We purchased a Kenmore series 300 washing machine in September 2015. It was our first Kenmore we have ever purchased in over 55 years. The machine is terrible. The tub design causes the machine to vibrate severely even with medium loads. It doesnt clean the clothes very good and my wife has to run clothes through the rinse cycle at least twice and even then there is soak in the clothes. We would definitely not recommend Kenmore to anyone, especially this machine.

We bought a 110 series Kenmore washer in Jan 2013. Last week we noticed it was slowly dripping water into the tub. I researched and investigated everything and found out it is likely the inlet water valve. So I bought a new one for $50 and will replace it myself since it is easy to do. Were still very dissatisfied though. Our last Kenmore 110 washer lasted almost 20 years without a single repair before the motor burned out. Thats why we bought another Kenmore but maybe we were just lucky with that one.

I purchased a Kenmore laundry center last year. Quality was clearly not good but I felt OK about the price. After 13 months, 1 month after the warranty expired, the units control board failed locking my laundry in the washer and remaining in a permanent agitate cycle which was incredibly agitating. Estimated repair cost exceeded $600. I learned my lesson about buying cheap crap: you get what you pay for. I am junking the Kenmore and going for a quality unit like Bosch.

This machine worth $1,000 is a joke. In five years, we have had nothing but problems. They will not fix it, but it is on the recall list. They want me to buy another warranty. What a shame. Now, I need to buy a new washer.

Very easy to use. Cleaned clothes really good. Never had any problems with it. Would recommend it to friends and family. Had for different types of clothing and water temperature.

Kenmore Washer 800 is Crap. Ive only had this washer for 5 years, well actually less than 5 years. Three years in, it required a new control module, and now, it needs it again. The module is about 45 dollars and the service call is $90 to have a repairman come out. All three of my Kenmore appliance either have been replaced or repaired numerous times.

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.

I love that I can fit so much in one load. The quick wash cleans my clothes as well as the other settings in half the time and its quiet! This washer has been through accidental shoes, keys, over fills, and its fare share of loose change but its never lost a sock. Never had any issues with it. Always worked well so I cant complain. I wash heavy blankets, winter coats, rugs and heavy loads of jeans... They always come out very clean. Its a washer... Its cube like, mostly white, shiny too! I perceive this washer to be of high value.

I had bought very expensive towels and it took only washing them 4 times and they were shredding and falling apart. Then my washer frequently has uneven loads so often I will get frustrated and just go to the laundromat. I dont understand my parents have the same one and theirs does not do either one of these. Why???

I bought an $800 High Efficiency, 4.8 cf capacity washer (Paid $569.00 on sale and it some of the worst money spent) to wash the blankets I make. The machine rolls them into mushrooms and dumps any dirt, hair, etc. on top in a ring. Uses so little water that even on deep fill the clothes are NEVER covered with water. Socks come out looking like they were just worn. I have to spray all socks or they dont get even partly clean. Wont get sweat out unless you use an additive and if you use more than 1/8th cup of detergent, the machine will run for hours. The only way to get water to cover the clothes is to add it. I have to pour three gallons of water in if I want clean clothes. Sears repairman said many of his customers keep a bucket by the machine to add water. There is no deep fill for permanent press or half the other cycles so permanent press is never really clean. DONT ever use bleach as it stays in the washer and ruins the following loads. You cant re-spin if it doesnt get the clothes dry enough, without using a rinse cycle.Quite an experience if it goes out of balance. Getting it to stop spinning means stopping the machine, waiting for the door to unlock and dodging the machine as it takes time to respond. By the way, unless you buy a service contract, if Sears decides its working properly, you have to pay per the Department head at the Sears I bought the machine from. Avoid at all costs. Keep the old one running until you cant buy parts.

I purchased a Kenmore He Washer, stainless steel drum, in 2019. Can I say I hate this washer? Because I do. I have always purchase appliances from Sears and have been pleased. Because of just a few months with this washer, I will never purchase another appliance, of any type, from Sears again. The washer does not fill with any temperature other than extra hot and cold. Washing on extra hot adds one hour to the wash time. Setting the temp to warm or hot yields cold water only. The service tech, sent by Sears, was rude, incompetent and clueless. Couldnt fix anything regarding the temps. Clothes come out ridiculously wrinkled, no matter the water temp or spin level. I have never had to iron clothes with any previous washers. This is a junk machine. Dont buy any He washers from Sears. TERRIBLE!!!!

I love how the washer is not loud and that it is very fast washing my clothes. I love the style and how it look and how it fit right in with my house. Meets all my needs. I wash all my clothes with cold water but I love how clean my clothes comes out and fast it take to wash them. I love all the different power setting. Have a very nice look and style to it. Makes my home feel like an home. Very nice in details. I love a white clean look like I have. And its very nice and dont take up too much room. Have good value and very quiet so you will not hear nothing. So if you want to watch tv in your living room you can and dont feel like you hearing your washer over anything.

The Kenmore washer gave me great, dependable service for the 8 years I owned it. We were a family with 3 children so it definitely got a good workout thru those years. This brand has been recommended in our extended family for many years. The appliances are very durable and reliable, providing excellent service for a very active family! We have found that Kenmore appliances are also very reasonably priced for the quality and service that they provide.

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.

