I always used a liquid detergent. I never used powders. I always kept the dryer vents cleaned out to prevent fires and to help the dryer be more efficient. Both my washer and dryer lasted more than 15 years. I think the secret is to use liquid detergents and to keep the dryer vent clean especially to the outside. Neither of my appliances had to have any service other than what I just described. Even though I purchased the cheaper or plain models I found that they were easy to keep clean and that their finish held up very well over the fifteen plus years I used them. For the monies I invested and the usage I received for my fifteen years of usage I think I came out very well and not having to spend monies for service or repairs especially speaks to the quality of both machines.

I have had my Kenmore washer and dryer for over 10 years and have never had a problem. I am thoroughly happy with these appliances and would highly recommend Kenmore products. The washer was quiet and efficient and the dryer completed the cycles without leaving any clothes damp.

Kenmore Elite HE 4 - Since 2004 I bought the pair. It cost a lot over 2000 but worth every penny. I put a long term warranty on it. Worth every penny. My first front loader in over 20 years and I cant say enough about it. I have it serviced every year to be sure it is running right. I love this machine. I had the matching dryer but it was gas and when I sold my home I moved into an all electric apt. Would love to find that dryer. I had the stand for it. I carry a long term warranty on it. A great machine.

It runs great and I was surprised it was so quiet!! It cleaned my clothes great!!! Its the best brand on the market!! I love it!! I would recommend it to anyone! You will love it I do!!! Ive been using this brand for 30+ years. You cant beat it!! In 30 years Ive owned 4 of your washers and they were great and had little to no trouble with them!! I wouldnt change a thing except find a stronger more durable fiber to use for the belts!! They have a great look but the look is not as important as performance!!! But they look great and I wouldnt change a thing!! Keep up the great work. It is really a great value for the money. They last forever so it is totally worth it in the long run!! Definitely great value!!! I would tell everyone I know that your washers and dryers are the best value for the price!!

I bought a top of the line front loading Kenmore washer with Steam. I had it exactly a year and two days when I had to call a repairman because it was leaking water all over my basement. He said it was because the door was not closing completely and sealing; so, the water is leaking out. I told him that it was not coming from the front of the washer. He did not agree. The clothes that remain in the machine overnight come out smelling like mold wicked bad! The water is now pouring out of the washer and causing mold to grow all over my basement! I called for repair and they want to charge me $89 to come to my home and more for parts and labor! This machine is the biggest piece of junk I have ever owned and that is saying something! I stupidly trust that the companies that my parents believed in are the same today as they were when I was a kid. We had Kenmore washers and dryers for 10 years before having a problem with 8 people living in the home and doing their laundry!! UNBELIEVABLE!! Never, Never Again!!

I purchased my Kenmore Heavy-Duty washer and dryer set the next week available after I got married in Feb 1976 (seventy-six). That makes it about mid-March 1976. Here now in Jan 2020 I can truthfully say that I never had one speck of trouble from the set until now when the washer stopped draining. Having a Sears repairman respond to fix the problem revealed that it cannot be repaired. I must now try to find another Kenmore Washer. Admittedly, I did not use it on any routine regularity and once not used at all when in an apartment without a hookup for a couple years. But, I suspect I won't need it to last as many as 44 more years since I'm now 73 years old. It worked just great for me!

This is a good quality dryer. It has lasted for many years and keeps drying very well. It does not wrinkle clothing and is very easy to operate. I would buy this dryer again. This dryer is very reliable and has been used a very lot. It dries very good. IT DRIES VERY GOOD. KENMORE MAKES GOOD QUALITY PRODUCTS THAT LAST AND LAST. WOULD GLADLY BUY THE SAME ONE AGAIN. This dryer from kenmore is very stylish in appearance, made very well, knobs are well placed and easy to turn. It fits with any decor. You will be well satisfied. The price you pay for this dryer from kenmore is very affordable and well worth the price. It dries as good as a more expensive one. You cant beat the value.

Powerful washer provides the incredible clean that you expect your clothes to be. You cant go wrong with this washer. Kenmore has made me a happy customer for life now. Its very reliable. I have found this washer to be more reliable than all of the other washers I have ever owned. Its a bit on the small side and you have to be careful about the load size but its a great investment. Its white. Its a little bulky. It looks just like every other washer on the market. The only real difference is this seems to clean better. The washer is the perfect size for a small apartment like what I live in. You can make it work room wise. This washer is a must. It does the job well and does not take up as much space as other washers tend to. The dryer portion of the set also covers everything you need.

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

I loved my dryer. It performed all the function it said. It never shrunk any of my clothes. As long as you put it on the right setting! I wouldnt buy any other brand for my clothes. The dryer I bought was perfect for my family of 6. It always dried my clothes, and left them wrinkle free. I recommended their product to all of my friends and family. Kenmore has an excellent appearance. I love how everything is organized and label with different settings, so you know which one to use for different clothes. Ive had mine for the last ten years. They are very reliable dryers. I am truly amazed that its still running great. Ive never had any problems with my dryer.

The washer does fine but you need to leave the door open so that it does not get musty. Sometimes the clothes do not get as clean as I would like to get. The reliability has been fine. I have not had it serviced. It has not broken down in the ten years that I have owned it. I do not use it as heavily as most as there are only two people on the household and no kids. The appearance is appealing and looks good in my laundry room. It matches my dryer and is pleasing to the eye. I did not get a color. It is white which is clean looking. It was a good value for the money. I bought it on sale at Sears and also got reward points from the purchase. Kenmore is a good brand.

For the price it works great, never had any problems as of yet. Im happy with its performance. My next washer and/or dryer will be the same brand. After all these years I have had this washer and dryer they have never stop working or gave me any problems. This brand is very reliable. The look of them is nothing special. Just plain white with some grey. But the look isnt the reason I bought them. I bought them for reliability. The model I have is on the cheaper end. But even though I bought it cheaply its still one of the best washers I ever have had. Its a great value.

