PROBLEM: Basket speed sensor fault
FIX: See if the spin basket rotates freely. If not, then examine and replace any defective drive components. If the basket spins properly, unplug the washer and check the wiring connections on the shifter assembly. That component has the optical tachometer. If the wiring connections are okay, then that shifter will usually need to be replaced.
CODE: F7 E5
PROBLEM: Shifter assembly fault
FIX: The main electronic control board cannot determine the position of the drive system shifter. Unplug the washer and check the wiring harness connections on the main electronic control board and the shifter assembly. If the wiring connections are okay, then the shifter assembly will usually need to be replaced.
CODE: F7 E6
PROBLEM: Motor fault
FIX: Unplug the washer and check the wiring connections on the drive motor. If the wiring connections are okay, then the drive motor will typically need to be replaced.
CODE: F7 E7
PROBLEM: Motor is unable to reach target RPM
FIX: Rotate the spin basket to see if it spins freely. If not, then a garment could be stuck between the outer tub and the spin basket. A problem with drive components could also cause excess friction. Inspect the drive components and replace parts as needed.
CODE: F8 E1
PROBLEM: Not filling or long fill time
FIX: Water isn't being detected as entering the washer. If the washer isn't filling, check the water supply faucets behind the washer to make sure that they are fully open. Check the fill hoses and inlet water valves. If the inlet water valve assembly is defective, replace it. If water is entering the machine but not being detected, then the main electronic control board (which includes the water level pressure switch) will usually need to be replaced.
CODE: F8 E3
PROBLEM: Overflow condition
FIX: If the washer is overfilling, check the inlet water valves. If the valves are not shutting off water flow, then replace the inlet water valve assembly. If the washer isn't actually overflowing, then the main electronic control board (which includes the water level pressure switch) will typically need to be replaced.
CODE: F8 E5
PROBLEM: Hot & cold fill hoses are reversed
FIX: Check the fill hoses. If they are connected properly then the inlet water thermistor (temperature sensor) will probably need to be replaced. That component is part of the Inlet Water Valve Wire Harness.
CODE: F9 E1
PROBLEM: Long drain time
FIX: The washer isn't draining after the drain pump runs for 10 minutes. Check the washer drain and the drain hose for clogs or restrictions. If the drain path is clear, unplug the washer and check the drain pump. If the drain pump is defective, replace it.
CODE: Wash LED on
PROBLEM: No fill or long fill
FIX: Water isn't being detected as entering the washer. If the washer isn't filling, check the water supply faucets behind the washer to make sure that they are fully open. Check the fill hoses and inlet water valves. If the inlet water valve assembly is defective, replace it. If water is entering the machine but not being detected, then the main electronic control board (which includes the water level pressure switch) will usually need to be replaced.
CODE: Spin LED on
PROBLEM: Long drain time
FIX: The washer did not drain after the drain pump has been running for 10 minutes. Check the washer drain and the drain hose for clogs or restrictions. If the drain path is clear, unplug the washer and check the drain pump. If the drain pump is defective, replace it.

Kenmore appliance common faults
Love this ice maker and cold water. Very economical also. Has shelves that you can move to suit your needs and easy to clean. The side of the refrigerator has so much room for milk, soda. They can fit any size soda bottle. Its 25 cubic. It is fantastic and meets all my family needs. You can arrange the shelves for height to fit your family needs. It has 2 drawers on the bottom for vegetables and cold cuts. Its freezer has loads of shelves and a huge slide out bin on the bottom. It freezes excellent, nothing is ever soft. I own the stainless steel one. It is very attractive and easy to clean with Windex and paper towels. I love the sleek modern look in my kitchen. It goes with any color on any other appliances you might own. It really looks like an expensive appliance but it was very reasonable price at my Sears store. It freezes very fast so food is not ruined and nothing has to be thrown out which saves you lots of money in the long run.
This dryer is pretty awesome. I love how fast it dries my clothes and if they had wrinkles prior then they get all the wrinkles out too. I never had any issues with this dryer. It never malfunctioned. Always worked the way it did since I first bought it. Its a really reliable dryer. The appearance is pretty basic. But thats okay. It doesnt need to look fancy to do a wonderful job. I like that it isnt real big and bulky. I dont remember the exact dollar I spent but I will say that I already did get my money worth out of it. The value is really good. It is worth it.
Have a 5 1/2 yr. old Kenmore Elite bottom freezer fridge. The unit developed a leak in the cooling system. Of course the warranty is expired (5 yr.). Have been without a working fridge for 6 weeks and counting. Service dept. is terrible. Have been here 6 times. Bought that extended warranty at the time of the first call to Sears to try and offset the repair cost. Have a whole different problem with that. The leak ended up burning up the compressor (which the tech. said wouldnt happen) which lead to another call to service to get the compressor fixed, which ended up being another call to service because the replacement compressor is bad too. Have to wait days and days between appointments, with the last one originally being 13 days until my constant complaining got it lowered to a mere 7 days. Problem has escalated to sears Executive Complaint Dept. which is helping but is too little too late. I will never buy anything that has a Kenmore or Craftsman name on it again. My days of shopping at Sears is also over. Do yourself a favor and avoid Sears and their service dept. at all costs.
I bought all 4 appliances at one time, Kenmore elite top of line bottom freezer/ref, dishwasher, microwave and electric stove. Ive owned them for at least 4 years and had problems with all of them. I paid top dollar for junk. What put me to post my displeasure was the refrigerator. About 1 month after warranty expired I began to receive Er 1F messages. I read on internet to pull the plug and it will resolve problems. I did it several times a year since then and problem would resolve and come back again. Now its becoming more frequent and water is now leaking from ice-maker. Going to change fan and motherboard to see if it solves the problem. Dishwasher also top of the line which I had to change major part that failed which caused major flood/water damage to house. Lucky that was still under warranty at the time. I would not recommend this product to anyone. Buyers beware. I signed up to a class action suit regarding refrigerator problems couple years back but did not hear back from group filing lawsuit. Sears and Kenmore should stop selling these inferior products with the elite tag. I had a GE appliances that lasted for 10 years or more which was much cheaper and more reliable than these terrible products. No wonder they were pushing me to purchase extended warranty cause there was known problems with these awful appliances.
I really like my Kenmore microwave. It’s efficient and has given me no problems. It is stainless, is easy to clean, and wired into the wall above my stove. I have had great success with Kenmore products all through the years.
