Have had difficulty removing door for cleaning since the purchase of the stove... Kenmore! I sure have had problems with this unit!

I bought this gas stove at Sears at least 20 years ago. It still looks almost as good as new; the only damage is a chip that the men who installed a replacement floor made somehow. It has never needed repair. Its easy to clean and still works perfectly. I bought a second one used for my lake house 10 years ago with the same experience.

After 20 yrs with my old Kenmore I just bought a new machine through Sears Can...I deliberately did not buy an HE. I am a weaver and when I finish things Ive woven, I need to control the washing process. I did not realize that the lid-lock is continually in effect. Stop the lock and I cant watch the washing process. Then I discover there is no soak cycle. (I also run a small guest house and towels frequently need to soak before a wash cycle.) What designer/programmer, in his infinite idiocy, chose to set the default at empty?! This is moronic! Fill the machine and get distracted and leave the lid up--it empties. Realize I set the wrong cycle and change the dial--it empties. Close the lid and let it sit--it empties.Add to this the fact that the towels are NOT coming out clean. I have tried different cycles, more detergent, hotter water. I have washed twice. I have let things soak. (Put the drain hose into the machine, let it drain back into the drum, pull the electrical plug. Let sit. Put hose into clean garbage can, insert electrical plug and now, even if I want to wash, it drains--into the can. Start from beginning and bucket soapy water into drum as it begins to fill. Start wash. For this I paid nearly $700 CAD tax included. Im putting it on Kijiji as soon as I can find a Speed Queen replacement. And am trying to get my old machine back in service until then. Never again, Kenmore.

This washer is awesome. If you have seen commercials where they put filthy dishes in to wash and find it unbelievable, you can believe it now. I tested it. It really works with this dishwasher. I give it a score of 15 out of a possible 10. Its that good. It is the perfect size. With a family of four we can start putting the dishes in at breakfast. Throughout the day we keep adding more dishes. You would think we would run out of room before dinner, that is not so. We still have room for the dirty dinner dishes. You wouldnt think that a dishwasher could be described as pretty but this one can. I got it in the silver or chrome color and it matches the refrigerator and the oven and stove. They all look really pretty next to each other. It is definitely worth every penny I spent on it. It wasnt very expensive at all. There were other brands that did the exact same thing but were more expensive. It turned out to be a really good value.

I have had this stove for a long time and had no problems with it. It work great. I love it. I use it every day. It was a good buy from Sears. I would tell my friends to buy one. It come with a warranty when you buy it from sears. It is a good brand.

Today I turned on the Kenmore Elite stove and there was a bright flash from behind the stove and a puff of smoke came up from behind. The breaker immediately tripped. I called the Sears number and was transferred to your their call center 1-800-469-4663. I talked to a very pleasant woman who informed me that my warranty was up on November 9th and there was nothing she could do for me but schedule a service call. The earliest date was Friday. I asked if I could speak to a supervisor and was told they were not given the authority to change anything or help any farther. She told me this was my best option. Thursday, Thanksgiving I have a house full of family coming and no more Sear oven to use. My hope was Sears could stand by their appliances and in good faith be able to fix the problem. We have purchased thousands of dollars in Sear appliances, mower etc. One year and done on your top of the line appliances doesnt make for the bestadvertisement. I hope you can find it in your budget to rectify the tight spot Sear will be putting us in.

We wanted a conduction stove/oven and after looking at more than 73 different brands and models we went with the Kenmore Elite. It has 2 ovens, which is great when you need to make more than one dish, the only 2 problems I have with it. Neither oven is big enough to stand a spiral ham up (20 lb turkey fit okay) and you cant use foil (that is how I was taught to cook turkey). We also love the options to lock both ovens and cooktops to prevent accidental turn on. The stovetop with the large burner (3 different size elements) comes in handy and the middle back with flex heating.

Yesterday we had our Kenmore elite refrigerator repaired yet again. Ice maker issues again. Repairman put in a new ice maker that now only has 2 screws that hold it in whereas there used to be 5. Therefore when the water came in to the ice maker it didnt go into the cup/tray instead just spilling all over. He turned off the ice maker and told my wife to have me turn down the water pressure when I got home and left. The ice maker is not screwed at the top allowing it to tip away from the water line and making the water spill. If I turned down the pressure it would be worse. We spent $20,000 at sears in 7 years - craftsman rider and garage door openers, Kenmore fridge, microwave, dishwasher, stove, washer, dryer. A treadmill and vacuum cleaner. All in 7 years. All Kenmore was elite series. Problems with fridge were almost immediate. We have a light fixture meltdown, complete freezer ice up, control board changes, several ice maker issues, water dispenser always slow then stopped working. Complete shut downs with error codes. Most of these I have fixed myself, including yesterday’s episode after he left us high and dry. Even had a wire break smack dab in the middle of the water dispenser door that we were told could not be fixed because the doors are sealed at the factory and cannot be opened up. How does a wire break inside of a sealed door unless it was damage when being installed? Said I would need a new $800 door. My wife and I managed to peel open enough of the door to see 2 wires that had very clear slice marks in them one being all the way through. We fixed them and the water dispenser worked like it had never worked before. Those 2 wires were cut during manufacture and hung on by a strand or two till finally letting go and then no more dispenser. Microwave tray would clunk and tip every time it went back and forth till I figured out the wheels were on the arm wrong and once I switched them it has been fine. Dishwasher needs to be run twice per load to get dishes clean. Stove works great. New washer sometimes stops mid cycle and says no H2O. Consumer reports says by Kenmore Elite. Well I will tell you they dont know crap. I have almost no Kenmore appliances that work without problems, spent about $9000 on them, none older than 7 years some as new as 1 year and I will never consider another. We used to buy everything at Sears including a Dyson vacuum (love it) and a Nordic track treadmill (very good) and all my craftsman hand tools over the last twenty five years. No more. I am done. They have done almost nothing to help us or to keep us as customers. When Sears finally goes out of business (been hurting for years) I am going to call the customer service center and laugh at them. Goodbye Sears and I hope you’re gone soon. Kenmore is trash!!!!!!! Sears does not like their customers, just their money. They got mine, for the last time.

This Kenmore washer is very energy efficient and does a great job cleaning my laundry. This is a good product and it has been nothing but reliable. I have had it for a few years and have never had to replace or have any repairs done. Mines white because all my other appliances are and its easier to keep everything matching. It is also worth every penny. I did some comparison before purchasing and believe this was the best quality product in our price range and am extremely satisfied with the purchase. I would definitely recommend this product.

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!

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.

My Kenmore dishwasher came with the house I bought and I was pleased with it so I did not replace it. It is and always has been a reliable brand that has proven to always outlast other so called reliable brand and has always been sold at a reasonable price. Having it is convenient. I can use it for storage and it doesnt use an excessive amount of water and it isnt excessively noisy when operating so I can enjoy TV while it works for me and I can be relaxed at the end of the day. Have no problems with it, but I would like it to use less water and electricity because both are an expensive item where I live.

