The washer quit draining and shows F51 and F34 codes. Following the trouble shooting info the company tried to hide from the customers inside, the washer showed the machine control board needed to be replaced. A quick internet search showed hundreds of complaints about the same thing. A recall was set up for some washers, but many others with the same problem are not included in it. If someone pays for a top end product, they should not receive a poorly designed/built pile of junk. This washer should be sold for $100 at Wal-Mart, and even then it might not be a good deal.

This has been the most dependable washer Ive owned in quite awhile. Its just too sad that Kenmore appliances are not very popular since Sears has left the retail world. I was always a Sears/Kenmore customer for all of my major appliances purchases.

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

On 10-28-2011, Sears Kenmore washer was repaired. model # 45087 and serial # cst0410838. The machine now is quieter and runs smoother than ever. We believe the suspension system was defective since it was new, as we had to adjust loads to eliminate the shaking and vibration. We have spent years of working with this washer, and now paid $280.00 to repair. What will Sears do to retain our business?

Model# 79631512210 - We purchased this Elite Washer from Sears approx. 2 years ago... Has been nothing short of a major pain in the A$$. This was set up by Sears technician on delivery, was set up level in all planes... No matter how small or how large the loads are, we can never get a load to successfully wash on the first try... Constantly get the UE error code, and have to play around with the laundry repeatedly to get the darn thing to finish a load. It should not have to take 3 to 4 hours to wash 1 load of laundry. Running up and down the stairs constantly, and wondering if the washing machine is working or not every single time we use it is not acceptable. Kenmore Washers, I know there are numerous people having the same problems with this model.. Please reach out to me if there is a recall, or if this can be replaced directly from you. Thank You.

Worked well enough for the price. Both were basic models with no bells nor whistles and they performed their jobs well. Neither were energy efficient but lasted many years and showed no sign of breaking down. They performed their jobs well. Got clothes clean and dry. Couldnt ask for much else considering the price.

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

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

Ive had my Kenmore front end loader Elite Quiet Pak smart wash & smart heat for close to if not 10 years. No complaints... No repairs, outside of the fact the washer isnt as quiet as I would like, it does a wonderful job!! Tops in my book, every type of cycle and cleans beyond the the normal washer.

I signed up for ConsumerAffairs to be able to ventilate my frustration about this washing machine. There is nothing wrong with the mechanics of this machine. It turns the front loading drum, like it should, adds water, removes water, etc. But the program-cycles it offers make the whole washing affair completely idiotic. All the cycles are way too short for good cleaning. (None takes longer than 1/2 hour.) Also, there is no cycle without a final spin option. I come from Europe where eco machines turn slow and long, in order to enable good soaking and cleaning. I have to add programs cycles in order to get anything clean with this machine. Meanwhile I cannot put off the spin session, so I end up using a lot of energy to get my wash done with this machine (while ruining my clothes with the spinning). My husband ordered this machine after thoroughly reading consumers reports. Makes no sense to me.

Works great. It fits all your loads in at once! Its efficient and gets the job done with multiple loads, and its energy-efficient. It saves time and money especially with a busy schedule. Its white, front loader, and fits in my pantry space. Not too big. Cost about $900.

My husband and I purchased a Kenmore Elite HE top load washer in May 2013. The clothes never seemed to be as clean as before and the cycles seem to take too long. After a short time it started flashing the out of balance code constantly, next the washer would shut down, it continued to get worse. I called Sears after a load of towels took 14 1/2 hrs to wash. We had bought the extended warranty that would cover repairs, and laundry service if needed, so they sent out a tech after waiting 10 days. He told me the washers really had a design flaw, plus Sears had sent a part out ahead of time that was totally useless. He ordered a new part, try to do what he could but washer was just as bad with stopping and lucky to even get one load done in a day. He came back after 2 weeks, put the new parts on, first load after he left stopped. I called Sears back and assured me the washer needed struts to prevent being out of balance. Struts came, put on after 2 weeks waiting, put a queen size set of sheets in to wash, it stopped. That load went for over 31 hrs! I called Sears and told them about the problem, they said a new part was ordered and told to hang in there. Really after 6 weeks and it still not working. I told them it was time to replace and they said no and that my laundry benefit with my warranty was only a courtesy and would only cover up to $25.00 a week up to $100.00 max. They dont acknowledge the fact of my inconvenience, the cost of power and water of a washer running for such extended periods of time, but they are not willing to help anymore than that with laundry expense. When I brought up the fact 6 weeks of laundry for a family of 5 would cost more than $100.00, the very rude manager on duty threaten to take the courtesy of the table. There definitely needs to be a class action lawsuit against Sears so consumers can get their money back.

This Kenmore series 700 washer is one of the worst washers Ive ever used. The countdown timer is rarely correct, hardly gets comforters completely clean, ie dry spots on it AFTER you take it out of the washer, which leads me to it NOT washing items completely. I could watch clothes float on top of the water while the agitator spins on the bottom, hence not cleaning them. Unless you use the DEEP FILL option for everything, it doesnt seem to get stuff clean. The only thing I like about it is the size of the washer drum, but if it doesnt clean like the old school washers do, then I may as well just do my wash at the local laundry mat.

We have never had a single problem with our set of Kenmores. We did not buy the top of the line more of the bottom line, no bells and whistle. The settings are easy to read and turn knobs too, Im blind/low vision and markings are bold enough for me to see. Baskets are more than big enough to handle all of our washing loads. No extra settings to cluster the facial plates with settings we will never use. Bleach trough in the right place and easy to pour into, big enough to hold recommended amount, softener container in the middle easy to get to, softener lid can be a little hard to get off if you cut your fingernails too short. Product and price was right, have had for 5 years no service calls, bought a set for daughter.

