Reassemble the door with the user interface wire harness disconnected, but don't close the door.
CODE: 2-2 or F2E2
PROBLEM: User interface control can't communicate with electronic control board
FIX: Shut off power to the dishwasher. Check the wiring between the user interface control and the electronic control board. If the wires and connections are okay, replace the user interface control board. If the problem persists, replace the electronic control board.
CODE: 3-1 or F3E1
PROBLEM: Thermistor/OWI sensor failure (The thermistor is the water temperature sensor, the OWI sensor is the Optical Water Indicator that detects the amount of debris in the water.)
FIX: Unplug the dishwasher to disconnect electrical power and then check the wiring between the electronic control board and the thermistor/OWI sensor. Repair or replace the wire harness if broken. If you find the wiring undamaged, replace the thermistor/OWI sensor.
CODE: 3-2 or F3E2
PROBLEM: Shorted thermistor/OWI sensor
FIX: Unplug the dishwasher to disconnect electrical power and then check the wiring between the electronic control board and the thermistor/OWI sensor. Repair or replace the wire harness if broken. If you find the wiring undamaged, replace the thermistor/OWI sensor.
CODE: 3-3 or F3E3
PROBLEM: OWI failed to calibrate or the drain hose check valve failed, allowing dirty water to backflow into the dishwasher
FIX: Disconnect the dishwasher drain hose connection from the air gap or the garbage disposal if you have no air gap. Pour water through the drain hose to see if water backs up into the dishwasher tub. If so, replace the portion of the drain hose that connects to the drain pump because the check valve in that hose failed.
CODE: 4-1 or F4E1
PROBLEM: Communication error between the electronic control board and the circulation pump motor
FIX: Unplug the dishwasher to disconnect electrical power. Check the circulation pump wire harness and reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. If the wiring connections are okay, replace the circulation pump and motor assembly. If the problem continues, replace the electronic control board.
CODE: 4-2 or F4E2

If the wiring connections are okay, replace the circulation pump and motor assembly. If the problem continues, replace the electronic control board.
CODE: 5-1 or F5E1
PROBLEM: Door switch failure
FIX: This code appears if you don't close the door within 4 seconds of pressing the Start/Resume button, or if the door latch assembly is broken. When starting a cycle, close the door within 4 seconds after pressing Start/Resume. If you can't start the cycle and the code continues, then the door switch could be defective. Unplug the dishwasher to disconnect electrical power.
CODE: 5-2 or F5E2
PROBLEM: Control detects door not opening
FIX: The electronic control board expects to see the door open between cycles or the dishwasher won't start the next time you try to start a new cycle. If you didn't open the door between cycles, cancel the cycle. Open and shut the door, and then start a new cycle. If the cycle still won't start, then the door switch could be defective.
CODE: 6-1 or F6E1
PROBLEM: Won't fill
FIX: Check for an item stuck under the overfill float and remove it. If the overfill float sticks in the "up" position the dishwasher won't fill. Unplug the dishwasher to disconnect electrical power and shut the water supply valve. Disconnect the water supply line from the water inlet valve and check the water inlet valve screen for clogs.
CODE: 6-2 or F6E2
PROBLEM: Water inlet valve failure
FIX: Unplug the dishwasher to disconnect electrical power. Remove the bottom front access panel and toe panel. Check the wire harness connections on the water inlet valve. Reconnect any loose wires. Replace the wire harness if damaged. If the wire harness connections are okay, check the resistance of the water inlet valve using a multimeter.
CODE: 6-3 or F6E3
PROBLEM: Suds or air are in the water pump
FIX: Check for sudsy water. If you see excessive suds, try to drain the dishwasher by cancelling the cycle. The drain pump will run for 3 minutes. If the drain pump can't drain the sudsy water, drain the water by hand or use a wet/dry shop vacuum to remove the water. Check the detergent dispenser and replace if it's damaged. Use only dishwasher detergent in the dishwasher. Using regular dish soap in the dishwasher causes excessive suds.
CODE: 6-4 or F6E4
PROBLEM: The float switch is open
FIX: Check the overfill float switch to see if it's stuck or if an item is stuck under it. Check if the inlet water fill valve is properly shutting off the water supply when the dishwasher is off.
CODE: 6-6 or F6E6
PROBLEM: Incoming water is too cold
FIX: Use an accurate thermometer to check the water temperature. If it's lower than 110 degrees F, check your water heater. If the water temperature is normal (110 to 120 degrees F), replace the thermistor/OWI or the electronic control board. Refer to the tech sheet for your dishwasher for a diagnostic test for the thermistor.
CODE: 6-7 or F6E7
PROBLEM: Disconnected or damaged flow meter
FIX: Shut off power to the dishwasher. Check the wiring to the flow meter. If the wiring is intact, replace the flow meter.
CODE: 6-8 or F6E8
PROBLEM: Problem with water softener regeneration valve (Water Softener Models Only)
FIX: Shut off power to the dishwasher. Check the wiring to the water softener regeneration valve. If the wiring is intact, replace the water softener regeneration valve. If the problem persists, replace the electronic control board.
CODE: 7-1 or F7E1
PROBLEM: Heating element doesn't work
FIX: Shut off power to the dishwasher. Inspect the heating element and replace it if it's visibly damaged. If not, check the wiring to the heating element. If the wiring is intact, replace the heating element.
CODE: 7-2 or F7E2
PROBLEM: Heating element won't shut off
FIX: Shut off power to the dishwasher for 5 minutes. If the code resumes when you restore power, replace the electronic control board.
CODE: 8-1 or F8E1
PROBLEM: Slow drain
FIX: Shut off power to the dishwasher and then shut off water. Check the drain path for an obstruction. If the drain path is clear, check the wiring on the drain pump. If the wiring is intact, replace the drain pump.
CODE: 8-2 or F8E2
PROBLEM: Drain pump electrical problem
FIX: Shut off power to the dishwasher and then shut off water. Check the wiring on the drain pump. If the wiring is intact, replace the drain pump.
CODE: 9-1 or F9E1
PROBLEM: Electronic control board can't detect the position of the diverter disc
FIX: The diverter motor positions the disc that directs the water through the lower spray arm or the upper spray arm. The diverter motor also monitors the position of the diverter disc and sends position signals to the electronic control board. Unplug the dishwasher to disconnect power and check the wiring going to the diverter motor.
CODE: 9-2 or F9E2
PROBLEM: Diverter motor is stuck on
FIX: The diverter relay on the electronic control board is defective. Unplug the dishwasher to disconnect electrical power and replace the electronic control board.
CODE: 10-1 or FAE1
PROBLEM: Detergent dispenser failure

Kenmore Dishwasher common faults
The dishwashers performance is outstanding. I get all of my dishes and cookware cleaner than ever before. Fast and effective machine. Appearance is very neat and sleek design with beautiful finish to make it look very premium. The size is perfect for the dishwasher. Fit perfectly and looking very nice and cool. Very amazing and affordable. Best value for the most well built dishwasher that I can buy. Very good value for an amazing dishwasher by Kenmore. Overall Im very satisfied with this dishwasher and its performance and would purchase more from this same brand. I really like it and Id recommend.
