Series 700 top loading washer - Ive never been more disappointed in a purchase. These claim to be efficient water saving devices but you have to do 6 times the number of loads if you want your clothes to be cleaned. I purposely put very few articles into the wash because I want them to actually come out clean and over and over again they come out dirty, as if they were simply wet down and spun around. We did have an old style, center agitator Whirlpool that did use more water but CLEANED 6 times the amount of laundry in one load! That washer cost us $75 and lasted 14 years. This new Kenmore cost $700 and has been nothing but disappointment.

Absolutely the worst customer service experience in my 66 years on this earth. Bought a new Kenmore washer which arrived damaged. Was told we had to report damage in 3 days and they would not do anything. Turned on the machine and it sounded like metal on metal grinding. Called Sears again and they sent out the repairman who says the bottom of the machine is crushed and missing a suspension rod and not worth repairing. Just trying to get service from Sears has been such a nightmare. I cannot imagine trying to get a replacement washing machine. What a goat rope this has been. I expect we will be buying a new washing machine and I guarantee you it will not be a Kenmore!!! WORST SERVICE EVER!!!

It may be a little difficult to understand what each button does when you first get it, but its really easy to learn and it is very good at what it does. Were in a family of six and it can still hold all of our lights, darks, jeans, etc. Unless your family is massive, there will definitely be enough space for your clothes. Appearance-wise its a little bland. Personally one with a more chrome-like appearance would look nicer. It was definitely a good price for how good of a washing machine it is. Im not going to say it cant be a little cheaper, but it doesnt bother me quite as much with how well it does overall.

We bought our home in Loxahatchee Florida, with great joy and began furnishing and decorating. Because of limited space, we purchased the Kenmore Stacked Laundry Center, #61532. It is just my husband and I, so we do 3-4 loads of laundry per week. Just the other day, only 1 year and 9 months from our purchase of this brand new appliance, water started showing up on our laundry room floor. We check hoses, drain pipe, etc. and all are secure. So I call Sears for service and was told that the warranty is only for one year, so I would have to pay for repairs. Okay, how bad could it be??? Well, the technician came out and took one look at it and after hearing what we said was wrong, said oh, yea, this happens to these all the time, apparently Sears is peddling this appliance that has a transmission problem. And, worse, after spending $1,200 on the initial purchase, this would be $900 to fix!!! How shameful that Sears, a company that my mom worked for for 20+ years and my parents swore by the Kenmore brand is putting out a product that they KNOW is faulty and has not performed properly for any consumer. They wont credit us, they wont take it back, we are stuck with this monstrosity. We are tired of this kind of wanton callous concern for the end user. How is there not a recall on this item???

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

Put load in, it ran for about a minute, made some noise, rattling and banging. Then blows a fuse. Any ideas as to what the issue could be would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Washer twisted clothes almost from the beginning. After a period of time washer would be unbalanced. Replaced the suspension rods and found out there was a recall for that problem.

This washer has had the control panel replaced and has been leaking for three months. It started making weird noises this week and is pouring water. Repairman said it is a default causing the tube to be worn and a hole in the tube. He has seen several of these but Sears refused to repair. Sears repair hung up on me three times.

Uses less water than my old top-loader but cleans better. Front loader is convenient, easier to load and unload. I can wash my knits without worrying about damaging them. I havent had any issues with reliability. Cleans as well today as when I bought it. No leaks, no shuddering, no problems. It cleans all of my laundry -- from heavier fabrics to delicate knits -- without damage. Holds a lot in each load, so I can do comforters or towels without worrying that they wont get clean. Basic white, clean lines. Easy to read digital controls. Fits in with any laundry room or kitchen. Top, front, and sides are easy to keep clean. Washer is reasonably priced, works very well. Although it doesnt have some of the more gimmicky features, it does the wash efficiently, fairly quietly, and handles various types of laundry well.

It was a front loading Kenmore washer bought from Sears. It started making a noise on the spin cycle and then something snapped inside and it would not do the final spin at all. No support from sears, no support from kenmore. They would not even bother to return our calls. We had to buy a new machine and throw away the old one. Please stop buying products from these two companies as both their product quality and after sales service are extremely poor. At this rate they will soon be joining other out of business companies of yesterday.

It runs very well and cleans the clothes the way they should be cleaned. Its quiet and doesnt make a lot of noise while in spin mode. This is a well paid for unit. Its big and wide enough to fit all my clothes in it and do a great job of washing them completely. You cant go wrong with a washer like that. The appearance of my Kenmore washer is something I enjoy looking at and am glad that I bought it also for the good appearance of what it represents. I am enjoying the value of my washer and all it does. I feel I got a great deal when I bought it and would enjoy doing it again if I have to.

