Kenmore Washer Repairs
If you're looking for help fixing your Kenmore Washer, look no further! Our comprehensive Kenmore Washer repair guide will explain common issues, provide tips, and maybe show you how to repair your appliance.
For the home, kitchen and beyond, Kenmore manufactures appliances that homeowners have come to trust. Even a trustworthy appliance requires occasional maintenance or repair, however. If you’re in need of Kenmore appliance repair from experienced professionals, your local Appliance Helper can help.
Kenmore Washer won't spin
Lid Switch Assembly. The lid switch assembly prevents the washer from spinning when the lid is open. If the lid switch assembly fails, the washer will not spin. To determine if the lid switch assembly is defective, use a multimeter to test the lid switch for continuity. If the lid switch does not have continuity, replace it.
Kenmore Washer is making loud noise
Bearing. The tub bearing is mounted in the middle of the outer tub. The tub bearing helps to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. Replacing the tub bearing is a very involved repair and will require disassembling most of the washer. If the tub bearing is defective, we recommend replacing both the outer tub and bearing.
Kenmore Washer won't agitate
Agitator Repair Kit. If the washer won't agitate, replacing the agitator repair kit may solve the problem. The kit contains the agitator components that are most likely to wear out and/or fail. If any of the parts are worn out, stripped, or damaged, replace the kit.
Kenmore Washer won't drain
Drain Pump. Sometimes, small objects or articles of clothing can get caught in the drain pump. To determine if anything is blocking the drain pump, remove the drain pump and check the pump for obstructions. If the drain pump is clear of obstructions, but is still noisy during the drain cycle, replace the drain pump.
Kenmore Washer vibrating or shaking
Shock Absorber. One or more of the shock absorbers might be broken or worn out. The shock absorbers dampen the vibration of the washer tub. If one or more of the shock absorbers are worn out, the washer will vibrate or shake. Sometimes, when a washer is moved to another location, the shock absorbers can separate. Check the shock absorbers to ensure that they are positioned correctly, and inspect them for damage and wear. If one or more of the shock absorbers are broken or worn out, we recommend replacing all of the shock absorbers as a preventative measure.
Kenmore Washer fills slowly or will not fill at all
Water Inlet Valve. The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the washing machine. If the water inlet valve is defective, the wash may fill slowly or not fill at all. The water inlet valve requires sufficient water pressure to function properly. First, check the water pressure to determine that it is adequate. If the water pressure is adequate, try cleaning the screens inside the water inlet valve hose connection ports. If the washer still fills slowly, replace the water inlet valve.
Kenmore Washer leaking water
Drain Pump. The drain pump pumps water out the drain hose. If the drain pump is cracked or damaged, or if the bearings are worn out, the drain pump may leak water. The drain pump is not repairable—if the pump is leaking water, replace it.
Kenmore Washer won't start
Timer. The timer is frequently misdiagnosed—before replacing the timer, first check all of the more commonly defective parts. To determine if the timer is defective, consult your washer’s wiring diagram and use a multimeter to test the timer for continuity.
Kenmore Washer won't spin or agitate
Drive Belt. Inspect the drive belt to determine if it is broken or if it is loose on the pulleys. If the drive belt is broken or loose, replace it.

Profoundly bad experience with this Kenmore Series 100. Dryer handle broke 1 week after bringing it home. Washing machine is stunningly bad. I have to wear white for my job and I have to run 3 cycles to get my clothes clean. This experience has led me to refurbish my old machines and expect to see another 20 years of AMAZING quality from my laundry machines. I will NEVER BUY KENMORE AGAIN.
Kenmore 700 series washing machine top load with glass lid - DO NOT buy this washing machine! It doesnt put enough water in to wash anything. I tried to wash 5 pair of VERY dirty jeans and they still had clumps of mud on them. I washed a load of towels and the towels absorbed all the water that was dispensed, and the Tide Pod was not completely dissolved! Even using deep fill it will dispense only 3 of water into the tub. I can get it to fill 3 times dispensing 3 of water each time if I stand there and hit the deep fill button, open and close the lid and who has time for that. I am having Sears come and replace this piece of junk Friday!
This has been the most dependable washer Ive owned in quite awhile. Its just too sad that Kenmore appliances are not very popular since Sears has left the retail world. I was always a Sears/Kenmore customer for all of my major appliances purchases.
Purchased top load washing machine (Kenmore Elite Washing Machine) with glass top lid Oct 30, 2018. Exploded April 6... then again one week after it was fixed... April 25... Still waiting on a replacement 2 weeks later. Sears warranty tell us they never heard of this, judging by item being back ordered and multiple other reviews I’ve read THIS IS A PROBLEM!!! BUYER BEWARE! MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!!!
The water of my washer will not drain plus it has all kinds of error codes. I had to pay $129.00 for a repairman to take the bottom section below the door and unscrew a 3 round end off and clean out a trap that if in the book, I could have done myself. This should be included in the care of the washers to be checked once a year. This is just another way for them to take advantage of the consumer. I posted on FB to get the word out and to save everyone some hard earn money.
It never failed us and it did exactly what it was designed to do. It was a very good washer and I never found anything to complain about it. Great reliability, nothing on it ever faltered in its duties as a washer. The only thing that ever happened with one of the water hoses valves started leaking, but that was probably just because I had bought it used so that was on me/previous owner. The appearance was simple and fit well into my washroom. Sleek, simple, easy to follow with your eyes. Goes great with a more modern design washroom. As with anything nowadays things cost a fair bit more than they use to. That being said, though, for the price of a new one with a reasonable lay-a-way plan or something similar for the households that have lower incomes, its a pretty good deal in my view.
My Kenmore is the most reliable machine I have ever owned. From tiny one or two piece loads to the stuffed sheets and blankets this Kenmore can be totally counted on to thoroughly clean and spins out so well it just doesn’t take long to dry. Love Kenmore. Sad about Sears.