Tuesday, Feb. 17, 2015 a Sears Service Rep came to the house to repair our 3-year old Kenmore Top-Loading Series 2000 Model Washer. The washer was unbalanced during the spin cycles causing the machine to shut down. The Sears Service Rep replaced all four shock absorbers/springs on the basket with new ones. He also reprogrammed the machine. That afternoon we used the washer and it operated normally with no problems. Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2015 we used the washer this morning and it is now doing the same thing as before, rendering the machine unusable. We contacted Sears and they scheduled us for recall service on the morning of Thursday, Feb. 19, 2015.Thursday, Feb. 19, 2015 we were scheduled for service this morning, but Sears Service never showed up during the scheduled time window. We also received no telephone call informing us that Sears was not going to able to make it to our house. We called Sears Service that afternoon to complain and they rescheduled us for Saturday, Feb. 21, 2015 between the hours of 5:00pm and 6:00pm.Saturday, Feb. 21, 2015 Sears Service was scheduled to re-service our Kenmore Top-Loading Washer between the hours of 5:00pm and 6:00pm. Once again, no Sears Service Rep showed up. We called Sears and they said they had no record of us being scheduled for service that day. Diana was on the phone for 2 hours with Sears Service, all to no avail. They were not sympathetic and didn’t care. They attempted to reschedule us for Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2015. We told them that was the one day that week when we wouldn’t be at home due to doctor appointments. We asked them to schedule us for Monday, Feb. 23, 2015, Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2015 or Thursday, Feb. 26, 2015. They said that they couldn’t do it on any of those days as they were booked up. Sears Service said they could only come out on one of those days if someone canceled their appointment.Monday, Feb. 23, 2015 we called Sears Service again to try and get a Service Rep out to repair our Kenmore Washer on Monday, Tuesday or Thursday. They once again insisted that they could only come out on Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2015. They stated that if we didn’t accept Wednesday, then the earliest date that they could come after that was Tuesday, March 3, 2015.Sears has proved to us that they don’t care about fixing our machine, except at their convenience. They have stated that they couldn’t come out earlier unless another customer canceled their appointment. Sears apparently doesn’t care that their Service Department canceled on us twice, with no qualms about it and without notifying us that they weren’t coming. They refuse to make the service of our Kenmore washer a priority, even though it is Sears fault that the machine was not repaired correctly the first time and that Sears has failed to show up for scheduled appointments on two occasions. Sears Customer Service is absolutely horrible. When we called them to complain, they were uncooperative and refused to give us contact numbers for supervisors or the corporate office. They kept apologizing, but obviously had not one iota of care whether our washer was repaired (for a second time) in a fair and timely matter.

I purchased a Kenmore Elite, Gentle wash-Canyon Capacity-Quiet Pak Oasis HE Energy Star! The first year, it started knocking. Repair came and replaced parts. Repair man said this was a defective model! The same problem occurred the second time, and today the third time! I was suppose to get a replacement washer, but it never happened! Third time repairman came out, he replaced the computer board, said everything was okay! Ten minutes after he left I placed a small load of colored clothes in - during the spin cycle, it started knocking again! Called expressing my dissatisfaction. This will be the fourth time for the same problem! Sears initially was to bring another washer - never did! Sears sold me a defective washer knowingly! Have purchased service protection agreements, same problem still persists!

The washer works as advertised. I do 10-12 loads per week, and it handles the load well. The only issue is sometimes when washing blankets, the load gets shifted and becomes uneven so we have to stop the wash and shift the load. Ive had this washer for 2+ years, and it is very reliable. Its sleek and doesnt take up a lot of space, which is important because my laundry area in my apartment is rather small. It is easy to clean as well. I didnt buy the washer (it came with my apartment), but it has handled the workload admirably. I have had no problems with it or its work in the time Ive lived here, so its a great value for the money.

Kenmore gets our clothes clean, offers a Vietnam of cycles, temperatures and I am please. Kids do their own laundry so its easy to use. It stays clean and fresh smelling and cycles are fast. It is definitely reliable. Have had to for a few years and we do several loads a weeks. Have not had any issues with it not operating correctly. We are pleased with its functioning capability. Cant say I have seen a good looking or a bad looking washing machine but this machine is attractive. We have had it for a few years and I honestly do not remember what we paid for it but considering it has worked without issues for this long I would say it was good value.

My Kenmore washing machine does an excellent job. It is quiet and very easy to use. My clothes are always clean and I do not require as much soap as the other machines I have had in the past. Although my washing machine is a top loader and I have been told front loaders are better, I have used them in the past and I find the machine I have now is just as good or better than the front loading machines I have used in the past.

It washes the clothes nicely without taking much time and without making much noise as was the case with my previous washer. The delicate wash keeps my clothes safe and there is also a separate dispenser for the fabric softener and bleach. Since it has been purchased recently, cant tell much about the reliability but havent had any problems till now and expect that will not have any issues in future too. Would have loved if there was an option of black or silver grey. I have the basic white which is not very attractive and also doesnt match with the other appliances in the house. Have compared with most of the other brands for which I have other appliances. This one has a better value for money than most of the other brands.

It was very dependable when I had it. I had no problems with it from what I recall. It worked at all times and cleaned the clothes well. It wasnt too noisy but it did its job. I would expect a hassle free product from Sears since the expectation is that it would be very reliable and competitively priced product.

They have been reliable and have always got the job done. I have never had any problems with them or had to get them repaired and my clothes always come out clean and smelling fresh.

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

Kenmore #61722, 27 laundry center - I needed a stackset to conserve space. My local Sears employee did not recommend buying one. Later, I was where I could read reviews. I did not want buttons at the top. I am 52. I like the stainless steel and size of this tub. I had reservations about a water sensor and reviews of the stacksets being noisy. I now have had this model 5 months. I sometimes need to push refresh to make sure clothes are dry. I can turn off the chime. I wish it had the option just to spin. My roommate says the express was sometimes needs to spin longer but I have not had that problem. NOT noisy. My electric bill has gone down!

