Kenmore Dryer Repairs
If you're looking for help fixing your Kenmore Dryer, look no further! Our comprehensive Kenmore Dryer 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 Dryer won't start
Thermal Fuse. The thermal fuse is a safety device designed to protect the dryer from overheating. The fuse is located on the blower housing or at the dryer’s heat source such as the heating element on electric dryers or at the burner on gas models. The fuse should be closed for continuity meaning it has a continuous electrical path through it when good. If overheated the fuse will have no continuity meaning the electrical path is broken and the fuse has blown. A multimeter can be used to test it for continuity. Be aware that a blown thermal fuse is an indication of a restricted exhaust vent from the dryer to the outside. Always check the dryer venting when replacing a blown thermal fuse.
Kenmore Dryer stopped spinning
Drive Belt. The drive belt is a very long, slender belt that wraps all the way around the dryer drum, around a tension pulley, and then around the drive motor pulley. Over time, the belt can break from normal use. If the belt is broken, the dryer won’t turn. To quickly determine if the belt is broken, reach into the dryer and turn the drum by hand. If the drum spins very easily, the belt is likely broken. Next, inspect the belt to confirm that it is broken. If the belt is broken, replace it.

Over time, the belt can break from normal use. If the belt is broken, the dryer won’t turn. To quickly determine if the belt is broken, reach into the dryer and turn the drum by hand. If the drum spins very easily, the belt is likely broken. Next, inspect the belt to confirm that it is broken. If the belt is broken, replace it.
Kenmore Dryer takes too long
Air Flow Problem. If the vent is clogged or partially clogged, it will restrict the airflow through the dryer, substantially increasing the drying time. To ensure proper dryer performance, you should clean your dryer’s venting system at least once per year.
Kenmore Dryer overheating
Heating Element. The heating element warms the air before the air enters the dryer drum. If the element is partially shorted out, it may produce heat continuously, even if the dryer has reached the proper temperature. When this happens, the dryer gets too hot. To determine if the heating element is at fault, use a multimeter to test each terminal for continuity to the case. If the heating element has continuity to the case, it is shorted out. If the heating element is shorted out, replace it.

Kenmore Dryer tripping breaker
The Circuit Breaker is Weak. Over time, circuit breakers can weaken. If the circuit breaker is weak, it may trip too often, even if the amperage draw is below the limit. If you have already checked all of the potentially defective dryer components, consider having an electrician replace the circuit breaker.
Kenmore Dryer makes noise
Drive Belt. The drive belt is a very long, slender belt that wraps all the way around the dryer drum, around a tension pulley, and then around the drive motor. Over time, the drive belt can become frayed or otherwise damaged. If the drive belt is frayed or damaged, the dryer will be noisy as it turns. Inspect the drive belt for signs of wear. If the drive belt is worn, replace it.

Kenmore Dryer maintenance
Ive always had Kenmore washer and dryers. With little or no problems. I purchased the large capacity 700 series so I could wash bedding and large loads of jeans. With no agitator in the drum clothes and bedding does not rotate. When you load the clothes or bedding whatever is on top stays there and just floats around. Meanwhile what is on the bottom gets knotted up. What cloths are on top does not get clean. It seems the washer never adds enough water even if you select deep fill. The only loads it seems to work on are loads of white. IE white sock, underwear where the articles of clothing are small enough to get swished around. IMO this washer is the biggest p.o.s. The engineers that invented this washing system better go back to the drawing board.
We have had both our washer and dryer for over 10 years. They are worry-free appliances with consistent high performance. I would definitely recommend Kenmore products. Very reliable. Able to wash and dry a large volume of clothes at one time. Attractive looking and hard working. The appliance size fits in nicely in our laundry area. They are also very easy to use and pretty quiet to use. Both the washer and dryer were very affordable and I would not hesitate to purchase a Kenmore product in the future. We have had no service issues ever aside from ordering replacement pieces. The appliances are over 10 years old and are used constantly!
My Kenmore dryer is great. I have had it for over 5 years and it still dries clothes super quick. Would definitely recommend that other people purchase Kenmore appliances. Thank you so much Kenmore for the quality products you have that make my life so much easier.
