Kenmore Appliance Repair
Their trusted performance continues to be awarded by those who know them best, the consumers who have welcomed Kenmore into their homes for over 100 years.
Dishwasher Repair
For the home, kitchen and beyond, Kenmore manufactures appliances that homeowners have come to trust. Even a trustworthy appliance requires occasional maintenance or repair, however. If you’re in need of Kenmore appliance repair from experienced professionals, your local Appliance Helper can help.
Kenmore Dishwasher not cleaning
Water Inlet Valve. The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the dishwasher. If the valve is clogged or defective, the dishwasher won’t get enough water to clean dishes properly. If the water inlet valve is clogged, replace it. Do not attempt to clean the water inlet valve—cleaning the valve could make it more likely to fail.
Why Won't my Kenmore Dishwasher Drain?
Drain Impeller. The drain impeller pushes water through the drain hose and into the garbage disposer or drain line. If the impeller is broken, replace it.
Kenmore Dishwasher buttons not working
Touchpad. First, confirm that the dishwasher display is working. If the display is still working, try pressing some of the touchpad buttons. If some of the buttons respond correctly but others don’t, it is likely that the touchpad is at fault. (Some manufacturers sell the touchpad separately from the control panel. Other manufacturers require that you purchase the touchpad and control panel together. If you cannot replace the touchpad individually, replace the touchpad and control panel.)
Kenmore Dishwasher lights flashing or blinking
Heating Element. The heating element heats up the water to operating temperature. If the water doesn’t reach the proper temperature after a set amount of time, a light on the control panel might start flashing. To determine if the heating element has burned out, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the heating element does not have continuity, replace it.
Kenmore Dishwasher leaking
Water Inlet Valve. The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the dishwasher. If the water inlet valve is stuck open, the dishwasher will continue to fill with water until the dishwasher leaks or overflows. If the water inlet valve is at fault, replace it. Water inlet valves are not repairable—if the valve is defective, you must replace it.
Kenmore Dishwasher leaking from motor area
Impeller and Seal Kit. First, try to determine the source of the leak. If the water is leaking from the motor shaft area, the motor shaft seal is likely defective. If the seal is defective, replace it. (Some manufacturers sell the seal independently of the impeller. Other manufacturers require that you purchase the impeller and seal together. Still other manufacturers require that you purchase the entire pump and motor assembly instead of the impeller and seal. It is usually more cost effective to replace the impeller and seal kit rather than the pump and motor assembly.)
Kenmore Dishwasher won't start
Door Switch. The door switch prevents the dishwasher from running while the door is open. If the door switch is defective, the switch will prevent the dishwasher from running even when the door is closed. To determine if the door switch is at fault, use a multimeter to test the switch for continuity. If the switch does not have continuity, replace it.
Kenmore Dishwasher won't latch
Door Hinge. If the door hinges are damaged, the door won’t be able to latch properly. Inspect the door hinges for damage. If a hinge is bent or broken, replace it.
Kenmore Dishwasher dispenser not dispensing soap
Bi-Metal. The bi-metal actuator is a metal loop which acts as a latch for the dispenser door. As electricity is applied to the bi-metal, it deforms and bends away from the latch, releasing it. If the bi-metal is burned out, it won’t release the dispenser door. To determine if the bi-metal has burned out, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the bi-metal does not have continuity, replace it. In addition, make sure that the dishwasher is getting enough water. If the water level is too low, the wash motor may not draw enough current through the bimetal, causing the bimetal not to bend enough to work properly.
Dryer Repair
For the home, kitchen and beyond, Kenmore manufactures appliances that homeowners have come to trust. Even a trustworthy appliance requires occasional maintenance or repair, however. If you’re in need of Kenmore appliance repair from experienced professionals, your local Appliance Helper can help.
Kenmore Dryer won't start
Thermal Fuse. The thermal fuse is a safety device designed to protect the dryer from overheating. The fuse is located on the blower housing or at the dryer’s heat source such as the heating element on electric dryers or at the burner on gas models. The fuse should be closed for continuity meaning it has a continuous electrical path through it when good. If overheated the fuse will have no continuity meaning the electrical path is broken and the fuse has blown. A multimeter can be used to test it for continuity. Be aware that a blown thermal fuse is an indication of a restricted exhaust vent from the dryer to the outside. Always check the dryer venting when replacing a blown thermal fuse.
Kenmore Dryer stopped spinning
Drive Belt. The drive belt is a very long, slender belt that wraps all the way around the dryer drum, around a tension pulley, and then around the drive motor pulley. Over time, the belt can break from normal use. If the belt is broken, the dryer won’t turn. To quickly determine if the belt is broken, reach into the dryer and turn the drum by hand. If the drum spins very easily, the belt is likely broken. Next, inspect the belt to confirm that it is broken. If the belt is broken, replace it.

If the drum spins very easily, the belt is likely broken. Next, inspect the belt to confirm that it is broken. If the belt is broken, replace it.
Kenmore Dryer takes too long
Air Flow Problem. If the vent is clogged or partially clogged, it will restrict the airflow through the dryer, substantially increasing the drying time. To ensure proper dryer performance, you should clean your dryer’s venting system at least once per year.
Kenmore Dryer overheating
Heating Element. The heating element warms the air before the air enters the dryer drum. If the element is partially shorted out, it may produce heat continuously, even if the dryer has reached the proper temperature. When this happens, the dryer gets too hot. To determine if the heating element is at fault, use a multimeter to test each terminal for continuity to the case. If the heating element has continuity to the case, it is shorted out. If the heating element is shorted out, replace it.

Be aware that a blown thermal fuse is an indication of a restricted exhaust vent from the dryer to the outside. Always check the dryer venting when replacing a blown thermal fuse.
Kenmore Dryer tripping breaker
The Circuit Breaker is Weak. Over time, circuit breakers can weaken. If the circuit breaker is weak, it may trip too often, even if the amperage draw is below the limit. If you have already checked all of the potentially defective dryer components, consider having an electrician replace the circuit breaker.
Kenmore Dryer makes noise
Drive Belt. The drive belt is a very long, slender belt that wraps all the way around the dryer drum, around a tension pulley, and then around the drive motor. Over time, the drive belt can become frayed or otherwise damaged. If the drive belt is frayed or damaged, the dryer will be noisy as it turns. Inspect the drive belt for signs of wear. If the drive belt is worn, replace it.
Gas Grill Repair
The Grill Won’t Turn On
Whether your grill has a push-start igniter or is battery powered, there might come a time when your grill isn’t turning on or heating up like it used to. A grill that is battery operated sometimes needs a simple battery replacement. However, those with push-start igniters that won’t generate an initial spark could either mean that the igniter is clogged, it has a faulty button, or it needs a wiring repair. If it’s just a clog, you can easily find the affected igniter by removing the cooking grates to inspect the burners and clean them if needed. If it seems that the problem is button or wiring related, then you might need to contact a service technician to get these parts replaced.
The Flame Won’t Stay Lit
If your grill is turning on but the flames repeatedly extinguish, it could be caused from one of three common issues. First check and make sure that the grill is preheated properly and ready for a flame. Then, ensure that the tubes that connect the burner to the control valve are positioned directly over the valve orifice. Finally, make sure those tubes are clean, clear, and free of blockage. If the flame still remains in its stubborn ways, the igniter itself might need repaired or replaced by a service technician.
The Grill Produces Black Smoke
When your grill is producing a massive amount of smoke, especially black smoke, this usually means that it’s time for a cleaning. Excessive build-up of grease on your grill will not only smog out your kitchen, but it can also create a toxic black coating on your food. If black smoke is what’s holding back your grilling efforts, give it a good cleaning beforehand then preheat the grill for 15 minutes. This will help burn off any unwanted residue from previous use. If you are still seeing that ugly black smoke after cleaning, check and clean the venturi tubes and air shutters to make sure that it is producing a proper gas-to-air mixture.
The Grill Is Making Strange Noises
It’s common to hear a strange humming noise come from your grill. This sound is usually a result of environmental factors, such as air temperature, pressure or humidity. Sometimes humming noises can even mean that the gas tank is low or too full. If you are noticing that your grill is making unusual sounds, it’s important to first check your grill for any leaks. If the grill is leak-free, it could just mean that an air bubble is trapped in the gas hose. Your owner’s manual will most likely contain instructions on how to purge the hose. If the humming noise accompanies the alarming smell of propane, it’s time to turn the grill off completely and call a service technician for a professional inspection.
The Flame is Yellow or Orange
This problem is similar to that of black smoke, as it’s usually a result of a clogged venture tube. It would be beneficial to check the control valve and the tubes for any obstructions that might disturb the flow of the fuel. If you find that the tubes are just misaligned, you can easily adjust them by following the instructions in your owner’s manual.
The Grill Cooks Food Unevenly
The main culprit for a grill that cooks unevenly is a blocked burner. It’s very common for excess drippings to clog the ports along the sides of the burners. Check around the burners to ensure that they are producing a flame and use a wire brush to remove any deposits and promote a normal gas flow.
As with all commercial cooking appliances, it’s important to make sure that you are always practicing safe habits when troubleshooting a malfunctioning grill. Before inspecting any of these common issues, be sure that the tank valve is turned off, the grill is disconnected, and completely cooled down.

Microwave Repair
For the home, kitchen and beyond, Kenmore manufactures appliances that homeowners have come to trust. Even a trustworthy appliance requires occasional maintenance or repair, however. If you’re in need of Kenmore appliance repair from experienced professionals, your local Appliance Helper can help.