Washer does not rinse clothes completely. Takes 2 cycles to get the clothes completely rinsed and the soap out. Have adjusted the amount of soap used with the same results. Very disappointed with the Kenmore line.

We bought this front loading washer because my wife and I had always wanted one but never had the chance to buy one. Kenmore was highly rated by Consumer Reports. We purchased it and I must say it is the worst product I have ever bought. It constantly makes a mess on the floor and I cant even rub its nose in it. It overflows when on normal cycle. It does seem to work on bulk cycle but it gets musty and is impossible to get the smell out of it. I would never recommend a Kenmore product and will NEVER buy one or go in a Sears store again. We paid a premium price for it and I cant wait for it to break down so we can justify getting another washer from another company.

This Kenmore front loader really does an OK job, but it seems to hold water in the rubber rings on the door and even after cleaning and always leaving the door open when not in use it gives off an odor. Would not purchase it again.

My washer tears small holes in my clothes. They dont appear to get caught or wrapped on anything so I dont know why it is happening. It doesnt happen all the time and I have only been able to find one other complaint on the internet like mine.

It washes the clothes really well and is very quiet. However you cant add anything once it starts which can be inconvenient at times. I seem to always find a stray towel. The Kenmore washer is very durable. I have not had any problems with it performance wise since I bought it. Everything looks like it was made very solid and built to last. The Kenmore washer has a very modern and trendy look. I really like the glass front door. It is especially nice if your home is like mine and you dont have a traditional laundry room. It was a bit pricier than some of the other models I was looking at but overall for the features and look I think it was a very good deal.

Purchased this POS only 15 months ago. Now the washer is rusted out and different parts are worn from the use. How often do you use a washer?? There is no reason that this 700 series Kenmore washer should be worn out this early. I hope this company goes out of business.

Generally positive. Reliable and intuitive interface which makes it easy to use. Most importantly gets my clothes clean. Seems energy efficient. But it could be quieter though.

First experience at the newest kind of front load washer. Couldnt believe it was so quiet. However, it took me a while to accept the fact that I saw no water or sloshing in the window of the machine. Somehow it gets the clothes clean but it is still magic as to how.

The washing machine is good but it has features that are not really used and it would be easier if there were fewer options, for example, like the Deep Wash and the Heavy Duty could probably be merged into one if they are used for the same purpose.

We switched from a front loader to top load, because we continued to have odors coming from our front load washer that we could not get rid of. We chose the top load with agitator, since we wanted to get back to the type of washing machine we have previously had, and liked. The water level on this machine is very low, even when choosing the high fill option, thus the agitator is nearly worthless, and the clothes do not get clean. To top it all off, we still have a musty odor coming from our washer, even when we leave the top door open. We are not at all happy with our purchase of the Kenmore 600S, 20372 washing machine.

This washer cleans clothes very effectively, and the cycles take a reasonable time. Best results with stain remover, though. It doesnt have as many settings and options as more deluxe washers, but who needs them? While I wish I had sprung for a larger model, this washer always did the trick. It hasnt broken on me yet, and clothes have always come out clean in the first try. They are not too wet when the cycle ends, either. Simple, white, top-loading design. Clear and simple controls. Not fancy-looking or stylish. No viewing window in the front/door. I was content with its appearance. Uses a reasonable amount of water, so it wont jack up your water bill. All in all, a great value.

Kenmore Connect Washer. Ive owned this new washer for just over 6 months and have had 3 service calls to get it fixed; including complete replacement of the computer chips. And it died again today! BEWARE!! After 17 service visits, Im told I can get my money back... 14 to go! Thanks Sears/Kenmore!!!

Have had this machine longer than I have ever owned one and I do 3 or more loads a day. Prior to this one I had 2 others and they went in a matter of 6 years. It is important to buy quality appliances.

I purchased a Kenmore Washer few months ago which is preforming well so far. So far I am very happy with the washer and the brand. I would suggest others to buy the washer.

A lightning damaged the wires of Laundry Center Kenmore 1YU1000 purchased in September 2009. Technician no. ** repaired the wires on August 16 and charged $408.64.After one week waiting for the parts, the washer was used immediately and it did not complete the cycle and left the laundry soaked in water. A second technician came today and said that the water pump and a belt were defective and to replace them, we would be charged $184.91. I ask you, is this appropriate for a barely two-year-old appliance? Never again will I buy anything else from Sears.

Kenmore brand was very pleasing and the quality was great. It lived up to it standards and I was very happy with the choice I made with choosing their product. I needed a washer and drying for my apartment I was moving into so I decided to look at some in Sears. Not only did they have a wide selection but the prices were decent and customer service was excellent. So I had a wonderful experience all the way around when I decided that I needed to purchase these two appliances.