I had a Kenmore Washer & Dryer for 13 years and only had to replace 1 part on the washer and my husband did it. So we thought it was time to purchase a new set that might be more energy efficient and thought we would go with the Kenmore brand again. July 2013 we purchased the Kenmore Elite top loading washer and matching dryer, for a lot of money, not bottom of the line. My husband was not happy with the washer right away, he felt his work clothes were not getting clean. I thought it might be the setting they were getting washed on so I tried different combinations. I also realized that I couldnt let items soak in the water overnight, it would drain out. We continued to use them since they were not broken and we had given away our other set. In the last 1-2 months I cant wash a load of anything (it first was only blankets) it stops and says unbalanced load. I had them installed by the company who brought them but I double checked that the washer was level, and it was. I cant get through washing a load of 4 items, same weight without it taking all day, and stopping at the minimum of 4 times. I go and rebalance the clothes and start it again. I called and it is $79 to come out and look, if nothing is wrong, I lose the money. If they find something I get it back but pay for the parts & labor. Or I can purchase a new warranty for $229 for a year which covers certain items. I cant sell it without feeling guilty but it was not a couple of hundred dollars, I even feel guilty giving it to anybody but I dont even want to deal with it anymore. Friends have washers and Love them! The dryer is fine, no complaints. Trying to figure out if I should choose plan A or plan B... My luck is bad.
Kenmore Series 500, top loader washer with automatic load sensing - Ordered online, everything went wrong (multiple order numbers) from beginning to end. But, my biggest complaint is the actual washer. It has an automatic water sensor that doesnt give you enough water to completely wash the load. Even after two rinses, the clothes still come out with lint on my black capris (washed separately). They are not thoroughly washed and result in a big tight knot in my washer upon completion. I have tried deep wash, but theres no way to get additional water in it. The water sensor barely gives you enough water to get the clothes damp. I hate it. Give me the old fashioned one with a knob to select water level, and an agitator would be nice too. Not sure what genius decided washing clothes with no agitator and no water would be a great idea!!!
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!
My Kenmore fridge did everything it was made to do, awesome performance, it kept things good and cold. I would recommend to anyone. Size of my Kenmore was perfect for my house, it fit right in place. It was not too wide, or too tall. It was just right for what I needed. Size is everything when purchasing a Kenmore refrigerator. Appearance is everything, I had a white one. Love Kenmore products because they last a long time. Like the dryers do too. The costs is very satisfying for the Kenmore refrigerator, considering I bought mine about 10 years ago, costs is very important also but theyre well worth the money you pay for them.
Never had a problem with my washer or dryer. Theyre pretty much a basic washer and dryer for a base model, but they work good for the price I paid for them. They always wash the loads and the dryer is quiet. They are made by one of the best company for this. You can always count on Kenmore to have a good product and the price is fair for what you get. I would not have a problem buying one again. They are always on sale at Sears and you cannot beat the price of these two.
I loved the quality of the refrigerator and the fact that Kenmore has a great brand name and recognition. Have used their washers and dryers for years with no issues. I loved the fridges top double doors and the bottom pullout freezer. There was plenty of space in both the upper and lower portions of it and pullout shelves were fantastic and spill proof. Lots of room but lighting in the interior could have been a little better but it was just fine. The freezer was great also.
2 years without a problem. Simple controls. Have dials so push buttons dont go bad. All I have to do is select the soil, water temp, and fill the tub. The machine even knows how much water to put in by how full the basket is. I had been shopping for a new set for some time. Most brands nowadays you have to have a degree in engineering to operate them. I needed something I could hook up and go. I dont want to spend a lot of time figuring out how to run the appliance. My set is so simple to use. No electronic parts/push buttons. Just turn the dial to your preferred setting and water temp. The water level in the machine is determined in the machine by the amount of clothes put in. So simple. Clothes come out clean. The dryer is just as simple and the clothes come out almost wrinkle free. No fuss. Able to get all the weekly laundry done in one day.
It worked well for the price. It lasted a few years before I had to replace it. Overall I did enjoy it for the quality cleaning it provided for me and my clothes. It lasted a long time and managed to keep my clothes dry and clean without taking a long time. It was a quality piece of machinery that makes me want to go and get another. The look is very professional and clean, without being too distracting. I enjoy its quiet presence, not needing to be flashy to be appealing to consumers. I would buy another soon. The washer and dryer are worth the price for the amount of time they last. I feel that it is important to find a good deal, and these two are just that for anyone on a budget.
I purchased the pair of Kenmore Elite Oasis Canyon size washer and dryer in August of 2007. I have spent so much money on repairs, and I simply want to put it on the sidewalk with a warning sign for anyone who will take it. It began less than a year after I purchased it. First, it was the F1 code. It turns out that the control board was faulty. They paid for a portion of it, but I got stuck with the rest and the labor. Then, the dryer began acting up. It only dries the clothes on Timed Dry, and it usually takes 70 minutes to dry a load. Do you know how much power that uses? The washer has since been repaired two more times. The tub had to be replaced within the first 3 years. Now, I am getting the DL code, which means the door will not latch. There is nothing blocking this from happening. I just wish Sears would honor their products and care about their customers. I also wish Kenmore would stand behind their products. When I told the repairman that washers are supposed to last longer than a decade and he said, Not anymore.” They make them like this so they can break down, and the company can make more money. I am so sad and angry. I read the message boards from so many frustrated people like myself. We are living from paycheck to paycheck. These repairs are too costly, and so is going to the laundromat. Can someone please help us?
