Where I pour in the bleach and under the top lip of washing machine is rusting! I run my washer through cleaning cycling but these areas are bad and I feel like it should not be doing this, especially so soon! I would figure they would make it more adaptable for the bleach area! We bought our washer from Sears in Statesboro, GA!

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.

I bought an $800 High Efficiency, 4.8 cf capacity washer (Paid $569.00 on sale and it some of the worst money spent) to wash the blankets I make. The machine rolls them into mushrooms and dumps any dirt, hair, etc. on top in a ring. Uses so little water that even on deep fill the clothes are NEVER covered with water. Socks come out looking like they were just worn. I have to spray all socks or they dont get even partly clean. Wont get sweat out unless you use an additive and if you use more than 1/8th cup of detergent, the machine will run for hours. The only way to get water to cover the clothes is to add it. I have to pour three gallons of water in if I want clean clothes. Sears repairman said many of his customers keep a bucket by the machine to add water. There is no deep fill for permanent press or half the other cycles so permanent press is never really clean. DONT ever use bleach as it stays in the washer and ruins the following loads. You cant re-spin if it doesnt get the clothes dry enough, without using a rinse cycle.Quite an experience if it goes out of balance. Getting it to stop spinning means stopping the machine, waiting for the door to unlock and dodging the machine as it takes time to respond. By the way, unless you buy a service contract, if Sears decides its working properly, you have to pay per the Department head at the Sears I bought the machine from. Avoid at all costs. Keep the old one running until you cant buy parts.

Washer is easy to use. Reliable, money saving and works everytime. I would strongly recommend getting and using Kenmore clothes washer for your home use every day. This is quiet and saves money time and energy.

I feel the performance is great. As with all appliances they can break down but not very often but I still will get this product because its still very good. Its size is good for putting it in the washer pretty much anywhere in the house. I have mine in the basement and it works out well. Appearance is fine. I have no complaints. It gets what it has to do done so I would recommend this to anyone who wants one of these. In fact you can find a lot of models online. Great value for the money and I would recommend this to anyone who wants one of these.

Works every time, never fails. Clothes sparkle and machine is sturdy and never needs repair. Fits perfect in laundry room. Easy to operate and unload clothes and color of appliance suits to a T.

I bought a new Kenmore washer 7/2011. It will not rinse in the normal and heavy duty cycles but rinses normally in the casual cycle. The repairman was prompt and knowledgeable – no complaints there but he told me that was what the washing machine was programmed to do. So, I am only able to wash laundry on the casual cycle in this new machine. Someone, please explain that to me! I will never buy another one from Sears!

My first washing machine was a Kenmore that we got used from a neighbor. It worked forever and was super reliable, and always cleaned our clothes well. Quality, trustworthy and reliable. Never had any issues with it. We used it for over 5 yrs and then sold it when we moved.

I purchased a Kenmore 600 topload washer in 12/09. I was satisfied with its performance, but it only lasted 2 years. The springs became weak, and when the spin cycle ended, it banged, and cracked the outer tub. Repairs will cost almost as much as buying a new one. I spent considerable time researching consumer reviews and wanting an American-made product, and spent considerable money thinking the investment would last several years. It is sad that even American-made products are built to last until just after the warranty expires. The repairman didnt think these parts are even covered in the warranty. I cant afford another washer, and when I do, it wont be a Kenmore.

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.

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 performance is very outstanding. I love the time that it takes to clean. It is very acceptable and I have high remarks about it. I would recommend it to any looking for a washer. Id recommend it because it is also reliable when it comes to time being on your hands. This washer will satisfy all of your needs and thats a guarantee. I love the reliability of this product. The appearance itself made me want to purchase and use the Kenmore washer. I saw in browsing through the Internet and I decided to try it out myself. Much better than the average. The value of this washer machine is outstanding. Words cant explain the worth of this product and its usefulness. I would recommend this to anyone from my family group.

Purchased $779 Kenmore Elite Washer model #29272000 in April 2011. In April 2013 sent a letter directly to Sears to complain about the rust all around the bleach dispenser. Did not receive any response. Now, a year later, the rust is far worse. I know from reading online comments, this has been a problem for years and Sears didnt figure out how to stop it and continued to sell this faulty product. The problems with this machine do not end with the rust. We suffer daily with the brutal wash cycle that ruins clothes, does not wash jeans and blankets without the UE error requiring constant adjustment to get the loads done, and bleach residue dispensing when you dont want it to so darks are spotted with white spots.It is bothersome that this expensive appliance is such a sad example of Kenmore and the fact that even though they knew it was a mess, it still was sold for years without correcting any of the problems. I was a faithful Sears consumer and yet now have no interest in a future dealing with them. I want a washer that doesnt harm my clothes AND isnt rusting after only a few years.