During the time we used this washer, I was completely happy with its performance. It got my clothes clean and I had no issues whatsoever. It didnt have all the bells and whistles that todays washers have, but I feel like they werent necessary. The washer was reliable and got the job done! Our old washer lasted for years. I dont remember ever having to call the repairman. I never had a minutes stress at having to find somewhere else to wash my clothes. Id put in the clothes, detergent, press the buttons and the washer did its job! The washer had a quality look to it. It was simple, without a lot of dashboard buttons, and I liked the clean, white finish and simplicity of the machine. I definitely was proud to own this washer. The Kenmore washer we owned was a great value for the purchase price. It wasnt a high end purchase, but suited to our budget, and because of the way it performed, I would not have needed to spend any extra money to get what I wanted.

Bought the Kenmore Oasis Washing Machine, 110.270 and just like thousands of others on this board, my machine started showing an F1 error code. It also started shaking the house and sounded like a rocket taking off during the spin cycle. Just google Whirlpool bearing or Kenmore bearing and youll see many more issues just like mine. Turns out, Kenmore/Sears is doing a quiet recall of the control board. Theyll send a tech out to replace your control board. This procedure takes no more than 15 minutes to complete and the average homeowner could do it themselves in minutes. HOWEVER...What is not under quiet recall is the loud and unbearable rocket sound during the spin cycle. That fix will require that your bearings be replaced on your unit. Is the bearing failure caused by the bad control board? Im not an engineer so I dont know but if I read the 1000s of posts, you rarely see one without the other. So this is where the story gets interesting. According to Sears, Whirlpool offers a 10-year warranty on the Whirlpool tub of the washing machine. The Whirlpool tub hereto now includes the bearings and shaft. Well, guess what? Whirlpool started fielding so many complaints that they made a kit (separate from the tub) that allows technicians to replace the bearings separate from the tub. Guess what? That bearing kit is not covered by the 10-year warranty because its now considered separate from the tub. It will now cost the homeowner $160-180 for the bearing kit and approximately $150-$200 for the service. That equates to roughly $350++ to repair a part that is clearly a manufacturer defect. This defect is so popular that appliance shops have created videos on how to fix the machine yourself. There are many posts about the poor quality of the Whirlpool Cabrio and Kenmore Oasis washing machines - related to the bearing failure and the control board issues. I have lost complete confidence in both of these brands for how they have handled the issue. I will do my best to never purchase either brand in the future.

The Kenmore washer took a giant dump. It ruined my stuff in the garage after leaking all the time. Repairman was reaching for straws and never fixed the leak.The washer was 7 yrs old. Now the Kenmore Dryer isnt drying completely. Have to use Heavy duty extra time because home warranty (rip off) refuses to fix Kenmore machines. The washer was replaced 3 mos ago. We bought Maytag. Love it. Theyre pretty reliable from past experiences... With the possibility of my beloved Sears going out of business Im steering away from Kenmore. That make me sad.

Im just happy with my washer and dyer. It was a great help after I had my twins with the many loads of washing I need to get done for my family. All our clothes keep clean. The machine is nice and quiet as so not to wake the babies.

The performance of the washer is really good. You will love how fast and easy it is to use. Probably the first time you will struggle with the bottoms but then you will love it. The reliability of the product makes you want to buy it, because give the consumer the security that is a really good product to acquire. It is really nice. It has an appearance different than the other brands. It is a modern style but can fit any house or apartment so probably you will like it at the first view. There are many washer that you can view on internet or at stores, but if you are looking for something cheap and with a good value for the price, this is the washer you are looking for.

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!

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.

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

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.

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

The product washes the clothes well and doesnt leave them soaking wet. It leaves my clothes fresh! It separates my clothing pieces and doesnt bunch them up together. I can put multiple pieces or items in the washer without any issues. I can put on heavy load and still get a reliable wash. The washer is very reliable. Ive had it for some time. It works like its brand new! And The appearance is simple and chic. It has a nice front which is attractive for a washer. The washer is a front load so I can see all of what is going on while the clothes are washing. This is definitely worth the value. It is more durable than any other wash I have bought in my previous years.

Kenmore 41761723510 - This machine is the most unreliable machine I have ever witnessed, locks the clothes in, cant get them out. You can never know what cycle it is in... if any. Clothes stink. Just keep pushing the button and hope something happens? Now agitates for about 10 seconds shuts down... thats all cross fingers. Maybe get lucky. I will never get another Kenmore in my life. My last one was the same basic model, 15 years no problem... What on earth are these making these days and please tell me there is a class action suit on these pieces of garbage.

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.

The performance was fine. I never had any problems with the washer and I thought it did a fine job. We never had to have it serviced. We finally sold it when we moved, but overall it was a good washer. The washer was reliable. We had no issues with it for the 6 years we had it. No service was ever necessary. It was a little bit loud at the end but it still worked great. No complaints about the reliability of the washer. It was a very standard washer. It was not flashy or amazing to look at, but it got the job done. The washer was white with no other colors. Pretty bland but again do you really need a washer to look extremely fancy?? I dont think so. Since the washer was so reliable and lasted so long, I feel like I got my moneys worth. I dont know how it compares to other washers but I think it was worth the money I paid. Definitely went through a lot of laundry!