The washer and dryer by Kenmore were amazing. Easy to use and really did a great job washing my familys clothes. The washer machine has every setting you need for all the different fabrics of your clothes. The dryer was also amazing. Never had a problem with my clothes not being dried all the way.
Worked fine for price. It was easy to fix and order parts for when I had problems to fix. Online parts were easy to find so overall worth it. It was reliable. I would recommend the purchase. I was happy with it. Its sleek mean dryin machine. I didnt buy the Ferrari model, more like the Honda Accord. Overall its white just like 99% of all dryers so its got that going for it, which is nice. It has value. For the price its as good as any dryer out there. Dries like no other dryer type ever seen. I would buy it again.
Several years ago when we first purchased Kenmore devices they were reliable and the service was great. The past few years the devices have not been as good quality wise or service wise. The last dryer we purchased was just dumped off and not properly installed. We had to go back to the store and complain before the job was done correctly.
It was so convenient to have the washer and dryer in our trailer. I had a 3 year old and was pregnant with my next child so I had plenty of laundry to do. We never were dirty! It was totally reliable. However, it moved across the floor if I put too much in it. I had to sit on it to control the movement sometimes. It was a matching white pair that fit neatly into an alcove off the hall in front of the bathroom, so it was a convenient location, near the places wed be removing our dirty clothing. The washer and dryer were also shiny and easy to clean.
Very cost effective and gets clothes very clean. Extra features like delayed start is amazing. Super quiet and easy to use. No mechanical problems. Has 60 different options and combos to get your clothes clean. My favorite is the express wash. I always find something I need to wear but it dirty, 20 min later Im ready to go. They look nothing like the wash/dryer I grew up with. These machine are intuitive and really make laundry easy. I am saving money on detergent and water!!! This will help to get clothes cleaner while using less detergent and water. You clothes get dry five times faster. And easy of use make doing laundry almost fun.
I like the sleek look with very detailed instructions and large tubs. They get clothes very clean in the washing and they dry quickly and the clothes come out soft and with very few wrinkles. They are stylish and last a very long time and are always dependable. I can always count on Kenmore to give me the results I am looking for and expect in the washers and dryers. I will continue to purchase Kenmore. Kenmore products are reliable and quiet when in use and always do the job.
Our Kenmore washer/dryer pair work beautifully, are inexpensive to operate, and have been wonderfully reliable. I would certainly buy them again. They wash extremely well and dry quickly and fully. Easy to operate and simple to load and unload. Highly recommended.
Our Kenmore Washer is 20 years old and has never caused us an issue. Its reliability convinced us to buy a second Kenmore dryer when the first one shut down. The first dryer was very good but I think dryers, in general, dont last as long.
I am very satisfied with their products. They never fail me. They always get my stuff extra clean. My stuff always come out like brand new thats why I love my washer and dryer. My husband has never had a problem either. Were thinking about getting a newer version.
My Kenmore top load high efficiency washing machine has a large tub so you can effectively clean a large load of clothes or a heavy winter quilt. The dryer easily dries the large loads and the great thing about the dryer is that everything comes out with no wrinkles.
My washing machine never has a problem getting stains out of my clothing. Ive never had to put heavily soiled clothing in for more than one cycle. Ive owned Kenmore machines for a very long time and Ive never had a problem with reliability. Any part that breaks down has always been able to be easily replaced. The appearance of my washing machine fits in nicely with my other modern appliances. It matches the look of my dryer, refrigerator and other appliances. My washing machine was a very good buy. I considered it to be quite cheap for the value. It has always been very reliable and well worth the money.
