Kenmore Dryer common faults
The Kenmore washer and dryer performed beyond my expectation -- they were cleaned thoroughly so that a second washing/drying was not necessary. These appliances were top-quality in every regard. Highly recommend them both. Reliability once again exceeded my expectations. Clothes were laundered consistently load after load. It was not necessary to call for repairment to fix anything. The appearance of these appliances was very attractive and appealing. Both looked very modern, and the color finish was top quality. Visually, everything was orderly and attractive. The perceived value of these appliances is that you are getting more than your moneys worth -- quality laundering for an overall low price.
Kenmore front loading washer, Kenmore dryer model 6800. I bought them because they were highly rated by Consumers Reports. Also, the washer was on sale. The price was good. Washer rubber gasket around the door had to be replaced after 3 years of use. Ive had the washer 7 years and the dryer 5 years. This is the third Kenmore dryer I have owned. Both machines are mid line. Both are high capacity and energy efficient.
My dryer is easy to use. It has a dial to turn to what setting the dryer needs to be on for your load of clothing. It is simple to use. It is a straightforward dryer. I dont like the lint trap because if it gets overly full the material will drop down into the machine, and the material is hard to get out of the dryer. Currently I need to clean the lint out of the machine because the dryer is not drying as effectively, and that is my only complaint about the dryer. Otherwise it is a great dryer.
My Kenmore washer and dryer are well built and reliable and it is great to know that these are American-made products. Im glad that this iconic brand is still available in the USA!!!
I owned an electric top loading Kenmore washing machine and an electric Kenmore dryer for 18 years. In that 18 years, I never experienced any problems with the washing machine. It always worked like a charm and I did laundry for 5 people, including a baby, in that washing machine for 4 of those 18 years. The only problem I ever had with the dryer was the cord had to be replaced after several years of use. There was also one incident where the dryer wasnt drying properly and I called the Kenmore service division to make an appointment for them to come out and repair my dryer. The dispatcher I talked to with Kenmore suggested that I check my dryer vent on the outside of my house to make sure it wasnt stopped up with a birds nest or something else. I checked the dryer vent and it had several dirt dobbers nests in it. When I cleaned out the dryer vent, the dryer went back to working perfectly and, thanks to their employee, I didnt have to pay Kenmore a repair bill. We had to move from the home we were renting into a small apartment that didnt have washer and dryer connections so we donated our 18 year old Kenmore washer and dryer, which were still working perfectly, to a non profit organization.My electric Kenmore washing machine was a top loading washer and the knobs were on the top of the washer behind the lid. The electric dryer had a regular door on the front of it and the knobs were on the top of the dryer towards the back. There was a large lint catcher on the top right hand side of the dryer. The main thing I loved about the Kenmore washer and dryer, as far as their appearance, is that they were made of heavy duty metal vs. plastic. I also liked that the mechanisms of the washer and dryer were simple mechanisms that didnt wear out and cost me hefty repair bills.The electric Kenmore washer and dryer were well worth every penny we paid for them. I used them extensively for 18 years and the only thing I ever had to pay in regards to a repair was a new cord for the dryer after several years of use. Having used them for 18 years, and they were still working perfectly, I would have to say that I definitely got my moneys worth out of them plus some.
We went to Sears to purchase a pair (washer and dryer combo) Kenmore Elite Top Loading Washer 79631623310 and a front loader dryer of the same brand. All of our appliances come from Sears and I believe every washer-dryer that we ever purchased in the 32 years of our marriage have been from Sears. My complaint is that clothes - sheets and anything that I put inside this new washer, comes very wrinkle. I never had experienced this before with any other machines. Same thing from the dryer (I just learned from the Sears service man that the washer is more to blame that the dryer.) I wrote a complaint in different boards including MY SEARS and a person from Sears called me; today I have a Sears service person in my house. I showed him clothes that I recently washed and dried, and he could see how wrinkle all of them they were. I had a pair of pants, shirts of different textures, t shirts, and sheets. He called someone from the manufacturer and for what I heard, I am THE ONLY CUSTOMER COMPLAINING FOR THIS, which to me is unbelievable since I had this problem in every wash I do; so I cant be the only person having this problem, or writing a complaint. To be fair, the service person is still here, but from listening to his conversation I can anticipate that this complaint is going nowhere! The manufacturer has rendered the verdict! I am very frustrated because I still owe $1,400.00 on these pair and I cannot imagine having to go through the same thing for at least 10 more years, which was the duration of my last set which by the way was superior in every way to these very modern machines. I feel that I am on the right and Sears and the manufacturer cannot tell me that this is not happening to me. I wrote the order number from Sears service today. I was a very dissatisfy customer who is now frustrated and upset.
I love my Kenmore washer and dryer. As a mother/step mother of six children both appliances get used often. I have owned this set for roughly 5 years now and both are still running strong. I used to work for an appliance store a few years back and Kenmore was a brand many of my customers asked for or owned happily. I strongly recommend this particular brand for all of your appliance needs. This is a brand that will last for years to come, leaving you worry free knowing it will work up to par and get the results you are looking for in an appliance.
Ive had my Kenmore washer and dryer for 2 years. Its the very first washer and dryer Ive ever had. Ive never had a problem with them. I wash 3 to 4 loads of clothes weekly. They have a nice capacity for my family and I clothing to be washed. They wash clothing fast and get them nice and clean.