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?

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

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!

The water of my washer will not drain plus it has all kinds of error codes. I had to pay $129.00 for a repairman to take the bottom section below the door and unscrew a 3 round end off and clean out a trap that if in the book, I could have done myself. This should be included in the care of the washers to be checked once a year. This is just another way for them to take advantage of the consumer. I posted on FB to get the word out and to save everyone some hard earn money.

The washer is easy to work, gets clothes clean, is reliable and has lasted a long time. It was a great price and has given no problems. It works every time. Never gives any problems of any kind. It is very plain to look at but it gets the job done. It offers all the cycles I want or need. Well its value is that it was inexpensive enough so I could buy it. I have a washer at my home so I dont have to go anywhere to get the wash done...which is a hassle. It works great and gets the job done.

It works very well and has many different settings I like. The clothes come out perfectly clean and the time is a good enough amount without being too much. Its been very reliable and I have it quite a while now. I love Kenmore products. They can get he job done without being over expensive. The warranty is good also and customer service is the best. Its solid white with only a few knobs so it isnt confusing how to use it. It loads on top and uses more water, but thats the kind I like not one with a tiny bit of water. It is a great value for the unit and I would have thought it to be more considering all it can do. It has several levels for water and different cycles.

Excellent washing machine. Many features with plenty of cycles. Had it for 11 years and have has no trouble. Never been serviced. Its an e machine which saves water and power. If it broke down today, I would buy another.

I am very happy with my Kenmore washer. The top loader is an important feature in a washer, because the clothes get much cleaner with the use of an agitator. I have never had any issues (knock on wood) with my Kenmore washer. The clothing is always clean the first time through, and never any issues with the water levels. This is not the fanciest, or prettiest of washing machines... But what do you expect. It is one of the more basic models, and is very simple looking. That being said, the lack of extra knobs makes it very easy to clean. The Kenmore washer was the cheapest washer we looked at. We almost didnt get it for that reason alone. But it works great, and friends who have more expensive one have had to replace theirs and we havent. More money doesnt mean a better product.

I am completely dissatisfied with the Kenmore Washer I purchased in September 2013. It tangles and twists my clothes even on the delicate cycle. It does not clean our clothes well at all. I have to wash our underwear twice. I have to constantly reset it to wash our towels and bedding. I have also noticed rust around the edges of my bleach fill. The softener does not empty correctly. I have called sears for help many times since we have the Kenmore connect. They can never seem to help me. Many of the reps dont even know what Kenmore connect is. We keep getting error code LE. I was told this error means something is wrong with my motor. I hope not since we have only had it for 3 years. The dry is loud. It didnt start that way. I have no positive comments. This machine cost a lot. I had a Maytag prior to this machine that worked wonderfully for 12 years.

This washer always stops after wash instead of going through the entire wash, rinse, spin cycle. Most of the clothes arent even wet after the wash part of the cycle, let alone clean. Worst washer EVER!

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.

I contacted Sears repair and set up an appointment to have my Kenmore washing machine repaired. I took time off from work and waited all day for them. No show. I was mad, but rescheduled. Second appointment, they came and I was thrilled. I was told that I needed an expensive part and paid $360.67 for the repair. As soon as the repairman left, I started my washing machine to find that it was still broken! I immediately contacted repair and was told that someone would come out that weekend (it was a Friday). Guess what... no one came! I then scheduled one last appointment, guess what... no one came again! I am now done with taking time off work and waiting for repair. I have started a billing dispute and want my money back. Sears says I can schedule another appointment and they will come and take their part out. Uh... then I want my old part back! The part they took out was not broken... something else is! This is ridiculous and Sears needs to refund us for the part/appointment and compensate us for all of the time we have missed off work and all of this time without a washing machine. We have been long time Sears customers and Sears credit customers, this is how they treat their customers.

Works well. Drawback is the rinse cycle doesnt always rinse well and multiple rinse cycles may be needed. Easy to use. Settings are clear. Washer has been reliable. Have used it regularly for a few years now and have had no problems at all with it. The appearance of this appliance is good. Standard white front loading washer. Glass door so you can watch it wash your delicates. I am satisfied with the value of the washer I have. It does what it is supposed to and I have not had any mechanical problems with the Kenmore washer. Worth the money for that reliability.

It is a great, long lasting, and dependable machine from Kenmore and I would buy another in a heartbeat. I would highly recommend this product. It is really reliable. I have had no issues at all. I would recommend the product to anyone that needs a washer. It is a great looking appliance and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great washing machine. I look forward to the opportunity to own another one in the near future. It is a great value. It is a great machine for a really low price. I love my Kenmore washer.