Its washed the dishes really well. Never had to double wash. I loved it and I definitely had no complaints. Just use the right dishwasher detergent. It fit well in the spot it was place. It was a replacement dishwasher. And it was money well spent. I would buy it again if I had and would chose that one. Very shiny and brand new and very efficient. Great value for my money. Very valuable and would not compare it to any other dishwasher.
There is no way as a working couple we were going to be able to keep up on all our dirty dishes. We barely keep up with the dirty dishes now. Then with the baby and having to constantly clean his bottles a dishwasher was a must. It is crazy how much dirty dishes a family of three can accumulate over the course of a few days. I like the top rack that has the fold down parts for the wine glasses. I like how I can fit my baby bottles in nicely. I also like how I can fit the cage on top with all the baby parts. The bottom is awesome too. Its has the fold down tabs and removable silverware thingy. I wish that the dishwasher fit the pots and pans more nicely. Its just kind of awkward placing them on the bottom level. The handle always covers the silverware part. You almost have to just do a separate wash for just the pots and pans but I never have that many to justify a spectate wash. I also think its kind of weird that the buttons fit underneath the counter.
This dishwasher is really great. It cleans very well, even if I dont prewash, its so quiet that I barely know its on. Its also fast and economical. Was worth the price and then some. This dishwasher is the perfect size for a family. I can get all the dishes plus the pots and pans. It has two shelves and I can get a dozen glasses and bowls if I need to. Its very pretty if thats a consideration. I love the color and how the buttons dont stand out. It makes it very easy to clean. We give it a quick wipe down after dinner and it looks great. The price was very reasonable. I did quite a bit of comparison shopping before I finally decided on this model and I am very happy with my choice.
I bought this dishwasher about 3 years ago and this is the first dishwasher I have that never had a problem with it breaking or malfunction. It was on the smaller side but I could usually get all of my dishes in one cycle compared to my last washer. It had more room for dishes and less aesthetics to make it wider and to up less space. It was simple but easy on the eyes, it didnt need a lot of aesthetics like most dishwashers to make it look cluttered. I would recommend this dishwasher to anyone that need something simple but nice-looking and gets the job done. For the price, this is a large and reliable dishwasher that I have. Never had a problem with this washer unlike all the other brands that I had that broke in the first 6 months.
I initially chose Kenmore for my dishwasher because of the well known quality of the brand and knowing I would be getting a good dishwasher. Most, if not all, of the dishwashers I have owned have been Kenmore. They are excellent at getting the dishes clean. However, the features that I would like improved upon would be to decrease the amount of water left on the dishes after going through a cleaning cycle. Making sure that the dishes come out drier. Overall, Kenmore dishwashers have always been a very reliable and quality brand that has beyond exceeded my expectations.
Every dish, every utensil or silverware price that comes out is sparkling clean no residue and it doesnt take long to go through the process either and it does a great job. The dishwasher fits a load of dishes no problem. The dishes fit perfectly in there. I can put my crock pot in there the glass part. The silverware have a handy little container that fits perfectly. My tall cups fit in there perfectly. It is sleek and goes perfectly with all the other appliances in my kitchen. Its easy to open, its easy to use. The buttons are very clear to read and theres very many options to pick from. We searched around for different types different sizes and this dishwasher was the perfect size with the perfect components at the price that we wanted.
My overall experience with it was okay, but after a little over a year, it started leaking water everywhere. Thankfully it was still under warranty then, but still would not expect something to go wrong with it for just a year’s worth of use. It was big enough to fit all of our needs just fine, and we have a family of four. Never had an issue with the space with it at all. Overall, the outside of the unit is very nice, because I got the stainless steel one to match all of my other appliances in the house. Inside, it looks like any other dishwasher. The value was alright, not a real big deal and not a real big price either. But overall, I would say that it was okay for what I had to pay for it.
Quiet- cleans very well- has many options which one may or may not use- would buy again- I believe in Kenmore products though they are made by Whirlpool and may or may not have LG parts- This dishwasher is very dependable, very quiet and thorough in the cleaning of dishes placed inside.
The multi-wash settings make it easy to use. Thanks to the silverware tray on the door, there is ample space for larger pots and pans. The power wash eliminates the need for a rigorous pre-wash. Love the silvery on door, space saving feature; the general layout allows for large pots, pans and even cookie sheets and lids; the top shelf has features to hold glassware in place to avoid breakage. Sleek design, easy to match with all modern appliances. Most come in choice of black, silver or white with hidden controls. Kenmore dishwasher can easily create a updated look to any kitchen. The standard sizing made installation a breeze. The main pros of this Kenmore dishwasher are price, features, name and reliability, warranty, and design. When up against competitors, the Kenmore always offers more standard features for less, and you know youre buying a name you can trust.
Our dishwasher came with the new house so it fits perfectly in our kitchen. It doesnt stick out too far from the cabinets either so it is the right fit for us. We didnt purchase it for the looks. We would rather focus on the function, not the appearance. With that being said, its not an eyesore either. We have absolutely no issues in the years that we have had it. Dishes are always cleaned to our satisfaction. Outside of the use we have been very happy with it. We believe we got good value for our money. Not a whole lot of bells and whistles nor did we need any. We just want to get what we spend.
Fast and clean, very low noise and low power usage. Easy to operate, excellent overall performance and ease of operating the features. Long lasting product for everyday use. This washers dimensions make it easy to install in smaller spaces. The measurements are very exact allowing a well fitting unit in a small kitchen. This washer has a great modern look thats not too bold and should look well with older kitchen fixtures and newly constructed kitchens. The color and finish are long lasting. This washer is priced right and should fit most budgets. For the price I feel it is one on the best valued dishwasher I had found. I looked at many outlets for the best price and this dishwasher was best.
Kenmore dishwasher is very quiet and Im very pleased with the job it does. I know even my heavy cleaning jobs will be completed to my liking and I never had to rewash. Easy to use, load, clean and maintain its shine. Looks modern and uncomplicated... Truly love at first sight. Its size is perfect for my kitchen and small family. Leaves room for all my other appliances. Fits right under my counter so it looks right at home. Its compact, but still has plenty of room. For what I spent I feel it was well worth it. I get value from its cleaning, energy efficient, style, and the added free time I get.