Dryer worked great for a little over 2 yrs. Right after the warranty was up the heat quit working. We thought it was the heating element. But it turned out to be the computer board. I bought a new dryer for what it would have cost to put a new computer board in it. I really liked the appearance of this dryer. Thats why I bought this style of dryer. But never again. I went back to the old style. Just because they come up with a newer style dryer dont mean its better than the old style. The value of this style dryer was not good at all. The very first dryer I bought which was an old style dryer lasted over 20 yrs. But the new style dryer didnt last 30 months.
The washer and dryer lasted for years and I was very satisfied with both. I have recommend them to all of my family members and they are very satisfied with the devices. I will not buy any other device.
Clothes come out very clean, never backs up or becomes uneven. Doesnt use an abundance of electricity or water. Large enough to wash comforters and bedspreads in easily. Can do a couple sets of sheets, whole load of towels. I wash a lot of clothes and usually have an overloaded clothes basket but never have a problem with fitting anything in it. White machines can get dusty very easily, especially with the dryer right next to it but it is very easy to clean inside and out. No rust whatsoever. Didnt have to pay an arm and a leg for a good washing machine. Have had it for quite a while and have never had any issues with it, which is amazing considering how much it gets used (which is daily, if not twice a day).
I bought the washer dryer set a year ago and I have never had any problems and dont anticipate any problems. Most of the washers I have owned in the past my t-shirts have ended up with holes in them after owning the washer after a month. My idea of my current washer and dryer is they are the best so that I have owned. After a year I still dont have holes in my clothes from the washer or dryer. The machines are well built and there were many colors to choose from. They are sturdy and made to American quality. They are quiet operating and very energy efficient. The quality and workmanship of the machines are well worth the price. When you can wash your clothes without having to replace them before the clothes should need replacing.
Its okay for the most part. Although it takes a while to dry and it stops before the clothes are completely dry. If this issue was fixed it would be the best dryer in the world. But I mean a dryer is a dryer and when youre broke you take what you can get.
My first washer/dryer set was a Kenmore. They lasted me 28+ years before the washer died. I bought a new Kenmore Elite set that has a large enough capacity for all types of bedding, mattress covers, quilts, etc. It uses HE soap, doesnt require much. Takes longer to wash, but saves on water. I was told that washers lasting anywhere near what the older ones did are a thing of the past. The new ones, if youre lucky, will last 8 years. Mine is currently 2.5 years old, so Ill have to wait and see. Definitely would recommend Kenmore.
Our Kenmore washer is less than five years old, and weve been having problems with it not agitating and/or spinning. It makes all the sounds like its doing something, but when you open the door, nothing is happening. Its hit or miss, too. Sometimes, Ill open the door after a cycle to put the wash into the dryer, and everything on the bottom is sopping wet. Ive tried adjusting the clothes thinking it didnt spin because its unbalanced, but even empty it wont spin. Then, two hours later, it might decide to spin. When I emailed Sears, I was sent a generic email response to the effect of, Your washer only has a one year warranty, unless you purchased extended warranty... I hope this information has been helpful. You are important to us so we hope that you will continue to make Sears your first choice for future purchases. Never again!
I have been very happy with my Kenmore washer and dryer. I havent had any major problems with them and they have held up well. I have had them for years and they still work great even after washing clothes for 4 people everyday. Im very impressed with this brand. Its the best brand Ive had.
This is definitely a brand I would recommend over Whirlpool which I have now. Kenmore products last longer and the clothes always seem cleaner. I had this washer for like 7 years and never had much problem with it. With the Whirlpool product I have now it seems like Ive called the repair company at least 8 times and I have only had the washer about 4 years. To me all washers look the same. Just some may be taller and a different color but what matters is how it performs on your clothes and if theres a warranty on the machine. The value of any washer/dryer is going to be expensive but the main thing is the performance it does on clothes and for me Kenmore products are definitely worth the value.
Very reliable with amazing performance. Impressive style and performance. Clothes get dry faster and retain their original softness. Always dependable getting the job done, even when its a big load of towels getting dry on the first time Ive seen! Towels and they are free to go. With a sleek and sophisticated appearance, there are no worries if someone would happen to see the laundry room. Nice color choice will go with any color scheme. Great performance at any price, but at what this dryer is priced is a steal. Although even double the price would still be worth it for the beginning of summer has started.
This dryer is pretty awesome. I love how fast it dries my clothes and if they had wrinkles prior then they get all the wrinkles out too. I never had any issues with this dryer. It never malfunctioned. Always worked the way it did since I first bought it. Its a really reliable dryer. The appearance is pretty basic. But thats okay. It doesnt need to look fancy to do a wonderful job. I like that it isnt real big and bulky. I dont remember the exact dollar I spent but I will say that I already did get my money worth out of it. The value is really good. It is worth it.
I have had my Kenmore washer and dryer for years and they are still going strong! Once these are a few years older I will definitely purchase new ones! Highly recommend the brand!
Poor quality on Model 1105072012 Kenmore washer. We bought this washer, and a dryer on 3/17/2015. The washer was so noisy, we took it back. Second washer had a broken pump, and flooded the house. This is the 3rd one, and after 1 year it simply stopped, with the lid lock light flashing. Couldnt get it to self diagnose, so I bought a new lid lock ($56), and after running for part of a cycle it did it, again. Called the store... And SURPRISE!!! They have no record of the sale OR the extended warranty!! Same type of problems with the toaster, and coffee maker, so we will NEVER buy ANYTHING from Sears/Kmart, again!! Since we cant find the receipt, its a lost cause.