I purchased the Kenmore Washer 100 series 4 month ago and I simply hate it. It has a supposed sensor for the water level and this is useless. It works for a very small load but even when the washer is only half full it does not add enough water. Yesterday I washed a bed spread that filled the washer about 3/4 and only the bottom of the spread was covered in water. I had to add 3 buckets of water to submerge the spread. Then when it rinses the lid locks therefore no chance to add water. Why should I be adding water anyway? In the past I have always bought Kenmore appliances. I will no longer.

Started getting PF error. Wife called for support. No one could provide support nor did they want to. Said it was against policy to provide troubleshooting, but they would be happy to set up an appointment for around $129. The washer only has a 1 yr warranty. Anything that you pay more than $500 for should cover parts for at least 3yrs. The staff at Sears stated, you should have got the extended warranty babe, nothing is made like it used to and your lucky if it last 3 yrs. I was able to reset and get it going for a few days but it has stopped working again. Believe there is an issue with the control panel.

Both worked very well for the first few years but the washer had problems toward the end in getting drained all the way. Had to replace some parts. Units worked good til the end and then they became so unreliable and slow that we ended up replacing them both and are happier now. Dont know why or how but they went bad. Appearance was fine. Dont expect that there is a whole lot of room there to change color and style is changing every day so stay informed and Im so sure you got it. Never got my moneys worth out of any washer. Dryers usually last but these seemed to run faster, harder and wear out quickly. I dont think I will buy again.

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.

Belt broke after years of use. Cheap part. Easy to use. Smells if not cleaned right. Good performance overall. Extremely heavy. Took 3 men and a dolly to move. I can wash a full size blanket easily in this washer. Several soaps to pick from. Must be HE compatible. Has a timer. Comes in handy. Had this a few years and the only issues were the belt broke and its heavy to move. Has a compact storage shelf on the bottom. Mine is white and silver. Easy to clean surface. Quiet. Was a rent to own purchase for our family. A little pricey but you get what you pay for.

Sears installed new washing machine in August and Sears installer messed up the connection so we had a huge leak (out of plain sight) and lost thousands of gallons of water in California (where we have a drought and are supposed to conserve water). We had over $1000 extra on the water bill and called the specialist from DWP who had discovered this tremendous leak. I called Sears on the 4th of Jan. and they gave me emergency appointments on the 10th while I have a fountain of water gushing out. Sears rep advised not to touch (or fix) it before their technician gets here. Also, they advised me to seek reimbursement from my homeowners insurance (that does not cover damage caused by leaking plumbing) from the home warranty company (Fidelity) that does not want to deal with it either. The actual washing machine (Kenmore Elite) does not function as promised either. It fills out to the top while washing one pair of pants!. On Jan. 7th, I managed to get a Sears technician at my house. He rudely informed me that he couldnt help me as it was a plumbing issue and machine was plumbed in incorrectly (it was delivered, installed and plumbed in by Sears) and I needed to call my plumber. Until then he would not address the washers technical issues. Sears supervisor, Larry, advised me on the phone not to use an outside plumber as the adjuster from Sears, Carly, will contact me and when she sends the inspector, he will evaluate the situation.The time frame for this action is unknown. Meanwhile I am losing 100s of gallons of water in the drought state of CA and 100s of dollars as well. I also cant use the Kenmore Elite machine that costs $900 plus over $1000 in water bill due to incorrect installation by Sears and the bill keeps going up along with wasted water. I need reimbursement for expenses and a new washer properly installed (a simpler cheaper model is okay).Today, Jan. 10th, 2013, I had called the outside plumber to fix the leak as I was losing too much water and the plumber fixed the incorrect installation by Sears and stopped the leak. Sears Technician came to check out the machine, a Kenmore Elite (model #79631512210) that has water settings on Hot, Warm, Eco Warm, Cold, Top Cold. On all of these settings, the water in the machine remains cold, not due to the incorrect connection (it has been corrected by my plumber), but due to the computer board internal setting that regulates how machine would be filled. On Hot setting, it takes about 2 cups of hot water from the Hot hose and follows up with 2-3 gallons of cold water from the Cold hose. As a result, the washing water is cold on the Hot setting! Technician explained to me that in this high efficiency machine, it is normal as it is trying to save my gas-heated water. He said it runs normal and he spent about 5 minutes in my house. The machine could not be normal as it has same cold water temperature on 5 different temperature settings indicated on the panel of this Kenmore machine. I need Sears/Kenmore to change this machine to another one that works as stated on description and instructions. I have no help or response from Sears so far, despite their promise to stand by their promise of quality of product and service.

This model is my first front loader washing machine. I had heard of many problems with these but have only encountered one - if I dont religiously wipe the door inside and leave it open for a few hours, it develops a nasty sour smell. Otherwise, it does a good job of cleaning my clothes and uses a whole lot less water. I am still evaluating this machine but so far, so good.