I bought a Kenmore Elite refrigerator about 2 years ago and it just died. It took the company 2 weeks to get a repairman to my home. When they did, he told me the refrigerator needed a new motor, fan, and coolant. He said it would cost $1,300.00 to repair. I asked him why it broke after only 2 years. He said he didnt know but that he was fixing them regularly, several a week. Well, after being a loyal customer for many years Sears has refused to help because I didnt buy a warranty! I have bought all of mine as well as my daughters appliances from Sears and never had an issue but its disheartening to find that after all your loyalty, if you do, Sears will not be in your corner. The girl I talked with was actually rude and told me my choices were, I could pay them $1,300 to fix a Refrigerator I just bought, or I could buy a new one, or I could use a cooler for the upcoming summer. She forgot one choice, the one Im taking and that is never shopping with them again, posting negative reviews on social media, and filing complaints with the BBB, CFP and with any other agency I can find.
Purchased all new Kenmore Elite Appliances for my new home 5 years ago. Within 3 months our dishwasher just stopped working. Repairman came out and had to order parts. Still didnt work after parts were installed. I was told by Sears if I purchased an extended warranty they would replace it. During this time there was a recall on our Kenmore elite washing machine. Repairman came and replaced recalled part. Washer doesnt clean as well since part has been replaced. Now 3 days before Thanksgiving the Kenmore Elite Refrigerator has just quit cooling. Everything in freezer and refrigerator ruined. Cannot get a repairman until the day after Thanksgiving.
I researched and read many reviews before deciding on this dishwasher. It was reasonably priced for a dishwasher with a stainless steel interior, and is extremely quiet when running. It is very basic, but offers an energy saving cycle, which I always use.
Its a very dependable, high quality dishwasher and it works great. I would recommend it to anybody. I would even go out and buy an extra one for my house. I love my dishwasher. Its very large on the inside and fits just right in my kitchen. Has all the necessities I need and I couldnt ask for a better dishwasher. Its just right for my cabinets. My dishwasher is black, matches my counters and its easy to clean. Its also very bright. It never shows dirt or scum or grime. Its perfect and I would even recommend it to family and friends. Its very well worth its value. Its actually worth more than its value, it worth a whole lot more than what I paid for it. Its a great product for its price.
I like that it really cleans all of my dishes and not just partially like most dishwashers I have used before in my life. It also lets me control the speed which is nice because you want to have some control over how fast it goes. I really liked what this brand had to offer as far as features and just overall capability. It is something I could see myself using for the next 10 years and getting the best quality out of it. But I would like if it could fit more dishes. I also would like if it was stainless steel at a cheaper price than what you would have to spend for that feature.
Weve purchased Kenmore appliances for years and have always found them to be competitively priced and reliable. Our washer, dryer and dishwasher have been used time and again and weve never had a problem with any of them. Weve also purchased other brands through Sears that have also been reliable.
A Kenmore is a good name brand and product and I feel every house should have a Kenmore dishwasher. You will love it from the First day you use it... Its just like getting a brand new toy. It work well from the first day I brought it until now. I love my new Kenmore and I had it for one year now. Its a good machine and it meets all yours needs and all of its expectations. It get your dishes nice and clean. It dry your dishes very well and you dont have to worry about wet dishes. Just use the right amount of dish detergent, and always use Jet-Dry dish detergent to keep your dishes nice, clean and dry.
I am happy with my Kenmore Elite and think it is top quality. Have had no problems with it and it works steadily with little noise. My Kenmore Elite fits all the dishes/glasses/pans I wash in it and I use it all of the time. I simply put dishes in it after scraping off food and wash when it has a number of dishes to do usually daily or semi daily. Dishes are always cleaned very well and dried. Very seldom see spots. Dishwasher looks good and I like the interior being stainless steel. My Kenmore Elite fits the decor of my kitchen perfectly in bisque beige. It is a perfect size and has removable areas for thorough cleaning accumulated food particles that might accumulate from time to time. All parts are working fine and ultra quiet when operating. Perceived value of my Kenmore Elite is more than I paid for it when you realize that you will receive many years of fine working from this appliance for the small price you originally paid for it. You get your moneys worth from this appliance in the long run so it is worth a little extra for more features too.
I have a very busy schedule and I am not able to physically wash dishes so I needed something that would ultimately help me in doing so. I decide to look online and see what was the best deal and dishwasher brand for me. I wanted something that was reliable and worked well so I would have no problem doing what I needed to do as a baby sitter. The Kenmore is really great. The features that I like about the dishwasher is that it actually cleans thoroughly.Other dishwashers leave residue on the dishes but this one does not. However, I dont like that it does not hold more dishes that I want it to. Although, all in all, it works well. The reason why I chose Kenmore is because I heard a lot of good things about it from family members and the reviews were great as well. I also thought the pricing was a good value for it. I also love the stainless steel color that they had. I love my Kenmore dishwasher because it is reliable, works fast and does a great job. This dishwasher totally met my expectations!
My dishwasher is easy to use, & great cleaning & is very quiet. I use mine at least 5 times a week. This is a great dishwasher. I love everything about it. Kenmore has far exceeded my expectations. I would have to think long and hard before I would replace this dishwasher. I love everything about this dishwasher. I would highly recommend this to everyone who is looking for a dishwasher. I love it so much.
Would gave a 4.5 instead of 4, but you dont have it, and 5 means its perfect, there always room for improvement in my view. Had the dishwasher for 18+ yrs and during that time only had to replace a clogged spray arm at the bottom. A $20.00 parts. DIY. Therefore it does not owes me anything and was money well spent, especially in these days where most mechanical & electronic usually requires a 5 or 10 years warranty extension on something which should last 20 years plus. Thus manufacturer are not really doing a good QC of their products.
Had serviceman and plumber look at dishwasher. Keeps water in bottom after it has finished cycling. I no longer use it. I wash dishes by hand. No answer on what the problem is. I thought the idea of having a steam cycle was good. This would work for someone who has an autoimmune disease and would help with germs. Everything is hidden in the top of dishwasher so nothing shows on outside. I like the look. I would tell others about the look and how much I like it to others. I had the choice of a Bosch and a Sears dishwasher. The prices were similar. I have always thought Sears stood by their products so I went with it instead of Bosch. I am left to wonder.
Typical dishwasher, nothing fancy. Pretty noisy, pot setting takes a long time to wash but cleans unrinsed dishes very good. This dishwasher is average, nothing fancy here, washes dishes fine. Just too noisy. Sears service is going downhill. They dont listen to what your problem is, and you first have to talk to their voice mail instead of a real person, and even then youre lucky if they can understand what youre saying and vice versa. Wouldnt recommend Sears to anyone.
The performance of the dishwasher is good. This product is very nice. Easy to maintain and use. Loving it. Would recommend it to others as well. It doesnt fit all my products but its ok as the cost is less for the product. Appearance is very ordinary but product is good. The perceived value is great. Useful product.