On 2/19/2010, I purchased the Kenmore Elite Washer Model # 796.4102. I also have the Kenmore Elite Dryer Model # 796.8102. Both units have provided nothing besides headaches, damage to our clothing and frustration. I will never do business with Sears again (rumor has it you are going out of business anyway).First of all, my motor went out on my washer that has a 10-year warranty. Sears would not stand behind their parts warranty since I did not have the A&E guy come out and service it and pay him $75! It cost me for labor $114.50 and $147.00 respectively just for labor to fix the defective motor of your product. For the parts, it cost me $69.55 & $55.90 respectively. This was for the Stator Assembly and for the new wash machine motor. I have receipts for all of the OEM parts and service work that was completed by Tolson Appliance Center Inc. 540-347-3030. Jim did the work. Nice guy.The motor on the washer burnt out. The washer also leaks water when you wash towels and has a defective design flaw in how it vents the water in the back. My pan fills up and drains water on a regular basis. The unit is at fault and Im out of pocket now (not to mention the time and frustration) to fix just the washer - $386.95. The cost of the washer was $1127.99! This does not include setup, delivery etc., charges...We also purchased on the same date as the washer the Kenmore Elite dryer (dryer cost = $1057.49) model # 796.8102 (Electric). Its under four years old and nothing but problems, frustration and damage. In 2011, we had Sears come out and allegedly fix the removable lint dryer for $129.00 on Friday, October 14, 2011. Then we called and complained about the design flaw with the lint dryer filter (the removable slat that has the screen where each time you remove it to clean off the lint) a.k.a. lint trap. The customer service people said it was warped and sent us a new one. The same exact issue happened again in under 3 months. My Nike sweat pants are damaged ($60 bucks). All of my wifes camis are damaged; our 900+ thread count sheets from Italy are damaged. The dryer lint is a serious design flaw that is causing serious damage to our clothing and we are very upset. I have pictures and receipts of everything, all of the parts and labor service work and all of the damage to our clothing.Now, last week, the dryer stopped working. We had an A&E guy come out who said the motor in the dryer is fried and that to fix everything its going to cost us (with the new control board) over $500! This is crazy; not even four years old and both units are ready to be hauled to the curb and are causing damage to our home (leaking washer) and to our clothing, dryer - lint trap design flaw. Now I dont have a dryer that works and spent almost $400 to fix the washer and now you, Sears (A&E), want me to fork over $500 to fix the washer that is not even 4 years old! I dont think so; this has to stop! Im done doing business with SEARS and will not spend one more penny with SEARS Holding.Stand behind your products. Replace my dryer with one that does not have the design flaw with the lint trap, refund my cost to fix the washer (parts & labor) and replace my washer with a washer that does not leak. Does Sears sell appliances to fall apart in a few years and ** customers with repair, parts and service work? This is completely unethical. Why would someone design a dryer with the steam option that vents directly into the electrical controller board to make the board electronics damp and crap out? Why would a white box appliance that should have a minimum design life of at least 10 years be crapping out in under four? Why would Sears sell a washer that constantly leaks water and pose potential damage to home owners, their home and dryers and damage clothing?If you want to follow up with me on this, you call me. Im not waiting on hold for hours for someone to send me a $50 gift card!
Immediately once I bought it I knew that it would be easy to use. After trying it for my first time I was hooked and it did the trick as it washed all of our clothes extremely easily. So far it seems extremely durable and works like a charm. The only downside is that you still have to remember when to get your clothes out. The appearance is what most people seem to want in a washer/dryer, a good aesthetically pleasing coat of white with some chrome around certain spots. Its definitely worth the price even if others say it isnt. I use it almost every day for all of my kids and my wifes clothes so you know it does the job for the price.
The washer and dryer was durable. It last a long time with no problems. It got my clothes very clean and it never broke down. I would recommend this washer to a friend. I have always been happy because it gave me no problems. It performed great, economic on water use and energy efficient, stable, cleans well. Has different cycles. The appearance was nice and the capacity is very large so you can get laundry done in a timely manner. Its energy efficient. It is a great value whatever price you pay and of high quality.
After washing my dark clothing (no towels or other fuzzy items) they continue to be left with lint, soap or some other residue. Upon instructions from an authorized Kenmore repairman I was told to cut my detergent down to 1 Tsp (small) to 1 Tbl (large). My loads are of medium size but I still only used ONE TEASPOON of HE detergent. No change. Still showing signs of lint/soap on my dark clothes. Again, upon instructions from authorized Kenmore repairman I ran a complete load of darks only WITHOUT ANY DETERGENT AT ALL. The dark clothes from that load again show sign of lint, soap or something else remaining. When now reading reviews for Kenmore washers this seems to be a recurring problem. Wish I had read them first or I never would have purchased this Sears Kenmore Washer Model 25132411. Will someone take responsibility and find out why my new washer is not cleaning my clothes properly?
Always been a fan of this brand washer/dryer combination. My parents and grandparents supported this brand. The load capacity of the washer is substantial, and the dryer holds ample sizes of laundry. Each has a very low repair cycle, and noise level is minimal. As previously stated, reliability and low repair needs is a huge plus for these machines. Drying time is seemingly shorter to achieve maximum results. These products are very smartly designed and look good in any laundry room facility. Various color schema is available and appealing. Easy access and loading qualities are helpful to all using the machines. These machines are a great economic deal. The value certainly matches any reasonable price accorded. We have always found these products comparable if not less expensive than rival brands.