You can load your washer, go about other thing. Transfer clothes on dryer when done. Takes care of itself, you just load, put in detergent, start, come back when its done. You dont have to sit and wait. Take clothing out of washer, put in dryer, use dryer sheets if your choice. Start dryer. Lets you know when its done. Easy to use, easy to maintain. Not our first Kenmore washer and dryer and wont be our last. My last set lasted over 10 years, expect this to do the same. I would not use any other brand, I love the reliability, the ease of repair if needed and the great service that they give.I dont really look at the machines, I rate them on how they perform. All our Kenmore appliances are trustworthy, hardworking, easy to use. You dont have to pay big buck to get a great washer and dryer. There are just 2 humans, 2 dogs, and 2 birds. So we dont need the largest or the front loader. We are very happy with our washer and dryer, it takes care of our needs including the dog beds, bird covers and works great like a Trojan.
Its performance is good. The clothes come out very clean, caring clothes and not damaged, blue jeans are kept in good condition. The colors are nitidos, small clothing is not damaged and sheets are washed well and removes lint. It is reliable in every aspect, because they always washing clothes fast and is very clean. Since the purchase has never been decomposed washer and nonecesita much detergent only as needed, also not clear accessories delicates. Has very good appearance. The buttons are ideal and placed in strategic locations. Its white color make it look elegant and distinguished, the inside is very delicate and beautiful too. I like the appearance of the washing machine for that reason the purchase. Has much value to me. Is a very good machine and its performance is very effective, whenever I need to wash my clothes is in very condition and operation.
This is an easy to use dryer. It is easy to figure out the controls and it runs very smoothly. I would recommend this dryer to someone who is looking to buy one. The dryer fits quite a bit of laundry. It definitely fits more than the previous dryer I owned. I can easily dry all my clothes in two dry cycles, sometimes one. The appearance of this dryer is very nice. It is not too bulky and it fits in well with the washer I own. I think this dryer is a great value for the money. For the price I paid, I am very happy with it.
Low water usage, cleans well and cycle is pretty quick. It does large loads well and has many cycles to choose from so no matter if you are doing a large load of towels or a small load of delicates, the machine cleans them well. This is a very reliable machine. I have had no problems with it. It had never been a problem. It has codes that will flash to let you know if there is a problem. It has a clean color that is easy to keep clean. It has a very streamlined look that fits well in any place you need to have it in your home. This machine is a great value for the money. It performs well and can be repaired if necessary with no problem. The next time I have to purchase a washer and dryer, I will purchase this brand.
When it worked, it was a fair washer. However, it seemed to be broke more than it worked. For that reason I made the choice to go with a different style as well as a different brand. I am happy with my choice. The same goes with the dryer. It would take hours upon hours to dry my clothes when it should have only taken one cycle, roughly an hour, it would take multiple cycles.
I purchased a Kenmore Elite front loading automatic washer model 796-4100. Its a washer and dryer in one. I purchased this one because there wasnt a way to install a vent for the dryer in the laundry room. I have owned Kenmore appliances my whole adult life. My parents only purchased Kenmore appliances. My washer broke in less than a year. It doesnt get overly used as its only my daughter and I using it. The machine had the drain pump replaced, 2 motherboards just to mention a few. It was torturous trying to get it repaired. Hours and hours spent on the phone. I wont ever purchase another Kenmore appliance. Sta
The value of my machines is worth a million bucks. My clothes are clean and smell good and I only have to fill and empty the machines. Nothing easier than that. Washer handles big loads with ease. Whites are whites and colored maintain their color. Both washer and dryer are reliable. Have used the dryer for years and its still going strong. But washer is new and Im planning to have it for years. They last forever. Always buy Kenmore.
This is the very best dryer I have ever owned. It is large capacity with several different settings for all types of drying needs. I especially like the sensor feature. This dryer is very reliable. Its energy-efficient and cost-effective. It is high capacity and dries very well. It is a good model for high use by a large family. The dryer is modern-looking with a stainless steel tub, white exterior and controls across the top of the unit. It is stylish and will complement any setting. The dryer is a very good value for amount of heavy duty use it receives each week and amount of time without repairs. Given all of the included features and durability of the unit, I consider it a good value.
Very quiet, dries quickly and low on wrinkles. Uses less electricity than my previous dryer. Lint trap is easy to put in and out. Easy to read dials. Ending buzzer is loud enough to hear. Very reliable. I have not had one single problem. I would recommend it. Not a bad price but I find many things at Sears can be overpriced. I guess I could have bought a dryer at a lower price but, I live in an area where you cant shop around.
We love our Kenmore washer and dryer. They are a great value for the money! Easy to use controls means everyone in our family can operate them, and lots of extra features and settings means we always have the right wash to tackle any mess.
I purchased the Kenmore Elite Washing Machine and compatible Dryer, in Sep of 2012. As of this date, Sep 9, 2015, I have been utterly disappointed with its performance as a washing machine, as it does not wash clothes, it get them wet, wrinkles them up, and spins them out. Clothes do not come clean. But, the great news is, today it completely EXPLODED! I mean that it blew up, the top, the whole top, not just the lid and the control panel, but the entire top blew off, the machine blew apart, blowing a holes in the drywall, denting the adjoining dryer, as you will see in my photos. Sears and Kenmore will do nothing about it, stating it is out of warranty. Well... I will not ever set foot in Sears again, and I will never buy another Kenmore product again. See attached photos for the damage. This machine blew itself three feet away from the wall, and as you can see, would have seriously hurt someone if they had been pulling clothes out of the dryer at the moment of destruction.