My Kenmore top load washer 500 series is junk. Been dealing with this piece of crap for three years. My problem washer goes into spin mode and makes a load boom bounces hard shakes and stops spin. Very scary. Had two service tech out change the computer board and one changes the tub ring. Still having the same problem. Dont want to use it anymore because I fear its going to break my floor tiles when in spin mode. It shakes and bounces so hard. Its a piece of crap. Going to call the service department once again if they dont fix it they find in their showroom dont buy this washer. Its crap.

Purchased the washer used and it still worked well for a few years. Bought a new LG as a replacement and hate it. Will be going back to Kenmore in the near future when we purchase a new house. We will also purchase a Kenmore washer, even though the LG is less than two years old.

I wasnt pleased with new front loader. After writing complaints Sears came through and I now can say they stand by their products. Thank you!

It worked great. We bought it a while ago and it still runs like new. We have a family of 5 and it works great. We use it every day. Wouldnt trade it for anything. So reliable we havent had any issues with it even with daily use for a family of 5. We have 3 dogs and it does great with the dog hair also. So cute. Fits in with all of our appliances. Love the design and load capacity. Its just the right size and the display is easy to read. I think its an excellent deal for what we paid. It has every feature we wanted at an affordable price. Great brand for your buck. The load size and look was cheap compared to other brands.

It could be a bit larger but it dries the clothes in a good amount of time with few issues. Goes well with our washer. No major problems. No major issues, does the job with out any problems. I would recommend it to others. Works well with the washer without need for major repairs. It actually has a plain appearance. We didnt buy it to show off but to dry the clothes which it does very well. No problems with how it looks. It was a very good price and since it does a very good job of drying the clothes, we believe that it is a very good value. No issue with the cost.

After only 2 years it... DIED! Bearing crapped out. Repairman stated all companies make appliances that die in 2-3 years or COST TOO MUCH to repair. There goes an $800 washer. I suggest paying double for a Speed Queen or Bosch or just buy the extended warranty and make the company pay for a new one when it fails!

I brought a Kenmore washer in March of 2010. By the summer of 2010, the machine dial needed to be replaced. My washer was still under warranty, so the part and labor was covered. It has not been two years, and the dial broke again. My washer is no longer under any warranty, due to being on disability, and I am unable to afford the extended warranty. I feel the washer should have lasted longer than a year and a half. I also feel Sears should fix this washer for free. I have to try to make the washer work, by turning the dial from the bottom, and hope that the machine will land on the wash cycle.

I purchased a Kenmore Oasis Elite in May 2006. We have no children at home, just two retired people. Within a year the hinges on the lid had to be replaced. Rust has been developing. Recently, the tub would hit against the frame when spinning. The repairman replaced the computer board, still didnt work. Another visit and he replaced the pump, still didnt work. Company replaced the steal tub (drum), still didnt work. The repairman stated that it probably would not last more than a year because the struts needed replaced. No surprise, one load of wash and the banging of the tub continued. Spoke with a Sears representative today. He stated that many people were very happy with the machine and it has lasted without any problems and I must have gotten a bad machine. I told him that if I got a lemon they should replace it. He said it was no longer under warranty and nothing could be done. Please never buy any Kenmore appliances from Sears.

I have owned this Kenmore Elite Oasis HE washing machine for 6 years and we had a recall on the machine 3 years ago - after years of the machine stopping because of UL unbalanced load. With this recall, they replaced the computer memory board. However, my machine is doing the same thing again. Sears has sent a repairman that would not even open the lid on the machine to see the problem. He ran a diagnostic test on the machine and said that he had no idea what the problem was. I called Sears repair and they assured me they would repair my machine. However, when the next repairman was on his way to my house, he also had no idea what the problem was with my machine. When I explained the situation, he had no direction on how to repair my machine. Is anyone else having the same problem? I do realize that I have purchased my last Kenmore product and anything from Sears!

I have owned my Kenmore Elite Oasis for four and one half years. The only reason why I had to purchase a new washer was because I lost my old one (a Maytag) when my basement flooded. I thought that purchasing a Kenmore would be a good idea. My parents always purchased Kenmores and never had problems. Boy, was I wrong! After the first year, my troubles began. I have had the bearing replaced 4 times, as well as the computer board and suspension rods. Thank goodness I purchase a master agreement plan each year, since all this had been covered. The icing in the cake happened 2 weeks ago, when again I was getting the UL code. The first repairman came out and replaced the rods and made some other adjustments. He leaves and I start a load, then get the F51 code! I angrily call back and of course had to make another appointment. I was told all they had to do was reset the computer. Repairman 2 comes out and tells me it is more than the computer, it is the bearing. So there goes week 2 with no washer, and another trip to the laundromat. I was then told that my machine qualifies for the lemon clause, and Sears would email me a replacement cost. They quoted me $830, so I just went out and bought a LG machine. Im done with Kenmore brands, they are junks. For all the money and service calls Sears has had to pay on this machine, they could have bought me four washers! It has been three aggravating years owning this machine, and I would not recommend an Oasis to anyone.

Good, reliable machine. It cleans my clothes, and there is the ability to wash differently size loads. I have a choice of water temperatures, activity of washer and length of was washing time. It is a very excellent machine.

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

The washer does well. It has a nice capacity load and is a lot quieter than older models. You just have to make sure the lid is closed securely. I like the washer but had to replace the circuit board after just two years of washing, just hope this isnt a constant issue with it. If it is it might be cheaper to replace the washer. The washer is sleek. It fits well in any space you choose to place it. It really is stylish looking it is really different looking from older washers and others looking at it like it. As I bought the washer new I certainly did not expect to have problems with it after just two years of washing with it. I hope this problem doesnt persist.