I bought a new Kenmore washer 7/2011. It will not rinse in the normal and heavy duty cycles but rinses normally in the casual cycle. The repairman was prompt and knowledgeable – no complaints there but he told me that was what the washing machine was programmed to do. So, I am only able to wash laundry on the casual cycle in this new machine. Someone, please explain that to me! I will never buy another one from Sears!

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.

This washer works well because it has many adjustable settings so that you can choose the wash cycle that would be best for your load of laundry. The drum can hold a large load of clothing, so that way you dont have to do many loads, but can do one large load. Its very reliable. Ive had this washer for 8 years and its still going strong. It has yet to give me any sort of trouble. It is durable, and long-lasting. The appearance of this washer is good. Its very clean and simple looking, and easy to understand. The layout of the knobs and dials are well laid out so that anyone would be able to understand how to start a load of laundry. This is a valuable piece of machinery. Not only is it affordable, but it is well worth the price. It is sturdy and reliable, and can wash a heap-load of laundry.

The washer is great. I thought I would have problem with it like my previous washer but I am so happy with it performance. Its fast. I put like 3 loads a day and they only take like 30-1 hour. Its amazing! This is one of the best washers I have ever bought. I have always been scared that the washer will give up on me or one day stop working out of nowhere and staying without a washer. This washer is very reliable. I am pleased with the color of my washer but I do wish there were other colors of it. Maybe a black or even grey one. I believe they only offer it in white which is not bad but it would be nice to see it in other colors. The design is great, it is too extravagant or complicated. As I have been saying before, I am extremely satisfied with this washer. The value of it was just right. What I mean with that is that I paid a pretty good darn price for an amazing quality.

The washer has a small basin, works well for small loads. Rinse cycle if you forget to place in fabric softener you can forget it. Looks great. Washes well. The washer is reliable on small loads. I would not overfill as I have been left with dirt stains. The smaller the load the better. Its just me so I dont mind. The washer is very simple. Not a lot of bells and whistles. Just enough knows not to look too cluttered. Fits in a medium to small space. The value was great, I bought it on sale at Sears. I feel I got a great deal. Nice washer features I needed and didnt pay a lot for it. I would recommend this washer for a single person or just a couple. Too small for a family.

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.

Purchased Kenmore from Sears Appliance Store 2 years ago. 1 week after the normal warranty ended it stopped working. I had purchased an extended warranty. So they diagnosed and ordered a replacement gear box. A week and half later they came and installed it. It was a remanufactured gear box. Immediately it smelled awful, a horrible industrial grease smell. Within a week it was making a horrible noise. We stopped using it and went out and bought a far superior brand, because I had it with Sears and Kenmore. When the old washer was removed, there was oil all over the floor underneath it. So the remanufactured gear box was total garbage, leaking oil from day one. Poor quality doesnt even begin to describe the washer or the replacement parts. No wonder Sears is looking at selling the Kenmore brand. Its worthless.

Today took the cake. Im washing t-shirts and decided to throw in my bedroom slippers. Well, now I will be throwing them away!!! I cant believe what they turned out like. They were pink and now they are half black. Yes, black!!! Who designed this piece of crap!!! Not happy at all and yes I did take pictures! The only reason I decided to wash them was because I figured I would freshen them up before winter. My washer will be one year old in November of this year 2015!!!

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.

The performance was top quality. I loved this machine. It lasted a long time without breaking. It was pretty good to me. I like this brand a lot. The reliability of this machine was excellent. I thought it was just as good as a general electric one. It was awesome for the record. I coud not have asked for more. The washer was a front loading type of washer. It was very strong in handling clothes to wash and it gave us years of great and quality service. What a great washing machine. The price that we paid for this washing machine was just right, it was worth the price that we paid for it.

It is very effective and powerful. It also is fairly quiet. I absolutely would recommend it! This washer is fantastic! It keeps the clothes clean. It is very reliable because with one wash your clothes come out fresh. The washer itself is great in appearance because it looks very modern. It does not look outdated or out of place. It is it necessarily fancy but it looks nice. It does not stick out like a sore thumb. Washers can be pretty expensive. When it comes to price it is true what they say you get what you pay for. In this case you will not be disappointed. It is absolutely worth the value! It will get your clothes cleaned the first time. In the long run that saves you more money.

The washer looks like a typical model: white, top-loading, knobs located on the top panel. Nothing really special overall in the design aspect. But for what I need the washer to do, it works very well. Up to this point, I havent had to have any maintenance on the washer, even after 5 years of use. For people who dont need anything fancy, this model will be a great choice. I can fill quite a large load of laundry and not have any issues with agitation or something not coming out clean. I consistently wash large items, such as towels and sheets, and every item comes out clean. Washer times are fairly short compared to other washers Ive had in the past and the machine is fairly quiet overall when Im on the same floor. But when Im downstairs I can sometimes hear it.

Water level too low, doesnt cover clothes. I wash everything on Bulky/Bedding and that seems to help get clothes cleaner. Months back a sheet wrapped itself around the agitator and it snapped right off. Called Sears and was told they dont have anyone in our area, Sears transferred the call to another company who said they dont have anyone either and I should call Sears. Needless to say, its still not fixed.

The washer was not the best that I have ever used. It did not clean cups or bowls well and after a year it started leaking. I was satisfied until the leaks started. Then I was very unhappy. I live in a three person household and it was fine. I would not recommend this for a big family. Small households the size is fine though. It was kind of ugly but then again so was my whole kitchen. It got dirty easily and was terrible display. I kind of hated it a lot. The washer was overpriced, undersized, and ugly as sin.