Have found faster cycles with some other brands, but overall happy!! Kenmore is a reliable brand and great otherwise. :) I like any front load washer, but there should be a better airing out option. I usually pack clothes and towels in to my washing machines, this fits large loads and fits all of my washing needs. I would prefer for the washer to drain and dry without needing to prop the door open. Looks great and fits in any laundry room or laundry area of a home. Be sure to prop door open, detergent door as well... Will get musty otherwise. Kenmore value is always prevalent as the quality is usually very high. All parts have worked well and havent had any issue with the value of the product.

Clothes are cleaner. They take less time. They use less detergent than other washing machines. I actually look forward to washing clothes now. Economic on water use and energy efficient, quick, stable, cleans well with good array of different cycles, easy to use, load and unload. Ergonomic design fits well with normal counter heights. Durable with ability to handle recurring and high-frequency heavy loads. No maintenance or repair issues since owned. Reliable timer devices and release of additive like fabric softener.Clean lines and ergonomic design, with color choices, that integrate with laundry room design. Dials and doors are placed in convenient locations and add to look of appliance. Price was higher than some competitors model of similar in function and level in line. Cost higher than lower line machines. Reliability and durability balances cost for a good value for cost. They do cost a bit more than others but for the quality of the washer it is well worth the price. I didnt mind paying a little extra once seen how it performs.

The appearance of this appliance was just OK, but its long lasting so the value was satisfactory for the amount paid. It had multiple settings which was very nice. It functioned very well and was not loud. It solved the dirty clothes issues and it never destroyed clothing. You could also add ANY kind of cleaner to it. The machine was not complex and just needed modernization, but all in all it did the job it was supposed to do.

I bought this Kenmore high efficiency washer 4 years ago, in 2017. I noticed clothes did not get as clean as with my old washer (which took 15 years before replacement was needed). There were other conveniences that were missing; for example, there was no way just to spin wet clothes, as there were with other washers. The washer needed frequent attention to adjust off balance loads. Finally, 2 months ago (May 2021), the washer refused to turn on. A service technician came 6/10 and said we needed a new board, which he ordered. The part has been on backorder since then. My only communication with Sears/Kenmore is when I call them. Their customer service reps politely tell me that the part is still on backorder, and they will escalate my request. I still have no working washer, and a service agreement which is not being honored. My advice is to consider another brand of washer.

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.

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.

Is a great machine with lots of energy efficiency and great performance. Very happy with it. Great and trusted brand as well. Also it does not make much noise when running. It is a machine that you can rely for long term. Great performance and have the confidence that this machine will last for many years to come. Also it comes with guaranty in case it breaks. The look of the machine is outstanding. The door ion in the front which makes it easy to load with clothes for drying. It is a very modern look of the machine. The value is great if you consider all the features you get for that price and the performance and long term that you get by buying this machine.

We purchased the Kenmore water/energy efficient washer and we wash on either room temperature or warm water. Laundry most of the time come out not as expected with unclean chocolate stains as an example. Also, we were told by Kenmore that we have to run the express cycle (Very hot water) with vinegar in the detergent pocket to remove residual detergent and to improve the washer ability to clean even normal day to day stains. We are not happy with our purchase. Another aspect that made us unhappy is the annual PM included in a 5 year warranty (paid extra) that often the subcontractor is sending washer-untrained technicians to perform the PM.

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.

Does what its supposed to do. Very happy with the different settings. We use them all. Clothes come out clean. Also like set and go ability. We had this for four years and its not given us any trouble. Works every time, does what its supposed to do. We are happy with the reliability. Washes good. Sleek looking machine with up to date buttons and settings. We like the look of this machine very much. Its why we chose it. We liked the value of this washing machine very much. We shopped around and compare models and prices and landed on the Kenmore and didnt look back.

I have just spent over 4 hours trying to wash bedding. A new record. I have been told by customer service that I must choose the correct setting for my laundry, cant just use normal. OK, then I am washing bedding, so I choose bedding. I was washing 2 twin sheets and a twin quilt. For some reason, my washer likes to fill with water, spin a little, drain, spin, then fill with water again. For over 4 hours, until I wrung the bedding out and removed it, dripping from the washer. Sometimes the washer is fine, takes a long time compared to other washers I have had, but I can have a load completed in a little over an hour. But other times, it goes into this fill, drain, spin thing for quite some time. The repairman who came out the last time I called told me to unplug the washer and plug it in again, it gets confused sometimes. He couldnt find anything wrong with the washer. So is this normal? Is this the way of washers these days? Sometimes I can do a couple of loads in an evening, sometimes not. Do I choose the wrong settings? Is bedding heavy duty and not really bedding? Or is it the brand?