Washes my clothes good and gets out tough stains my previous washers couldnt. I would recommend anyone looking for a new washer to buy this one. Havent had any problems with my washer breaking down so Id say its pretty reliable. The best washer Ive ever owned. Definitely worth the money. Its a great looking washer that is easy to use and is the basic size you would expect a washer to be. Its easy to empty and load. A great buy. For the price its definitely a good buy. Havent had any breakdowns or malfunctions. If youre in the market for a new washer I recommend buying this one.

Rust forming around bleach dispenser. I feel this is poor workmanship on Kenmore part. However they coat the enamel finish on the frame into which the dispenser sits in 3 year should not start to rust! If untreated this will spread and spot rust marks will start appearing on clothes. There is no way to contact Kenmore directly. Everything reverts to sears. Who want to charge me $79.00 to come tell me there is rust but will put the 79.00 dollars towards my repair bill. This is poor customer service.

This machine holds large loads, and it drains properly. The knobs are self explanatory, so even one that is not used to taking care of the laundry on a regular basis can understand how to use this machine. It gets clothing clean with proper soap usage. This washing machine works well. It hold large loads of clothing and even will wash one comforter blanket at a time. I never have to worry about whether or not my clothing will get clean. The machine gets the job done. Simple yet efficiently elegant. I got it at a good value. This machine works hard and pretty much earns a bit of unfair abuse but it does the job.

I am completely dissatisfied with this machine. It tangles and twists my clothes even on the delicate cycle. It does not clean our underwear. I have terrible yellow stains on my towels, and it does not clean the makeup off of my washcloths. I have to constantly reset it if washing towels or bed clothes. I have also noticed rust around the edges of my bleach fill. The softener does not empty correctly. I have no positive comments. This machine cost a small fortune, and I am ready to throw it down a hill! I had a Maytag prior to this machine that worked wonderfully. Piece of junk!!

Its a good washer and has last many years. It has never broke down and never given me any problems. It does a good job cleaning so I like it very much. It has fit all of my problem since I have had this washer. It is strong and really does a good job cleaning my and my familys clothes so it has been good to me and has done its job good. The look of this washer is very nice. It sets up well and does not move. I like the way it looks and it fits all of the things around the house. It cost a little more than I thought it would but it has paid for itself many time over so I really can not complain about the price of this washer.

My Kenmore washer looks nice and clean. I like the appearance and it fits with my other appliances very nicely. I would have like to have a more vibrant color though, but its performance OK. It works well and has a lot of room. It gets the clothes clean and can even wash a comforter in it which is nice because I usually have to take them out of the house to wash them. Its reliable and so far so good. I have not had to have repairs done and it gets the job done. The value is good too for what I got. It was actually cheaper than I thought it would be at first which was very pleasing.

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

Never had an issues with performance. Gets my clothes clean with minimal effort. Very quiet in its operation. Very good value for the money. I am extremely happy with the quality the machine has. I have had this washer for the last six years. It replaced a older kenmore that was at least fifteen years old. I had never had an issue with either one. The reason it was replaced was a sale price I could not pass up. The design is a simple design. It is a basic washer but that is my style. Does not stand out but that is the reason I bought it. Very easy to keep clean. I bought over the summer during a Fourth of July sale. For my money it was the best value that I came across.

I purchased my Kenmore front load washer in 2009. All was good until I need it fixed! A technician came out and told me what was wrong...and charged me for that visit! Now a part is on back order and has been for OVER 2 MONTHS!!! This is ridiculous! Sears repair service sucks! I will never purchase another product from them and I will definitely pass my experience along so that others do the same!!!

Last a long time. Washes and rinses acceptable. Has different water levels. Different wash cycles. Fits in a small area. Looks good. Best washer I have ever used. Reliable, runs forever. I have had mine for over 20 years and it has not broken down even one time. Easy to set up, powerful. Appearance was a basic white, top loader, slot for soap in two places, easy to move if needed, not too big so it does not take up too much space. Nice. Considering how long I have been using the washer I say it was a great bargain, thought it was too pricey at first but when you are still using 20 years later it was a steal.

I highly recommend this machine. Clean design and lines, will fit with any decor, is versatile. The white color cleans up nicely. I’ve had other washer that got dirty easily but not this baby. All clothes come out clean, enough settings to clean anything, easy to use and clean, very reliable and has a small electrical footprint. This machine is great for the money, doesnt have all the bells and whistles but it looks nice and has worked great from day one. Had washer over 2 years now and hasnt needed any servicing or maintenance. I think it would be hard to find a better machine.

It got the washing done in the perfect amount of time. It was rather short but it still got the job done. It also had plenty of different cycles to help you wash everything you need. It fit every single day be of my items. I never once had to run two loads for it all to fit. My only complaint is that I with the silverware compartment was a little more convenient. It looked absolutely gorgeous. It fit very well in my modern style kitchen. I would say if you have a rustic kitchen this isnt the washer for you based on an appearance standpoint. It was one hundred percent worth the price. It wasnt too expensive and it really gets the job done. Recommended it to anyone. It was great.

It really gets those tough stains out with detergents. The power of the water is really amazing. It does its job amazing and cant describe how I get excited to do my laundry each week. It can fit a lot of clothes inside the washer and it somehow cleans every single one! It can run for a long time and the job gets done. I use the warm water and it usually works! Its not an ugly washer like the coin laundry ones. This one works like a charm while looking really good. You can see the cycle and the way this just operates is just a work of beauty! The price isnt that bad. The power of this machine will give you satisfying results. The price does match up with what this washer can do because it is a beast at washing clothes and the price says what its worth and its definitely worth the price.

Kenmore washer would not turn on. I waited 4 days for a service tech. He ordered a part that took approximately 3 weeks to get. Another service tech showed up 4 days after the part was delivered to my house. He installed the part, we did a load of laundry and the washer flooded two rooms of my basement. I called Kenmore to tell them the issue and they told me they can send out somebody 6 days from now. They also connected me with a claims department that said they cant look at my house for 2 days. Now, I have no washer and my wife and I will spend 3 days cleaning our basement. These were all warranty work. I was offered a 1-year service agreement for my inconvenience.