It does not take long to clean what I need to clean. It does not make a lot of noise and is easy to use. I love it. When I bought I was very excited and I most dependently would not buy another washer for a good, good twenty years. It is very, very reliable. I can really count on it to wash every item correctly and in a timely manner every single time I use it. I would never use any brand but this one. It is very, very cute and I love it in my kitchen. It is just so pretty and I really love it. Everyone should buy this washer. It is perfect or anybody house. Washers are really pricey any way so the price I payed was amazing. I even got sweet discount. You really get a lot for your money. You will love it.
Kenmore top loading high efficiency washer model 110.2810 - We purchased this washing machine from Sears for $750 on 12/2/2012 and did not purchase the extended warranty. It is now less than two years old and I came home the other day to find my basement flooded because the outer drum of the machine cracked. The repair person said he could not believe what he saw with this broken part and he felt this was clearly a manufacturers defect. It will cost $600 to repair my 2 year old washing machine. I called Sears to request that they supply the part for free so that I only needed to pay for the repair itself of $300 and was told I needed to call the manufacturer Kenmore. When I called the phone number that was posted by Kenmore I was told that I needed to contact the manufacturer directly as they could not help me. I told them that I thought I did call the manufacturer and they told me that I called Sears. I told them I got the phone number off of the Kenmore website and they said yes, they post that number but its actually to Sears. What kind of customer service is this? They then transferred me to Whirlpool who manufactures Kenmore. After talking with the rep at Whirlpool, she said they no longer manufacture Kenmore and that I need to call Sears because they sold it to me. This is a terrible way to do business. It would be nice if they would manufacture a reliable product that you do not need to purchase an extended warranty for an amount that costs half the price of the machine itself. They do this apparently because they know they are manufacturing a substandard product. This is an American based company and this is truly an embarrassment for our country to have such poor manufacturing supported by even worse customer service. I would sincerely hope that management takes a better look into how they continue to do business.
This was a very nice product. It held a large amount of laundry and did an excellent job cleaning. The only drawback is that it seemed to take longer than regular washers. This product is very reliable. It never seemed to have any problems or get out of line. If the clothes were out of balance it would adjust them itself. I had this product in black and silver and I loved the way it looked. It had a clear top so I could look in at the clothes at any time. It was an excellent washer. The price I paid for this product was a little steep but for the quality of this product and the overall job it does it was a very reasonable price that I paid.
I like that I can set the washer to start later, like an hour or two up to 12. That way I can go grocery shopping and when I get back the washer will still be on. My complaint is that Im not supposed to cover the center (theres no stick anymore) where theres a metal button. If it gets covered, like when I wash sheets and blankets, it wont drain. Itll actually take more time by re-rinsing and not draining so my sheets and blankets come out soaking wet. They never spin dry either. Id like there to be an option to spin only. Right now I have to select rinse and spin, which uses more water. That kind of defeats the purpose of it being HE.
I bought a Sears Kenmore washer about 40 years ago. It lasted me about 20 years. I was very satisfied with it, did not have any problems with it until the very end. One day it just completely froze up. The repairman said it had nothing left to give. I did a lot of washing with it even heavy rugs and it continue to hold up. They just dont make washers that durable anymore.
I have a top load Kenmore elite washer. I bought it a couple of years ago replacing a 12 year old Whirlpool. It has been a real pain due to constant UE error (out of balance) about 50 to 70% of the time and usually when its with towels and jeans. I am very close to replacing (not Kenmore). I never had such a problem before.
Makes clothes clean and smell great. Great product and great service. Last a long time. I highly recommend their products. I have had no problems with the upkeep. Easy and affordable for parts and service.
This washer has never given me any issues and is very easy to use. It is standard size and capacity and the standard color white. I have had this washer for many years and will buy Kenmore appliances in the future. This washer has always worked as expected and never given me any major issues. I have had to on occasion replace a belt or what not but have not had any major issues with this appliance. It looks like every other washer that I have ever owned. Kenmore offers a good value as you get a high quality name brand product for a value price. The service at sears where you purchase it is also typically very good.
I am so unhappy with this washing machine. It simply does not rinse the soap residue from dark fabrics. The last batch of dark colors, navy, black, jeans, etc. came out with white soap marks all over. I rewashed with no soap and added a rinse cycle. Still bad! I washed a king size teal colored blanket. After three rinses, I hauled the wet thing to the Sears store and showed them all the soap residue. They told me I used too much soap! Now I use a fraction of the soap and still get the residue. Dont buy this...
Works great. It fits all your loads in at once! Its efficient and gets the job done with multiple loads, and its energy-efficient. It saves time and money especially with a busy schedule. Its white, front loader, and fits in my pantry space. Not too big. Cost about $900.
I have had this washer about seven years and I bought it used. To this day it still works. It is what I use weekly to do our laundry in. Im very satisfied with it. I can get a full load in there. Sometimes Ive overloaded it but other than that it works great as long as I dont have too many dirty clothes in. It does have a few nicks and dings in it. Couple of rough spots too but it washes out of clothes just fine and to me thats all that matters. Even though it is probably 15 years old I would say the value of it would be at least $100 because it works perfectly. I just pulled out a trash bag full of winter clothes with jeans and coats and was able to get a huge black trash bag washed into loads of laundry.
The washer does the job well and gets clothes clean but I wish that I had a larger washer. I have a large family and the load size is fairly large most of the time, so I very frequently have to do multiple loads of laundry to get all of it done. But other than the size of the washer capacity, I am very pleased with it. It is just the ordinary plain, white washer. Nothing in particular that is fancy or special about it. It also is in a laundry room, so it isnt out in the open where it is always seen by others. But for the job it does, it was a great bargain and has been well worth the money that was spent for it. It was a very reasonable price because I chose just a basic model.
