I purchased this top load Kenmore series 700 washer from Sears less than a year ago. I thought purchasing a washer that saved water was environmentally conscious; however, to my surprise I ended up using more water trying to get laundry clean. Not only does this washer not CLEAN your clothes it is not reliable on a day to day basis. I ended up running clothes thru 2 cycles just to get them clean. Water barely covers clothes even on deep fill setting. It often gets becomes unleveled from drum tying clothes in knots and now its not running at all! This is the epitome of inefficiency. I do not recommend this product to anyone. I am usually very easy to please but Kenmore has tarnished its name with this machine. I gave it a one star rating because that was the lowest available but I would have given it 0 stars had that been an option.

I signed up for ConsumerAffairs to be able to ventilate my frustration about this washing machine. There is nothing wrong with the mechanics of this machine. It turns the front loading drum, like it should, adds water, removes water, etc. But the program-cycles it offers make the whole washing affair completely idiotic. All the cycles are way too short for good cleaning. (None takes longer than 1/2 hour.) Also, there is no cycle without a final spin option. I come from Europe where eco machines turn slow and long, in order to enable good soaking and cleaning. I have to add programs cycles in order to get anything clean with this machine. Meanwhile I cannot put off the spin session, so I end up using a lot of energy to get my wash done with this machine (while ruining my clothes with the spinning). My husband ordered this machine after thoroughly reading consumers reports. Makes no sense to me.

Performance is excellent but it takes so long to get any kind of wash done and I dont always have the time to wait. Please come with better technology or shorter cycles. This is a great unit and I would tell anyone it is worth the money in terms of performance but that my only drawback is when it takes forever to get anything done. I think you really need to find someone who has this, do a load for yourself and see what you think about it. Great unit but time waster. Definitely cleans clothes better than most but I come back to the time factor and I think others might look at it also so we need to think about this.

I’ve had this washer machine for about 3 years. While it washes lightly soiled materials well, I do need to wash heavy soiled laundry multiple times. This machine has begun to accumulate a mildew smell. I have yet to identify the source of the smell. In addition, the trays where you pour your detergent, bleach and fabric softener fill with water after the wash. The only tray you can manually empty the access water is the detergent tray, this I feel everything else gets diluted. Overall it is an ok machine.

The washer does a amazing job. It almost spins my clothes dry. It has a lot of different settings that make it so easy to pick the right one. I have had this washer for about 4 years and I have never had any problems with it. I have used the cleaning feature which does a amazing job. I bought the silver one that matches my other appliances. I like the look and style of the washer. It has a very classy look. I enjoy telling and showing my friends and family. It is comparable to other washer similar to this one. I feel like overall it is a great washer.

The products are reliable. They are both 5 years old and I have not had any problems with them. We have a lot of dirty clothes with a family of 3 young boys and the appliances have held up great.

Kenmore Front-loading Automatic Washer Model #796.4127 - We purchased our washer about a yr and a half ago. Hate it on SO many levels. I thought it would be great for bedding and such but NOTHING comes clean. I can wash my husbands work shirts and after they are washed and dried I can still smell his cologne on the shirts. We live on the water and I lost my top loader in a hurricane which caused our basement to flood. I was overjoyed thinking I could finally buy a front loader and that it would be so much better. I wish I could turn back the hands of time and know then what I know now because I would have bought another top loader for sure. You just cant get clothes clean without an agitator! And the SMELL!!! OMG it is HORRIBLE! It has this little drain tube you have to drain every couple of weeks, you cant leave the door closed or the smell is disgusting, but then you worry about the rubber seal drying out. I hate this washer on so many levels it isnt funny. Would NOT recommend it even to my worst enemy. Laundry is enough of a chore without having to wait almost 2 hours to wash a load on the heavy setting but if you dont set it to that, nothing comes clean. Heck even on the heavy setting, it still comes out as stained as it went in. I use a laundry pretreat and that helps a little but if you are thinking of buying this, change your mind and RUN!!!

We have a Kenmore Series 600 Auto Load Sensing High Efficiency (HE) Low water washer which I am really not liking. It doesnt have a bar up the middle to move the clothes around and the water does not cover and soak the clothes. So there are only parts of the clothes that are getting washed. We have to rewash our clothes 3 and 4 different times to get them fully clean. I am NOT A FAN of HE Washers. I like Traditional ones better where the water flows and I can push the clothes down in the water....the middle agitator has always worked well. Why change something that works well all b/c it uses more water? More water, middle agitator bar, less secrecy is what I like.

I bought my Kenmore when my youngest son was born. Hes 12 now, and I just replaced the washer. We have 5 children, so thats a lot of laundry! We only had to have it repaired once in all that time. Many good years of service!

I bought my top-loading Kenmore model 2125 in August of 2012. I always buy a pretty basic washer thinking the less gadgets to go wrong on it, the better. WRONG!! This washer has been a nightmare. It literally started malfunctioning two days after the one-year warranty expired. The problem is the computer. It senses and then goes to wash and then quits. One has to unplug it and re-start it over and over. It takes about 4 hours to do a load of laundry when this happens and it happens all too often. I was sitting next to an appliance repairman at a show and told him about my washer and he said the only good washer made today is the Speed Queen. When my Kenmore finally drives me to put a bullet through it, I will find a place that sells Speed Queens and look into them. Does anyone know anything about this washer?? Has there been a recall on the Model 2125?

This machine has been nothing short of reliable. It has worked for more years than I can remember and has needed minimal maintenance. If it ever broke, I would buy the exact same one again. This washing machine has always worked and has never broken. This machine still looks as good as the day we bought it. It has never done anything that would impact its general appearance. If anything, there is minor wear on the inside. We have gotten more than our moneys worth out of this washer. I would recommend it to my friends.