My washing machine never has a problem getting stains out of my clothing. Ive never had to put heavily soiled clothing in for more than one cycle. Ive owned Kenmore machines for a very long time and Ive never had a problem with reliability. Any part that breaks down has always been able to be easily replaced. The appearance of my washing machine fits in nicely with my other modern appliances. It matches the look of my dryer, refrigerator and other appliances. My washing machine was a very good buy. I considered it to be quite cheap for the value. It has always been very reliable and well worth the money.

They are well made, and work well for a long time. I like the brand, and I am proud to have it in my home. Not only do they work well, they look great too. I like people seeing my washer and dryer. I love that I havent had any problems with it.

The drum bearing of my 8-year old Kenmore washer with matching dryer went out. The cost of the part is $2. Service man quoted $972 to fix. What is Sears thinking? Plain obsolescence! Kenmore is not manufactured to have the bearing replaced. You have to buy the complete drum and spin basket. Ridiculous. Its built to fail in a Frigidaire plant. Dryer is designed to fit only another Kenmore product. So, I also have to buy a new dryer. Needless to say, it will not be Kenmore and it will not be purchased at Sears. I will buy a Meile washer and dryer and never buy from Sears again. No wonder they are failing. I would prefer to support local businesses, but until they realize consumers are tired of paying high prices for Chinese garbage, smart consumers will seek superior quality in brands made in Europe.

Bought KENMORE ELITE 5.3 FRONT LOADING WASHING MACHINE from Sears in Nov 2018. After about the 10 load it made the sound of a hammer hitting it. LOUD! Only my wife & I live here and use it, roughly 20-24 loads per month. The loud banging happened about 4 times. Then began, and still continuing a shuddering noise when adding water to a wash cycle. At the end of July a SEARS TECH come out & replace both hot & cold LG intake valves. NO RESOLVE. I had been researching this situation and came across a term I wasnt familiar with-water hammer arrestor. Wont go into detail but discussed this with tech and decided Id nothing to lose but $20. Bought one each for supply valves. Tech returned 3 days later but nothing changed. Doing more research someone pointed out that for these machines 1/2 interior diameter hose should be used, not the steel wrapped hoses which are only 3/8 interior diameter. This small hose causes the velocity to come out and into washer MUCH MORE FORCEFUL. I spent $30 on HEAVY RUBBER hoses and stopped the shuttering. Until 2 weeks ago. SEARS TECH was to come out yesterday (10-31) and called to make sure Id be home. I explained the situation and was told this is a PROBLEMATIC DEFECT with these washers and cant be fixed. Said this has been an ongoing problem for 3-4 yrs. The first tech from 3 months earlier basically said the same. Also - Whats up with water ALWAYS in soap tray? My dryer is level. If fact I think SEARS installed it. One other problem: Has anyone noticed when workers come into your home they behave like they own it. These 2 tech were upset as I ask them to take their dirty shoes off and to remove whatever was attached to their belts. I told them I didnt want my walls & cabinets scratched up!

Work great. Best brand. We have this set about 10 year. We love this brand and will buy another set broke. We let our friends know about Kenmore. They love it too. This is our second set washer and dryer and fridge and freezer too.

Works great and is very reliable. Like the performance. I wash everyday and I am very satisfied with the performance of both really great products. I use 3 to 4 times a day and wash blankets and all my curtains. Mine came in several different colors. I picked tan to match my decor and the trim is also optional. Very sleek in design - shines like a penny. I would say it is a value for the money I paid. Will last almost a lifetime. I will not have to replace for several years. Really works like a commercial washer and dryer for home use. It is well worth the price.

This washer/dryer set has operated without a repair for 18 years; it washes heavy and light loads satisfactorily. Routine maintenance such as cleaning the dryer filter is important to keeping it functioning at maximum efficiency!

I have bought several reconditioned Kenmore washer and dryer and they seem to perform efficiently and they are very dependable. My washing area is in the garage and they seem to be able to withstand the cold and dont freeze up.

Every member in my family is using this dryer and we all have the same feelings about this machine. Best dryer I have ever owned. My sister has the same, exact dryer and also loves it as much as I do. The reason that I purchased this dryer is because of the durability described in the manual and it definitely has not let me down. This dryer is very reliable. My clothes are always wrinkle and static free, and I do not have to iron everyday. It is very energy-efficient and economical. The appearance of my dryer is incredible, the dryer fits perfectly in the only space that I had available for it. It is very easy to clean and keep clean. The amount of money that was charged and that I paid for this dryer was very much worth the amount of money. I had to borrow money from my father to purchase this dryer and I am so glad that I did, because it was worth it.

I was drying my clothes in my Kenmore dryer and was fixing to go to bed. When I walked in my kitchen, I heard a loud noise and smelled something burning. I realized that my dryer was on fire. I quickly unplugged it and realized that the side panel was burnt, my clothes smelled like smoke. I have had this dryer, approximately 5 years. I just did not realize how dangerous the malfunction of a dryer could be. The worry that I have is what would have happened if I had not walked back in there before retiring for the night. Shouldnt there be a safety switch, in which it turns itself off in the event of an incident like this.

The washer and dryer was durable. It last a long time with no problems. It got my clothes very clean and it never broke down. I would recommend this washer to a friend. I have always been happy because it gave me no problems. It performed great, economic on water use and energy efficient, stable, cleans well. Has different cycles. The appearance was nice and the capacity is very large so you can get laundry done in a timely manner. Its energy efficient. It is a great value whatever price you pay and of high quality.