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.

High Efficiency how? The washer runs 2x as long and have to (at least) double rinse every load to get HE soap residue off the clothes. It probably uses less water but takes twice as long to do a load.

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.

Only had the washer for 2 years and already broke... Water is leaking from underneath and a very very loud noise on the spin cycle that it sounds like the old wood roller coaster at Cedar Point... My first and last Kenmore product. Went out and got me a Samsung.

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.

I have owned several Kenmore appliances in my life. I have never had much trouble with them. Just the normal wear and tear that you normally go through. Just recently bought a new washing machine because our old one finally kicked the bucket. I had no problem buying another one.

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.

Sears installed new washing machine in August and Sears installer messed up the connection so we had a huge leak (out of plain sight) and lost thousands of gallons of water in California (where we have a drought and are supposed to conserve water). We had over $1000 extra on the water bill and called the specialist from DWP who had discovered this tremendous leak. I called Sears on the 4th of Jan. and they gave me emergency appointments on the 10th while I have a fountain of water gushing out. Sears rep advised not to touch (or fix) it before their technician gets here. Also, they advised me to seek reimbursement from my homeowners insurance (that does not cover damage caused by leaking plumbing) from the home warranty company (Fidelity) that does not want to deal with it either. The actual washing machine (Kenmore Elite) does not function as promised either. It fills out to the top while washing one pair of pants!. On Jan. 7th, I managed to get a Sears technician at my house. He rudely informed me that he couldnt help me as it was a plumbing issue and machine was plumbed in incorrectly (it was delivered, installed and plumbed in by Sears) and I needed to call my plumber. Until then he would not address the washers technical issues. Sears supervisor, Larry, advised me on the phone not to use an outside plumber as the adjuster from Sears, Carly, will contact me and when she sends the inspector, he will evaluate the situation.The time frame for this action is unknown. Meanwhile I am losing 100s of gallons of water in the drought state of CA and 100s of dollars as well. I also cant use the Kenmore Elite machine that costs $900 plus over $1000 in water bill due to incorrect installation by Sears and the bill keeps going up along with wasted water. I need reimbursement for expenses and a new washer properly installed (a simpler cheaper model is okay).Today, Jan. 10th, 2013, I had called the outside plumber to fix the leak as I was losing too much water and the plumber fixed the incorrect installation by Sears and stopped the leak. Sears Technician came to check out the machine, a Kenmore Elite (model #79631512210) that has water settings on Hot, Warm, Eco Warm, Cold, Top Cold. On all of these settings, the water in the machine remains cold, not due to the incorrect connection (it has been corrected by my plumber), but due to the computer board internal setting that regulates how machine would be filled. On Hot setting, it takes about 2 cups of hot water from the Hot hose and follows up with 2-3 gallons of cold water from the Cold hose. As a result, the washing water is cold on the Hot setting! Technician explained to me that in this high efficiency machine, it is normal as it is trying to save my gas-heated water. He said it runs normal and he spent about 5 minutes in my house. The machine could not be normal as it has same cold water temperature on 5 different temperature settings indicated on the panel of this Kenmore machine. I need Sears/Kenmore to change this machine to another one that works as stated on description and instructions. I have no help or response from Sears so far, despite their promise to stand by their promise of quality of product and service.

I washed large loads of laundry at least three times a week. This washers endurance was incredible. Load after load it kept up for quite a few years and never tore any clothes or ruined them. This washer is very reliable. My husband works in a warehouse so we needed a washer that could handle all his grimy clothes but gentle enough for our daughters clothes and this washer was amazing at handling all aspects. Top load white washer with easy control settings for small, medium, large and heavy, light, or gentle load. Crisp white clean design and easy to fit into any regular sized laundry room. I got mine on sale which it practically was a steal. Very affordable for the everyday working adult. It looks like it would cost way more than it does. Amazing quality for a great price.

Simple to use and starts and dries quickly. Kenmore one of the best brands on the market. Very efficient and water and electricity conscious. Like the options. Had for years - never had an issue. Never has needed to be fixed. It dries in proper time. Washer is water efficient. Kenmore offers great warranties and doesnt cost a lot extra for the warranty. ust typical white appliances. Looks not important. It needs to wash and dry which it does. If people are talking about the look of my washer they are nuts. You get what you pay for and more. Kenmore is the best brand on the market. Theyre reliable. They will fix it when it needs to be fixed with the warranties.

My Kenmore washer has never let me down! Its reliable, sturdy, efficient, and easy to use. Whether its light loads or heavy loads, my washer is one of my most valued appliances. My Kenmore washer is the very definition of reliable. Ive never had an item that didnt come clean when using my Kenmore washer, regardless of how dirty it was. This thing is a beast of a machine! My Kenmore washer is an attractive addition to my familys appliances. It has a classic appearance, clean lines, an almost minimalist look but appealing for nearly any decor. I could not recommend my Kenmore washer any higher. Ive never had a situation where I was disappointed in my Kenmore washer. It has stood me in good stead, and withstood anything I can throw at it!

I have one old standard Kenmore washer that has been working and running w/ no issues. Easy to use. No problems. Had it for about 10 yrs now and still running. I think if it ever stops working I will stick to a standard one and not those new ones.