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.

Kenmore Dishwasher works great. I have no problem in all the years I have it. Its been 10 years and I only had it service once. Its so easy to use. I only used it once a week and my children also use it. The size of it fits all my dirty dishes plus pots. Sometimes I have lots of plates and pots that I thought would not come clean but when it was finished they were spotless. The dishwasher matches everything In my kitchen. Its stainless steel and so is my fridge and stove, and mostly it does a great job. After 10 years it really is a great dishwasher. I would recommend it to anyone.

I have never owned a stove that I loathe as much as I do the Kenmore glass top stove that we have. Every week without fail, the handle comes apart, causing the glass door and white casing to fall to the ground and I have to screw the entire door and handle back on. We arent rough with this appliance. Its a piece of junk, period. Another thing is that the cooking elements dont provide consistent heat. If I want to boil water to make a cup of tea, I swear I have to wait five minutes before the water in the kettle comes to a boil. I really detest this stove and I am counting the days until it finally gives up the ghost so I can buy a decent stove.

I came home to find glass on my kitchen floor and in the dinning area next to the kitchen. Further investigation lead me to the Kenmore gas range oven door. I purchased the range january 2011. Glass was everywhere. No one else lives in my home. I very seldom use the oven. Nothing fell, nothing mysteriously hit the oven door. I called sears to no avail. I purchased a $275.00 moderated protection plan. If this has happened to anyone else please provide me with what you did to resolve the issue. Thanks.

Please dont buy Kenmore, or from Sears. My stove caught on fire last night (11/21/14). Sears wont replace it they want me to pay for the repair....NOT, so here is what happened: We cut the oven to warm up then walked away. We heard a popping then a smell of wires burning. If we had not been in the kitchen this would be a different story. I call Sears, oh they want me to pay to have them come look at it, I dont think so! The earliest they can come to look at it is DECEMBER 2nd, Wait that is a week and a half! They told me that I cant get it replaced without me paying for it even if it is faulty wires. I AM SO MAD right now! If you have a Kenmore range in your house unplug it NOW, wishing I had never bought this thing!

Too many complaints over this issue of failing oven walls to support racks. We should join forces to be heard. My racks fall too oftentimes.

Kenmore Elite Slide In Electric Range - I have had the control panel on this $3,000 range go out three times. I called Sears customer service 4 times in one day and each time, they put me on hold to look something up and we were disconnected every time. I have owned this range for 5 years and this will be the 3rd time this control panel needs to be replaced. Of course, the extended warranty I purchased has run out. I have received no satisfaction from Sears customer service and I will never buy another Kenmore product.

The Kenmore dishwasher turbo cycle does a great job. It is very quiet and it is easy to clean the outside. The stainless steel finish looks nice. I liked the Kenmore elite fridge & stove so the dishwasher and microwave matched. Although these products look nice and they all match, the quality is crap. Too much plastic pieces break off easily on the dishwasher. It needs more metal pieces/screws. Also, it uses a lot of water and it takes about 3.5 hours to complete a load of dishes.

Kenmore Range model 970-67843 - Hello, We are hoping that you can help us resolve our defective Kenmore range, which we purchased new from Sears in Kelowna, BC 4 years ago. We have always purchased Kenmore appliances, and have always been happy with them. So when we lost our home to a fire in 2009, and rebuilt it, we once again, purchased all Kenmore appliances including Frigidaire manufactured range and fridge. We felt confident that we were buying a quality product, but did purchase the 3 year extended warranty as well, which has of course, expired. Then this Thanksgiving, Oct 2014, we had just about finished cooking our Thanksgiving dinner when we heard a buzzing noise and saw black smoke coming from the back to the range. We turned it off and the next day, turned the oven on, only to find that it did not work at all. The cooktop does work still. We called Sears only to be told that the warranty was expired and we were out of luck. So we took the range to a repair service, who told us that it would cost us at least $500.00 to fix the oven. This does not seem right, when our appliance is only four years old. Clearly there was a manufacturing defect. We cannot afford to buy a new range, or pay hundreds of dollars to fix this one, and we are asking Frigidaire, as the manufacturer, to stand behind your product. We have been without an oven for two months now, and that is not an easy thing at this time of year. Please respond and let us know that we can feel confident in our purchase. This stove is not only defective, but dangerous, and should be recalled.

It works extremely well. We hardly ever need to pre-wash our dishes. Everything comes out clean and not greasy. It runs quietly and is not bad at all. I love it. It fits all the dishes I need it to. There is room for everything and lots of ways to rearrange the shelves. I have not problem getting my largest pots and pans in to be washed. It is nice and sleek. The stainless steel appearance is gorgeous. It fits well with our other appliances. It is easy to clean and does not show much dirt to begin with. I think that the price was very reasonable. It wasnt the most expensive nor the cheapest dishwasher available. The price was right and we have gotten our moneys worth.

I have had my Kenmore Range and Self Cleaning Oven for 16 years. The oven has convection and it’s so wonderful to be able to rapidly cook things fast and have them ready for my hungry family to eat. My stovetop works wonders to cook on. I am a Self proclaimed Chef. My friends and family are amazed at the food I prepare on my 16 year old Range and Oven.

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.

It is an awesome product and is very easy to clean. Wipes down easily. Temperature Tunes down right away. And the oven works really well. I have always loved this brand. They are fairly inexpensive. And they never disappoint.

I love the pretty color, it matches my other kitchen appliances perfectly. Its very nice and I like the way they made the switches and buttons on it. I love the size too cause it holds all my dishes perfectly with plenty of space. I love the way its made all my dishes fit in each little space just right. I really love the way the Kenmore washes. My dishes always come out really clean Spot free. I would recommend this dishwasher to others. Great buy. It was in my price range and something that I could afford. It was very fairly priced and affordable. I really love it. Thank you Kenmore.

I bought a Kenmore gas range at Sears. 4 months later the oven control went off. Because the appliance still on the manufacturer warranty I called to Sears customer service (the worst customer service I ever contacted). They set me an appointment for the next three days. I was waiting on the technician and never showed up. I called back again to Sears and then they give me a number for a company named GKB services (I dont know who is more incompetent, Sears customer service or GKB services) that is going to fix my appliance. GKB send me back to Sears, and Sears send me to GKB.Thanksgiving day was a nightmare thanks to Sears and GKB services, (I have to eat Kentucky Fried Chicken for my Thanksgiving dinner). However it has been 2 months and the stupid Kenmore gas range still without to get fixed. I dont know what to do. Nobody help me to fix that appliance, (Im really disappointed until the point to go to Sears to dropped the stupid appliance) with my frozen turkey, that I never get cooked. I tried everything and both Sears and GKB doesnt fix my range. Did someone know what can I do to get the appliance fixed?