This was a very nice product. It held a large amount of laundry and did an excellent job cleaning. The only drawback is that it seemed to take longer than regular washers. This product is very reliable. It never seemed to have any problems or get out of line. If the clothes were out of balance it would adjust them itself. I had this product in black and silver and I loved the way it looked. It had a clear top so I could look in at the clothes at any time. It was an excellent washer. The price I paid for this product was a little steep but for the quality of this product and the overall job it does it was a very reasonable price that I paid.

It worked well at first and then the inside drum came loose from the frame. It started leaving white material all over cloths from the lining or glue that held drum in place. Water was coming out all over our floor. Was satisfied until it broke. Parts were too expensive to repair it so had to buy another washer instead and did not buy the same brand washer. I love the look and front load door. It was pretty dark, red colored, and still looked new when it broke down. Loved how easy it was to control. Not happy with the perceived value because parts were priced so high that its not worth it to fix or repair them. You are better off buying a new one.

Very happy with overall operation of the washer. Save a lot of water this type of washer. Get my clothes clean. Easy to use and operate. Price was reasonable for this type of washer. It is very reliable. Have no problems with the washer. Everything that told by me through the salesperson was correct. Save a lot of water and on the water bill. Look very much like any other HE washer but the price was reasonable. Easy to use and has a nice appearance in my laundry area. I have the white ones and easy to clean. Energy star rating so it save on electric bills. The washer does take has much water so your water bill is cheaper. You can a great amount of laundry into the washer and they are clean.

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.

I have two Kenmore he5t frontloading washers, we are a family of 6. I hate them. My clothes dont come out clean and I have small holes appearing in my clothes. Im wondering if it is not filling with enough water. Not sure where the holes are coming from. I can only find one other person that also notices these small holes in the clothes...

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.

I bought my top-loading Kenmore model 2125 in August of 2012. I always buy a pretty basic washer thinking the less gadgets to go wrong on it, the better. WRONG!! This washer has been a nightmare. It literally started malfunctioning two days after the one-year warranty expired. The problem is the computer. It senses and then goes to wash and then quits. One has to unplug it and re-start it over and over. It takes about 4 hours to do a load of laundry when this happens and it happens all too often. I was sitting next to an appliance repairman at a show and told him about my washer and he said the only good washer made today is the Speed Queen. When my Kenmore finally drives me to put a bullet through it, I will find a place that sells Speed Queens and look into them. Does anyone know anything about this washer?? Has there been a recall on the Model 2125?

I have new HE top loader and I hate it! I always bought Kenmore and my last one lasted 25 years!! This does not wash good, I have to do loads twice to get clean, I cant adjust water level or add detergent while the water is running and when I washed my sheets they didnt even get all wet!!! Give me an agitator washer that I can control any day!

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.

I purchased a Kenmore Elite HE3T washer last February 2009. After 20 months of use, there was an F35 error. I am using the HE detergent. Several attempts to clear the lines and analog water pressure sensor only provides temporary relief. The washers door ring is also a breeding ground for mold. I will purchase a new sensor from a local parts supplier.

Clothes were always thoroughly washed. It also wasnt that loud and washing time was adequate. The problem was that after 3-4 years I had trouble with it and water started to leak and my clothes would come out smelling weird. The first years the washing machine is excellent but a couple years later it starts to leak and your clothes dont come out clean. Especially in my condition, water would leak and it also stopped spinning. Luckily I knew someone who fixes them so I still use it. The appearance is okay. I really like how its white and the window is there to see if your clothes are ready. The size is okay. Its not too big or too small either. Im a little disappointed at the price it was when we got it. The reason is because it ended up needing repairs a few years later. If it would have lasted longer I wouldnt complain.

I called Sears because my washer is making holes in my clothing because the agitator does not sit flush at the bottom and the clothes get stuck and wrapped around it and it is difficult to unravel them. The strings also get entwined as well. This has been an ongoing problem since I had the machine. Noticing when I went online the Sears Elite Oasis has had ongoing problems as well as the one I just mentioned above. It is a lemon and should be replaced. They dont even sell this machine anymore. I guess thats telling me something. Sears wants to send a service man and charge me for something that clearly is a manufacturers defect. I said absolutely not. Please direct me as to how I can get them to replace or repair it without any cost to me. Thank you.

I grew up in a family that always used Kenmore appliances so my owning them is just natural. The Kenmore name carries the value. And people I talk to and with feel that Kenmore is a workhorse that makes it a good value. I have kids and animals so laundry is a daily chore. I like that I can wash jeans, towels, blankets and comforters and they come out clean and unharmed. Theres too many times I have used washers that dont always clean consistently but this is one of the best and most reliable. It is very nice looking, too. I have a laundry closet right off my kitchen and it fits in well with my other appliances when the closet doors are open. The dials are sleek looking and very easy to use.

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.

