I purchased a Kenmore ultra dishwasher along with stove and fridge. 1 year and 3 moths later the motor went out in the dishwasher. The warranty was up at 1 year. We called a Sears technician out because we purchased at sears. They would not stand behind their product, after hours on the phone. Was told $400 for the motor, plus labor.

I bought this over the range microwave from Sears a couple of years ago. I thought that 1000 watts would be plenty. However most food that you buy for the microwave directions, usually state 1100 watt ovens. The food doesnt seem to stay hot as long as food cooked on the range or in a conventional oven.

The Kenmore Dishwasher is the perfect size. Its sleek and not too bulky. It fits really well in my kitchen and does not take up too much space. I like the black color of this dishwasher. It looks great. Its modern and attractive. It is also easy to wipe down and keep the outside door looking clean. Overall, this dishwasher does a great job. For really tough, stuck on food, I usually have to scrub it by hand first. But it still does a good job getting dishes clean. It was worth the price. It wasnt too overly expensive, and I feel that it was a good value for the money. It does what Id expect from a dishwasher in this price range.

Door storage was fantastic. Ice maker did not take up a significant amount of door space. Being able to alter the configuration of shelving was a nice feature as well. However, will never buy a side-by-side refrigerator again due to lack of freezer space. We have chosen to move to another model but did not purchase a Kenmore in the last purchase. Cost of the refrigerator and the competition of other refrigerators examined was well within our range. We also chose this refrigerator because it was our first personal refrigerator purchase and seemed to be a great purchase.

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

This is the worst stove I have ever had, the oven control panel went out one year and two weeks after purchase from Sears, replaced the oven panel cost over $100.00. One year later it has gone out again. BAD BAD STOVE... DO Not buy this stove.

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

My wife bought this microwave oven in 2014. It came with a set of dishwasher and oven. We have been using for a long time without having any problems. Thats why I gave it such a high rating. The price was not bad. I would refer it to anybody who was looking for a nice microwave oven.

We purchased a Sears slide-in gas range model 790.367 in 2008. Up to this point we have had some issues but nothing major. At this point the racks will no longer stay in place. We learned about this the hard way. This is the same problem others have described. I discussed this with the manager of our local Sears who was unaware of the problem but made a call to a long time service tech who told him that he was aware of this problem. He suggested we slide the unit out and push the walls in. We were not comfortable with this. We are considering making a service appointment but are concerned about paying a lot of money and having the problem recur. I chatted with the Sears expert who was not at all helpful. We are at a loss about what to do. We consider this a serious safety issue and will not use the oven. Like others we paid a lot of money for an oven we cant use. We feel that this is clearly a product defect and that Sears should help us.

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

My wife was baking cookies in our Kenmore oven. Thankfully she, her friend, and both of our kids were not standing near it. All of a sudden, for no apparent reason, the glass on the oven door exploded violently sending pieces of glass flying up to 10 feet away from the oven. Fortunately, our kitchen island took the brunt of the explosion. We were amazed to find thousands of pieces of glass lying on our kitchen floor.

The washer is great performance because it wash your clothes so good then take the stains out and wash your clothes very quick. I love this washer. Have it for 5 years and loved every loads I wash. This washer is very reliable. Have a warranty on it so if it act up I will get a replacement but right now it still working great. Im going get the dryer sooner. The appearance is very nice when I first got it and it was easy to worked it and know what to do when washing your clothes in loads. Im telling everyone to get this dryer if they in need of a good dryer. The value of this dryer is very low price. There are a lot of dryer on sale but do your research online and you will see which dryer you want to buy with the right price range.

About 2 years ago I bought the full elite kitchen appliances. BIG MISTAKE! Few months after installation of all appliances the dishwasher didnt clean well. Called for service. The idiot that came said my dishes were too clean then the fridge was leaking water by the water dispenser and another idiot said maybe we close it too hard then the double oven trapped moisture between the glass and the third idiot said because we are by the beach and its cold outside and the oven is hot - so the worst appliances service and all. I will never ever buy anything from sears ever again.

This oven cost $1,400. In the fall of 2009, the motherboard crashed. In 2010, it was only used for 8 months. I returned it sometime in November of 2012 because the motherboard completely went down. The manager at Sears, Sarasota, said nothing can be done, but they can give me a 10% discount on a new stove. Talk about not standing behind your sales. My advice to everyone is to buy from a small store so that owner has a commitment to you and the community. I’m taking it back to Sears and dumping it on their doorstep, with sign that says “New stove. No support” and my email on it. What more can I do?

Ive never had a washer where I didnt have to pre-soak stains for them to actually come out. This washer does that, which is awesome since I have a chef husband and 16 month baby whose clothes get tons of stains. It has a huge capacity! I can wash entire loads without the washer becoming unbalanced and making a racket, which saves me a lot of time and aggravation! I love the silver color instead of plain old white. It doesnt take up any more space than our old washer, but its much deeper so it can hold more. The buttons are easily accessible and the functions are easy to read and understand. Everything I could ask for from a washer are included with this one. Im so happy that I bought it. The low price was a huge plus as well. It beat out any other washer in the price range as well as any that were more expensive.

I have owned all Sears appliances for the last 33 years. Until now I will no longer purchase them. Our electric range 790 was on preheat and began to flash lights on the clock screen off and on then made a loud pop noise. Started to spit sparks along with loud static noise. Then fire came out the back and black smoke. I had my son help me pull the oven away from the wall and unplug it. If I wasnt home when this happened I dont think I would have a house to come home to. I will no longer buy any Sears appliances.