The best brand out there. Reliable and trusted. It washes dishes clean even the most dirty quietly and efficiently. Its a brand you can trust. Has been for years. The way the racks are arranged lets me clean more dishes and get them cleaner in one wash than other brands. More efficient means less power used and less time in the kitchen. Looks nice. Matches my kitchen. Looks clean and fits right in with my fridge. Easy to clean off the surface area too. With all the small grandkids running and getting into it, its a big plus to have a easy clean surface. Worth every red cent. The product you buy is better and lasts longer. The dishwasher will continue to give you your moneys worth well beyond when other brands fall apart. Very reasonable for a well-made machine.

Its great. I would recommended it. Since I have had it, it has worked very well and has not let me down... not once. I have not had to get it fixed or anything and works as good as when first got it. Have no complaints and is good value for money. Doesnt spin loud like a lot of other washer and dryers. It just looks like any other average washer or dryer. It doesnt look horrible and comes with a wide range of choices such as colors, etc. Its not the cheapest brand but you get what you pay for. I would rather pay more and get a machine that I know works very well and is reliable.

3 days ago, March 29, 2013, I was using my range to cook bacon. I had it set at 375 degrees and had just checked the bacon and determined it had another 7-10 minutes to cook. I left the room for a few minutes, and after about 5 minutes, I could hear a beeping. My husband asked me if I wanted him to shut off the timer, but I said, I didnt set the timer. The stove kept beeping non-stop, so I returned directly to the kitchen only to see “F10 - ERR” on the touch screen. I opened the oven and smoke poured out. I quickly closed the door and my husband ran downstairs to shut the breaker because nothing I could do would stop the beeping. With the stove shut off at the breaker, I opened it and took out my burned bacon; and the room was filled with smoke. After doing some research online, it appears that the error means that the heat is considered to be runaway and at a dangerous level! Are you kidding me? I would like to know how long Sears has known about this issue, and why they have not informed people about this problem. What if I had a roast in the oven and had gone outdoors to do some work? This will be the 6th issue I have had with this range. So far, the brain was fixed once then replaced; the triple burner had to be replaced as did the whole glass top. The last item was the door as it warped and stained during a regular cleaning. I do not trust this range anymore and want it replaced. It is a lemon! It is unsafe and at this point, I am afraid to even turn the breaker on. Sears needs to step up to the plate and stand behind a very expensive range. This range broke down within 3 weeks of delivery to me and then again a few months later. It has been nothing but one thing after the other and I am done with allowing it to be repaired. It is a fire hazard! God forbid my new home would burn down due to Sears not replacing this lemon they have sold to me. It is time to replace it or give me my money back. I will never buy a Kenmore product again! Ever!

The range is absolutely awesome from its sleek design down to its performance. It has never let me down and has always been up to the task that I present it everyday. The 15000 BTU burner gets water boiling quickly while the smaller eyes keep sauces simmering and other food warm.

Amazing. The dishes came out very clean and no water spots. Even takes off caked on food. Very fast washing and quiet. I would recommend to anyone who needs a new one. Compact but very roomy inside. It fit well in my kitchen and my kitchen is definitely on the smaller side. I have dinner parties often and it can hold all of the dishes. The washer is beautiful. Water spots dont stick and fingerprints are easily wiped off with a wet rag. I prefer the black because it looks sleek and fits in with the kitchen. It was a great price. I am always looking for a bargain and after comparing models and prices this one was the best option and easily within my price range.

I had baked 2 pies in the oven; 2 hours later, the bake switch gave a loud notice, similar to a shot and seemed to explode. It left a silver mark on the switch. The stove stopped working, including the stove top and oven. I am unable to cook or bake as a result. I will try to resolve this problem with Sears today, August 4, 2014. The stove was purchased 7 years ago.

I bought a refrigerator in my price range. I just wanted a nice reliable fridge for all my food and I would have liked the freezer to be bigger. I like the look of my Kenmore fridge on the outside and the room it had for all my food. It was very lightweight, sturdy and very durable. I loved the shelf space it had and the door space for meats, veggies and fruits. I loved that fridge. The only thing I would change is for it to be bigger and Id change the color because I like all black fridges.

During the rebuild of our house we wanted to go quality, so we thought. Our kitchen was stocked with the Kenmore Elite line. Dishwasher, range and refrigerator freezer. Well here we are 2 and 1/2 years later and the Elite has already worn off, with any warranty of course. The dishwasher on the blank, out of warranty. Now the fridge is no longer cooling and you guessed it out of warranty and extended warranty. Still waiting for repairman to assess whether to repair or replace.

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.

We bought top loading high efficiency low water washer SN C54547545 in July 2016. It took a lot longer to wash a load. This year 2019 it started acting strange. The clothes were too wet and I’d drain/spin again. Checked the troubleshooting section-nothing worked. My husband put clothes in dryer while I was out and the load was too heavy, causing my dryer to burn up. Now I’m looking to buy both. Washers should last longer than 3 years!

Kenmore Ultra Wash dishwasher 1 year ago. We spoke to the salesman about family needs and washing dishes multiple times a day. He sold us on this make and model 665.1354. Since the purchase the washer has proven to disappoint, top rack dishes are never clean and leaves dried on debris in glasses after being rinsed that has to be soaked off. Silverware also are always dirty still. On top of all of that the top rack will no longer stay attached to the wheels on the sliding track, all four attachments are now broke making it impossible to use the top rack. When I called customer service and the parts department both departments gave me the runaround and will not replace the part stating it is out of warranty. I am extremely disappointed. After one year to have a machine that is falling apart after the money spent! Sears customer service is terrible! They also use the fact that we did not buy the extended service plan against the consumer. The truth is no 1 year dishwasher should have these issues very poor quality!

We purchased our wall oven from Sears with the expectation of quality of their name and the backing of their outside manufactures making products for them. I noticed the house smelled like wood burning and thought it might be our fireplace. The smell progressively grew stronger and stronger over the months as we used the oven. Last week I got scared and called a local appliance repairman and he asked if my oven was clean, as most of his calls are from something falling onto the heating element(s). I cleaned the oven as a precaution. My son came home from college for the weekend that night and used the oven to bake a dessert, the kitchen filled with smoke and again smelled like burnt wood.Monday the appliance repairman found the problem and said we were lucky the house did not burn down. The bottom of the oven dropped down allowing the heating element and bottom liner of the oven to transfer heat to the under cover as seen in the pictures attached. First two are the charred and burnt cabinet, third is the hot spot under the oven where heat transfer happened, the last three are the sunken bottom and heating element.

