+ years finally had to recently switch brand/distributors. Where to begin?! Less than one month after installation the refrigerator ice maker broke. Fixed it and it broke again. Now we just buy ice. We are so sick of dealing with appts etc. Its loud and seems to always be making all kinds of crazy noises. Our double oven also new - from the get go convection fan wasnt and still isnt working properly even after being “fixed”. Top element rattles loud even though screwed in tight, service tells us its because the inside is made so cheap they all rattle even if tightened - nothing they can do about it. So every time we cook we have to listen to a loud rattle. Every day I am reminded how much I despise Sears and Kenmore appliances for the garbage they sold us, wasted our money, and didnt stand behind. Our flat top stove is the only thing I love.

My parents bought Kenmore fridges and I continue this practice because they recommended this brand. I had purchased two other refrigerators and liked Kenmore better. I really did like the size and the design of the fridge. I liked the versatile way you could arrange shelving the way you liked. Easy to store products and has lots of storage space in doors too. You could put beverages in the door if you chose to or put them on shelves. I like arranging the placement of products in fridge myself. I also liked temperature control in the very front of fridge as well as the placement of the butter dish and a designated space for my eggs. I liked the ice maker, glass shelves, crisper and frost-free freezer. It had air holes and I could manage the door handles. I also liked the color and that it was well lit and insulated. Added water purifier made plenty of ice. It kept food cold and did not sweat. There were no coils exposed on the back making it easy to clean. However, fridge was a disappointment. The top crisper broke many times and had to repeatedly replace it. The door holders kept breaking and the bottom ledge cracked too. The material it was made is not strong and parts were expensive. The plastic used inside the refrigerator was a wrong choice. There was also a pattern on door handles that grabbed dirt. You had to constantly clean the handles. I would like wheels on fridge so I could easily clean behind and under it.

Just purchased a gas convection style freestanding oven Model# 790-74239311. After first week light bulb in oven burnt out. Finally replaced last week and it just burnt out again. What gives? I have been very satisfied with the baking performance, but cant bake in a dark oven!!!

We bought a Kenmore electric range/oven, model number 790.90152304. We used the oven maybe five times. The sixth time we tried to use it, it essentially got stuck in uncontrolled preheat. When turned on, the oven will go into preheat mode. Once the preheat temperature is reached, the preheat light goes off, but the upper element stays on. The upper element will not go off until the oven controls sense that something is wrong. By that time, the oven is extremely hot, and eventually shuts itself off with an F1 error. If anything is on the upper rack of the oven, it will start on fire due to the intense heat. Since the time of the first incident, the oven has not functioned normally.The internet is littered with complaints about this same Kenmore model. So, I can see that I am not the first customer to encounter this problem. The point is, there is a design problem with these ovens. Upon calling the Sears service number, I was advised of several plans. They told me I would have to pay a Sears tech to come and fix the oven. Needless to say, I bristled at the thought of paying to have something fixed that has a serious design flaw. This comes very close to saying that Kenmore put the design problem in so that they could fix and make a little extra money. As far as I am concerned, Sears/Kenmore should recall these ovens.

Whenever I bake something in the oven about 1/2 hour into the cooking process, the screen lights up with F10 and the oven beeps. The only way to stop the beeping is to turn the oven off. When I turn it on again, it beeps 10 minutes later. It is impossible to cook anything, very frustrating and not normal. The stove is approximately 5 years old.

My Kenmore range was purchased in 2010 and since then, the outside glass on the oven has blown out twice, once when the oven had not even been used. The most recent incident was Nov. 15, 2014. The oven made a loud popping noise then glass shot out everywhere. The model is 790-92803010. Sears was no help and refused to view this as a safety issue when this happened the first time in June of 2012, so I contacted the Better Business Bureau and was eventually reimbursed for the cost of new glass on the oven. How could this possibly happen again? I dont see a recall on this oven and suspect there is something wrong with the seal on the door. Thanksgiving is in less than two weeks and I have to cook for 15 people!! I am disgusted with the service and this product. Furthermore, the ice make is not working on my Kenmore Elite refrigerator.