Is a great machine with lots of energy efficiency and great performance. Very happy with it. Great and trusted brand as well. Also it does not make much noise when running. It is a machine that you can rely for long term. Great performance and have the confidence that this machine will last for many years to come. Also it comes with guaranty in case it breaks. The look of the machine is outstanding. The door ion in the front which makes it easy to load with clothes for drying. It is a very modern look of the machine. The value is great if you consider all the features you get for that price and the performance and long term that you get by buying this machine.
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.
Never had a problem and cleans great. Mechanical it is a very well built machine. My clothes cleaner now than when I had a different machine. This machine is so well built. It may be the last one I ever own. We have never even had the slightest glitch. We wash almost everyday. The machine has easy to see and use buttons answer settings. The panel puts everything right at your fingertips. All in all its a real clean look. It has saved us money in both cost of water used, amount of detergent used and electric costs. For my money its a great buy. I would recommend it to anyone.
We purchased in Apr. 2013. Would not get item clean. Would not even get all items wet. Called for service. Waited 3 weeks to get a tech to the house. Sears shipped wrong control board. Tech put shipped board in washer. He said it would work until they sent the correct control board. Waited 2 months, no new board. Called Sears and they stated, The board was still on back order and did not know when it would be available. I asked for a replacement. Replacement was delivered. Machine did the same thing as the first machine. Call back and asked for a replacement with a different model. Replacement was $1500.00 cheaper than the original set. (Oh, btw it is now Oct. 2013) Sears will not refund us the difference. The problem was with your product. Shame on you Sears!!!!! I will never purchase from Sears again.
Kenmore gets our clothes clean, offers a Vietnam of cycles, temperatures and I am please. Kids do their own laundry so its easy to use. It stays clean and fresh smelling and cycles are fast. It is definitely reliable. Have had to for a few years and we do several loads a weeks. Have not had any issues with it not operating correctly. We are pleased with its functioning capability. Cant say I have seen a good looking or a bad looking washing machine but this machine is attractive. We have had it for a few years and I honestly do not remember what we paid for it but considering it has worked without issues for this long I would say it was good value.
Performance very good... but sometimes make problem if load is full.
Gets the job done and gets everything clean to my satisfaction, but I have kind of a generic model where it doesnt do much more than that. It looks like a regular washing machine. There are way better Kenmores out there but I will say the reliability is stellar. I have had for 6 years and have not had any breakdowns (knock on wood) so far. No complaints in that department. I think it was worth buying but I do not think it is worth much more than that.
I purchased a Kenmore Top Load washer in 2010. I have hated this machine since the day I bought it. It doesnt clean the clothes if they have any kind of soil on them, I have to run them up to three times to get them clean. The machine has had issues that cost me as much as I paid for the machine to fix twice since I purchased it. It is a lemon. I will never purchase another washing machine from Kenmore again since I cannot afford to fix a machine that shouldnt break so often.
My Kenmore washer has been the best washer I have had so far. The washer has done an excellent job and I am very happy with it and would recommend it to all of my friends. My Kenmore washer has been very reliable so far and has not needed any repair or fixing so far. It can fit all my and my familys clothes and stuff. My Kenmore washer has a decent appearance... It looks like every other washer out there that you can buy. It is not anything fancy or stainless steel but it does its purpose. My Kenmore washer was fairly and reasonably priced for what it is and the quality of it. I have gotten many uses and years out of it without any problems or repairs.
Most of the time it ran just like it should. Once and a while it would jam up or stop working. It was very dependable and got my clothes clean. The one I had lasted many years before I had to replace it. No matter what I put into it, it always did a wonderful job. I would definitely recommend this for anyone needing a washer. The store only had it in very few colors. It did not look very attractive but, got it for what it can do not its looks. As long as it did its job well, like always, its appearance does not matter. It was a bit on the expensive side but, it lasted so long that it was worth what we paid for it.
Its quiet, dependable, energy-efficient and really works hard. Eight loads a week and it holds up. Does blankets, rugs, work clothes, coats, regular laundry. Works well with heavy loads too. For the price we paid, we have not had a repair bill. Its easy to use and clean. It can be moved easily, and with one person. We love it and once in a while family brings things when their washer breaks down.
The Kenmore top-loading, high efficiency, low water washer was purchased 8/15/10 for $550.79 plus 3-yr full warranty coverage for $169.99. July 3, 2014 the lid not locked icon signaled that the circuit board was fried. Circuit board, come on, this is a washing machine in a single family household with 3-5 loads per week and should last 14-15 years. A replacement circuit board is $400 plus labor. Do the math. Kenmore, I hope some hard-working attorney puts together a group to participate in a Class Action suit and sue you for manufacturing a washing machine engineered to fail. Have you no shame. Kenmore, you are not too big to fail. Heres to that attorney who brings you to your knees and stops you from fleecing American consumers.
I have always used Kenmore. Has always been a dependable, quality product with excellent customer service. This specific washer has never given me one single problem. Not to mention great, efficient customer service. Looking to upgrade to a front loader next!! Perfect size, surface has stayed unscathed with our often brutal wash sessions. Nothing too fancy as far as controls but that helps with teens using the washer. Value is excellent. Kenmore has always produced a quality product for a good price. Less is more in this case. Would purchase again.
We bought our home in Loxahatchee Florida, with great joy and began furnishing and decorating. Because of limited space, we purchased the Kenmore Stacked Laundry Center, #61532. It is just my husband and I, so we do 3-4 loads of laundry per week. Just the other day, only 1 year and 9 months from our purchase of this brand new appliance, water started showing up on our laundry room floor. We check hoses, drain pipe, etc. and all are secure. So I call Sears for service and was told that the warranty is only for one year, so I would have to pay for repairs. Okay, how bad could it be??? Well, the technician came out and took one look at it and after hearing what we said was wrong, said oh, yea, this happens to these all the time, apparently Sears is peddling this appliance that has a transmission problem. And, worse, after spending $1,200 on the initial purchase, this would be $900 to fix!!! How shameful that Sears, a company that my mom worked for for 20+ years and my parents swore by the Kenmore brand is putting out a product that they KNOW is faulty and has not performed properly for any consumer. They wont credit us, they wont take it back, we are stuck with this monstrosity. We are tired of this kind of wanton callous concern for the end user. How is there not a recall on this item???