This washer had a strong agitation cycle and I never needed a repair. Easy to use knobs. Never had to explain how to turn it on. My clothes always came out smelling good and looking fresh. I could wash a decent sized load of dirty clothes in this washer. I never needed a repair and the agitation was strong and reliable. The water flowed freely and the knobs were easy to understand. This washer was a simple washer in looks. Even though I could have gone for something more spacey and futuristic in looks I was very happy with its performance and easy to understand knobs. Looks arent everything. I think in this day and age we spend too much money on things that break down over time. This washer was sturdy and reliable and I never needed a repair so I am satisfied with the amount of money I paid for it.

I wanted a washing machine that was efficient - easy to program - EZ to load and unload - had multiple options - and was QUIET. Those requirements have been fulfilled. It has also been trouble free. I especially like the stainless steel tub. The SPIN cycle is effective and QUIET. The machine does not walk - hop as some older models had a tendency to do.

Overall, my Kenmore washer was very efficient and helpful in meeting my needs. It also fits my need as far as space and energy saving. Moreover, they are clean, appealing and easy to maintain. I recommend that you buy Kenmore appliance products because they are very durable and trustworthy. The name has a reputation backed by good standing and Kenmore produce a sufficient warranty on their products.

Bought this washer new and it lasted 23 months! Control board stopped working. Repair estimate more than original cost of machine. Very disappointed.

I just purchased my Kenmore January 27, 2019. The soak button is odd and does not really do me any good but I had a horrible experience with LG so I am holding out hope for this new washer.

This brand and model gets the job done. No matter what is put in the washer, it always comes out clean. I never have to worry about clothes coming out dirty! With five people in my house, two being teenagers and one toddler, this washer is very reliable. I never worry about having to fix an issue. Reliability in a washer is a must for any household with teenagers and a toddler. The model washer I own is very basic looking, which in my opinion is the best. Basic does not mean cheap since it still functions as a high end washer. The value that you get when you buy a Kenmore is the best. You actually get your moneys worth and more with any and every model. Kenmores worth every penny.

It is the best washing machine I have ever owned. Cycles are done much faster than I ever would have to possible. It easily handles all of my garments, from the bulkiest ones to my most delicate items. This is the most reliable appliance I have ever owned. It is extremely dependable and that is very important to me as I have to do laundry every day. I have never had a problem with its performance and it has never needed one repair. Its physical appearance is absolutely stunning! Its so smooth and sleek. It looks very high tech and like it is of very good quality. It compliments the color scheme in my laundry room perfectly and really brightens up the whole room. This appliance is a very good value. My friends and family, anyone we have over to the house that happens to see it always ask how much I paid for it and are so surprised when I tell them that they ask for more information on it and say they would consider buying one too.

We purchased this top loading washer less than a year ago and have been very unsatisfied. Would love our old, no energy efficient, agitating washer back in a heartbeat. This new machine never appears to clean the clothes well. They not only come out a wrinkled mess, they also come out with white splotches and dirt splotches on many dark clothing.

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

Kenmore Washer 80 Series - Horrible, horrible washing machine. Tears up all my clothes. Everything gets caught in the bottom of the agitator. I have holes in my clothes, holes in my towels, and holes in my sheets. I basically cant agitate anything and instead just soak the stains out and spin it dry. There should have been a recall on this machine. I have lost a lot of money in clothing and linen items that this machine has ruined.

Its good, it gets the job done. My clothes fresh and clean. Never had any technical problems with it or anything like that. Very good. I would recommend it personally to others. It works great. Its appearance is good, I like it. The value is perfectly fine, the cost was reasonable.

I used my Washer reliably for many years. It always got my clothes, sheets, and towels clean nicely. It held a good sized load, including king sized winter blankets. It cleaned our laundry quickly and efficiently. Minimal noise when running. Its aesthetically pleasing, very neat, clean white, fits nicely in its chosen space. The dials were easily readable even for young children. It was a very valued member of my home. It continued to wash our clothes reliably for twenty years, even through daily use of four to five loads per day.

Everything about this experience was the best. Our washing machine went out. We decided to go buy a whole new set at home depot. The staff found what we needed and wanted in less than 10 minutes. He was very knowledgeable and polite. He even got it delivered the next day... And moved old set to the curb. :) This set has lasted for at least five and a half years. I have had no problems. I keep the warranty updated after my last incident... But also because I love this set the best. It fits my family very well. The kids are even starting to learn.This had everything I needed for my needs and laundry room. Every setting had been used many times over. Never have had a garment ruined. Everything is still very easy to understand... Especially with the ever so handy instructions... Lol. The value was simply stellar. I questioned the excitement at first... But the more I researched, I found that I was getting a great deal. Nothing has gone wrong in the five years that we purchased the set.

It was fine. I had it when I was a lot younger. Its been a while, but was good when it worked. I might get another one in the future at some point. Good for a big load or a small load. Its important to break up your clothes into lights and darks. Use bleach w/ the whites and use the black colors with other laundry detergent. Good look. I like the feel and overall value of it. It looks like it could achieve a great deal of cleanliness. Id like the price to go down a bit and am willing to buy a used model. Value is important because it shows the overall need of a product. If it performs well and is at a good price, those are the best of both worlds. Very important in the long run if I will buy a product.

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

This was purchased in 2016 for about $1300.00 USD. This year, 2018, an error began showing on the display, LE. The error is indicating a motor failure. Our 2010 Kenmore Toploader still works fine, never had any issues with it. Moving on, Kenmore telephone support was both unhelpful and rather brash in nature, whilst I was polite at all times. The representative was uncaring, had no positive or helpful information, other than to provide the cost of the motor at $62.73 USD. When I asked for the cost to install the motor, $99.99 to look at the washer and give an estimate on the repair cost! Any company is fully aware of the time necessary to install a part such as a motor, yet Kenmore wants $99.99 to tell you how much they will bleed you for the repair. In short, this washer is an expensive pile of junk, so avoid Kenmore products, they are now low-quality junk for high-dollar prices. I wish I could say I am not an owner as they suckered me out of hard-earned money. I will never buy another Kenmore product in this lifetime.