It was made for a long time, very good. I think that I had it for years. Very simple to use, and not many buttons so you can use it easier. It is made very sturdy, had it for many years. Just a simple washer and dryer that doesnt have many setting, which I like. Nothing really fancy but sure last a long time. It is very plain, but has the three settings, and that is what I wanted or needed. I dont like all the fancy buttons on a machine. It is quiet, and works well. The value is the best, not too expensive and does everything that an expensive washer and dryer would do. It was less than the newer washers and dryers and I had it for years.

Very quiet, fast, high capacity, thorough dryer, great options settings, convenient loading and easy unloading, solid manufacture, sturdy and very strong. Functions very well all the time, never has ever not functioning. Very good, very fast and easy to use and very efficient. A very good dryer makes my clothes nice and fluffy. Very sleek and very cool modern yet at the same time very traditional, does not look too bulky and does not look too tiny. Takes up just the right amount of space. Very good price always at Sears because Kenmore is the primary brand at Sears so it is usually on sale. I think that the value for the money is excellent.

Good size and works great. Have not had any issues yet except the one time a shirt got caught in the door. It ruined it when it started spinning. Its been very reliable so far. I think we bought the warranty but no need to use it yet for either washer or dryer. It looks like all the other front load machines. Looks nice. No issues. Can stack to save space. Ours is white and it looks very good. I dont remember the exact price but I think it was fairly reasonable to buy. We didnt buy the most expensive machine but it does everything that we need.

I purchased the Kenmore Elite Washing Machine and compatible Dryer, in Sep of 2012. As of this date, Sep 9, 2015, I have been utterly disappointed with its performance as a washing machine, as it does not wash clothes, it get them wet, wrinkles them up, and spins them out. Clothes do not come clean. But, the great news is, today it completely EXPLODED! I mean that it blew up, the top, the whole top, not just the lid and the control panel, but the entire top blew off, the machine blew apart, blowing a holes in the drywall, denting the adjoining dryer, as you will see in my photos. Sears and Kenmore will do nothing about it, stating it is out of warranty. Well... I will not ever set foot in Sears again, and I will never buy another Kenmore product again. See attached photos for the damage. This machine blew itself three feet away from the wall, and as you can see, would have seriously hurt someone if they had been pulling clothes out of the dryer at the moment of destruction.

It gives the clothes that fresh clean like they are new again. I love it. Gives the impression that Im not wasting money at a laundromat. They have a very long life. If anything happens it’s a quick easy fix and working like new again. You cant get a product thats made with such great pride anymore. The washer has a huge washing area and is quiet from start until finish. You dont even know its done with. As silent as it is the dryer works wonders. The set isnt nearly as much as lesser sets that you would have lots of issues with. Just get this set and leave it to your grandkids. It will last that long.

We have had no problem with the Kenmore washer or dryer that we have had for over 8 years. We even had my children and grandchildren living with us at one point. This meant multiple loads of laundry since the children were in diapers and they were cloth diapering.

My dryer worked fine until the seal started to mold badly and we had to replace it after only 2 years. I have no idea how a dryer could mold but ours did. Please if you want a long lasting dryer dont buy this one. I could fit all my clothes but I normally had to do two or three rounds of drying before towels and sheets dried. All the regular clothing items did dry but some things would shrink if the setting changed drastically. Very nice to look at. It was a bit larger than expected but we fit it in right next to the washer. The front opening was very useful to look at the clothes inside. Probably not worth very much in my opinion. My friend has a different version and hers breaks down quite a lot. Probably not the best to buy if you want a good dryer.

This Kenmore dryer is reliable and efficient. It has many features to meet all your dryer needs. With new technology that allows for better drying action this machine is top of the line without that hefty price tag. This Kenmore dryer is reliable as Kenmore company stands by their products. It is also made by a well known company that makes more expensive brands. Thus, you arent paying for the name but the quality when you pick a Kenmore. This Kenmore washer has attractive buttons and sleek design being as its a newer model. Comes all nice and shining with a lovely basin that will meet the needs of the typical family. Kenmore comes at a price point that is sure to delight your pocket while being manufactured by a well known brand of other appliances.

Even though the washer worked well, it developed a leak after a few months that would frustrate us because we had just invested in a new washer. Not counting on the leak, the washer worked well and was somewhat reliable. We liked the easy the washer cleaned the clothes. This was upsetting because of the bad experience we had with the leak. This washer looks like a very modern and functional machine. The appearance led us to keep the machine on the main floor of the house instead of hiding it on the basement. The dryer was expensive but not overly expensive. The repair costs to fix the leak made the machine not have as good a value as it would have. Not the withstanding the leak the value was good.

My clothes feel so much cleaner than they did with my old washer and it fits a decent size load of laundry. Dryer is quick and my power bill did not go up when I switched out my old one with this. These appliances are completely reliable. I have never had a problem with any element of either machine not working and we do at least 4 loads of laundry in our house each week. Not the most modern looking washer dryer set but it is modernized and looks fine in my laundry closet, not that anyone but myself ever sees it. Its a updated basic side by side washer dryer set design. All appliances are so very expensive these days but this set was a fraction of the cost of the nicest models available and I am more than happy with it for the price I paid.

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

It dries really fast, just gets noisy when it goes really fast, but overall its one of the best dryers I have ever had - and had quite a few I went through. And so far has lasted. The dryers reliability has been great. And it has been through some rigorous daily grind. Its still like new. The clothes come out fresh, nice and hot right out of the dryer, and we have a very big family to test the reliability. The dryers appearance at first seem like it looks like the rest but when you look at the features, you will be amazed at the potential to never take your eyes off of it when you do your laundry. The perceived value I got was spectacular. With what you all get for the durability, stability of this dryer, you would pay more for a different name to get this all in one dryer you will ever need.