I love my washer and dryer. It always gets the job done and in a relatively short amount of time. It easily holds my large loads of wash and everything come out clean, never have to worry about stains! My dryer has many settings for a variety of items. I am always positive that my laundry will be dry, fluffy and wrinkle free. Our king size comes out just as fluffy and beautiful as a load of sheets. For the price I paid it is an amazing value. I run this thing like a racehorse almost every day of the week and it never lets me down. I know I can depend on my Kenmore washer.
When I moved into my house the Kenmore dryer had some years on it. The dryer is still performing well. I would recommend Kenmore products as one of the best out there on the market. It keeps on going drying clothes year after year with no complaints. Kenmore is known for their reliability or to say you get your money worth. It gives the Maytag guy a run for the money. Its yesterdays style and pretty basic in its look. I find it just fine for my taste as long as it gets the job done. Some folks like basic and some like the real high tech. The beauty is in the eye of the beholder. When its all said and done Kenmore give you a bang for your buck. The builders and engineers were thoughtful in the design and assembly to add value.
The dryer works great. The different settings allow for the complete dryness or just throw wrinkled clothes to smooth them out. The wrinkle setting works amazing. It has worked every time. Very reliable.... Always drys clothes in the right amount of time. Any time I had an issue it was easy to fix. I like the appearance. It is sleek and classic. I do wish they had color options though. It would be nice to have options so it could be a modern laundry room. Very worth the money. Its reliable and compares well to other dryers that are slightly above this price. Again it is really worth the money.
I purchased a Kenmore Elite Oasis HE washer and dryer in 2006. I would never buy another one. They are the worst pair I have ever owned. There always seems to be a problem. Just a little frustrating like getting off balance multiple times during each wash, even if I carefully place the clothes around the sides. It is perfectly level also. The sensor of the dryer quit years ago. I cant leave the washer and dryer on without being in the house to try to fix the problem when it occurs, or to check the clothes, to see if they are dry. The pair cost me $1,948.92 in 2006. I had just retired, and hoped this pair would last. I want to be reimbursed, so I can purchase a different pair. I wouldnt even feel honest, if I give them to goodwill.
I love the timed sensors for the clothing being dried. Most dryers have the times setting (which this one does) but it is also very easy to over dry your clothes and then a burnt smell could happen. Delicates setting is perfect with the sensor. I love it. I have actually bought another one for my friend who had a terrible old dryer. Her clothes are no longer a burnt smell. The reliability of this dryer is just simply fantastic. It doesnt overheat. It runs very quiet. I love the front facing dryers. Its easier for me being short to grab and put items in the dryer. I love the circle look to it as well. Having top for some laundry folding space is wonderful too. The value of this product I too believe couldnt be any better. I am simply satisfied and wouldnt go with another dryer. Hopefully the quality and value pay off in the long run.
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.
It performs good. It has lasted a long time. It washes clothes good and clean. It also performs very quiet not noisy. I had bought the washer a long time ago, so it has been around for a long time. Both washer and dryer is white. Both washer and dryer is compact so it can be store just about any place. Both washer and dryer is small. The value of both the washer and dryer is very good. The washer and dryer was bought at a good price and for the price it works as good as the expensive ones.
My 80 year old mother bought a new Kenmore washer and dryer from Sears June 30, 2011. The last 2 weeks, the operation has been sporadic, and as of today, it wont fill or run through a cycle. She bought these to replace a 12 year old washer and dryer. I called Sears helpline and they couldnt find any record and immediately wanted me to schedule a $79.00 service call. I was eventually put on hold while she checked on something. 5 minutes later, another lady came on the phone and had no idea why I was calling. After some troubleshooting, she told me I needed either a control board or a lid switch and asked me again if I wanted to schedule a $79.00 service call. I have never had a major appliance fail after only 3 1/2 years. Seems like the helpline just wanted to sell me a service call. If I have to replace this washer, you can rest assured it will not be with another Sears product since they dont stand behind this inferior product.
It gets the clothes dry in one cycle and it has many settings to fit my various clothes drying needs. Overall it is better than the other dryer I had. It is very reliable. I can set it to dry and then I wont have to keep restarting it. The clothes get dry when I open it up and the timer goes off. It is very sleek and looks like a regular dryer. It is nothing fancy but looks nice and tidy and clean and is not an eyesore. Nothing more to say about that. I would say it was an average price. Not that much more expensive or cheaper than any other dryer that I have seen out there. It was not a major financial setback to buy it.