Horrendous customer service. Installation done incorrectly. Salesman only cared about the sale and made guarantees that did not occur. The washing machine is of good quality but is very difficult to clean as parts that are visibly dirty cannot be reached. Would never go Kenmore again.

It was big, and fit what I would call huge loads. It had a super fast cycle system unlike a lot of others that take for what seems like forever and my clothes came out more clean than with my previous ones. It would fit more than what I needed into it. When I would do a load of laundry it would actually be 2 normal loads, my normal loads. And to my surprise they came out more clean than I would have expected them too. I am in love with them. They arent the newest looking with the clear lid or anything but it definitely gets the job done. Laundry is laundry. As long as the equipment does its job appearance shouldnt matter. Its well worth it in all truthfulness. I would buy it a thousand times over before Id go invest in one of the fancy ones. These are exactly what I needed.

The washer worked great for a very long time. It cleaned our clothes perfectly. After at least 8 years of owning this washer the balance gears finally went out. So, we just recently replaced it. This washer lasted for more than eight years. It was a very reliable and durable washing machine. I would have purchased another just like it if they hadnt passed new HE regulations on washer sales. This washer was your standard Kenmore washer - without all the bells and whistles. It was a smaller bowl but could still easily fit a full sized load without fail. This washer was worth every penny spend to buy it. It lasted well beyond its perceived lifespan and always did a great job cleaning any load big or small.

It fit a lot of clothes. Got everything clean on the first round. Helps fight against stains. Use the quick run cycle and it takes 15 mins to finish a load - great timing in my book for a family thats very busy. A little bulky but not too bad. Had it in a small bathroom in a corner - was not in the way just behind the door.

Washer works well, gets clothes clean, have had no mechanical problems, satisfied with the features available, energy and water efficient, able to purchase at a good price. Would recommend this washer. I have found this washer to be very reliable and have had no repair issues. It gets my clothes very clean and I have had no problems in that regard. The capacity is satisfactory and meets my family of 4 needs in every way. I have been very happy with the modern appearance of this washer. It complements my decor and works well in my laundry room. The visible features are user-friendly and work well. While this was a more expensive washer to start, I have found the water and energy efficiency more than make up for the initial higher cost and I am pleased with the overall savings.

Easy front loading and has a feature where the door stays open a few inches for odor control. Quiet, uses less water and has a lot of cycles to chose from. Easy to add soap and fabric softener to the reservoir.

Kenmore front-loader washer model 41262 - It uses a lot less water than our old washer which dumped in about 5 gallons of water whereas this washer doesnt operate in a pond of water but merely moistens the clothes as it tumbles them. Wash quality is excellent. Its as quiet as a sewing machine almost. Huge front door makes it easy to wash small rugs. Sears had it on sale for about $550 and that felt good. Stainless tub that wont rust my clothes. High speed spin gets things almost dry right there in the washer.

Cleans clothes well and in a short time. Its lasted for some time. I love it. It was a good price and Im glad I purchased it. It has a function for fabric softener and spins great. Although it does not fit my comforter, it fits large loads of clothing and gets them really clean. What a nice-looking washer. Its very clean and white, and shiny. Its modern and fits in my basement. It looks really pretty. I consider this a great purchase and a good value because Ive had it for a while and it works well. It didnt cost much and has a great warranty. It conserves water and uses less detergent.

Dependable and seemed to hold up to anything that I washed in it from a light load of delicate to a large heavy load of winter snow boots and thick quilts. It also came in enough style and color that it would be impossible to say that someone could not find the right one for their home. So I guess that I would have to say that owning one has been a good experience for me.

My Kenmore appliance is so great. It is very reliable and Ive never needed to have a repair done on this appliance. Also, this Kenmore washer is very quiet! It is also very roomy and the appliance itself seems very sturdy. I would recommend a Kenmore Washer to anyone who is looking for an appliance. Also, this Kenmore was bought back in the late 90s and it still works perfectly as long as I clean it properly every few months to keep it going.

I have always had a Kenmore washer. They are very reliable & durable. Service from Sears is also reliable plus trustworthy. Prices are good, compared to Maytag or GE. I prefer Kenmore over all other brands. Kenmore offers top loading, front loading & compact units for smaller spaces. Sears stores are available in many areas, that carry Kenmore products.

The washer would not complete the drain cycle. I read some troubleshooting advice and purchased a new lid locker for $50. It didnt fix the problem. I called Sears and they charge a $99 diagnostic fee to come out then labor and parts. I read reviews of others who had similar issues. Some had to have the same problem fixed multiple times within a year. It could be the motherboard console. To replace this piece is about $250 plus labor plus the diagnostics. I paid $598 for the washer in 2011. I think I might be better off just purchasing a Speed Queen or another washer with a better warranty rather than pour money into something unreliable.

Top-loading High efficiency low-water washer, model #110.2713*410, series 600S. This washer has a deep fill option which you can only use on a few cycles. Machine does not cover clothes enough to clean them even on deep fill. There is no agitator but rather a wash plate which does not move the load well. The manual states it is normal for some items to be above the water line. The truth is most of the items are above the water line and remain that way for the duration of the cycle. For heavier items it is necessary to stop the washer during a cycle and rotate them manually. I would not recommend it.