I do not recommend buying Kenmore Elite appliances. We bought the suite and all 4 appliances have required repeat service calls. The refrigerator has broken down twice and had to be replaced. The range had to be repaired. The dishwasher had to be repaired. The microwave had to be repaired and might need to be replaced. If you buy these appliances, you will have to buy the extended warranty otherwise, you will be faced with thousands of dollars of repair cost once the original warranty expires. I expect that these appliances will need to be replaced within 3-5 years and we will not buy Kenmore Elite.

I purchased a Kenmore oven and the racks keep falling while cooking. I called the Sears outlet store where I purchased the oven and was told to try buying new oven racks. I purchased new oven racks through Sears and still while cooking a turkey the same problem existed with new racks. It caused a grease fire and I was burnt. After several calls to Sears I finally spoke to a corporate person who sent a repairman out at Sears expense. The Repairman said he could not fix the problem the oven walls were defective. The serviceman immediately called Sears from my home on his cell phone and I was offered 20% off a new oven if I purchased from Sears.I told the corporate person I would not accept that offer of 20% and that my oven is only three years old. It should last at least 15 years and would be talking to his supervisor on the next business day. I also told him I was going to seek legal advice, expose Sears through our local news station in the SF Bay Area if this issue was not resolved. Im shocked that this has taken so many phone calls and a service call and I still was offered 20% off a new oven and not a replacement oven. I have purchased numerous appliances through Sears and never received a run around such as this. This is a Health and Safety issue. I see other complaints such as mine online regarding wall ovens purchased through Sears. We should all seek legal help and expose Sears on the way they are handling their health and safety issues.

I purchased a Kenmore Range model 790.9445. Today we pressed the bake key set the oven to 350 and the control panel started to sizzle and catch on fire. The off key was press and the oven was unplugged from the wall. I tried contacting the store with no answer then the service department. After trying for 3 hours I got through gave them my information and was place on hold for 45 minutes and was hung up on. So I called back this time I was answered right away and placed on hold after giving them my information, I was hung up on again. I am now sitting on hold for the last hour with a new telephone number for the Sears Customer care network, they appreciate my patience which is wearing thin with sears 40 minutes later. I got this number from another customer adviser site which was an email from a SEAR rep. I dont think they want my business. 1800 549-4505 and it is english

I selected the Kenmore Electric Double Wall, Built In Oven 30, Model 790 48772901, October 2013, during the new construction of our retirement home. The oven was installed by a professional, licensed electrical contractor. My average usage of this oven was about one or two times a week; a little more frequently during the winter months. At about nine months old, the blower motor began making noises. My husband, a retired HVACR business owner, took apart the oven and found that the motor bearings were seizing up on the cooling/ventilating motor due to cheap manufacturing, not enough applied bearing oil, and poor design - the cooling/ventilating motor sits on top of the oven; consequently, absorbing a tremendous amount of heat. My husband was able to apply a large bath of (top of the line) bearing oil to keep it from seizing and we managed to limp along for about a year with this garbage cooling/ventilating motor.I went to the Kenmore parts site today to order a replacement. I was astounded to find that the website couldnt find the model number of my two year old oven! After several attempts, I gave up and went to another site (non Sears) that provides parts for multi brand appliances. Not only were they able to cross reference the part number for the cooling/ventilating motor, it was in stock and available for shipment immediately. Of course, the out of pocket cost was over $60.00 for a motor that, in the commercial refrigeration trade, would cost one about $20.00. I shudder to think of what Sears would have charged for the part! Not to mention the service call fee.I went through each page of the accompanying owners manual and schematics and found nothing with regard to a cooling/ventilating motor part number. The only information shown was the error codes. Of course, if the error code ** flashed on the oven screen, the consumer was advised by Sears to call their service department. Imagine that! These people dont want Harry Homeowner to repair their Kenmore items! Its just another way to ** money from the American purchaser. Once again, the average consumer is being subjected to cheap manufacturing, out of pocket expenses to repair a new item, and the inconvenience of making the repairs. Those without the know how to make their own repairs are forced to call Sears or another repair service and pay dearly.I am very angry with the retailers and manufacturing brokers in our country. We can no longer call them manufacturers because just about everything we purchase, was manufactured in a foreign country! I yearn for the appliances I had to leave in Baltimore. They were ten years old or older, but were manufactured so much better! I had no issues with my washer, dryer, dishwasher, refrigerator, ovens, freezers, or microwave. Most were GE, Kenmore or Whirlpool. Once upon a time, the manufacturing industries in this country took pride in what they made, how it was made, and how long it would stand the test of time. Today, the average consumer is subjected to planned obsolescence and the lifespans of our purchased products are becoming shorter and shorter.

Poor design on the range door with sharp edges caused me a trip to the doctor today. The door shut quickly while putting something in the oven and while pulling my hand back. the sharp inside edges of the door pulled two areas of skin off my wrist. This is an obvious defect that needs to be addressed.

Kenmore double wall oven 790.49529312 only 2 years old will not maintain temp. Licensed repairman told me that Kenmore places its name on multiple makes and found it to actually be a Frigidaire product. Guy came to home replaced motherboard for $300.00. Did not fix the problem so used Sears chat to assist w/ diagnosing issue, now being told temp sensors for $132.00 for parts only, need 1 for each oven need to be replaced. Issue is oven will hold temp when empty but try to cook anything in it and it will drop to 200 degrees. Told humidity affects the way oven picks up temp readings. $2799.00 originally priced piece of garbage. Cant talk to actual person unless you can understand a thick India accent. Do not buy from Sears.