I purchased a Kenmore Top Load washer in 2010. I have hated this machine since the day I bought it. It doesnt clean the clothes if they have any kind of soil on them, I have to run them up to three times to get them clean. The machine has had issues that cost me as much as I paid for the machine to fix twice since I purchased it. It is a lemon. I will never purchase another washing machine from Kenmore again since I cannot afford to fix a machine that shouldnt break so often.

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.

My washing machine is very easy to operate and figure out. It also washes quietly and effectively. Theres not a lot of buttons so not much to figure out. My washers reliability I think is great. I rely on it completely. It holds a lot of clothes or towels at once and I even wash my king size comforter in it and I have never had any problems. The overall appearance of my washer is plain but clean. Its just white with silver buttons so nothing fancy, but easy to read the controls. The value of this washer I think overall is worth it. It washes clothes just like you need and washes quietly and quickly and extremely easy to control.

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

It works great. Its economical with its water usage. This sure is a reliable product. I have not had to contact a repairman, which would certainly be expensive. I really do enjoy and trust my washing machine. I am a very proud owner of a top loading Kenmore washing machine. I used to have a front loader, but it was very prone to growing mold and mildew. My current washing machine never lets me down. I did not have to pay a fortune and there have been no repair issues. I highly recommend.

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.

It gives a good drying! It doesnt take really long to finish a load. It is energy efficient and doesnt make noises loudly. Kenmore is a brand to trust. It has a big enough of area to put a huge load in, it doesnt mess up colours, it has a timer to tell you what cycle its on. It has white for the colour, its shiny that you turn the light on you can see it shimmer. It has a huge tub, its the Kenmore brand. Its awesome! I cant remember how much we bought it for. In all honesty it was a good deal for it being a major brand. I recommend getting it because ours last a long time.

Design idea is great, however material quality needs a major improvement. Therefore a design mod is necessary. Rust at loading site and several repair calls to stop the balance issue with the tub. I like Kenmore products but made the mistake of going with their high end model a few years ago.

I have always bought Kenmore washers. This is my third and I always buy the basic one with the biggest capacity. This one was under $400.00. The best reason to buy Kenmore is its from Sears and they stand behind their products.

Even clothes that had stains or very dirty came out clean. No need for second wash. Didnt even have to use the option of extra rinse or heavy dirty. Never had to level it like my top load washer. Never had any issues with it and its energy efficient and keeps my electric bill from skyrocketing. Its quiet you cannot even tell its running. Its compact enough but big enough to fit a big blanket or comforter usually had to take them to the laundromat. It wipes clean easily as well. It was more than I wanted to pay but in the long run its cheaper because it cost my electric lower and my water to run lower. I would recommend it to people.

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.

It had a great look in the kitchen and everyone love it, family and friends of the family, my brother and sister too. We got it by paying on time at a rent Thru center back in the day. I really appreciate it and if I can afford one now I would get one. But I tell everyone about it. It was a good washing machine and it last a long time for 7 yrs. Me and my family use to wash all the time when my mother dont have time. We use to make sure that all the clothes was wash and clean and that everyone enjoy washing.

I bought the high efficiency washer to save time and water. It takes twice as long to wash the clothes and almost always leaves soap residues on the clothes and I use high efficiency soap. I like the ease of use and wide variety of cycles. I live in a smaller community and the Sears store here does not have a repairman. This brings me to my next big problem. I bought the washer 4 years ago and yesterday it broke! It senses and then fills with water but when it moves to wash or to spin it does not agitate or spin. Water pumped out leaving me with soapy clothes still dripping wet. Apparently, I will have to purchase another machine and it will NOT be a Kenmore!

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.

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.

It was very easy to used, didnt take up a lot of power so my bill never went noticeably. Easy to hook up and maintain. As a bachelor it was big enough that I only had to do about two loads a week and that was more than enough. And the pre-wash cycle or the first rinse cycle work very well so I could put a very dirty clothes in it and they still came out clean. It was very squared, solid white colors so it kind of matched everything. The knobs were very self-explanatory so it was very easy to use and just looking at it you didnt get overwhelmed. I bought it used for only $50, and I used it for the better part of four years and never had any problems with it so far. The value I would definitely recommend.

I like Kenmore because it seems to be the best long-term appliance. Service on them I have been able to do myself cause simply to disassemble and online how-to sites. I have had my clothes get cleaner than any laundromat big washers have done with my Kenmore. I would not buy any other brand.

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.

The washer constantly smells like mildew, even after cleaning the gasket with bleach, and running an empty load with hot water and bleach. I have heard from several other friends that they have the same issue with this washer. My laundry room always smells like mildew, and clothes have to be removed immediately, or they will need to be re-washed.