The performance of my Kenmore refrig is really good. It produces the right amount of ice and keeps all my food cold when I need to reheat it and eat it. The size of my fridge is really good. The appearance of my Kenmore refrig is decent. It has a shiny outside that does shine quality overall. It somewhat does attract fingerprints but its fine since it looks really good. Although the fridge is really big, it costs on the high end of fridges. I bought another fridge before and it was cheaper. For the price and luxury, I think its fine but overall, I think it costs too much.
My Kenmore stove is not two years old and has an area where the oven vents on the upper left side that burned the paint and it is now peeling away. It burned the first time I used the self cleaning oven and is now peeling. I will not pay the $80 fee just to have them come and look at it when it is something that is obviously wrong with the manufacturing. Also one side of the oven gets hotter than the other. Dont buy their refrigerators either.
Overall excellent product. Very quiet and cost efficient. Always washes great, energy efficient. Huge loads can be done. Highly recommend buying this product. Very, very reliable. Never not worked properly. Always cleans very effective. Great warranty so nothing to worry about. Highest recommendation. Clean, smooth, good looking. Nice size. Fits very nicely in modern home. Several options on color choice. Good price for the quality you are getting. Very competitive pricing. Definitely worth the money.
Our refrigerator is 6 years old and the board is gone. Very disappointing. The ice maker sprays ice all over the floor after the glass is removed from the opening. You cannot remove the ice bin from the freezer unless the french door is open. One and done. 6 years really! I know appliances no longer last a lifetime but 6 years. Do not buy this appliance.
The washer machine doesnt fail to work. I have had it for a long time and it still hasnt worn its performance. It cleans everything perfectly and without fail. I can always trust this machine. It has never proven bad. This machine is reliable for any clothes and large to fit them into it. The appearance of this washer machine is marvelous. It fits perfectly in next to the dryer. The funny thing is the two machines next to one another fit perfectly in the laundry room. It is well worth the value. It has never let me down. I have had this washer machine for 3 years and it still acts as if its brand new. Im amazed.
I like that it really cleans all of my dishes and not just partially like most dishwashers I have used before in my life. It also lets me control the speed which is nice because you want to have some control over how fast it goes. I really liked what this brand had to offer as far as features and just overall capability. It is something I could see myself using for the next 10 years and getting the best quality out of it. But I would like if it could fit more dishes. I also would like if it was stainless steel at a cheaper price than what you would have to spend for that feature.
It works very well. I can put in large loads with no issues. I wish there was a spot for fabric softener. However, everything works splendidly. We have had this product for 2 years and it has never given us any issue at all. It can wash really dirty items without a leftover smell. It looks like a normal washer. Its great for someone on a small budget that wants a washer that will last a long time. Its also easy to clean. We got this at a very good price and is very affordable and reliable. For something we will be using for years to come with a little one, this was the perfect washer for us.
My first washer/dryer set was a Kenmore. They lasted me 28+ years before the washer died. I bought a new Kenmore Elite set that has a large enough capacity for all types of bedding, mattress covers, quilts, etc. It uses HE soap, doesnt require much. Takes longer to wash, but saves on water. I was told that washers lasting anywhere near what the older ones did are a thing of the past. The new ones, if youre lucky, will last 8 years. Mine is currently 2.5 years old, so Ill have to wait and see. Definitely would recommend Kenmore.
Very disappointed for the price I pay and This washer machine is been fix several times already. Pay too much. I request Kenmore to replace the machine but no answer. I just have to pay a deductible of $75 to get it fix. Don’t buy this product.
Useful and good. Closes by itself and keeps food in good shape. Love it too and glass shelves and easy to clean and close the door by itself and put together. No smell after cleaning.
My refrigerator defrost for no reason. The drain pan is not removable!!!! There is blood in the drain pan and you cannot remove or reach to clean it. The smell is disgusting! The user manual mention automatic defrost but I cant figure out when and why it will happen. I lost the content of my refrigerator and with this smell might lose the whole appliance. It is only 2 years old!!! I will never buy Kenmore again. I tried to phone but with the automated service couldnt get any help!
Its really good, runs very well, cleans all my dishes. Never really had any problems or any time where the dishes were not clean otherwise everything has been pretty good about it. I am able to fit a lot of dishes in it, but I also dont want to overfill it because then Im afraid some of the dishes wont come out clean. Fits nicely in my kitchen and matches the rest of my stuff in the kitchen. Its really nice. It has stainless steel, makes some music noise when the wash is done with the dishes. It definitely was not a cheap dishwasher, it ended up being at the max of our budget that we saved for a dishwasher but it was all worth it.
Its lasted a long time and has never broken down. I love the copious amounts of storage as well as the built-in ice and water dispenser. This space demands I write more about it although I really only have so much to say about a fridge.
It performs as normally as any other washer. I like the different options and settings when washing and the fact that it is a front load instead of a top load. I have had this washer for about five or seven years now and it still works very well and washes my clothes as if we just bought it yesterday. It is a front load washer and it is white. One thing that I like about the washer is the different settings when washing and it also comes with a display as well. Im not really sure about the value of the product for the money it is worth because my parents bought the washer a while ago for themselves and then gave us the washer and dryer for me and my fiance when we moved into our new house. Overall my best guess would be that it is very valuable for the price.
My parents used Kenmore and I found a good deal on mine. The refrigerator has met my expectations of it. I like the space that I have in it and the freezer is spacious. The shelves are far enough apart to store things. I can store a good bit of stuff in it. But I should have went with a bigger one. If I have too much stuff on the top shelf then sometimes things will freeze in it. I probably will buy another Kenmore when I have to buy another refrigerator but I hope it is not too soon because refrigerator can be very expensive to buy.
I wanted a washing machine that was efficient - easy to program - EZ to load and unload - had multiple options - and was QUIET. Those requirements have been fulfilled. It has also been trouble free. I especially like the stainless steel tub. The SPIN cycle is effective and QUIET. The machine does not walk - hop as some older models had a tendency to do.
This fridge is used in the lower level family room. It fits in perfectly with the decor and keeps everyone out of the main fridge upstairs. it is easy and convenient to clean. Yes this works perfectly for a second refrigerator as it holds mostly snacks and a few overflow items. Fits in beautifully with the decor. Clean easily. I expect it to last a very long time. We have this refrigerator in black. The are that it is in is done in soft blacks, greys and splashes of nude, so the contrast of this dark black equipment sets it up nicely and once again the ease of cleaning is great. I cant complain. As second refrigerator, its cost was well within our budget which made it perfect. The fact that we were able to get this in this color for a price we needed is a great factor as well. It is definitely worth the money spent.
Ive had the dryer for over 6 years. I dont know how long it was in my home before I purchased the house so Im not sure the real age of the dryer but Ive only had to replace the belt on it once and havent had any other major repairs to it. Ive even let other friends and family use it over the years and its still going strong.