ANOTHER KENMORE 790 SERIES FRONT GLASS PANEL EXPLOSION! I have twice, in an approximately two-year period, had the same disturbing incident many others here have described. Twice, the entire glass front of the oven surface forcefully shattered all over the kitchen floor and adjacent room. When the first incident occurred, the company promptly replaced the glass front and assured us that this was an isolated incident. When the second incident occurred, the representative reported that someone would come to our home to replace the glass, but that we were twenty days out of warranty. Any expense would be ours. It is clear to me, a non-engineer, that the nature of the design is hugely flawed and very dangerous. Others of my friends have Kenmore ovens. While their handles meet a secure oven metal piece, our handle meets glass front surfacing. A heating temperature of as little as 350 degrees resulted in this near tragedy. I would not dare to try the self cleaning feature. While I have always been satisfied with Kenmore products, THIS OVEN IS A RISK TO YOU, YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR COMPANION ANIMALS. IT MUST BE RECALLED. Seeing the consistent number of unresolved complaints, we, the consumers, need to consider a class-action-suit. I NEED TO HEAR FROM AS MANY OF YOU WITH SIMILAR NEAR TRAGIC INCIDENTS AS POSSIBLE. I cant guarantee results, but it is clear that the Kenmore brand has callously ignored this risk to our health and safety.

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.

Well the plastic disk in the roof of my oven is melting and has burn marks. We dont have a warranty or service contract with Sears so they want to charge us $249 to come and LOOK at it. Hello, our microwave is melting and burning inside and this is OUR issue? Sounds like a serious defect. Someone wrote in the Sears website with the same question and it was never answered. So I know I cant be alone in this melting disk microwave issue. Kenmore, WTH!? Will NOT buy from Sears or Kenmore.

My family all pitched in so I could get the Kenmore Elite oven model #79098022802 through Sears. I picked up the oven from the Sears in the Hickory Hill Mall in Memphis, TN on January 17, 2011. Since then, I have had four service calls for the same problem, which is called an Error 14. This particular error message stops the oven from working, making it impossible to bake or warm anything up. Once the Error 14 message appears the oven completely shut downs. It does not let you override it or bypass it. The control part has been replaced twice and finally on December 26, 2012 Sears replaced the touch screen but still the Error 14 message remains.Sears had me purchase a premium warranty for $270. The oven cost $1,500. Since I have had this oven (January 2011), I have had to take off work seven times for the same problem. The Sears serviceman that came to my home to fix the oven worked on it for three hours trying to fix the Error 14 again. To this day, the oven is not fixed. The serviceman told me to call the Lemon Line for a replacement. I called and they gave me another appointment for January 4, 2013. On January 4th, the serviceman was at my house for 30 minutes. He talked to the service people and ordered the control panel part directly from the manufacturer. On January 11, 2013, the same serviceman installed the third control panel and it still did not fix the Error 14 issue. The oven will heat up to 114 degrees then it triggers the Error 14. At this point, the serviceman feels that he has exhausted all possibilities on fixing the oven and he is not coming back.The issue with my oven has been going on for two years. For two years, I have not been able to make my family meals to eat. I have not been able to make holiday meals for my family to enjoy. I have been forced to go to family and friends homes for the holidays just to enjoy a home cooked meal. I think that it is unfair that Sears has not taken care of this issue in a timely manner. No one should have to go without an oven for this long. I only want to be made whole. I would like for this oven to be exchanged for one of equal value ($1500) and a check for $270 for the premium warranty I purchased for the oven that still does not work.Since this issue began in February 2011, I have been extremely stressed and frustrated due to the fact that I am not able to use my oven to bake meals. Sears has offered me no recourse other than to sell me a warranty that has not been useful. I would greatly appreciate if someone from your company could exchange my oven for equal value but not the same brand.

Kenmore Electric Range Model 790.9742 - Purchased in April 2010. The racks are no longer and it collapsed during the cooking process due to the oven liner warping and bowing out. Repairman says it is unrepairable and there are no racks available to fix this problem. Sears tells me this is an isolated problem and they have never heard of this problem before. Really?! Its all over the internet on not only Kenmore, but LG, Jenn-Air, Whirlpool, and other brands made for Sears. All Sears will do is give me a 20% discount off a new stove because I did not buy the extended warranty. I sincerely doubt the extended warranty would have covered an oven liner since it is not a replaceable part. It is part of the oven, according to the repairman. I was nearly burned when I pulled out a casserole to check on it. Dutch oven also fell after a few hours while it was cooking in the oven. Luckily, the door stayed closed and the Dutch oven fell straight down. It could have caused a major grease fire. Sears refuses to admit there is a problem with the steel used in the oven liner. Sears no longer stands behind their products. They say they are sorry. I am disappointed in the longevity of my stove. Well, yes, it is only 2 1/2 years old and this shouldnt be happening. It would have happened sooner had I used the self-cleaning oven feature which I have yet to do and it would have caused additional warping and bowing. I have an oven I paid $1000 for and is unusable because I, more than likely, will get burned or a fire will happen due to these racks no longer fitting.

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.

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.

The stovetop grids are so easy to clean, you can lift them completely off and polish the stove surface. Nice variety burners and center for grill, easy to make multiple pancakes at once. Oven is large and easy to clean, racks remove easily.

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.

My fiancee whose name the appliance is listed under {Diane ** they assumed I was Mr. **} purchased a Sears Kenmore elite gas range model 79075343310 in October 2013. It has been used roughly a dozen times if that. Well on 1/26/15 we had made a pizza and were enjoying it when we heard a large pop. Upon investigation we discovered that the inner door glass had exploded and shattered. It was contained inside by the front and back panels. I figured because the warranty was only expired by three months that Sears would foot the bill for repairs. Not so! Their argument was warranty had expired. Okay understand that but when the hell have you ever heard of oven door glass exploding simply by using the oven. Definitely one for Ralph Nader. Ridiculous. What if it had been the outer glass with a toddler or family pet walking by. Believe Sears like the rest of iconic American businesses continue to sell us down the river with inferior products.

Model 790.7323 - Last year, after the Kenmore stove that had been in the condo since 1982 had a meltdown and I went and replaced it. I do not cook. Use the microwave or toaster oven. I recently gave the toaster oven away to clear up counter space. Decided to heat up some Publix side dressing. Tried it again around Thanksgiving and it was dead. I got the oven in April 2014, and believe it or not, I am not I do not cook. It is just two aging dogs and me. I work, so it is usually a microwave meal. It still looks showroom new. I called Sears, and they will do nothing. They want to send me an outrageous warranty for a year, which will cost more than the stove and send out a tech at 60 a pop until they fix it. One time and it quit working! I think they should take the stove back and replace it! I was not even cooking -- just reheating! Sears used to mean Quality! Go elsewhere next time. I will never ever step in a Sears Store!!!

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 a Kenmore elite set of washer & dryer in July 2013. The washer is constantly getting unbalanced and cannot be left unattended because water keeps running until I stop and re-arrange the clothes. Sears has been out 4 times in 3 weeks to work on washer -- still not working properly.