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

Kenmore Elite 75339 - After about 3 weeks of using this range we realized that it was leaking gas. Had a service consultant from the gas company come out to sniff for leaks and he informed us it was leaking from the regulator and 2 of the burners. He told us this was the 4th or 5th Oven he had seen leaking like ours. We called Sears to have the oven exchanged and they setup another delivery for a few days later. After waiting about an hour or so after their so called scheduled delivery was suppose to be I called to find out where they were. The delivery consultant informed us that the new oven they were suppose to deliver was also damaged and that they needed to reschedule another delivery. Sears couldnt even be bothered to call and let us know. At this point we are just trying to get a refund. Enough is enough. Trying to navigate Sears customer service seems to be a battle all on its own. Its no wonder with customer service this terrible why the company is such a bad financial situation. Save yourself A LOT of hassle and buy something other than this range and save yourself even more hassle by shopping somewhere other than Sears.

I spent two hours trying to talk with someone that would help me find out if there is a recall on my range. The outside glass of my oven shattered in the middle of the night. Luckily no one was near the range. I had glass everywhere. I did notice on this site that there was a similar case on Aug 2, 2016, so I wanted to talk with someone to investigate this problem. After spending much time trying to talk to a real person then finally talking with a person that wanted to send a technician to diagnose what my range needed and the cost to have a technician come to my home would start at $89.00, I gave up and just ordered the glass. I am very worried that this has happened more than two times and someone could seriously get hurt.

Model 790.7323 - Last year, after the Kenmore stove that had been in the condo since 1982 had a meltdown and I went and replaced it. I do not cook. Use the microwave or toaster oven. I recently gave the toaster oven away to clear up counter space. Decided to heat up some Publix side dressing. Tried it again around Thanksgiving and it was dead. I got the oven in April 2014, and believe it or not, I am not I do not cook. It is just two aging dogs and me. I work, so it is usually a microwave meal. It still looks showroom new. I called Sears, and they will do nothing. They want to send me an outrageous warranty for a year, which will cost more than the stove and send out a tech at 60 a pop until they fix it. One time and it quit working! I think they should take the stove back and replace it! I was not even cooking -- just reheating! Sears used to mean Quality! Go elsewhere next time. I will never ever step in a Sears Store!!!

I was turning on the simmer select burner, and heard a gun shot like noise coming from range. It was terrifying and boiling water from the other burner splashed on my hand. Everything went dead on the stove. It tripped the circuit breaker. I called customer service and product recalls 5 times and kept getting transferred. No one seemed to care, other than to tell me our stove is not subject to recall. I consider this not only a waste of money, but a safety issue.

Purchased Elite Gas Range in 2011. Serviced twice after self-clean caused oven control board to fail. I noticed I am not alone. This is not cheap to fix. If you are buying Kenmore, check the service history! Sad to say I will no longer be buying Kenmore appliances. Now a 3000.00 oven!

Ive had this microwave since October 2005. Its never been serviced. It is digital and very modern and sleek looking above the range by the same maker. The displays make it very user friendly. The options for different types of food prep are many. I just cant say enough good things about it.

I just bought a coop two months that had been renovated and the kitchen has Kenmore appliances. Dishwasher and refrigerator seem fine, but the gas range (model number 790.7050 or 7060) runs super-hot. I first noticed that the French fries cooking at 450 degrees really came out as crispy critters, so I turned the oven down about 50 degrees and its better. The real problem is that the oven is so hot that I have to run both the vent on high and a fan in order to cook something on the stove top at the same time. Ive never had this problem with any other gas range Ive had (Im 62) so its really puzzling. Now that Ive read the other comments about the ovens, I will be super careful and am considering just getting another gas range. I think this is the way this thing is designed. Even at the lower oven heat, the temperature in the kitchen is unbearable. This is from someone who hardly uses air conditioning in the summer. Anyone else have this experience?