I purchased a Kenmore Gas Range Model 790.74419810 on September 6, 2019 from a local Sears store in Southern California as a gift for my niece. The appliance was not delivered to my niece until October 29, 2019. Just 29 days after having the appliance installed my niece was cooking Thanksgiving dinner on November 28, 2019 at 350 degrees when she heard a loud crash from the kitchen. She ran in the kitchen to discover that the inner oven door glass had shattered all over the inside of the range peppering Thanksgiving dinner with shards of hot glass. Her Thanksgiving dinner was completely ruined and the only thing she had to be thankful about was that her two year old son was nowhere near the shards of hot glass when the oven door glass shattered. After further research the day after Thanksgiving we learned that Sears has had this issue with Kenmore ranges ever since 2011 and numerous injuries have resulted over the past 8 years. Despite countless complaints to the CPSC Sears has chosen not to issue a recall nor take the affected model off the market. My wife and I attempted, on November 29, 2019, over the phone with the third party in India Sears has outsourced customer to, to acquire a refund for the obviously defective product but the only response we received was a technician would come out to verify that the glass had actually shattered.As a last resort to get some sort of satisfaction, my wife and I returned to the Sears store on Black Friday November 29, 2109 where we purchased the defective product and forced the store manager to pick up the defective range and refund our money. The Kenmore Gas Range Model 790 is a dangerous product that will soon severely injure someone. Sears is negligent and has with full knowledge continued to sell a dangerous and defective product and all the while focused on profit rather than safety. Please help save the public from this corporate greed.

Kenmore Elite model 790.9750 - Purchased this Kenmore Double Oven from Sears in 2011. The bottom oven racks are not holding and the ridges that hold the racks have rusted. This is dangerous as it causes hot messy spills and burns when the racks and pans fall to bottom. Sears and Kenmore both deny it is a problem and one sends me to other with complaint. I know this is a problem for many of us consumers that bought these ovens. Frustrated.

Kenmore electric range, Model 790.92809012 (6-years old) encountered F10 error (run-away temperature). I set range temperature to 170 degrees for one hour. Our house filled w/ smoke, smoke alarms went off. If our Son had not been home, our pet bird would have died and our grandsons inhaled a lot of smoke. Please remove this range from inventory; extremely dangerous appliance - almost cost lives. Where can I go to get a refund - or replacement model? We are warning our homeowners insurance company of the danger of this product.

Ive had this range for 6-7 years now. The motherboard was replaced 8 times in 4 years (fading, blinking, etc) and yet Sears would NOT replace it, they did extend my warranty one time, but its the absolute worst. If this range (Gas, Elite, Model 790) is not a lemon, I dont know what is. The repair guy (Mikey, on a first name basis because he was here so much) came to replace it one time and the one he brought, brand new, didnt work. I would never purchase another Sears product. Kenmore used to the Gold Standard and Sears used to be the King of customer service, no longer.

My 2005 Kenmore Electric Range (model 790.96619401 Serial No. VF45126081) caught fire this afternoon. Thankfully, my husband and I were present, as were my FIVE children. We were left shaken to say the least! I was preheating my oven when I heard a crackling sound. Suddenly, I saw a spark that quickly turned to flames shooting from behind the control panel. We were able to pull the appliance from the wall and unplug it, at which point the flames died out. There was no damage in or around the electrical socket and the damage to my wall was DIRECTLY behind the vent where the flames came from. I am disturbed to see how many others have had similar experiences with Kenmore appliances.Sears has been little to no help in resolving this matter. It took 5 associates before someone even took an incident report! I was told they could send a technician for repairs at my expense, since I am no longer under warranty! This is not even the 1st issue I have had with this company. Six months after I purchased my $1500 refrigerator, there was a recall for chance of fire! PLEASE BEWARE! DO NOT BUY SEARS OR KENMORE!!!

Im pretty satisfied with my stove. The knobs to turn on the burner turn to the left instead of the right (Im still adjusting to that), the self cleaning oven isnt great...when used, the racks became very discolored and I still had to clean the bottom of the stove.

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

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

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

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

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

We own a Kenmore Elite double oven that will no longer hold the racks in place in the bottom oven. This is a very dangerous defect that has caused multiple spills and also burns. Sears claims to be unaware of this defect event though there are many complaints about this same problem on the internet. The problem is caused by the walls of the oven bowing out due to regular use and cleaning of the oven. Sears refuses to issue a recall on the oven and has offered to provide a service call at our expense which does not even guarantee that it can be fixed properly. If this were a car, Im sure it would have to be recalled but I do not believe there are adequate consumer laws that cover appliances. Sears does not stand behind their products.

I purchased this Kenmore convection range in July 2011 online from Sears for $782.16 with free delivery. A few weeks ago, I was using the self-cleaning cycle when I heard a pop and saw a spark of light. I turned the cycle off, let it cool and turned the cleaning cycle back on and finished the cleaning. In my heart I knew there was something not right. I tested the preheat and it seemed slow, but I was able to use the oven a few times after that. Then the last time I turned it on, I got a weird chlorine smell/burning plastic?...That was it... No more oven. After the disbelief subsided, I started making phone calls. Per Sears... my one year warranty was up and I was up a creek. Sears repair sent a repairman ($80.25 with tax) and I was told it would be $348.02 to repair the electronic range control and overlay.Needless to say, the repairman had little to say except, These things are mass produced, its the manufacturer (Kenmore? probably not) not Sears. I guess Sears only sells the junk. After that they have no responsibility. He also had the gall to say, It is what it is, and left coupons for a percentage off a new stove. The little Troll even gave me a line about purchasing a new warranty after they repaired their junk. TWILIGHT ZONE... I will never buy another Kenmore product nor will I buy from Sears. If I could give a negative star rating I would... Now I need to go look for a stove as I am raising three grandchildren and they like to eat regular... Guess you get what you pay for... or not!

This washer is easy to operate and works good and works faster. After washing I am contented with how my laundry feels clean and water is not dripping because it is squeeze out good. I recommend this product, it is made in good quality and we have it for four years now but we never encountered any minor or major problem yet. The appearance of the washer is okay and slim. Very traditional and just fit right in our laundry room. Moreover it is nice and easy to clean. It is really a good value of money because it came from a trusted brand and they are known of producing of high-quality materials. It is proven and tested of our small family.