We bought a Kenmore Elite several years ago. I registered for this site so that I could let other consumers know what a terrible refrigerator it is. Do not buy. First, the lighting unit burned, I guess because something was too close to it. Replaced that piece and then it stopped working, shorted out and left brown burn marks. The icemaker quit a while back. The molding around the refrigerator is ripped and held together with duct tape. The plastic pieces surrounding the door shelves are cracked. Now, one drawer pull is broken and cant open drawer. This is a piece of junk. I will never buy a Kenmore again.
I purchased this in 2007 and in the last couple of months, the freezer has stopped working properly. I called Sears. Repairman came out and said I need compressor. While he was here, he checked it and claimed to find a bent fan or something that should have been blowing on compressor. He said he corrected that and that freezer should be cooling better within 24 hours. $72 wasted. You guessed it. Freezer went downhill, followed by refrigerator which was working properly. About a year ago I went through lighting problem and had outside vendor replace digital display unit. I did not know it was a major consumer issue. I am now looking at refrigerators and dont know which way to go. I went out and bought a big cooler.
My 80 year old mother bought a new Kenmore washer and dryer from Sears June 30, 2011. The last 2 weeks, the operation has been sporadic, and as of today, it wont fill or run through a cycle. She bought these to replace a 12 year old washer and dryer. I called Sears helpline and they couldnt find any record and immediately wanted me to schedule a $79.00 service call. I was eventually put on hold while she checked on something. 5 minutes later, another lady came on the phone and had no idea why I was calling. After some troubleshooting, she told me I needed either a control board or a lid switch and asked me again if I wanted to schedule a $79.00 service call. I have never had a major appliance fail after only 3 1/2 years. Seems like the helpline just wanted to sell me a service call. If I have to replace this washer, you can rest assured it will not be with another Sears product since they dont stand behind this inferior product.
My Kenmore dryer always has a constant heat that I can depend on. I can also count on my clothes never being wadded together, some of them still damp. I can always gauge the amount of time I need to set the dryer for based on my load size; it is predictable and reliable. It is easy to remove lint from the dryer and its parts, and easy to keep clean on the outside. I have been able to put my wet clothes in, set the time, and walk away knowing when it is finished, I will be able to fold and hang my laundry and put it away without some time of wrinkle or dampness issue.
Got Kenmore washer and dryer used. They are great and have been very reliable for over 5 years now. They are white in color and very fashionable. Paint doesnt chip and very sharp looking. I couldnt be happier with their looks and performance. If I ever need another one, I would certainly get a Kenmore. I would recommend this brand to anyone.
Reliable, quiet, does the job and gets everything clean, energy efficient. I have no complaints and would recommend this dishwasher to anyone interested. This easily holds all the dishes that we use including large pots, pans and casserole dishes, lots of silverware, gets everything clean with no complaints. This dishwasher is brushed stainless steel, very attractive and easy to clean. I like the handle because there are no sharp point to tangle on clothes. I am very happy with the job that this dishwasher has done. Got it on sale at a good price and feel it is more than worth what we paid for it.
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!
We purchased a Kenmore Elite front load washer and dryer combo (592-493040) from Sears about 5 years ago - cost well over 2500$. A visually beautiful Tango Red plus the matching bases. This was a mistake. As a retired couple the machines have had once a week use. Last week the washer started to smoke after the spin cycle and make loud off balance drum noises. The repair outfit just told me that the washer will cost over 750$ to repair and was made in Korea by another manufacturer for Sears/Kenmore. To get six years out of an expensive high end washer is consumer abuse. More fool me... Sears Canada has closed, the extended warranty no longer honored. It seems we bought a Lada disguised as a Ferrari. Advice: Stay away from Kenmore products! (Irony is my 95 year old mother has a top load Kenmore that has been chugging along reliably for 25+ years). What happened to the legendary reliability of the Kenmore product line?
I purchased a Kenmore Elite Oasis HE washer and dryer in 2006. I would never buy another one. They are the worst pair I have ever owned. There always seems to be a problem. Just a little frustrating like getting off balance multiple times during each wash, even if I carefully place the clothes around the sides. It is perfectly level also. The sensor of the dryer quit years ago. I cant leave the washer and dryer on without being in the house to try to fix the problem when it occurs, or to check the clothes, to see if they are dry. The pair cost me $1,948.92 in 2006. I had just retired, and hoped this pair would last. I want to be reimbursed, so I can purchase a different pair. I wouldnt even feel honest, if I give them to goodwill.
I would advise anyone shopping for a new refrigerator to steer clear of Kenmore elite refrigerators. $2200. On sale less than 3 yrs ago. Plus additional $800 for master warranty. Ice maker stopped working and temperature in refrigerator in the high 60s. Problems started mid June. It is now July 24th. 3 visits from repair tech still not working. Another 17 day lead time for another appt. You have to send blanket emails, make countless calls to get anywhere. If you were counting on LEGENDARY Sears customer satisfaction motto forget it. Research online and you can read for yourself the multiple posting of customers having serious issues with this fridge. I regret not researching my choice better. BUYER BEWARE!
A Kenmore oven purchased about 7 years ago seems to have a faulty circuit breaker. The broiler turns on by itself. The oven apparently doesnt even need to be turned on. It nearly burnt my home down (several times). The only way to turn the broiler off was to pull the oven out of the wall and unplug the oven. Sears offered $150, which doesnt even cover repairs. And if posts are true, it doesnt even fix the problem. Make right on this. Look it up: Kenmore oven broiler. Dont risk your families’ lives with Kenmore! I just paid $750 for a new oven which you owe us for. I am not taking a chance with my family’s lives because of poor manufacturing and negligence of human safety. I will not drop this because I care about innocent people who believe their oven will not erupt in flames on its own. Start living up to human decency and take care of this. I am one of many but I will not let this drop.
Bought in May 2019. Had to call for repair in August. Temp inside was 17.5. Lost everything due to freezing. Twice. Its a 20 cu top freezer with door shelves on inside. Takes up all the space you have inside of fridge.
Its really exactly what you would/should expect. Its definitely a quality product. I do really love the whole ice machine bit. Buy some Tupperware though. I like to use the crock pot for roasts and what not and it definitely doesnt fit. Size is fine. Breaking up the roast into smaller portions isnt a bad deal though. Makes it ready to take in my lunch that way, anyway. Black, modern, sleek. I mean, its a refrigerator. Not exactly the centrepiece of a room really. It doesnt stand out though, so thats nice. I dont think Ive ever really looked at one made after the 80s or so that I thought was ugly, really. I mean, considering I barely paid for it, Im pretty stoked on the value. I would have happily paid asking price, though.