Model 25370313211 - I purchased this refrigerator November 22, 2012. Ten and 1/2 months later my freezer temperature started fluctuating from 0 to 18 degrees causing my food to thaw and partially refreeze. I contacted Sears within the first year of purchase and after several house calls and $1700 dollars worth of repairs they told me that any other problem would not be covered under the manufacture warranty. During the last few visits of repairs to my freezer my ice maker and water dispenser stopped working. Since this problem was not in the original complaint I had to pay for the repair. I was told by the repairman that it was a design flaw in the refrigerator and I would have that problem again which I did 3 months later. He showed me how to take the panel out of the inside and thaw the water line with a hair dryer. I have to thaw the waterline every eight weeks. This problem was not mentioned on the website when I purchased the refrigerator!!Less than a year after the last repair freezer temperature is fluctuating from 0 to 20 degrees (UNSAFE!) and Kenmore says they are no longer responsible. I spoke to 2 of the Kenmore service reps and they both agreed that the refrigerator I purchased was a lemon. One suggested that I speak to the store manager to see if he could help me. I spoke to him about my situation and he promised to call me in 3 days. He never returned my phone call. I went to the store and spoke to the assistant manager. He said that the products that they sell are not meant to last and that it was out of the stores hands since I had their Kenmore repairman work on my refrigerator. He again gave me their number and all they said is that they would offer me a 20% discount on my service. I told them that I did not have $1500 to spend on their defective product. Shame on you Sears!

Great appliances!! From setting your wash preference on your washer and removing the lint from your dryer they are the best! Washes perfectly and dries the clothes without a problem. Definitely worth the money.

I got my Kenmore 18 years ago and it is still going. Both washer and dryer. Had to call someone out twice because a sock got lodged somewhere weird in the washer and the dryer wasnt heating so I took apart the back and went at it with a vacuum - good as new. I really hope that Kenmore brands today are as good as the ones I bought almost 2 decades ago as I know Im on borrowed time. We have not been gentle with the washer and dryer either. I mean not changing the lint filter for weeks (fire hazard) and jam packing the washer so it goes off balance. This thing is damn near indestructible.

Mold issues, smells like rotten eggs. Works great but still cant get that smell to go away, thats in the washer. Also had a pump go bad. The dryer seems to be doing great. Was in a class action lawsuit but think we lost. I hope they made these a lot better over the years. Mine was the first front loader out I think.

I had a Kenmore Washer & Dryer for 13 years and only had to replace 1 part on the washer and my husband did it. So we thought it was time to purchase a new set that might be more energy efficient and thought we would go with the Kenmore brand again. July 2013 we purchased the Kenmore Elite top loading washer and matching dryer, for a lot of money, not bottom of the line. My husband was not happy with the washer right away, he felt his work clothes were not getting clean. I thought it might be the setting they were getting washed on so I tried different combinations. I also realized that I couldnt let items soak in the water overnight, it would drain out. We continued to use them since they were not broken and we had given away our other set. In the last 1-2 months I cant wash a load of anything (it first was only blankets) it stops and says unbalanced load. I had them installed by the company who brought them but I double checked that the washer was level, and it was. I cant get through washing a load of 4 items, same weight without it taking all day, and stopping at the minimum of 4 times. I go and rebalance the clothes and start it again. I called and it is $79 to come out and look, if nothing is wrong, I lose the money. If they find something I get it back but pay for the parts & labor. Or I can purchase a new warranty for $229 for a year which covers certain items. I cant sell it without feeling guilty but it was not a couple of hundred dollars, I even feel guilty giving it to anybody but I dont even want to deal with it anymore. Friends have washers and Love them! The dryer is fine, no complaints. Trying to figure out if I should choose plan A or plan B... My luck is bad.

Ive had our washing machine and dryer for over 10 years and cant say enough great things about it! Its a champ! Our household does roughly 10 loads of laundry a week and its never had a bit of trouble with such heavy usage! Ive never had to call and have it repaired or serviced in any way!!!

The washer has several different settings which helps depending on the type of load that is being washed. This helps to save time and get a good clean, especially on my husbands nasty welder work clothes. This washer has maintained and worked well despite the rough and tough work clothes along with all the heavy weighted dog towels and even does well on winter comforters. All of this without any major issues and still getting a good clean even on some of the worst dirt my dogs can make. I can say it has a sleek enough design to fit into my kitchen which is where my laundry center is. The value of this washer and the dryer are terrific because they both handle everything I can throw at them without giving me any major issues. My husband is a welder and has some funky work clothes yet they get very clean in a single wash which is a wonderful time saver.

Have these units (Kenmore Washers) for over 10 years. Have Sears protection policy. In year 2 dryer failed. They could not fix and gave me a brand new dryer! Covered under Sears Cap 10 protection agreement. Cost is about $500 a year. If they can not repair in 4 tries they give you a new unit!

I had a Kenmore set when I was raising my kids. I thought the large size and particularly the durability were great with five kids; I gave the pair a workout. I should also mention living in a rural area, Kenmores are a more convenient brand to service. I believe my pair lasted some 15-20 years, the dryer going first.

Our Kenmore washer/dryer pair work beautifully, are inexpensive to operate, and have been wonderfully reliable. I would certainly buy them again. They wash extremely well and dry quickly and fully. Easy to operate and simple to load and unload. Highly recommended.

Bought an apartment washer and dryer and ever since day one it did not perform well. Timer went out, a main washer engine part went bad and had to be replaced. Very poor service provided by Sears. Every six months the washer or dryer would have issues. Cost more to repair in the years than buying a new one.

My washer and dryer work great. I do many large loads and they hold up to the wear and tear like champs. They have never let me down and I expect them to keep going for years. I have never had a single issue with either my washer or dryer. They run consistently and perform with the efficiency that I expect. I have a top load washer and a front load dryer. The controls are easy to use. The white finish is easy to maintain and has been looking good for their constant and heavy use. I bought my washer and dryer during a Black Friday sale and couldnt be happier with the price I paid. They are energy-efficient and continue to prove cost-effective with the money I save in utility costs.