Fridge model 795 7032 - Im less than pleased with this refrigerator and the manufacturers honor to their product. Within 6 months of owning it the ice maker/dispenser stopped working. We opted out of spending the extra $100 for the extra warranty because for some reason I had faith that a brand new product wouldnt have issues, and if it did, then I could trust the manufacturer to stand behind it. That didnt happen either. Instead, we were pitched getting a warranty for $40/mo after paying a $60 fee to start. Completely dissatisfied with our product and experience and will likely be getting something else from another brand. The oven we bought at the same time, also Kenmore, is another story. It takes 20 minutes to preheat to 350 degrees or higher...

Kenmore Model 790.92202014 Oven Control Meltdown - I bought this range in early 2011 as an upgrade to my old Whirlpool range. Just shortly after it went out of warranty, the oven control unit failed. I called a repairman and a new one was ordered and replaced by him. Less than a year later, the unit failed again, so I sent the defective unit back to the provider and they sent me a replacement. This lasted less than a year again until 3-2013, only this time it blew the breaker (it never had done that before). Upon removing the back cover, I was horrified to find the oven plug that plugs into the control unit melted! I only can say Im glad it didnt start a fire. Im writing this complaint to warn people of a possible fire hazard. Im junking this range.

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.

The oven racks of my Kenmore model 790.36723603 fall off the middle tracks. This is not an isolated occurrence. Many people are complaining of the same problem online. It appears that the oven walls are bowed due to the extreme heat of the self-cleaning cycle. It is obviously a safety issue when removing hot food. These ovens should be recalled or repaired at the expense of Sears due to a manufacturer error. Sears is not taking responsibility, only suggesting the purchase of new racks.

Power went out due to windstorm and when it came back on I realized my Kenmore Elite 42562 4.6 cu. ft. Slide in Electric Range wouldnt work. Sears sent a repairman and it was about $900.00 to repair since it was the electronic controls. The range cost $2000.00 and I had it for just over a year so I wanted it fixed. They said I needed 4 parts, but after almost 2 months I had only received 1 part. Eating out is expensive so it was frustrating. Then I received a call from customer service saying they cant get the parts. Customer service is having the part picked up tomorrow by UPS and will then credit me, but I assume I will be out the cost of my range. I am beyond frustrated and when I looked online tonight the range is still for sale. Do not buy this range!

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!

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?

The over-the-range Kenmore microwave caught on fire where the rack attaches to the internal framing. I called Sears and was passed along to FIVE different people all saying that there is no recall on this model (80323 model # 79080323310; serial #KG 60953623). Clearly there is a problem and Sears/Kenmore is not willing to acknowledge a faulty product. I have found similar examples from other customers where the microwave caught on fire in exactly the same location - where the rack inserts into the internal framing. FAULTY PRODUCT! DO NOT BUY THIS MODEL!!

I had the original Maytag Gemini double oven range. I have now had the Kenmore Elite Double Oven Range for 2+ years. The new range is far superior. Of course the double ovens being the same size is a great help. Overall, the technology of the Kenmore range is fabulous. I have one main concern, though.... why dont they poll people that own these expensive appliances and ask us what features we want, need or desire? The timer on this range drives me INSANE! Its non-stop, and could seriously wake the dead. I know there is no way to make my second need happen, but, the bottom oven opens onto the floor..... very hard to lift something heavy in and out. Overall, though, this range is far superior to the Gemini.

Its not the best. It doesnt always get the dishes nice and clean. They dont always come out dry and I have never had a load of dishes come out without water spots on them. The size of the dishwasher is very good for the size of household that we have. We are a family of 4 and this dishwasher can hold 2 days worth of dishes in it. The appearance of this dishwasher is good. It can match into any basic kitchen that you put it in. It has a nice and clean look to the front of it. I have no clue what the retail value of this dishwasher is. Because my dishwasher was bought second hand and only cost my 25.00. I hope if I have to replace this one that the price is in a good price range.

The Kenmore microwave oven was installed by our contractor, new, April 2018. It immediately developed problems: blowing fuse, turning off immediately, etc. It was service five times in the first year. I think it should have been replaced, but no. Their warranty literature says it will be fixed or replaced but thats not how it works out. Most of the issues were with the design of the door latch. This I find is a common issue with microwave ovens. The servicer took over 5 months to figure it out and repair. Now the microwave oven is blowing circuit breaker again but its out of warranty so Sears refuses to cover repairs or replace. Doesnt matter to them they they manufactured a faulty product. Once out of warranty its screw you.

I bought this refrigerator in December 2012, along with a gas range which has been serviced, already, too. The refrigerator door will not close and the thermostat went out. I always get the extended warranty. My parents taught me that. They have not had to buy a TV in over 20 years due to extended warranties. When parts arent available, new. The door, per the repairman was not covered under the warranty because our abuse caused it. HELLO!! I was sitting at the dining room table and I saw the light shining. Thinking someone had forgotten to close the door, I closed it. I could hear the seal and it popped open again. IT’S NEW!! Why should a thermostat go out on a new refrigerator or the door not shut or stay shut!!! Whats worse, we have always bought Sears appliances. When I married 40 years ago, my parents gave us their old Coldspot from Sears and it was over 20 years old then. We kept it until we out grew it family wise and bought our own and kept it over 20 years, a Kenmore. Now, this. I am angry and thoroughly disgusted with what has happened to a haloed name. WE SHUT THE DOOR TOO HARD!!?? The Coldspot still works.

The door handle fell off the oven and the oven door fell open in pieces. The product is defective. I have tried reattaching it and it has fallen apart again numerous times. The screws are not long enough. I could easily have been burned or injured if the door fell on me. The outer piece of glass inside the door slipped down. This could have shattered. Called Sears. They offered to send a tech at my expense.

Stops working if we shut off the oven and restart it, to adjust temp or if we need to put something back in because it was not done as we thought, only way to fix it is to pull the heavy oven away from the wall to get to the plug, unplug it, plug it back in, which is a disaster as its too heavy for me!

Kenmore had the features we wanted, the color we preferred and the price range we wanted to stay in. Kenmore is also a recognized, popular brand. The dishwasher has met our expectations and I love the pot scrubber feature. I also like that I can turn off the drying cycle. It also lets me customize my load preference like light wash, pots and pans etc. However, sometimes the dishes arent totally dry even when I choose to have them dried. A few times Ive had to rerun the dishwasher because the dishes were still dirty and the casserole dish had baked on noodles.

Purchased Kenmore Electric Range Model 79094182310 Nov. 2017. Within 1 yr after using Self-Clean feature which resulted in scorched area to the top of oven door on left side, I called for service. This scorched panel was replaced and I was told not to use self-clean function???! During 2018 I continued using the oven, replaced the bulb and still getting scorched/brown areas on top panel of the oven door even at temps of 425 and above. Called again and tech from Indianapolis came, checked thoroughly, called for research info about this oven, advised that the oven door seems ok but heat exhaust from oven is faulty/insufficiently constructed and there is no repair/solution. This faulty electric range should be recalled and replaced.