We purchased a new Kenmore electric range. Within 4 years, the oven box had expanded from the oven heat so that the oven racks no longer fit but fall out of the grooves. When I contacted Sears, they refused to accept responsibility but said they could supply racks that fit at $106.00 + tax and shipping each. I ordered the racks, but they are the same size as the original and Sears said that they cannot help me. I am not alone. Many other consumers have had this same experience. This should never happen. Sears should recall these stoves due to the safety factor alone or at the least, provide wider racks even if we must pay for them to address the problem. I will never purchase another Sears appliance.

I like the size of the refrigerator and the separation (difference) of the refrigerator and freezer. The water pump (inside) is convenient, easy to use and keeps mistakes (overflowing water, accidental presses, etc.) to a minimum and off the kitchen tile. I love the size of the refrigerator and all of its compartments, but I do sometimes wish that the freezer had a little more space. (We do have a second fridge/freezer in our basement for holidays and alcohol.) The refrigerator looks very nice in our kitchen. It flows and does not look too clunky. (The black model) Matches our countertops and accents the oven as well. I would recommend the Kenmore Refrigerator and have to friends and family. Although a little pricier, we feel the value was well worth the reward.

In 2002, we had a new home built and purchased all new Kenmore Appliances. That was a huge mistake. The range almost burned our home down. When the oven got stuck on high and wont shut off, I had to throw the breaker as the oven was too hot to touch. That was a couple of years ago. Sears wouldnt do anything for me. Lets see the Kenmore dishwasher as it had two motors and three thermal fuses replaced. The microwave door is cracking all the way up the handle for no reason. The fridge drawers have broken twice. No wonder Sears is just about out of business.

I really liked its price and its finishes that looked good material and high quality. It was a bargain and a good value for my money that I could invest. It is a very reliable refrigerator, small but does its functions well that are to cool and freeze my products. To be a mid-range brand it worked well for me. The fact that its doors are small is what displeases me about the model. I would have liked some doors more in line with my needs that would occupy more space for the products.

The best brand out there. Reliable and trusted. It washes dishes clean even the most dirty quietly and efficiently. Its a brand you can trust. Has been for years. The way the racks are arranged lets me clean more dishes and get them cleaner in one wash than other brands. More efficient means less power used and less time in the kitchen. Looks nice. Matches my kitchen. Looks clean and fits right in with my fridge. Easy to clean off the surface area too. With all the small grandkids running and getting into it, its a big plus to have a easy clean surface. Worth every red cent. The product you buy is better and lasts longer. The dishwasher will continue to give you your moneys worth well beyond when other brands fall apart. Very reasonable for a well-made machine.

Its a durable dishwasher and cleans dishes very good. No oils and dirts and cleans germs. It looks very nice in the outside and is proven that its a good quality product. The size of the dishwasher is just perfect, not too big and not too small. All the dishes fits good and have some places for the little utensils and other stuffs you need to put in it. The dishwashers appearance is very unique and really nice to look at. I can say it is very eye catching and looks really sturdy. It is indeed a good quality product. The dishwashers value is perfect for anyone. It is very affordable and with the great value, it gives you work that not all dishwashers can do. I will recommend this product as it is proven and tested.

This stove/oven was actually purchased by my mother. She loved Kenmore products. The item in my opinion is okay and I have no problems with its performance. Its just not the appliance I myself would have purchased.

First electric stove top and while it did take some adjusting from cooking on a gas range, I am happy I chose my 6 burner Kenmore stove/oven. The Turbo boil and warm zone are a huge plus. Really one one place for a large pan, which is upfront so that is good. This is for a smaller to medium kitchen in my opinion.