Have had for two years. Has wonderful climate control and space capacity is excellent, first fridge of this kind with freezer at bottom. It is a great feature to have and wont go back to side by side doors. Yes so far have not had any issues what so ever regarding storage capacity and are taking care of a family of four, the interchangeable shelves are another benefit thats adds value to this type of fridge freezer. The appearance of the fridge is a sleek design which also made it an attractive buy as it fit perfectly with our kitchen design, it is also easy to clean and maintain when it comes to hand prints. Considering size appearance and many stable shelving along with frost features it is a good value for price when considering all these aspects. Would not trade it for another model.
I have both a washer and dryer made by Kenmore. They were a housewarming gift from my aunt and uncle back in 2003 when we moved into our house, and they are still going strong with no issues ever. I use our washer and dryer a lot, and they have never given me even a minute of trouble. I like it that Kenmore produces products that are built to last. I will continue to purchase Kenmore products in future and I will recommended them to everyone I know. I also like it that my Kenmore washer and dryer are very low maintenance. The only maintenance I ever really do are I clean out the dryer filter regularly and I run the occasional vinegar rinse through the washer to keep it fresh. Other than that, there hasnt been the need for any more maintenance!!! Thank you Kenmore!
The price was very right. I caught a nice sale. I love the look of the fridge. It look small but on the inside was huge. And it was great of the size of our apartment. It did us justice. We also had a 3rd floor apartment and a long stairwell so being able to fit inside that way was the key to my fridge purchase. And then the fact that the inside was large to fit a lot of food was even better. I only replaced the light inside about once, besides that it function quite well. I was overall pleased and if I had the same choices I would choose the same items again.
I chose to purchase my Kenmore Dishwasher because, at the time, I was pregnant with my first child, had just gotten our first house, and I was really trying to save money at every chance I could. The Kenmore was a great buy. It was a lower end price point when I bought it, but it worked like a charm. Fantastic dishwasher for a fantastic price. I enjoyed the Kenmore Dishwasher I had because it was very compact, wasnt very loud while being used, and lasted a very long time even with being used everyday, and even sometimes twice a day.
Very happy with the performance of this dishwasher. It cleans exactly like it is needed to. The size of this dishwasher is exactly what is needed in my home. It is able to handle several days of kitchen mess before it has to be run. The appearance of this machine is pleasing to the eyes in my kitchen. It is not plain nor is it crazy expensive looking. I think it is exactly what is needed in my house. I think the value of this dishwasher is ok. It was priced a little high when we bought it from a local retailer. They did not have any sales going on at the time of purchase.
Kenmore Elite (cough!) model 795.72182312 2 drawer freezer - We bought this refrigerator in early November 2013, and we took delivery in December. First, water and ice formed on top of freezer drawers. Sears said its because I wasnt opening freezer enough, but it was water leaking from dispenser. Repairman said motor was frozen and that wasnt covered in warranty. Jan 2015, same thing with fridge. Water leaking down front on floor and freezer drawers. Paid $2400 for what? Now another repair call, and limited relief from lawsuit! Sears sucks! I bought my last appliance from them.
The freezer storage drawers really need to be redesigned... Or the hardware that holds them must be redesigned. Either way, the first drawer from the bottom cant be used. The size was fine for our family of four. Any bigger would have been unnecessary. However, it would have been nice if the water dispenser was higher for bigger glasses. The appearance was fine, as we needed stainless steel to match the other appliances. However, it never really looked clean... Very streaky. The value was good for that specific appliance. If we wanted the fancier Viking or Wolf, it wouldnt have worked with our budget. Kenmore offered the same as Whirlpool or Maytag which cost more.
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.
We purchased our house from the original owner and have had nothing but problems with the oven racks. They never used the oven, so were unaware of the problem. It is Model # C 970-418232, Serial # NF70817966. We have had the racks fall in the middle of baking something NUMEROUS times, finally with one incidence causing a serious burn. This is unacceptable! I have read that others have had the same issues, but there have been no resolutions as of yet. It is not under warranty anymore, and I dont think that this should be called a warranty issue, but should be recalled due to the risk of VERY SERIOUS burns, items breaking when rack falls, etc!!! We should be able to SAFELY use ANY of our oven racks on ANY of the shelf levels! My mother has also been burned by our oven, and my children are forbidden to use it! Has ANYONE been compensated for this problem? Has Sears ever replaced any of the racks and given the owner the correct size? I look forward to hearing more about this from other owners, and would love to hear back from Sears! This is an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS problem that needs to be fixed!
Its been less than a year that we got our refrigerator and it is already not working. We have had many technicians come and look at it and I mean look. They dont touch it and all they say is, We will be back in three weeks!! HELLO I NEED A WORKING Fridge not just a thing that warms up my food. Ive spent over 300 on groceries and all have gone to the trash because of the fridge not working. I have a big family and I cant even buy food for the week. This is beyond ridiculous. KENMORE please dont be selling bad refrigerators or at least help me with the one I have.
It works well and fast and washes all the dishes fast. It also comes at a cheap price for me, and it is very good value. It can fit basically all of my items. I myself use a lot of plates, bowls, and many utensils to cook and I can fit them all in one wash. It doesnt really look much because dishwashers werent really built to look too nice... Its silver and just ordinary.
We have not had any problems with our Kenmore Washer. It cleans very well, can do heavy loads or small delicate, you can adjust water levels and hot or cold water. Weve had it for 6 years and we think that shows that it wears over the long time. We would recommend it highly.
I adopted the refrigerator and it worked really well until it started to fail (expansion valve and compressor). The size was just right for a family of four and worked fairly well for the produce section although the refrigerator is several years old. It has an appealing appearance. The color was white and had no problems with chipping or easily scratching. It was easy to clean with soap and water. It worked for about 3 months and was at least 17 years old when we finally found an economical refrigerator to replace it.
My Kenmore is a side by side 25 cu. ft purchased at Sears. I love the storage space which I can customize, adjustable shelves and automatic defrost. The only bone I have to pick with this refrigerator is that you have to change the filter for the water dispenser approximately every six months. If you dont, it would probably take about an hour to fill a glass of water, lol.
The oven racks of my Kenmore model 790.36723603 fall off the middle tracks. This is not an isolated occurrence. Many people are complaining of the same problem online. It appears that the oven walls are bowed due to the extreme heat of the self-cleaning cycle. It is obviously a safety issue when removing hot food. These ovens should be recalled or repaired at the expense of Sears due to a manufacturer error. Sears is not taking responsibility, only suggesting the purchase of new racks.