They are about 15 years old and have required minimal maintenance. They are He3 models and have performed very well over the years with lots of settings for almost every need. The Kenmore He3 full size luxury front load washer dryer pedestal set had a luxury price tag that was shocking but I have enjoyed their functionality. I would buy the current models if I have room for them.
Always worked. Never had any problems getting clothes clean using this washer. Was always an everyday user. Never had any mechanical issues. Very reliable. Was able to keep up with 2 toddlers in the house. Kept clothes clean and never once doubted its reliability. I washed clothes on a daily basis most times and it always seems to get the job done. Was easy to clean. Didnt have any rust like a lot of the older models of the washers. Always looked brand new. Very nice looking models. Very budget friendly. Didnt cost a fortune to purchase. Maintenance on it was very cheap. The load capacity helped with water bill and dryer was very cheap on electric...
I use my washer and dryer at least 3 times a week, and I love the fact that both machines work as they should, every time without a hitch. Further, they get my clothes completely clean and dry them exactly as I want -- totally dry for most things and slightly damp for the items I want to iron. I would never buy another brand.
Kenmore was quiet and very efficient. I never had any issues with it the entire time I owned and used it. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a dryer. I was very happy with it. In fact, I would purchase the same dryer again if I needed to. It was perfect. I liked that it was a lean and not overly bulky. It didnt take up too much room. It was very affordable, especially when you consider how long it lasted, and how often I used it. I would have no problem paying for it again.
I have a past history with the Kenmore products and Im not disappointed. Theyve created a great product that doesnt need any improvements. My Kenmore washer is honestly the best washing machine Ive ever owned. I like its advanced settings and features, quick washing, effective, very quiet machine, and fits perfectly in my laundry room along with the new dryer which is also a great product. Ill be sticking with Kenmore from here on out. I have very good experience and its worth the money.
I owned a Kenmore washer and dryer years ago (at least thirty years ago). They performed beautifully. I dont remember but three occasions that I needed repair service. The third time I called for service it took a week or more to get it fixed. I decided then that when I needed to buy a new appliance it would not be a Kenmore.
Bought both washer and dryer. Have lasted 5 years. So far no major problems. Very happy with my decision to buy new. I believe that is why they have lasted so long but I also only have a household of 2 so not much wear and tear in that area.
Kenmore is a brand well spoken for. I was able to purchase the washer and dryer. The washer is an exceptional washer of clothes. The machines are easy to clean. If parts have to be replaced easy to find. I love the brand and the name is dependable and reliable. The representatives are knowledgeable and attentive to your needs in what type of appliance will work for you.
I was raised in a household of Kenmore appliances. So when I married and started setting up house, it was only natural to get Kenmore appliances. My first washer and dryer were Kenmore. When those quit working, after many years, I got another set of Kenmore washer and dryer. Again I was very happy with them. If they ever needed service, the Sears service people were very good. They made the repair quickly and efficiently. When I went to get my third set of appliances from Sears, I found that the prices had gone up terribly high. I could get the same machines in the Whirlpool brand for about 2/3 of the price. That is what I have now, Whirlpool. Same great product... but less expensive.
I enjoyed my Kenmore washer and dryer. I have it for over ten years and never had a problem with it. Even to this day my sister now owns it and uses it on a daily basis. Kenmore is reliable and a brand that you can count on.
It dries your clothes fast but does NO damage to them. Its quiet when it is running. It lasts a long time. I love it, good brand to buy. It has never gave me any problems for as long as I have owned it and that says a lot to me. You want to buy a good product and I would say this is one. It has a nice sleek modern look to it but I think most washers/dryers look almost about the same so really you cant go wrong with the look of them. You want a product that gives you bang for your buck (a good value) and that also lasts a long time with no problems and that is what I got.
Both my washer and dryer are used. Probably 15 years old at least. I have had to replace a belt on the washer and the element in the dryer. Not a big deal though, they are easy to get parts for and work on.
We have been a owner of Kenmore products over the year including the clothes washer and dryer. The earlier machines were never as good as our latest model. For the past ten years, our Kenmore set has been serving us well and hope to get another 10 years or more. The features on our washer is easy to understand and use. Very energy efficient and gentle on the clothes, just wish that Sears Canada had to go out of business.
Love my washer and dryer front loaders. Clean well, but long cycles. Never any problem and very reliable. I have the stackable kind and have drawers underneath. Only had one service call in nine years and it was for a door latch that was from the kids slamming the door of the washer. They are water and electricity efficient. Mine are black and look very up to date and modern. I love the front look and they are very easy to get into. Mine are standing on two drawers that are great for storage and also bring up the machines a bit so I dont have to bend over to put in and take out clothes. Mine are over 9 yrs old and still look wonderful. Well they were $1000 each 9 years ago, but the fact that I have had no problems with them, and I hope they last another 10 years, then it was a good value.
I had this washer & dryer when my kids was small and it handled all the dirty laundry that my family had each week for years. A highly dedicated lasting product. I loved the machine and the dryer and even though it was a long time ago, the machines never failed me and was easy to repair.
I would certainly recommended this product to friends and family. I bought both a washer and dryer combo a year and a half ago and no problem with either. I had a Kenmore washer before and no Kenmore is a excellent brand name to buy.
It was so smooth sounding, no wrinkles left in your laundry, leaves your clothes smelling clean and fresh, no noise when machine is running. Washer has different setting. Once the washer has started you cant stop it until the load is done. Spin cycle doesnt make a lot of noise, can dry large loads of clothes in one. A great machine to use and own. I use tell friends to buy this brand of dryer. I love this dryer. It is large, dependable, you can set the cycle, stop it when you want. Large white machine with the door in the front so that you can get to your laundry. It was a great value, a great price for the set. Would choose this brand over and over again. I think there should be other colors for the washers and dryers. I think people would like more options when it comes to colors.