Very cold and insulated well. I have this unit outdoors and it stays cold. I also like the rack height. The frost free feature is important to me and provides easy maintenance. You can fit a lot in this unit. The space is better than the chest freezer I replaced. I like how every area keeps the same temperature as well. Very nice unit. The outside is white which matches my other outdoor appliances. The style is also plain and easy to clean. I wanted something simple in design and not hard to keep up. This unit fits that need. For the price I was very happy. It blew me away compared to something I was looking at from Costco. I knew what I wanted and this fit that expectation but at first avoided it because I thought it might have been out of my price range.

I purchased a Kenmore Elite Double Oven 790.4812 in 11/2009. After a few years we had to replace the motherboard for both ovens. This cost almost $500 for a virtually new oven. Now the oven is not keeping the temperature when set so we are probably looking at doing the same thing again - or purchase another oven when this one is only about 5 years old. I do not feel Sears/Kenmore has the same quality as it used to. Kenmore used to be a top quality brand. Not so much anymore. I dont plan to purchase any more Kenmore products.

Love my Kenmore gas range w/ convection oven. It has five burners and the one in the center I can use with a flat grill pan. I bake a lot and the oven works and holds the temp great. The oven has a self-clean cycle that works great.

Purchased 3 appl. LG fridge $2700, LG dishwasher $900 and Kenmore Pro gas stove/elec. OVEN $3212.00 - yes $3212.00! Purchased 4/13. Total purchase with everything was $7285.99! Not even 6 yrs. old yet!!! Just replaced the dishwasher - it just quit working, not fixable, moved the fridge so they could bring in the new dishwasher and now the fridge quit cooling and needs a new compressor! Of course they expired 4/16 and never used them... The service call was $78.50 and even though the compressor is covered under warranty the LABOR will be $450!!! The stove has issues as well and will error and turn off the oven when cooking.... So upset and extremely disappointed in their performance or better word LACK of performance. Just sick over this having to replace again after this COST!!! There must be some recourse for the customer! So I guess it doesnt matter what you pay you will be lucky to get 5 yrs. out of your appliances.

Nice range and stove top, but the electronic controller failed, and replacing a couple of circuit boards cost two thirds of the cost of a new range.

Ive had this refrigerator for just over a year and the motor in the defrost went out, ice maker was not working correctly. Had to have Sears in 4 times to get it fixed. Once to diagnose the defrost motor not working. Second to put in the defrost motor and put in a rebuilt ice maker which did not work. The last time the tech put in a new ice maker and it is finally working fine. This refrigerator was manufactured by Frigidaire which is usually a very reliable brand. They are make appliances to be throw away just like other products. Sears service can be a problem getting someone in to service appliances. I finally had a couple of good tech who took care of refrigerator, dishwasher and stove. I will never buy another Sears product again.

Kenmore Model 790.92202014 Oven Control Meltdown - I bought this range in early 2011 as an upgrade to my old Whirlpool range. Just shortly after it went out of warranty, the oven control unit failed. I called a repairman and a new one was ordered and replaced by him. Less than a year later, the unit failed again, so I sent the defective unit back to the provider and they sent me a replacement. This lasted less than a year again until 3-2013, only this time it blew the breaker (it never had done that before). Upon removing the back cover, I was horrified to find the oven plug that plugs into the control unit melted! I only can say Im glad it didnt start a fire. Im writing this complaint to warn people of a possible fire hazard. Im junking this range.

I purchased a Kenmore Convection Range model 790.97453801 on 2/7/2009 for $1,000. Today, it takes 45 minutes for it to preheat to 350 degrees. We did not buy the extended warranty. I called Sears to schedule a repair and was told it costs $129 for a service call plus parts or I could purchase a 1-year warranty for $239 which would cover repairs and parts for 1 year and $500 towards a replacement in the case that it cant be repaired. The oven is less than 2 1/2 years old. :( This is the last Sears purchase we will make.