Its not the best. It doesnt always get the dishes nice and clean. They dont always come out dry and I have never had a load of dishes come out without water spots on them. The size of the dishwasher is very good for the size of household that we have. We are a family of 4 and this dishwasher can hold 2 days worth of dishes in it. The appearance of this dishwasher is good. It can match into any basic kitchen that you put it in. It has a nice and clean look to the front of it. I have no clue what the retail value of this dishwasher is. Because my dishwasher was bought second hand and only cost my 25.00. I hope if I have to replace this one that the price is in a good price range.
I just had the WORST customer service experience of my life. Dont buy a Kenmore product, because if it breaks youll be stuck waiting for repairs. This morning my husband noticed that the ice maker on our Kenmore Elite refrigerator was leaking and the ice was melting. Not only that but the food in the fridge was warm and the stuff in the freezer was thawing and melting. When I called customer service for repairs the lady on the phone could not understand the issue. I had to explain to her several times that it wasnt just the ice maker or just the freezer but that the entire unit wasnt working. She then had me open both doors of the refrigerator (letting out what little cool air was remaining) and push some buttons while holding my phone up to the Kenmore Connect symbol so it could send a message about whats wrong.We had to do this multiple times until she eventually told me that I would be receiving a parts in the mail in the next 2 to 3 DAYS and that a technician would be out on December 31. So Im without a fridge for TWO WEEKS! Forget cooking Christmas dinner or hosting a New Years party. This is unacceptable. If Amazon can deliver a package in under an hour, then Kenmore should be able to put a technician in a truck to pick up the parts at whatever warehouse theyre located in and drive out to my house TODAY to fix the issue.
It is quiet and cleans well and really does not need much maintenance and all clean products work well. It is easy to use and does not need any instructions to use. You can easily figure out how to operate it by just touching the panel. My favorite thing is that it is quiet and I never notice any smells coming from it after a few years. The silverware tray is easily removable for larger pot and pans and I can fit small plate in the top very easily. I like that it has so many nooks and hooks so your wine glasses are safely cleaned. It is easy to read and cleans well and keeps it appearance after years of use. It is blends well with other appliance and cleans easily and has an easy to see time schedule. It was a fair price and really like the extended warranty even though we did not need it. We did have a problem once before with a different dishwasher being loud and have a warranty recall and were pleased with this one.
It hasnt given us any real problems over its lifespan other than it makes a very loud thumping sound when shutting off. It still runs perfectly though. It is definitely big enough for a regular sized family of 3 or 4 people. The only time there isnt enough room is when we are hosting a gathering. It has a very basic appearance and is white in color. I wouldnt say theres anything special about the appearance but that isnt why we bought this model. It is more of a bargain refrigerator so I think its a great value. I want to say it was around $1000? No repair bills of any kind so we cant complain.
Love my washer and dryer front loaders. Clean well, but long cycles. Never any problem and very reliable. I have the stackable kind and have drawers underneath. Only had one service call in nine years and it was for a door latch that was from the kids slamming the door of the washer. They are water and electricity efficient. Mine are black and look very up to date and modern. I love the front look and they are very easy to get into. Mine are standing on two drawers that are great for storage and also bring up the machines a bit so I dont have to bend over to put in and take out clothes. Mine are over 9 yrs old and still look wonderful. Well they were $1000 each 9 years ago, but the fact that I have had no problems with them, and I hope they last another 10 years, then it was a good value.
We purchased this 40 range from Sears & Roebuck brand new with other appliances. They have had problems too & are all too expensive for what you get any more with too many digital, sensitive, & failing parts. We have been purchasing Kenmore products for over 35 years before purchasing these new products. The problems started after the range was less than three years old, but out of warranty. The bake element melted & burned out & melted. The cost of the part alone was over $60.00 for the element. Then three months later the range caught on fire again & the element burned again (the oven was not even turned on), this time the control board & some wiring between the element & the control board also burned. Now in addition to the element needing replacement again, the control board & wiring needs replacement. The cost of the control board alone is nearly $500.00. That is more than the last oven even cost. This oven was over $2000.00 & burning out in less than 10 years with the cost of repairs ridiculous. Something is just not right.
Stay as far away from this product as you can. I paid almost 3000.00 for this French Door refrigerator (Kenmore Elite refrigerator manufactured by LG) only 2.5 years ago. It started out with a weird chemical smell last week which I later learned was Freon. Then everything went from cool to room temp in a day or so and since the warranty is up on it I decided to cut my losses and purchase a new refrigerator. According to other online reviews this is a typical problem with these refrigerators. My trusted repairman wont even work on them. He says they are junk and even if you fix the leak you will be doing it again in 6 mos to a year. I am very disappointed not to mention the fact that I had to shell out another 2000.00 for another refrigerator. Sears, I am done with you.
Very efficient and quiet and also very easy to use with little or no help at all. Its great. I will/wish all of your appliances worked as quietly as that brings to memory when my fridge went kaput. You can fit pots and pans and skillets and soil washers. It also will allow you to put in coolers if theyre not of great size and does get those clean especially after camping and fishing. It has a really Sleek look. Very small in size and fits in the smallest Corner in my kitchen but still is very easy to access. It was the best one that we saw for sale at the time especially for the small size. Besides having a very Sleek look and being small enough to fit in the corner of my kitchen the value seems fantastic as it has a really new look although it is not too old. I really do love it.
Very good and quality is very nice. And dishwasher is very good and performance and it includes very clean.
Gets my stuff very clean. I cant say how well it works. I never got to worry about stains, they are gone. Washer has been a life saver to me and my family. It has never broke or had any issues with my washer. If I had to choose I would get them again. Thanks Kenmore for great service. I could not ask for a better washer for my family. It is sleek and great, so small it fits and powerful. Many color options are available but I choose white. I have always love the look of the washer. It s a great value. I got it due to the price was good along with the quality could not ask for better washer. If I had another choice I would still go with the brand and one I chose.
I purchased my Kenmore side by side in the spring of 2013. It wasnt until the summer of 2014 that it began to make noise. A loud humming noise. I havent had it looked at yet because it still freezes the food.
It gets my familys clothes clean whether it is a large or small load. I have had a family of six and now there are just two of us left at home. It just keeps working. This washing machine has been working for over ten years with no service problems. I can fit larger items like blankets in it or do my finest washable on the hand washing cycle. It still looks great! In fact, it is older than my dryer but it looks better because the paint has lasted well and it still looks relatively modern considering it was bought before the famous front-load look came into style. This purchase has been well worth it. Any washing machine that has done the amount of laundry I have done that has lasted over ten years is worth its weight in gold.