It was really good and I enjoyed using the dryer because it made me feel like I was in control with the warmth and speed. I would recommend this to anyone. It came with a great warranty and a service report, which made me feel at ease. I liked how it dried the clothes and didnt make it pill a lot. The design was sleek, shiny, and wonderful. It caught my eyes because of its size and design, making my decision easy in terms of picking this first. I paid a good price for it, and I was surprised at how low it was. Everyone elses dryer was so expensive but this was really good and I was impressed.
I have no complaints other than it doesnt control lint as well as the old one did. Overall its pretty good. I pre-soak bad stains and it does a good job of washing them out. It hasnt asked yet but this is a stacker washer dryer unit...about 15 years old now.
I have the same issue as J. of Waukeegan, IL (2/17/15) and I am sure many others that my Kenmore HE washer does not clean clothes. Although I have tried all different detergents (all HE) and all size loads and all settings including deep wash, two rinses, super wash and so on, the laundry comes out with white marks, dry spots (the section of the clothes that are folded do not get wet), and full of lint, fuzz and dog hair. My laundry comes out of the washer dirtier than it goes in. It is truly disgusting. I have contact customer service and sent them pictures and they eventually agreed to send a service representative. But the representative only tested if the washer was going through its cycles properly, he did not test to see how it washed clothes. I showed him the dirty clothes that came out the wash and the only recommendation that was given was to do three loads without detergent and then use only a small amount of detergent for all future washes. We have been only using the small amount of detergent as the representative indicated, however, we followed his instructions of running the three washes without detergent anyway and as we expected, it did not have any affect on the functionality of the washer. I am certain that this model just does not allow enough water to wash the clothes and since it is on a sensor we cannot adjust the amount of water. Before the representative was sent I clearly explained that the washer was working as it was designed, the problem was that it was designed poorly. Yet the representative was sent to only see if the washer was functioning as designed and made no effort to see if it actually washed clothes or to understand the problem (it was not the representatives fault, he was very polite and tried to help, he just wasnt allowed to do anything more). I am so highly disappointed that Sears will not help me but also so disappointed that they can have such a bad product AND they are not interested in understanding its product flaws and improving their product line.
Honestly very reliable. Always ran well. Never had a problem with any of my Kenmore products. I had both a washer and dryer and also a fridge. I would recommend to anyone looking for a new appliance. Even used Kenmore brand stands strong. I think everyone in my family has or has had a Kenmore appliance at some point.
My washer is new. It is the one where you just push button on and the lid locks. You can not open the lid. You have a certain button you have to hold for 10 secs to get it opened. The dryer is where you can open it and it stops but you can start it back. The dryer is really old. I have not had any trouble with it. I do not wash as much as some families with kids. I would not have any other brand. I have had Kenmore with all my appliances. I trust all my appliances with Sears Kenmore. They last. The washer is a really big tub and it holds fabric softener. It has a place for Clorox to pour in it. The dryer is nice too. It has a loud buzzer to go off when it is done. You have settings for delicate clothes on dryer and washer.I would recommend these Kenmore products to anyone. I have been using them for 52 yrs. I have only had this is the second washer I have had and this is the second dryer, I am looking for the dryer to go out. I will buy another dryer Kenmore. These appliances are good and they do not cost that much. My washer was 349.00. The appliances are quiet, they are really a good looking product, you can get them in different colors. I think that the white is coming back. Mine is white. You can hardly hear the washer and dryer going at the same time how quiet they are. I am 5 ft.3 ins. and I have to bend real far to get to the bottom of the washer. You can set your clothes on what water temp you want. You can set it on how long you want it to wash, the same with the dryer.
Works fine. Heavy duty dryer. Efficient. Dries extremely well with numerous controls. Had for a number of years with no problems. Works great. Loads easy. Does not ruin clothes. Has different settings for all types of clothes. Timer has never failed. Does what it say it will do. Would recommend to anyone considering a new dryer.
Had both a washer and a dryer awhile ago. They both worked fine and lasted pretty long. When we had to buy ones we bought different brands because they were less expensive and they work just as good. Weve had a lot of Kenmore products over the years.
Its a Kenmore elite - w/ small, short agitator in the bottom of the machine; top loader. Works well except for the fact that lint collects at the top of the machine where the tub meets a metal rim. Its as if there should be a filter bag at this point to catch the lint.
I loved my Kenmore washer and dryer. I never had any problems with either and they lasted a long, long time. I do wash pretty much every day and they were both sturdy and strong to do the job. Excellent machines. I will definitely be buying Kenmore products in the future.
After two years of use it would not spin right and clothes stayed wet and had to wring clothes before putting in dryer. We had to call someone to fix problem then it started working alright.
Works fine but literally just had to replace heating element less than 2 years after purchase... shorted whole dryer. Things shouldnt break down that fast... of course just after warranty.
It washes all my clothes and keeps them smelling fresh for longer. It is also gentle on softer fabrics and doesnt cause intimates to fall apart. It is also very convenient and easy to use. It provides the best value for what its worth. The machine has been working for 2 years and has not had any serious malfunctions and works as if its brand new. It looks modern and new. Every time I have people over, people are always complimenting and talking about how good the washer looks in the room. Fits the house perfectly. Totally worth the price. I would not pay anything less for a better value. If I had the option to choose another dryer, I would still choose the same brand.