To put it mildly, I am totally fed up with this Kenmore Top load series 700 washer. More often than not, I have to repeat an entire wash, as I just have, but for the third time (same load) because the clothes come out with a scuzzy residue all over them. I have tried deep fill, two rinses, etc. etc. Nothing works with any consistency, and it is ludicrous to have paid almost a thousand dollars for a machine which, from its first day, refuses to wash clothes satisfactorily. Is there no way to make Kenmore accountable for marketing and selling a product which is such a miserable failure?

A couple of years ago I bought a Kenmore Elite Dishwasher. It looked great, sounded great. When it was being delivered, the delivery man said, See you in a few years. I asked what he meant, and he said, Youll be replacing this before too long. I was stunned. Surely not, it looked too good. Until it wasnt. First thing that happens, the plastic wheels on the bottom rack started falling off. Turns out, they use a plastic piece to hold the plastic wheels on. When its a couple of years old, they shrink and the wheels fall off. Of course you dont know this until toxic smoke is pouring out during the heating cycle.After scraping and trying to clean the plastic off the burner, I check the other wheels only to find out they are all the same. There are 8 wheels on the bottom rack, and are only sold in pairs on a plastic mount. $60 per. Needless to say, its hundreds of bucks to keep it usable. And they dont want to hear about warranty or faulty parts. Learned my lesson. If the delivery guy says its bad, believe it.

I will NEVER purchase nor will I recommend Kenmore Elite Stainless Steel appliances. First, the only stainless steel which exists is in the handles on all appliances, everything else is cheap metal. I bought in 2016 the Side-by-Side (both doors developed rust spots within one month), Dishwasher (outside door) developed rust spots, Microwave/Oven combo (both doors) developed rust spots, and Gourmet Hood, which developed rust spots and the lights no longer work. All I did was use the cleaner, which came with the appliances. I built a brand new house and everything within one month had rust. I called Sears, well, guess what, I was over my 30 days so NO WARRANTY on the rust. I called the store and Were sorry to hear that. No discount on my full purchase price either. My husband, who is a builder, said they are more than likely storing the appliances in a damp warehouse and its cheap metal, as steel doesnt rust. In the past, I purchased GE Profile and no problems. Here I have a new house with old looking appliances.

Very reliable and dependable. Heavy duty. Could hold large loads of clothes/towels. I believe mine lasted for about 15 years. I do not believe I ever had any mechanical problems with either machine. Only got new machines when I moved to a new house. Actually sold the pair used in a garage sale.

A very powerful motor that get my clothes clean the first wash. At times I do not have to re wash any of my loads. Keep clothes clean the first wash and with very small amount of detergents. It is a reliable machine in that whenever I need it to clean clothes, it is available to clean for me. I can relied on it to clean virtual any piece and sizes of clothing. Also cleans on all sort of fabrics. I am satisfied with the rugged appearance, since I like the durability of it all. The tough appearance also make me think it is a tough machines that can help me with any tough job. Great value for the job it can do for you giving the versatility of the machine and the work it can do. I am happy for its rugged nature and the tough job it performs.

I purchased the Kenmore front load washer, model 4031, in January 2010. Exactly one year and one month later, we were noticing the noise coming from it was like a helicopter flying over our house. Considering it is in the basement, thats loud! We had a serviceman come and check it out. He said the bearing was shot and it would have to have a new drum, etc., to the tune of around $700+. It also puts a nice groove in the see-through door material due to the banging around, I guess. Plus I found a seal of some sort in my wet clothes - looked as if it had been cut into. Well then we had to get an anti-hammer device as when it would fill with water, it caused the pipes to about vibrate out of their brackets (Sears says this is a common problem).So to top everything else off, water now runs out the front onto the floor when I wash. My husband is retired. We bought this $1,800 set thinking we would be good for quite a few years and not just a couple. We are very upset with Sears. I went to them right away when all this started. They told me no one had had any problems at all with these! I, of course, have the horrible smell on everything, plus streaks on light clothes. I am just sick about this. I also was one of the lucky ones that had the Neptune set that caused Maytag all the grief. Cant believe I have been ripped off again. Just dont really know what to do!

I had a white Kenmore washer. I had no problem with actual cleaning and it had all the bells and whistles I needed. However I didnt get my moneys worth. It needed repairs as the water pump started leaking. There are only 2 people in household, not used everyday. It shouldnt have needed repairs after barely 5 years. Kenmore used to last forever, but have been dissatisfied with the last few appliances from them.

Kenmore Elite Washer delivered in 8/2013. From day one it would stop mid cycle. Oct. 2014 got so fed up babysitting it to make sure it finished that I called for repair. Person said it was a common problem. Tightened wash plate and then sold me a Protection agreement. He said call whenever happens again. Feb 2015, they came out again for same problem. He said I had to ensure I only put like clothes together and that really it isnt a washer for just two people! He also decided to adjust one leg on the washer as he thought that may be an issue also.For the past two weeks, it has started not finishing cycles again, even though I have made sure I only wash like products together, ie jean only, towels only, sheets only, etc. Painful when there are only two of us. After babying this machine all day yesterday, I ran the clean washer cycle. It took three starts and stops. I then tried to do a drain spin to at least get the water out.This morning, I called the repair number for them to come out. This is now the third time on this machine. They are dispatching tech by end of week. 5 days for it to sit with water in it. She also told me to call the Protection Dept. to see if anything they can do. So in the meantime, I have a washer sitting here with water in it. She said to unplug it, let it sit for a minimum of 40 seconds and then try the drain spin again (which I did try twice last night). I will give it a try while I wait for the PA dept. to pick up as they are very busy, according to the recording.