On July 25, 2011, I first called Sears to report that my Kenmore Elite H5t washing machine was not working. The error code was an F35, which means the overflow switch needed to be replaced. An appointment was scheduled for August 3, 2011. My daughter sat home for hours waiting for the tech to arrive, which they never did. They claimed that they called both my home and cell. No such calls were placed, as I have caller ID at home and my cell identifies the phone number. When asked why they never showed up, I was told by Sears Service that the appointment that I received was a forced appointment not a saved. I was a bit taken back by their answer. Wow! I had no idea that an appt took on a totally whole new meaning; where was I when this took place.Anyhow, I had to reschedule another appt for August 10, 2011 and made sure I requested a saved appt this time. I further told Sears Service that there was not only an F35 code but now an F20 code as well, which means an inflow water restrictions. I told Sears that there was no water restriction into the machine nor was there a drop in water pressure. When the Sears Tech arrived on August 10, 2011, he replaced the overflow switch and told my daughter that the machine was fixed. Yet, when I attempted to do a load of wash on August 12, 2011, the machine was showing the F20 again. I called Sears Service again and told them that the Sears Tech never fixed the problem with the F20 on August 10, 2011. Sears Service informed me that there were no notes on my file of the Tech performing a diagnostic test, in which he should have done to determine what was causing the F20 code. So I had to schedule another appt for August 22, 2011. Mind you, I made sure I asked if this appt was a saved or forced appt. I was now told by Sears Service that they had away with the forced appt sometime in the beginning of August 2011. I was like this is unbelievable. When the Sears Tech (Jeff-excellent tech) arrived on August 22, 2011, I told him that I believed that it was the PC Board that needed to be replaced because the display panel was showing all sorts of characters and shapes. He did a diagnostic test and confirmed that the control board did need to be replaced and would order the part and that another Sears Tech would be back on August 31, 2011 to install the control board. I told Jeff that I would be contacting Sears Service to confirm said appt. I did such on August 24, 2011 and all was confirmed with the Sears Service Dept for August 31, 2011.Well, August 31, 2011 came and guess what? Once again, the Sears Tech never showed up or even called leaving my daughter waiting for hours again. By this point, I was livid and demanded to speak with a Sears Service Manager. The Manager apologized and offers me a laundry credit for every 7 days that Im unable to use my machine but fails to tell me that there is a cap on this laundry credit of $100. I informed the Manager that the time constrains that Sears places on its customers waiting for a Sears Tech to arrive is unreasonable and especially for people who are key employees of their company cant leave their job or are made to wait for hours for Sears to show up. More so, it put my daughters new job at risk because she had to request 3 separate times off from her job for a Sears appt; of which 2 of the times Sears never showed up and the other time the Tech never fixed the machine. Her employer told her in a joking fashion that she was making a lot of demands for a new employee requesting so much time off. The Sears Service Manager apologized and now offered me a Saturday appt. This was news to me, as I was told in the past that appts were only scheduled between Monday-Friday.Now an appt for Saturday, September 10, 2011 was scheduled for a Sears Tech to install the control board between 8am-12pm. At 9:37am the morning of my appt, Sears left a message on my home phone that they were experiencing a high volumes of delays in the field and would not be at my home during the scheduled time but later. I immediately contacted Sears Service requesting to speak with a Manager but each time I was disconnected. By the fourth call, Sears Service assured me that I would not be disconnected. Well, they did not disconnect me. However, what they did was, instead of connecting me to a Manager, they connected me to another irate customer that was also holding for a Manager.I finally gave up! The Sears Tech (Jeff) finally came that day and replaced the control board and did a complete diagnostic test of the entire machine and told me that all was good. I proceeded to do wash by the third load the machine was now displaying an F17 code. I contacted Jeff on his cell and informed him of this error code F17. He told me that there is no such thing as an F17 with this washing machine. I was like Jeff I do know how to read and it says F17. I took a picture my washing machine with the F17 code flashing for proof (date and time of picture was 9/10/11 @ 5:37pm). Jeff told me to stop the machine and restart the wash cycle, I did and the same thing again an F17; the wash just stops in the middle/end of the cycle leaving the machine full of water with wet clothes. Jeff told me that I would have to make another appt with Sear Service.At this point, I am so livid, I contacted Sear Service and told them to just give me a new machine and be done with it already. They informed me of their lemon law that the machine has to have 4 separate problems within a 12 month prior, before they will even consider replacing it. Heres the kicker, ultimately even after the 4th time, its up to their discretion if they want to replace the machine or not. I am so done with Sears!

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.

I put a twin sized comforter in the Kenmore Elite Series 700 washer by itself because it had throw up on it. I washed it under the bulky/bedding option and selected all of the options it would allow me to (prewash, fabric softener, rinse twice, and stain boost- I would have selected deep fill as well but it wont allow you to when you are running the bulky/bedding setting) and it still had throw up caked up on it when I took it out!!! ALL OF MY CLOTHES HAVE STAINS ON THEM NOW BECAUSE THIS WASHER DOES NOT WASH! I talked to the people at SEARS about this and they agreed that something must be wrong with it since it came out with throw up still on it and told me to have a service guy come look at it. So I did and the guy told me himself that he agrees that the top load agitator-less washers dont clean worth crap. He said this model here is not made for washing blankets or comforters or rugs or pillows- its just not made for that- it wont get them clean so I asked him if it says that it doesnt wash blankets (...etc.) anywhere in the description of the product because had it said that we would not have bought it (for 650$!) because we wash a lot of those things and need them to actually get clean!!! And you know what he had the audacity to say to me?!? He said well ya- just like it doesnt specifically say that you cant wash concrete blocks in it neither. So I said ok but who would even try to wash concrete blocks? He then said its just a common sense thing. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!? Instead of admitting that they have been selling a less than perfect appliance and showing some integrity by making things right, they are getting over on us all and will Im sure go out of business soon here. I will be suing.