My Kenmore Microwave is Not Heating
Diode. The diode converts the A/C power output of the transformer to D/C, doubling the voltage to nearly 5,000 volts. This high voltage powers the magnetron to heat the food. If the diode burns out, the magnetron won’t receive enough voltage to operate, preventing the microwave from heating. When the diode fails, it is often visibly burned out. Inspect the diode and if the diode is burned out, replace it. If inspecting the diode proves inconclusive, test it with a multimeter that uses a 9-volt battery or put a 9-volt battery in series with the diode. When the leads are reversed, the diode should only have continuity in one direction. (Warning: The microwave oven can store a lethal amount of electricity in its high voltage capacitor, even after the microwave oven has been unplugged. Due to the high running voltage and the potential for electric shock, it is extremely dangerous to replace the electronic components in a microwave. Only a licensed technician should replace the diode.)
Kenmore Microwave not working
Line Fuse. If too much current passes through the microwave circuitry, the line fuse will blow. If the line fuse blows, the microwave won’t start. To determine if the line fuse is at fault, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the fuse does not have continuity, replace it. In addition, you should investigate and resolve the problem that caused the fuse to blow. If you don’t resolve the underlying issue, the new fuse will blow too. (Caution: The microwave oven can store thousands of volts of electricity in its high voltage capacitor, even after the microwave oven has been unplugged. Due to the potential for electric shock, it is extremely dangerous to replace the electronic components in a microwave. Only a licensed technician should replace the line fuse.)
Kenmore Microwave light bulb not working
Light Bulb. The light bulb itself might be burned out. Replace the light bulb before replacing any of the parts associated with the light bulb
Kenmore Microwave shuts off after a few seconds
Door Switch. A door switch might be failing intermittently. Check each of the door switches for signs of overheating, arcing, or burning. If you don’t see any obvious signs of failure, use a multimeter to test each switch for continuity. If any of the switches is visibly damaged or only has intermittent continuity, replace it.
Kenmore Microwave turntable not turning
Turntable Motor. Use a multimeter to test the motor for continuity. If the turntable motor does not have continuity, replace it.
Kenmore Microwave buttons not working
Touchpad. To determine if the touchpad is defective, try pressing each of the buttons on the control panel. If some of the buttons respond correctly while others don’t, replace the touchpad.
Kenmore Microwave display not working
Main Control Board. If the display goes out partially, the display board is more commonly at fault. If the display isn’t working at all, either the main control board or the display board could be at fault.
Kenmore Microwave turns on by itself
Main Control Board. First, make sure that the touchpad is working properly. If the touchpad is working properly, the main control board is likely at fault. If the control board is defective, replace it.
Kenmore Microwave is sparking or arcing
Waveguide Cover. The waveguide cover might be damaged and shorting out. Try removing the waveguide cover and see if the problem resolves. If the waveguide cover is burnt or will not stay in place, replace it.
Range Repair
For the home, kitchen and beyond, Kenmore manufactures appliances that homeowners have come to trust. Even a trustworthy appliance requires occasional maintenance or repair, however. If you’re in need of Kenmore appliance repair from experienced professionals, your local Appliance Helper can help.
My Kenmore Oven is Not Heating
Igniter. The igniter is the most commonly defective part for an oven not heating. The igniter has two main functions. First, the igniter draws electrical current through the oven safety valve to open it. Second, the igniter gets hot enough to glow and ignite the gas in the oven burner. If the igniter gets weak, it will fail to open the safety valve correctly. If the valve does not open, the oven will not heat. To determine if the igniter is defective, observe the igniter when the oven is on. If the igniter glows for more than 90 seconds without igniting the gas flame, this indicates that the igniter is too weak to open the valve. If the igniter is weak, replace it. If the igniter does not glow at all, use a multimeter to test the igniter for continuity. If the igniter does not have continuity, replace it.
Kenmore Oven doesn't bake evenly
Bake Element. If the bake element is burned out, the oven will only be heated by the broil element. This will cause the oven to heat unevenly. When the bake element is heating properly, it glows red hot. If the element does not glow red, this indicates that the element is not heating. Often, if the element has burned out, it will be visibly damaged. Inspect the bake element for holes or blisters. To determine if the bake element has burned out, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the bake element does not have continuity, replace it..
Kenmore Oven broiler not working
Broil Element. The broiler element may have burned out. When the broil element is heating properly, it glows red hot. If the element does not glow red, this indicates that the element is not heating. Often, if the element has burned out, it will be visibly damaged. Inspect the broil element for holes or blisters. To determine if the broil element has burned out, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the broil element does not have continuity, replace it.
Kenmore Stove heating element not working
Surface Element Board. The surface element board has relays that regulate the power supply to the burners. If one or more of the relays fails, the surface element won’t work. If two or more burners fail at the same time, this indicates that the surface element board is likely at fault. If only one surface element won’t work, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the surface element has continuity, the surface element board might be defective.
Kenmore Stove burner won't light
Spark Module. The spark modules provides power to each surface burner spark electrode. If the burner is produces a weak spark, or if the burner sparks intermittently, the spark module might be defective. Before replacing the spark module, first check the spark electrode and the spark wire. If the spark electrode and spark wire are not at fault, the spark module is likely defective. If the spark module is defective, replace it.
Kenmore Oven temperature not accurate
Bake Element. When the bake element is heating properly, it glows red hot. If the element does not glow red, this indicates that the element is not heating. Often, if the heating element has burned out, it will be visibly damaged. Inspect the heating element for holes or blisters. To determine if the bake element has burned out, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the bake element does not have continuity, replace it.
Kenmore Oven light is out
Light Assembly. If the oven light is out, the entire light assembly may need to be replaced. Often the light assembly components are not sold separately.
My Kenmore Stove Oven's Not Working
Bake Element. When the bake element is heating properly, it glows red hot. If the element does not glow red, this indicates that the element is not heating. Often, if the heating element has burned out, it will be visibly damaged. Inspect the heating element for holes or blisters. To determine if the bake element has burned out, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the bake element does not have continuity, replace it.
Kenmore Oven not self-cleaning
Door Lock Motor and Switch Assembly. During the oven's self-cleaning cycle, the door lock switch activates the door lock motor to prevent the oven door from being opened. If the door lock motor and switch assembly is defective, the oven door will not unlock once the self-cleaning cycle is complete. On most ovens, you can open the oven door by removing certain screws or panels. Check your owner's manual for further instructions.
Refrigerator Repair
For the home, kitchen and beyond, Kenmore manufactures appliances that homeowners have come to trust. Even a trustworthy appliance requires occasional maintenance or repair, however. If you’re in need of Kenmore appliance repair from experienced professionals, your local Appliance Helper can help.
Kenmore Refrigerator not cooling
Condenser Coils are Dirty. The condenser coils are usually located under the refrigerator. They dissipate heat as refrigerant passes through them. If the condenser coils are dirty, they won’t dissipate the heat effectively. As debris builds up on the coils, the refrigerator becomes less efficient, causing the refrigerator to work harder to cool down. If the coils are significantly dirty, the refrigerator will not be able to maintain the proper temperature. Check the condenser coils to determine if they are dirty—if the condenser coils are dirty, clean them.
My Kenmore refrigerator water dispenser's Not Working
Water Tube in Door is Frozen. To determine if the water supply tube is frozen, disconnect the tube at the bottom of the door and blow air through it. If air does not pass through, this indicates that the water supply tube is frozen. If the water supply tube is frozen, thaw it out. In addition, ensure that the freezer is kept at the proper temperature. The freezer temperature should be kept from 0-10 degrees Fahrenheit. If the freezer is too cold, the water line may freeze.
My Kenmore Refrigerator is not making ice
Freezer Temperature is Above 10 Degrees F (-12C). If the freezer temperature is above 10 degrees Fahrenheit (-12C), the ice maker will not produce ice cubes efficiently. The freezer temperature should be set between 0 and 5 degrees Fahrenheit (-18 to -15C) for the ice maker to work properly. If the freezer temperature is too high, ensure that the condenser coils are clear of debris and the condenser fan is working properly. In addition, check to see if frost has accumulated on the evaporator coils. If the evaporator coils are frosted over, part of the defrost system has likely failed.
Kenmore Refrigerator ice dispenser not working
Dispenser Control Board. The dispenser control board governs most of the functions of the dispenser system. If the control board is faulty, it may stop supplying power to the entire dispenser system. If only one dispenser part is not working, test each of the dispenser components before testing the control board. It is more likely that a single part has failed. If the entire dispenser system is not working, the control board is more likely to be at fault.
Kenmore Refrigerator not defrosting
Defrost Control Board. The defrost control board determines how often to run the defrost cycle. If the board fails, the refrigerator will not go into the defrost cycle. Before replacing the defrost control board, first test the defrost heater and defrost thermostat. If the defrost heater and defrost thermostat are working properly, the defrost control board is likely defective.
Kenmore Refrigerator is noisy or loud
Fan Blade. If the refrigerator is noisy or loud, especially when one of the doors are opened, either the evaporator or condenser fan blade may be at fault. First, check out the evaporator fan blade in the freezer behind the back panel. Try turning it by hand. If the fan blade does not turn freely, check to see if the blade is rubbing against something or if something is caught in the blade. Additionally, check the condenser fan blade in the back underside of the refrigerator to determine if it has any obstructions.
Kenmore Refrigerator defrost drain clogged
Clogged or Freezing Defrost Drain. The defrost drain might be clogged or frozen. If the defrost drain is frozen, the water will overflow the drain trough and drip down to the bottom of the compartment. If the defrost drain is frozen, thaw it out and ensure that the drain is clear of debris.