I am so unhappy with this washing machine. It simply does not rinse the soap residue from dark fabrics. The last batch of dark colors, navy, black, jeans, etc. came out with white soap marks all over. I rewashed with no soap and added a rinse cycle. Still bad! I washed a king size teal colored blanket. After three rinses, I hauled the wet thing to the Sears store and showed them all the soap residue. They told me I used too much soap! Now I use a fraction of the soap and still get the residue. Dont buy this...

The unit (Washer/Dryer) have been working well for a long time now just like day one cleaning my tough stains & all with no problem. Even now my kids have no issue washing the game uniform which gives me more extra time to get my things done. But I was really raised on Kenmore products from my mom when I was growing up & the fact that theyre still making great products for me and my family to enjoy is the power of great long lasting products that stand the test of time.

It is pretty good. Gets the clothes clean. The washer works pretty quietly and efficiently - it is reliable. It is ready when I need it. It starts easily and is easy to use. It does not require a lot of work or maintenance. So it is easy to throw in load of laundry and go do something else. The washer is ok looking - it is classic looking - white and clean looking - simple not complicated. It does not take a lot of spaces - fits in corner nicely. It is a good value - if I had to take laundry out it would take so much of my precious time - it is so much easier to be able to do laundry at home.

It does not take long to clean what I need to clean. It does not make a lot of noise and is easy to use. I love it. When I bought I was very excited and I most dependently would not buy another washer for a good, good twenty years. It is very, very reliable. I can really count on it to wash every item correctly and in a timely manner every single time I use it. I would never use any brand but this one. It is very, very cute and I love it in my kitchen. It is just so pretty and I really love it. Everyone should buy this washer. It is perfect or anybody house. Washers are really pricey any way so the price I payed was amazing. I even got sweet discount. You really get a lot for your money. You will love it.

Mine is a front load washer. This Kenmore is great. The clothes always come out clean. Easy to use with many great options. The only maintenance required is to leave the door ajar and wipe off the inside of the door seal maybe once a month. We run a load every day and never had any issues. I would highly recommend.

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.

Performance very good... but sometimes make problem if load is full.

We bought the Kenmore Elite 29272, the day after Thanksgiving in 2010. We are now on the second main control board in ten months. Both times, the part has been back ordered and Sears has called the day before our appointment to reschedule. In both cases, they put the situation in our hands to track the part and then call them once we have the part in hand to not waste their time. What about our time? Each occurrence has lasted a month. This means the washer has only been in use 8 of the 10 months we have had it. I think they were trying to draw out the time so it falls out of warranty.The customer service department term used loosely is extremely rude. This is an outsourcing issue as there is no culpability with the product or support. The customer service person had the gall to indicate that if we feel that strongly about how bad the product is, to write the CEO. This is actually not a bad idea, though it will be intercepted long before reaching the intended source. Once the warranty fails, we are tempted to use the National Tire & Battery plan with Sears. Anyone that has seen the commercial, understands to throw the product through the plate glass window. Then, we will get a new washer that will not be a Kenmore (actually, a re-branded LG). Koreans.

Elite High Efficiency Top Loader - We bought our washer less than 2 years ago! It has been extremely noisy the last few months and unbalanced! Yesterday the washer flooded our upstairs and poured through our dining room ceiling! We called Sears and they want $80 just to come out and look at it, meanwhile we have to replace carpet and Sheetrock. How can a company charge so much for a product and not stand by its quality and care about its consumer. A washing machine should last for more than 2 years!! Companies like this need to be held accountable for ripping off the consumer.

Ran great, no repairs and finally gave to my son so I could get a new one. He has had no issues. Still running great. I really liked this washer. It was great. Clothes always clean. Would recommend to friends and family. Also would purchase this brand again. Multiple stages and washing Cycles to choose from, durable finish, did not ship crack or dent. Paint did not rust. Right price for the right machine. Good quality for the price. Very reasonable - was able to afford it.

We purchased our front loading washer in 2011, and it has not needed any repair and/or maintenance since then, nor does it now! It handles all of our clothes, bedding and other things. We wish all of our appliances were as reliable as this washer.

Cleans clothes well and in a short time. Its lasted for some time. I love it. It was a good price and Im glad I purchased it. It has a function for fabric softener and spins great. Although it does not fit my comforter, it fits large loads of clothing and gets them really clean. What a nice-looking washer. Its very clean and white, and shiny. Its modern and fits in my basement. It looks really pretty. I consider this a great purchase and a good value because Ive had it for a while and it works well. It didnt cost much and has a great warranty. It conserves water and uses less detergent.

Our Kenmore Elite high efficiency top load washer just had a recall and no longer has some of the features we initially paid for. But there are more reasons to avoid this product. There is a rust issue thats now eating into the enamel of the washer at the liquid bleach inlet of our two year old washing machine. Yesterday, based on some other reviews I read while contemplating my two cents, I checked the water temp when the machine was placed on a warm rinse. Guess what? Its cold water. This machine is disappointing and so are the responses given by Sears when you contact them with the concerns. No longer covered by manufacturers warranty. True. Didnt purchase extended warranty. True. But what about product integrity? Product expectation? This washer is disappointing. Ive been a loyal customer for years, but sadly my loyalty has been eroded with inferior products and service.