We looked at different stores and different brands, but Sears had the Kenmore dishwasher on sale. I liked that it had a cutting board top, but I had to rub oil on it a lot to keep it looking good. I liked that it was movable and I could load it in the dining room and move it to the kitchen to run. I also liked that it opened from the top, it held a lot of dishes, not very noisy when running, and was easy to load dishes into it. I also had other Kenmore brand appliances and knew that they were a good dependable brand. But I disliked that when you hooked it to the faucet that you could not use the sink while it ran. It also would have been good to have the hose longer, and have the hook up to the faucet have it so you could still use the faucet. I also had to have the dishwasher tight up to the counter and I would have liked to have a longer electrical cord that plugged into the wall.
The microprocessor control becomes confused at times because some buttons emulate several features. That causes the dishwasher microprocessor to scramble at times. Very frustrating having to wait for it to internally reset! Not enough buttons to properly control the dishwasher features.
My Kenmore dishwasher features high capacity top and bottom racks, and is capable of holding a variety of shapes and sizes of dishes and utensils. It gets dishes clean, saves time and money due to energy efficiency. A great looking model with practical features. I got a great deal - good value for features I wanted, good looking unit. However, I wish the outside door was magnetic. The model is rather loud while in use, and makes it hard to watch television nearby. Sometimes spots remain on glassware too. But overall, my expectations have been met, and I would likely buy this brand again in the future.
The unit does a reasonable job with the daily dishwashing needs. The unit does not perform as well with heavier greased up pots and pans. The unit also falls short if it is filled to its normal capacity.
It is able to wash all of the dishes to get rid of heavy stains. It can fit a lot of my dishes, even my pots and pans. The time it takes to wash them is almost perfect. The settings are simple to understand and I can set them to my preferred preferences. Its like I have another person washing my dishes. It is big enough to hold my dishes but not too big where it takes too much space. It fits perfectly right next to the sink, where I can easily and effortlessly transfer my dishes from the sink to the dishwasher.
Kenmore is the best brand in the business. Theyre quality products with the most advanced technology. They are constantly striving to be better than their competition. I love the heated dry feature and the fast dry feature. I love the energy efficiency. They use so much less energy than the dishwashers of the competition. I also love the whisper quiet feature as it keeps the noise levels to a minimum yet very strong on cleaning the mess. Plus, it takes less water to run the dishwasher than it does to take a shower.
Great dishwasher for everyday use. It gets the job done all the time. Never any problems with it. Does all I can ask for the price I paid for it. Good size. The size I need for it to fit all my dishes and plus more if I ever needed. I would say its the size I would recommend. Maybe other sizes I would buy as well. Has great appearance, looks great in my kitchen, would recommend in any color. Easy to clean and looks great. A brand I would buy again. Looks great all the time. Has great value for the price and gets the job done, better than others for the same price. I would buy this one for the value. Check see if its the one for you.
Bought a dishwasher about 1 yr ago. Worst washer I ever had. If I dont wash the dishes first they dont come out clean and they are never dried. I would never buy another one. I dont know if it has a defect but I cant figure out whats wrong.
Workhorse because it cleans without problems. Spotless and clean with every load! I am really happy with it. I would highly recommend it! It holds quite a load of dishes and pots and pans. I dont always fill it as full as I could. I can put all kinds of dishes in there and never worry about it at all! It is attractive. It is stainless steel with black trim. Buttons work well! It is an attractive machine. It seemed high at the time I bought it but it has lasted well so worth the price paid. I would buy this machine again over and over!
It is very good and cleans well. I like the delay start and different cycles. Hot Water Rinse. Various cycles: China, Pots/Pans, light wash, water miser. 2 racks with flatware basket that sits in the bottom rack. Can hold 20 cups/glasses on top rack and 20 plates and more on bottom. Holds pots well, has two rows of prongs that will lie flat for bigger pans to fit. This is an in the counter dishwasher and all that shows is the front. It is white and is yellowing slightly. I have had it for about 15 years. The bottom basket is metal covered in rubber. The prongs are breaking and to replace the basket would be cost prohibitive. I will have to replace the dishwasher. The basket would have been better had it been a good molded all plastic.
I chose to purchase a Kenmore dishwasher because I have experience with the brand and any appliance I have ever bought from Kenmore worked extremely well. And it tends to be less expensive than other dishwasher brands. I just wanted a reliable dishwasher at a reasonable price and that is what I got. I like that it is easy to use, that you can put a lot of dishes into it, that it cleans the dishes very well and that it is quiet.
I love all the Kenmore brands. Ive always shopped Sears for my washer and dryer or my dishwasher or fridge, microwave. My washer and dryer works like a charm. They work great. I wont buy anything but a Kenmore. Used this brand for years. My mother always bought Kenmore when I was younger. Kenmore is a well-known brand. They look great even after having them for a couple of years now. They are a classic. They never get old. A great value. Love shopping for the Kenmore brand. They are the best. Kenmore and I go way back in time together. Money well spent.
This dishwasher is a medium price appliance which performs like a more expensive model. It is quiet and is thorough in cleaning. I have had it for nine years.
It cleaned well enough but dishes were never dry coming out and it smelled musty. I think dishwashers use more water than necessary and it is faster to wash by hand. Not large enough to wash everything form a large meal or if having company over. Okay for the day to day dinners prepared at home. Had to be careful with plastic and rubber utensils as if they ended up too close to the bottom they would melt. I did not like the vents on the front of the dishwasher. Would have looked better if the vent would have been placed somewhere more visually pleasing. I was not fond of the white either. Little hands and white equals dirty! Worked well when I did not want to do dishes by hand but after awhile I just did them by hand to save water, electricity and not hassle with pre-rinsing the dishes before they got washed.
Takes the gunk right out. Leaving your dishes spotless and clean. I dont have to put it twice. There is no noise coming out. Silent as it washes the dishes. Fits in right where the space Leaving enough room to move around, and enjoy having a machine that size. You can fit all your dishes in there. It has a cute appearance, very presentable. Makes your kitchen look nice and classy, while fitting into how ever your kitchen taste is. You will enjoy it. The value is great, and its worth it. Enjoy the value and the performance. With great quality.
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.
This dishwasher came with the house. I was pleased that it was a Kenmore brand, and it has proved to be a great appliance. It does its job, it is quiet and effective. Ive yet to find any reason to replace it. I will look at Kenmore when I do have to though. The racks are well made so placement of my dishes is easy. Basket for silverware is a breeze to use. The top rack has plenty of room above it for tall glasses and other items that require the top rack. Spacing on the racks is good, items rarely fall through to the bottom rack. But, the placement of the handle where you open the door is not what I would have done. I break a nail almost every time I open it. Other than that there isnt much I would alter about this dishwasher.
It was easy to figure out and use. I had no problems with the quality of cleaning and I would recommend the dishwasher to someone buying one. The size was adequate and I was able to wash my large pans and casserole dishes in it. Fitting oversized objects usually requires strategy, but my experience with this model did not present that problem. It coordinated easily with my kitchen and was visually pleasing . The control panel was legible and easy to use and understand. Other models were available, but I was satisfied with my selection. Comparable brands did not offer the value that I have found with the Kenmore brand. The quality of the product offers is consistently above standard and has always maintained its value.