Works great. Keeps food perfect! The freezer keeps everything ice cold. Love the space. Does not take up a bunch of unnecessary energy. Very economical and convenient. One of the best refrigerators I have ever had. I highly recommend this brand. It does not take space although it is quite large from the inside which make it very special. I can put everything in the refrigerator cause I have enough space to put all the food in there.The refrigerator is amazing and I like the way it looks. I chose the grey color since it fits with my kitchen and I with any other color. It is also very easy to clean because of the good material used to manufacture it. Does not attract hardly any dust or lint. Has sturdy door handles. Because its energy efficient I save on my monthly electric bill. Also my food stay fresher longer. All drinks get cool quick and stay cool so my grocery bill is manageable.
In over 14 years of usage of approximately 4-5 loads per week, the door latch gizmo went out twice and the control panel twice. Washer washes really well. Being the HT model must not use too much detergent. Gas dryer dries great. Overall the brand (Kenmore) is not bad. I know there are newer ones out with lots of gadgets but Im not a fan of these. I need a few cycles to cover most typical usage and these are great for that.
Performs great. Some improvements could be noise of clothes and heavy loads. I would like to let more heavier loads all at once. Overall very nice, cleans efficiently and takes my gratitude to a whole new level since I do have 6 people (including me). This dryer earns all of my respect since we cycle through clothes like crazy, having this dryer helps tremendously. Great duration and this dryer efficiently keeps my clothes from wrinkling and actually dries them. It has an amazing sign of duration. This dryer makes life a heck of a lot easier to go on! Appearance is nice and looks clean and cut. Doesnt look at all out of shape or breaks down any time soon. Love its design and its efficiency. Great value for the loads it can hold and the happiness of me with the less stress of other dryers takes value away. I would pay for this dryer without worrying about the value.
Best appliance I have ever owned. Washing machine gets my clothes so clean and sanitized. I wash my clothes in half the time it used to take. I love the steam dryer. No wrinkles in my clothes anymore. I would highly recommend the washer and dryer.
Good washer and cleans clothes great and is pretty quiet and energy saver too. Washes great and dependable, washes and spins clothes dry so less dryer time which saves money too Looks good. You cannot go wrong with this washer. You will be happy to use it and have it.
This washer is promoted as a large load, energy-efficient design. If you put more than half a load the washer spins so out of control that it shakes my whole 2 story house. Then it starts the rinse cycle again and drains in an attempt to even out the load. One time I let it progress to 10 extra cycles until I could not take it anymore and had to unplug, empty clothes wet, ring out by hand and then put in the dryer. The fact there has not been a recall or a buyback program is a joke. Whatever engineer designed, tested and put this to market should be ashamed of themselves.
I want a new washer and dryer so bad. A big one. My husband said as soon as ours goes out I can. The only trouble is I have had mine for 24 years. I believe it will outlive me. Why did you make them so good? I am 70 years old. That isnt fair.
Do not buy this item. We spent a lot of money in the pair washer/dryer and the washer started to rust around the bleach compartment within months (even though I have never used bleach on my clothes). I wished I had read the reviews online. There are hundreds of reviews where people complain about the rusting on this machine. Im planning on talking to a lawyer, and open a Class Action Lawsuit. This machine should be on their list of recall items and people should be compensated. My friend had the upper part replaced but started rusting again within months after use. Sears appliances (Kenmore) are not what they used to be. I am actually closing my credit card I have with them. Very disappointed! Advice: Dont buy this washer, it will RUST!
It worked fine. I didnt use it that often because I was a college student but it never broke and when I wash my clothes they came out wet and then I put them in the dryer and they dried. It was very reliable in that for the nine months I lived in the house that had one it never broke. I never had to call a repairman person. It didnt look ugly. I was very pleased with its value. It came with the house and the rent was low. It probably wasnt very expensive.
I only had one problem with washer. A leaking component in the front middle needed to be replaced after warranty expired. Cost about $135.00. Still works great after 22 years. No problems with the dryer.
My Kenmore washer and dryer are very reliable; I have never had any problems with the washer or dryer. Very quiet also. They are on our first floor, right next to the kitchen, and we barely hear them!
I have owned Kenmore appliances in the past and I have been very happy with. Both the washer and dryer lasted us quite a long time. I do recommend to anybody looking for appliances to shop Kenmore.
It was powerful and reliable. The wash options were great. Never needed a repair or had any problems. It also saved on water and electricity expenses. It was the one washer that I never had any issues with. It never failed or had any problems. I would only buy Kenmore in the future. It would put repairmen out of business for good! It had a new XE appearance and wasnt over the top with options. It look great of in our house and was very easy to match both with another Kenmore or any other name brand dryer. Fantastic value. It was very competitive in pricing and when you take the reliability into consideration, the value only gets better. They could actually charge more and I would still probably buy them. But dont.
Recently purchased Kenmore washer and dryer from Sears. Used the washer first time this evening. Midway to the wash/spin cycle, it made very loud noise, vibrated severely, jumped around, its side wall hit the edge of the nearby counter top leading to a dent/scratch, crushed the pipes between the machine the wall, damaged the vent pipe of the dryer, hit the dryer and pushed it around. A broken piece of bolt flew out of the machine. I stopped the machine. There were some broken pieces of plastic on the floor behind the washer. Called 1-800-469-4663. After a long hold and 2 transfers, someone scheduled an appointment with a technician 5 days from today. Very disappointing!