The washer does the job well and gets clothes clean but I wish that I had a larger washer. I have a large family and the load size is fairly large most of the time, so I very frequently have to do multiple loads of laundry to get all of it done. But other than the size of the washer capacity, I am very pleased with it. It is just the ordinary plain, white washer. Nothing in particular that is fancy or special about it. It also is in a laundry room, so it isnt out in the open where it is always seen by others. But for the job it does, it was a great bargain and has been well worth the money that was spent for it. It was a very reasonable price because I chose just a basic model.

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.

Never had a problem and cleans great. Mechanical it is a very well built machine. My clothes cleaner now than when I had a different machine. This machine is so well built. It may be the last one I ever own. We have never even had the slightest glitch. We wash almost everyday. The machine has easy to see and use buttons answer settings. The panel puts everything right at your fingertips. All in all its a real clean look. It has saved us money in both cost of water used, amount of detergent used and electric costs. For my money its a great buy. I would recommend it to anyone.

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.

I have a family with three kids. That means a lot of clothes to wash each week. Love the load sizes, helps me get away with doing less loads. Clothes get washed great, then come out smelling fresh and clean. My washer reliability has been good so far. The different cycles mean I dont have to worry about ruining my delicates, yet know I can trust my washer to deep clean all my husbands work pants. Its a simple appearance. Not hard to keep the outside clean. I usually wipe everything down 1-2 times a week, just to keep everything nice and clean. In my opinion this washer has been a good value. This is a trusted company for my family and I do believe you get what you pay for when it comes to major appliances.

This Dishwasher is the best we have used since we were married. It’s cleans perfect, we’ve had it for at least 10 years maybe longer. We have only had to call service once. Overall we love this Dishwasher and would purchase another to replace this one.

The clothes are washed well and the time isnt too long. It isnt too loud. Theres a lot of space for clothes. The machine is reliable and it washes clothes thoroughly. The sound is loud and clear. The washings leave the clothes damp enough to make the dry cycle quick. The appearance is clean and sleek. Its white but the color makes it look clean. It has a grey stripe and the white makes it get dirty easily. The value of it is satisfying and didnt cost much. It is worth the quality of the machine.

The washer performs wonderfully, without having any kinds of malfunctions or leakage problems. It gets my clothes and towels clean in a short amount of time and is very quiet when it is doing its cycle. This washer is very reliable as far as being big enough to fit all of my needed items and the time it takes to thoroughly clean all of my clothes. It does everything that I need it to do in a short amount of time. The washer has a very beautiful appearance. It is very sleek and modern in its design, making it have a very nice appearance. The design is very clean looking and looks well in my modern house. This washer has a very good value for what I paid for it. Ive definitely gotten my moneys worth out of this washer. It works very efficiently and is the best washer Ive ever had.

The Kenmore washer has the old school, classy, traditional look that is durable and lasting to meet the expectations of the current and more modern trends in the market. It is a high quality appliance worth every bang for your buck for its affordability and convenience of a high performance clothing washer to take care of household laundry. It washes clothes effectively and rinses clothes properly with no issues, leaving the clothes clean and detergent free so no need to worry about your dirty loads and any unpleasant scent.

Good appliance, easy to manage and very fast. Made me like doing my laundry, especially because Im a student and I really needed a good washing machine to get away from having to use laundromat. If youre thinking about buying one, just do it, it works! Very reliable, never had a problem with this machine. Super great washer, definitely one you can count on. As a college student I could not ask for a better washing machine when I come home to do my laundry.

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.

My Kenmore washer is a creamy white color like most washers and it is not super fancy looking but it is nice. Some minor issues and fails but its a good washer and worth the money you pay. We have had to get it fixed at least once since the water was not coming out hardly at all and the calcium deposits had built up as well. And sometimes the clothes do come out a bit soaked still so I guess it just does not spin right sometimes. But other than that it seems to work fine. It still does what it is supposed to and washes clothes fine.

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?

Gets extremely dirty clothes clean in one wash. Low energy so my utility bills arent high. Great look, and easy to use buttons. Not extremely loud like my previous washer. Definitely big enough to fit all my standard washes. Sometimes my king size comforter can feel like a tight squeeze and the wash isnt the absolute best but it definitely works. Definitely looks great. People always notice it when they see my laundry room. Definitely a nice looking unit not a dated look of some washers. For the cost with the energy costs, its look, and how good the washes are this washer is definitely worth the buy. For its price its hard to beat the combination of looks and features.