The washer was awesome. It was large enough to hold my blankets and bigger items where I didnt have to drag them to the laundromat anymore and got them cleaner than any other washer that I had ever owned. It wrung them out twice as good as any other machine I had owned so it meant less drying time. The washer was extremely dependable, reliable the whole time I owned it. It never let me down. It always got my clothes thoroughly and always wrung them out to the max. It was very elegant, very easy to keep clean and the overall appearance was sweet. They had a selection of colors so I could coordinate it so it didnt look tacky in my house. It was an exceptional value. I got both the washer and dryer for $2,000.00 with a 2-year warranty, which included delivery and set up.

Dries well and doesnt leave a lot of static. Gives you different time options for drying as well as 3 settings for air drying. Definitely recommend. Love my dryer. It is durable. We have had it 12 years and never had any problems with it drying our clothes. I wash clothes at least 3 times a week and use the dryer for drying with my comforter. This Kenmore dryer is small, durable, good size and depth. Easy to fit anywhere in your home. I love front load feature and simple to use. I believe this was on sale when we purchased 2 years after buying our home and we purchased as a set. We have had it 12 years and have never had issues with it with a family of 4.

We purchased a 795-783402.804 under the Kenmore name for our summer home in May 31, 2010. We only use the refrigerator/freezer from May to October. The first year that we came back and opened up, we could not get the refrigerator to work. ERR was the reading where the temperature should have been displayed. I contacted Sears and they informed me that my warranty had just run out. In my defense, it took several weeks to have the repairman come to our area. Then after both my husband and I took off from work and drove the two hours so that we could be here when he arrived, he never showed. We had to again set up another appt. and that is when the repairman said the design of the bottom drawer freezer was a bad design and we had to make sure we closed it from the exact center or the fan would not work properly. This lasted about one month before the same thing happened. Sears sold us the extended warranty (another $300) and after limping through the summer, we arrived this year to the same problem and again our extended warranty had expired. So far this summer, we have had the coils freeze up 4 times. My husband has to take off the back of the freezer after removing the drawer and use a hair dryer to defrost the coils. The amount of food that I have had to throw away is a crime. Not only was this refrigerator/freezer expensive but the customer service was horrible and the problem still exists. Bad design or not, it is not the fault of the consumer. What rights does this consumer have? All I have had offered to me was to purchase another extended warranty! One star rating = angry. That doesnt begin to reflect the feeling I have towards Sears!

Broke soon after warranty expired then started to leak. Just ended up replacing the unit with an LG. I will not buy Kenmore ever again. The washer started out working very well. Unfortunately the machine did not last as long as I hoped it would. The dryer has worked fine. The design and aesthetics of these machines is very pleasing and attractive. I have been very happy with the way these machines look. Since I just had to buy a new washer three years before I was planning I dont feel as if the value of the washer is that great considering.

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

Good quality but priced a little high. Had very few service visits so I was satisfied with both the washer and dryer. I am not sure I would pay top dollar for Kenmore again since Maytag lasted longer and had fewer problems while we owned them.

I have had my washer for years and we have 6 people our house and of course, sometimes a daughter that washes 3 items, it has lasted through kids, grandkids and all!! It has lasted through being overloaded dozens of time plus a rocking rotor and a baby sock being stuck in the drum. I have even washed quilts and rugs. The overall appearance is not that flamboyant yet it does not need to be. I keep my washer/dryer combination clean and polished. I tried to wipe it down weekly. The value has gone beyond the passing point. The washer and dryer combo have stood up to generational use, baby use, grandparent use, cousin use.

I inherited my grandparents Kenmore washer and dryer when they passed away. The washer and dryer must have been well over 10 years old and still alive and kicking! I used them for at least another 5 years or so before I had to replace the dryer. I was so impressed with how long this set of washer and dryer lasted, that I ended up replacing them with newer models of Kenmore. I really liked that they cleaned my clothes well, dried them good and the products lasted so long! If they are good enough for my grandparents, then they are good enough for my family and I.

It gets my familys clothes clean whether it is a large or small load. I have had a family of six and now there are just two of us left at home. It just keeps working. This washing machine has been working for over ten years with no service problems. I can fit larger items like blankets in it or do my finest washable on the hand washing cycle. It still looks great! In fact, it is older than my dryer but it looks better because the paint has lasted well and it still looks relatively modern considering it was bought before the famous front-load look came into style. This purchase has been well worth it. Any washing machine that has done the amount of laundry I have done that has lasted over ten years is worth its weight in gold.

No agitator; it’s water saver; therefore, clothes come out looking dingy and spotted. The dryer has never worked on the “hot” cycle. I have to do 2 cycles to have the clothes coming out of the dryer looking “dry”.

The washer worked for a good 7 years then just started having little glitches during the wash cycle. We were offered a brand new set for free from a family member so thats the main reason we got rid of our Kenmore washer and dryer.

Kenmore performs like a dryer should and doesnt let me down! Have had this dryer for years and years and it has been so dependable. My grown up boys even used it when learning how to be on their own. Its very dependable indeed! I have used mine for years and years and it still performs well. It can dry a lot of clothes at one time and they all come out dried evenly. Its easy to keep clean inside and out. It has a tough, durable finish that still looks new. Just a quick spritz of cleaner and a quick wipe of a towel and it looks like new again! Kenmore has always been reasonably priced when you take into consideration how long and how well the product will last you. Having no worries that it will need costly and time-consuming repairs is a blessing.