Very good product. The refrigerator was a plain Jane white and it looked clean. It was just right for our little family but our family got larger and it started to get cramped and thats part of the reason we bought another one. But its performance stood up. For over 6 years it was time for an upgrade but it has done a good job. It was a fair value for the time most refrigerators were in that price range at the time and it was a reputable company with a good name.

Our Oven/Stove is a Induction Stove top and its wonderful, the best appliance we have ever owned. Set the temperature the same for cooking items and get great results. Cools quickly, no burning your fingers. The confection setting for the Oven works so much better than a standard oven as well, cooks more evenly. Love this appliance.

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

I have owned by Kenmore Washer and Dryer for over 20 years. It has been reliable and I have had only a couple minor issues with them, but not bothersome enough to call for repair. Occasionally, in the washer, a load will become unbalanced and because I am not strong enough to adjust the feet on the bottom, I just rearranged the clothes inside the washer to stop the loud banging noise. With the dryer, the only issue I have is that it seems that the heat sensor might be off a little because it feels to me like the dryer is always drying on a high setting not matter what setting I select. To deal with this on my delicate fabrics, I dry them on touch-up which is a somewhat cool setting. But I would say for owning these appliances for over 20 years, I am very satisfied with them.

Purchased about 13 years ago so I realize things can start going wrong. This was my first (and last) glass top range as I had always wanted one. The heating is not stable. Of course being electric, it does turn itself on and off but that just regulates the temp of the element not your pan. Hard to keep clean especially if you spill something that has sugar in it, like bbq sauce, and it burns on as you still have to cook and burner takes a while to cool. I grew up using gas stove/oven at home. Upon moving around, I have come to get used to electric and when glass tops came along, I really wanted one. I am over it now. Ready to get gas back.

I feel Kenmore products are the best. I have a self-cleaning oven and the range is natural gas. Its reliable, about 12 years old, never had a problem. I would always use Kenmore and recommend this item to others.

The microwave has multiple options and looks very nice. It heats the contents to my desired level and the turntable and size of the oven is very useful. The cost of the item was very reasonable considering the amount of options along with the quality of the oven.

Love the brand. I have been a Kenmore customer since I moved out on my own. Both my parents and Grandparents were Kenmore lovers. I have had both washer and dryers as well as stove, microwave. I have never had the brand fail me. I have even purchased Kenmore appliances used due to their reliability and my inability to afford a new appliance. My fridge has even cooling. No warm spots. There is also more than enough room for all of my needs. The height is good, all my bottles and jugs fit upright, no laying things down so the contents can leak out. Its also easy to see what youre looking for. I like the ability to change my shelves to fit the needs, such as the holidays fitting all the pies, desserts and salads in and still having room for all the regular fridge items. However, I dont like the plastic shelf barriers. They should be metal. So if something is a bit large it just bulges instead of breaking. I dont care for shortness of the drawers. I thought they were longer so things like stalks of celery and bags of carrots fit without trimming them.

My wall unit lasted for 13 years, but I think it overheated the circuit board when are used the Clean setting so I will definitely never use that function on any oven I own. Since then, there is an error code on the digital display and it shuts off intermittently while trying to cook or bake something.

Works very fast and gets clothes very clean provided you use the right soap. Made sure that the lines are connected correctly. This was an item I bought on eBay and found that it was worth the price. Bought it bundled with a dryer. Cleans my items every time without fail. Only became unreliable when the top started to rust so I called the washer repair guy and asked to have the rust taken off. Instead they replaced the entire top of the washer. Appearance remained great until the rust showed up. The rust made the top of the dryer get dark and brown and strange. The appearance fell apart at that point. It was strange to see my clothes not look so nice at that point. It was very cheap, only a few hundred dollars so I was okay with the item totally falling apart when it did despite the fact that it was inconvenient. The value for me was perceived in the amount of money that I ultimately did not spend.

My oven and stove top are great. I never had a problem. True to temperature. Cooks evenly. No issues at all. I would highly recommend this product. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. You wont be disappointed if you purchase this range.

It took me 2 years to get my oven fixed after I moved into my new house. I put up with what I now call customer abuse from Sears which included the franchise owner calling me a idiot for calling the 800 number in case of malfunction to the oven. Sent off for repairs 3 times for weeks. A young repair boy came to the house and told me it could not be fixed and when I slapped papers that I was holding down on the kitchen table he claimed I had assaulted him. And when Sears finally sent out another repairman a year later, it was the same boy and I refused him entry into my house! Finally a local repairman replaced the motherboard and it has worked well until it simply blew up today.I will never ever again in my life buy anything... absolutely nothing! From Sears ever again! It is overpriced junk made in a foreign country. They are bleeding every penny they can get from a name that use to mean quality, workmanship, and service. They cannot even be civil to customers anymore. I would not buy a speck of dust from them. If there was. Rating lower than one dot, that is the rating I would give Sears for anything! My one dot does not mean I am angry.... it means Sears is a rip-off company now.

This range has given us problems since the beginning. The racks dont slide well and can cause burning because they get stuck when trying to move them in and out. The range was almost brand new and I had to have the panel with controls replaced because it cracked, then a year later we had to have the whole cook top & burners replaced. Every time I use the self-cleaning feature, the top of the oven door gets a burn mark on it so now it is all brown making it look terrible in our new kitchen. It even melted the whole side of our microwave on the counter nearby in the self-cleaning mode. I had a tech out and he said it was safe and just to keep using it. I dont feel safe and it looks like trash. I called the resolution hotline and got a person who was from another country and I couldnt understand him so I asked for the corporate office. I was put on hold then disconnected immediately.I called right back and again, got a person I could not understand... She refused to give me the corporate number but transferred me. Now they tell me it should be safe and the burned top of the oven door is just cosmetic and they will not replace the door or the range. This is unacceptable and no consumer should have to accept having a range in their new kitchen that is brown and burned. The fact that it also melted the microwave nearby on the counter, does NOT make me feel safe in any way. The representative said I had to have 4 documented service calls for this problem and that the tech that was out to check it, stated it was safe. It is the most frustrating thing & I will not purchase any Sears products in the future, nor should you!