Kenmore Refrigerator freezer is cold but refrigerator is warm
The Evaporator Coils are Frosted Over. The defrost heater assembly turns on a few times throughout the day to melt away any frost that may have accumulated on the evaporator coils. If the defrost heater assembly is defective, frost will continue to accumulate on the evaporator coils, and the coils will become plugged with frost. If the evaporator coils are frosted over, the airflow through the coils will be restricted, causing the refrigerator not to cool. Check the evaporator coils to determine if they are frosted over. If the evaporator coils are frosted over, test each component of the defrost system.
Kenmore Refrigerator leaking water
Clogged or Freezing Defrost Drain. If the defrost drain is frozen, the water will overflow the drain trough and drip down to the bottom of the compartment. This water can eventually leak onto the floor. Check the defrost drain to determine if it is clogged or frozen. If the defrost drain is frozen, thaw the ice. In addition, flush the drain with hot water to ensure that it is clear of debris.
Washer Repair
For the home, kitchen and beyond, Kenmore manufactures appliances that homeowners have come to trust. Even a trustworthy appliance requires occasional maintenance or repair, however. If you’re in need of Kenmore appliance repair from experienced professionals, your local Appliance Helper can help.
Kenmore Washer won't spin
Lid Switch Assembly. The lid switch assembly prevents the washer from spinning when the lid is open. If the lid switch assembly fails, the washer will not spin. To determine if the lid switch assembly is defective, use a multimeter to test the lid switch for continuity. If the lid switch does not have continuity, replace it.
Kenmore Washer is making loud noise
Bearing. The tub bearing is mounted in the middle of the outer tub. The tub bearing helps to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. Replacing the tub bearing is a very involved repair and will require disassembling most of the washer. If the tub bearing is defective, we recommend replacing both the outer tub and bearing.
Kenmore Washer won't agitate
Agitator Repair Kit. If the washer won't agitate, replacing the agitator repair kit may solve the problem. The kit contains the agitator components that are most likely to wear out and/or fail. If any of the parts are worn out, stripped, or damaged, replace the kit.
Kenmore Washer won't drain
Drain Pump. Sometimes, small objects or articles of clothing can get caught in the drain pump. To determine if anything is blocking the drain pump, remove the drain pump and check the pump for obstructions. If the drain pump is clear of obstructions, but is still noisy during the drain cycle, replace the drain pump.
Kenmore Washer vibrating or shaking
Shock Absorber. One or more of the shock absorbers might be broken or worn out. The shock absorbers dampen the vibration of the washer tub. If one or more of the shock absorbers are worn out, the washer will vibrate or shake. Sometimes, when a washer is moved to another location, the shock absorbers can separate. Check the shock absorbers to ensure that they are positioned correctly, and inspect them for damage and wear. If one or more of the shock absorbers are broken or worn out, we recommend replacing all of the shock absorbers as a preventative measure.
Kenmore Washer fills slowly or will not fill at all
Water Inlet Valve. The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the washing machine. If the water inlet valve is defective, the wash may fill slowly or not fill at all. The water inlet valve requires sufficient water pressure to function properly. First, check the water pressure to determine that it is adequate. If the water pressure is adequate, try cleaning the screens inside the water inlet valve hose connection ports. If the washer still fills slowly, replace the water inlet valve.
Kenmore Washer leaking water
Drain Pump. The drain pump pumps water out the drain hose. If the drain pump is cracked or damaged, or if the bearings are worn out, the drain pump may leak water. The drain pump is not repairable—if the pump is leaking water, replace it.
Kenmore Washer won't start
Timer. The timer is frequently misdiagnosed—before replacing the timer, first check all of the more commonly defective parts. To determine if the timer is defective, consult your washer’s wiring diagram and use a multimeter to test the timer for continuity.
Kenmore Washer won't spin or agitate
Drive Belt. Inspect the drive belt to determine if it is broken or if it is loose on the pulleys. If the drive belt is broken or loose, replace it.
Water Heater Repair
For the home, kitchen and beyond, Kenmore manufactures appliances that homeowners have come to trust. Even a trustworthy appliance requires occasional maintenance or repair, however. If you’re in need of Kenmore appliance repair from experienced professionals, your local Appliance Helper can help.
Smelly hot water
Certain water conditions cause a reaction between the anode rod and supply water, which results in hydrogen sulfide gas being dissolved in the tank water. The hydrogen sulfide gas emerges in the hot tap water causing a rotten-egg smell. Installing a less-reactive aluminum alloy anode rod and chlorinating the water supply system eliminates the rotten-egg smell in hot water.
Water temperature too hot
First, adjust the thermostat setting to lower the water temperature if the thermostat is set above 130 degrees. The 120-degree setting is standard. If 120-degree water is too hot for you to use, try setting the thermostat at 110 degrees. Next, check the thermostats. The upper and lower thermostats in an electric water heater must fit snug against the tank to properly transfer heat in order for thermostats to detect the water temperature correctly. To check the thermostats, turn off the power to the water heater and remove the thermostat access covers. Check the thermostats' positions and adjust the thermostat brackets if necessary to press the thermostats against the side of the tank.
Water not hot enough
Carefully adjust the thermostat setting if it's set below 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Adjust the temperature setting in small increments to avoid producing scalding hot water. You shouldn't need to adjust the temperature above 130 degrees. Setting the thermostat above 130 degrees can produce water that's too hot. Sometimes, you'll use up the hot water in the tank and you'll need to wait for the tank to recover before the water is fully heated. Consider replacing your water heater with a larger capacity model if your current model doesn't supply enough hot water to meet your needs. A 40-gallon water heater typically supplies enough hot water for a family of four with normal water use.
No hot water
For electric water heaters, check both house circuit breakers for the water heater. Reset the circuit breakers by shutting them off and then flipping them back on. A gas water heater will have a single circuit breaker. Reset that circuit breaker the same way-shut it off and flip it back on. If the electric water heater doesn't begin to heat after resetting the circuit breakers, shut the breakers off and press the reset button for the high-temperature limit switch on the upper thermostat of the water heater. If the water heater works for a while and then trips the high-temperature limit switch again, you'll likely need to replace a failed thermostat that's causing the element to heat constantly.
Not enough hot water
A failed heating element or defective thermostat could result in not having enough hot water. Examine your thermostats and elements and replace any defective components. A buildup of sediment in the bottom of the tank can also result in not having enough hot water. Shut off the electricity and water supply to the water heater and then drain the tank to flush out tank sediment. Refill the tank before restoring electrical power to an electric water heater to avoid damaging the heating elements.
Pressure relief valve is dripping water
Replace the pressure relief valve if it leaks and the water heater isn't overheating. If the water is overheating, the dripping could be because the overheating tripped the valve. Shut off the circuit breakers and check the thermostats and heating elements. A failed thermostat can cause the element to heat constantly, resulting in overheating. A heating element shorted to the metal tank or cabinet will also heat constantly and cause overheating.
Water in the drain pan
When you see water in the water heater drain pan, check for leaks at the water pipe fittings. Tighten the water pipe connections if necessary. Check the drain valve and temperature-pressure relief valve for leaks. Replace the drain valve or relief valve if they leak. For an electric water heater, check the heating elements for leaks when you see the water heater drain pan full of water. Tighten an element if it's loose. Replace a heating element if damaged.

They guy at the store recommended Kenmore Refrigerators. I liked it and it was the right size. It was in my budget and I’m very pleased with it. It was in stock and they were able to bring and put it in right away. It has worked great. It keeps food just the right temp and food always stays fresh. Shelves are sized nicely and it is not noisy which I like. But why do all appliances look the same? I like something different and I wish they came in different colors, like red. And I wish the ice cubes were a different shape. The freezer seems small to me and should be bigger as well.
The dishwasher cleans well with minimal issues. It runs quiet as well. Occasionally the detergent dispenser gets stuck and I have to rerun a cycle. I can put most size of items in the washer without blocking too much of the water flow. Some baking sheets are difficult but if you put them on the side you can tilt them to fit in to the space. Mine has a stainless steel face. It just wipe it water mostly and go behind with a dry cloth. It does scratch easily by the dog. We had a mouse hiding under it and my dog scratched it up near the bottom. I guess it was a good value for the price. It was part of our appliance package with our new house so we didnt buy directly but through our builder.