It is adjustable for cold to hot water, fabric settings, large capacity for clothes, and works very well in all situations. I love the way it works and would recommend it to everyone. Kenmore is a great brand and things work the way they should, no problems so far. I can count on Kenmore washers to do the best job for my clothes and I do not need a more expensive brand. The Kenmore washer is very modern model and cleans up very well, has a color that matches any decor you have in mind and looks good too. I just love it. The Kenmore model value is great price, good for heavy and light loads of laundry. You cannot get a better value than this machine. It works great.

I have this Kenmore 500 Series washing machine. I wash tons of clothes all the time. Ive even switch to washing small loads. My clothes are never clean. They come out, they smell bad, the towels stink all the time because they cant agitate and wash. The water just runs through them and comes back out. It doesnt move the clothes and no theres nothing wrong with my washing machine. Its not broken. It just sucks. Dont buy this product. I think you guys should recall these washing machines.

In 2011, my family bought a Kenmore washing machine. Since our purchase, the area around the bleach dispenser has began to rust quite noticeably. It is currently 2013 and I contacted Sears with my complaint and as usual they said this problem is not covered. To top it off, I had the extended warranty and still no help from Sears. Sears is quick to sell you an extended warranty to make more money off from you but they back nothing. Years ago, I bought a rototiller from Sears and found the transmission was locked up on it once I got it home. Rather than refund my money, they proceeded to put in 3 additional transmissions to no avail. They would not refund my money and today Im stuck with a piece of junk rototiller.

Kenmore washer model 110 - I purchased this washer on Dec. 11, 2015. Was told this is their most popular washer, can wash a king sized comforter, energy saver. Got it delivered and started using. From the very start it did not clean my husbands jeans and t-shirts. I have always Shouted the stains on his work clothes, washed them in cold water and always came clean, but this washer takes at least 1.5 times as long to wash and they come out just as dirty as they went in!!! I started trying different wash options which only add more time to cycle and still no difference. I called Sears and told them I was dissatisfied with the washer and was told I have had it longer than 30 days, and I wouldnt be able to return. I called service who came to check machine and was told that there was no errors showing. Nothing he can do. I am so mad. Paid a lot of money for a washer that doesnt wash, and I have to send my husband to work with dirty clothes!

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.

This HE washer is built like a truck and has been consistently reliable for the past nine years. It offers water settings from light to heavy loads with the options of extended spin and double rinse. There are five settings for water temperature from cold to very hot. It is quiet in operation and easy to clean. I have never needed a service call.

Rusting washing machine lid and around bleach dispenser. Faulty cycle selector. Beeping when machine powered on, fills with water, when lid locks.

We bought the machine about 5 years ago. After the first year, it started giving me error. Went on internet and it said it was door switch problem. Ordered one and put it in, no difference. The next advice was to replace a board. I reset the wires and it worked fine for months. Then started again. So have to reset the wires regularly now. Then it started dumping water on the floor about every 4-5 loads. Am looking for a solution. Im 77 and its hard for me to do repairs now.

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.

Its very easy to use, affordable, great quality and gets the job done right. The best washer Ive owned. The Kenmore washer is very reliable. At the rate its going I wouldnt be surprised if it lasts forever. The best brand out there in my opinion. My Kenmore washer isnt one of the newer fancy models but I still love it. Its not hideous. Just not fancy either. The Kenmore washer I have was definitely worth every penny. Id recommend it to any and everyone whos looking to buy a washer. And they last a long time.

I really love my washer because it isnt loud and disruptive while I am doing other chores or trying to focus on a specific task. Especially when you have small children napping a few rooms over, this is important. I have had no issues with this washer. It cleans my clothes perfectly and I never have to worry that the laundry wont get done due to malfunctions in this model. Its sleek and shiny, this washer is easy to take care of and needs very little cleaning to make it stay that way. I would definitely recommend. It was better than my last machine and I am so very happy with it.

I dont use it often but I do like the machine. It is easy to use. Although I prefer easy button option and more details. I wish it will let me select more option and a timer that I can preset. Also, long years warranty will be nice. But its the brand that I always like. The price and the quality are always nice and reasonable. All my family like the brand, I dont think Ill change it anytime soon. In fact, my mom has just purchased a washing machine, it might be the next thing Im get.

The washers appearance is nothing out of the ordinary and is not too complicated to use. It is very reliable and I use probably 3 times a day. It works great. It washes my clothes really well and I havent had any problems with it since I have bought it. I have never had a washer like it before. It is one of the best washers Ive owned and the value of the washer is well beyond the price. It is totally worth the price I paid and would probably buy another one if anything ever happens to my washer.

Has good size door for easy loading and unloading. Has good selection of cycles to choose from, though I do not use some of them. I really like the ability to choose water temperature for both washing and rinsing. I have had it for over tens years now and it has never once failed me. I have never had any reason to feel it was not completely reliable. I take for granted that it will work properly every time I use it. I have a white model, which I prefer so, I can easily change the laundry room decor if I wish. It is designed well and has not gotten outdated in its look over the past ten years. This washer was an excellent value for me. It has all the features I wanted and more at a more reasonable price than many of the other products I looked at. I did a lot of shopping around and price comparison.