The machine washed my clothes effectively and in a timely manner. You can wash many loads per day and still have daylight on your side. This washer can wash bedspreads, curtains and a lot of bulky items too, including rugs. Heavy duty and very reliable. It fits perfectly in small spaces. Large but not bulky, shiny white with nice control panel. The machine come in a few other color opinions to choose from. If you have an apartment this work well. It has been a while since I purchased this machine and dont know the exact price. But Im a single mom with two kids so I know for the pair it was under $600.

The washer is great for heavy loads. It performs well with large loads and cleans well with all types of cycles. I especially like the way the washer washes in cold water. It gets all my clothes clean the first time. I have never had a problem with reliability. The washer has never given me any problems. It cleans well, has never broken down and I have never had to replace any parts or call a repairman for any type of service for the machine. I love the features of the machine. It has all the cycles you would need - regular, delicates, heavy loads and the machine does a wonderful job on all cycles. I have never had problems getting my clothes cleaned. The price is well worth it for this washing machine.. I have compared it to whirlpool and Maytag which I have had in the past and it works just as well as whirlpool and Maytag and it cost a lot less.

On 10-28-2011, Sears Kenmore washer was repaired. model # 45087 and serial # cst0410838. The machine now is quieter and runs smoother than ever. We believe the suspension system was defective since it was new, as we had to adjust loads to eliminate the shaking and vibration. We have spent years of working with this washer, and now paid $280.00 to repair. What will Sears do to retain our business?

I have rust in the first three months of the washing machine, within four years I have Rust throughout the damn thing and they will not fix it or replace it. I pay for five year warranty and they still will not replace my washing Machine.

I bought a Kenmore Dryer in July 2014. Within 9 months the Lint trap began to morph and catch clothing/linens thereby ruining many. Recently I looked up this issue on the Internet and discovered it is quite common. I have seen a few customers have received free replacement parts that will easily remedy this problem. Today l spent 2.5 hours on the phone asking for help to no avail. Every person I spoke with, there were 8: were professional, kind and understanding. I cannot boast more about the excellent level of wonderful your employees exhibit.My plea is: Could LG please take a look at my machine and include its model number into the small group flashed about this problem? I am hoping LG will agree to send the replacement part(s) to me without charge, as occurred with others in late 2014. My only mistake was not being computer savvy enough to find this site sooner at the best possible time. Because I need to use zipper mesh bags to prevent rips - my clothes are continuously wrinkled after drying. I am asking for mercy and help to remedy this issue, which is quite small in the whole scope of the vastness and excellence of LG. Thank You for your consideration. I look forward to your response.

Ive had the Kenmore Elite Oasis Washer for about 5 years. Thought it was a great washer until after 2 years when I kept getting the F1 error code. Had that serviced and did fine for a while, now getting the LD error code (doesnt drain & spin). I have to unplug it and hit POWER... DRAIN & SPIN... START just about every load of wash. Getting serviced tomorrow. Unfortunately extended warranty wasnt purchased.

It cleans pass expectation, timing is good and no problems -I truly dont have any other comments to make concerning this washer, except that it works and Im glad I made a purchase for this machine, with so many other choices I could have made, glad I chose this one.

Ive had my Kenmore washing and drying machine for more than 9 years and has worked wonders. Washes and dries my clothes very well. Leaves a clean scent. Nothing has broken down yet. Makes no noise, quite silent when in use. Very content with both.

My washer makes a noise. It’s been repaired 2 times. I now need to buy new one. Mine is only 2 yrs old. I paid 1000.00 for it from Aarons. Do not buy from a rent to own company. I’m very upset I’m on a fixed income at that.

We purchased model #28002011 Kenmore washer in 9/2011. Were 2 older people (no pets) requiring 3-5 lite loads of laundry a week. In the last year or more, the washer would add time while in a cycle. For instance, it would count down to say 2 minutes remaining, then adjust the time to say 8 minutes. When youre trying to perform other tasks this could be madding enough. Now after the wash cycle it would just click never performing the rinse or spin cycles. The serviceman informed us the washers motor & transmission must be replaced at a estimated minimum parts cost of $250 plus labor. This was the worst major appliance purchase we have ever made. I dont believe trips to the laundromat would have been as costly & only less inconvenient in winter. Im all done purchasing Sears products.

Satisfied. My clothes are clean and well dried after washing it. Less work. It can load heavy duty - the blankets, sheets, pillow cases. This brand is not expensive but really works well.

You could probably get your clothes cleaner by taking to the creek to wash them. It is the worst machine. Cant even clean handkerchief with bleach and Tide. Take it out still stuck together. Someone told the corporate morons this cleans better hardly uses any water. I have been watching the cleaning action. Terrible. I will keep this for a year then will buy another brand. Dryer isnt much better. Take new pants off hanger put in to try to get creases out and when it is done you have to iron because it came out so wrinkled like you slept in them. Terrible product.

Its amaze balls - its fast which is great because you cant beat a fast washing/drying system when youre on a hectic schedule like most moms with multiple kids! I am able to wash big comforters that is previously have to use our local laundromat for. I can fit everyones jeans & towel in 1 load and not worry about breaking the machine. Its just so sleek & modern. I love it - versus the old clunky models of the past. Its definitely appealing to the eye & my friends & famous lay comment on it regularly. Well worth the money. I couldnt have gotten a better deal. It does what I need it to & then done. Its worth it - they should have more sales though in the store with pairs.

My husband and grandson both work in construction and have very dirty clothes. This machine does not get stains out. I need to always pre-wash and do extra rinse. This is not energy or water saving! I have allergies and use the free & clear types of HE detergent, but still need to do an extra rinse. We also have mildew problems even though I follow the directions for cleaning the machine. I want my old one back!