On July 25, 2011, I first called Sears to report that my Kenmore Elite H5t washing machine was not working. The error code was an F35, which means the overflow switch needed to be replaced. An appointment was scheduled for August 3, 2011. My daughter sat home for hours waiting for the tech to arrive, which they never did. They claimed that they called both my home and cell. No such calls were placed, as I have caller ID at home and my cell identifies the phone number. When asked why they never showed up, I was told by Sears Service that the appointment that I received was a forced appointment not a saved. I was a bit taken back by their answer. Wow! I had no idea that an appt took on a totally whole new meaning; where was I when this took place.Anyhow, I had to reschedule another appt for August 10, 2011 and made sure I requested a saved appt this time. I further told Sears Service that there was not only an F35 code but now an F20 code as well, which means an inflow water restrictions. I told Sears that there was no water restriction into the machine nor was there a drop in water pressure. When the Sears Tech arrived on August 10, 2011, he replaced the overflow switch and told my daughter that the machine was fixed. Yet, when I attempted to do a load of wash on August 12, 2011, the machine was showing the F20 again. I called Sears Service again and told them that the Sears Tech never fixed the problem with the F20 on August 10, 2011. Sears Service informed me that there were no notes on my file of the Tech performing a diagnostic test, in which he should have done to determine what was causing the F20 code. So I had to schedule another appt for August 22, 2011. Mind you, I made sure I asked if this appt was a saved or forced appt. I was now told by Sears Service that they had away with the forced appt sometime in the beginning of August 2011. I was like this is unbelievable. When the Sears Tech (Jeff-excellent tech) arrived on August 22, 2011, I told him that I believed that it was the PC Board that needed to be replaced because the display panel was showing all sorts of characters and shapes. He did a diagnostic test and confirmed that the control board did need to be replaced and would order the part and that another Sears Tech would be back on August 31, 2011 to install the control board. I told Jeff that I would be contacting Sears Service to confirm said appt. I did such on August 24, 2011 and all was confirmed with the Sears Service Dept for August 31, 2011.Well, August 31, 2011 came and guess what? Once again, the Sears Tech never showed up or even called leaving my daughter waiting for hours again. By this point, I was livid and demanded to speak with a Sears Service Manager. The Manager apologized and offers me a laundry credit for every 7 days that Im unable to use my machine but fails to tell me that there is a cap on this laundry credit of $100. I informed the Manager that the time constrains that Sears places on its customers waiting for a Sears Tech to arrive is unreasonable and especially for people who are key employees of their company cant leave their job or are made to wait for hours for Sears to show up. More so, it put my daughters new job at risk because she had to request 3 separate times off from her job for a Sears appt; of which 2 of the times Sears never showed up and the other time the Tech never fixed the machine. Her employer told her in a joking fashion that she was making a lot of demands for a new employee requesting so much time off. The Sears Service Manager apologized and now offered me a Saturday appt. This was news to me, as I was told in the past that appts were only scheduled between Monday-Friday.Now an appt for Saturday, September 10, 2011 was scheduled for a Sears Tech to install the control board between 8am-12pm. At 9:37am the morning of my appt, Sears left a message on my home phone that they were experiencing a high volumes of delays in the field and would not be at my home during the scheduled time but later. I immediately contacted Sears Service requesting to speak with a Manager but each time I was disconnected. By the fourth call, Sears Service assured me that I would not be disconnected. Well, they did not disconnect me. However, what they did was, instead of connecting me to a Manager, they connected me to another irate customer that was also holding for a Manager.I finally gave up! The Sears Tech (Jeff) finally came that day and replaced the control board and did a complete diagnostic test of the entire machine and told me that all was good. I proceeded to do wash by the third load the machine was now displaying an F17 code. I contacted Jeff on his cell and informed him of this error code F17. He told me that there is no such thing as an F17 with this washing machine. I was like Jeff I do know how to read and it says F17. I took a picture my washing machine with the F17 code flashing for proof (date and time of picture was 9/10/11 @ 5:37pm). Jeff told me to stop the machine and restart the wash cycle, I did and the same thing again an F17; the wash just stops in the middle/end of the cycle leaving the machine full of water with wet clothes. Jeff told me that I would have to make another appt with Sear Service.At this point, I am so livid, I contacted Sear Service and told them to just give me a new machine and be done with it already. They informed me of their lemon law that the machine has to have 4 separate problems within a 12 month prior, before they will even consider replacing it. Heres the kicker, ultimately even after the 4th time, its up to their discretion if they want to replace the machine or not. I am so done with Sears!
I thought I would never have good smelling towels again and the washer did the trick. It can really hold a lot of clothing inside. Overall very happy with it. Its performance is long lasting. This washer is very reliable I can always count on it to wash all of my heavy loads of clothing exactly when I need it. I hardly ever have any technical issues with it. This washer has a generally attractive appearance. When I originally bought this washer it was on sale and I think I am satisfied with the value of it. The warranty is great and its worth the money to have fresh smelling clothes.
I remodeled my kitchen (March 2015) and wanted to have reliable appliances that had nice features and looked nice. I purchased a Refrigerator (4674033), stove (2275233), dishwasher (2212773) and over the range microwave (2280333). $6000 worth of appliances... So far the dishwasher had a defect in the basin that leaked and destroyed my new floor. The Refrigerator frosted over and was out of commission for 2 weeks waiting for a new circuit board for a known issue. And now the gasket on the door to my stove is peeling off. These appliances were supposed to be top of the line Kenmore Elite. They have been nothing but a headache and who knows what is in store in the future.
It is perfect for a smaller family home. I grocery shop at least once a week and there is always plenty of room for everything. It always has kept my food at cool temperature. The have never had trouble out of the freezer or cooling elements. This refrigerator has been perfect for my family of four. Everything I buy has always fit in either freezer or refrigerator part. I always have to be careful not to stack too high in freezer cause it tends to shoot all the cold air into fridge part. It offers a original and simplistic view of a refrigerator. It is perfect for our older house. I like that it doesnt take up too much room and it is simple to maintain its appearance. It offers everything someone absolutely has to have in a fridge. It is a necessity and this refrigerator is a wonderful value with it offering a freezer part also. Its big enough for a family to use.
I enjoy our Kenmore fridge. It has plenty of space for a lot of groceries. If I had to say on anything negative it would be how hard it is to clean out ice drawer. It has made the ice have a funny taste and theres even been debris - maybe rust.
The performance is excellent because each and every time we use it, it does the job beautifully by cleaning the dishes, glassware, utensils, without any stains or food particles left on them. The size is quite wonderful for our home as it does not take up much space and fits very nicely into our kitchen. It is able to accommodate the family dishes, glassware, utensils, without any problem. It looks quite nice and blends in very well with our entire kitchen decor. It is a very rugged outer appearance that looks very nice and quaint while not being flimsy or inadequate in appearance. The value is fantastic. The price we paid was much less than we anticipated as we checked out other brands. For the service we receive, the inexpensive price goes above and beyond our expectations.
The Kenmore Washer Elite Oasis works fine till the ending number 6 rinse. Last couple of years, the problems are way too many with the machine. It cost good money. Please help me!
I bought a Kenmore Bottom Freezer Refrigerator 795.76203.901 about 2 years ago, and it is THE worst major appliance I have ever bought. This is supposed to be a high-quality appliance @ $1400, but it is now on its third major problem in 2 years. My previous GE did not have one service problem in 23 years. Twice, the Kenmore has stopped cooling altogether, once from a motherboard failure and the other time from a defect in the defrosting unit. Both times, it took the Sears/Kenmore service people 2+ weeks to be able to come out to fix it. Try going without a refrigerator for 2 weeks. Either local Sears/Kenmore does not employ enough service people, or the problem rate is so high they cant keep up, or both. Now, the refrigerator light switch has burned out. Whats next?
I purchased a top-of-the-line Kenmore refrigerator in February 2013. On May 26, 2013, after being away for a couple of days, I came home to water on the floor and my refrigerator not working. An error message came up on the display. When I called Kenmore, they told me they couldnt have a repairman out for a couple of days. I lost hundreds of dollars of food. The repairman showed up last night and said it needed over $500 in parts and it would take 10 days to get them. He told us we should buy their extended warranty because he gets a lot of complaints about these new refrigerators that have a lot of electronics. They want over $700 for a four-year warranty. I think I got a lemon and deeply regret buying it. Why would I want to pay $4,000 for a refrigerator that breaks down spoiling all my food and a tremendous inconvenience and then be asked to spend another $700 to make sure the refrigerator works for at least 4 years?! Sears needs to go bankrupt. It is the last thing I will buy from them!
We had our machines for over 7 years, then gave them to our daughter and bought new ones. Kenmore was a trusted brand by my parents also. While traveling, we stopped at a pay laundromat and they had all Kenmore washers and dryers in the facility.
It came with the apartment that I rented and it matches the rest of the appliances. It is a basic dishwasher though and not like the fancier brands and models. This dishwasher has certain limitations, it doesnt do too much and sometimes it floods. Its good for washing dishes but I wish it would fit more dishes and wasnt so loud. However, I like that it has hot and cold and it has a rinse cycle feature.
It was a dishwasher, it filled with water and then cleaned the dishes. Not some great invention, just an easier way to get around a chore. It fit all dishes and was compact. Could fit anything in there even a bowling ball. Would have preferred black but white came with the house. Looked nice but I didnt use often.
It was very dependable when I had it. I had no problems with it from what I recall. It worked at all times and cleaned the clothes well. It wasnt too noisy but it did its job. I would expect a hassle free product from Sears since the expectation is that it would be very reliable and competitively priced product.
They always work well and will run forever. Easy to get parts and to have repaired. Very economical to run and the clothes are clean. I would recommend them and would purchase another one in a heartbeat. Great appliance. I have owned 2 and they have always worked well and lasted a long time. My clothes are always clean and smell fresh. Local company, made in America. Sears carries parts and will service them.
Its an easy to use appliance, and in all the years Ive had it and used it there have been no problems with its operation! It does need to be cleaned to keep working well, but its worth it to have such a great washer and dryer. It also had a lot of settings so you can safely wash delicate items or avoid shrinking your favorite shirt! Its an incredibly reliable washer and dryer system. Ive had to clean it out a few times, but its normal. Its also great at washing all size loads. Ive had large loads of towels, and each one had come out clean and then were able to dry easily.They can sit side by side or they can be stacked on top of one another. I have mine sitting side by side and arent too bulky and certainly arent an eyesore. Overall they look sleek, modern, and simple. My washer and dryer systems were an excellent value. For how well they work, how it looks, and how long they have lasted me I got a great value. It also was a good price for all the features they have like being front loading & having multiple washing and drying options.