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

We have been pleased with our refrigerators performance – it has been reliable and efficient. We have plenty of room in the fridge and freezer and we like that we can rearrange the shelves if needed. We are able to fit everything we need in the fridge. There is a lot of usable space on the door too. We like the overall appearance of our refrigerator – the stainless steel finish matches our other appliances and makes the kitchen look nicer and less dated than it did. Large appliances are expensive but, in this case, we felt like it was a good investment because its a brand that we trust and have had good experience with in the past.

The Kenmore stove/range works okay. Not as good as their washer/dryers though. One burner on the stove has not worked properly from day one. Also the glass top burners take longer to heat up. I guess that is because it is energy efficient.

I have had the Kenmore range 7909622240B more than a couple years and this is the first time this has happened to me. I have a 254 pound ham on the rack one slot lower than the middle. I was pulling the rack out to drizzle sauce on it and halfway out the rack fell out of the slot, luckily the ham was not on a higher slot or it would have dumped over. I did however get splattered with melted brown sugar and hit my hand against the side of the oven trying to get out of the way of the falling ham. The brown sugar and grease spilled onto the bottom of the oven smoked and burned! What a mess!

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

I have not been able to speak to anyone. I have sent an e mail. My five year old oven/range sent a huge spark out of the circuit board when I turned on the burner with the slow cooker. All inoperable now, no oven or burners. As I live alone, this was hardly used, as a family would use the oven.

I got a ceramic oven one month ago and now I have a big problem. There is a short circuit with the control and a bad smell like burned plastic. I called service but unfortunately, they gave me service time after seven days and their engineer does not reply at all on his mobile. Really, you have a good product but if the distributor will continue like that, you will lose Saudi market. I like Kenmore products but I dont like the distributor. Please help me. Thanks in advance.

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

Its great. I would recommended it. Since I have had it, it has worked very well and has not let me down... not once. I have not had to get it fixed or anything and works as good as when first got it. Have no complaints and is good value for money. Doesnt spin loud like a lot of other washer and dryers. It just looks like any other average washer or dryer. It doesnt look horrible and comes with a wide range of choices such as colors, etc. Its not the cheapest brand but you get what you pay for. I would rather pay more and get a machine that I know works very well and is reliable.

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

Kenmore Electric Range Model 790.9742 - Purchased in April 2010. The racks are no longer and it collapsed during the cooking process due to the oven liner warping and bowing out. Repairman says it is unrepairable and there are no racks available to fix this problem. Sears tells me this is an isolated problem and they have never heard of this problem before. Really?! Its all over the internet on not only Kenmore, but LG, Jenn-Air, Whirlpool, and other brands made for Sears. All Sears will do is give me a 20% discount off a new stove because I did not buy the extended warranty. I sincerely doubt the extended warranty would have covered an oven liner since it is not a replaceable part. It is part of the oven, according to the repairman. I was nearly burned when I pulled out a casserole to check on it. Dutch oven also fell after a few hours while it was cooking in the oven. Luckily, the door stayed closed and the Dutch oven fell straight down. It could have caused a major grease fire. Sears refuses to admit there is a problem with the steel used in the oven liner. Sears no longer stands behind their products. They say they are sorry. I am disappointed in the longevity of my stove. Well, yes, it is only 2 1/2 years old and this shouldnt be happening. It would have happened sooner had I used the self-cleaning oven feature which I have yet to do and it would have caused additional warping and bowing. I have an oven I paid $1000 for and is unusable because I, more than likely, will get burned or a fire will happen due to these racks no longer fitting.

My Kenmore elite has been a godsend, with back issues, I was left with only being able to use the burners on my other stoves in the past, but with my double upper oven/lower convection oven, I have a choice of which to choose. I love the easy self-cleaning, push button cooking timer and delay functions along with the 5 different size burners, (it also came with a griddle) the middle burner is oval shape. The child safety locking and cool-touch doors are extra importantfunctions just to name a few. I havent had any problems with the oven or functions in the 2 years Ive had my oven. Kenmore has been a solid reliable brand for many years. I love my oven!