Generally positive. Reliable and intuitive interface which makes it easy to use. Most importantly gets my clothes clean. Seems energy efficient. But it could be quieter though.
Its a good washer and has last many years. It has never broke down and never given me any problems. It does a good job cleaning so I like it very much. It has fit all of my problem since I have had this washer. It is strong and really does a good job cleaning my and my familys clothes so it has been good to me and has done its job good. The look of this washer is very nice. It sets up well and does not move. I like the way it looks and it fits all of the things around the house. It cost a little more than I thought it would but it has paid for itself many time over so I really can not complain about the price of this washer.
It was great... the clothes dried fast. I hardly ever had to use my iron cause the drying was fantastic. I loved that. GREAT brand... Top of the line. I cant stress this brand enough. I had lived at my house for over 15 years. And didnt have to replace it till like 2 yrs ago. VERY dependable. Never had any problems with it. The only reason I got rid of it was I needed a new washer so I got 2 new appliances... It was kinda plain... but it went with everything. And as long as it did its job I didnt care.. like I said very happy with this brand, longest I had a appliance. SUPER GREAT. I didnt buy it, it came with the house. But the people that left it there had told me what they paid at the time... I have to say for as long as I had it... It was well worth it.
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 washers performance I would have to say is one of the best that I have seen before. Presoaks pre-rinse, the cycles lasts long enough that I know without a doubt everything is getting good and agitated and that my clothes are definitely coming out clean. Plus this washer also has a self cleaning cycle so that I dont have to figure out how to clean it myself, it does it for me. Plus there is gentle cycle, permanent cycle, heavily soiled, small, medium, large and oversized weights for whatever size you are loading into the machine. Since no pur based the machine 2 to 3 three years ago I have yet to have a single issue with it. No matter how much has been shoved into its never gotten off balance, never slung the laundry all to one side. It has kept it evenly distributed through the inside of the tub itself. And though it is self cleaning none not once has a single line that is attached to the machine has never gotten clogged up. I like the fact that its white, can be a hassle to keep cleaned but if properly taken care of very pretty. And will remain that way if properly maintained. But my favorite feature is that it has a clear glass, self locking lid that can be seen through. So instead of wondering if its actually doing what its supposed to do like with the older ones with a solid a lid you can just look down into and seen that it is working just fine.
The Kenmore washer is very energy efficient, fills up quickly even in cold water, is very quiet, and the clothes are washed very thoroughly. The final rinse is the best, the clothes come out so wrinkle free, not all twisted up like some washers. I can depend on it totally. If Im in a hurry I have a fast quick wash on there that can get the job done. If I want things that need soaked, I know it will get the job done. Its very attractive appliance and modern looking. Has all the features right where they are easy to get to and easy to understand. Its well worth every cent. A bit pricey, but it will last for many years. The service and warranty goes above and beyond. It saves so much on my water bill it is paying for itself.
This machine holds large loads, and it drains properly. The knobs are self explanatory, so even one that is not used to taking care of the laundry on a regular basis can understand how to use this machine. It gets clothing clean with proper soap usage. This washing machine works well. It hold large loads of clothing and even will wash one comforter blanket at a time. I never have to worry about whether or not my clothing will get clean. The machine gets the job done. Simple yet efficiently elegant. I got it at a good value. This machine works hard and pretty much earns a bit of unfair abuse but it does the job.
Started getting PF error. Wife called for support. No one could provide support nor did they want to. Said it was against policy to provide troubleshooting, but they would be happy to set up an appointment for around $129. The washer only has a 1 yr warranty. Anything that you pay more than $500 for should cover parts for at least 3yrs. The staff at Sears stated, you should have got the extended warranty babe, nothing is made like it used to and your lucky if it last 3 yrs. I was able to reset and get it going for a few days but it has stopped working again. Believe there is an issue with the control panel.
Kenmore Elite Oasis Washer - We have always bought Sears Kenmore appliances, and purchased the maintenance contract. The repairmen that have been sent out on a lid locking problem have not been able to resolve this issue. This started in August, and the last two appointments have been cancelled the day of the appointment (when my wife called the 800 number to find out what time the repairman would be at our house). Currently the laundry room is stinking, the entire first floor of our home because the water is stagnant and will not drain. The 800 number has made an appointment for our washer to be repaired on December 8th. This is the longest we have ever had to wait the first floor of our home should really smell great by then.
Washes clothes well and is easy to operate. Doesnt go off balance as easily as some of the other washers I have had in the past and is relatively quiet. Washer can fit quite a bit into it. I wash my childrens bed sheets and pillow cases in them without a problem (I do however bring our comforters to a laundromat for the extra large washers.) My washer is a nice bright white color and has a clean elegant but not too fancy look to it. Doesnt have a ton of buttons or options to confuse you with. Its easy to operate, even my children can run the washer which is always a plus! I shopped around for the best value around my local shops. I found this washer, read some online reviews on it. This was within my budget and Im very happy with my choice so far.
Best washer Ive ever had! Consistently cleans well and is very energy efficient. Also is pretty quiet while operating. It’s small enough to fit anywhere but large enough to hold a decent load of laundry. Operates consistently well, always cleans all the laundry perfectly. Ive never had to have it repaired in the entire time Ive had it. I can always count on my clothes coming out fresh and clean every time I wash them. This model is small and sleek, fits basically anywhere. Its neutral in color so it matches any room you need to put it in. Its certainly one of the most visually attractive models Ive come across. This washing machine is a good value price wise when you buy it, but it continues to be a good value in that you dont have to deal with a lot of repairs, and it wont cost a lot energy wise.