Its amazing, I love this product very much. I recommend everyone to purchase this. My sister has one also and she enjoy it very much! I told a friend about it and she said shes thinking about buying one. My washer and dryer holds a large load and it gets my clothes very clean and dry. My clothes smells very good and when I wash my white clothes they comes out pure white. The appearance of this merchandise is very awesome and I love the size of it. It doesnt make loud noise when using it. Its easy to clean and the price for purchasing it is awesome. The value of this product is outstanding, you couldnt purchase this for a better price. I would recommend this to anyone. I know that this would last a long time cause its high quality.
My washer doesnt ring out water. Extra water smells like mold in your clothes. I wouldnt recommend this washer and the dryer kept blowing out. Kenmore washer with the side face is not a good product at all.
I have used a Kenmore washer and dryer for a number of years. My experience with these appliances has been excellent. When I required service of any type the company provided excellent service. These Kenmore products are of very fine quality and easy to use.
It dry fast and does not consume a lot of energy, is a little bit big so I guess if they designed smaller would work perfectly in my lifestyle. I have no problem so far, did not have to spend to fix it yet, which I believe accomplish the product promise. Its not about if is cute or not, but I prefer smaller design. And if I can get it in black color would match better the house decoration. It was not expensive and had save me a lot of money in the last year, thats why I am considering get the watching machine as well, hopefully works as well as the dryer.
Kenmore appliances are excellent. Ive had my Kenmore dryer for 15 years and its still running fine. Never had any problems with it. I also had a Kenmore washer that lasted for 12 years and it was running fine when we decided to replace it for a newer model with more features.
I tried Whirlpool at one time and the spin cycle in washer was out of place and shook all over the place so I wasnt fond of Whirlpool so I chose Kenmore. The dryer is pretty fast and keeps clothes pretty warm when drying compared to some dryers where they would have clothes that would feel cold or still not dry as you took them out of the dryer. But sometimes I would have to start it up two or three times for it to be completely dry after awhile of use. It was good to start out with but as years went on it was time to replace the dryer because of this issue.
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.
May 2016, we purchased a washer and a dryer and 6 months later the dryer started making a horrible humming sound. So, we called the customer service and repair person comes out says, These products are not really the Kenmore used to be. They are made by Whirlpool just the name Kenmore goes on it. He tried to find the problem and said, Sorry the metal casing of the machine is very thin and does not absorb the sound so it produces this humming. I have called 2nd time because when the dryer is on we cannot be around in the house, once my friends were visiting and they all were uneasy. I am so sorry that last year we sold our 33 years old Kenmore washer and dryer with the house and regret doing it. All I want is to exchange with a better product even if we have to pay a little more from our pocket. For almost 35 years I have not bought any other but Kenmore and seems like this will be my last and I am determined to tell all my family and friends to stay away from these electronics. My washer and dryer are still in warranty and I am to the point where I might go to a legal route. The washer has started the showing some problems such as locking the lid, leaving soap on clothes etc. After my first service call they want me to buy warranty on both items??? Amazing, instead of improving their products they want to make more money by selling the service contract so you feel being looted twice.
Efficient, economical quality value and dependability! I would recommend this mfg. to all who need a washing machine or a dryer. I would recommend the dryer also for the same reasons as the washing machine.
I had my washer and dryer for 8 years and they never let me down. I have 2 boys that are very messy and are rough on clothes so for them to hold out and work as good as they did was a blessing for a single mom who cant just go buy new things. When it came time to do laundry I was ready cause I knew I wouldnt have to do anything over again and again. No putting it back in for another ten mins and was always done right. I would buy them over and over again, I would make sure my family got them cause they work like a cleaning beast.
Both washing machine and dryer are very efficient and had lasted for a long time. We feel that they clean better and the electricity efficiency is one of the best in the market. In fact, when we had them replaced, we replaced them with the same brand.
Old machine but is reliable and gets the job done well. Ive been using Kenmore appliances for a few years now and have never been disappointed with its performance. I know that every time I use it my clothes will come out clean with almost no lint left on them. It also isnt as loud as other machines out there. Standard look, not an eyesore in any way but not fancy either, it has the simple yet efficient look of dependability. It is all white and easy to clean or wipe down if detergent is spilled on it, good size so doesnt take up too much space in the garage. I bought this maybe 4-5 years ago and it still is working as good as the first year of owning it. The newer models look nice and have more features, but if this one gives me 5+ more years, Im satisfied with the model I currently have.