I purchased my Kenmore electric glass cooktop approximately 10 years ago, and its been the worst stove my husband and I have ever had! Even from the beginning! It takes forever to heat up. Ive had cheap stoves that preheat in half the time than this stove and this one cost us a pretty penny! Not to mention the burners that are supposed to be quick boil, HA! Its like that old adage, a watched pot never boils! And the minute we got it home, liquid leaked down the vent holes and got between the glass, and there was nothing in the manual about how to clean it, so there it stayed, disgusting looking for the past 10 years, annoying the ** out of me. Until today when I saw something on Google and YouTube on how to clean that, FINALLY! So I did. Well, guess what? Those darn vents are extremely DANGEROUS! They are like razor blades. Sears should make those things so they are dull around the edges. I sliced my finger open on them and had to go to urgent care. Why is it so darn difficult to clean inside that glass anyway, yet so easy for it to get dirty? Nobody want drips of grease running down inside their glass forever! Disgusting! Ir to have to injure themselves trying to clean it. On top of that, now my oven front has a gap from the glass! What do I do? I hate Kenmore! Worst oven ever!

I have always trusted Kenmore appliances to deliver value, performance and reliability. The fact that they are readily available in most areas in America matters since I move a lot. Its nice to know a dealer is nearby for necessary repairs, or more likely, to buy a newer version. There were many models to choose from so I could get the one that fit my apartment situation perfectly. I had a basic model and it was a size good there but also transitioned to my first house with no problem. It was very easy to clean, and keep clean. However its always a battle to chose between amount of features versus price. And more variety in shelving arrangements would have been nice. Gallon milk jugs and 2 liter soda bottles are a challenge in smaller fridges.

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

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

Works well and has a nice range of temp. I would buy it again for sure. That you are in the market for a no frills but a power horse of a fridge check this one out. The size is about average for what they used to be. I know now some high-end models can hold a lot more but this is more than enough for the average household. It reminds me of every other fridge that has come out in the last twenty-five years that is the basic model of course. Big white surface to attach all your magnets and school report cards too. The cost is no more or less than the average fridge of that type and size. Of course you can spend a lot more for side by side doors and in door water and ice but those most people do not need in reality.

We purchased a Kenmore oven in October of 2014. While remodeling our kitchen, we moved the oven approximately 20 feet. The following day the oven door exploded.

They have good equipment. No problem. l would tell everyone that need stove, washer, dishwasher, and all appliances from Kenmore. I have a Kenmore freezer. A Kenmore dishwasher. When my dishes stop working they came out to check and got it fix it. My friend is buying a washer and dryer on Oct.3. 2015 from Kenmore.

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

We have a Sears Kenmore self-cleaning oven. Last week the broiler came on, when the oven was off! I thought I smelled something hot in the house and found the oven extremely hot, on the verge of being on fire. After shutting off the breaker and allowing the oven to cool, my husband turned the breaker back on. Oven is still off. The broiler came on. We allowed the oven to cool again. My husband removed the back panel and disconnected the broiler. However, we are not comfortable with the stove and will be replacing it - but Not with a Sears product. My daughter had the same range. Two years ago my granddaughter (age 16) was baking cookies. She put a tray of cookies in the oven, left the room and the self-cleaning came on. The cookies started on fire and she could not open the oven because the self-cleaning lock was on. Stove was a total loss. Lousy product.

The racks in my oven started to fall off the supports on the side of the oven, dumping my casseroles, turkeys, roasts etc. I noticed it for the first time the first Christmas that I was roasting a heavy turkey and when I leaned in to remove the turkey; the rack collapsed under the roasting pan, spraying hot turkey fat all over the oven, the floor and me! I assumed I had done something wrong such as put the wrong rack in the wrong position. It continued to happen whenever I cooked something heavy until 3 years later everything I try to cook causes the racks to collapse. A service technician verified what I suspected. The oven body has expanded (probably because of inferior materials). I can no longer use my 3 year old oven and Sears as well as Electrolux (the manufacturer) refuse to do anything about it as I did not purchase an extended warranty. I will never purchase Kenmore appliances again!!!!

My 1.8 year old water heater started producing water that is too hot. So, I turned the thermostat setting to Low. Still getting temps of as high as 147 - 157 F. Concerned that grandkids may get burned. If I adjust the setting even a little bit below Low, the temp drops to 92F. Note: Owners manual says Low setting should produce 110F water. Factoring in the possibility of short repeated heating cycles causing expected readings of 20F higher, it is still producing water 10-17F higher than expected with no ability to lower the temp without dropping too much (92F).2May17 - Sears Technician diagnosed and ordered gas control valve (thermostat). 10May17 - Sears Technician installed new valve. Would not start. He conferred with Sears and AO Smith tech support staff. They determined that the valve must be defective. Ordered new valve. Next morning I (the customer) tried heater once again. It worked fine, but produced same hot temps as before.15May17 - Sears technician returned. I shared my temp readings with him. He contacted Sears & AO Smith tech support. They concluded that gas valve was working properly. They rationalized that the problem was related to stacking (short heat cycles). I pointed out that even if we allow an additional 20F for that, it is 10-15F too high with no ability to lower the temperature to a proper range. They suggested installing a mixing valve and checking single handed faucets to see of having any cross-over issues (i.e. turn on cold but still pulling hot water). Closed call but told technician intended to register a product complaint with Sears/AO Smith but I was very satisfied with his service/help. Total labor cost for Service Call: $209. Original cost of heater install $1215.