I had a 16 year old Kenmore that I was very happy with until it spun its last load. Bought the Kenmore 700 series, Triple Action Technology, 5.3 cu ft. washer with matching dryer. The first load was of my work dress pants (black), they came out with soap residue all over them. I called for a tech to come out to look at it, they sent the delivery guys to re-balance the machine. I tried using the he laundry liquid soap to see if that helped. NOPE. Did not make a difference at all. Tried using the deep fill, still no help. I am within my window of 30 days, so I guess I will have to return it. Very disappointed about that.

In Aug 2013 I replaced my old Kenmore Front Load washer, that I had purchased in 2005, with the Kenmore Elite Model 41172211 Washer. My old Front loader had worked great most of the time. In the 8 years we had it I replaced a pump and had to replace a set of drum shocks but other than that it worked great. One thing I never had a problem with was mold and mildew growing in the washer. I very seldom had to clean it out and never worried about having to leave the door open. Our clothes were always cleaned very well.However, the new Front Load Elite Model # 41172211 has been nothing but problems since we got it. There was an odd odor right from the start. And there is a constant fight to keep mold and mildew from growing in areas along the rubber boot. I leave the door open. Run bleach through it on the Clean Washer cycle usually at least every 2 weeks. Really water efficient. I think not. Not when you have to run cleaning cycles all the time without a load in it. The other problem is that my wife has a beauty shop and we wash a lot of her towels in the machine. With my old machine there was never a problem getting the hair out of the towels. Every time I run a load of her towels I have to wipe hair off of the glass on the door and out of the rubber boot. And dont tell me I need to clean the screen because I do that about once a week.I grew up with my parents always having a Kenmore washer and dryer. I have been married for 32 years now and my wife and I have only had Kenmore washers and dryers up to this point. But if this is the quality of Kenmore front loaders I will NEVER buy another Kenmore. As far as Im concerned this machine has an engineering deficiency that needs to be corrected and Sears/Kenmore has a public relations nightmare with this washer.Sears needs to make good for anyone having mold problems in these machines by either refunding our purchase price so we can go elsewhere and get a machine a decent machine or replacing what we have with a model that doesnt have a mold problem. I know personally I am considering seeking a lawyer that specializes in class action litigation. I have seen enough people posting about this problem not only on this site but many others about this specific problem. If it wasnt a design/engineering problem then my old machine would have grown mold and it didnt.

Dependable, long lasting, power saving. The washer I had was given to me used and lasted for at least 10 years. The dryer saved me on time and money and also lasted at least 10 years. The washer was great as far as large loads of clothes. It did at least 3 pair of pants, 3 shirts and a few weeks worth of underwear in one load. I had a mobile home and the washer and dryer fit like a glove in the area that was made in the hall and it made the space look a lot brighter and more modern. The washing machine and dryer saved me a lot of money a month. It cost about 35 dollars a month to run both of them and saved me twenty bucks a month on gasoline for the car and it usually cost 60-70$ a month going to a laundry mat.

I had the washer and dryer for about 10 years. No problems with dryer but I had to have the washer repaired a few times. Overall like the Kenmore brand. Very reliable for the dryer. I have a family of 5 so I used them daily. The washer broke a belt and was very loud at times. I can not remember all the repairs but I had at least 7 calls for repairs over 10 days. I bought the basic model with no frills. The washer and dryer are both white and easy to keep clean. They look very good in my utility room next to each other. I purchased the base model with no special options. I have been very happy with the washer and dryer, and with the price I had to pay for them. I used the washer and dryer daily, and they were dependable.

This washer is promoted as a large load, energy-efficient design. If you put more than half a load the washer spins so out of control that it shakes my whole 2 story house. Then it starts the rinse cycle again and drains in an attempt to even out the load. One time I let it progress to 10 extra cycles until I could not take it anymore and had to unplug, empty clothes wet, ring out by hand and then put in the dryer. The fact there has not been a recall or a buyback program is a joke. Whatever engineer designed, tested and put this to market should be ashamed of themselves.

When I purchased this washer, I held it to the utmost standard of washer and dryers and expected it to be extremely proficient. The appearance of the washer wasnt all that to me. Ive had and seen better washers. But I didnt choose this washer because of its appearance and if I have to choose between performance and appearance, Ill choose performance all day. This washing machine was amazing and didnt leave the clothes drenched in water. Washed like its supposed to and was long lasting. Had washer for 8 years but I wouldve liked for it to last me at least 10 years. This washer is a very dependable washer and would not disappoint. It washed like I expected it to wash.

This dryer does a fairly good job of drying clothes, however it does not take lint out of the clothes very well at all and the seal on the dryer door was not put on very well so I had water dripping out of my dryer which certainly was a first! It is definitely not a top of the line dryer, but overall it isnt too bad. It is pretty reliable with getting clothes dry and has a large capacity drum which is really nice. You can easily fit a very large load in it and unless it is something bulky like bedding it will be dry in an hour. The appearance is very appealing. And it was one of a very few dry dryers we saw when we were shopping for dryers that would fit into the space we needed it to fit into. While I am dissatisfied with the fact that it does not remove lint from the clothes very well, I think it is a fairly good buy for what it cost us. Especially because it uses so little energy it is saving us a lot on our power bill.

My washers performance really amazed me. Best result clean feel. Never thought a washer could do that. Washer had great settings for every load and did what I wanted. My dryer worked and dried quick and easy to use. Never had to run clothes through more than once unlike my old one. The appearance of the washer and dryer are amazing. I loved the glass look as it gave it an extra sophisticated look. Comfort of seeing your clothes become clean. The value for the pair at first I thought was a bit much, but then after using them and becoming familiar with them, I understood why they were priced that much.

It is an amazing machine. I love how efficient it is. It always works amazing. I recommend this machine to everyone who is looking for an awesome experience with a new set washer and dryer. I love mine and I wouldnt change it. It fits a very large load of clothing and towels. It doesnt take very long to dry at all and it always works amazingly.