Kenmore dishwasher was the best price at the time. My mom had the same one and also liked it. Though, I did not like the seal on the door. It leaked once in a while. I also did not like the latch on the door I was not sure if was locked. But I like the hot drying feature, the black face, the racks and silverware racks. I felt it did a good job and was a good value and it saved energy use. I think it was a fine purchase and I would buy one again.
Not only is it old it is loud and it has a problem shutting off after the wash cycle. It is an ongoing problem. Most of the time after it finishes wash cycle it remain on and we have to throw the circuit breaker to get it to turn off. It does a good job cleaning the dishes and holds a good sized load.
Im very happy with the best dishwasher Ive ever had. Its one of the best purchase Ive ever seen in the world. Kenmore is the perfect size to fit just about anywhere in the kitchen and it will save you tons of space. The value is greatly above average for me. I am extremely happy with the way it operates and it looks extremely expensive even though it wasnt that expensive to purchase at all. The look is very impressive to anyone who comes into my home. I dont have any complaints. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to purchase a dishwasher.
The performance of the dishwasher was fast and efficient. I could clean large items with ease and the dry process was quick. Also there was no spots on the dishes either. I have some large pots and pans and those were nice to fit. All my other items that went into the dishwasher fit perfectly. The dishwasher is the perfect size and even if it was bigger, that would be great. I love the look of it. At first, I always thought that stainless steel was not my thing, but after getting this dishwasher, I found it to be nice. Although, if the fingerprints did not show up as easy as they do, that would be a plus. The value of the Kenmore dishwasher is nice and valuable. I always have thought that Kenmore was a good brand. I bought it at Sears which is a name that I can trust and that is why I find Kenmore items to last longer and are very tough.
The reason I chose to purchase these particular Kenmore Dishwasher was because the store was having a sale on the product and it fit my budget and requirements. I like the easy to use buttons, all the different kind of settings to clean and dry the dishes, prewash, and the easy open and lock of the door. However, I dislike the noise it makes when the dishes are washing. I wish it were quiet and when it switched cycles it didnt click or make noises as well. I also wish when they dried it would leave less spots on the dishes.
It worked great and I had no problems with it. It did a very thorough job and I would recommend it to others. The dishes came out sparkling. This dishwasher fit everything. There was room in it for a full load after meals. This was the best dishwasher I have ever had. The way everything fit inside was great. It was very appealing to me when I first saw it. The way it looked caught my eye immediately. It stands out from the rest. My friends compliment on it all the time. At first I thought it was just a typical dishwasher. The value of it has been seen. I no longer have to run dishes through it twice. Once is enough.
This dishwasher was easy to use & understand. It cleaned well & was easy to maintain. Parts were easy to clean & replace if needed. I would highly recommend to anyone. It fit great in my kitchen and didnt take up too much space. I do wish that it was slightly bigger to hold more dishes & wash them all at once. It looks like a typical modern dishwasher. It has a nice clean finish, with a fancy edge. Looked nice enough & cleaned well enough, but I feel like cheaper models could clean just as well for much cheaper cost. I would sacrifice some looks for quality & decreased price point.
Dishwasher is very fast when washing each individual dish. The dishes come out sparkly clean and with little to no residue on them. Button placement on the outside of the machine are clearly marked and show an ease of access when deciding what to do next. Nicely sized with no issues regarding placement. Rectangular shaped and wonderfully angular. Shiny, lots of buttons, medium size, and cleans dishes with no problems. A definitive recommendation for any customer who is looking for a properly sized dishwasher.This dishwasher is very very sleek, defined, and shiny. The metallic, lustrous finish is just one of the many appearances on this machine. Its shape is neither bulky nor small. It is a moderate rectangular of medium size, perfect for any sized kitchen. The dishwasher is a bit on the pricey side. That does not make it not worth it, but in fact worth more than every penny. The appearance, value, size, etc. all make the machine look rather fancy and worth exactly what it is valued at.
It cleaned the dishes very well with limited rinsing and extra work involved. This dishwasher was wonderful. My electric bill was low as well while using it. I would recommend this dishwasher to others and would love to own another one day in the future. This dishwasher was able to fit most things I needed washed. I was able to fit large pots inside, as well as pans like cookie sheets if I loaded it. Plates, bowls, silverware and other things fit nicely on top. This dishwasher was almost all black. This kept it looking cleaner in my opinion. It was a nice blend in my kitchen and went well with my other appliances. This dishwasher was extremely cost effective. It didnt break the budget and was well worth its price. This dishwasher would fit most budgets nicely.
This dishwashers performance is far better than average and performs well by getting dishes clean in every direction. The jets clean both sides of what needs cleaned and not using only one jet like other models. The size is favorable. The unit size is standard 24 inch width. The interior size of the unit. The wire basket top shelf is sufficient for everyday cleaning needs. The appearance of this dishwasher is favorable with a black colored, smooth surface for easy cleaning as the time may be needed for cleaning the surface. Very good value for the price paid for. Cleaning both sides in every direction of your cleaning inside the washer as the jets clean the items placed inside this dishwasher more effectively than other brands.
It washed the dishes well and it lasted pretty long.
It cleans the dishes well and it never leaves spots or any residue on the dishes. The dishwasher gets everything nice and clean and I never have to worry about opening the doors and seeing leftover food on the dishes inside. This dishwasher holds A LOT of dishes. When I have family gatherings I never have to worry about everything not fitting. The racks are far enough apart that I can put lots of pots and pans in there also It looks great! It has a nice clean look to it, I hardly ever have smudges on it. It always looks clean and perfect. It matches with other chrome appliances that I have in my kitchen well. This dishwasher was a great price. I felt that I got a great deal it was priced right with the other dishwashers and I felt that I got a great deal and was not paying more than it was worth.
Water get off grease and everything thats stuck on pot after cooking to make it better. I do not have to do the work of getting the dishes clean. Fit perfect in my small kitchen and its very discrete. No one notice that its there and blends very well with my other appliances. Love the look and the size. Cant put a price on love, cant put a price on what makes your life easy. One less chore is worthy of my $600. Just having to pack the dishes and walk away I would pay an extra 200.
It is a brand I trust and have owned before. It was recommended to me by friends and by family who have used it for years and have had no complaints. We have a very large family that cooks a lot and appreciate not having to wash dishes after preparing such a large meal for our families. Easy to use and gets everything clean which is very important. In my family we have a lot of parties and use the dishwasher a lot for these large special occasions that are very important to my future. We bake BBQ fry so much cooking. I have found this to be the best dishwasher I and my family has ever used. A little hard to load larger pieces in the machine. The one thing that would be better would be if I could fit larger pieces in the dishwasher with more ease. I cook a lot and need room for large dishes.
