Kenmore Dishwasher Repairs

If you're looking for help fixing your Kenmore Dishwasher, look no further! Our comprehensive Kenmore Dishwasher repair guide will explain common issues, provide tips, and maybe show you how to repair your appliance.

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.

It was quiet and got everything clean. I loved this dishwasher. Tough on grease and dried food but I would only recommend liquid dishwasher soap as that worked best in this dishwasher. I could fit large 8 quart pots and pans, along with large dishes, glasses, silverware, other utensils and it still got everything very clean. Did not leave any grease or caked on food on the dishes, silver, glasses or pots and pans. I loved the white color as it made the kitchen appear bright, roomy and cheery. I chose this over a black model because I wanted the kitchen to look bright and happy even though having white showed the dust more which was no problem to me. The value was good considering dishwashers can be quite expensive. If I had to buy all over again, I would choose a Kenmore because they seem to work well and the prices are not out of reach and can fit any budget.

This dishwasher was purchased brand new in 2013. By 2016 we had to completely replace the core mechanical guts of this dishwasher. And now in January 2019 it is failing again. When it works it does a great job. But what kind of appliance which cost $1000 has a life expectancy of three years before needing its entire motor assembly to be replaced. And then two years after that it is not working. Kenmore is garbage! No wonder Sears is going under. Apparently Kenmore is made by Whirlpool. They should be ashamed of themselves. Do not buy a Kenmore dishwasher before reading the plethora of bad reviews.

Did the job and never had any maintenance performed while living at the address. Consistent with other Kenmore appliances. Very reliable. Standard capacity accommodates the average kitchen utensils. No problems fitting in pots and pans. Top shelf held dishes, bowls and glasses. Plain front standard white. Easy to clean and did not stain. User controls were tilted at an angle towards the user. The drain was easy to clear when needed. Better value than an entry level washer. It did perform at a reasonable volume while also cleaning the dishes. Had no issues with dishes coming out dirty.

The dishwasher I had was very good and clean the dishes very good without having to wash the dishes first. It left quite a shine on the dishes when using a liquid washer. It was 36 in by 48 in high with wheels so that I could roll it around. It very Durable and lightweight. The kitchen was very small but got the job done. It was very light - maybe a white or a off white in color but very good looking dishwasher that I would recommended to family or friends. I know they would like it. It was very rate highly by myself and other that visit my house. The price was very reasonable and very well adjusted. The price was very low and I like that.

I use the dishwasher a lot, had no problem with it, and no repairs needed. It cleans dishes great. Used cascade with it, cleans everything off and no water spots. It fits all of my items inside and fits right beside my sink. Great with pans and pots, work amazingly well with glasses, and the sliding tray is a lifesaver. The size and the appearance are great. Outside needs to be cleaned sometimes but it looks great with the overall kitchen decor. Cleaning it with soap and water usually does the trick but doesnt get that dirty that often. The dishwasher works great, and has a great height and width. It would sell for a good price. I love it.

I purchased this dishwasher because it had great reviews from Consumer Reports! After 3 years the bottom power wash blade has stopped working, and the appliance repairman said the motor is shot, and its leaking. He suggested buying a new dishwasher! I paid $1100 for this machine. No, I did not purchase an extended warranty. In addition around the same time I purchased a Sears side by side refrigerator that we keep in our garage. The temperature gauge had to be replaced as well. What has happened to Sears quality. I will never purchase another Sears appliance again.

Gets the job done. The dishes come out clean. Rarely theres dishes which have marks, but for the most part 9/10 performance. Nothing is perfect, but this is somewhat on its way. The size is enough to load a nights dinner mess and portions of breakfast and lunch. Has handy compartments for silverware and other smaller utensils. The overall appearance of the item is one of something sleek, innovative, but sadly nothing original. Its nice but similar designs can be seen on numerous other products. Looks great, gets the job done, adequate space, you get what you pay for! If only you could offer more coupons Id purchase even more.

Very happy with the performance of this dishwasher. It cleans exactly like it is needed to. The size of this dishwasher is exactly what is needed in my home. It is able to handle several days of kitchen mess before it has to be run. The appearance of this machine is pleasing to the eyes in my kitchen. It is not plain nor is it crazy expensive looking. I think it is exactly what is needed in my house. I think the value of this dishwasher is ok. It was priced a little high when we bought it from a local retailer. They did not have any sales going on at the time of purchase.