I have always trusted Kenmore appliances to deliver value, performance and reliability. The fact that they are readily available in most areas in America matters since I move a lot. Its nice to know a dealer is nearby for necessary repairs, or more likely, to buy a newer version. There were many models to choose from so I could get the one that fit my apartment situation perfectly. I had a basic model and it was a size good there but also transitioned to my first house with no problem. It was very easy to clean, and keep clean. However its always a battle to chose between amount of features versus price. And more variety in shelving arrangements would have been nice. Gallon milk jugs and 2 liter soda bottles are a challenge in smaller fridges.
It is one of the best refrigerator out there. I never had any issues with it and it always kept the right temperature. It was silver, duo doors with a ice and water dispenser. I wish I would have got a different one with the bottom draw because the extra space would have been great. I did not have enough space for all the frozen items I usually buy. It was a great fridge though.
It’s a microwave with convection built in, I use it more than my oven, convenient and easy from defrost to heating food or baking scrumptious deserts. It’s a great choice to work with, the settings are easy visible. Works like a charm, love it.
It worked really well except the shelves kept breaking on the door. It kept veggies and fruits, and lunch meat cold in the bottom drawers but be careful not to turn too cold because if you put anything on the top shelf too cold it will freeze. It was good for when I needed it. Freezer is small but fridge part is big enough to put gallon milk on bottom shelf. A little too small for my family of 5. It would get overstuffed with groceries and leftovers. It was white with freezer and fridge. It had glass shelves and two drawers in the bottom of the fridge for meats and veggies. The bottom above the drawers was plastic and breaks easy. The door of the fridge, the guards break off easy. It was a good value for a small family or starting out with a basic fridge. It held a good amount of food but the freezer... it was very small basically for ice and a few meats.
Bought it and have not had any problems with it. Runs good and keeps things frozen. Have not had a problem with it frosting up. Dont think we have ever defrosted it. Would recommend to others. For the size it works great. We use the freezer for extra food. We are a family of five and it suits us perfectly. It is great to have space to keep extra food. It has a sleek design. It is just the right height and width. Not too big and not too small. Perfect for our families needs and looks good too. The price was just right. Needed a freezer to store extra food. Didnt need anything fancy. It gets the job done without breaking the bank. Would definitely purchase again.
Works great and is very reliable. Like the performance. I wash everyday and I am very satisfied with the performance of both really great products. I use 3 to 4 times a day and wash blankets and all my curtains. Mine came in several different colors. I picked tan to match my decor and the trim is also optional. Very sleek in design - shines like a penny. I would say it is a value for the money I paid. Will last almost a lifetime. I will not have to replace for several years. Really works like a commercial washer and dryer for home use. It is well worth the price.
I like that the dishes always come out clean and sparkling. I never need to put anything back through and things stay in place while the machine is in use. There are the odd pieces now and again that cant fit but thats to be expected. Overall Ive had no problems getting everyday items to go. Beautiful design that readily goes well with anyones home and decor style. The appearance is sleek and blends well with the surroundings. You get what you pay for. No complaints from me! I dont think its unreasonably priced and given the typical cost of dishwashers, I think this is a fair price.
Not a happy camper. I have a 7 month old Kenmore Elite french door refrigerator that is a lemon. First the ice maker quit and everything on the dispenser door. Took 3 weeks for a repairman to come out yesterday. He said we would have ice soon. So I excitedly looked for an ice cube this morning to make my girls breakfast smoothies to find the whole refrigerator is not working... Only thing working is the LIGHT. Everything in the freezer is thawing. Everything in refrigerator is not cold... 45 degrees in refrigerator. I called repair number again and they want to send out another computer which was just replaced yesterday, and it will be Sept 14th before anyone can come out to try to fix. Grr... Do not buy this refrigerator. I wish I had bought a cheap $400 refrigerator instead of this $4000 one. They want to offer is a 1 yr. warranty plan in case it happens again. Unacceptable.
Well the plastic disk in the roof of my oven is melting and has burn marks. We dont have a warranty or service contract with Sears so they want to charge us $249 to come and LOOK at it. Hello, our microwave is melting and burning inside and this is OUR issue? Sounds like a serious defect. Someone wrote in the Sears website with the same question and it was never answered. So I know I cant be alone in this melting disk microwave issue. Kenmore, WTH!? Will NOT buy from Sears or Kenmore.
The refrigerator must be long lasting and energy efficient, and all of the Kenmore brands had these features. Plus I have specific size requirements and Kenmore had the only refrigerators that I trusted that would fit in my home. But I really do not like the ice maker in the freezer. I do not have a water hook up in my home so I cant use it and it takes up too much space in my freezer. But it lasted a very long time and I was sad to have to replace it. I ended up getting another brand because they did not have the refrigerator needed as far as size went.
This washer is great! It cleans clothes thoroughly, even grimly work clothes and kid stained items. It is very durable and requires little to no maintenance. I have had my model for over ten years now and have never had to have service performed on it. It does require regular cleaning but no more or less than any other model. Very sleek design and easy to load. It is big enough to accommodate large loads but the overall size is small enough to fit in just about any configuration in your home. Any product that lasts longer than 5 years without requiring service or needing to be replaced is an excellent value. My family has always bought Kenmore appliances because of their overall value.
It was big, and fit what I would call huge loads. It had a super fast cycle system unlike a lot of others that take for what seems like forever and my clothes came out more clean than with my previous ones. It would fit more than what I needed into it. When I would do a load of laundry it would actually be 2 normal loads, my normal loads. And to my surprise they came out more clean than I would have expected them too. I am in love with them. They arent the newest looking with the clear lid or anything but it definitely gets the job done. Laundry is laundry. As long as the equipment does its job appearance shouldnt matter. Its well worth it in all truthfulness. I would buy it a thousand times over before Id go invest in one of the fancy ones. These are exactly what I needed.
Kenmore top loading high efficiency washer model 110.2810 - We purchased this washing machine from Sears for $750 on 12/2/2012 and did not purchase the extended warranty. It is now less than two years old and I came home the other day to find my basement flooded because the outer drum of the machine cracked. The repair person said he could not believe what he saw with this broken part and he felt this was clearly a manufacturers defect. It will cost $600 to repair my 2 year old washing machine. I called Sears to request that they supply the part for free so that I only needed to pay for the repair itself of $300 and was told I needed to call the manufacturer Kenmore. When I called the phone number that was posted by Kenmore I was told that I needed to contact the manufacturer directly as they could not help me. I told them that I thought I did call the manufacturer and they told me that I called Sears. I told them I got the phone number off of the Kenmore website and they said yes, they post that number but its actually to Sears. What kind of customer service is this? They then transferred me to Whirlpool who manufactures Kenmore. After talking with the rep at Whirlpool, she said they no longer manufacture Kenmore and that I need to call Sears because they sold it to me. This is a terrible way to do business. It would be nice if they would manufacture a reliable product that you do not need to purchase an extended warranty for an amount that costs half the price of the machine itself. They do this apparently because they know they are manufacturing a substandard product. This is an American based company and this is truly an embarrassment for our country to have such poor manufacturing supported by even worse customer service. I would sincerely hope that management takes a better look into how they continue to do business.