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.

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.

Doesnt drain used water completely leaving sticky, smelly residue in wash after it is dried. To remedy this a prewash without clothes included is required -- very wasteful of water I think. This will be the major consideration at time of purchasing another washer in future. This problem was diagnosed by a sales person on discussion of wash results. I resorted to going to a laundromat outside my home combined with my grocery shopping for large wash load. It has made my washer last longer.

This washer is durable and reliable. It cleans clothes very well yet is gentle on fabrics. Leaves me feeling like it cleaned my clothes thoroughly. Kenmore is a brand I trust. I have owned 2 Kenmore washers in my lifetime. The first one I bought I gave to my daughter and still works today. I wouldnt purchase another brand. Its your typical top loading washing machine in the standard white color. Directions for use are under the lid top. Agitation type tub. This Kenmore washer is very affordable. This specific washer to me was priced to sell. Its a great price for such a wonderful, reliable brand name washer.

For years I always used Kenmore appliances. Several years ago I needed a new washer and strayed from Kenmore after listening to a friend who had purchased another brand. I listened and purchased that washer and had nothing but trouble with it. I got rid of it and went back to my preferred Kenmore washer. Im still using it.

Without a doubt the worst washer I have ever owned. Thankfully I purchased a protection agreement. Within the last 15 months I have had 5 major repairs. They have now rebuilt the entire machine except for the exterior body. The repairs consisted of the following: Spin Sensor replaced. April 2015. Timing mechanism replaced March 2016. New transmission May 2016. New Basket/Drum May 2016. New Motor Aug 2016.I am now arguing with Sears about replacing the machine but because I have not have 4 major repairs within a 12 month time window I do not qualify. The reason I dont have 4 within 12 months is because they combined the transmission and basket repair into 1 ticket so TECHNICALLY I do not qualify. No worries though, at this rate I am sure to need another repair within the next few months... The technician actually told me this was the worst washer Sears has ever made and they get more calls on this washer than any other. HORRIBLE MACHINE!!!

My washer is a little bit older now. It had a good run, was good while it lasted, got all of my stuff clean and had plenty of different setting options. It is on its way out, any load may be its last. I wish it would have lasted a little bit longer, but maybe 5 years is all you can expect out of washer machine??

Never had a single problem with the machine. It would get used at least twice a week. Clothes come out smelling fresh and clean every time. This is the most reliable machine I have ever used. It provides everything someone could want in a machine and handles large loads easily on a regular basis. It looks like any other machine that you purchase, you arent going in expecting some super sleek design but its practical for its use and fits the build. The price was right in line with all others but you are getting much better quality for what you are spending your money on for a home unit that is reliable.

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.

Colored clothes come out streaked with white marks even when I do a second rinse. Am currently rewashing a load without detergent in the hopes of dissolving these marks. I am extremely dissatisfied with this washer (Kenmore washer Series 600).

I bought a new Kenmore top load washer and the lid keeps locking when its not in use. Ive had the lid lock replaced along with the entire motherboard and its still doing it. This is the worst appliance Ive ever had. Theyre coming out again but Im not sure what else they can do since theyve already replaced everything possible. Piece of garbage. They better offer to replace it but Im not sure I want another one of these.

I think it works really well. I love my Kenmore. It is the best washer I have ever had and I havent at this date had any problems with it. I havent had a problem in two years which in my opinion pretty much makes it pay for itself. It doesnt look bad, it looks like a decent mid-level washer. My washer was decently priced in the middle of the ones we looked at. Ill never use anything other than a Kenmore.

Both worked very well for the first few years but the washer had problems toward the end in getting drained all the way. Had to replace some parts. Units worked good til the end and then they became so unreliable and slow that we ended up replacing them both and are happier now. Dont know why or how but they went bad. Appearance was fine. Dont expect that there is a whole lot of room there to change color and style is changing every day so stay informed and Im so sure you got it. Never got my moneys worth out of any washer. Dryers usually last but these seemed to run faster, harder and wear out quickly. I dont think I will buy again.

I bought washer 8/23/13. I had repairman out 9/10/14, again 11/10/14 and again 11/19/14. The second visit he was 4 hours late, without a call, or I apologize. Ask for different repairman for 4/26/15. One came, stated washer was fixed and drove away. Put clothes in washer and it will not work. I have used Kenmore products forever. I totally do not understand what is happening to your company. I pay for warranty services to no avail. I would never recommend your products again, unless someone comes and does a proper job that you can take pride in. This has been the most frustrating experience.

The performance was awesome. It cleaned my clothes really well. It wasnt fancy which made it extremely easy for me to use and to teach my young son how to wash clothes. It was extremely reliable. I never had any issues with it ever. I was able to wash big loads which is a plus for me because I am so busy. The appearance was basic. I prefer the old style appliances compared to the newer ones that are hard to figure out. It was very easy to clean the inside and outside. It is not very pricey and gets the job done easily. It is worth every penny. I would recommend it to anyone who has a tight budget and wants a great product.

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.

This washing machine works perfectly... Has never failed. I have never been happier with a washing machine. I can even wash quilts and rugs in it with no problem... I also wash my horses saddle pads and her blankets in it with no problem and always works perfect. I wash everything from small things, basic laundry all the way up to blankets and quilts. Washing machine is very clean and stylish looking. Will go with any decor you may have. I prefer the country style myself and it works great with my decor. The price was extremely competitive... Especially when you find it on sale. I did not feel bad about what I paid when I left the store... Well worth every single penny.