On March 24, 2011 I purchased a new Kenmore Washer Model #21102 and a matching dryer which I have yet to hook or use. The dryer that is, not the washer. The washer has been a problem from day one. In my opinion its a design flaw on more than one account. The fins on this washer - and Im not a newbie to washers Ive had washers and dryers for over 50 years - and this the very first washer to tear clothing constantly and to get clothing lodged below the fins and thus tangle and tear them. It seemed to be more of a problem for my daughter so I was quite sure what was going on. Was it her or the washer but then it did the same for me.In the 50 years of owning washers Ive never had to replace a belt and shield on a washer either. Ive gone more than a decade without having to do so but this is now the 2nd time I need to replace both in less than 4 years. Apparently the Kenmore name is no longer bullet-proof. My mother went 20 years without seeing a repairman on her Kenmore appliances either. So what is this a faulty design flaw or just crap?
I moved into my new home and the previous owner had left the washer and dryer. I was very happy to know I didnt have to purchase them. To my surprise they were both Kenmore... kind of old, but they worked so good! I love them. I am very satisfied with this product, and very happy to have the opportunity to use them and find out how good these machines are.
Only a few things to fix in a few years. So, I can live with it, but I wish that the dryer would dry faster. We have had an issue in the past with what I guess you would call the drum of the dryer knocking around very loudly. It cost about fifty dollars to fix, but we didnt have the money for a new washer and dryer.
Its great. The dryer makes everything clean. This dryer is one of the best Kenmore machines weve ever had! I enjoy using the machine. The clothes come out clean and refreshed and reliable. This is my favorite dryer. I would recommend to all thinking about buying. Its very large and hard to move. It has very nice buttons that are reliable. The appearance is classy. It has large qualities that make it great. The value was not bad at all. It is efficient and the price is worth it. Go buy one now. This has to be the top of the line washer and dryer around.
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.
I purchased my Kenmore Heavy-Duty washer and dryer set the next week available after I got married in Feb 1976 (seventy-six). That makes it about mid-March 1976. Here now in Jan 2020 I can truthfully say that I never had one speck of trouble from the set until now when the washer stopped draining. Having a Sears repairman respond to fix the problem revealed that it cannot be repaired. I must now try to find another Kenmore Washer. Admittedly, I did not use it on any routine regularity and once not used at all when in an apartment without a hookup for a couple years. But, I suspect I won't need it to last as many as 44 more years since I'm now 73 years old. It worked just great for me!
I have had this Kenmore gas (Whirlpool) dryer since 1986! 3 years ago I had to replace the motor, so along with that I replaced the drum belt, rollers and igniter. Parts are readily available and being handy I did all the work. People seem to discard large appliances without even seeing if they can be repaired.
I felt this dryer lasted a long time. It never had any issues and did the job. I bought it 2 years ago. I was not sure what to expect as our Whirlpool dryer we had before had constant issues. Never a problem yet! Very good reliability. Never had to have a serviceman come out because it never broke. I highly recommend. We owned the Kenmore dryer. I am ok with the looks. It is a plain white dryer. I do not expect much look-wise, as long as it functions and lasts a long time. Great value, lasts a long time with no issues. The price is also very competitive.
Very well made. Had them for many years and were used many, many times. They were handed down to my daughter to use with her family. I only had to change belts once on washer and twice on dryer.
My clothes feel so much cleaner than they did with my old washer and it fits a decent size load of laundry. Dryer is quick and my power bill did not go up when I switched out my old one with this. These appliances are completely reliable. I have never had a problem with any element of either machine not working and we do at least 4 loads of laundry in our house each week. Not the most modern looking washer dryer set but it is modernized and looks fine in my laundry closet, not that anyone but myself ever sees it. Its a updated basic side by side washer dryer set design. All appliances are so very expensive these days but this set was a fraction of the cost of the nicest models available and I am more than happy with it for the price I paid.
Have had my washer and dryer for over 15 years and have never had any problems with either machine. They work great. Large capacity washer holds lots of clothes and large capacity dryer dries lots of clothes. This cuts down on the time I have to spend doing laundry.
Weve had them for a long time and the dryer is starting to wear out. I mean its fine I guess but its so annoying at this time so who even really knows. SIIIGH. Anyway. I will tryyy to fix you.
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.
Kenmore is of the best choice of washing and drying machines but they do not last thirty years like washers and dryers used too. I for one am in need of New washer and dryer but can not afford one at this time. Have stretched self repair to my limits.
This dryer works well, easy to use controller settings. Even my mother can use it. Love this dryer! After buying several high-end dryers that never last or dont work well. We decided to quit spending a ton of money on dryers! This by far has been our best dryer by a long shot! Works fantastic. Dries fast and get hit! Definitely would purchase again! It is a dryer, it is placed in the basement. I dont care about the appearance at all. It is cheap model and it was on sale when we bought it.