Having a family of 5 and cooking 3 meals a day, I needed a dishwasher like this. We live in the country and are on a well, so conserving water in the summer time when rain is minimal is a must in our house. This dishwasher gets the job done, and saves us time and money. Easily have enough space to put all my dishes from a meal, pots and pans, and all the glasses from the day in this thing. I needed a dishwasher that I could easily fit all my dishes from dinner in, and get them all done in one load, and this dishwasher gets the job done. It is sleek and high tech looking. It is defines my kitchen and makes it look well put together.I love the stainless steel front. It is easy to clean or wipe off. It is a head turner when my friends or family come over. I would have to say, if you are looking for quality and efficiency at the same time, this one is going to be the best bang for your buck. It was not the cheapest model we could have went with, but it saves more money being an HE dishwasher and is well worth the extra dollars spent.

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.

Paid big bucks for the Kenmore Elite dishwasher (Model 665.1279) and it has leaked and bulked my hardwood floors. After supposedly repairing my dishwasher it has leaked again and another part ordered. Not only have I been weeks without a dishwasher it is still not repaired and waiting for another part. This dishwasher should have been recalled due to a problem with the motor and other faulty parts. I will never depend on Kenmore for my appliances. Kenmore has failed its customers. Supposedly I was supposed to have a call from damage claim but have not heard. One problem is that Sears has only people that cant understand English and lack communications problems, therefore this presents a problem in getting results. Will never buy another Kenmore product.

I have had a lot of Kenmore products in my home. My refrigerator. My washer and dryer. My hot water heater and both of my microwaves. I like the way I choose to start my Kenmore Dishwasher. You select your cycle, close the door then it goes on. I also like the choice of many cycles. I usually rinse my dishes first so I can use less washing time. However, I would like to be able to put some larger things in the dishwasher. Some of the racks have small adjustments, but I have more than it can handle. It could also be a little quieter. Nevertheless, I have always had a good experience with Kenmore.

This dishwasher cleans dishes ok. I still need to a good rinse because food residue may still be on my dishes. It is quiet in a small townhouse. It does not have many settings. This dishwasher is big enough for one person. If you have more than one person, it will fill up fast. If I had to do it again, I would go for an upgraded dishwasher. The dishwasher shows dirt, but it is easy to clean. This dishwasher is not the prettiest, but it gets the job done when it is used. The color matches my refrigerator. This dishwasher is okay. It will help save money on your water bill even though you have to make sure your dishes are rinsed well.

It is a good brand and can be trusted in cleaning the dishes. Have been using this brand for years so I know this brand is tested and trusted. Very efficient in cleaning. Good in sanitizing. The timer is doing great. It is easy to use and operate. Perfectly fit in our tiny kitchen. But some cant hardly remove hard grease and dirt. Longer the time in cleaning and rinsing and sanitize more properly. It can help save water while using the unit.

We bought this Kenmore Elite Ultraclean Dishwasher 665.1278 Model for 900.0
We bought this Kenmore Elite Ultraclean Dishwasher 665.1278 Model for 900.00 dollars back in July of 2014. After one year of use the heating element in the door panel went out. When we called out a service repairman he told us this was one of two of the most expensive parts to replace and that these parts wear out quickly. We went ahead and paid for the repair that ended up costing us over 200.00, then decided to buy a one year warranty just in case. By the time the one year warranty was up the same door panel heating element went out along with some type of gear in the door panel. I cant believe we paid 900.00 for what was supposed to be the best of the best of Kenmore dishwashers back then only to have it break down on a yearly occurrence. I would not recommend this dishwasher. This has left such a bad taste in our mouths that we are not going to buy Kenmore in the future for ANY appliance. Period.

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 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!

Tonight, my Kenmore Elite 665 model control panel caught on fire. I was upstairs and my two daughters were yelling that something was burning. I came downstairs to find my kitchen full of smoke. The front of my dishwasher, the plastic has melted and there was soot on the stainless steel. We opened the control panel and everything was melted. I can not imagine what would have happened if I were not home. I have tried to call Kenmore but I was transferred 3 times. I want this thing replaced, I know it is not the first time this has happened. We are not the original owners, if it broke fine, but this could have burned our home down or injured someone in my family. Doesnt Sears or Kenmore care about that? I have seen numerous complaints about this same issue online. People have gone to the local news agencies just to get the word out. Do I need to take it that far? I need something done rather quickly to fix this situation. I have photos that I can pass on.