Older style top loader with agitator seems to hold up much longer and gets the job done well. Knowing clothes are clean the first time is more important than a high-efficiency machine that might not use enough water to actually get clothes clean without a second time. Smaller than most washers probably, but still able to get a large load of clothing or towels completely clean without seeming like it takes extra loads to get all the work done. Plain white with nothing too fancy or extra about it. Very simple and easy to operate, straightforward in appearance. Has knobs for everything, nothing with a touch button. Bought this almost 7.5 years ago for a great deal and have yet to have any problems with this machine. Cleaning the inside and flushing out the fabric softener dispenser is about all the maintenance thats been needed.

Washer does not rinse clothes completely. Takes 2 cycles to get the clothes completely rinsed and the soap out. Have adjusted the amount of soap used with the same results. Very disappointed with the Kenmore line.

Its a good washer that weve had for a couple years. It can handle big loads and gets everything nice and clean without any trouble at all. Very reliable washer. It has never been broken and never stopped working. It runs like its new and is very clean. I love it so much. I like the appearance of my washer. You can tell its newer and more modern by having the door in the front instead of loading it from the top of the washer. I think it was a good value. I cant remember exactly how much we spent on it but I know that we got it on sale for a decent price a couple of years ago.

Sears Kenmore model 110.28002011. Same problem as the recall that occurred on 12/18/2012. Recall number: 13-073. Same violent shaking. This is the exact same circumstances that occurred during the recall as report in recall #13-073. Washer purchased new in Jan 2013. I will never buy another appliance from Sears, not to buy and will tell friends and family and social media. Sears do not stand behind the product that they are selling... I will never buy another Kenmore not because of the problem but because of the lack of support behind the product. With all the complaints they received, neither Sears nor Kenmore stepped up to resolve this issue.

Elite - Difficult to retrieve clothes from the bottom of the washer. I had to build a special platform for my wife to retrieve the clothes from the washer! The units were very expensive, but I would like to assume this would infer a level of quality. They seem to work well, although somewhat odd from what we were used to before.

My Kenmore washer washes large loads as good as it does small and is very dependable. It handles anything you test it with. This washing washing machine has lasted a very long time. It performs as well as washing machines costing much more. The warranty on this machine is fantastic but will probably never be needed. My machine is neat and sleek and fit wherever you want to put it. The controls are easy to read and understand. I love the top loading design. Great for convenience. In comparison to other washing machines of its generation, its value is superb because it is so well built and possibly the last machine you will need to buy.

My Kenmore has ran flawlessly for 10 years. Washes clothes clean each and every time. Little or no noises, or rocking. Has multiple setting for all types of clothes, including easy and delicate clothes.

Sufficient but not the best washer Ive ever had. Could have been better.

Bought a new Kenmore washer in 2014. From the time we bought it it was throwing out a cafe F51 didn’t know what it was ( yes ignorance on my part) however if you turned it off and then back on it worked fine. Now it has stopped working completely! I call customer service and ask if it was under recall after telling the lady my name and address five different times. She said no. I ask to speak with her manager and she said she didn’t have one. Wow. I am talking to the owner of the company! So I said I would like to speak to a supervisor and reluctantly she placed me on hold and when the supervisor got on the phone she also stated that the washer was not under any recall. I ask her how she would know that without knowing what the serial number and model numbers were and quickly she ask for them. Put me on a brief hold and wouldn’t you know it same answer! No recall. However it has been giving this code since we bought it. Their solution to the problem is that I pay $99 for someone to come out in a week and see if it is under recall and if not then I can pay to have a washer fixed that was broke when we bought it. Gotta love them! I am not a happy customer!

Worked great. Lasted years but I had to leave it when I moved states away. To me Kenmore is the best in the market, exceptional in performance. Top of the washers. There are only two of us in our household. My fiance gets his clothes dirty and the Kenmore gets the clothes really clean and fresh. It is a washer that does a great job. Looks modern in looks. Its innovative in washing machines. I like the top loader because its easy to load. Does the wash perfectly. Looks great in the laundry room. The price is affordable to all. It last many years so it is worth the price. I bought mine many years ago and it works as good as when I first bought it.

My washing machine has been completely reliable and faithful servant for many years. It has performed flawlessly and done its job as intended without fail. I would highly recommend this product. Thats about all I have to say.

I purchased a Kenmore washing machine just about three years ago, series 700 high efficiency model one year ago I had to replace the pump. In the last month it started making loud noises when in the spin cycle that started to get louder. I made an appointment with a reliable repair center that I have successfully used in the past and are very knowledgeable. The mechanic that came and looked at it said the bearings are worn out and it would cost 600 dollars to replace them. That is almost what I paid for the machine.I contacted Kenmore and asked if they can offer me some kind of help considering its only three years old and I feel that it should have lasted longer than that, we are only two people in the house. They offered me a 75.00 voucher towards a new one. Im disappointed and feel that since I bought the machine thinking it was a well known name they would offer a little more than what amounts to a Sunday sale price. I recently purchased another machine and sorry to say that I would not buy another Kenmore product.

It cleans my clothes amazingly well. It uses less water too. This washer is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone who is in the market for a new washer. My washer is still going strong. No breaks. Ive had no problems with it yet and Im thinking that I will not have any for a long time. I rate this ten out of ten. This washer is beautiful. Sleek in design and wonderful to look at. Wouldnt have it any other way. Perfect and flawless designing. It is definitely worth the price. The price is so cheap compared to what it actually worth. I would pay thrice as much as I did for this washer, 20 times over. Keep it up.