I have had it for almost five years and so far they have worked pretty well. I have not had any trouble with either one of them in last five years. The reliability is very good in the way it washes the clothes. For one year I had a warranty on this particular washer. The appearance is fine. It looks good where it is at in the kitchen. It is also functional for everyday use. I live in a small place. The size of the washer and dryer just fit into the space. I use to go to the laundromat. I would spend fifteen to twenty dollars at the laundromat. I think that the washer and dryer paid for itself in the long run including gas mileage.
I have grown up with Kenmore products. They are a work horse, durable, reasonably price and lasts a long time. I have had each product over 10 years. I dont even know the color or size specifications of each. If there ever was a problem it would be to call the blue crew. I have tried the rest. Now I will stick with the best. Kenmore or nothing. I was raised with these products. I dont believe in stackable washer & dryers. They are not durable and cannot hold enough. I had a bad experience with them. I am not picky of color, size, or price, it just has to be a Kenmore brand.
I bought a Kenmore washer and dryer because they were on sale a few years ago. In spite of the discount price, both have performed very well. My washer is quiet and reliable, completely and thoroughly cleansing even large loads in under an hour. The dryer has been less than perfect. After the first year, I had to replace the heating element -- a not terribly complicated or expensive repair -- but has not had a problem since. Overall, Im very satisfied with my Kenmore appliances.
I had the washer and dryer for about 10 years. No problems with dryer but I had to have the washer repaired a few times. Overall like the Kenmore brand. Very reliable for the dryer. I have a family of 5 so I used them daily. The washer broke a belt and was very loud at times. I can not remember all the repairs but I had at least 7 calls for repairs over 10 days. I bought the basic model with no frills. The washer and dryer are both white and easy to keep clean. They look very good in my utility room next to each other. I purchased the base model with no special options. I have been very happy with the washer and dryer, and with the price I had to pay for them. I used the washer and dryer daily, and they were dependable.
Kenmore performs like a dryer should and doesnt let me down! Have had this dryer for years and years and it has been so dependable. My grown up boys even used it when learning how to be on their own. Its very dependable indeed! I have used mine for years and years and it still performs well. It can dry a lot of clothes at one time and they all come out dried evenly. Its easy to keep clean inside and out. It has a tough, durable finish that still looks new. Just a quick spritz of cleaner and a quick wipe of a towel and it looks like new again! Kenmore has always been reasonably priced when you take into consideration how long and how well the product will last you. Having no worries that it will need costly and time-consuming repairs is a blessing.
It was a clothes washer and I liked that it had a large capacity, also various settings according to the clothes materials. I particularly liked the fact that when the cycle was completed it buzzed and continued to buzz every ten minutes until the door was opened. I also liked that when the cycle was on it was quiet, did not make much noise while running. The dryer supplied all the features that I needed and I was satisfied with the drying cycles. The dryer machine was included in my house purchase and I felt that the quality and ease of using the machine was good. It met my expectations. The replacement dryer that I have was a gift to me and is a GE, but if I were to purchase a new dryer I definitely would consider Kenmore.
Worked well. No problems---easy to use, quiet and efficient. Would buy these products again and recommend them to anyone have had other washers and dryers over the years but these were the ones I preferred.
Works like a normal dryer that dries clothing that is wet and soggy. Slightly unsightly. Not extremely loud, but certainly noticeable. Very reliable dryer, plenty of space for larger loads of clothes. Worked well for over 10 years without breaking or needing major repairs. Although its obviously not gorgeous, its simple and the design is clean. Easy to access buttons. Extremely large and clunky, takes up a large amount of space. Although I can no longer remember how much it had cost originally, I believe that this dryer is a good value for the price and reliability of the machine.
Im happy with this machine, gets the job done and is good at it. I would purchase again if given the option. I would also recommend to family and friends. Has been very reliable, no hassles, breakdowns, no nothing. I havent had to have it repaired or replace. I can wash a load of laundry and know that my items are nice and clean. Very Proud of this purchase. Nice, clean, and sleek. Does not look outdated and fits my home decor perfectly. Best Purchase to date. I got a great deal of this washer and dryer set. The value is well worth the price. Having my own washer and dryer has saved me hundreds of dollars from going to laundromats. Very good purchased and well invested.
It works every time I use it so I am happy that I havent had to fix the dryer. My washer is me more and I havent had to get that fixed either. I am overall happy with my experience. My washer and dryer both seem to be very reliable. I do laundry every week and it always works for me. Sometimes it makes a loud noise but it seems to fix itself. I consider it reliable. I guess the appearance of my washer and dryer is fine. They are both placed in the basement so it doesnt matter very much. If we move them upstairs I will want more attractive machines. My value on these machines is very good because they were given to my boyfriend and I and we havent had to put any money into them to keep them working.
My Kenmore Elite washer and dryer are fantastic. We have had them for 18 months and they operate perfectly - no problems whatsoever. We love these two machines and use them every day.
Got machine free. Was 26 years old then. Have had it for 8 years and works great and cleans very good. Never have had a problem with machine since I got it. Works as if it was a new machine but it is a relic in my shed. Mfg. could learn from OLD KENMORES! They make nothing but CRAP these days and there is plenty of proof by the massive repair bills floating around. Appliances today are not reliable. Sister bought a new Maytag with dryer. Computers keep breaking down and it costs a small fortune to fix! Doesnt matter on cost if machine lasts. Today most of my friends who have purchased new machines (last 3 years) have all had their machines repaired. Does not say much for the quality these days. My Kenmore - 32 years old still runs great!