We purchased this in April 2016. We used it about 5 times before troubles began. The machine would stop mid cycle, would not drain. Unless I stood there and watched it, there was no telling when it had stopped. A Sears repairman came out to fix it. He did a reset on it, suggested I unplug it after every wash in case a power outage happened, and told me he would definitely be back for future repairs. Now it is January 2017. We use the machine for maybe three washes a week, since its a second home. The washer stops mid cycle. Doesnt drain. The sensor clicks on and off. Its super fun. I start it, optimistically, on a normal cycle. I hear it stop working, find it full of water. I do a drain/spin. Seems logical - its full of water! It doesnt usually work. I unplug/restart again, do a rinse/spin. Works! But my clothes havent been washed. Unplug/restart express wash a few times. Tonight I actually handwashes my kids clothes. Thank god the dryer works every time. I dont think we will even waste the $75 on the repairman. Never again, Kenmore. Hard to believe this machine hasnt been recalled.
I bought a top of the line front loading Kenmore washer with Steam. I had it exactly a year and two days when I had to call a repairman because it was leaking water all over my basement. He said it was because the door was not closing completely and sealing; so, the water is leaking out. I told him that it was not coming from the front of the washer. He did not agree. The clothes that remain in the machine overnight come out smelling like mold wicked bad! The water is now pouring out of the washer and causing mold to grow all over my basement! I called for repair and they want to charge me $89 to come to my home and more for parts and labor! This machine is the biggest piece of junk I have ever owned and that is saying something! I stupidly trust that the companies that my parents believed in are the same today as they were when I was a kid. We had Kenmore washers and dryers for 10 years before having a problem with 8 people living in the home and doing their laundry!! UNBELIEVABLE!! Never, Never Again!!
I love my washer and dryer. They work well and hold up well under extreme usage, and they last!! Whether its one load, or ten loads, I know I can count on my washer and dryer to take care of them quickly and efficiently. Doesnt matter how many loads of clothes I have to do, I know I can rely on my washer and dryer to help me get the job done fast and efficiently. Nothing fancy, but fancy isnt what cleans your clothes. They look like a washer and dryer are supposed to look like, top load washer, front load dryer. I know I have more than gotten my moneys worth out of my set, and its still going strong. Believe its gonna last for more years to come. Its the best money I have spent in a long time.
Works well and has a good sound when cleaning. I like the quietness of the product and length it takes to run the dishwashing cycle. I dont have to rinse dishes before I put them in the dishwasher. Nice, efficient size for any kitchen. I can fit any dish, pot, or pan into the machine and it will be clean. I dont have to separate the silverware exactly. Price was good and I got what I paid for. Didnt have to purchase an expensive product to get the cleaning power that I needed to get my dishes clean.
I couldnt ask for better. Everything was chilled perfect and the freezer kept everything frozen without too much frost. Plenty of room for my 6 member household. I know for a family of six it was more than enough room so if your family is 6 or less it would be a wonderful fit both top and bottom. We had two 18 pound turkeys in the freezer and still had more than enough room for more not to mention the inside door space. I think as far as looks you cant be disappointed. Its sleek clean and above all goes with all decor. If your look is modern, old fashion, or just whatever works, I think its a universal type of appliance. If I had to make a choice on what type of refrigerator I could buy, have ,or be gifted I cant say I could think of another one that would in my opinion surpass the quality and capacity of the one I have. Great size, check. Great look, check. Big bang for your buck, check. What more could you need.
Easy to use front loading washer. Large load to small load it does the job. HE detergent is the best way to go with this washer. Im enjoying mine. Hope you will enjoy yours. King size bed comforter and the sheets not a problem to do them all together. Towels that is another large wash regular washer five to eight towels tops. This one I have not really pushed it but easy fourteen in one load. I have the dryer as well and it dryers them in roughly thirty-two minutes. It is bigger than your normal machines, but it doesnt seem that much bigger. Hard to picture I know. They are actually a sleek looking machine. Weird to think of a washer that way, but it the best way to describe it. It is a bit pricier, but you will see where you save money. It is an HE machine uses less electric, less water, and if you get HE detergent you use less of it. The other thing nice about HE detergent is you can run your waste water to save a tree and it will water the tree with no harm to the environment.
Easy to use. It got all the dishes clean. Didnt leave any grease on the dish. No streaks on the glasses. I liked using my dishwasher. Made doing dishes easier to wash. It was the right size to fit all of my dish that we use at one time. It was able to make clean up after a family meal a lot better. I dont mind doing the dishes when we have company. I use to do dish by hand but now it is nice to have a dishwasher to do them. You just rinse dishes off and put in dishwasher turn on and you are done. My dishwasher is white build in to the wall. It has 3 settings. It is easy to use. It worked very well. I like to use my dishwasher better than doing dishes by hand. It dont leave no spots on my glasses. I love the soap that you have to use. I am satisfied with what the dishwasher cost. We got a good deal. It saves time and money. My husband will put in a load of dishes in the dishwasher to help out. I love that. Before he would never think to do dishes.
We bought the Kenmore elite refrig. and electric cook stove. Both a piece of junk. Have had 3 yrs now and nothing but trouble... Refrig, compressor, blowers and other things have went out. The cook stove the panels kept going out, which we have gotten rid of and went back to our gas stove. The refrig. has another problem. It is showing the error F1. They will be out tomorrow to check it and it has only been about 3 months since the compressor and blowers were fixed... We are also having problem with the bottom freezer compartment. It keeps coming off its track... I recommend not spending your hard earned money on these two products... They are junk.
Fast and efficient. Very pleased. Great features and easy to use. Faster than the previous washer. Somewhat noisy, but does the job. Can handle loads of clothing. Is reliable and dont have to worry about if clothes will be washed or not especially for big loads of clothing. Had it for a long time and doesnt disappoint. Looks clean and simple. Does not take up too much space. Ergonomic design which makes it environment-friendly. Good appearance, worth the money. The money is worth the value. Durable. Clothes come out clean and warm. No issues with the machine since bought.
Very well made. Had them for many years and were used many, many times. They were handed down to my daughter to use with her family. I only had to change belts once on washer and twice on dryer.
I wanted to buy a new oven for my 88 year old mother who lives in a mobile home. There was only one model, Kenmore 24inch, white, gas model that fit her space. This oven was bought site unseen as there were no floor models available. Installed and with all the extra charges the cost was $1600. The oven itself was 1499.00. I live in another area so upon visiting my mother and seeing the new oven which has absolutely NO BELLS OR WHISTLES. This is a basic on off oven and broiler. OH it does have a clock... What a piece of garbage!!! The design is stupid with broiler in a bottom drawer, its barely hot enough on HI to broil anything, the door corners were chipped, the oven glass steams up when using the broiler, the temperature gauge is way off in the oven, the installation looks cheap and incomplete. If I had seen all of this within the 30 day return period this oven would be returned... But my only recourse now is to inform anyone who might be considering this oven to consider that the only pro...is that it is cheap in every way!
It was a great washer to have used for many years in my household. It made washing easy and sufficient to clean my clothing. Kenmore has always been one of the brands Ive stuck with and will always be. It always provided me with the best washing experience possible. There was never a moment when it didnt satisfy my needs to get my clothing clean. It was an extremely well-made washer that my family and I used for many years. It was compact and did not take up so much space, and we were able to move it from one house to another house easily. Having an sufficient washer made it easy to get all my clothing, sheets, and other things in my household washed quickly. It was definitely great in a big household of people.
I really like both of the machines. I feel like they do a good job washing and drying. Never had to reload clothes because they were not done properly. Also never experienced any breakage with clothes.
Model #596.72213200 - On Wednesday, December 3rd my 84 year old mother opened the refrigerator door only to have it fall off and pull her down to the floor. Everything fell on the floor and broken glass was everywhere. I had her dial 911 for emergency help. She is bruised and sore from the fall. We had our appliance man, Paul Long Appliances come to fix the door and he has applied loctite to the screw that came loose at the bottom. He assured her that the screw will not come out again. He stated that this is a design flaw that allows the screw to come undone by opening the door to the right. My mother, myself and the appliance man feel that this model is a danger and should be recalled.
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.
Works great, a lot better than hand washing. Dont need to prewash before washing in dishwasher. I would recommend to anyone who wants a efficient way to do dishes without hand washing. The size is good, I can usually fit a full sink load plus pans and silverware all in one load, and they come clean! I would recommend to anyone, with a big family to feed and lots of dishes. I like the appearance. I like the black, fits in with the flow of the kitchen, goes with most any kitchens styles and colors. Its just great overall. Its pretty much worth what you pay for it. Not having to wash a bunch of dishes all the time makes it well worth the price, and can be affordable.
I have had the same wash dryer for almost 10 years, they both still work great! I also grew up using the same name of appliances. The Kenmore products have always been used in my home. And I would recommend Kenmore any day.
It helps, it gets the job done, and actually cleans your stuff and dishes quite well if you ask me. I recommend this item to everyone looking to get a bargain for their worth. It is a convenient size for a dishwasher Id say. It fits a lot of items so you could get the job done quickly and hassle-free, and not worry about there being any left residue on your plates if you are worried about that specific problem. The dishwasher is very in, and innovative. I feel that with modern technology getting more advanced everyday, this totally fits in, and it up to date, as all the young kids say, but all in all, its worth it. If youre on the edge between buying and not buying I suggest you buy it and take your chances, because you never know. Its a good price. Again, I recommend it. It gets the job done quickly, hassle free and you dont have to be lazy anymore because it feels like someone is actually washing them for you because of how clean the ending results are!