My washer has been very durable however the renewal of the warranty is not affordable. I love the washer chosen because of being old fashioned. It has the agitator inside. The control panel is also very easy and understandable.
Kenmore washer would not turn on. I waited 4 days for a service tech. He ordered a part that took approximately 3 weeks to get. Another service tech showed up 4 days after the part was delivered to my house. He installed the part, we did a load of laundry and the washer flooded two rooms of my basement. I called Kenmore to tell them the issue and they told me they can send out somebody 6 days from now. They also connected me with a claims department that said they cant look at my house for 2 days. Now, I have no washer and my wife and I will spend 3 days cleaning our basement. These were all warranty work. I was offered a 1-year service agreement for my inconvenience.
Purchased a Kenmore washer from Sears for $399.99 1 year+4 months ago. Service tech. says transmission has gone out. To repair, Sears wants $502.56 + service call of $79; $581.56 to repair a washer they sell new for $399. There are only two of us in this household (me 70 and my wife 68). We dont do a lot of laundry. This machine is a piece of junk. DO NOT buy Kenmore!
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.
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?
My washer worked fine before the recall. It took 4 months for the technician to come out and he changed the panel, which I told him worked fine and please save it for me, just in case (we live in a small town). Well sure enough, it hasnt worked properly and keeps giving me an unbalanced load error code. It keeps filling with water and draining, 2.5 hours the first time before I stopped it and put it on Drain and Spin and continually have to monitor it with every wash. Yesterday, I put it on the recommended Clean cycle with just a cup of bleach and it ran 5.5 hours, until 10:30 pm, still with the unbalanced error code, no clothes,etc. until I finally just turned it off. The tech who called and said he would be out last week never showed up or called. I am going to call the national Sears customer service (1-800-549-4505) line again and complain, not much hope for help with this problem though. Is there a class action case?
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.
Washer twisted clothes almost from the beginning. After a period of time washer would be unbalanced. Replaced the suspension rods and found out there was a recall for that problem.
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.
I have a Kenmore energy star, he washer, it is very efficient, reliable and one of the best washers I have ever owned. This wash machine is very easy to operate, with multiple settings. I am very happy with the extra large capacity size & clothes are always spun well. Also love the fact that it detects size/weight of wash & determines length of wash cycle.
The performance was above and beyond expectation. It always works perfect without a hitch, very quiet also. I love it so much. It is super, super, super reliable. I have never had any problems out of it. I would recommended it to everyone I know. Because it is that amazing. It looks great. It sounds great. There are no problems with this very washer at all. It doesnt consume space and it is not tacky at all. And cost effective. It is by far the best for the price. Especially seeing how it looks small but it really spacious on the inside. You can fit so much clothes in it so the value is worth it.
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.
The Kenmore washer makes evenly wash with spin clothes come out clean. I recommend this washer to all. It is the best on the market, well worth the price you pay last for years. Its warranty is for years and its reliability is the best on the market. I recommend this washer for those who wash clothes every day use. Its durable. The design of its appearance is different from any other washer compatible and I love the way it looks. Love this washing machine. Its worth the cost. Money back guaranteed if you think it is not the best. Love the shape, design, the compatibility, how it works with small medium large loads of clothes. I recommend to all who wash clothes.
Kenmore 700 series washer - Love it. Works great. Delivered when they said they would. Professional people and faultless install. Saves water. Tells me to the minute how long the wash will take so I can plan other things. Only question is that since I use non default settings all the time I was wondering if I could reset the defaults. I searched and couldnt find that answer.
Sears was having a no interest promo on appliances & I desperately needed a new washer. Salesman talked me into the Series 500 (Model 25132) claiming it was the best & extremely energy efficient. Since my purchaser, my clothes always come out with soap stains, tangled in 1 huge heap and not to mention, still dirty. I only use recommended detergent, in recommended doses, load as instructed in the manual... But same story every time. After dealing with this for about a year, Ive learned to automatically redistribute after every wash, then wash again and then re-rinse EVERY SINGLE LOAD. And I guess its energy efficient because it uses NO WATER. It merely dampens the clothes. And there is no option to add water.I have never written a complaint about any product I have ever purchased but this truly is a horrible product & I regret buying it every time I do laundry. And to top it off, the salesman at Sears, after saying that this machine was eligible for no interest (as it was ONE DOLLAR less than their minimum), casually told me - after he processed the transaction - that it was not. I asked to please check with a manager, who he called, and the manager, without even allowing me to speak, dismissed me & my purchase and walked away. Never. Again. I realize there is nothing that can be done at this point - I just thought this might help someone else avoid this disaster of a product.
Excellent product that gets my clothes the cleanest. Has different settings for temperature and cycles. Its energy saving also so its not too expensive. Always reliable to wash my clothes. Never had any issues with it breaking down. This is the best product Ive ever owned. Ill be definitely buying another in the future. Nice, sleek design that matches my other appliances. Very easy to maintain. I also like how the door in the front opens making it easier to load clothes into. Excellent value for the money spent. It helps save money with the energy saving feature. Im going to recommend this product to my family and friends so they can see how great this product is.
My Kenmore Elite top loading washer does not adequately submerge my clothes, especially comforters in the bulky/bedding setting with water. Nor does it agitate and move the clothes around to wash them. The drum simply goes back-and-forth so the same clothes that were on the top at the beginning of the cycle are still on the top at the end of the cycle. Bulky items never change position at all. Furthermore, I do not use bleach, but the bleach container has eroded and rusted all around it. I am not satisfied with how this washes my clothes.
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.
It washes the clothes really well and is very quiet. However you cant add anything once it starts which can be inconvenient at times. I seem to always find a stray towel. The Kenmore washer is very durable. I have not had any problems with it performance wise since I bought it. Everything looks like it was made very solid and built to last. The Kenmore washer has a very modern and trendy look. I really like the glass front door. It is especially nice if your home is like mine and you dont have a traditional laundry room. It was a bit pricier than some of the other models I was looking at but overall for the features and look I think it was a very good deal.