Thoroughly washed clothes without trouble. Never had a problem with it, continues to run after multiple years of use. Quiet as well, easy to use. I have had this washer for many years and see myself using it for many more to come. Would recommend to friends. Ive never had nor will I ever have a better washing machine. The appearance is sleek, innovative, and modern. It goes well with the interior of my home as well as the dryer that I own. I couldnt ask for a dryer that looks any different. The value is what you pay for, and in this case its well worth the price. It falls into a good range and is inexpensive compared to other washers.

My Kenmore oven has given me nothing but very good results. I use the oven several times a week using it for various items from fresh to frozen entrées. Package instructions work exceedingly well.

The stovetop grids are so easy to clean, you can lift them completely off and polish the stove surface. Nice variety burners and center for grill, easy to make multiple pancakes at once. Oven is large and easy to clean, racks remove easily.

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

I believe after viewing so many refrigerators and going to different places to check out, we were impressed with the Kenmore Refrigerator brand. I also checked out other brands and reviews but the Kenmore refrigerator by far was equipped better and the price was in the range we were going to spend. Their refrigerators also had good reviews and we liked the look. The Kenmore Refrigerator stuck out as the one we wanted to purchase. The features were great. It was set up easy to clean and it has a great icemaker.

It was the better of the dishwashers I have owned. It was not needful to even rinse the dishes well, only scrape them good. I wish I had bought the same model again when it wore out and needed replaced. I was married with four children. We almost always could get all the dishes and pans into the dishwasher and then some. I was always very happy about this as I hate washing any dishes by hand. Im not one to really care about the way an appliance looks most of the time, but I did like this one especially as it matched my stove and refrigerator. They were Kenmore also :) It was a very good value as it did the job very well and lasted many years even through such a large family and much mistreatment by so many children trying to do their chores.

Redid our kitchen summer 2009. Bought all new Kenmore elite appliances. The oven did not work from the onset. Would not hold temperature. 3 repair calls later over a 6 month period seemed to fix it. The door water dispenser stopped working and while a repair man was looking at it, ended up pulling out a wire inside the door - then proceeded to tell us we needed a whole new door at $600! No way are we spending $600 for the convenience of a water dispenser after HE pulled out the wire that stopped it from working. Cant wait till we can trash these appliances and get a name brand that works. Hope sears goes out of business. Such an awful retailer. Never again.

Economical, enjoyable, and convenient. The Kenmore had the features that I wanted within my price range. This is why I initially made the decision to purchase the particular model. In terms of the brand, it is known for quality and this is why I was comfortable choosing one of their products and it has met expectations. I like the styling of the refrigerator. It fits in well in the kitchen and looks good while being functional and doing its job of keeping the familys food fresh and cold. I also like the water and ice dispenser because it makes it easy and convenient to get filtered water and I dont have to worry about keeping ice cube trays full. However, sometimes ice forms on the bottom and makes a mess in the kitchen. We havent figured out exactly why, so I wish they fix this issue and make it so that it doesnt leak water inside and cause this issue.

We purchased our new Kenmore Elite stove and had it delivered in November 2010 for our new home. By December 2011, we had to get the control panel for the stove fixed. A few months later, we had to call them again to fix the same problem. At both times, it was under warranty as we had purchased extended warranty. By October 2014, I was baking chicken in the oven at 350. I took the chicken out of the oven, closed the oven door, reached for a fork to turn the chicken and the oven suddenly just exploded. There was shattered glass everywhere popping on the floor like popcorn. The experience was extremely frightening and thank God there were no small children or pets around at the time. After the initial shock, we contacted Sears and only received apologies. We were fluffed off as it was no longer under warranty. We have not purchased a new one as yet but would never buy another Kenmore product again. We have shared this experience with our family and friends who are equally as shocked!