The ice maker in this Kenmore/Whirlpool/KitchenAid Ice Maker draws a standard load when heating the mold BUT the Timer-Control Module W10190935 which has to control & pass the current, cannot handle the load. It appears a lot of customers have the same problem, as the module is overheating and creates a fire hazard.

Just a great all around no nonsense straightforward everyday runner that just keeps working without any issues; that is easy to load and has very little wasted space.

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!

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 purchased this washing machine in April 2010. It was okay for about a year then it started to display SUD and code F35, and would not run on any setting. This was a defect and Sears should offer a recall. A washing machine at this price should last for more than 2 years. After reading the other reviews with the same problem, I have decided to purchase a new washer and it will not be a Kenmore from Sears ever again!

I have been a Kenmore user since I started buying appliances. I have never been disappointed, and so I keep coming back. This low efficiency washer is awful. Hardly adds any water at all; its washboard does its best to destroy and rip up your clothes (I have pictures if anyone doubts me); this cycle is so long that you cannot do more that one load of washing in one night. Laundry used to be fun for me. And BTW, clothes are still not clean.

I am a senior citizen and limited in my mobility. I am totally disappointed and frustrated with the Kenmore Elite which I purchased in December 2013. The 3 P.C. Boards Ive been told are not working thus resulting in the machine not working. Ive been told by the technician the repair would cost almost as much as I paid for the washing machine. I thought Kenmores were reliable. I purchased this with my Sears card.

Its a good washing machine, would recommend! It is built well and have reliable! Had a Maytag and it is on par with that machine! Had a Kenmore for over 20 years and only replaced the pump once! Fit and finish are always good and paint is always durable!,

My Kenmore washer is very good. I wash up to 3 loads a day. Im very happy with my purchase. It cleans my clothes and Ive not had any problems. My washer is very reliable. From large, medium and small loads. Its the best washer that Ive owned. I would highly recommend this washer. Appearance of washer is very good. The settings are very easy to set. Overall it goes well with my appliances. Its a very nice washing machine. The value of my washing machine was very good. If you are looking for a washing machine to get the job done without being expensive get one.

We have not had any problems with our Kenmore Washer. It cleans very well, can do heavy loads or small delicate, you can adjust water levels and hot or cold water. Weve had it for 6 years and we think that shows that it wears over the long time. We would recommend it highly.

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.

This washer works really well and has a very unique and cool looking design. I would definitely recommend this washer to other people. The washer is very reliable and easy to use. It works great on tough stains and always does a good job cleaning my clothes. Never have had any issues with this washer. The appearance of this machine is unique and I love how it looks and fits in my laundry room. The buttons are cool and the slick design makes it look futuristic. The machine is definitely worth its value. It works great for the price and Ive never had any problems. The value of this machine is great in comparison of others like 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.

It works very well. I can put in large loads with no issues. I wish there was a spot for fabric softener. However, everything works splendidly. We have had this product for 2 years and it has never given us any issue at all. It can wash really dirty items without a leftover smell. It looks like a normal washer. Its great for someone on a small budget that wants a washer that will last a long time. Its also easy to clean. We got this at a very good price and is very affordable and reliable. For something we will be using for years to come with a little one, this was the perfect washer for us.

It did the job. It agitated properly and got my clothes clean. Really spun them and got the excess water out to make drying them easier. Very reliable and seems like it is really well made. I love get more products. It has enough space capacity to meet my laundry needs of a family of six. Four children under the age of 11 means lots of grass stains and dirty clothes. Looks sleek but also looks just like a lot of other washing machines out there. I like the style is simple and isnt a sight for sore eyes. I feel you get what you pay for when it comes to home appliances. This was a bit more expensive but definitely worth it and the warranty it came with.

Kenmore Washer Model No. 796.40318900. Shortly after purchasing the very expensive washer it started leaking water. Why, no explanation given from sears. Then we started getting dE which means door error. Since I was busy working we decided to get sears out to repair. I should have done it myself! They send tech out a week later and just used the code given to swap out parts without really troubleshooting the root cause of problem. They replace the door switch for $240.00. Three days later it has the same dE and at this point I am livid at myself and sears. IF its the same part that went bad they would fix it under the 90 warranty on that part, if its something else they would charge me again. Just swapping out parts is not a reliable way to troubleshoot a problem. Thats just the easiest way sears probably trains their techs. This took about 3 weeks to get the second tech out. I just wanted to get another switch installed and I was going to troubleshoot the real problem myself. I guessed you figured out by now, nobody I know that is married can go a month without washing clothes on a regular basis. I will NEVER do business with sears again. I took the wife to Lowes and purchased an LG washer that was very similar that would fit on the stand I purchased with the kenmore. When the second tech finally shows up, I point him to the garage where the Kenmore sat connected to power. He told me he couldnt troubleshoot it not connected to water. I told him sure you can because it gets the same door error and will not start. Now the truth comes out from his mouth. Well the problem is not the door switch, its the software! I said, You mean the controller? He said, Yes, this is a known problem and for a refurbished one it will be $125.00 plus labor and a new one is $225.00 plus labor since its not the original part. So lets get this straight! They knew it was the controller and they scam you into believing it could be other parts to charge you out the ** just to steal your money! Now I paid for a repair that didnt really fix the problem because the controller works randomly and now they want another $350.00 to replace the controller. This will bring the total to ~$600.00 to fix a used Kenmore Washer that cost me $1500.00 brand new. No matter how you look at it, with the new LG Washer and the cost to repair the old one that I may not be able to sell without gilt is now over $2,100.00. By the way, the tech also said that Sears tried to duplicate the technology from LG and failed badly and sells everyone crap at big $$$$$. Also, the water on your floor is caused by a couple things. If there is too many suds build up in the washer it will flush it out the back of the washer and runs down the back side onto the floor. They didnt design it to go out the drain normally. This makes no sense whatsoever! If you do not clean the glass door and rubber around the door frequently, it will leak water out the front also and begin to make your washer smell bad. Straight out of the techs mouth. Way to go Sears! Make everyones life a PAIN. Now that other companies sell tools that are lifetime warrantied, there is no need to buy anything from this company ever again. STAY AWAY FROM SEARS! I hope you read this complaint board before making your next purchase!