Any place Ive moved to live always has at least two appliances that are Kenmore brand. Ive known and used Kenmore appliances for years and feel their products are of good quality. I liked the built in smart wash heated rinse and dry. It also seems to not leave the metallic smell, taste and feel of the type of dishwasher detergent I use. Felt it was more sanitary that way. However, a glass front window would be nice and feature to add. For the most part, I am happy with my Kenmore purchase as this is a brand I often use when shopping for household appliances. You pay for what you get.
I know someone that has a Kenmore dishwasher and they are pleased. I also read a lot of online reviews and looked at the features and prices. Then I checked the dishwasher out in person and it seemed to be a great product as well. I like the overall quality and the effectiveness of cleaning the dishes. Also is low volume so I can run it day and night without disturbing my household. Low energy cost and good warranty as well. Its always been consistent and worth the price I paid for it. Wife is happy with it as well.
Ive had other brands of dishwashers before because I was too cheap to get something good and I got what I paid for with those other ones, would have to rewash dishes many times before they came clean even if I rinsed them off really well before putting them in. With my Kenmore, I literally dont even have to rinse my dishes before putting them in and they come out clean with the first wash, saves so much energy and money. This size is perfect for me even though there are only 2 people in my household. Sometimes we arent the best at getting dishes done right away and they accumulate fast. It fits everything great and I usually only need to do one wash per time.Definitely looks sleek and modern. I like that its not white and doesnt get dirty on the front easy. Ive had white ones before that just get dirty to the point that no cleaner can even get whatever is on it off. This one cleans up really nicely and easily. Some models are a little more pricey but the quality is worth it. I wish I hadnt wasted money on other dishwashers in the past because they didnt get the job done right, this one was worth the price and still not as expensive as a lot of the other brands on the market. Very reasonably priced.
I purchased it from Sears because someone was able to help me understand the features and answer my questions about the differences in the various dishwashers and they were on sale. Energy efficiency is a quality that helps my bottom line money. The fact that save energy is huge. Another feature is being able to choose between Smart wash, pots and pans, Normal or 1 hour wash helps. My last dishwasher did not have a pots and pans feature and I hate washing pots. And the stainless steel front is sleek. However, this is not a very quiet dishwasher. I usually start the dishwasher and go to bed and you can hear the dishwasher upstairs. It would be nice to have the sounds absorbed somehow.
Lots of functionality. Works very well. Love the hand wash cycle. Love how big the load is... Its huge! My favorite washer machine. Sometimes washing rugs it gets noisy and leaks water. Only when the wash a bulky load. Very reliable. Feels like clothes are made clean. Love that it has so many options. Love the clean function because it can get smelly. I try not to wash out bedding because I dont want it nasty inside. Its a very appealing product. It looks nice and substantial. Looks expensive. Does wiggle sometimes with big loads. It looks nice enough to leave laundry door open. It was a fair price as long as its durable. Products need to be more durable, made to last. Make the name actually mean something. Ill pay more for better quality thats durable. Makes me disheartened when stuff breaks.
I dont really have to prewash my dishes, I always rinse them, I always have. Its a good dishwasher. I dont worry about leftover residue on my dishes after washing. I have 2 children and I have no problem getting all my dishes in the dishwasher. This includes sippy cups and tops. I cook a lot and it fits my casserole dishes, sauce pans and skillets.It is plain but it gets the job done. Appearance isnt everything to me so Im totally fine with it. I like plain and simple. If you dont need all the frills and fancy things that you get sometimes in appliances, this dishwasher would be good for you. I dont have a lot of extra cash laying around but I think this dishwasher was reasonably priced. It was a little more than I wanted to spend but I would rather pay for a little more for a product and know that Im getting a good quality product.
The dishwasher is a fantastic one. We replaced an older whirlpool with this one and have never been happier. For the price it really will clean almost anything you throw at it.
I am an owner of the Kenmore Elite dishwasher that I have bought in 2004 (8 years ago) from Sears Canada (model 666.16462300; SER FR1509082). Ive been told that the dishwasher was made by Whirlpool. It has been a good dishwasher aside that the door was noisy. Last night when I turned it on there was a black smoke with smell of burned rubber and flames coming out from the top of the door and one can see sparks behind the buttons as well. I just want owners of the same dishwasher be aware of the potential fire hazard. If we weren’t home when it happened, we could have lost our house. Multiple times I have tried to contact both Sears and Whirlpool to file a complaint and to ensure a follow up, but nobody is interested to come and look at the dishwasher to establish what the issue was unless Im willing to pay for it. I dont care about repairing the old one. I just want my dishwasher incident investigated for safety of other consumers.
The power wash feature proves that this dishwasher is a great appliance. I dont have to pre-wash stuck on food and greasy residue. When I pull the dishes from the dishwasher, they come out sparkling clean. Also, the dishwasher is extremely quiet to operate and uses very little water and electricity. Although we are empty nesters, we do have parties around the holidays and the dishwasher can be tested with the amount of plates and cups requiring cleansing. It has come through every time. The stainless steel is awesome and I would never go back to painted appliances. It is so easy to clean with a little polish and when its clean it shines so much. I love it! Appliances are not cheap anymore but this one seems to have been a great salute for us. We spent about the median price for name brand appliances.
We have now several Kenmore items, and never had a problem with any. Recommend to others for a great product. We have a Kenmore vacuum, washer and dryer, dishwasher and had a microwave for 8 years.
Quality, cleans perfectly. The majority of the time, it gets sticky spots cleaned up. Dont need to pre-rinse, or use extra soap tablets. The size is big enough for most dishes, and I can fit my Crock-Pot inside the plate rack. The silverware section is well organized as well. It looks good, but there are some things that arent that visually appealing. Could use smoother corners on the sides. Only suggestion would be to make it a nicer color. Id personally recommended this dishwasher. It cleans well and is worth the original value. Totally would buy it again, and suggest it to friends.
The fridge keeps everything at the correct temperature and its spacious. Adjustable clear glass shelving is also a nice feature because it makes it so easy to take apart and clean. Removable door shelves are dishwasher safe and also adjustable. Its great for people that have children. For a family of three I would prefer a larger refrigerator with more freezer room, but the refrigerator does look nice and fits great in a smaller kitchen. Nice shine on the white surface. The clear coating makes it extremely easy to clean with just hot water. More stubborn stains clean quite well with a spray cleaner. For the size its worth the price. This refrigerator will last a long time. Ive had mine for years and love it.
Kenmore Dishwasher is a great size. I have a family of five and I always have enough room. I put the pots and plates on the bottom, and the cups and bowls on the top. I dont even have to rinse dishes off before putting in. They come out sparkling every time and it makes doing dishes so much easier. I love the appearance. It is stainless steel just like all the other appliances in my kitchen. And, the price is so worth every penny! You could get a cheaper dishwasher but that is exactly what it will be. Along with cheaper price you will get poor quality and problems. I would definitely recommend this dishwasher to everyone.