With five kids a capable, long lasting washer is a necessity. Also have found it to be very energy efficient. Size is also a plus, giving both bulk and ease of use. Ive had these products for at least a decade. Always been very satisfied, especially with the newest addition. Washes at least five loads every other day and hasnt been anything but dependable. Usually I prefer a top end loader. Current version is front loading and Im pleasantly happy with the choice. Also kids love to watch the cycles go through. Value wise I think our current washer is a bit on the high end but its hard to argue compared with the effectiveness. If given the opportunity Id definitely choose our current washer however.

I had a Kenmore which had never have my load cleaned up after even double washing cycle. The model is 402.49032011.

Kenmore is a great appliance company. I would buy any of their name brand products. I wash clothes every week. I normally do about 8 loads of laundry. I wash and dry in a Kenmore. It is quick, efficient, not loud, and gets the job done.

I purchased Kenmore gentle wash canyon cap in 2007. Within the first 2 yrs I had have tech come out, the select dial would not stay on the load indicated. The first tech told us that we needed electronic part and plastic around wash tub needed to be replaced. Ok. 2 weeks later a new tech arrives and said the 1ST tech ordered the wrong parts. After a month the washer was fixed (so we thought). Well it 2014 and guess what? Same problem with load indicator, but now the washer with clothes or no clothes just starts banging on the spin cycle. Had local washer repair tech come in, not from Sears. He tells me tension rod that stabilize tub during spin cycle are shot. So between the service fees and replacement parts I have decided to shoot the washer. I will never spend that kind of money on a new washer again.

I have had this Kenmore washing machine for one year. It is now leaving residue on my clothes. When I called Sears for warranty service they refused to service the machine saying that, The machine works fine. You just need to wash ALL your clothes in hot water. When I explained to the representative that it has been working fine on cold until recently he said that it is not their problem and there is nothing they can do or rather will do.

Kenmore top loading high efficiency washer model 110.2810 - We purchased this washing machine from Sears for $750 on 12/2/2012 and did not purchase the extended warranty. It is now less than two years old and I came home the other day to find my basement flooded because the outer drum of the machine cracked. The repair person said he could not believe what he saw with this broken part and he felt this was clearly a manufacturers defect. It will cost $600 to repair my 2 year old washing machine. I called Sears to request that they supply the part for free so that I only needed to pay for the repair itself of $300 and was told I needed to call the manufacturer Kenmore. When I called the phone number that was posted by Kenmore I was told that I needed to contact the manufacturer directly as they could not help me. I told them that I thought I did call the manufacturer and they told me that I called Sears. I told them I got the phone number off of the Kenmore website and they said yes, they post that number but its actually to Sears. What kind of customer service is this? They then transferred me to Whirlpool who manufactures Kenmore. After talking with the rep at Whirlpool, she said they no longer manufacture Kenmore and that I need to call Sears because they sold it to me. This is a terrible way to do business. It would be nice if they would manufacture a reliable product that you do not need to purchase an extended warranty for an amount that costs half the price of the machine itself. They do this apparently because they know they are manufacturing a substandard product. This is an American based company and this is truly an embarrassment for our country to have such poor manufacturing supported by even worse customer service. I would sincerely hope that management takes a better look into how they continue to do business.

Shortly after the one year warranty expired on our Kenmore 400 Washer (Model:29422801), it began tearing holes in items. The washer seems to enjoy eating jeans, boxer shorts, shirts, my wifes bras, and our blankets. After 14 months, the washer no longer functions as it was described. I tried to reach out to the manufacturer but to no avail.

Sears (Whirlpool) washer model 110 261 132411 - I purchased this washer in Oct 2016. I went back to the store to complain about the noise when the washer is filling with warm water. The washer bangs the hot and cold pipes off and on over 20 times to get warm water??? The noise is ridiculous and is annoying not only to me but to my townhouse neighbor. I have checked the pipes and they are secure to the boards. I had a service person check things out and he said they could do nothing and it was my problem. I have never had such a problem with a washer. I have always liked Kenmore products but after this I will go to Samsung.

I have a front load extra large capacity washer with sensors that determines load size and how long, strenuous or light the wash cycle will be. So far, I don't have to worry about what I am washing - heavily soiled items, denims, delicates or bulky linens, this washing machine has done a perfect job. Love it!

The Kenmore Washer Elite Oasis works fine till the ending number 6 rinse. Last couple of years, the problems are way too many with the machine. It cost good money. Please help me!

It cleans my clothes amazingly and never makes weird noises. I never had to have it repaired.. As long as this washer is working it will be the one I have and I will always use Kenmore. Theyre absolutely fantastic. Its a nice style washer, very convenient and clean and proper looking. I value this washer so much. Its such a amazing piece of machinery. Hands down the best washer I could ask for.

It was a bit loud but nothing closing the door couldnt handle. I felt it was worth what I paid for it. This was a good device. I didnt have much trouble with it while it was in the house. It did a good job cleaning and needed little maintenance or repair work. I liked it although its a washer. Theyre only going to look so good so youre only going to care so much about it. I cant say I got it for appearances so it didnt really matter to me much on what it looked like. I would say this product was of good value to me for my needs. It lasted me well for a good few years and I found servicing was not frequent. I replaced it recently because I was redoing the kitchen.

Worked great, never really had any problems. The model I had I wish would have had a bigger drum and no agitator. For the price, all in all it was a great product...

We had a Kenmore washer for many many years that was given to us by a previous owner that had it for many years as well was fixed several times on the front pouch. Id buy a Kenmore. It ran years on its last leg.

Good delivery from Sears. Great product so far. Very quiet and washes thoroughly. Large capacity for 10 or more pairs of mens jeans which came out squeaky clean. Also using double rinse. Love these features.