I thought I was going to get better performance from the cleaner. It was average. The dryer was ok. But expecting the cleaner to do above average of its function. It did clean the clothes but not in a above average kind of way. It lasted me for few years, except the washer had a problem in the second year of purchasing it. Good thing I had a warranty so the washer was replaced but the hassle of customer service people it was a nightmare but eventually I got a washer. Personally I like newer digital models, and the washers with doors opening from the side but those were too expensive but for my budget and my choice within my budget I was ok with the appearance of the washer and dryer. I wasnt happy with price tag for both washer and dryer, but I needed a washer and a dryer for the house. The price was steep when I purchased it but it seemed really steep when the washer broke down after two years of purchasing it.
It take only thirty minutes to dry small to medium loads and an hour to dry large to ex-large loads. An excellent dryer. It last a very long time more than 3 years tops. The appearance is what I like about it because of the door and the way it opens up. I dont like the newer dryers. I would recommend it to my family and friends because of the value you put your money into. It is worth the price to have a nice name brand dryer like this one.
We have had this dryer somewhere around a year or so and I have never had a problem with it. This dryer works great, it is easy to clean and it runs like a charm. It is a great dryer for the price and it does the job well. It is white or maybe an egg shell type color with blue or grayish knobs things. We like it a lot and it looks clean. Most people need a little help with basics these days and this dryer helps foot that bill. I would let a friend know about it sure.
Very satisfy of the perfect washer machine! I will recommend to buy that for everybody! And better to buy with dryer machine in complex. Theyre perfect, fresh and dry.
My Kenmore washer and dryer are white and modern looking. The controls are easy to choose for the right amount of clothes, the right temperature for the type of clothing being washed. The washer does not have a center agitator so you can put more clothes in it. Clothes do not get tangled up and come out clean. It is energy efficient and uses less water. Both my Kenmore washer and dryer are huge capacity so I have fewer loads as I can wait two weeks before I do the laundry. Kenmore products last a long time and I am satisfied with the performance of both the washer and dryer. The ease of using them plus the performance makes it well worth the price we paid.
I always used a liquid detergent. I never used powders. I always kept the dryer vents cleaned out to prevent fires and to help the dryer be more efficient. Both my washer and dryer lasted more than 15 years. I think the secret is to use liquid detergents and to keep the dryer vent clean especially to the outside. Neither of my appliances had to have any service other than what I just described. Even though I purchased the cheaper or plain models I found that they were easy to keep clean and that their finish held up very well over the fifteen plus years I used them. For the monies I invested and the usage I received for my fifteen years of usage I think I came out very well and not having to spend monies for service or repairs especially speaks to the quality of both machines.
Kenmore has always been a top brand when it comes to washer and dryers. Every home that I have had I made sure that Kenmore was installed. They are big enough on the inside and yet still compact to fit in any space.
It was very easy to use, and clothes truly have no wrinkles. Large loads even dry extremely well, as do thicker fabrics, such as rugs or towels. Its capacity is more impressive than previous dryers, I was able to completely and efficiently dry my familys towels and washrags in one load. It looks sleek, and its simple color goes with any house aesthetic youre going for. It isnt a big eyesore either. It goes with anything. The price I paid for the dryer made me think that it would be a nice dryer, but it has exceeded my expectations. If I had known it would perform this well, I would have no issues paying more for it.
Had one for years. It worked great and I would highly recommend it to anyone or buy another one for myself. They are the best. I mean it is a Sears product - what else can you say? The freezers are great also and I had a washer and dryer also. Kenmore products are the best.
Purchased a pair of washer and dryer that was on the lower cost level and within three years, both had stop working to the point that it made repair fiscally illogical. The motor went out on the washer, and drum bearing and surround seal went out as well as the element shorted.
The drum bearing of my 8-year old Kenmore washer with matching dryer went out. The cost of the part is $2. Service man quoted $972 to fix. What is Sears thinking? Plain obsolescence! Kenmore is not manufactured to have the bearing replaced. You have to buy the complete drum and spin basket. Ridiculous. Its built to fail in a Frigidaire plant. Dryer is designed to fit only another Kenmore product. So, I also have to buy a new dryer. Needless to say, it will not be Kenmore and it will not be purchased at Sears. I will buy a Meile washer and dryer and never buy from Sears again. No wonder they are failing. I would prefer to support local businesses, but until they realize consumers are tired of paying high prices for Chinese garbage, smart consumers will seek superior quality in brands made in Europe.
The washer performs as expected. No issues after 4 years. Very cost and energy efficient. Kenmore is a very trustworthy brand and this is just an example of why that is so. Very reliable. Runs quiet for the most part. Using this washer is enjoyable and very simple. Kenmore made a great product. The design is very sharp. The color is appealing and matches my dryer. Im happy with its appearance and I wouldnt change a thing about it. This machine is very cost and energy efficient. Thats the number one reason I chose it. I have no regrets. This machine work as expected and it was money well spent.
August 2016 I went shopping at Sears. I specifically asked to stay away from LG. I know they had many problems and steered clear. The sale associate failed to tell me Kenmores were now made with LG parts. I had my fridge less then 2 years and the compressor and system has failed. It took me 10 days to get a repair guy to come out and 10 more days to schedule for the repair. I can get it under warranty however, I am told I have to pay labor. They obviously are charging me an arm and a leg for labor. I have a Kenmore 13 year old fridge and an old washer and dryer that have lasted. I wanted to stick with what I knew. However, now that they have LG parts you pay the extra money for a small name stuck on the outside of the fridge. I would NEVER buy a Kenmore again, and would recommend others do the same. You are getting an LG fridge. If you want LG they are cheaper with the same parts.