This is the worst washer I have ever owned, it is always going unlevel. I have had it four or five years and the tub has already been replaced once. I dont think any of the new washers with this type of tub and ball as a ringer are any count. They need to go back to the old washers.

It was fine, got stains out but I wasnt overly impressed. The unit was also very loud during the spin cycle. The unit seemed to be big enough for weekly washing for my husband and I but I had to break up the loads if my daughters clothes were included. The controls were very easy to read and set, no fancy extra or unneeded options. I liked that it was straightforward and didnt have settings that I would never use, just to appear higher quality. The unit looked fine and did the job it was asked to so I guess it was a good value for the money, although I wouldnt say it was superb quality. You get what you pay for and I was satisfied with the purchase.

Turn knobs are easy to use and cant complain about the looks of the washer. I liked the smooth surface look and feel. Its a basic washer and has very good value for what you get, just would never buy one again and I would not recommend buying this washer due to all the issues I had with mine. I had the washer drum break down at least 2x while I owned. Had issues with manufacturers warranty. This washer is not reliable. Stay away. I would purchase a completely different brand. Never good experience with any Kenmore appliances.

Performance very good... but sometimes make problem if load is full.

I purchased a Kenmore Oasis Elite in May 2006. We have no children at home, just two retired people. Within a year the hinges on the lid had to be replaced. Rust has been developing. Recently, the tub would hit against the frame when spinning. The repairman replaced the computer board, still didnt work. Another visit and he replaced the pump, still didnt work. Company replaced the steal tub (drum), still didnt work. The repairman stated that it probably would not last more than a year because the struts needed replaced. No surprise, one load of wash and the banging of the tub continued. Spoke with a Sears representative today. He stated that many people were very happy with the machine and it has lasted without any problems and I must have gotten a bad machine. I told him that if I got a lemon they should replace it. He said it was no longer under warranty and nothing could be done. Please never buy any Kenmore appliances from Sears.

I do not have to worry about my clothes coming out clean from my washer. I KNOW they will come clean. Kenmore is the only washer I will ever use. It is very reliable, and makes my life easier. My washer is one of the best assets in my home. The overall appearance of my Kenmore washer is very nice. It has a clean look to it. It always matches with what I have in my laundry room. I like having white appliances because it is easy to clean and goes with the entire house. The value of my Kenmore washer is priceless. I could NOT do without my washer. It saves me time, money and the hassle of having to go to a laundromat.

Clothes do not stay white. There is not enough water to clean. Mold started almost immediately on the rubber lining. I was told to leave the door open after each wash! Something new and white only lasts a few weeks before it turns grey. We have a water softener so our water is pure. I have you use very little soap in this newly designed washer. The printing came off the front panel after a few months. It is not covered under warranty. I can’t wait to get rid of this machine. Alas, all washers are made the same.

Worked well for my big family. I do laundry about three times a week and this washer fulfilled my familys needs. I didnt have many issues. When I did, Sears fixed it. I still have this washer. Very reliable. Never ever had any issues. Ive had other machines that gave us a ton of problems. This machine isnt one. I recommend it for big families like ours. Very pretty or fit in our small laundry room. But it fit big loads of laundry. I would definitely buy more products from this company. I was able to fit my king size comforter in this washer. It was surely worth the money. I had a more expensive washers. That didnt work as well. This one is one of the expensive ones, but its awesome, came with a great warranty.

Purchased a Kenmore Washer Model 796.41382410 in Oct. 2014. A small plastic magnetic catch on the door broke and Sears will not sell that part alone. They want me to buy a new door for $200.00 plus shipping. None of the small plastic parts appear to be available alone. All must be purchased as part of a larger (and very expensive) assembly. Last Kenmore for me.

You have to babysit this machine. It is frequently out of balance! It took me 4 hrs to do 2 loads of wash. The volume of clothes it handles is great, but it does not seem to clean well. Likely, the big problem is too many bells and whistles. Give me a big machine with simple electronics, or better yet how about the old agitators which may not have held as much, but cleaned the clothes and had hardly any problems.

Sometimes I have trouble with it being too full, but it works well most of the time. I have had other washers that didnt work as well and shook and stuff. This is stable. It always gets my clothes clean and the soap isnt left behind on the clothes. I would love to be able to see inside, but this isnt like that. I just know that it is washing the clothes. I would say the price was pretty good for the way that it works. It wasnt the priciest of washers, but I would say for what it does a little much.

My Kenmore elite washing is only six years old and the computer in it stopped working. I dont feel I should have to pay approximately $400 to get it repaired nor should I have to replace my machine with a new one at my expense. I have read many many complaints regarding this machine due to the same problem, the computer board not working. I have been buying Kenmore products from Sears for many many years but I am very disappointed in this washing machine. I will not buy nor will I recommend Kenmore products to anyone unless Kenmore/Sears replaces my broken washing machine with a new one.

Bought washer (110 28002011) $650.00 December 2011. Tub bearings went out. Cost of repair more than price of new washer. No adjustment offered, since I did not buy a maintenance agreement. I have had nothing but Kenmore Appliances made by Whirlpool for 47 years my first bad experience. I did return to Sears and bought new Kenmore made by Whirlpool, the plain jane this time. I do not want another bearing balancing tub washer as I understand there is a recall on some units because of the failure rate, but not this one. Why Kenmore again, because I trained Searss salesman to sell appliances for 36 years, and cannot change, tried to make myself go to Lowes, just could not---what loyalty. But I am still highly dissatisfied.

Our machine is an older model, but it handles everything I pack it with! When its time to replace it, I will definitely consider the company. My clothing comes out clean, and the songs are straightforward.