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.

My old old Kenmore dishwasher bit the dust and I decided to buy another....
My old old Kenmore dishwasher bit the dust and I decided to buy another....knowing full well there are only actually about 3 companies that manufacture dishwashers and Kenmore is not one of them. Depending on model and item Kenmore appliances are made by LG, Whirlpool or Frigidaire. A crap shoot. I also purchased a new frig and the salesperson was very clear that “today’s appliances last from 5-7 years.” Wow. That’s encouraging.That said, I will begin with the positives, I bought a Kenmore Elite, a “smart dishwasher” that uses considerably less water than the dishwasher it replaced. Environmentally important to me, but also personally important as we use a water softener/conditioner and the iron removing rock salt we use to make our water passable is spendy stuff. And less water going into our septic system as well. It is also surprisingly quiet. As in, “is this thing running?” The black stainless is nice to look at and doesn’t fingerprint easily. It also cleans well and I love the third rack with the portion that lowers. Great for serving utensils.Here’s my REAL complaint. The bottom rack is shoddily made and the crappy plastic wheels have no actual “track” to run on. The entire rack constantly shifts from left or right and when the rack is full it is very heavy to adjust while searching for the “sweet spot” where the rack will smoothly roll. I keep looking at the manual (a sketchy little booklet at best) to see if there is something I’m missing. How can such a basic thing be so difficult? Pulling the rack out and pushing the rack back in is impossible and the entire rack shifting from side to side is almost guaranteed. Any suggestions? Could there be something missing from the bottom of the rack? Or is is just cheap manufacturing and crappy engineering? I need to figure this out. In truth I’m guessing the manufacturers attitude is to chill out. It’ll need to be replaced in 5 years anyway. Get over it. If NOT for the bottom rack problem I would be happy.

This is a very efficient and energy effective dishwasher. My dishes come out very clean and spotless. I am very satisfied with this appliance. The size is very large but that is understandable for the amount of power it has and it holds a lot of dishes which is convenient with a family of 6 in our household. So size is not too much of an issues. This dishwasher is so sleek and modern looking. Its beautiful design goes well with our other stainless steel appliances. I like that there are no buttons on the front which adds to the streamline look for this dishwasher. We received a wonderful deal on our dishwasher from the appliance store. Its value is tenfold with the amount of money we are saving from energy and water. Very efficient and very very satisfied with the value of this item.

The reason I chose the Kenmore dishwasher is because it was on sale but it is also a well known brand. I like the appearance of it. It also matched my kitchen colors. I thought it had an attached look to it and it looks expensive but it wasnt. I was expecting it to be quiet, fast and efficient and it is. However, the only thing I would probably change about the Kenmore dishwasher is that I wish it had a bigger capacity. Sometimes I have very large pans that I would love to fit but the only way to fit them is to not have a full dishwasher. Other than that, it is really roomy. I might be the only one that has that big of pans so it might not be considered the same opinion as others. I love the fact that it is energy efficient. I can put in a load and in about 30 min they are clean. They dont have any stuck on food. The Kenmore dishwasher had very simple buttons and is not complicated at all. It makes washing dishes very pleasant.

A couple of things I really liked about the Kenmore dishwasher I owned was it was very quiet while running. But the most important thing is that it was easy to clean the debris trap inside. However, one of the things I noticed is it would often not totally clean the dishes as it DID when I first got it. I would sometimes not always have to run the washer twice. I purchased because it came highly recommended by a friend who is very knowledgeable about major appliances. Still, its a great machine. And yes, Kenmore has met my expectations and I am satisfied.

For being a mediocre dishwasher the value was good. It came with my apartment so I cant complain and as long as I did regular maintenance, it worked. It washed the dishes but only mediocrely. It would constantly leave spots on the glass and leftover food on my dishes so it needed constant maintenance. Also, it was smaller than I needed. I like to make casseroles but I would have trouble fitting both my casserole dish and regular dishes together. However, I like the sleek design and it fit well with the decor of my kitchen. It had a very modern feel and it was easy to maintain the appearance.