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

It looks great & is a top loader & is a huge washer but the clothes dont get clean. I have to use the extra rinse cycle each time to use enough water I think. Also, it started rusting around the bleach input area (?). Never in my 66 years have I seen that & Ive had about 4 washers in my marriage. This one is the Kenmore Elite. UGH never again purchasing a Kenmore, this was pricey & horrid!! We bought the matching dryer as well and it hasnt worked correctly either. Always bought Kenmore products over the years from Sears. These were the worst! I didnt get the front loaders, because they say they had an odor, so this was the next best thing in our opinions. What a mistake. Like I said, never again! This was worth saying twice... Never again!

My Kenmore washer and dryer last for very long time because they are in America where they should be and they all this time never broken down and in need of repair because they are made by American workers who know how make things right in the first place.

It is very powerful and gets the job done fast. I would definitely recommend this to others because its the best washing machine and dryer out there. No other product compares. This is the best product I have ever used.

Wife and I bought a new washer & dryer from Sears, a Kenmore Elite Quad Action and 4 weeks later Im doing wash just pulled clothes out of washer and with lid up on my top load washer, putting detergent and the lid blow apart for no reason. Called Sears and got to wait 3 weeks to get someone out.

4It looks better than some of the other options we considered. It was reasonably priced too for what we paid for it. There were some that were less money but this seemed to be a better value. The salespeople at Home Depot were extremely helpful and open. It has a capacity that is enough for our needs. It is also not super bulky and fits neatly in our laundry closet. The dryer is stacked on top of it. Its very reliable and it isnt too noisy. We use it at least once a day and the clothes come out smelling great and thoroughly clean.

Always worked. Never had any problems getting clothes clean using this washer. Was always an everyday user. Never had any mechanical issues. Very reliable. Was able to keep up with 2 toddlers in the house. Kept clothes clean and never once doubted its reliability. I washed clothes on a daily basis most times and it always seems to get the job done. Was easy to clean. Didnt have any rust like a lot of the older models of the washers. Always looked brand new. Very nice looking models. Very budget friendly. Didnt cost a fortune to purchase. Maintenance on it was very cheap. The load capacity helped with water bill and dryer was very cheap on electric...

Kenmore devices seem to last longer and I have less problems with them. They are worth the money you pay for them and are reasonably rated with other types of washers and dryers. They dont break down a lot and when they do the parts are easy to get and it easy to get them worked on. Thankfully my fiancé has a lot of experience with plumbing so he usually fixes things himself.

I have always owned the Kenmore brand. I find the machines have a wonderful look to them. My machines always get my clothes clean and dried in a short amount of time. I am proud of the way they look and clean. I get compliments on my washer and dryer. That makes me feel that I chose the best for me and my family. I would recommend this brand above the rest of the brands. You really get your monies worth to. Christmas is coming. Reward yourselves this year.

I needed a dryer quick since my previous one died, and I didnt want to spend a lot of time or money. This one was quite cheap and I was able to get it delivered and installed next day. It is pretty large, so I can dry my king size comforter in it. It does a good job of drying large loads and has several settings for drying (amount of time, level of dryness, etc.). However, the buzzer when it goes off is rather jarring. But, thats good when the dryer is in the garage and you couldnt hear it otherwise.

Cleans great. Washes and extracts perfectly. I have used the dryer for less time and clothes come out very clean. I would recommend. Great value/great price. The large load fits a lot of clothes. It keeps up with my household of two men, one teen and one female. And football uniform items. Few washes a day and never lets me down. It is not a fancy front loader but I prefer the top loads. It has everything I need and is a very nice washer. It is simple but what I need. The price was excellent. Great value for a great washer. It is one of the cheaper styles but like I said it has everything I need for a great price.

I have the set and the washer is fantastic. A part went out years ago and replaced it with no issues since. The dryer has had the thermostat and heating element changed and now something else has gone out and it will not run. But it ran great when it did. Other than my washer and dryer being clean in appearance, the overall shape, size and construct doesnt phase me and looks pretty consistent from one brands product to the other. I received mine as a gift from my mother, so in terms of value from the standpoint that it was a gift, the washer and dryer are badass.

I love my washer and dryer! Kenmore is a very great and dependable brand! The only brand I would trust and use!!! The products are well worth the money I spent on buying them and they are very durable and last a long time! I have currently had my washer and dryer for 3 years and never had a problem out of them. They work the same as they did the day I bought them!!!

My Kenmore washer cleans clothes well. Its a powerful machine. I got the washer and dryer at the same time, but the dryer died after a year. Washer is still going strong. The washer has a large capacity. Even with a central agitator, my comforter still fits fine. My washer is still working perfectly after a year. The dryer didnt last this long. Both the Kenmore washer and dryer look as they are supposed to. They are white, rectangular, and narrow enough to fit in my tiny laundry room. I am satisfied by the value of my Kenmore washer because it still works as well as the day I got it.

I had it for several years and I didnt have a single problem with it. Best investment I ever made. Unfortunately after a long while it did break down. This washer or dryer was insanely reliable. In the time span that I owned this machine, it didnt break down a single time. There is nothing more reliable than this. This looked very modern in my house. It was very stylish. The best part about it is it is one of the only washer or dryers out there that look good and perform well. There is no other machine out there that you can get more out of your money for. It is relatively cheap and performs as if it were the most expensive washer our there.

Ive had my washer and dryer for over three years and have had an overall good experience with this brand. I did experience a problem with the dryer knob and had to replace it but this was at my own fault.