I had an old Kenmore fridge that lasted for 20 years. I replaced it because it became so noisy but it was cooling perfectly. The new one I got Nov. 2013 is the 18.3 cu ft with two doors (Sears.ca item number 463642104). Two weeks ago, the freezer stopped working (everything inside melted) then few days later the whole fridge was not cooling. It is plugged and it looks like its working but it is not cooling. I called a technician and he said there is a gas leak and that should not happen with a less than 3-year old fridge. Tracking a leak and replacing the gas is very expensive and you are better off buying a new fridge. I called Sears and of course I am on my own because it has been more than 12 months.
The Kenmore refrigerator have the freezer at the top, the cooler on the second row, and two drawer on the third row. The color is white and has shelfs on the refrigerator door and on the inside of the freezer door.
Kenmore is really good quality. The refrigerators come in tons of different styles and colors. They last longer than any other brands. Kenmore also has an excellent selection of side-by-side refrigerator/freezer combinations, as well as french door fridge/freezer combinations.
Kenmore Electric Range Model 790.9742 - Purchased in April 2010. The racks are no longer and it collapsed during the cooking process due to the oven liner warping and bowing out. Repairman says it is unrepairable and there are no racks available to fix this problem. Sears tells me this is an isolated problem and they have never heard of this problem before. Really?! Its all over the internet on not only Kenmore, but LG, Jenn-Air, Whirlpool, and other brands made for Sears. All Sears will do is give me a 20% discount off a new stove because I did not buy the extended warranty. I sincerely doubt the extended warranty would have covered an oven liner since it is not a replaceable part. It is part of the oven, according to the repairman. I was nearly burned when I pulled out a casserole to check on it. Dutch oven also fell after a few hours while it was cooking in the oven. Luckily, the door stayed closed and the Dutch oven fell straight down. It could have caused a major grease fire. Sears refuses to admit there is a problem with the steel used in the oven liner. Sears no longer stands behind their products. They say they are sorry. I am disappointed in the longevity of my stove. Well, yes, it is only 2 1/2 years old and this shouldnt be happening. It would have happened sooner had I used the self-cleaning oven feature which I have yet to do and it would have caused additional warping and bowing. I have an oven I paid $1000 for and is unusable because I, more than likely, will get burned or a fire will happen due to these racks no longer fitting.
This washer is large and handles my kids messy clothes easily. It is quiet and uses much less water than my previous washer. It can handle bulky loads with ease. We have had this washer for 5 years and have never had any issues to the need to call for a service repair. Best part is, if you follow the directions, dirty clothes come out clean! It isnt the most modern look, and it has a lot of different buttons, but it is a practical looking washer. The dial might be a bit antiquated looking, but it is easy to use. This washer is a little more expensive than others, but it is eco-friendly and cuts down on water use, which in drought-stricken areas makes it totally worth it. Plus, it is competitively priced with other front loaders.
I purchased my Kenmore electric glass cooktop approximately 10 years ago, and its been the worst stove my husband and I have ever had! Even from the beginning! It takes forever to heat up. Ive had cheap stoves that preheat in half the time than this stove and this one cost us a pretty penny! Not to mention the burners that are supposed to be quick boil, HA! Its like that old adage, a watched pot never boils! And the minute we got it home, liquid leaked down the vent holes and got between the glass, and there was nothing in the manual about how to clean it, so there it stayed, disgusting looking for the past 10 years, annoying the ** out of me. Until today when I saw something on Google and YouTube on how to clean that, FINALLY! So I did. Well, guess what? Those darn vents are extremely DANGEROUS! They are like razor blades. Sears should make those things so they are dull around the edges. I sliced my finger open on them and had to go to urgent care. Why is it so darn difficult to clean inside that glass anyway, yet so easy for it to get dirty? Nobody want drips of grease running down inside their glass forever! Disgusting! Ir to have to injure themselves trying to clean it. On top of that, now my oven front has a gap from the glass! What do I do? I hate Kenmore! Worst oven ever!
Kenmore has a good reputation as quality purchase. It never let me down before. Every time we have needed a new appliance the first thing my husband does is go to Sears and looks at Kenmore. I was replacing old appliances as they broke trying to get all white and the fridge was the first one I was able to do that. I like the filtered ice and water dispenser, side by side doors, moveable shelves, electric controls. It always kept food cold or frozen. The freezer had lots of shelves that were adjustable but I wish it could have been wider. I would have gotten a bigger one if had room for it.
It washes all my clothes and keeps them smelling fresh for longer. It is also gentle on softer fabrics and doesnt cause intimates to fall apart. It is also very convenient and easy to use. It provides the best value for what its worth. The machine has been working for 2 years and has not had any serious malfunctions and works as if its brand new. It looks modern and new. Every time I have people over, people are always complimenting and talking about how good the washer looks in the room. Fits the house perfectly. Totally worth the price. I would not pay anything less for a better value. If I had the option to choose another dryer, I would still choose the same brand.
I was recommended a Kenmore dishwashing machine by a close family friend. She loves hers, and it has met her expectations as well as my own. I like the sleekness of the design as well as the overall performance of this brand of appliance. I trust this brand very much. I would improve the noise level on the dishwasher, I feel that whenever it was running I was unable to concentrate on anything else. I often had to wait until late at night before going to bed to start the dishwasher, so that I was able to hear the television. It did not, however, interfere with my sleep. It was quite a satisfactory experience, and I would definitely purchase an appliance from the Kenmore brand again. I would also recommend this brand to anyone.
I am reviewing the Kenmore top loader High Efficiency 600S Series washer. The washer is terrible. It leaves a film of soap scum on all of my clothes. You can see it most on dark items, but it is there on all laundry. I have tried many variations of trouble-shooting. Nothing works. I have tried calling customer service multiple times, and the only thing they have done for me is to tell me is to use HE (high efficiency) detergent, which of course I am doing. I literally have to wash all of my clothes 3 times (the 2nd and 3rd time with no detergent) to get them clean. So, ultimately I have a useless, very inefficient washer. DO NOT PURCHASE this model. And given the poor customer service, I would not recommend Kenmore/Sears in general. Prior to this I was a fan of Sears products.