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.

I bought a Kenmore washer on Dec, 2013 at Sears, Oakville, Ontario. After one month the washer was broken --couldnt spin dry. Sears replaced me a new one MOD# 592-49347 around March 2014. After one year later and two month, the washer door couldnt lock.

The washer uses a sufficient amount of water to get the several loads of laundry cleaned each time. It is quiet and runs accordingly every time. I think it was a good value when I bought it now. I thought it handled every load well and had great capabilities of washing various loads, such as darks, lights, colors, and delicates. The water levels and heat were sufficient and well done. The washer is sleek and professional looking. It is large enough for the normal load but also for heavier loads. I got the washer in a white color with standard metallic sides. The value of the washer was great. I did not pay very much when I first bought it, and thanks to its reliability, it has held up well over the years and has stretched the dollar.

I bought this washer 6 years ago. It has worked just fine until about 6 months ago. Suddenly, it started taking longer and longer to finish the cycle. Then, occasionally, it wouldnt spin the clothes and I would have to run the separate drain and spin cycle. Then, it suddenly wouldnt even do that. I called Sears. My intention was to find out what it would cost (because it was out of warranty) to replace the brain, including the labor and repair call. Instead of giving me the quote I asked for, she convinced me to buy a 1-year service policy for somewhere around $350.00 explaining that if it was the brain, it would be considerably more than that. Then, came the clincher. If they couldnt repair it, I would be given a voucher toward a new machine. Sign me up! Guess what? Not. They came out and put in a new brain (this took a total of 4 weeks), then 2 weeks later it started the whole cycle again, only quickly this time moving into not spinning at all. I called for another repair order. They couldnt get me in for another week and a half. In the meantime, I kept working with the washer trying different cycles and stuff until I got it working again. Guess what? Now, since it wont malfunction in front of them, they have deemed it my fault! According to them, its because Im running unbalanced loads and using too much soap! After 6 years of successfully using this machine, apparently, Ive lost my mind! I am so frustrated I could spit! So, my solution is that I will call them each and every time it fails, and make them come out until my 1 year is up. Then, I will buy a new machine and it will not be from Sears! Im closing my account with them and after 30 years of being a customer, Im done!

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...

I bought the washer about 18 months ago. It quit working. Sears tech said main control board is defective. To me, that is a factory defect yet I had to pay 320 for extended warranty. Ive called many times, Sears just keeps throwing my calls between the reps. Ive not had a washer for a month!

This washer is durable and reliable. It cleans clothes very well yet is gentle on fabrics. Leaves me feeling like it cleaned my clothes thoroughly. Kenmore is a brand I trust. I have owned 2 Kenmore washers in my lifetime. The first one I bought I gave to my daughter and still works today. I wouldnt purchase another brand. Its your typical top loading washing machine in the standard white color. Directions for use are under the lid top. Agitation type tub. This Kenmore washer is very affordable. This specific washer to me was priced to sell. Its a great price for such a wonderful, reliable brand name washer.

The washer is great for heavy loads. It performs well with large loads and cleans well with all types of cycles. I especially like the way the washer washes in cold water. It gets all my clothes clean the first time. I have never had a problem with reliability. The washer has never given me any problems. It cleans well, has never broken down and I have never had to replace any parts or call a repairman for any type of service for the machine. I love the features of the machine. It has all the cycles you would need - regular, delicates, heavy loads and the machine does a wonderful job on all cycles. I have never had problems getting my clothes cleaned. The price is well worth it for this washing machine.. I have compared it to whirlpool and Maytag which I have had in the past and it works just as well as whirlpool and Maytag and it cost a lot less.

I want consumers to know that this washer is not worth the money. Mine has been an issue after the first two years of ownership. The washer smells awful even when cleaned weekly as recommended. The seal is moldy even though we always leave the door open. The washer is a maintenance nightmare. It does clean my clothes but I usually have to run the load twice because it stops with an F-20 code. I am just looking for a washer that will clean and last 20 years like my last one. Neither Kenmore nor Sears is my first choice anymore.

This HE washer is built like a truck and has been consistently reliable for the past nine years. It offers water settings from light to heavy loads with the options of extended spin and double rinse. There are five settings for water temperature from cold to very hot. It is quiet in operation and easy to clean. I have never needed a service call.

It seems the best Kenmores are the older ones. I was going to buy an newer one but heard from the service man that the older style I have is one of the best made. Non computer version. I guess like an old hot rod it runs best, if an EMP hits an older car and washing machine still works!