Cleans deep down stuck on dirt and odors. Super fast washing and drying. It never leaves a spot. I remember my grandmother always having one in her home so it makes me feel connected. Plenty of space for large pots, skillets, casseroles and pans. I can usually fit my wash load in the machine. There are nifty shelves, basket and shape overall. I can fit many large items into the dishwasher. The dishwasher is sleek, modern, shiny and up to date. I love the beautiful black color and digital face. Easy to clean and resists scratching. I dont have to really clean the dishwasher much. Fantastic smooth feel to it also. I am completely happy with the price paid for my dishwasher. I love this brand! Their products are precise, beautifully designed, and very modern to fit with any decor. The performance is amazing. I never see spots or food left behind and I dont have to wait hours for the machine to do its duty.
Good everyday basic dishwasher. The short wash cycle cleans just as well as the long - saves time and energy. It has the push bubbles for controls which is easier to clean than the old-fashioned manual knobs and probably has longer life knobs. On the other hand, heated dry takes a long time. It is noisier than other models because it does not have good thick insulation surrounding the tub or any sound dampening in the motor area on surrounding the tub. Its a Whirlpool in disguise at a better price. It does a good job. Kenmore (Sears private label brand) does not do their own manufacturing but farm out to other makers to create the appliances for them.
In 2016 I purchased a Kenmore Elite 14793 Dishwasher based on years of experience with Kenmore (I have purchased washer and dryers, and refrigerators from them) and never had a issue. 4 months ago, during a load of dishes started drying, I could suddenly smell smoke and plastic burning. Upon inspecting the dishwasher, I found a wheel had fallen off the lower rack and melted and was burning on the heating element. I cleaned the mess up the best I could and saw that the wheels were held onto the rack with a small plastic piece. I contacted Sears parts department and ordered the replacement wheels (one set of two on a plastic mount). The woman I talked to on the phone told me that she had just had another call for the same thing and had other calls on this as well. No good. They know there is a problem and wont correct it. The cost for the wheel assembly was more than $50 with shipping.When I went to remove the rack and replace the old wheel assembly, three more wheels fell off. The small plastic bushing that holds the wheels on were all shrunken and cracked. Obviously they were very cheap and not meant to be used in such a hot environment. Kenmore advised that since there has been no recall and its not under warranty that there is nothing they can do but sell me the parts to fix it. Why would I buy $200 in parts that will not last 3 years. This company no longer produces quality dishwashers and will not stand behind obvious defective parts.
The performance of my dishwasher is amazing!! It doesnt leave any filth, grime, or spots whatsoever! It even cleans those hard to reach areas that you normally have to get by hand! Very happy! The size of my dishwasher is perfect! I can for everything I need to! The dishwasher is compatible for all sizes of cookware! I have had no issues with the size at all and I own a ton of cookware! Even my largest pans and kettles fit! The appearance of my dishwasher is very nice! It fits well in the kitchen, it blends in with all other appliances in my kitchen as well. It definitely is a eye catcher when people walk into the kitchen. The value of my dishwasher was worth every single penny spent! It has a warranty as well. The company is amazing. I know Ill get my moneys worth out of it because I already am! It saves so much time and space as well.
It cleaned the dishes amazingly. I have never seen my dishes so clean. The process was quick and efficient. I highly recommend this dishwasher if you want your dishes clean. It is an alright size but it could fit most of my dishes but some I had to wait to do them separate. This shouldnt stop you from getting it. So what if it doesnt fit all of the dishes, it fits most. Though the performance is great the design was slacking big time. It could look so much better but dont judge a book by its cover. The appearance shouldnt throw you off too much. The price was so worth it. You might think its a little too much but the value for the performance is great. I know, I usually have a problem with prices but this my only exception.
The performance of our Kenmore dishwasher has been something our family has depended on for years. It has made it easy for us to know exactly what to expect no matter what type of dishes/glassware we put in it. This built-in dishwasher fits in just right for our kitchen size, surrounding cabinets and in proportion to the other appliances. Although ours is a white dishwasher, it has remained very easy to keep clean inside and out! The color has stayed true and has not faded out or yellowed over time. The price we paid for our dishwasher has come back to us many, many times over as it saves on water and can be counted on to clean everything the first time so there is never a need to re-run the same items.
Work perfectly in my home. It is good and fit my place in perfectly way. It has a lot of space for my dishes and its clean perfectly, dry well, save electricity, and I love it. I love the stainless steel color of it. Its not big from outside and save place, but in the other way its big inside and I can include all of my dishes. I love the appearance of Kenmore dishwasher. It fit my kitchen. It goes with the the color of my kitchen. I bought it long time ago. Im satisfied with the price. Im satisfied with everything included with Kenmore dishwasher. I recommend everybody to buy Kenmore dishwasher.
I bought a Kenmore Elite dishwasher from Sears approximately 5 years ago. The dishwasher just caught on fire this evening. I was lucky that I was home. The whole control panel was sending out smoke, flames, and electrical sparks. I would like to know if there is a recall on this model. No damage was done to my house or kitchen, since I was home and was there in time to shut down the circuit breakers. the Model #655,16052400 Ser FR3702473 type 577-0.
We have a Kenmore dishwasher now and have had Kenmores of different kinds; all with good luck. Good brand for anyone. I fully recommend them for your use. We also have a freezer and refrigerator from Kenmore. Over the years we have used Kenmore many, many times.
We bought this dishwasher (Sears Kenmore Dishwasher Model 66513409N410) 11/2014 & are extremely disappointed. We paid 549.99 sale price & thinking that it was smarter to pay a bit more for a better product. NOT SMART AT ALL!!! It doesnt clean very well and the motor stopped working after only 1 year and 2 months... We cant afford a new one so we hard to order a new motor for $68 to replace it. We do not recommend it... This is the 2nd Sears dishwasher in 4 years. 1st was cheaper and didnt last long either. NEVER AGAIN BUYING AT SEARS... They could not do anything to help me with this situation. UGHHH Lesson Learned!!
Im very happy with the performance of my dishwasher. Leave my glasses shiny and not dull. I would recommend to anyone needing a replacement. The size overall is pretty decent. I could always use more space for more dirty dishes, but overall it gets the job done. I have awkward shaped bowls that take up so much space. The overall appearance of my dishwasher is quite nice. I didnt want to spend a fortune on a dishwasher, and I think this was nice quality and looks for what I paid. I think the overall value of my dishwasher is excellent! I got a great deal, it leaves my dishes shiny and clean, and it looks great in my kitchen.
It functions, cleans my dishes nice, quickly, efficiently. My only issue is it rusts very easy. I need to continuously paint over the rust with a product for that every few months/washes. Its big enough. Not too big. It can easily hold the dishes for a family of four, with give or take a little bit of room left for surplus dishes. It does not take up too much space. What I got was reasonably priced. For the functionality, its good. I think however next time Id purchase a more premium quality one to avoid rusting out so quickly.