August 2015, I purchased a Kenmore Elite Convection Oven MODEL #970C693832. Its a beautiful oven which came with a major problem. The red flag should have been noted when it was delivered, and the glass control panel fell off; this was before it was even brought into my kitchen. I asked them to return it, and we got a new one a week later. Three months in, the same thing happened again; the glass control panel fell off. I called Sears, and they sent a technician to fix it with a new control panel. The technician mentioned to me that the only thing holding the control panel is glue. When the oven is in use, every time I use my oven, the glue is melting away. Theres no frame to support it, when the glue melts off. How is this even safe? Last week, the same problem happened again, the glass control panel fell off. I called Sears again.Today, a technician from Sears came in to check it out and will be fixing it again with a new control panel. So until he comes back, and fixes it, I have to use tape to hold up the control panel in order to use the oven. Luckily, its still under the extended warranty, but I cant keep calling Sears to replace the control panel every time the glue melts. Instead of sending a technician to fix the same problem, Sears should replace this appliance because this problem will happen again, and they know it. This oven is not good, and I would never recommend it. Sears should do its part and make sure they are selling their customers good appliances that they can rely on. I am very disappointed with my appliance from Sears, and I wish Sears would make good appliances with top-of-the-line materials and parts. Sears needs to do a quality check assurance on their appliances before they go on the market. We as customers cannot afford to expend so much money on products that either dont last, or have problem with their parts.

My husband and I bought a Kenmore Elite refrigerator in October 2011. At the same time we also bought a stove, microwave, and dishwasher all Kenmore appliances. In December of that year our refrigerator started giving us an ER 1F error. We called and they sent a repairman out to look at it. They told us it was the ice maker blower motor. They replaced it and it was working fine. About 4 months later the same error occurred. They came back out and replaced the ice maker blower motor and the circuit board control that was suppose to fix the problem. It went out again and we tried to get them to replace the refrigerator but they wouldnt. Our warranty ran out in October of 2012. I had to pay $280.00 to have the same blower motor replaced about a month ago. Everyone of the repair men have told me that we are not the only ones with this problem. Why dont the company do something to fix it? The same motor has been replaced 4 times on my refrigerator. That should tell them that there is a problem.

Kenmore oven Model 790.9745 - We purchased our house in July 2014 and didnt notice at the time that the front glass of the oven was missing. We ordered a new glass front, installed it and a few months later, the front glass exploded and went all over the kitchen. Then we realized that must have been why the glass was missing when we bought the house. We replaced the glass again and the other day the same thing happened. Three times in three years. Each time someone was standing near the oven while it was baking at 350 degrees when the glass exploded. We were lucky no one got hurt.It was unusual that the dogs or kids werent in the kitchen with us at the time as they usually are! In addition to the glass exploding three times that we know of, the control panel had a F-10 error which is run away temperature. The smoke detectors went off in the house to alert us to that problem due to the extreme heat coming from the oven. This oven needs to be recalled. It seems like this is a problem many people have had in reading the reviews!

New stove < 7 months old, on 07/26/2014 @ 0300 cold and unused for days, the lower oven front door glass exploded all over my kitchen like a small bomb. Terrified my wife, and we had glass over everything in the kitchen even well above the level of the door... counters, pictures on the wall, etc... Sears-Kenmore personnel most unhelpful in regards to servicing the warranty and providing corrective action. This company is a dead-man walking in regard to customer service... When you google this Kenmore exploding oven door, there are thousands of cases on the net. I wish I had been bright enough to google it thusly before the purchase. The stove was not cheap. An expensive lesson...

I have bought Sears/Kenmore products. Even though today is not like many, many years ago. I dislike going to a hardware store to buy appliances. Cookie-cutter appliances. Just 3 years ago, I purchased a refrigerator, convection stove, and dishwasher.

I absolutely hate to put down such a venerable old name as Sears and Kenmore. I bought a brand new high end refrigerator, range microwave and dishwasher from Sears 6 years ago, and they have all been falling apart ever since. Its heartbreaking as I had old appliances that I chucked out that had served me well for 30 years, but after a kitchen remodel, I wanted all shiny new stainless steel appliances. The troubles started soon after purchase, and now two of the appliances are non-functional, and the other two are limping along.REFRIGERATOR - Be sure to look over very well any refrigerator you buy. For some odd reason, this Kenmore stops the rack several inches short of the rear of the fridge. Not only cheats you out of valuable space, things are constantly dropping down in the no mans land I call the back of my fridge. The worst part is the ice maker. The ice hopper would block up constantly, and Id have to manually pull out, bust up and defrost the ice in the ice hopper and clean it out - an easy hour wasted on this task. Now the ice maker does not work at all. The ice freezes in the water supply tube, and has to be defrosted by a hair dryer, which takes forever to do. Im tired of spending hours getting this darn ice maker to work. I just put ice cube trays in the freezer now. Its very disappointing.RANGE - From the get go, the range has had a strange hum when you turn on the jets, and the oven. It scared me at first, but the salesman that sold me the range told me its common for a hum noise when you first turn on the jets, and the oven. Strange, I thought, but it doesnt stop humming - it just sounds like a kitchen range practicing yoga...hummmmmm. The oven has to be set about 50 degrees hotter than the temperature asked for, otherwise youll find a raw turkey in your oven at dinnertime on Thanksgiving, like I did. I learned to adjust for the inaccurate temperature on the range, but 50 degrees? Sheesh!MICROWAVE - The door closure foot has broken twice, and good thing I bought two of them from the Appliance Parts Bank here in H.B. I have replaced two of them myself, not wanting to pay $75.00 minimum for a repairman to come and fix it. Also very annoying. Shoddy construction - plastic parts that are not made as well as my grandsons Lego parts!WORST PROBLEM & DANGEROUS... The microwave runs when it is in OFF position. In other words, if the door is closed, the microwave runs, never shuts off, and I mean HOT! A couple of times I have used it and went in the other room to do something and came back to almost a fire in my kitchen - smoke all over and the microwave still running. It has automatically shut off a couple of times. The door has to remain open at all times and the bright light is burning 24-7. Ive got to unplug the whole machine now as I dont want my house to burn down.DISHWASHER - What a piece! I use it seldom but water does not drain out properly. THATS ALL FOLKS - Very sorry, as I bought these from Sears because Sears was paying its reserve troops who were called to combat - my sense of love for that act alone propelled me to buy these units.