I thought it was a decent dishwasher. It was reasonably timed and my dishes always came out clean. I didnt have to worry about soap build up with this dishwasher. The size was medium. I was able to fit all my plates on top and most of my pots on the bottom shelf. I liked the silverware holder. I thought it was convenient. I really liked the dishwashers color. It matched the rest of my appliances and the knobs were easy and functional. I thought it would be cool if the color was blue. I feel like I got my money worth the product. Last an average amount of time and I washed a ton of dishes in it plus the color and style was great with a unique little touch.

I have found this to be a very dependable dishwasher that I can count on to leave my dishes clean. It runs long enough to do a good job but not too long so as to be wasteful. I do worry about efficiency as I have had some dishwashers in the past that run for over an hour, which is too long. Its an average size and good for a couple or small family. It holds 6-8 plates and there is plenty of room for glasses and silverware. Its a standard looking dishwasher, nothing special, but it blends into my kitchen very well and isnt noticeable. Its mainly silver with black trim and would work in most kitchens. It runs efficiently and uses a moderate amount of water so I feel it is a good choice. The price was fair for the performance. I feel it is a good value.

Works great! Gets all the food and grease off the dishes. Leaves the dishes spotless. High water pressure. Affordable for families with low incomes! It is a nice size. We live in a smaller 2 bedroom apartment and it is the perfect size for our small kitchen. It fits a lot of dishes in there too. Love the stylish appearance. Clean with a stainless steel cleaner and you can see yourself in it. Love everything about the look. I wish it was a little cheaper. But for the price it is an amazing appliance! It has worked perfectly for me so far. I did not get a discount or get it on sale.

I used Kenmore Dishwasher every 1 -2 days and it always cleaned dishes perfectly. It had energy saving options as well which was a good feature to have. Often set it to run in the night and operated quietly. It was always big enough to hold several meals worth of dishes thereby allowing for us to only run it every other day. Its good to be able to do it this way. We chose the black front to blend in and be less visible. The panel was easy to keep clean and looked nice. Some visitors even commented on how nice the piece looked in our kitchen which I found interesting. Price was about what youd expect to pay for a dishwasher and I felt like the Kenmore brand was a quality brand that spoke for itself.

High speed gets my dishes clean the way I expect them to be. You wont find many dishwashers can do what Kenmore can. I dont like washing dishes so lol. Size is perfect for all your dishes, pots, pans, etc. Love it. You can put a lot more in this dishwasher than you can the original dishwasher. I would think everyone wants a big dishwasher so you dont have to start it twice. Very nice appearance. Love the colors. It brings out your kitchen. Some dishwashers makes your kitchen look horrible. Personally me I like for my dishwasher and my washer and dryer to blend in with my kitchen. Very nice price. A little expensive but its worth the price. It also last longer. You get your moneys worth out of what youre paying for. I rather pay a little more knowing it will last longer and do a better job than pay less and you are very disappointed.

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.

The dishwasher has done well in my two family household. Not too many dishes are done recently but still the dishwasher has had a few instances such as family dinners where it was tested. Cleaned well. No complaints thus far. The top shelf when used holds a few plates for about 5-7 adults and several drinking glasses. The bottom shelf holds around 10 plates for me, baking pans and a few other containers still with space left. Honestly the inside does not matter as much as the outside stainless steel. The external has held up so far and is easy to clean and doesnt scratch easily. It was less than $500 at time of purchase from store. Free delivery. I am not sorry for price paid. Good value. More than paid for itself so far especially in terms of time.

Dishes are clean with minimal rinsing. Mostly comes out of the dishwasher with no spots and water marks. It tends not to leave my glass bowls and dishes cloudy. I am happy to load a normal days dishes plus a bit more. It fits into the space it is designed for, it blends well into my cupboards bigger plates, and pots fit ok. The black finish matches my darker cupboards and kind of blend in. I like the way it looks even though I have stainless other appliances on my white cupboards. We were able to buy it on sale. Larger the size lets load more dishes and wash less. This lets us save energy water and soap. We are happy with the price we paid.