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

I called about my Kenmore Elite HE5t Steam Washer. It keeps going into a SUD, then within a few minutes it goes into an F35 error. I talked with Sears and they told me the only thing they could do is send a repairman to my house to look at it. The cost is $129 plus the part. The part is a water level switch, it costs $85 dollars. It was on back order at the time I looked it up and I will have to wait one week for the part. When it came in, they then told me to call Whirpool. I did, they reconnected me to Sears. It was no surprise since it is an ongoing problem with this model and I have seen it on a few websites already, including this one. They need to recall this product.

This is my second Kenmore washer. The first one I had for 18 years and gave it away, still running well. This new washer I have had now for 7 years, with 2 moves and a family of 6, it’s still running almost like new.

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

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

It had a capacity to handle the load of clothes, which was usually large to very large. The clothes were cleaned including any stains that were spot treated prior to the wash. There was a fresh smell to the clean clothes. I knew when I went to use the appliance it would work properly for clean clothes every time. I would load a large amount of clothes with no wobble or noise during the cycle. The appearance was a pleasant bright white. The outside was smooth and chip resistant. The dials were labeled for easy identification of the cycles, temperature, and capacity. The print remained on the surface with no fading or peeling. The price was appropriate for the performance of the appliance. The load capacity and features were equal to the price paid. Although mine was a gift, I knew the price was good for the quality of the Kenmore name.

I do not like my washing machine. When it is finished washing there is one pieces of clothing that literally covers all the clothes and appears to tuck all the clothes in under it. Sometimes the piece on top is not totally wet and I wonder if it even got washed. Then I wonder if the ones under it got washed because they are so neatly tucked in. It looks like a loaf of bread waiting to rise in a bowl. I have been careful the way I load it, but it still comes out wrapped up, especially when I do sheets. The bottom sheet always wraps everything. I also have a problem with the dark load coming out with white spots. I use the All pods and have to cut the pod and put the detergent in the dispenser. And... the softener never completely empties.

I have had this Kenmore Elite Oasis washer for 5 years and have never had one load of clothes come out clean. To even get somewhat clean, I have to use the heavy duty setting, plus pre-soak and extra rinse. It seems like there just is not enough water used, and not enough agitation. Sheets and large items roll up into a ball. Everything wrinkles excessively. I would trade this for an old, plain washer with a real agitator without hesitation. I have never really disliked a washer before, but I hate this one.

The washer always did good. It was fast, efficient, and never broke down. The washer itself never got moldy or smelly and I love the options to wash. This washer could fit a pretty large load of clothes or a few quilts. It never got hung up and washed with ease. I could also easily wash more than one pillow. Its a basic washer appearance. It doesnt look as high tech as some washers out these days, but its still very nice and has enough nice features to get done what you need. It wasnt highly expensive and has lasted for a long time and still going. The knobs are all in working order. The doors are in working order.

I bought a front loading Kenmore model 40412 in Sept 2010 for $736. This is March 2012. Spin cycle makes noise as loud as an airplane and clothes come out stained with grease. Service tech just estimated over $1,100 to replace tub bearing and door seal. How does that make any sense or is justifiable? No more Sears/Kenmore for us!

Had my Kenmore Elite washer for 10 years now and it is still going strong. Have always enjoyed Kenmore appliances for reliability and endurance. Would definitely purchase Kenmore again. It has many features to meet all your washing needs. Clothes come out clean every time.

Use for 2 loads 3 times a week. Never breaks down. Always works clothes. Come out clean. Whites are white. Dark clothes clean. No soap buildup. Not a lot of noise – a quiet machine. Have experienced no problems. Works perfect first and last use. Would recommend to family and friends to purchase. Not very flashy but the controls are easy to understand and use. Fits in nicely with my basement laundry area. White and clean. Compact – does not take up a lot of space. Small but efficient. Great value for the price. Reliable. Hard working. Easy to operate. Best washer I have owned as of this time.

The appearance looks very modern and good-looking as well inside. The value of the machine had me thinking for a little bit if I should buy it. However, I did, and it went out much better than expected. If you are deciding to buy this, you might as well. Not going to lie, I had some doubts about using this. But, I am very happy I spent my money on this washer as it helped a lot when it came to dirty or stained clothing. It was usually very good. Very well money spent indeed. I hope I shall continue using it as it is very important for cleaning my clothing.

Worked fine for years until the clothes started getting stuck in the rotating drum and ripped and stained the clothes. It worked good and we gave it away because we wanted a more modern unit. It was a simple control system, not fancy or high tech, Just had like 4 settings and was easy to use. It was just plain white in color and a standard appearance. It was a really good value for all the years we had it. It only need one or two minor repairs for a broken belt and something else. Otherwise the money spent on it gave me good value for the dollar.