Got it on July 15. Sears offered me to extend my warranty after they replace the main board of a very expensive Kenmore elite refrigerator. New board warranty only for 90 days. Im suppose to keep expending money on a brand new appliance that is suppose to last at least 10 yrs.
I had it for several years and I didnt have a single problem with it. Best investment I ever made. Unfortunately after a long while it did break down. This washer or dryer was insanely reliable. In the time span that I owned this machine, it didnt break down a single time. There is nothing more reliable than this. This looked very modern in my house. It was very stylish. The best part about it is it is one of the only washer or dryers out there that look good and perform well. There is no other machine out there that you can get more out of your money for. It is relatively cheap and performs as if it were the most expensive washer our there.
I like very, its very good, always works well and is very efficient, is a leading brand in the market and works in an environment friendly manner, apart it does not damage the dishes and is very clean. Is very different from others I know. Dishwasher and its external appearance is very good, very consistent modern style of my kitchen, and is not noisy, and much access inside.
Stays really cool, especially in the summer when the kids are constantly opening and closing the door. I love the ice maker. Its usually in the triple digits and our old fridge couldnt keep up with the demand for icy cool drinks. I like the size because it holds a lot but it would be better with more space in the back. A bit too wide, had to remove counter space. I like the metal look but would prefer more color options. All of my kitchen appliances have been purchased to color coordinate. I would like to be able to coordinate with the fridge and stove as well. If the fridge lasts at least 7 years, Im very happy. I may upgrade before that depending on whether or not you can offer color options.
This washer is awful. Clothes dont smell clean and still have dirt on them no matter what detergent I use. Dryer gets my clothes and bedding dirty from the lint collector which does an awful job. I wouldnt recommend high heat with all the lint that gets past the screen. Horrible design... its a shame these companies cant make their products like they used to. More expensive and less reliable.
Our washer is great! We love it! I would definitely recommend this washer and dryer to others. We fit a full-size comforter in it no problem and it continues to run great too! I can do large loads in it that include towels and blankets as well! Our washer and dryer fits perfectly in our basement and is attractive enough to not hide. Its sleek but practical design is also what I love about it. It just looks great! The value is great because the cost is perfect and lasts years without any maintenance. It was well worth to buy this washer and dryer because it is cost efficient and lasts years without any problems. Now that eases the mind!
The dishwasher I had was very good and clean the dishes very good without having to wash the dishes first. It left quite a shine on the dishes when using a liquid washer. It was 36 in by 48 in high with wheels so that I could roll it around. It very Durable and lightweight. The kitchen was very small but got the job done. It was very light - maybe a white or a off white in color but very good looking dishwasher that I would recommended to family or friends. I know they would like it. It was very rate highly by myself and other that visit my house. The price was very reasonable and very well adjusted. The price was very low and I like that.
I like that it cleans really good and the spin is really quiet and silent. It can hold a lot of clothes and I also like that a lot. It is very reliable and convenient for anyone to have. It is really easy. Its really good and awesome. It is very white and pretty, a nice asset to my home. Very clean looking and I like that the door of it is on a unique spot. It makes it look so much better. It cleans the clothes - that is the first thing that comes to mind. Everyone should own one of these.
Numerous Fdl, F11 and vibration problems: I purchased the machine in mid 2005 with five-year extended warranty. I had the CCU on both washer and dryer replaced. I complained numerous times over the course of five years about vibration and tub actually banging against the case. Each time, the technicians would stonewall me saying they could not replicate the problem. I repaired the CCU again and vibration has gotten worse. Finally, I heard about class action lawsuit going forward, but now after three years out of extended warranty, I am ready to give up and buy an LG or Samsung. So my laundry pair lasted 8 years and cost me over $2,000. My previous set cost half that and lasted 14 years. No more Sears for me, sad to say. Frustrating, to say the least.
This refrigerator is perfect because it is low cost yet it is incredibly effective! It has settings so that you can choose how cold you would like to keep your refrigerator. It keeps my vegetables crisp and it is overall great for the value! Plus it is very easy to keep clean. This refrigerator is the perfect size because I can fit all of my groceries in it! It will easily hold 12 packs of soda or cases of water. In addition I am able to have plenty of room for all of my fruits and vegetables and meats.Overall the refrigerator in itself looks fine. It is modern in a nice way that is easy to keep clean. With it being white it matches and goes with any decor. I absolutely would recommend it because it is low cost yet very effective. When it comes to refrigerators they are usually pretty expensive. This refrigerator in particular is less expensive and you will not sacrifice quality. The quality is excellent. It keeps your food cold and it has a great section so the cold air does not escape.
I previously had Kenmore refrigerators for years, and I always was pleased with all of them. It had double doors and no ice maker, so there was plenty of room in the freezer. The shelves were movable, had three vegetable drawers and was easy to clean. However, the compressor went out and it was too expensive to fix it. Other than that I liked everything about it and I would still have it.
Previously owned a Kenmore Elite 4 washing machine and loved it but finally needed to get a new washer. Went with another Kenmore Elite, model #796.41482410. It does have a “clean washer” setting but it does not work so I use other methods to get the moldy smell out of the washer, plus I wipe the tube out and the rubber ring around the door as they get buildup on them. This is something I never had to do with my original washer. We do clean the filter by draining any excess water and cleaning the filter but the filter never has anything on it. All in all we just don’t feel like it washes as well as our old one which I would take back in a heartbeat. Wish I could have returned this one but we’re stuck with this one for a while.
I have had my washer for years and we have 6 people our house and of course, sometimes a daughter that washes 3 items, it has lasted through kids, grandkids and all!! It has lasted through being overloaded dozens of time plus a rocking rotor and a baby sock being stuck in the drum. I have even washed quilts and rugs. The overall appearance is not that flamboyant yet it does not need to be. I keep my washer/dryer combination clean and polished. I tried to wipe it down weekly. The value has gone beyond the passing point. The washer and dryer combo have stood up to generational use, baby use, grandparent use, cousin use.
Lot better than most, lasts longer, energy saving, has lot of storage, doesnt take much room. I would recommend this product to anyone who hasnt had it. Seems to fit just about any size kitchen. Has lot of room inside. It holds all my necessary items. I would 100 percent sure recommend this product to all my friends and families. This product is one of the best refrigerator I have ever had. It durable, doesnt take much space. Its usually affordable. If not most places will let you pay in payments or full whatever your prices can go. Its rather cheap than most fridges. Id recommend this product on its value to anyone who needs it.