Very efficient, didnt use a lot of water or power and was very quiet. It was very simple to use and even did large loads quickly. I was very satisfied with this washer. It was very reliable, it last about 15 years before we had to replace it. It never gave us trouble at all, and we never had to replace any parts on it. It was very nice looking. It was bright white and matched the paint in our utility room. It had smooth corners and looked very modern and appealing. Wouldnt change anything about it. This was a very good, reliable washer for the price. It was on the lower budget price side but it still gave us many years of use for the price.

Great at getting clothes clean. Not too noisy. Handles large loads well. Many cycle options. Worry free operation. Very dependable usage. Never a repair or performance issue. Construction is very heavy duty and sturdy. Will last many years to come. Well worth price. Very attractive appearance blends in well with any decor. Shows function features and controls very easily. Looks a lot more expensive but is not. Works as well as many more expensive higher end machines at a much lower price. A great bargain if on budget.

Appearance is modern and stylish at the same time. That is very important to every modern family in our modern society. Therefore Kenmore brand, upholding its high appearance standards is so popular among modern generation of our time. It does its work very effectively and thoroughly every single time and I expect it to be delivered to me on the highest level, because reliability factor is the most important to me. Its a very good feeling to trust completely and thoroughly your washer. It works results every single time, no matter what without any exceptions. Kenmores value is very good indeed and very justified as well and everybody is looking for these particular features in a laundry machine.

Our clothes always came out very clean using this washer and smelling great. My husband works in the motor oil manufacturing plant and he always comes home smelling of motor oil but using this washer, it really gets the smell out. This washer is very reliable and easy to use. We had Kenmore appliances before and will have them again... I have never had an issue with the Kenmore washer having any issues. This washer has a nice, sleek design and easy to use dials and knobs. It is also easy to read... No need to go find your glasses to start it. We bought our Kenmore washer at Sears and the associate that helped us was very helpful in finding what we needed and how much we were willing to spend and we feel we got our moneys worth.

I will NEVER purchase nor will I recommend Kenmore Elite Stainless Steel appliances. First, the only stainless steel which exists is in the handles on all appliances, everything else is cheap metal. I bought in 2016 the Side-by-Side (both doors developed rust spots within one month), Dishwasher (outside door) developed rust spots, Microwave/Oven combo (both doors) developed rust spots, and Gourmet Hood, which developed rust spots and the lights no longer work. All I did was use the cleaner, which came with the appliances. I built a brand new house and everything within one month had rust. I called Sears, well, guess what, I was over my 30 days so NO WARRANTY on the rust. I called the store and Were sorry to hear that. No discount on my full purchase price either. My husband, who is a builder, said they are more than likely storing the appliances in a damp warehouse and its cheap metal, as steel doesnt rust. In the past, I purchased GE Profile and no problems. Here I have a new house with old looking appliances.

It does not clean very well. It also stopped working multiple times. It leaked water consistently as well. Sometimes it would make very loud beating noises as it was spinning. It would work when it wanted to. About half of the time it would not work. It was always being repaired. It was not a very good machine. It looked like any other washer out there. But it was lacking in options to choose from. However, it did have the basics in order to get the job done. It did not cost any less than most other brands. I feel that if I had spent the same amount on another brand, that I would have a working machine.

I purchased the Kenmore Automatic Washer model 796.3162#31# in 2016, and I had to have it replaced within 3 weeks of delivery. The water would not drain out of the machine. The machine I now have rips my husbands t-shirts. I have pictures to prove their destruction. I have had 2 different servicemen come out and it still occurs. What I have just discovered is there is a tiny barely noticeable metal wire that sets up and the clothes are getting caught on that wire. All of that money was spent on a washer that destroys my husbands shirts. I hope they are able to fix this issue.

I bought this washer in 2005 at a Sears outlet store. Now keep in mind I live alone so I dont do a lot of laundry, much below the average family, yet here I am 10 years later and somehow this thing is now not cycling through a wash load. Way to go Kenmore -- 10 years, thats it. Now I got to pay for a repair or buy ANOTHER one. Before I had this wash I had an old Kenmore washer that was 25 YEARS OLD and not one issue. I can tell you this, never again will I buy your crap. This is disgraceful and you can bet I will also pass my displeasure with Kenmore on social media every chance I get.

Good quality, clean, efficient, hardworking product. Time tested and approved. Ive gotten many, many loads of laundry clean and fresh with this washer. This washer has been very reliable through many tough dirty jobs. Id recommend it for anyone looking for good, clean quality for great value and price. This washer is typical in looks but the value and quality more than makes up for aesthetics lacking, just buy it and see people... youll get clean value at a great price. You save time on presoaks plus its less expensive than others that seem to have the same value. It lives up to the value and more.

I loved Kenmore because it always worked and was reliable. I had it for a long time and never had to repair much. I only had a few issues which were temporary and probably from my own wear and tear. The machine was recommended by a family member. They knew that my old washing machine had broke and decided to tell me about a sale at Best Buy. I got it about 20% off and I really got my money’s worth from this machine. It worked for a long time, but it was cheaply made and it had a lot of other problems cosmetically. It could have had stronger material or make it out of better things for large families and the wear and tear they bring.

I feel the performance is great. As with all appliances they can break down but not very often but I still will get this product because its still very good. Its size is good for putting it in the washer pretty much anywhere in the house. I have mine in the basement and it works out well. Appearance is fine. I have no complaints. It gets what it has to do done so I would recommend this to anyone who wants one of these. In fact you can find a lot of models online. Great value for the money and I would recommend this to anyone who wants one of these.