I’ve had my Kenmore for about 10 years. I get it checked out through my maintenance agreement every two years. I’ve had very few problems with my washer. One was with my bleach add in tray that started to rust and the other was with the balancing of the washer to stop the knocking sound. Both problems were corrected and are no longer problems.

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.

Model 27122 serial #C42330018 - Coin operated washer. 7-23-14 Purchased washer from Sears on line. Deld 7-29 - Leaked immediately - they replaced 2 days later. Machine failed within a couple of weeks - had to wait till 9-4 for service call - circuit board was fried according to repairman & said he will order new one. Waited 10 days only to find he never ordered it. 9-19 - Repairman put in new board but did not recalibrate machine (which another repairman said he should have done). Machine broke down again. 9-30 - 3rd repairman came but could not fix. 10-8-14 4th repairman (George) came & recalibrated circuit board. (10-23 machine failed again.) 10-24-14 (5th visit) George returned again and recalibrated again. Frankly no one know why the machine (a brand new machine) keeps failing. This has been going on for 3 months. The machine has never run more than 3 weeks and usually 2 (but 1 wk is the standard time it takes to get an appt. visit). Its a Kenmore made by Whirlpool. The repairmen have said they have a lot of trouble w/ this machine (yes, they actually said that & I have a witness). They blame the problems on the fact it uses a circuit board. Theres more, but I leave it at that.

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!

I put a twin sized comforter in the Kenmore Elite Series 700 washer by itself because it had throw up on it. I washed it under the bulky/bedding option and selected all of the options it would allow me to (prewash, fabric softener, rinse twice, and stain boost- I would have selected deep fill as well but it wont allow you to when you are running the bulky/bedding setting) and it still had throw up caked up on it when I took it out!!! ALL OF MY CLOTHES HAVE STAINS ON THEM NOW BECAUSE THIS WASHER DOES NOT WASH! I talked to the people at SEARS about this and they agreed that something must be wrong with it since it came out with throw up still on it and told me to have a service guy come look at it. So I did and the guy told me himself that he agrees that the top load agitator-less washers dont clean worth crap. He said this model here is not made for washing blankets or comforters or rugs or pillows- its just not made for that- it wont get them clean so I asked him if it says that it doesnt wash blankets (...etc.) anywhere in the description of the product because had it said that we would not have bought it (for 650$!) because we wash a lot of those things and need them to actually get clean!!! And you know what he had the audacity to say to me?!? He said well ya- just like it doesnt specifically say that you cant wash concrete blocks in it neither. So I said ok but who would even try to wash concrete blocks? He then said its just a common sense thing. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!? Instead of admitting that they have been selling a less than perfect appliance and showing some integrity by making things right, they are getting over on us all and will Im sure go out of business soon here. I will be suing.

We always bought Kenmore machines since 1970. We purchased this top loading washer recently and have been very unsatisfied. 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. As for energy efficiency, it takes a lot longer for a load to be completed. Had a technician come in the first month of usage, and was told what to do differently but nothing changed. Today, was the last straw: a favorite jacket that has been washed successfully in the past, came out worse than before I put it in! Would love our old, no energy efficient, agitating washer back in a heartbeat. Makes me think twice before going to Kenmore for another one.

Mechanically, the machine works fine. Design wise, the agitator does not do a very good job. As a result, a large load does not get agitated very well. I am often forced to split loads in order to get clothes clean.

I really like the Kenmore washer that I purchased several years ago. We wash a couple of loads a day and it has given me no problems. I will recommend Kenmore to anyone. Kenmore washers are the only brand that will be in my home. My Kenmore washer is not much to look at. It is the old style top open style. But it works great and still looks great. Even though its not one of those fancy front open models. The value of my Kenmore washer is great. If you take the ten years that Ive owned it and divide it by the six hundred dollars I paid for it, it is only about $55.00 a year.

We bought this during a presidents day sale and Ive love my Kenmore front loader washer. It has not needed any repairs but with my extended warranty the service man came to check out everything for free. Its perfect!

My other washer broke. Checked reviews and found this. So glad I did. Real quiet and has great settings. The review was right. I dont mind laundry day now. It has enough space for a good size load. The towels I still keep in a separate load habit but its big enough to include some with others. Would be nice if they came in different colors but controls dont stand out and it fit easily in the door. A nice blue would be nice. Good value. I shopped around to about 3 different stores. Asking about price matching does help if its not in stock where the price is lowest.

Our Kenmore Elite Top Loading HE washer leaks from the bottom after only 13 mo of light use. No hoses or drain issues, washer is regularly cleaned and maintained, only HE detergent in appropriate amounts are used. This happened one month after warranty expired. My previous washer lasted 12 years with no repairs required. Save yourself the hassle and expense of repairs and buy another brand.

Bought my top load washing machine with matching dryer 11 years ago and have never had any issues with it. My 19 year old grandson does his own laundry too and figured out all the features on his own.