The Kenmore dishwasher uses a reasonable amount of energy and water. The dishes come out clean after one wash. I never have to run it more than once a day. Plus, there is enough room to hold several days worth of dishes. It fits well in my kitchen without taking up too much cabinet space. Its sleek and looks classy. The clean look goes well any time of the year with any aesthetic changes I make based on upcoming holidays, events, etc. It is worth the money for the quality. The features help pay for itself over the years. If bought again, I would make the same purchase.
The performance is very good. It cleans the dishes without spots or residue left over. The machine works well and we havent had any problems. The size is adequate. We can wash all of our dishes. Sometimes the tray for the silverware isnt enough but we have four kids who like to use spoons and forks. The appearance is nice. It flows with the rest of the kitchen. Looks modern and fits nicely into our kitchen cabinets. Doesnt look as if it is going to break. It is worth the money we paid. There are higher priced models but this one does the job and is affordable. It has also lasted so it has value in its longevity.
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.
Its a great machine. I really think it runs good and is one of the best machines Ive owned. I would tell my friends and family about it. Id get another if I need to buy one. Runs and washes great. I really like the way it works and runs. Very stylish. I like the way it looks and the way its made. I like the color of it. I find it very nice. It was a fair price for the brand. I think I got a fairly good deal. I would buy another if this one messed up and I would tell my friends about it.
I purchased a Kenmore Elite, Gentle wash-Canyon Capacity-Quiet Pak Oasis HE Energy Star! The first year, it started knocking. Repair came and replaced parts. Repair man said this was a defective model! The same problem occurred the second time, and today the third time! I was suppose to get a replacement washer, but it never happened! Third time repairman came out, he replaced the computer board, said everything was okay! Ten minutes after he left I placed a small load of colored clothes in - during the spin cycle, it started knocking again! Called expressing my dissatisfaction. This will be the fourth time for the same problem! Sears initially was to bring another washer - never did! Sears sold me a defective washer knowingly! Have purchased service protection agreements, same problem still persists!
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.
Works efficiently and is easy to clean and spacious. Sleek design and user friendly features. Would definitely purchase another Kenmore refrigerator in same or similar model. Spacious with easy to remove drawers, logical storage and ample shelves. It is perfect for a family of four and holds weekly grocery trips worth of food stuffs easily. Streamlined appearance, sophisticated, fits with classic or modern decor, easy to clean and maintain, solid quality. Ice maker water display is appealing also. Great product for the money, especially if you are able to get a sale with warranty. Comparable to top of the line appliances. Comprehensive warranty makes it a worthwhile investment.
It take only thirty minutes to dry small to medium loads and an hour to dry large to ex-large loads. An excellent dryer. It last a very long time more than 3 years tops. The appearance is what I like about it because of the door and the way it opens up. I dont like the newer dryers. I would recommend it to my family and friends because of the value you put your money into. It is worth the price to have a nice name brand dryer like this one.
Our Kenmore washer is less than five years old, and weve been having problems with it not agitating and/or spinning. It makes all the sounds like its doing something, but when you open the door, nothing is happening. Its hit or miss, too. Sometimes, Ill open the door after a cycle to put the wash into the dryer, and everything on the bottom is sopping wet. Ive tried adjusting the clothes thinking it didnt spin because its unbalanced, but even empty it wont spin. Then, two hours later, it might decide to spin. When I emailed Sears, I was sent a generic email response to the effect of, Your washer only has a one year warranty, unless you purchased extended warranty... I hope this information has been helpful. You are important to us so we hope that you will continue to make Sears your first choice for future purchases. Never again!
All of my washers and dryers are front load and have multiple selections on each one like the washer, hand washable, delicate, normal, casual, heavy duty, sanitary. The dryer has multiple selections also as delicate, casual, normal, bulky items, heavy duty and you can breeze the level of heat on the dryer. These have both lasted me 5 years and still going, so the quality and the reliability are very excellent. I have not had any problems with any overloading on water or breaking down on the dryer. Neither one has had any problems at all.The way both of them look they are both front-loaders and it helps with easy access of the clothes and it doesnt make noise like the top loaders when they end up going out. Theyre white, got a clear window that you can look through to see if its being overloaded or if its done or whatever. These washers have been very helpful. The price cost was not much at all. It did cost a little but it was not enough to make it to where I would not want to buy it.
Sears had a lot of models we could look at in the store and the service plan was reasonable. I liked that the model we purchased had wire shelves rather than all glass shelves which was what we needed. Wire shelves were easier to keep clean and you didnt have to worry about scratches. I liked everything about the Kenmore refrigerator but it could have been shorter and wider for us short people.
All appliances are Kenmore. Couldnt be happier with cost and service contract. No problems from any appliances. The refrigerator has warning bell if left open, and with kids in house, is a godsend. Quiet and very good at maintaining temperature for all food.
Great. It was what I needed. Get all the dishes done at once, make the job a lot easier. Always can depend on it when you are behind on your dishes to get the job done. A great way to make sure everything gets done on time: Start it up at night. When you wake up in the morning your dishes will have that fresh clean smell and ready to be used. Its get tough spots undone. Bad and good experience at that same time because the quality was not what I thought it would be. It still got the job done.
Kenmore Washer 80 Series - Horrible, horrible washing machine. Tears up all my clothes. Everything gets caught in the bottom of the agitator. I have holes in my clothes, holes in my towels, and holes in my sheets. I basically cant agitate anything and instead just soak the stains out and spin it dry. There should have been a recall on this machine. I have lost a lot of money in clothing and linen items that this machine has ruined.
Had the appliance (Kenmore Elite) for 6 months when ice maker had to be replaced. Now I have an ER 1F error code. No ice is being made and water is dripping down and freezing in the drawer freezer. I am quite disappointed. It appears the appliances are made so that you must call for repairs on a regular basis. My dishwasher from Sears is another story.
Price could be better, the cleaning is easy and oven works great. Personally I have a Imperial Flair from the 60s and I love this one better. Should make a new one last longer. Color choices more would be better.
I have a Kenmore front load washer. It's about 10-15 years old now and has been a great washer. I had a service man come out one time when the inside rubber gasket tore, otherwise I've had no problems with it over the years. It has been very reliable. I leave the door open when I take the clothes out, even though I've never had moldy smell in my clothes. I usually wipe out the gasket (around the door) every so often, but not that often. The front paint ended up bubbling from spilled detergents over the years, but that's simply cosmetic. Those front panels are replaceable, but it doesn't bother me that much. I never thought this washer would be so good and last so long. Thanks Sears for a good quality appliance.
Model 10673206300 - mom and I purchased this in 2005. Was told by salesman that this should last without problems for 15 to 20 yrs. Explained to clerk that week - really needed something to suit our needs. We are both disabled and live on a fixed income. We purchased the warranty and early on in 2005, the drawers had to be replaced. For the past month the fridge has leaked off and on. We attempted to repair but was unable. Called sears today - they want $75.00 to diagnose and was also told it would probably be $200.00. Or I could sent Sears $39.99 monthly and pay only $60.00 for the diagnosis. I was struck by the fact that the first question asked by automated system is ...is fridge leaking? Lets me know that sears is aware of this defective product. NEVER AGAIN Will I BUY FROM SEARS.
I have had Kenmore as my preferred dryer for many years. These appliances do a great job of drying clothes. I would recommend this brand as I have been very happy with their performance and price. Kenmore appliances can usually be seen on sale during any holiday and the savings is great. This is the best value of all brands around. These dryers last many years. I have never had a warranty and I never have any problems until I have had them for at least 8 years. Also, they are nice dryers. I like the look of these appliances. The buttons are sturdy and not cheap at all. They are usually white and are very appealing.
These dryers dry large load in half the time and theres a lot of room in it. I have never had an issue with this. It is also a very lite weight dryer. Always works. I have had it for a few years now. Its amazing. I love this dryer. I will continue to buy this brand for all my houses and or apartments. It is very nice looking, a lovely shiny white color, perfect for use in the kitchen, blends in nicely. I just all around love this brand and this dryer. Thank you. All other brands just dont dryer the same and are small enough to store in smaller houses and or apartments. I will continue to use and love this product.
I bought the front load washer and dryer. They are both large capacity machines which is great. However the washer begins molding within the first few uses unless we leave the door open after use. It also collects coins, hair clips and a wide variety of items in the pump and lines which caused its replacement the first year. Will never purchase another front load washer. The Dryer has been wonderful, but we have had to replace the heating coils after two years. Dries a large load very quickly though.
This refrigerator is quiet, stays at the temperature you set it at, makes ice cubes perfectly, keeps food at the right temperature, keeps frozen food frozen. Even though it is a side by side refrigerator, there is a lot of room in the refrigerator and plenty of room in the freezer. I have no problem storing everything I need. We have the no fingerprint finish and we love it. The refrigerator is 12 years old and it still is a very attractive addition to our kitchen. It looks as if it is still brand new. I dont remember what we paid for this refrigerator, but I know it was worth every penny considering how it is still working and the fact that we havent had any problems with it.
My dryer is efficient, quiet and easy to operate. It also dries in record time. I absolutely love the appearance of this dryer. It is sleek, smooth, up to date and my personal favorite of all other model appearances. The see thru door is my favorite. The value of this dryer is unbeatable and the best option for the price. I would not have bought anything else even if the price had been much lower and nothing would have changed my mind about this purchase.