Kenmore 3.6 cu. ft. HE Top-Load Washer Item# 26-26002 - I purchased this washer along with a whole new kitchen remodel June 2013. The computer on the washer is not working and has to be replaced and it is August 2014. I took out a 30 year old Maytag that was still working fine (never once repaired) and now a little over a year later I am hit with a bill that is close to what I could go buy a cheap washer with. I have gotten no satisfaction from the company. They say I have to have an order number so they can make sure that was purchased when I said. Well they found it when I called about the cracked glass top on the stove I got at the same time... which has been replaced twice already. These items should come with a longer warranty or they should at least back their products longer. Will never purchase or recommend Kenmore again.

My oven has lasted nearly problem free over the years, and if I had problems that needed service, I could call and get it. My relative purchased a stove at the same time they both still work. They were seriously used for family cooking and truly held up to the task.

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.

A Kenmore oven purchased about 7 years ago seems to have a faulty circuit breaker. The broiler turns on by itself. The oven apparently doesnt even need to be turned on. It nearly burnt my home down (several times). The only way to turn the broiler off was to pull the oven out of the wall and unplug the oven. Sears offered $150, which doesnt even cover repairs. And if posts are true, it doesnt even fix the problem. Make right on this. Look it up: Kenmore oven broiler. Dont risk your families’ lives with Kenmore! I just paid $750 for a new oven which you owe us for. I am not taking a chance with my family’s lives because of poor manufacturing and negligence of human safety. I will not drop this because I care about innocent people who believe their oven will not erupt in flames on its own. Start living up to human decency and take care of this. I am one of many but I will not let this drop.

Our experience with all Kenmore brand appliances is so great that Kenmore has proven to be one of our choice and go-to brands. We will and have recommended Kenmore and will continue to shop this brand for future needs. Kenmore offers very competitive pricing especially for such a high quality brand. This is a good advantage to save money especially with a large family to support. Having a large family we have always needed quite a bit of room to store our groceries. Our Kenmore refrigerator is big enough to fit what we need it to. The shelves being adjustable has also held significant advantages. Our Kenmore refrigerator is white inside and out and is so easy to keep clean or to wipe away with a gentle swipe when the inevitable spills have occurred.

I purchased my Kenmore refrigerator from my local Sears appliance sale. I was able to bundle a warranty package and included annual maintenance inspections to make my purchase worry free. The 25 cubic foot size of the refrigerator gave plenty of room. Also, the water and ice dispenser was a great addition to the fridge. Moreover, the stainless steel finish went well with the range and dishwasher in the kitchen which were all Kenmore and look fantastic. Their appliances are reliable and a good value.

I like the size of the refrigerator and the separation (difference) of the refrigerator and freezer. The water pump (inside) is convenient, easy to use and keeps mistakes (overflowing water, accidental presses, etc.) to a minimum and off the kitchen tile. I love the size of the refrigerator and all of its compartments, but I do sometimes wish that the freezer had a little more space. (We do have a second fridge/freezer in our basement for holidays and alcohol.) The refrigerator looks very nice in our kitchen. It flows and does not look too clunky. (The black model) Matches our countertops and accents the oven as well. I would recommend the Kenmore Refrigerator and have to friends and family. Although a little pricier, we feel the value was well worth the reward.

Kenmore Ultra Bake Super Capacity Free Standing Gas Oven - Our oven stopped working right before Thanksgiving of 2012. It would not hold a temperature or even turn on at times. We had the control panel replaced for $300, and it got us through Thanksgiving. The oven originally cost $600 so to replace the control panel was very expensive. Right after Thanksgiving, it began to work inconsistently again. Our most recent incident was where the oven stayed on and increased the heat even though we turned it off and the control panel said that the oven was off. The gas was still on and clearly, the oven was increasing in temperature. We then got the error message E2-F3 which is the warning that it was too hot. We could not get it to turn off so we called the gas company to come right away. The gas man that showed up said that if we had cut the power to the house, the gas would have remained on unless we turned the gas valve off as well. This stove is too dangerous to keep. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

I purchased a Kenmore Elite top load washer in 12/2011. In roughly 12-13 months, the area around the bleach dispenser started to show signs of rust/corrosion. I contacted the Sears customer solutions group and they arranged a service call, which I paid for, to assess and confirm that there truly is rust/corrosion around the dispenser! I was quoted almost $300 for the repair, however the technician stated that there was a Service Flash for this very issue which apparently warrants a notification and how to handle it. This service flash SF26-813 clearly states as a repair as having a redesigned cover and dispenser along with having the cover completely painted. This obviously was a manufacturing defect that, when I started addressing with Sears, turned into a hot potato hand-off, from one department to another, without any sign of helping resolve the issue. They even sent me to LG, the manufacturer, to try to have them do something for me, instead of them bringing the issue to LG as their vendor and expecting resolution and seeking reparations. I finally was given a case number that was essentially useless since there is no direct contact person to work with, which in effect results in multiple solutions group people passing on emails trains without any point of contact. I even asked for direct contact and provided my phone number through every email...but still no call. This is the ultimate shell game with consumers...create a customer solutions group to help you...but dont actually have this group do anything to foster customer solutions. I was however offered $65 for part of the original service call. I even asked if they even interact with their vendors... in this case LG, to force them to own up to poor engineering and design, to help rebuild credibility and demonstrate responsibility for their products. I am Sears customer not LGs, and as such Sears should have an obligation to me. They in turn need to hold LG accountable for their inferior manufacturing design. Whatever happened to taking care of the customer? Sadly...this is a bygone saying.

We were excited about our new Kenmore oven. It was installed today and it took more than one hour to reheat the oven to 400*. After turned off the oven, the fan was on for a while. Its also very loud oven. Its new and we already called Sears for service. Im having red flags already and not sure if I will keep this oven. Do yourself a favor do NOT buy Kenmore.

We have had this for 4 years with no issues. Yesterday we had not used the microwave in several hours. Then my husband heard a pop in the kitchen. When we went out there the entire glass was shattered. There were small shards of glass on the stove and the floor. I have never heard of this happening. I googled it. That’s when I learned this happens if there is a defect in the glass. Thank goodness no one was in the kitchen or using the microwave at the time. A new microwave will cost less than the door will cost to replace. Go figure.

We remodeled our kitchen may of 2013, and purchased new elite, stove, refrigerator, microwave. 3 months after purchase, after using oven and turning it off, it was discovered that not only did it not switch off, it was super heating! We shut off the breaker. Called Kenmore, they sent a repair man out, who looked at it, and decided to replace the control panel. Took about 5 days for the part to come in, so I was without my stove for About 7 days. He replaced the part and we hoped all was well, but then, last week, it did it again. This is very scary! If we hadnt noticed, our house could burn down...again Kenmore wants to repair it, Im done with this lemon! I will never trust it again! Obviously, there is a piece in there that is blowing out this control panel. I paid a lot of money for this range, all I want is what I payed for. Kenmore was useless, but Sears is working with me. So hopefully, they will be replacing it for us....we will see over the next couple days...