The price of the dishwasher was in the price range that fit my familys budget. It is nice to get what you are paying for and that your money is spent on a item/dishwasher that will make you say, Money was well spent. I enjoy the size, because it dont take up too much space in my kitchen. I hope that when I purchase a new one that the size will fit where we want lose counter space. My kitchen is not big, so I need the dishwasher to be a decent size that can get the job done.I would improve the function so that it is easy to use. I need a dishwasher that is easy to function, but have the power to do marvelous job of getting the dishes clean and spotless glassware. Durable and long-lasting is something that needs to be a plus, especially when this is a important piece in homes. I wish it can be controlled with a remote, so that if I forget to start it I can do it with the remote. Also, make the writings bigger, and the knobs are more easy to read as to where you can tell that you have it on the correct setting picked.

We replaced our 18-year-old Kenmore Glass Top Range with another one, once we lost a two burners. Because we were pleased with the old one otherwise, we replaced it with an updated and similar model. Although, we like the convection aspect of this range, the glass portion cracked mysteriously and we had to have two associates come out to confirm the problem to replace it under warranty. The newer Kenmore, Whirlpool appliance do not seem as durable as the older one. We are disappointed and will look to other brands in the future. Glass broke within the first 6 months

The washer machine doesnt fail to work. I have had it for a long time and it still hasnt worn its performance. It cleans everything perfectly and without fail. I can always trust this machine. It has never proven bad. This machine is reliable for any clothes and large to fit them into it. The appearance of this washer machine is marvelous. It fits perfectly in next to the dryer. The funny thing is the two machines next to one another fit perfectly in the laundry room. It is well worth the value. It has never let me down. I have had this washer machine for 3 years and it still acts as if its brand new. Im amazed.

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

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

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

I bought back in 2005 a refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher and oven from Sears. All Kenmore. Well lets see. The refrigerator starting rusting on the outside in about 5 yrs. then the microwave handle broke in about 6 yrs. and the dishwasher panel on the bottom all the paint flaked off and now the oven that I have hardly used has a hole in the inside of the oven... Its a flippin crack. Rust and more rust where the racks slide... I will never purchase anything from Sears again... This is junk...

Kenmore Elite model 790.9912 - We purchased this electric range from Sears almost 10 years ago. A few years back, the computer panel malfunctioned, and had to be replaced. Yesterday while making dinner, I had the oven set at 300 degrees, and I had one of the burners set at 5.5. Suddenly I heard a noise like a buzzing sound and then a pop, and the entire width of the back of the range went up in flames. I shut the burner off, and the fire went out. The oven got so hot that the door locked as it does in the self-cleaning mode, and we are unable to open it. The wall behind the range is charred, and the wiring behind the range is entirely burned. We called Sears and explained what happened. The sales representative said “Well it is almost ten years old.”

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

Purchased range on March 19/2011. April 2015 I started to self cleaning, pushed the start and the oven died. Only the stove top works. Service came to repair and charged me $96.05 and told my husband the cost to repair would be approx. $1,000.00 plus tax & plus labour. They also informed him that this happens a lot with this brand and the manuf. does not care. I checked if there was a recall but I am not good with the computer and DID not find anything. I would never buy a Kenmore again and never shop at Sears again. I am cutting my Sears card after I finish.

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

I purchased a Kenmore brand gas range in February 2008 for over $1,000 on sale. Sears installed. I found out upon delivery that it was manufactured by Electrolux. I was unhappy with the stovetop from the start. Its almost impossible to clean once something spilled on it while hot. Functionally, it worked okay. However, when doing self-cleaning process, the oven never really seemed to get clean. On Saturday, March 16, 2013, I ran a cleaning cycle for only 2 hours as it was not that soiled. As per the salespersons instructions, I also cleaned the cast iron stovetop grates in the oven. I noticed that after 30 minutes after cycle completion, stove is still radiating a lot of heat. It was then I noticed that the clear cover over the touch plate on the control panel was melted and discolored. The touch pads would not function. I contacted Sears Appliance and was told I could purchase warranty coverage; otherwise, there would be a service call as well as parts and labor. When I asked if there had been any similar problems, I was told no. When I asked why I would be charged if it was a manufacturing defect, I was told to contact Kenmore. So I contacted Kenmore and was advised it was not covered by any warranty, there were no problems known and no recalls had been issued. Upon checking online, I found numerous similar complaints regarding the control panel melting and one case where the oven actually caught on fire within five minutes of starting cleaning cycle. The individual model numbers were not listed nor the manufacturer. But since most of Kenmore appliances are made by the same manufacturer and just labeled Frigidaire, Electrolux, Tappan, etc., I figure it doesnt really matter. Using my preferred appliance repair person, the panel was replaced at a cost of $298. I had to order the touch pad from Kenmore and Im expecting a 2-3 week wait for delivery and additional cost of $22 for part. Labor is unknown at this time. I know appliances are only built to last 3-5 years anymore, but this still poses a real hazard. Im afraid to run the self-cleaning cycle now for fear of a repeat incident and additional expense. The repairman stated he was unable to determine what caused the malfunction. I believe its partially a design problem as one oven vent is directly below the control panel. I received no satisfaction from Sears or Kenmore. Im wondering if a class action has been discussed.

Looks good but performs poorly. Difficulty coming to and staying at desired temperature (figure at least 20 minutes). The oven fans are very noisy and the oven takes a long time to cool down. Called service out twice to fix and they found nothing wrong. If you like to bake this is not the oven you would want.