I love my washer and dryer. We have had it for almost 20 years. It was not the top of the line, but it has been the perfect machines for us. We are looking to replace them more Kenmore.
It gets the job done correctly and efficiently. It fits the amount of clothing I need and gets it washed in an acceptable amount of time. It fits all of the article of clothing I need, a large load usually, and washes them thoroughly. I have never had a problem with this appliance. Its a very attractive appliance. Its sleek and doesnt cause an eye sore in my home. It blends in with my home decor and doesnt take up an excessive amount of space. I purchased this washer a few years back and it works great and has lasted for what I paid. It was a very smart and economical purchase. I would buy from this brand again.
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.
My Kenmore washer and dryer are very reliable; I have never had any problems with the washer or dryer. Very quiet also. They are on our first floor, right next to the kitchen, and we barely hear them!
Dries well and doesnt leave a lot of static. Gives you different time options for drying as well as 3 settings for air drying. Definitely recommend. Love my dryer. It is durable. We have had it 12 years and never had any problems with it drying our clothes. I wash clothes at least 3 times a week and use the dryer for drying with my comforter. This Kenmore dryer is small, durable, good size and depth. Easy to fit anywhere in your home. I love front load feature and simple to use. I believe this was on sale when we purchased 2 years after buying our home and we purchased as a set. We have had it 12 years and have never had issues with it with a family of 4.
We bought top loading high efficiency low water washer SN C54547545 in July 2016. It took a lot longer to wash a load. This year 2019 it started acting strange. The clothes were too wet and I’d drain/spin again. Checked the troubleshooting section-nothing worked. My husband put clothes in dryer while I was out and the load was too heavy, causing my dryer to burn up. Now I’m looking to buy both. Washers should last longer than 3 years!
Always worked. Never had any problems getting clothes clean using this washer. Was always an everyday user. Never had any mechanical issues. Very reliable. Was able to keep up with 2 toddlers in the house. Kept clothes clean and never once doubted its reliability. I washed clothes on a daily basis most times and it always seems to get the job done. Was easy to clean. Didnt have any rust like a lot of the older models of the washers. Always looked brand new. Very nice looking models. Very budget friendly. Didnt cost a fortune to purchase. Maintenance on it was very cheap. The load capacity helped with water bill and dryer was very cheap on electric...
My Kenmore washer and dryer last for very long time because they are in America where they should be and they all this time never broken down and in need of repair because they are made by American workers who know how make things right in the first place.
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!
I like Kenmore because it’s made by Sears and this white, wide top, side by side, frost free refrigerator is next day free delivery. Its with a 10 yr warranty which is the best deal Ive seen in years.
Performance is great. Temperature buttons work properly and have never broke. Temp always maintains the correct place you set it at. Overall performance level to me is essential and Ive had no problems. Size is essential to me. I would love a bigger fridge but my living space wont allow me to have so the size I went with proved to be spacious enough with perfect shelf space and space to stack. I absolutely love it. The appearance of the fridge you believe is top notch. I think the color makes it set itself above others and makes it look more rusty and beautiful and stands out. Go get one. Value is everything. Its perfect – value, look, appearance, longevity, price, space. Its all what you want and exactly what you always wanted in a fridge.
I love my Kenmore devices. I have never had any major problems with any of my devices that I own. They get my clothes clean and my dishes clean and I would recommend Kenmore to anyone. Kenmore sticks to their service after the sale too.
I purchased my piece of junk Kenmore range Model 790.9745 in 11/09. I have had a reoccurring issue since the glass exploding and shattering for no apparent reason. The glass in the door has slipped on 3 separate occasions, requiring a service call and time waiting for repairs. On 12/13/2012, the glass was replaced after exploding. On 3/2/2013, the glass was replaced after having slipped, revealing the hardware which was holding it in place. On 6/8/2013, the glass was replaced once again due to slipping and revealing the hardware. Today, I have phoned customer service once again and have received no satisfaction from the numerous phone conversations. Each time the supervisor has been less than helpful in their ability to satisfy the customer. I would think that Sears would be a bit more concerned about rectifying this situation and stand behind what they sell and repair this problem. I will not buy another thing from Sears and I will be sure to share my poor experience with Everyone I know! I am disgusted!
The dishes were always clean and the device was very quiet. It helped us focus on other chores rather than washing dishes by hand. My friends deserve the same freedom. I seldom had to run the dishwasher more than once. It fit all of my pots, pans, silverware, utensils, and coffee mugs/glasses and that is all I can say about this product. The product blended in with all of our other household appliances. It was extremely easy to keep clean and it didnt stick out like a sore thumb. I was ok because it came with the townhome that we purchased. Its always awesome to save money that can be spent on other awesome things. Lucky me!
It does a great job cleaning my clothes. The cycle takes too long, I dont like the stop button (it is easy to break) and its difficult to stop the washer and add an item because the lid locks. Very reliable. I have owned the washer for over four years without any problems. I use the washer several times a week, at different settings. The washer appearance is fine. I was looking for something simple to use and small enough to fit in my laundry closet. There is nothing fancy about this washer but I wasnt looking for anything complicated. I was not planning to buy a washer but my old washer/dryer combination broke down so I was forced to buy new machines. This washer fit well within my budget without sacrificing the features I was looking for.
I dont know where to start. I guess at the beginning. I purchased this washer and matching dryer (Kenmore Elite Quad Action Model 31633) for my new home. I have always had Kenmore products and had a newer gas Kenmore but did not have gas at my new home. I knew when I went looking for a new product I had to have Kenmore for its quality and reliability. I picked this pair due to a special offer that the warranty would have a 2 year extension in addition to the 1 year manufacturers warranty at the time of purchase. I purchased these in store and the salesman had never heard of such a thing. He was able to pull up the offer on their website and had to show it to his manager as well. When I never received any confirmation of this warranty extension. I continued to call both the store as well as customer service. The salesman remembered me and said he would have his manager contact me. This never happened after multiple attempts.Fast forward to the manufacturers warranty. This new washer was destroying all the new towels purchased for my new home. Though some were cheaper and purchased on sale, many were expensive towels that now had threads pulled from them everywhere thus rendering them unattractive for display and are now only available for personal use and unacceptable for company. Technicians were sent out unable to determine the cause other than a possible design flaw with the large gap between the wash drum and wash plate thus allowing items to be sucked in. This is unacceptable. I also was able to find out these appliances are not even made by Kenmore as they have not made washers and dryers for years but manufactured by Whirlpool with the Kenmore name affixed. The technician provided me with a business card that provided a phone number for their Customer Solutions Department who proceeded to advise me that the technician would have to escalate the problem to his Technical Manager. This along with documentation and 7-8 service calls for the same unresolved problem would be required to consider replacement! Seriously? The amount of cost, time, and frustration not only for the consumer but the technicians as well after 7-8 service calls would have paid for the replacement.I now am having the drum and wash plate replaced still not knowing if this is going to resolve the problem and nearing the end of my warranty. In addition, all the Customer Solutions Department was willing to do was reimburse me a total of $55 dollars for the damage to my towels. This would not even cover two of the bath sheets. Bottom line, no longer rely on your prior confidence in Sears Kenmore products. They are just charging more for them now to put their name on someone elses product!
The Kenmore washer and dryer performed beyond my expectation -- they were cleaned thoroughly so that a second washing/drying was not necessary. These appliances were top-quality in every regard. Highly recommend them both. Reliability once again exceeded my expectations. Clothes were laundered consistently load after load. It was not necessary to call for repairment to fix anything. The appearance of these appliances was very attractive and appealing. Both looked very modern, and the color finish was top quality. Visually, everything was orderly and attractive. The perceived value of these appliances is that you are getting more than your moneys worth -- quality laundering for an overall low price.
Very useful for me and my family with our day to day needs in the kitchen. Keeps our food fresh longer with the compartment space with its self temperature setting zones. Love the air filters design and the roll draw in the freezer. Oh the showcase door is awesome too.
Bought a dryer from Sears, it didnt work. After much haggling with rude sales person & his manager in Victoria BC they sent another. That one didnt work either! Had to speak with someone in Philippines to get it picked up & receive credit to my VISA. Never shop there again... This is why they are going out of business.
I love my Kenmore refrigerator. The food stays fresher longer and the freezer is the best part - anyone who has kids or grandkids and loves to make jello or freezer pops this is a must have. I love it. My freezer room is amazing you can fit about anything in it. I love to freeze green beans in the summer to eat in the winter. My freezer has enough room for me to do that. I love the way it looks. It could fit perfect into any space and has lots of room for pictures on the front and the handles are easy to open and easy to close for me and my grandkids. I have severe arthritis and I have no problem opening and closing it. I think you actually get more bang for your buck with this amazing fridge and freezer and the room is amazing and you have an easy clean freezer and refrigerator. How many women want that? I do and the room I love it.
We purchased the Kenmore Elite made by LG French door refrigerator in 2008 and have had nothing but trouble out of it. Sears fixed an energy setting a few months after we purchased as a recall and ever since that its not a refrigerator its a freezerator! It freezes everything that is in the bottom drawers and left bottom. Great for keeping meat but it freezes everything. We have had more foods ruin from freezing fresh foods to numerous things that dont taste well after being frozen or ruins things because its been thawed and refrozen. Just when we think its working right it acts up. Also the ice machine if its not set on small the cubes wont come out. Every time the power blinks and we forget we have to wait forever for the ice to make. We have purchased all our appliances from Sears and have never had any trouble with all the other items but we will not purchase another Kenmore Refrigerator made by LG. We have called Sears numerous times and they would not stand behind their product or that it worked fine until they fixed it so not sure we will use Sears when time to replace items.