Overall, it cleans the dishes. However, some pots and pans it never cleans. Also it is very loud. Sometimes, I have to handwash dishes like if I poach a chicken or make mashed potatoes. The dishwasher gets ran almost every day. If it were larger then, I would not have to run it as frequently and could save water. Water is an important resource. The dishwasher is plain black which is satisfactory. It looks like pretty much every other single dishwasher ever made except white or stainless ones. It is a decent value. However, the next dishwasher that I buy will be quieter with more features. This dishwasher is pretty basic.

Its was full size that fitted under my sink and it was silver and had a full speed wash load and hot or cold wash load and you didnt have to use a lot of dishwashing soap for it. The overall of my dishwasher was good for me when I had dinner parties, birthday parties, sleepovers for my kids. Just loved it so much. You should get one build in. The value was good for me. I only 3600 for it and my husband installed it for me so I saved a lot of money on my dishwasher and Im going to get another in my new home next week so its was good for my family.

Dishes did not come out clean. The parts in the dishwasher were cheap and broke easily. Our dishwasher broke just outside of the warranty period. The size was fine. It could use a sturdier rack system. This is one part of the dishwasher with which I am not completely frustrated. It fits into the allotted space in my kitchen. It is a decent size to clean dishes from several meals. The dishwasher is aesthetically pleasing. I do prefer the stainless steel that I upgraded to after this dishwasher broke. The control panel looks nice. This dishwasher was flimsy, poorly made, and inefficient. I plan to never purchase a Whirlpool or Kenmore appliance ever again. Cheap. Cheap. Cheap.

It has a large capacity so I only use it once a week putting dishes in it all week and even then it usually is not full. It does a good job of cleaning the dishes. It is much bigger inside than I thought it would be when I first saw it. It is big enough to hold a weeks worth of dishes without looking crowded. It does look plain on the outside but the controls are clear and easy to understand and use. I had no problem figuring out how to set it. I like that it is very well designed inside and outside. I didnt have to choose this model myself as it came with the apartment. However, I went to a couple of stores that sell dishwashers so I could see what it would have cost if I had bought it. It is well worth what it would have cost me to buy it new as it is very well designed and has a lot of room inside for a lot of dishes and even when it is packed full it still gets all the dishes clean.

It was capable of holding all of my dishes, including all of my utensils. It was able to clean everything quite well, and it worked very quietly. It was easy to load, and unload. Nothing complicated.

Id highly recommend it to anyone shopping for an affordable reliable dishwasher. Fit well in a small apartment kitchen. Although it wasnt large, it handled large loads extremely well. It fit numerous plates, cups, and pans with no decrease in cleaning ability. Simple aesthetic, not too fancy or gaudy with a ton of controls and buttons or displays. It looks clean and sophisticated and will work nicely with any kitchen design or decor. Affordable machine. Not too cheap to where you feel like youre buying a dud. It works extremely well for the price you pay for it. I was highly satisfied with this machine and the price.

Holidays I really love my dishwasher. I can fill it up and not worry about pulling dirty dishes out. My dishes and pans come out clean every time. It fits within with the rest of my kitchen and there are many design to choose from. If you are remodeling or need a new dishwasher for your old kitchen there is a style to choose from. The value of my dishwasher now that I have had it a few years is priceless. If I had known what I was getting and how good it was (YES), I would have paid a lot more for it. I have had other dishwashers and to me they was all the same until I got this one. They are not the same.

You would figure paying this much for this product - it would be amazing... It is just average. It cleans ok, but it is very quiet. However we have had sears out 3 times to fix the jet dry dispenser. It is still not fixed and is not out of warranty. It dumps the entire thing each run of the dishwasher. So we dont used the spot free dispenser any more. Sad for such an expensive unit. Size fits perfect to my laundry room, very convenient. Happy with the purchase. Will definitely recommend to friends and family. Quiet and gets the job done quickly. Dishes come out shining and all the food particles are gone. Very nice. Simple function, cleaned dishes really well, easy to use, energy-efficient and fast drying time, easy to load, very little leaking, easy for children to load and unload. It was big enough to hold and clean my familys everyday dish use. It blended well into the rest of the kitchen. Easy wipe down. Really up to date looking but not standing out. Easy to match with my existing appliances. I thought it was a little pricey but the price was worth the quality of the machine. Very little maintenance cost and upkeep. I guess paying for the brand is worth it.