It may be a little difficult to understand what each button does when you first get it, but its really easy to learn and it is very good at what it does. Were in a family of six and it can still hold all of our lights, darks, jeans, etc. Unless your family is massive, there will definitely be enough space for your clothes. Appearance-wise its a little bland. Personally one with a more chrome-like appearance would look nicer. It was definitely a good price for how good of a washing machine it is. Im not going to say it cant be a little cheaper, but it doesnt bother me quite as much with how well it does overall.

Works every time, never fails. Clothes sparkle and machine is sturdy and never needs repair. Fits perfect in laundry room. Easy to operate and unload clothes and color of appliance suits to a T.

I had used this washer for 10 or more years. Washing clothes was pretty good. However, my washer has broken down. Water coming out of the washer, so had to buy a new one. The washing machine lasted so many years for me. Reliability was good and I would recommend to my friends and family. As for energy efficiency, the noise level was okay and it wasnt that loud. I like it when the washing machine door can be opened in front and able to put lots of clothes in one to two spin. The appearance of the washing machine was pretty good. I like it when it is white instead of other color. When I brought the washing machine, the price was affordable. Right now, prices is not that expensive to afford, so the value is still good.

Works good with all types of clothes in hot and cold water. Saves energy. Very quiet and not noisy. Looks very good and does not take up that much space. Long cord so you can put it anywhere.

Clean well, works well - washes fast. Laundry comes out smelling good - great machine, last forever - cant overload it. Thats my favorite part about it. My husband broke our other washer that way thats why we got yours. Like the design, like the shape, like how easy it is to get to the buttons and how easy it is to put the soap in - very easy to use washer, nice washer. Did pay that much a very good deal, great value, got a lot of use for the price. I couldnt have ask for a better price. We do probably 3 loads a day in that machine.

I do not like my washing machine. When it is finished washing there is one pieces of clothing that literally covers all the clothes and appears to tuck all the clothes in under it. Sometimes the piece on top is not totally wet and I wonder if it even got washed. Then I wonder if the ones under it got washed because they are so neatly tucked in. It looks like a loaf of bread waiting to rise in a bowl. I have been careful the way I load it, but it still comes out wrapped up, especially when I do sheets. The bottom sheet always wraps everything. I also have a problem with the dark load coming out with white spots. I use the All pods and have to cut the pod and put the detergent in the dispenser. And... the softener never completely empties.

It does the job. It works. It holds a lot of clothes. Its quiet so Im able to use it at night without hearing any noise. Its well worth the price. I would definitely consider it to my friends and family. It is very reliable on the job that it does. It is very dependable. I can wash clothes and know that they will get dry and not shrink any of my clothes. It looks very nice and stylish at the same time. The color combination goes very well with the decorations and the color scheme of the laundry room. The value of the machine is well worth the price of what I have paid for it. I was not expecting it to work as well as it does for the price I bought it for.

The appearance looks very modern and good-looking as well inside. The value of the machine had me thinking for a little bit if I should buy it. However, I did, and it went out much better than expected. If you are deciding to buy this, you might as well. Not going to lie, I had some doubts about using this. But, I am very happy I spent my money on this washer as it helped a lot when it came to dirty or stained clothing. It was usually very good. Very well money spent indeed. I hope I shall continue using it as it is very important for cleaning my clothing.

Sometimes it seems like the clothes wash faster than the older washing machines. This washing machine is very reliable. Older washing machines we had in the past would give us problems within a few years. But this one we have almost 3-4 years now and havent had one problem yet. I love the appearance on this because it a newer looking washing machine and doesnt look like the old ones. Sometimes I forget that this is a washing machine. The value was great. We didnt spend too much on it to the point where we had to think twice about getting it. Once we saw the machine and the price our mind was made up.

I have had this Kenmore Elite Oasis washer for 5 years and have never had one load of clothes come out clean. To even get somewhat clean, I have to use the heavy duty setting, plus pre-soak and extra rinse. It seems like there just is not enough water used, and not enough agitation. Sheets and large items roll up into a ball. Everything wrinkles excessively. I would trade this for an old, plain washer with a real agitator without hesitation. I have never really disliked a washer before, but I hate this one.

Sears Kenmore Washing Machines are very reliable, gets my clothes clean, and no breakdowns. I am very happy with the brand, and I have several other pieces of equipment with the Kenmore brand name. Thank you.

It works great, dont make loud noise. It fits very well into the kitchen and beeps when it stops. When I first saw it I knew it would be a good washer for me. Doesnt have to pack a lot of clothes in the wash to wash my clothes. I can even put 3 or 4 comforter in the washer and clean my clothes. I can use gain washing machine and bounce to dry my clothes and leave a great smell in the clothes. I set up the dial according to the load of clothes that Im going to wash. Good for washing my clothes and leave the clothes clean and dont have to worry about washing. I wash about 7 to 8 load a week.

It does a good job at cleaning my clothes as well as helping take the smell out. I use this washer all the time, and Id buy it again. I would highly recommend to anyone. It has a very large interior, and I can fit all of my clothes inside it. It is utterly amazing! I never have to do more than 2 loads of all of my clothes, ever. It is a very sleek design. I like the front load because you can watch the clothes spin. It fits nicely, and the white color fits in with its surroundings very well. It is worth every penny. It is not the cheapest option, but the space inside saves you big bucks in the long run because you do less loads.

I really love Kenmore washing machines. They have a great variety of different styles. They also have great prices. They definitely were built to last, I would definitely recommend a Kenmore to everyone.