We turn the oven Model #790.78859602, Serial # VF 73527358. Both upper and bottom was on preheat. In a minute we saw all fire inside the oven, small explosion, and gas smell all over the kitchen. We turn off all the knobs. We dont know the reason. I am writing this because if someone had the same problem I would like to know.

Bought the Kenmore double oven (top a microwave, bottom an oven). Oven racks kept falling. Sears replaced racks, oven interior, and wound up replacing oven. This time we got bottom and top ovens. Racks in both oven still fall. Very dangerous.

This isnt dissatisfaction... its a HAZARD. Broiler feed tube in back of oven has a hole which guessing formed when a piece of something landed on and reacted with aluminum. Turned broiler on... feed tube emitted gas through tube... broiler lit and whoosh large flame a good foot high and six inches wide emerged from back of oven... luckily I was standing right there. Turned burner and oven off. Flame went out in about 5 seconds... enough to scare the ** out of me! My range is a good 10 years in service... not a problem to be found until this. My opinion... a bulletin should be sent to all owners to check the broiler feed tube!!! Holy Guacamole if I wasnt there, the whole house couldve gone up in propane flames. Btw to the editor, yes Im sure GE does manufacture in the US but they do in Mexico, also... see tag.

I am irate with Sears. I purchased a Kenmore dishwasher from them in December 2010, and I had my own technician install it. The dishwasher was a total lemon, and started malfunctioning the first week we owned it. After four repairs for the same problem, and eight months of begging, Sears finally agreed to replace it. What is the only catch? Since I chose to use my own installation technician instead of Sears service, Sears now expects me to pay $150 to install a new dishwasher! So, they sell me a piece of junk, and then expect me to shell out $150 to remedy the situation! This is unreal.Below is a list of everything disappointing about our Sears experience:1. Sears didnt agree to replace their product right away. It took four breakdowns, and eight months to get them to get any sort of customer service.2. Sears never informed me when I bought the dishwasher that by not using the Sears installation service, I would be responsible for the replacement costs, if the product malfunctioned.3. Their multitude of DISRESPECTFUL sales representatives ranged from sarcastic to condescending and arrogant to blatantly rude.4. I was informed that I could not speak to anyone higher on the chain of command than a sales representative. I could write to the CEO if I wish.5. Their sales representatives on many occasions reminded me that, they were doing me a favor by not charging me a $50 restocking fee for the replacement dishwasher, since my product replacement was outside of the 90-day window. Ummm, Sears refused to replace the dishwasher within the 90-day window despite the fact that it had broken twice!6. One sales representative sarcastically offered me a $10 gift card for my year of trouble.I am incredibly disappointed in Sears. They used to be my “go to store” for any appliance, automotive, and outdoor need. Unfortunately, they will NEVER see another dime from me.

Performance was good. I rarely needed to pre-wash dishes by hand. Just rinse any solids or large amounts of liquids and dishes were always clean, even without using the hi-temp wash. Noise was tolerable, so you did not feel like you had to be in another room while the dishwasher was running. It is a standard sized dishwasher with a fairly normal interior layout common to most dishwashers in this price range. Dishwasher looks very nice in a kitchen of stainless steel appliances. They do show smudges and dirt, so cleaning is important. Window cleaner works wells to avoid streaks, but using stainless steel appliance cleaner gave the metal a deeper look, with easy application and is worth paying a few dollars for. This Kenmore was a good mid-range dishwasher. It is not silent, nor does it have an extremely well thought out interior, but it cleans well, looks good, and gets the job done for a reasonable price.

My Kenmore microwave is 16 months old and it is arcing. I called Kenmore and they said SORRY. If you dont have insurance then we cant help you. Is the quality so bad that a consumer is forced to take out insurance now? I will never buy Kenmore products again. Now I am afraid that the stove, refrigerator and dishwasher will end up in the trash also. Do not buy Kenmore products. They are not what they used to be.

I just purchased this range Friday after Thanksgiving 2015 and less than a week the burner caps got SOMETHING on it and it wont come off. The touch pad is ultra-sensitive when cleaning. (You can turn on the warmer, oven light, or even set the timer.) This is very frustrating. You have to WIPE WITH A WET, SOAPY cloth then a dry, no lint cloth so that it doesnt smudge. That also goes for the stainless. This range costs a mint too much to have to go through the inconvenience of this clean-up. As far as all the functions of the range, they seem to be working fine. Give me a couple of months and I will get back to you as to whether I am satisfied with this purchase.

Keeps the items I need for food cold enough but it sometimes builds ice in both the refrigerator and freezer sections. The freezer could be larger also. Too small especially in freezer section. Light sometimes gets in way of the food too. I am not sure whether is large as they claim it to be. It is all white and no different than any other refrigerator from Sears or any other store. Kenmore is ok. Depending on the sale prices at Sears, you may need to pay more for a stainless steel finish. Also, temperatures in the right door ran slightly warm. This is a very well-rounded high-end fridge that you can get at a mid-range price. If stainless steel is a must, upgrade to the 72483 (or to the LG model its based on). Otherwise, the 72482 offers the best value in its class.

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.

Bought electric stove in Jan 2011. On Christmas Eve this year, I preheated oven and smelled weird electric or plastic burning smell. Wasnt sure what smell was from, put muffins in to bake. Oven cooked way too hot and burnt muffins in 10 minutes. Turned oven off and sparks, smoke and black ash poured out of top. Called Sears to see what they would do about my stove starting on fire. They were rude and wouldnt do anything other than offer over priced technician that I would have to pay for.Clearly, the oven sparking and smoking was caused by a defect in their product. Afraid for my safety, I unplugged stove until I could hire my own repairman to come and diagnose stove. I would not trust Sears technician anymore than Kenmore product and was not about to pay more money to such a worthless company. Last time I checked, a stove is a purchase that should last longer than two or three years. $260 repair, had to replace control board. I will never purchase another Sears or Kenmore product. Buyer beware!! If you purchase a defective product from this company, you are on your own.

My new Kenmore range with convection oven ha aint peeling off where the oven vents. They say its cosmetic, not covered under warranty. Suggestions?

Thoroughly washed clothes without trouble. Never had a problem with it, continues to run after multiple years of use. Quiet as well, easy to use. I have had this washer for many years and see myself using it for many more to come. Would recommend to friends. Ive never had nor will I ever have a better washing machine. The appearance is sleek, innovative, and modern. It goes well with the interior of my home as well as the dryer that I own. I couldnt ask for a dryer that looks any different. The value is what you pay for, and in this case its well worth the price. It falls into a good range and is inexpensive compared to other washers.

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.

I used the self cleaning on the bottom oven. I did it according to the instructions in the manual. The walls in the bottom oven expanded so much that the racks will not stay up. It is not under warranty! This has never happened before to the other ranges we have owned and we have spent a lot more money on this range! Its a hazard when the racks fall I have to prop them up on empty pans to use the oven. We have been loyal Sears customers for years but now we will never purchase from Sears again!