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.

The appearance of the dishwasher is kind of simplistic but slick. It looks like pretty but any other dishwasher out there. It has nice options for cleaning your dishes. Dish washers arent cheap so I would rather pay a little more for a better brand. So the price is definitely worth the product.

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!

I bought a Kenmore dishwasher 18 years ago, but rarely being used as I live alone. I used it for some guests not long ago, the programming has been messed. There is instruction about how to reboot the programs in case it is not working. Sears is famous in eager to send you repair person to get your money instead of putting instruction in manual regarding this problem. They do not offer online or on phone tech support like other big item companies do. No wonder so many Sears are out of business now as their customer support is extremely poor. Just do not buy their product in the future!

Have purchased several Kenmore Elite appliances over the years, but it appears the quality control and service is declining. Bought a Consumer Report highly rated KE dishwasher. CR has subsequently noted consumer complaints about the dishwasher. Mine is still under warranty and it stopped working. The control panel needs to be replaced and being told the part is on back order and no idea when it will be available, but no earlier than four weeks! Thinking maybe because I am still under warranty, I am back in line to those who are out of warranty and need to pay for the part. It is inconvenient when an appliance is not working for a week or two; crazy that any company thinks it is acceptable to sell appliances that cannot be repaired for a month or more.

Its powerful and energy efficient. I like that it is quiet in my open concept home. I have been very satisfied with it overall but I would appreciate if it was even quieter, or the drying was better as the hot cycle tends to leave small puddles of water on the dishes. Also, I would like it more if it were even bigger and had more capacity. Having adjustable shelves and fingerprint free surface would be a plus as well.

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.

This dishwasher cost almost $900 dollars and now for the last several months does not clean and the drying section is horrible. It is a Kenmore and was presented as a top of the line product. In calling Sears 800 number is evident that the customer service at Sears does not care. I will never do business with Sears again as their customer service is terrible.

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.

It gets food off everything, even if not rinsed out. It dries the dishes well and the pot feature is great. The filter on the bottom separates the food. This makes it easy too. The top has good depth and fits tall glasses and also some pots and pans. The bottom can fit in a lot and often I can get extra dishes, glasses and casserole dishes, even pot tops or roasting pans. I try and keep it clean and wipe it down with a dose decent spray. Also we clean the inside every couple of months. The value for money has exceeded our expectations. The dishwasher is really sturdy inside and was not made with flimsy plastic.

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.

This dishwasher works great, clean dishes good, and has lots of room. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a dishwasher. I have no issues with this. I can fit all my dirty dishes. Lots of pots and pans and plenty of room for small items on top. Would recommend to anyone. Like the way this looks. Comes in a variety of colors. This was a very good price for performance. Would get another Kenmore if needed. I love this dishwasher.

In March of 2012 we bought a Kenmore dishwasher. In August of 2012 the door latch had to be repaired due to a manufacturing defect. Today the upper rack assembly fell apart for about the 4th time, this time permanently. The one part that would fix it is not available on the replacement parts website. When you spend almost $900 on a new appliance you should be able to expect more reliability and more longevity. This thing is a piece of junk and were getting rid of it. Sears used to be a reliable retailer. What happened? Shouldnt have to spend an average of more than $300/Year on something as simple as a dishwasher.

The features I like most about my Kenmore dishwasher is the large capacity, the power scrub option, and the quietness of the machine. It has been a very good piece of kitchen equipment for me. It was already built-in to the kitchen of the home I purchased. I am happy with it, but I would like to have the cycle time be less (i.e., make the dishwasher more energy efficient). The longer the dishwasher takes to complete a full cycle, the more energy is being used and I like efficiency!

It does its job but you have to practically wash the dishes first. It does take the load of having to do dish but it could be better. I have had a few issues but that could have also been my roommate placing the dishes in incorrectly. This model is perfect for one person but for numerous people its a bit hard not to fill it up quickly. The size of the racks are a tad bit too small for my taste. Its the typical white, fridge texture on the outside. It isnt the best to look at but honestly, who cares about looks when what matters is that it gets its job done. The value of this dishwasher isnt the best Ive ever seen but it still works. Yes the shinier dishwashers probably work better but for how long can they keep that up?