I purchased an expensive Kenmore Elite electric stove/oven in 2009 and have had many problems and have spent much money on repairs. Until recently I was unaware of the numerous complaints and lawsuits filed with similar issues. My top burner does not turn off, but remains on and on high. The burner has also turned on by itself when not being used. I have called with my concern for the safety of my family as I believe this to be a fire hazard. I believe this appliance should be recalled, but I have been told that my appliance does not have the model # of the ones that are recalled. We are waiting for another service member but in the meantime worry about the hazard this poses to my family! Sears has offered no help or concern as they believe my appliance is not one of the many recalled. I fear for the safety of my home and family.

I bought my gas stove in 2002. It is still working very well. I’ve replaced only 1 part, the igniter. The burner pans and and grates are still in fabulous condition. The oven door glass has build up, but a little elbow grease will help that. The oven temperature is accurate, although it can be a little hotter in the back.

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

I have owned a 2005 model Kenmore washer and dryer. They had several convenient settings for any size load, timing, heating/cooling on both the washer and the dryer. Size efficiency for smaller areas. Decent price range. And especially the warranty.

When my stove was less than 2 months old, I did a self clean and it destroyed my oven, couldn’t even see through the glass. It actually looks like someone sprayed it down with mud then baked it on. They replaced the glass. 2 months later I did another self clean and the same problem. Can’t get sears or Trans Global to help me with this, they say I should of cleaned my oven before I self cleaned my oven. I WILL NEVER BUY KENMORE AGAIN!!!

My stove was in the house when I purchased it. It is a glass top range which I find easy to keep clean but I would prefer a gas stove if I had a choice. Kenmore appliances are good and this one works just fine.

My mother is a veteran of WWII but may be defeated by her Sears Kenmore oven. She has a model 790 in wall oven which is an obvious lemon. It will frequently fail to complete a cycle (shuts off before cooking is done) and has ruined several batches of food. The problem appears to be a computer control module. While I was there over the thanksgiving holiday it abruptly locked up (as though about to go into self clean mode) with the holiday turkey inside. Fortunately we were able to locate the plug and unplug the thing (which still did not unlock the oven, but at least the dinner was not incinerated). We were worried about a fire and are grateful that it did not happen while we were out of the room. She has had at least four failures in the last year, but since the problem is intermittent (only once was it still malfunctioning when the tech arrived) it cant be verified for warranty replacement. The available service calls are limited to two days a week by the company Sears contracted with, so almost impossible to get the problem solved. Calls to Sears for repairs are often unreturned. Parts are apparently hard to come by (the control module was replaced, for example, but the part was ordered in February, arrived in August). Really disappointed in Sears... I was raised as a Sears customer, but am alienated by the way they treated my mom and disgusted by the drop in reliability. Used to think I could count on them, but no more.

Installers messed up cabinetry, didnt fix. Temp on oven wrong all the time. I had to build a 2 by 18 plug or it would have just been open to under my stairs.

Never had any issues with it; its energy efficient and keeps frozen foods frozen and cold food cold. The price is also reasonable for such a reliable appliance. Its a good size for two people; it holds several beverage packs, has large crispers and there is enough space to arrange items if you really want to load it up. Its a typical two door appliance with a top freezer - it is kind of generic looking but its functionality is optimal. We really like it... For this size and model, Kenmore provides the best value - the price is very low compared to similar brands. This is a functional appliance and well worth the price.

I purchased a water heater from Sears in 2002 and it began leaking in 2008. That water heater had a 9 year warranty. I had it replaced with a Power Miser 12, with a 12 year warranty. This water heater is now leaking 7 years later. When I called to arrange a replacement, I was told that this warranty is no good since I did not pay extra when it was replace in 2008. I was never told this in all my phone calls to Sears in 2008 and during the horrific process I experienced, in 2008, where I had to find the plumber myself and make all the phone calls and arrangements myself since everything Sears was supposed to be doing and they were not.Now I am told there is no warranty on this Power Miser 12 which is 9 years old. I will never get another appliance from Sears again. In my conversation with the representative he just ended it with I hope the rest of your day goes better. If you are planning on buying a water heater, I suggest you run away from Sears. They are not the company they used to be. They just dont care anymore about reputation. I will be shopping for a new water heater from Home Depot or some big box store.

I attempted to retrieve a baked casserole from my Kenmore ceramic-top range/oven and when I bent to reach into the oven, the vented heat blew right at my eyes. I jumped back and almost fell. Eyes were reddened into next day; the left worse than right because I lowered myself with my left side closer to the oven. So far, I enjoy the stovetop and size of the range but the excessive heat at eye level seems like a flaw in the overall design and dangerous. Is there any recall or repair that should be done?

Purchased a Sear Roto Swirl Water Heater (model 409.7341820) May 2012 for $494.00 with a 9 year warranty. It stopped producing hot water today, 2.5 years old, and when I called the 1-800 warranty number they said We do not provide any troubleshooting advice for this product. They offered to have the service distribution office call me within 3 business days (its Saturday so 5 days) to arrange a service technician to visit in the coming weeks. After stating that was unacceptable the service person had no response. Very disappointed at paying a high price to Sears who we have faithfully purchased all of our large appliances from over the past 40 years... not any longer, goodbye Sears!

We have the Kenmore range model 790. It is five years old and has died. We tried having it serviced by Sears and they told us that they no longer service Vail, Co. We put our money and faith in their product and are disappointed in the response. This stove is not worth buying nor will we further shop at Sears or purchase any of their products. They do not stand behind them!

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

Ive had my Kenmore for 12 years and never had a problem with it. Thats why all my appliances I own are Kenmore. My Fridge, stove, washer and dryer are all Kenmore. I had 1 problem with my dryer but they came out and fixed it without any problem. I would highly recommend Kenmore.