The performance is very outstanding. I love the time that it takes to clean. It is very acceptable and I have high remarks about it. I would recommend it to any looking for a washer. Id recommend it because it is also reliable when it comes to time being on your hands. This washer will satisfy all of your needs and thats a guarantee. I love the reliability of this product. The appearance itself made me want to purchase and use the Kenmore washer. I saw in browsing through the Internet and I decided to try it out myself. Much better than the average. The value of this washer machine is outstanding. Words cant explain the worth of this product and its usefulness. I would recommend this to anyone from my family group.

I used the washer for many years. It functioned well and I typically washed about three loads a day. It was easy to use and my favorite part is that it held heavy duty large loads well and had no problems.

The washer always did good. It was fast, efficient, and never broke down. The washer itself never got moldy or smelly and I love the options to wash. This washer could fit a pretty large load of clothes or a few quilts. It never got hung up and washed with ease. I could also easily wash more than one pillow. Its a basic washer appearance. It doesnt look as high tech as some washers out these days, but its still very nice and has enough nice features to get done what you need. It wasnt highly expensive and has lasted for a long time and still going. The knobs are all in working order. The doors are in working order.

Lady Kenmore super capacity - It was top of the line at the time, $600.00. Electronic sensor temperature settings. Everything from heavy soiled cotton settings to delicate settings. Powerful motor. Kenmore from Sears that was bought in 1992. It was reliable. It had the largest clothes capacity at that time. I have absolutely no complaints about this washer. I have had this appliance for 24 years. I look for top brand names with stellar operational ratings. I look for online reliability reports. I look at price and warranty. I look at customer service records. I will only buy super capacity washers. I am not concerned about energy efficient ratings. If the washer is reliable, I am willing to pay the price. I will always go with name brands such as Kenmore or Maytag. I have never had to repair my Lady Kenmore washer in 24 years. If the washer frequently required repairs, I would steer clear of the brand from now on. I have had no problems with paint chipping nor any problems with the appliance eating my clothing. My Lady Kenmore Ultra Fabric Care Heavy Duty 90 series has been fantastic. It has 8 temperature cycle and 5 cycle modifier settings. It was the most expensive washer at the time but well worth the money. This washer moves an oversized load of clothes just as efficiently as a small size load. The electronic temperature settings are an added benefit. If you are washing clothes in the winter and need for the water to be properly balanced, this will electronically monitor the temperature of the water and will create the proper amount of hot and cold water combination for the desired suitable water temperature. This product is wonderful!

We have always been fans of the Kenmore washing machines until we bought the Elite. It wont get my husbands work clothes clean, constantly goes out of balance, and leaves white residue on dark clothes. We have tried a wide variety of the HE detergents on the market - powder, liquid, pods. Nothing seems to make any difference. We paid quite a bit for this machine and it has not lived up to our expectations. Wish we could afford to replace it.

Kenmore washer never with hot water - It does not wash with hot water! Cold only! I turn the dial to hot and its never even warm! That may be why it locks. I want my old washer back!

My first washing machine was a Kenmore that we got used from a neighbor. It worked forever and was super reliable, and always cleaned our clothes well. Quality, trustworthy and reliable. Never had any issues with it. We used it for over 5 yrs and then sold it when we moved.

Waiting almost 2 months for service!! Kenmore Elite - Glass Top Load Washer unit is JUNK and Sears service is WORST! Second time top exploding in three months! I believe this unit is a safety HAZARD and SHOULD be RECALLED!! And redesigned!! Broken glass is dangerous especially around children! I would stay VERY far from this washer!!! SO SORRY I BOUGHT IT!! REGRET BUYING FROM SEARS! PLEASE do not make my mistake? Buying this washer from SEARS!

Our Kenmore washer, purchased in 2006, stopped working recently. Error code F22 appeared on the front panel which is a door latch failure. I ordered another latch and installed it myself. When I attempted to operate the washer the latch immediately failed again and gave the F22 code. I then called Sears appliance repair. When they finally showed up, the technician put a new latch assembly in and it too immediately failed. He said the controller was sending a continuous latch signal which destroys the latch and that I would need a new controller and latch. We had purchased an extended warranty for $319.00 which would cover up to $500.00 in repairs but the price he quoted went beyond that by $287.00. I saw no other choice so I authorized the repair. After the technician left, I looked on the Sears parts website to compare the part prices he had quoted us and found that the repair guys price was double the price Sears quoted. I called the technician to ask him why and he said he had no control over pricing and that I would have to complain to Sears. The Sears rep told me that the repair people get their parts from a different source. I told him there was no way I was going to pay double and asked for a refund on the parts and cancelled the warranty. I eventually received my two refunds. As of this writing, I still have no functional washing machine.

Kenmore elite 796.4157 - washer. After one week of having the machine I went into the laundry room and almost slipped because of all the water on the floor. Had a repairman come and he said nothing was wrong, just too much suds. I use tide HE - he said that was fine. I used less detergent and the machine still leaked. Another repairman came and replaced the hose. He said use less detergent. I use so little detergent its ridiculous it still leaks and another repairman is coming next week. There is an opening in the back of the machine with a white circle and the machine is made that way to release suds and water. Sometimes I see just water pouring from it. Why would anyone make a machine that comes out of the machine onto the floor. Someone is going to slip and get hurt and then I will sue Sears and my floor is constantly getting water. AGAIN WHY WOULD A MACHINE BE MADE TO GET RID OF SUDS AND WATER ON YOUR FLOOR. I WANT A DIFFERENT MACHINE. I Purchased it in 2013. WHY WHY WHY????? Who makes a machine that makes water come out on a customers machines?