Kenmore Elite Front Load Washer - Mold in the washer caused by design defect. Model Number 79641572210. Sears refuses to resolve this issue.
One of the best machines Ive ever owned. Cleans with very minimal water consumption. You spend half the amount of time doing laundry. It is very energy efficient as well. This machine is very reliable. It is Made by one of the best manufacturing companies in the industry. Very quiet while washing clothes. Never had any problems with my purchase of the product. The overall appearance of machine is appealing. It comes in a multitude of colors to choose from. All controls and buttons are well placed. Has alarm to confirm when finished. The perceived value is nice. The quality of product you would expect to pay more for. You can get a great deal when purchased as a set. Overall Im very pleased with the price. Model of a quality brand.
I bought a new Kenmore washer two months ago and I have never been so aggravated with a washer in all my life. My clothes are not being cleaned and there is never enough water to rinse them. I have to wait 40 minutes for the load to wash them and then re-rinse them on the rinse cycle. I am asking how this can save me time and money? I had a plain Kenmore washer (no bells and whistles) that lasted me 18 years and finally quit. How I would love to have it back. This new washer will never be the washer my old one was. I am planning to contact the dealer and return it. Too bad I did not read all the bad reviews before I purchased this machine. I would like to know why we, the consumers, have to throw away hard-earned money for products that do not work? I will not ever purchase another Kenmore washer.
Very good. Works like a charm. Perfect. Recommended to all friends. Truly amazing. Wouldnt trade for the world. Blue and black with silver knobs and five purple light buttons. Great for everyday clothing needs. Absolutely astonishing. It was recommended to me. It works really good. I love it. Friends love it. Everyone loves it. Its fabulous. Very nice value.
This is the most efficient washer I have had. It has the perfect settings for any laundry you need to wash and I like how the settings are set up on the dial. The clothes come out so clean. I would recommend this brand to everyone. Makes washing enjoyable. It is very reliable. It always does the job needed to do depending on what setting I need and the clothes come out perfect every single time. I also love that I am able to put in a large load if need be so I dont waste energy. It is white, so easy to clean and fits perfect in the area where my laundry room is. It fits with all my other appliances as everything matches. The settings and controls are so sleek that it makes me feel like I have made a great investment. It was expensive but worth the cost because of the fact it uses less water and less energy so I am actually saving money. So even though it was expensive it is worth the price.
It was given to me as a gift. It was used previously from a family member and lasted a long time. It was very quiet and the load cycle finished quickly. It was a very reliable washer and it lasted a very long time. I never really had any problems with it and I recommend it to my friends and family. Its appearance was really nice and it didnt take up much room. It was easy to clean and kept a clean new look after a little cleaning now and then. It was a reasonable price for the quality of the washer and was worth every penny it cost. I was completely satisfied with the value of the washer.
I had this washer for probably too many years, and my clothes were always fresh and even large loads were cleaned throughout. It was streamlined in appearance. The white was crisp and clean and aesthetically appealing. But one day it just quit, and nothing could save it. My washer stopped draining water and emptying liquid detergent (which was okay, just pop in little detergent pods) after a few years of use, but until that point it was just fine. I paid a hefty amount for the set, under the assumption that it would be worth it with the warranty I had, however, it was too good to be true and that enormous price tag made a huge impact.
This was purchased in 2016 for about $1300.00 USD. This year, 2018, an error began showing on the display, LE. The error is indicating a motor failure. Our 2010 Kenmore Toploader still works fine, never had any issues with it. Moving on, Kenmore telephone support was both unhelpful and rather brash in nature, whilst I was polite at all times. The representative was uncaring, had no positive or helpful information, other than to provide the cost of the motor at $62.73 USD. When I asked for the cost to install the motor, $99.99 to look at the washer and give an estimate on the repair cost! Any company is fully aware of the time necessary to install a part such as a motor, yet Kenmore wants $99.99 to tell you how much they will bleed you for the repair. In short, this washer is an expensive pile of junk, so avoid Kenmore products, they are now low-quality junk for high-dollar prices. I wish I could say I am not an owner as they suckered me out of hard-earned money. I will never buy another Kenmore product in this lifetime.
I called about my Kenmore Elite HE5t Steam Washer. It keeps going into a SUD, then within a few minutes it goes into an F35 error. I talked with Sears and they told me the only thing they could do is send a repairman to my house to look at it. The cost is $129 plus the part. The part is a water level switch, it costs $85 dollars. It was on back order at the time I looked it up and I will have to wait one week for the part. When it came in, they then told me to call Whirpool. I did, they reconnected me to Sears. It was no surprise since it is an ongoing problem with this model and I have seen it on a few websites already, including this one. They need to recall this product.
The washer is easy to work, gets clothes clean, is reliable and has lasted a long time. It was a great price and has given no problems. It works every time. Never gives any problems of any kind. It is very plain to look at but it gets the job done. It offers all the cycles I want or need. Well its value is that it was inexpensive enough so I could buy it. I have a washer at my home so I dont have to go anywhere to get the wash done...which is a hassle. It works great and gets the job done.
Two weeks after I received the washer, it stopped adding water. The repair man came out and put a new part on it and it worked for another week. Then it stopped draining water. The repair man came out again and said he had to order parts, as these were not kept in stock. When he finally finished with the repairs, he said that I had a new machine again, as he replaced everything including the motor. He told me that it would have been cheaper if the Company would have just replaced it.
Im among the hundreds of thousands of owners that have experienced the poor design these machines have. (Google F35 error and youll see listings for several youtube videos which have thousands of views explaining the problem with these washers). There is a pressure sensor that is notorious for generating bad pressure reading and generating the dreaded SUDS and F35 error codes requiring frequent replacement of this $150 sensor. Poor engineering, or perhaps a scheme to generate recurring part sales. I will NEVER again buy a Kenmore product.