I bought a Kenmore French door fridge 1-18-18 and on 10-27-19 it went out. The top does not cool. Had Sears repair come out and said it is not under any warranty. That it would cost over $1000.00 to fix. I called Kenmore and got nowhere with them. I called Deawoo and they also would do nothing about it. I now own a $1900.00 piece of junk. I will never and recommend no one ever buy anything Kenmore as it is not made in States and only has a 1 year warranty. They are junk. Nothing like when I was a kid and everything in the house was Kenmore. Worst thing I have ever bought. I will no longer buy, go to, ok deal with Sears or Kenmore ever again with anything. I am now selling my riding lawn mower, kitchen stove, washer and dryer before they break and I have more junk to find a way to get rid of.

I purchased a Kenmore gas range in Oct 2013: model#79036903 905 Serial #NF33430475. My complaints are many with this range, but the most difficult is removing the storage bin to clean the floor under the range. It entails super dexterity to pull up the clip on the left while holding down the clip on the right, at the same time pulling the draw outward. This can only be done if you straddle the draw. These clips are located on the far inner sides of the draw. Once the draw is out, there is a bar across the front that makes it difficult to get to the crud that gathers under that bar. Sears needs to rethink this design. I always purchased appliances from them. In the last few years, I am very dissatisfied with their products.

Kenmore elite dual fuel slide in has been problematic since purchased. Control panel on face of stove regularly reports PF-power failure when using oven. No help from Sears. Repair people that have serviced stove report this is a consistently reported problem. Learning to stay home and checking panel frequently when using oven. Needless to say this is not, not JOY OF COOKING!!!!!

Purchased range oven from Sears a Kenmore. Do not buy - it basically exploded, made a big popping noise and they refused to warranty it. The women on the phone was rude and refused to let me speak to a supervisor. No wonder they are closing Sears stores. Their products have really gone downhill. I am so disappointed. I have always purchased my appliances at Sears. Will never do that again.

I have a double oven and its great except one thing, the side oven is so small that really nothing fits inside to bake. You have to order special size pans AMD lets face it, no one wants to go out of their way to do that let alone bake a tiny one person cake or 4 small rolls. I dont want to take away from regular oven but I believe the tiny baby oven should be an inch to two inches bigger at least to put regular size pans even if its for warming.

Bought this fridge and matching stove 3yrs ago. I purchased this brand, as did much research on reviews of Kenmore. With that and feeling Sears had a quality product, I purchased them. Three years later, my fridge went totally out. I had no reason to think a Kenmore would crash in 3 years. Threw out hundreds of dollars in food. And this is where things go horribly wrong.There is no longer a warranty, it’s only a year. Sears wants $1700 to repair. I don’t have a $$ tree in my yard. So then I bought a Choice Home warranty. The rep on the phone said, No worries ma’am, this is covered. I told him it was already out. Waited my 30 days, and filed a claim. They send out the same tech as Sears. He’s in the house 3 minutes, tops. Calls me to say they won’t cover it. Pre-existing condition. I’ve now paid for 2 service calls. And no working fridge still.I turn to Kenmore and reach out for help. I gave them 2 voices, either fix my fridge for free or replace with a comparable fridge to what I have. The man chose to repair it. Five phone calls later, Yes it’s in your file, diagnostic fee waived, no charges on parts and labor. But, yesterday, the tech calls wanting to know if I still want him there. He has no paperwork that there’s no charge. Mind you, Kenmore set this up and supposedly wrote notes. I called Kenmore. Oh yes, it’s right here, no charges. He says, I’ll send this over for your tech. Hours later, he don’t have this to come fix it. I call back. Now, this guy says he has no access to those notes and wants to transfer me to another department. I still have no working fridge. I’ve contacted 2 local tv stations to look into my story, and hopefully get it fixed. Buyer beware. Buy another brand, not a Kenmore Elite. It was priced just under $3000. Not worth it.

I have all Kenmore appliances. Never had a problem with any of them. I have the washer, dryer, stove, refrigerator. Didnt buy the warranties on them because knew I wouldnt need them. Know a lot of people that own Kenmore - never heard of any problems.

On September 17, 2016, I was baking a batch of cookies in my Kenmore range/induction stove/convection oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. When I went to open the door to check the consistency, the oven door exploded, sending shards of glass everywhere in my kitchen/dining room. I have taken pictures of the aftermath, along with replacing the range that exploded. I have kept the Kenmore range for further investigation.

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

Lasted a long time before I purchased a new refrigerator. No problems with it until it was worn out. Reliable and freezer kept food well. It fit my needs at the time. With a family and grandkids, I needed something larger and I moved up to stainless steel. The freezer was a bit small, but it was appropriate for the fridge size. It was basic white refrigerator. Nothing exceptional, but it served the purpose for what I needed. It was easy to clean and maintain with mild soap and water. It was a good refrigerator for the price. It was comparable if not a bit better in the price range with similar models. Its a good choice if youre not ready for a more expensive stainless steel model.

Kenmore HE Washer Warranty Repair Disaster. Now entering the 4th month of this total **! 4 separate technician visits and the inability of the company to send proper parts (if they even exist) have made me no longer sorry to see Sears go the way of the dinosaur. The overseas call center has proven to be more frustration than help and all I can say is if this is the way of the future, we are all hosed. I currently have 3 tubs and other parts taking up space in my basement and garage and am no closer to a repair than when I called in April. I want this piece of crap out of my house along with the incorrect pile of parts they sent. No more SEARS for me.

Less than one year after installing the Kenmore Elite Convection Microwave (and the gas range), the plastic coating on the stainless steel handle began to disintegrate. We ordered a new PLASTIC stainless steel handle for about $80 but then Sears said a repairman would have to install the HANDLE because the entire door has to be disassembled and it needs to be tested afterwards to verify there is no leaking radiation. I am so incredibly disappointed in all of my kitchen appliances. Every one is only three years old now and all are breaking down due to cheap materials.