I was kind of upset because I didnt know that I bought this product used. There were a lot of things that needed to be fix even though the seller didnt tell me that something was wrong. But after I fixed it, it worked like a charm and loved it ever since. The size of this product squeeze right in the area that I had. Any bigger then I would had to take the product back to the store. But I am very happy with this purchase. I would recommend buying this product. But buying it used of course. The appearance is nice to look at. I like the black color of this dishwasher. Very nice and matte color. It would look good in each and every kitchen. The value was good, I didnt pay much for it. The only problem that I had was like I said I didnt know I was buying it used and it came with a lot of problems so I put more into this product than expected but I am very happy that I bought it because it gets the job done.

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.

Came home Thanksgiving night to the immediate smell of burning plastic. Opened the dishwasher to see a flame at the bottom, the entire inside and all components melted, as well as all of my dishes cracked and melted! No recalls on this model and Kenmore/Sears hung up on me when I asked for a manager because they want to charge me $90 for a repair technician to come tell me it cant be fixed! Thank God my husband, kids, and I were not sleeping when this happened.

I couldnt wait to get this pair, the washer and dryer plus the 2 pull-out drawers. Ive had them for several years purchased at Sears, in the mall at Lawton, OK. MY HUSBAND AND I BEGIN to notice a foul odor and couldnt figure out where it was coming from. Finally, I found it inside my washer and my clean clothes smelled like a dirty wet dishrag. I even found about 5 socks in the rubber part and they were so slimy and stunk. I threw them away. When I wash inside the rubber, black gunk comes out on my rag I spent over 2,000.00 on these. Now I’m finding out that everyone I know is having the same problems.If there is a lawsuit on these stinkers please include me. I may have got these in my husband’s name, James **. We got the first ones in dark charcoal and I exchanged them at the Lawton Sears. The first ones I got at Sears first was in Wichita Falls, TX. MALL. I DECIDED ON A LIGHTER COLOR. Thank you.

The Kenmore Dishwasher is a good value for the price that you pay. It functions well, it is almost completely quiet & it does a pretty good job. Sometimes I would have to rerun the dishwasher a second time but for the most part it did clean everything the first time I would run it. It also fit everything that it needed to. Sometimes there was not enough room for a large plate or anything but that wasnt a huge issue. I would probably get one a bit bigger in the future. It looks clean and it is easy to clean too. It blends in with the other cabinets well. I like the color that I chose. The lines were clean. I think that it looks very nice and I would get another one.

This dishwasher handled the families washing loads without breaking. It cleaned the dishes and was not overly noisy. It functioned as well as any dishwasher I have owned. This dishwasher was a 24 inch built in and it handled the dishwashing needs of a family of four. We ran it several times a week and it functioned well. I never noticed the appearance so I guess that means it blended in well with the other appliances and cabinetry. I believe the panel was a stainless steel or a dark finish. The perceived value of the Kenmore dishwasher that we had was that we were satisfied with it. It functioned adequately. It cleaned the dishes and glasses and utensils. We never had it breakdown while we owned it.

This dishwasher was well worth the advertised price. I feel that it fulfills its intended purpose very well. Most, if not, all of my dishes and silverware come out pristine and without any leftover food particles. It is also able to remove the tough grime from dishes without any added detergent. The dishwasher is the perfect size; it is not too big or too small. It easily fits into the space in my counter. If it was any smaller, it would look terrible. The chrome finish works with most kitchen setups. One would be hard pressed to find something that does not match with this dishwasher. The black also works well with most decor choices. The value is proportional to the cost. Although getting this model on sale would be nice, the price is not too bad. Installation is easy with professional help, which also does not cost very much.

The Kenmore Dishwasher is easy to use and works well. Weve had it for a few years now and it still works great. It cleans the dishes with no problem. Very seldom do we have to re-wash the dishes when we pull them out. It is big enough that we can do a whole load from one regular size family meal, although we do have to wait a while in between if we have more dishes than room. It has a classic and smooth look. It can go in anyone’s kitchen in the end no matter what. It doesnt stand out but at the same time it gets noticed. The value wasnt so much that it broke the bank but we did have to save up for it and I do hope we dont have to buy a new one anytime soon as we couldnt afford that.