I was a little skeptical at first because of the model of the fridge. However as I later found out, the fridge fit more than I expected, worked better, and saved my family money. Its durable, long lasting, and has more than enough space to fit anything in your freezer, fridge or what have you. Its sleek, interesting and reminded me of a futuristic type of refrigerator which indicates to me that the future of fridges is bright. Though I thought this product would be way out of my price range but with the help of a salesman, this turned out to be an incredibly easy to pay for product. I would honestly recommend this fridge to anybody.

I purchased this range about six months ago, because I had an earlier model and loved it. Not so much this time. The oven bakes/roasts very unevenly, unless I use the convection feature. Recently, we found out the stovetop burner knobs are rendered useless VERY easily and VERY expensive to replace. There is a thin sheath inside the knob that fits over the shaft that controls the burner heat. This sheath often stays on the shaft when the knob is removed for cleaning. The first time it happened was by our cleaning lady, and she didnt notice that the knob was loose when she replaced it. We later figured out that the sheath had come out of the knob and just got lost. Now I am finding the sheath often stays on the shaft when I remove the knob and has to be replaced in the knob. It is very, very thin. We had to order a replacement knob and it cost $40!! $30 for the knob and $10 to ship. Not happy at all and will not recommend this product. Sad, because I have always had Kenmore appliances. No more.

Purchased Kenmore Electric Range Model 79094182310 Nov. 2017. Within 1 yr after using Self-Clean feature which resulted in scorched area to the top of oven door on left side, I called for service. This scorched panel was replaced and I was told not to use self-clean function???! During 2018 I continued using the oven, replaced the bulb and still getting scorched/brown areas on top panel of the oven door even at temps of 425 and above. Called again and tech from Indianapolis came, checked thoroughly, called for research info about this oven, advised that the oven door seems ok but heat exhaust from oven is faulty/insufficiently constructed and there is no repair/solution. This faulty electric range should be recalled and replaced.

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

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

I turned my oven on to warm up leftovers. 20 minutes later, after I have taken the food out and turned the oven off, I smelled burning odor. My oven burners were red hot and I could not turn it off. My husband had to cut it off by throwing the breaker. Had I walked out after turning the oven off thinking it was off, my house would have burned down. This has happened so much. After reading all the incidents online, I’m afraid to buy another Kenmore. Several models are being recalled for some reason. Mine is not.

Oven exceeded expectations. Meat roasts beautifully. Rolls brown to perfection. Cakes and breads bake uniformly. Potatoes tender inside and crispy outside. Vegetables roast well. Oven cleans well. Stove top performs well. Kenmore is a trusted brand. I have a Kenmore microwave oven that’s lasted for four years. I highly recommend Kenmore ovens and microwaves.

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

It’s a microwave with convection built in, I use it more than my oven, convenient and easy from defrost to heating food or baking scrumptious deserts. It’s a great choice to work with, the settings are easy visible. Works like a charm, love it.

This is the 3rd time I had sears out to fix stove. 1st glass blew out (scratched the whole inside 2nd circuit board/ and now again the circuit board. When you use self cleaning more than 3 times blows board. All in all I have been without the use of my stove about eight weeks. When you call for service and you give them error code. They come out (waiting a week or longer) without parts and you have to wait another 2 weeks for them to fix. Just wish they would credit me and let me buy another brand. This stove is only 1 year old. Very unhappy.

I do not recommend anybody buying Kenmore products from Sears. They seem to care if you have problems but all theyre doing is giving you the runaround. They use ARS for their warranty claims and which they are rude and just plain liars... I have taken a day off work as they require a 9 to 5 window for an appointment.After calling Sears three times during that day to say I havent heard from the contractor all three times they (Sears) confirmed yes he is coming. The last time I contacted ARS myself as now Sears is closed. They told me he wasnt coming, so a day off work wasted... This has been going on for 4 weeks now, so my conclusion is I threw the Kenmore range out of my house and purchased a different brand. Take my advice. Do not buy Kenmore products. You will be disappointed if something goes wrong.