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 would recommend it simply because it is a Kenmore and thats the only brand I will ever own because I have never had a problem with any Kenmore appliances that I have purchased over the years. This is a very reliable washer because it gets the job done in half the time and is very easy to use and operate. My washer has a full load of clothes done in fifteen minutes. Overall I would recommend this product to anyone. The appearance of this washer is simple and the exterior surface is easy to clean with a sponge and cleaning spray. I always wipe my washer down after every use so it doesnt have a huge build up of dust since its in the basement. Very good value for the price. I only paid $200 for mine and it works just as good as the newer and overpriced high efficiency appliances which almost always break down at some point. In my honest opinion, older styles get the job done quicker than high efficiency pieces of crap.
Its quiet. It makes our clothes fluffy and we enjoy wearing our clean clothes. It has lasted through some mistakes with overloading or the wrong settings and its still working just like new. It is large enough to hold all of our loads as long as the kids do not throw in any extras. Its tough on dirt too. Sleek, modern with a unique style and looks great in our house. The color works well. It goes with everything. The white has not gotten dirty like I expected. I expected our machine to fall apart after a few months because the price was very reasonable but most appliances fall apart if they are cheap, but not this.
We purchased a Kenmore top-loading high efficiency clothes washing machine June 2013 in order to be more eco-friendly and save on the amount of water used. Although I always use the extra rinse to make sure any detergent is washed away, there has often been a white residue deposited on dark clothes. I use the HE All detergent. Over the plus year-and-a-half there has never been a problem with mold because I always leave the lid up and also sponge away any liquid left in the dispensing cups. What can I do about this white residue left on my dark clothes?
I purchased the Kenmore Washer 100 series 4 month ago and I simply hate it. It has a supposed sensor for the water level and this is useless. It works for a very small load but even when the washer is only half full it does not add enough water. Yesterday I washed a bed spread that filled the washer about 3/4 and only the bottom of the spread was covered in water. I had to add 3 buckets of water to submerge the spread. Then when it rinses the lid locks therefore no chance to add water. Why should I be adding water anyway? In the past I have always bought Kenmore appliances. I will no longer.
I regularly use my washer and after a few days of testing different settings, Ive found the perfect settings for me. After that, this washer has never failed to get the job done. Since I live by myself, this washer is able to comfortably for all of my clothing items with extra room to spare. This makes the washing process easy for the machine and prevents it from getting congested. The appearance is rather minimalist and does not possess any fancy designs. I like this type of design because it helps the machine match any types of surroundings and not bring too much attention to itself. While lacking some features of the most cutting-edge washers, this machine is economical because it gets all the basic needs accomplished efficiently at a fairly reasonable price point.
Sears (Whirlpool) washer model 110 261 132411 - I purchased this washer in Oct 2016. I went back to the store to complain about the noise when the washer is filling with warm water. The washer bangs the hot and cold pipes off and on over 20 times to get warm water??? The noise is ridiculous and is annoying not only to me but to my townhouse neighbor. I have checked the pipes and they are secure to the boards. I had a service person check things out and he said they could do nothing and it was my problem. I have never had such a problem with a washer. I have always liked Kenmore products but after this I will go to Samsung.
This is the best washer ever. It runs all day and night without an issue. Even heavy loads seems to get really clean. Dirt comes out and everything is shiny and white. The washer is very reliable and has lasted a long time for me and my family. I suggest anyone who wants this washer to buy one. The gears are really nice. I wish there were other models which were not so white and shiny because it makes everything else look dirty. Please make a duet colored washer. Id pay a little over $100 for this washer again if I wasnt flat broke.
For 75 days I have had a Kenmore washer that has not worked properly. I waited one month for a repairman to say it is broken. A month later a repairman came. The part shipped was damaged. A new part arrived a week later. After four hours, they installed the part only to break another one. Now waiting for a repairman this Friday. I cant use my machine at all now. The Helpline says they cant help.
It has a great speed and wash cycle very quiet. It does not shake at all. It is very easy to use. I even let my mother use my washer and she loves it. My mother-in-law also comes and tries it out, and now she is going to buy her one because it is easy to open the door and load the washer. It washes the clothes really well. Great and clean easy to put the detergent in the slot. It’s got plenty of room for the clothes to spin and wash. Easy to manage, easy for people to use.
Great product that works extremely well and is very quiet. Very energy efficient and allows me to do large loads without any problems. As far as reliability this machine is perfect. It can handle very large loads and is very quiet while running and it can handle all of the abuse of teenagers using it to do their own clothes without supervision. The controls are very high tech looking but very easy to navigate and use. This is an extremely great and affordable value for this machine. It works just as well as the top end machines but you do not have to pay an arm and leg for it.
It wash all my clothes. Come out clean, smelling good, fresh scent. No dirt left on the shirt after work done. Not overflowing. Just washing clothes. You can overfill it and it keeps working wash after wash. Just dont put too much soap and it will overflow if you do. Love it. I will buy one again when I need to buy one in the future. It fits almost anywhere. Its well worth the money. It comes with a warranty money back if something goes wrong with it but it wont. It work good.
This is a nice washer. Works well, uses less water and it gets all my clothes clean. Different settings to use, including a short wash. Saves electricity. This washer is really easy to use. Have had it for a while and never had any problems with it. Can not complain about anything. It fits a whole queen bed set, including comforter, sheets and pillow cases. Does a great job cleaning clothes even when loaded fully. Towels are usually heavy so I was worried filling the washer up all the way, but this washer can deal and clean everything. I wash hot. They come out very clean and are soft after drying. I do not need to use extra detergent, just the recommended amount of liquid, or pods. It does look nice. If dust gets on there I can easily wipe it clean with a damp cloths. Color is white but not really bright. Love the front load. I ordered this item online and used a coupon code and a rebate site, so I received a discount on it. I did not overpay and I am happy I got such a good deal on this washer.