Kenmore Elite top loading washing machine - This washing machine is less than 6 years old and for the past year it would imbalance when heading into the final spin cycle following the rinse cycle. I tested it with nothing in the machine and it still imbalanced. In researching the problem on the internet I found that this problem is not unique to my machine.The response from what is termed a community expert is that the entire tub needs to be replaced, which would at that time (2011) cost $212, not counting labor costs.The frequency of occurrence would suggest that this is a design or manufacturing flaw. This floating tub design actually seems illogical and destined for failure. Although these washers are listed as canyon capacity washers, I can only guess that in reality bulky loads can imbalance the washer to where it in some way disfigures the tub or the mechanism stabilizing it. The bottom line being, buyer beware. I know I will not purchase another Kenmore product.

Kenmore washers have been in my house since I was a little boy. We would stuff clothes in it as much as we could. It never broke down. However it was chore we all could live with. Even when I went in the military and college I guess I was really because they were always there. Im in the process now of looking for a stack rack model, I hope Kenmore makes them. Now that coronavirus is everywhere you look we dont get out as much. Friends have been suggesting that I could go online and place an order. I tell them I am the kind of person that likes to see and inspect the items I usually purchase. Ordering online I have had my personal dissatisfaction with product that are not as they seem once it gets to your home. The material are not what you see in the picture. Thats why when I buy Kenmore I am confident about its quality and value.

My Kenmore Washer is 18 months old. The washing machine has leaked twice. Once because of a manufacturer defect. The second time because a hose came loose. The washing machine is a top loader and does not have an agitator. On small loads I get a UE warning which means out of balance. It gets this code so many times it takes 3 hours to complete the load. They replaced 3 boards and this did not fix the problem. They ordered another part and Sears did not show up at the scheduled time. I had called several times on the scheduled date to verify the appointment and I found I was scheduled but they had failed to assign it to a technician. This meant I really was not on the schedule. The customer service person told me some of their service personnel did not know how to read the screens and did not realize I did not have an appt. I now have been without a machine for two weeks and their management will not call me till Monday, the problem happened on a Friday. I am very frustrated.

The washer always effectively cleaned a full load. Also very easy to use. I taught my children to use a washing machine on this model. Happy with the capacity. Able to wash a king size comforter. This washer gave me many years of clean clothes. The only issues I had with it was a sock clogging it. The washer itself lasted my family of 5 many years. The washer was a top loading unit. Completely white. Easy to use and understand controls with temperature adjustment and water level adjustment. The money spent was average for comparable units. Knowing how long it will last, I would have paid more. This is a reliable last brand that my family will stick with.

Kenmore is really a great brand and I trust it. Out of the whole 5 years that Ive had this particular washer Ive never had to repair it, buy parts for it, is still up to its name Kenmore. Just a regular white washer not too many buttons and knobs but very easy to clean and it worked wonderfully. I loved it. It did not tear up my clothes. Ive had a washing that used to heat my clothes up.

We were given advice by the local sales agent to purchase this top of the line appliance (Kenmore 800 top loading washer) as it was reliable and one of the very few to require frequent repair. As a long and faithful consumer, we expected the appliance to be of solid construction and give us the type of service we came to associate with the Kenmore reliability. Alas, what a downfall. The product has turned into a constant expense in repairing the never-ending problems. As of this day, I have become wary of any product sold by Sears and Kmart due to our problem. We are retired, living on a fixed income, and cannot afford the extra expense we have burdened by the misrepresentation of the sales agent. Therefore, we may just start shopping elsewhere for any further purchases. I am saddened by the disappointing drop of quality in any of the Sears and/or Kmart consumer products.

Quality product that performed well. No issues that I can complain about. I washed many clothes and then dried many clothes. I then wore them and looked amazing. People would stop me on the street and beg to hear the secret of my look. I would whisper Kenmore then run away.

Purchased new Kenmore Elite Front Loading Washer in November 2013. Very loud and noisy. Cannot watch TV in the next room. When I wash heavy loads like 3 Large towels it stops in the middle of spin I guess unbalanced. I have to restart the spin. Does not make sense. I purchased the largest tub size they had. Top of the line. As far as the noise, when they delivered they never balanced and after reading the directions it says this is critical for the spin cycle and noise. I went and bought a 4 level and balanced the machine per instructions. Helped minimal but too extremely loud. Will never buy another Kenmore. It has leaked water about 4 or 5 times. I walk in the room and water on the floor. I called Sears for service and they advised to read the directions and you have to closely follow the type cloths you wash and the type cycle or it leaks. It you have KIDS DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE. I am an Adult and I caused it to leak water 4 or 5 times in 7 months. If I had known this I would have never purchased this machine. I paid for a 5 year maintenance too so about $2,000 for a new washing machine that leaks water on my floor if I choose the wrong cycle for washing. Brilliant minds at Sears. You cannot make this stuff up!

It washes well and is efficient at getting stains out usually. It is not too loud also. I feel it is quite durable at the same time. I am quite satisfied with it. I have only had one breakdown in 6 years and had to call a repairman to fix it but for the most part I have no issues with my washer when I want to use it. It is not that stylish compared to some of the newer models out there especially the other brands but it is attractive enough that it can blend in with my home decor. It could be a little more appealing but it is okay. Considering the reliability of the machine and how long I have had it coupled with the reasonable price I paid I feel that this is a good value for what I spent.

I purchased a Kenmore washer at 6pm on 8/11/11, took it home and did not work. I called back to the store and I was told to get online and troubleshoot. I could not get a service tech as the purchase was new; not in the system yet. I called repair tech on 8/12 but could not get an appointment until the afternoon of 8/15. The store manager is not available until 1:00 on 8/12. At 2:47 no call was received from the manager. I called executive office and said they were sending a tech this evening. I purchased tires (4) from Sears; truck shook bad. I was told to take it to Dobbs and if they said the tires were bad that Sears would replace them.