My Sears Kenmore Elite washer will not get out stains. To be fair the unit is out of warranty but is only a year and a half old. Because of health issues, I didnt start getting clothes dirty until this spring. It will not remove simple stains like dirt and when I started started to smell some clothes, they didnt smell clean coming right out of the machine. For example my socks smelled as bad coming out of the wash as they did going in. I would think it would be unsanitary to wear clothes that are not clean. When I purchased the the set online in September 2012, they were giving it a 5 star rating. I looked at past models and they only showed 3 stars but this was a new model and I assumed improvements had been made. Looking online today, Consumer Reports gives it a 53 rating out of 100 and others rate it 3.2 out of 10 and even Sears rates it low and the biggest complaint was that it didnt get out stains or get clothes clean in general. I first called the 800 number Customer Service number in the book and the person that I spoke too suggested that I try to purchase an extended warranty then break the machine on purpose and see if they replace it. As bad as this sounds I do think she was trying to help knowing they would not do anything with it being out of warranty. Then I called Sears the first thing that they said is that is was a LG machine, and the second thing was that it was out of warranty and they would do nothing to help me. I then called customer service who said the same until I told them I would cancel my Sears Card. At that point, I was transferred to Customer Retention who eventually decided to send a technician to my house and some negotiation waved the service charge. I did ask him to speak with the service technician on the phone before he made the appointment because I thought he would be wasting him time after reading all the online information that says it just doesnt clean. The conversation didnt happen and the next morning about 8:45, the service technician called and asked me what was wrong with the washer. I told him it didnt get clothes clean. Then he started to say that I needed special laundry soap and that I shouldnt use fabric softener. Anyhow he declined to come because like me, I thought the machine was working as designed but wouldnt get all clothes clean. He eventually told me thank and added it was because the washer didnt use enough water to clean clothes. I called Sears later and told them what had happened and they would not help me and that case # ** would be closed. I did at that point close my Sears account. I did call Sears again to get an address to send information from Small Claims Court. I then decided to send an email to LG to see if they might help since it is manufactured by them and it is their design. The very first thing they said was that it was a Kenmore and that it was a Sears. I sent them back a reply asking them several questions including who did the design, hold the pattern, and the drawings. I didnt receive a response. I did call an 800 number and talk to someone who did give me an address so that the court could get them information. So I am looking into taking both companies to Small Claims Court together so that a Judge may decide who should lose $1029 for a product that doesnt clean.
The washer is amazing. It has different spin cycles depending on your preference. It is able to get my clothes nice and clean in a timely manner. The appearance is pretty common. It has the knobs at the top and the washer opens up the normal. The washer is very reliable and I have had not one single problem with it. When I need my clothes done in a hurry it gets the job done very quickly. It is of a good value because of different key components. Some are how the washer works, what are the different features and the look of it.
Are very efficient with regard to performance. Never have had problems with the dishwasher. Kenmore 24 the size is good. Dishwasher is black with good washing system. The cost of the dishwasher was of 427 dollars with warranty.
Its pretty spacious and good enough for my family of 4, keeps veggies and fruits fresh for long time, maintain right amount of moisture. I like the freezer part most because I use to freeze my leftover food sometimes.
Our clothes always came out very clean using this washer and smelling great. My husband works in the motor oil manufacturing plant and he always comes home smelling of motor oil but using this washer, it really gets the smell out. This washer is very reliable and easy to use. We had Kenmore appliances before and will have them again... I have never had an issue with the Kenmore washer having any issues. This washer has a nice, sleek design and easy to use dials and knobs. It is also easy to read... No need to go find your glasses to start it. We bought our Kenmore washer at Sears and the associate that helped us was very helpful in finding what we needed and how much we were willing to spend and we feel we got our moneys worth.
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.
Have owned this refrigerator for a few years and have not had any issues at all. Also the price is very affordable which makes it very economical. Its a standard size that fits perfectly in my kitchen. I love that I can get the shelves and steers out easily and replace them hassle free. I own a white model that is clean and classy looking for a basic white model. Its just perfect for my kitchen. Goes well with my decor. Have had no issues or problems. There is no rust that happened to my last refrigerator which is very impressive. It cleans up very nicely and great for the money.
Kenmore Refrigerators are extremely reliable. I have never had an issue with my refrigerator or any of my other Kenmore appliances. You cannot go wrong with any Kenmore appliance. No problem fitting our weekly groceries and any leftover items in the refrigerator along with luncheon items. Along with our pit hers of fresh brewed tea. We opted for a standard color refrigerator and I like the look of the Kenmore Refrigerators. They are attractive looking in our kitchen. Our Kenmore Refrigerator is a nice quality appliance for the price and in our experience Kenmore appliances have long lasting durability and reliability.
The fridge met my expectations. It was spacious and had a very large ice bin. The flaw to that was that it limited freezer space so we had to get a chest freezer for the rest of our food. I was still satisfied with it. It was a little spacey but we were able to get it in the spot where we wanted. If it were just a couple of centimeters thinner, I would have been more satisfied. I thought it was a little too expensive but we bought it anyway since it appeared to meet our expectations.
Going on 30 years with both Kenmore washer and dryer. No problems(.) The washing machine very Reliable, no issues with any of the appliances. The washing machine is used daily and up to 4 times a day. Quality of the wash is great.
Works very well also very spacious. Have had for over a decade with no issues. Runs extra super quiet and keeps food very cold. It is very spacious and roomy. The freezer has enough room to take advantage of any sale you come across. The frigerated part has enough room to do the same. Coming in either black or white it goes with any decor that you may have. It as well has a number of shelves inside. It as well has a couple crispers. I find good value in the fact that I have had it a number of years problem free. I as well find extreme value in the fact it does have enough room to allow me to take advantage of a good sale.
It was good until it had to be replaced. It was one of my first refrigerators and it was nothing fancy. I got a side by side refrigerator the next time I got one but this one worked for many many years. It was a little small but still fully functional and it didnt take up too much space which is always good to have. I liked the big freezer personally because I eat a lot of frozen foods. Plain and white but clean and simple is how I would describe it. It had a good place to place magnets on the front and it wasnt nice enough that you were afraid of damaging it. I dont think I could have sold it to someone even in a garage sale but it served our purposes well which was primarily to keep our food cold or chilled.
I have had a Kenmore washer and dryer for over 13 yrs, they are still working and I like them. I have a Kenmore front loader, HE washer and it is still going strong after 13 years. I have a large Kenmore dryer that works well.
It could have higher power cleaning tools. It always left spots but I use jet dry. Hopefully its better at cleaning my dishes but I love how the dishwasher lasted so long after so much usage and I will always think Kenmore. Its not too bad of a size. Fits in any normal counter space with safe precautions door and helpful weight. Very manageable big.I love Kenmore. I will always shop them for my appliance needs. Dishwashers are my helpers. I love dishwashers. They are so pretty in style for the newer ones but they have always matched any kitchen appliance. I love a matching set of everything Kenmore. Cheap enough. Although some old ones still get pretty dull but still will always work. Never had a leak that couldnt be fixed. I cant wait to buy more Kenmore appliances cause Im so excited. I love them all very much.
This is a great refrigerator. Its size really lets us keep everything we need in it and also, it has an alarm to let you know that the door has been left open.
Got dishes and pots and pans very clean and dried very well also. And ran very quietly, hardly ever heard it running. It was standard size --held a lot of dishes and pots and pans. Could almost fit every thanksgiving dinner stuff in--in one wash. Never had a problem with it cleaning or drying. Wish I still had it. It was standard size white in color. Came with our place. Big enough for our family of five. I would recommend it to anyone who hates to wash dishes. I cant say what it cost, it came with our trailer, but it was worth its weight in gold to me. Never had one issue with it. Always worked very well.
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.
The control panel is on the right side. If you boil water/cook on the stove just below the control panel, sometimes the solder on the circuit board will dissolve and the microwave will not function. If you have the minimum clearance required between your stove-top microwave and the stove burners, also avoid boiling water in large pots just below the microwave control panel. No problems now that I know what went wrong with the first one.
My Kenmore clothes washer and dryer were one of the best sets Ive ever owned. They both performed excellent. All my clothes were well washed and dried in one cycle. I never had any rust or burn spots on any of my clothes and the machines were very easy to use.
Ive had my fridge for a long while and have never had any trouble. The settings are easy to adjust and keeps products cold. The fridge is the quietest of any Ive owned. I feel as if it could be a bit bigger, especially along the door area. The freezer needs to be slightly deeper. For a three-person household the fridge is a bit small, but it would be ideal for someone who cooks a lot and is single. Its a standard looking fridge. If you want a simple white fridge, its a nice addition to a kitchen. I paid a bit more than I think it was worth in the long run, but overall Im happy with the purchase when compared with what Ive had in the past. I think its a good value.
My fridge is wonderful. It has plenty of space and is easy to organize all of our food. It runs well and keeps everything cold. It also looks great in our kitchen. It is the perfect size for us. It has lots of room and is easy to organize everything. There is plenty of space to keep everything in order. Our fridge looks amazing in our kitchen. It is modern and sleek and innovative. We always get compliments on it. It really is beautiful. For the price, the fridge is amazing. It runs great and works perfectly. In my opinion, it is worth more than we paid for it and I would buy one again.