The dishwashers performance clean your dishes so well you dont even need to add soap. Best dishwasher Ive ever owned and I love Kenmore. Kenmore is very efficient. Great size. I have a full sink of dishes and a Kenmore dishwasher can take all the dishes and stack them on top of all the dishes and they still all come out clean. The Kenmore is very good to look at. Its an eye-catcher, everybody who comes into my house as well as a really nice looking dishwasher what company is it. Enterprise very reasonable. Great value. Very glad that I researched Kenmore in the dishwasher. Its a great dishwasher. I recommend it to everybody.
It is a very durable dishwasher. I had the dishwasher for about 7 years and it has no problems. I am very happy with the product and would recommend to others. It is not large at all. It is a small fit and does not take up a lot of room. I think it is very good fit in my kitchen and would be able to fit any kitchen easily. It looks very chic and sophisticated. I like the white color because it stands out and lightens up the kitchen. Black would be very dark and not recommended. This was a great value. For the durability and performance of the dishwasher this was a great buy. Kenmore normally has outstanding products and this is no exception.
I can no longer use the rinse aid feature. Does a poor job cleaning. It has great features, but they dont work anymore. Stopped working in less than a year. Totally adequate. Looks fine. Just doesnt work all that well. It was great when it worked. Made a big difference in the way dishes looked and its been very disappointing ever since.
It has 3 different wash settings. Heavy, normal, or 1 hour. Its quiet. The heated dry dries the dishes pretty well, better than other dishwashers that Ive used with a heated dry setting in the past. I dislike that sometimes it doesnt clean even the smallest stains. When I take dishes out the dishwasher a lot of the time some of the dishes still come out with stains or tiny bits of food particles that I didnt see when I rinsed them off before I put them into the dishwasher. But it meets most of my expectations. Its not the best dishwasher that Ive ever owned but its also not the worst dishwasher that Ive ever owned either, about a 6 out of 10 on a scale of 1 to 10.
My kids gave me a brand new dishwasher as a Christmas present bought from Sears. It stopped working after two washes and a technician came to repair it and told me that there was a shortage which wiped the whole electrical system. I contacted Sears and stated that this has to be malfunctioning at the factory and need to replace it not repair it. However, I am still fighting them. It is a horrible experience.
I have had my Kenmore dishwasher since we built our house 27 years ago. It is still working great. I wish it was quieter to run. Most of my Kenmore appliances have bit the dust but not the dishwasher.
DO NOT BUY A KENMORE REFRIGERATOR. Have washer, dryer dishwasher, theyre fine. This piece of garbage ruined $300 of food. Took 5 days for repair appt. then told addl 8 days for part. Spent over an hour trying to lodge a complaint, hung up in frustration. Still waiting on repair. Bought early March of this year. I seldom write reviews but this experience fried my...
Nozzles are ideally placed to hit all items, regardless of how badly stacked. The Normal routine is a little longer than what I thought is necessary but Im sure there was copious research involved. The utensil tray is a little small but is movable to accommodate larger pots on the bottom shelf if needed. This dishwasher is super quiet. Trays are nicely separated to accommodate the majority of dishes. Wash arms are recessed to allow full use of space. Stainless steel stains easily. I would never purchase stainless steel appliances again, especially a dishwasher. Door must be opened to access pause button. Noisy with original sound blanket. If you have another, install that to lighten the noise. Overall, a great dishwasher that steadily performs up to two loads a day, 365 days a year.
My dishwasher`s performance is satisfactory. So far I had no issues or any troubles with it. It works good and is fully functional as promised in the description. I am pretty happy with the size of the dishwasher. It can fit all of my needed items and still has some space in it. I cant recommend it to everyone. It really depends on your personal needs. I am satisfied with the appearance of the dishwasher. It doesnt look like an exclusive design or anything like that, pretty basic, but it does the job, and that what matters to me at the end of the day. I am happy with the price to value ratio for this machine. I believe it is not overpriced, just the right priced for all the features/job that can be done with it.
The dishwasher is and was a good purchase and it worked as advertised. We are happy for the overall experience and we would buy another one soon. The size is a standard size but it has a unique shape that allows me to fit dishes in a more efficient manner. Highly recommend it and it is awesome. The appearance is very modern and compliments our kitchen with its sleek design and we have received comments to how great it looks. Thanks because it is an awesome machine. The value of the machine seems very high because it works well and no matter what happens it has always TU. Well and is a very important appliance in our house.
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.
This dishwasher was purchased with our kitchen remodeling project. The stainless steel look matches well with other Kenmore Elite appliances. It is a little darker than the Samsung stainless finish. The dishwasher is fine for our family of four adults. We can get two to three days between loads but at holiday times we often must load and run twice for an extended family meal. This dishwasher is so quiet one often does not realize it is running. Holds a good amount and easy to load and operate. The silverware tray is occasionally in the way and too large. Kenmore Elite line appliances are not budget models. The value received is middle of the pack for premium lines. Some are better. Many are worse.
It does a good job of cleaning the dishes. It leaves little to no spots on glasses. You need to scrape the dishes real good as to not leave a lot on them. It has enough room to hold all the dishes I use on a typical day. Cannot always fit all dishes in it if I have a lot of company over and use a lot of pots. The color fits in to the decor of my kitchen. Easy to see all controls but small enough not to be overpowering. The overall set up is easy to use. At the time of purchase it was the best value for the money I was willing to spend. Came in a variety of colors and does a good job for the price.
Works very well. Very quiet and uses less water while cleaning the dishes effectively. One of the best dishwashers on the market. Perfect size and fits nicely under the counter. Definitely worth every penny and would definitely recommend purchasing. Great product backed up by great service. Sleek clean design that is both functional and modern. Will fit in any kitchen decor and make your kitchen look modern.
Water heats well... Dishes are not just cleaned but sterilized. Glasses look great as do utensils. Its reliable, easy to use. Convenient. I can get pots and large dishes (like platters) in without problems. Tall glasses fit better on the bottom shelf and I place large serving and cooking spoons, knives and forks flat in the shelf. Nice, clean lines, lights are easy to see and the dials are easy to read. Like the way it compliments my other appliances. Husband likes it well, also as he often loads it. Does a good job w/ economical time and limited water usage. It quickly pays for itself w/ the economical usage and quickness in cleaning.
Runs smoothly, not super loud, always cleans everything. The dishwasher has been running great. I never have had any issues with the dishwasher. The size fits my area in the kitchen great. I love that the size is not too big but yet it fits really well. I have enjoyed the washer machine. The metal has fit well together with my whole kitchen. I would like the buttons on the front though. That is the only problem I have had. The washer seemed a little expensive for my budget and thought it works well but yet the price definitely works for how they uses. I just think for the middle class it might be much.