We purchased in Apr. 2013. Would not get item clean. Would not even get all items wet. Called for service. Waited 3 weeks to get a tech to the house. Sears shipped wrong control board. Tech put shipped board in washer. He said it would work until they sent the correct control board. Waited 2 months, no new board. Called Sears and they stated, The board was still on back order and did not know when it would be available. I asked for a replacement. Replacement was delivered. Machine did the same thing as the first machine. Call back and asked for a replacement with a different model. Replacement was $1500.00 cheaper than the original set. (Oh, btw it is now Oct. 2013) Sears will not refund us the difference. The problem was with your product. Shame on you Sears!!!!! I will never purchase from Sears again.

Please, DO NOT buy this washer no matter how cheap in price you find it. It continues to add minutes to the wash where it takes 1 1/2-2 1/2 hours PER wash. Clothes comes out with white streaks that look like powder detergent is stuck on them when I use only liquid detergent. Water saver means not enough water to cover the clothes. The deep fill option is only available at some settings as for bulk loads. Even using this setting some clothes come out dry. I will never purchase a machine water saver or without an agitator because the clothes don’t circulate. This is a piece of 800.00 junk. I would love to throw it out and buy a simple washer that works faster and gets clothes clean. Please, do not buy it or you too will be writing a negative review and be angry at yourself for thinking those other negative reviews were maybe customers not using the machine properly and maybe adding too much detergent. When in reality the machine is a piece of crap.

The Sears elite washer rusted out totally where bleach dispenser is.

Older style top loader with agitator seems to hold up much longer and gets the job done well. Knowing clothes are clean the first time is more important than a high-efficiency machine that might not use enough water to actually get clothes clean without a second time. Smaller than most washers probably, but still able to get a large load of clothing or towels completely clean without seeming like it takes extra loads to get all the work done. Plain white with nothing too fancy or extra about it. Very simple and easy to operate, straightforward in appearance. Has knobs for everything, nothing with a touch button. Bought this almost 7.5 years ago for a great deal and have yet to have any problems with this machine. Cleaning the inside and flushing out the fabric softener dispenser is about all the maintenance thats been needed.

I bought the Sears Kenmore Elite top-loading, high-efficiency washing machine (manufactured by LG) in May 2011 for close to $1,000. At first, it was fine. A few weeks ago (January 2013), it started overflowing every time it fills. I watched the numbers on the control board go wonky instead of counting down the minutes sequentially. It overflows on the wash cycle, wont drain unless I stop the cycle, and manually select drain/spin, then it drains perfectly. I recognize a wacky computer when I see one, so I unplugged it thinking it might reset itself. Problem keeps happening. I researched it on the internet and saw that there is defective casing material used in the manufacture and the motherboard gets wet!I called Sears expecting the company I knew from all these years to be there. But all I get is cryptic, non-answers to direct questions and pressure to purchase a service agreement. Ive been unemployed for a few months and I dont have $230 to put into a $1,000 machine that I just bought! Oh, and by the way, if the repair costs more than $500, your service agreement doesnt cover the additional cost. You get to take care of that out of your own pocket. I wanted Sears to come fix the problem caused by faulty manufacture or at least give me a straight answer about what the likely cause of the problem is and how much it would take to fix it. It doesnt matter who it is, whoever youre talking to doesnt have the information you need. You get transferred or disconnected. Whoever youre transferred to doesnt have the information you need either and cant imagine why the first person transferred you to them. I dont believe a corporation would permit such incompetence if it didnt pay off.So I did some more research and found out on Consumer Reports that my unit was covered by a recall. I called Sears back and asked them, Why are you trying to sell me a service agreement for a unit that is covered by a recall? explaining again how the machine was flooding my laundry room. They said, Oh, thats totally unacceptable, says the agent. Let me transfer you to the Product Resolution department. The Product Resolution guy puts me on hold to look into it for several minutes. (If I ever hear a Sears customer service person say theyre going to look into it again, Ill start getting suspicious!) The Product Resolution guy says Yes, you are under recall. Well set up a recall appointment for the same time you had the service call, and well cancel your service agreement and refund your money within 4 days. (This is less than an hour after I had caved on the service agreement upsell.)Mind you, this appointment is 10 days in the future, the best they can do. Their technicians are very busy and they wont tell you what time of day, or give you a number to contact the technician, or any information that would empower you to have control of your day. Sometime between 8am and 5pm, so in the interim, I got a job and they would like me to start the day before this appointment. Now, I have to delay my start date so that I wont have to deal with personal business the first week of my new job. Already Sears has cost me $375 in lost wages. So, today is the day. The technician gets here to fix my washing machine under recall. It turns out that the recall is a software update that the technician says will not address the overflowing problem. I got Sears on the phone while the technician is still here, more runaround, more transferring, more looking into it, an offer of $65 off a repair call for which they wont estimate a total cost. (And I dont believe this is not the first time theyve had this conversation; a helpful person would say something like, at worst its this, at best its that.) Finally, I talked to a supervisor, went through the whole story again, and I asked her what she would advise if I were her mother. She told me this isnt personal with me. Sears cant provide you any more services because the machine is no longer under warranty. I replied with Sears can, but it wont. Sears knows theres an issue with this machine, and its happy to have its brand associated with it when youre charging $1,000 but you dont want to stand behind it when theres a problem. A new washing machine doesnt act like this and I can see other people on the internet have had the same problem. I believe their new business model is to hold customers hostage to an outrageous initial investment on products with known defects and then gouge them for repairs. If it already costs a lot, why not pay a little more? The whole customer service process is set up to make it so painful that you just cave in. Its immoral, and if it isnt illegal, it ought to be. If theres a class action suit, I want to be part of it.