We bought this replace our Whirlpool front load dryer and found that it was a much better quality. It took much less time to dry our clothes and never scorched. It takes less than half the time of my previous dryer and after a year we havent had a single maintenance issue. It is heavy duty drying for many towels and jeans but has never damaged a delicate item as well. Its a great fit for our smaller sized washroom. Lint is easy access and the controls are very easy to understand and set. The door is easy open when hands are filled. Considering you must pay more for better quality this dryer was a great buy. We didnt overpay and still have the same performance of much pricier options. Definitely a great purchase.

The Kenmore washer was highlighted by the store and had a wonderful rebate incentive and reviews on them. Said it was one of the best on the market. The washer and dryer work extremely effective by drying my washables very fast and very dry and by saving power and being energy friendly. It is very durable and has endured a lot of usage by my family and me. It could be a bit more energy friendly and energy-efficient by saving me money on my power bill and saving energy being eco-saver/friendly. The filter system could be a bit stronger as well.

We were looking to upgrade and I needed a washer dryer that could stack. We chose this washer dryer because we like the Kenmore brand. My husband and I looked at several brands and we thought this was the best option for our needs. Its a stackable front loader and its also a high efficiency and I thought it would be better than my old washer. But it doesnt seem to clean smaller loads as well as Id like and we often rewash it. Also, the front loader gets build up in the rubber around the front and cause a smell. Its difficult to clean that area too.

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

Complete satisfaction with both. I love the washer and dryer. Also have a freezer which I am very Happy with. I find the quality and endurance to be consistent with Sears products. I would be proud to purchase other Kenmore products.

I have a Kenmore Washer and Dryer that I bought together about 3 years ago. The dryer has worked perfectly without any mishaps. The washer on the other hand has leaked and had the pipe burst about 3 times now. The first year it was great and then the second year is when everything went bad. I would recommend getting a Kenmore dryer because its amazing and fast. If you like wet laundry rooms, then buy the washer too.

Washer continues to stop because its unbalanced. Takes all day to wash one load and end up having to hang in my shower to dry enough to put in dryer. Service says nothing wrong but I can pay for repair to come out and look at it. They know this is a problem with these machines. Plenty of complaint.

Ive never had any issues with Kenmore. It always does a good job drying - at times if I am drying a large item (like a comforter) I dry it twice. Its not fancy - but its got a simple and clean look and I like that. Its very simple with not many settings options - but its not ugly or old looking. We were looking for a budget dryer after having a more expensive one and having lots of issues with it. We feel like we get a ton of bang for our buck with our simple Kenmore. However, I wish it had more temperature options and more time options - maybe a fluff cycle. Overall its a good, sturdy and reliable dryer!

I have had my washer and dryer for about 18 years and knock on wood it has never give me any problems. It take a licking and keeps on kicking. I would recommend them to anyone. Mine are getting old and outdated but still does the job and I would buy that brand again. The appearance is not very pretty anymore, but they are in a washroom so that does not matter. What matters is that they are still after all these years still functional. I cant remember what I paid for the set 19 years ago but it was worth whatever it was. They have seen to my need and I do about 4 loads a week every week.

Satisfactory, no special features but the price was appropriate and the job gets done at the end of the wash day. The dryer was easy to use and Kenmores customer was responsive and helpful. No issues as of yet, but I have not owned the dryer long enough to make an educated assessment. Based on price it has lasted long enough to justify it. Does not stand out with appearance, there is no trim and it is a very plain dryer but for the price that is an acceptable compromise. Door opens down can be a bit inconvenient. The value of this Kenmore brand is unbeatable. The reliability and features are missing but the price on sale can be fantastic and I am willing to overlook certain things for a good price.

They are about 15 years old and have required minimal maintenance. They are He3 models and have performed very well over the years with lots of settings for almost every need. The Kenmore He3 full size luxury front load washer dryer pedestal set had a luxury price tag that was shocking but I have enjoyed their functionality. I would buy the current models if I have room for them.

The washer worked well enough. Clothes went in dirty and came out clean. The dryer also worked. Clothes were dried usually in one cycle, unless we put in an especially heavy load.

Uses low water and cleans well. The dryer dries fast and is very quiet. Easy to balance. The washer cleans very well with low spin rumble. I love this washer... great warranty and long lasting product. I have had mine for a few years and never had any problem with either even the paint holds up to many uses and loads. I like the appearance... its compact but yet big enough for large and extra large family laundry loads. Easy to read controls and a very hard and sturdy paint finish. After a lot of physical in-store research and online searches the was the best price around for this great washer and dryer combo. With the great warranty its even a better value.

It was powerful and reliable. The wash options were great. Never needed a repair or had any problems. It also saved on water and electricity expenses. It was the one washer that I never had any issues with. It never failed or had any problems. I would only buy Kenmore in the future. It would put repairmen out of business for good! It had a new XE appearance and wasnt over the top with options. It look great of in our house and was very easy to match both with another Kenmore or any other name brand dryer. Fantastic value. It was very competitive in pricing and when you take the reliability into consideration, the value only gets better. They could actually charge more and I would still probably buy them. But dont.

I am writing so that Kenmore 600 Series washer is taken off the market. I paid a lot of money for this machine and it is awful. Doesnt get the clothes clean. Sometimes the clothes come out with dry spots. How can the clothes get clean if they are not in water. I have owned Kenmore washers and dryers even appliances over the last 45 years and have never had any trouble. Or my laundry come out dirty. I moved and sold my old washer and dryer. I kick myself everyday for not bringing it with me but I had it for 15 years and thought it wouldnt make the trip. Why would you change your washing machine to the piece of crap I am stuck with until I can afford a new machine. Which I will research before I buy. Shame on you Kenmore.

I have had my Kenmore appliances such as a washer and dryer for about 3 years. There isnt one thing I dont like about them. They get the job done. There is anything fancy about them but they work and thats all that matter to me. They make my clothes clean and fresh every time.