My dishes come out very clean and sanitized. The dishwasher holds a nice sized load and it does not have to be loaded perfectly. Its energy efficient and runs quietly. Its a little small, but I can still fit all my dishes in easily. I dont put pots or large pans in the dishwasher so there is enough room for dishes and glassware. If I try to overload it, the dishes dont get clean. This is a very basic looking dishwasher so it does not have much appeal. However its simplicity allows it to blend in with the surrounding decor easily. It would be nice if it had a handle across the front instead of just a dial. Its reputation alone makes it a great value. You do not get all of the bells and whistles with this one but you get a reliable dishwasher that does a great job.

There was a Kenmore dishwasher in the house we bought. One morning, I discovered that our Kenmore dishwasher was broken. We replaced it with another Kenmore dishwasher. It had a timer. I really like a timer, so that my dishes will be washed while I sleep. Dishwashers are very handy. One can wash dishes, and if someone is sick, the dishes will be sterilized. This cuts down on the spread of germs.

I purchased my Kenmore in the summer of 1999. Ive never had a service call on it, and never had a problem with it. It cleans the clothes pretty well, but I wouldnt rate it as great. Its been a good purchase for the money, and has far outlasted the fancy name brands that some of my friends have. My biggest beef is that Sears insisted that the county in which I live adds a permit charge, and therefore, my good deal went up significantly. I made the same mistake when I purchased a refrigerator and dishwasher from Sears. They charged me a permit charge. I later learned that there is no such thing.

We bought the Kenmore appliance because its a brand we are used to and is reliable and the quality is by far better than other brands. The washing machine washes the dishes really great. It very reliable. Never breaks down and the glasses and cups are clean and clear and the color looks great in the kitchen. Easy to load and the utensils come out shiny and clean. Plenty of space for every pot, pan or serving trays. They all fit in nice and very neatly. The washer could be more energy efficient and made from recycled materials, the hinges can be of better quality, more rust resistant and could come with a lifetime warranty. The washers door could be more stain resistant and maybe have a glass window on the front of the washer so one can see if the machine is working properly. Our family has used Kenmore for years and year and I cannot recall having any.

My dishes always come out clean even if I dont rinse beforehand. I can just load it up and turn it on, with no hassle at all. It really makes my life a lot easier. The size is great. If you know how to properly load it up, it can actually fit quite a few dishes. It fit like a glove when I had it installed and never feels too bulky for my kitchen. I love the look of my dishwasher. It is so modern and was what I was picturing when I went out to search for one. The controls are great and stress free. You just turn it on and forget about it until you have to unload it. Ive had my dishwasher for a while now and its still like new. Ive never had a problem with it and the quality is just as great as when I bought it.

I did not purchase the dishwasher. It happened to come with the home I purchased. However that being said I was not displeased with the appliance as I knew Kenmore was a trusted brand in appliances. There was an On/off switch for the heat for the dry cycle. It was programmable for delayed wash and the dishwasher was also large capacity with a roomy interior and easy to load dish racks. However, the dishwasher was an older model that did not clean my dishes as well if the dishes were not pre-rinsed and it was very loud sounding. We likened it to a plane taking off. But overall it was Satisfactory.

The Kenmore dishwasher cleaned well and did a quick job. The dishes were always dry and they always came out clean which is all that mattered to me. The dishwasher is also easy to load and operate. It is large enough to get the job done. The setup was perfect for glasses, utensils, as well as pot and pans. You could even get a stock pot in on the bottom rack. The inside and seals are easy to maintain on a routine basis. However, it has a black front, which is not real easy to keep clean. I would have preferred a white one. It would also have been nice if it were a little more quiet, but for the price who can complain. The cycles dont take forever. You get your moneys worth. For an entry level machine the only thing I dont like is how loud it is.

Kenmore Dishwasher has a nice size. It fits an overflowing sink full of dishes with plenty of room for my larger pots and pans as well. It is easy to load and unload. It is cute. It collects a lot of dust and other particles from my four-year old daughter but nothing a little bleach cannot clean up. Otherwise it is very nice. You cannot beat the price for the performance you get. It is very affordable and gets the job done right the first time. No rewashing dishes over and over and no spots. Works great, cant beat that for sure. Kids can use it easily as well. No hassles, no fuss, just clean dishes every day!

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.