Kenmore Dishwasher machine does a great job. Comes from a well respected product line that has been around since my grandmother’s time and has never failed to perform its assigned with efficiency. This product line brings back fond recollections of the machines I used as a child. Handles reasonable loads, simple to use, load & clean. Reliable operation without an overabundance of functions that I neither use or need. Handles all the capacity I need in my day to day life with conservative use of water, soap and power. My main concern with any unit is that it easy to load, and handles the washing with as little trouble as possible. Easy to clean, with a spartan appearance that lends itself to my lifestyle and sensibilities. I especially like the clean lines and simple control features without an attempt at being overly stylish or trendy. Simplicity is my driving concern.

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.

I bought it used and had it for 2 years before it stopped drying my clothes. After about a year and a half it started taking more time to get the clothes dry. A month or so later it was not drying them hardly at all. Up until then it worked pretty good, especially for being 7 to 8 yrs old.

My Kenmore washing machine is only 17 months old and the transmission is done. Basically the machine is finished - too expensive to fix. More importantly. Sears will do absolutely nothing unless of course I want to throw a little more money at them. What has happened to product quality and caring for the customer.

This washer has had a much larger workload than I intended when I bought it 2 1/2 years ago (7 adults), and it is still as quiet and reliable as the day I hooked it up. And with all the setting levels available, it has always done an outstanding job of actually getting our construction-worker clothes clean as new. Has done an average of eleven loads a week for 2 1/2 years and still runs and cleans like new: even for the three of us construction workers, two car mechanics, and two ladies in the house. Its appearance is modern, but without looking like an airliner cockpit with all those confusing lights and controls that youll never use. After 2 1/2 years of washing for seven adults without a single breakdown, it still performs like new. I think weve already got our moneys worth out of it.

My washer has been very durable however the renewal of the warranty is not affordable. I love the washer chosen because of being old fashioned. It has the agitator inside. The control panel is also very easy and understandable.

I had it for about 5 years, it was good quality and did a good job of cleaning. It was easy to use and the buttons were not confusing. In the 5 years that I have owned it I havent had any issues. It did stink for a short while, but I cleaned it out with vinegar and lemon. It like a regular washer, nothing out of the ordinary. Easy to use and straightforward buttons and directions. The color was average for a washer. Good value, I like Kenmore. It is a little more expensive but maintains its quality. I would buy it again. The price is good for the washer.

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

I have owned some Kenmore washing machines and they are generally pretty good. I have had some trouble on rare occasions over repairs, the service center was reluctant to fix it. Once when I was having trouble, I had to take in my paperwork and practically force them to fix it. They did wind up fixing it, but it was a hassle.

The washer was very nice while it lasted. But then once it stopped working it was past the fixing it point. I dont think I would recommend it after all is said and done. Dissatisfied with the reliability. It was a very pretty washer. It was nice and sleek and clean looking inside and out. Very satisfied with the appearance of all things. Looked great with other appliances in my home. I am a little dissatisfied because the washer didnt last long. It stopped working and would have cost an arm and a leg to fix. Was not worth the money I spent on it.

I am convinced that Kenmore service reps are trained to deny any problem with this washer, as well as the reps that handle setting up service calls. My machine (11066132*410) has, since the first dark load, left clothes covered in a white/gray residue that must also be covering light clothes just that it isnt as apparent. We have followed several different suggested procedures to try and clean the tub, but nothing has worked. We have encountered nothing but indifference and rudeness... Finally it was claimed that we had been responsible. Puleeeze... Stay away from Kenmore.

Kenmore 3.8 cu. ft. Top-Load High-Efficiency Washer - This washer is a piece of junk! 2 months after the warranty expires, the washers starts malfunctioning. When it completes a load of wash and the complete light is on and the lid is unlocked, it takes about 3 minutes before it jumps back to the sensing light and tries to start washing a new load all by itself! It seems to wash clothes and spin out fine. But if youre not paying attention its going to wash your clothes all over again! I will never ever buy a Kenmore washer again. Their quality and dependability has become non-existent.