We purchased a Kenmore Elite washer 7-4-11. It was not much trouble in the first few months but I always had to make sure I did a large load or the machine would constantly be out of balance. Recently, I got a safety recall on the machine recently. I had the repairman out to install the update necessary. He has been out three times now and my problems have grown to the point of no return. I am totally unhappy with this machine and your update. As soon as I can get money saved up, it is out of my sight and being replaced with a different brand. You have got to be kidding if you think people are not going to drive you crazy with complaints. If you do a light load, it goes through 3 or 4 Rinse cycles and is constantly out of balance. It now takes 2 to 2 1/2 hours to do a small load of laundry and you call that efficient! I stay at home so I am able to stand over the stupid thing, but for working people, it will be a nightmare. My advice is to stay away from any Kenmore Elite. It sucks!

I am getting clean clothes, no tears or wears from machine, great job and not much of a noise. Dryer works nice too, but I do not use it much - prefer natural drying outside. It never gave me any trouble, really reliable and ready to go when I need it. Never malfunction or broke. I would really recommend it and I am happy to have it. It is old fashion and all white, but nobody see it except me because it is in separate room. And I do not care much about appearance as long as it works. By now it cost me practically nothing and still working great, so I am happy with value. It is one of those products that were build like do not do anymore.

This Kenmore pair are now made by LG. They are horrible. They open and close the water inlet rapidly like a bang, bang, bang. They have ruined the plumbing pipes. This is not only my washer, but my brothers, too. After only 3 years, the gears squeak and the motor whines. They were very expensive, but when we move into our new home next month, we will leave them behind and just let the new owners have them.

I purchased a Sears Kenmore HE washer 110.2613. I read everything I could get my hand on about HE washers. Here is what I learned from experience and then confirmed by the washer technician. The amount of water the washer uses is regulated by federal energy use standards. So your new HE washers may have lots of choices, dials, and lights but it will only use the maximum allowed by these regulations. Normal, casual, delicate change only slightly by length of time washed and water temp. Might as well have one button. Most HE washers dont have an actual rinse cycle. It sprays the soap off the clothes! The washer will mix hot and cold water so that the water temperature never exceeds the regulated temperature. True hot water wash is impossible.. You better flush out the bleach dispenser or you will find white bleached dots on clothes in another cycle.A WORK AROUND. Use a fraction of the detergent (2 TABLESPOONS). Never use pods or you will find plastic bits stuck on your clothes. Powder detergent never dissolves completely. Wash everything in BULKY BEDDING or WHITES. Thats the only way to get a decent amount of water. DO NOT use fabric softener but ALWAYS choose the fabric softener button. Why? You actually get some rinse water not just spritzing for the rinse. If available, use 2 rinse cycles. If available use Deep Fill. Be prepared to take twice or three times more time to get your laundry done. Its 1.45 hr to wash one load. If your household has very dirty clothes as in construction workers, I suggest you go down to the river and beat them against rocks. You will get better results than with any HE washer.

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???

I have owned my Kenmore top loading washing machine for 10 years. It may not be the most attractive washing machine but it is definitely the most reliable and dependable washing machine that I have ever owned. It has never failed me once and gets all my clothes very clean. I have recommended the Kenmore washer to many of my friends and have never heard of any breakdowns or repairs. I know that someday this machine will quit on me and when that day occurs, I will go right back to the Sears store and buy another Kenmore!

The Washer works really great. Its fast, no noise, and works great. I would really recommend it to everyone. Its worth all the money. No other machine could work great like this. The reliability is really, really good, you have no idea. Its really great, probably the best I have ever had to be honest. The plain white color isnt really my thing. I would probably like it to be more colors option so it could fit my taste a little bit more. Best deal you could have ever. Dont miss out like at all. If you want to live the best life, then buy the best product you could find, and this is one of them.

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.

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.

I am very disappointed with my Kenmore front load washer I purchased April 2011. I did not purchase extended warranty, I sure expected a Kenmore to last at least 10 years with previous purchases I made with Sears appliances. The repair guy estimated 1000.00 to repair. We said no thanks because I can buy new for that price. So, this Tuesday, I have a new top load washer coming and this Kenmore is going to the dump. My new machine is costing me 1200.00 bucks. The problem with the Kenmore is it will not spin the clothes out, the clothes stay very wet. I would like a refund, however I am not expecting you to do much for me, but it would be nice to offer me some money back. I still have the receipt for the washer. I hope you consider some refund.