It has lasted me longer than any other washing machine. It washes my clothes very clean. I repaired it one time in fifteen years. I also use other things from Kenmore. I have told other family members about my experience with Kenmore.
Kenmore is a good brand with good quality. Its fast, fast-drying and clothes come out fresh and dry even with the short period of time of drying. I love the simplicity but with good performance and its durable. Its easy to operate without reading the manual. I also love the size, it has more space inside, and you can put in more clothes. I highly recommend this brand and I assure you, you will love this brand, and you will not regret your decision of choosing this brand.
During the time we used this washer, I was completely happy with its performance. It got my clothes clean and I had no issues whatsoever. It didnt have all the bells and whistles that todays washers have, but I feel like they werent necessary. The washer was reliable and got the job done! Our old washer lasted for years. I dont remember ever having to call the repairman. I never had a minutes stress at having to find somewhere else to wash my clothes. Id put in the clothes, detergent, press the buttons and the washer did its job! The washer had a quality look to it. It was simple, without a lot of dashboard buttons, and I liked the clean, white finish and simplicity of the machine. I definitely was proud to own this washer. The Kenmore washer we owned was a great value for the purchase price. It wasnt a high end purchase, but suited to our budget, and because of the way it performed, I would not have needed to spend any extra money to get what I wanted.
Kenmore front load washer mcl 417-42042100 - This washer is less than 10 years old and I have had to replace the rear tub section twice because the bearing and seal went out. A $177 part just because a $8 bearing and seal went out, the bearing is not sold separately. The last time I replaced this part, the rear tube section, was about 3 months ago. A short time after I put the new rear tube section along with new shock absorbers it started making loud noises (banging) and vibrating very bad. When I took it apart I discovered that two of the legs of the drum support assembly had broken which also caused the front tub to be broken. The drum support assembly is not listed separately on the parts sheet. It is part of the drum cost $313 and the front tub section is $171. The rear section is about $177 and I have replaced it twice and the shock absorbers once at $57. So the scrap man got the washer and I got a new one, this time a top load. I wouldnt buy a front load washer again. As best I can tell they are all of similar design. Kenmore doesnt make anything. They have someone else make them and put the Kenmore logo on them. Not sure but this washer might be made by Samsung for Kenmore. I would not recommend buying this washer or any front load washer.
Series 700 top loading washer - Ive never been more disappointed in a purchase. These claim to be efficient water saving devices but you have to do 6 times the number of loads if you want your clothes to be cleaned. I purposely put very few articles into the wash because I want them to actually come out clean and over and over again they come out dirty, as if they were simply wet down and spun around. We did have an old style, center agitator Whirlpool that did use more water but CLEANED 6 times the amount of laundry in one load! That washer cost us $75 and lasted 14 years. This new Kenmore cost $700 and has been nothing but disappointment.
Kenmore Series 500 Wash Machine: Bought this machine over a year ago after my old Kenmore wash machine died. In summary: Its A LEMON. Does not put in enough water to cover clothes, no matter what setting I use and I have had nothing but trouble with it. Ive had the repair service come out 3 times now and Sears will still not put in a new sensor even though the express setting doesnt work at all and the lid stays in lock mode from time to time. **I HAVE TO ADD WATER WITH A HOSE RUNNING FROM MY GARAGE SINK TO GET ENOUGH WATER INTO THE MACHINE TO PROPERLY WASH MY CLOTHES**. I figured this out when I first got the machine and my clothes smelled like I had just pulled them out of a dirty hamper after running them through the wash and dry. Advice? Save your money, do your research and buy and better machine.
Its good services that can provide a good work on all clothes no matter how tough the dirt is on clothes. It always work. Best for me to use around the house. I would not choose another one due to the fact it might not work as well as this washer. It can handle any detergent and it would last for a long time. Its best to use when you have a lot of dirty clothes. It would be a whole lot better to use and then you should be able to upgrade to a newer model.
I have a Kenmore Elite Front-loader. My feeling is that clothes do not come clean, therefore 2 hour cycles necessary. The machine has been reliable. It is nicely designed, but I would not purchase another front-loader given my overall experience.
It worked great. We bought it a while ago and it still runs like new. We have a family of 5 and it works great. We use it every day. Wouldnt trade it for anything. So reliable we havent had any issues with it even with daily use for a family of 5. We have 3 dogs and it does great with the dog hair also. So cute. Fits in with all of our appliances. Love the design and load capacity. Its just the right size and the display is easy to read. I think its an excellent deal for what we paid. It has every feature we wanted at an affordable price. Great brand for your buck. The load size and look was cheap compared to other brands.
I have a 3.5 year old HE5T Steam Kenmore Elite front load washer. After the error of sud and f35, we bought a new pressure switch and replaced it for $100. I turned the machine on thinking this would solve the problem, only to now have f21 error coming up. I cleaned traps and checked the lines. Now I am looking at a new pump for $140. Are you kidding me? This is ridiculous. Needless to say, we are purchasing a new washer from a local dealer, not Sears. And, you can bet it wont be a Kenmore! How disappointing to feel this ripped off.
I purchase this washer about 3-4 years ago and the problem of rust is getting worst. The rust started after 1 year on the lid then it accelerated to inside and now the rust stays on most of the clothes I wash. When we look inside with a flashlight, we see that inside is all rusted and peeling off. I have a baby coming. When I tried to wash the babys clothes the rust stays on the clothes and its hard to take out. I had to rewash them by hand. Im really frustrated since we follow the manual very well to take care of this machine. I cant believe this will happen to a 3-4 years old washer since my mom is currently using a Maytag for over 10 years and it still works fine without rust. I hope to have it repair by Sears as soon as possible.
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.