I have paid for the 700 series washer and dryer set. In a four-month time frame, had the Sears warranty people come look at the washer twice because the clothes literally are not coming clean. It is supposed to be a high efficiency washer yet I am having to rinse my dark clothes in hot water, on a deep fill, and rinsing FOUR times. I am no longer saving any money having a high efficiency washer and even after FOUR rinses my clothes are dirty. The Sears warranty guy says that it is the actual washer, the clothes do not come clean and I should have got a front-loader which nobody told me. I am loading the clothes correctly, I am using the correct soap, I am separating my clothes, and I just get dirty clothes out.
When first bought worked very well for a few years then gradually started taking longer to dry loads of laundry. Worth the money though. Ive only had to replace a few parts through the years but the dryer is still running well. Dryer belt seems to wear quicker than all other parts. The color of the washer makes it look sleek and also blends very well with my apartment walls. Although lint does accumulate on the top and is very visible due to the light color of the dryer. For what I paid for the dryer I have received my money back and then some in savings from not having to go to the laundromat and various places to get quarters.
The Kenmore deluxe dryer with heat sensor technology deserves nothing less than poor performance rating from this purchaser. I have had Sears service technician here several times trying to satisfy my complaint that it dries clothes poorly. After several computer assisted adjustments it still does not dry socks and heavy bulky items after being in the dryer 60 plus minutes.Terrible dryer, many different settings have been tried with no success. The auto dry feature does not work as advertised. The technician said its the dryer sheets. Bunk, I hardly use any. Warning try and get any assistance from Sears in Chicago, forget it. Junk, dont buy appliances from Sears. I have been a loyal Sears customer 30 plus years and their stuff is so bad. Im glad they are failing and going under as I had to get rid of their washer. It was so undependable. Buy from dependable manufacturers and remember Sears is not what we remember them for.
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.
I have had my Kenmore washer and dryer for over 10 years and have never had a problem. I am thoroughly happy with these appliances and would highly recommend Kenmore products. The washer was quiet and efficient and the dryer completed the cycles without leaving any clothes damp.
Our machines so far have lasted for 18 years with no problems. They have done the job, worked well and have not required any repairs. What more can you ask from a washer and dryer.
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.
We purchased our Kenmore Elite HE5 Steam dryer 5 years ago. We have been satisfied with the performance. Recently the dryer malfunctioned. It would turn on, but would not begin the drying cycle. Online it was recommended to replace the thermal fuse for under $20. I replaced the fuse and the dryer still didnt work. I scheduled a Sears repair technician to repair the dryer. He determined that the door switch malfunctioned. He said he normally carried on, but was out. After checking he determined that the part was on back order for the next 2-3 months. I called local suppliers and they stated this is problem with the model and there were 15 in front of me waiting for the part. I contacted Sears and they were of no help. Their solution was to wait for the back ordered part or buy a new dryer. Sears was of no help. If anyone has a source for the door switch it would be greatly appreciated.
The washer has several different settings which helps depending on the type of load that is being washed. This helps to save time and get a good clean, especially on my husbands nasty welder work clothes. This washer has maintained and worked well despite the rough and tough work clothes along with all the heavy weighted dog towels and even does well on winter comforters. All of this without any major issues and still getting a good clean even on some of the worst dirt my dogs can make. I can say it has a sleek enough design to fit into my kitchen which is where my laundry center is. The value of this washer and the dryer are terrific because they both handle everything I can throw at them without giving me any major issues. My husband is a welder and has some funky work clothes yet they get very clean in a single wash which is a wonderful time saver.
The model number of these two Kenmore refrigerators is 106 71194101; S/N for the one in our kitchen is EM2815239, the S/N for the one in our basement is EM3413223. The refrigerator in our kitchen started depositing water in the cabinet area, coming out of the tower. I placed a container under the tower to catch the water and this continued for a week, when we finally called the service department. The service representative knew immediately what was wrong with the refrigerator. He said it was frozen up and was depositing the water that should be going into the defrost pan into the cabinet area via the tower. He said it was a faulty design of this particular model refrigerator. He tore the entire freezer area apart and there was ice accumulated on the coils and under the bottom pan of the freezer area. This cost us $140 (a senior discount). Just a couple of weeks ago, this refrigerator again started to deposit water in the cabinet area, so we knew what the problem was and we tore the freezer area apart, as the service representative had done and removed all the ice that had once again accumulated in the freezer area. These refrigerators are supposed to be frost-free and this is getting to be quite a job, as in the last week, we also found water had accumulated in our basement refrigerator. Quite a large amount of water was in the cabinet as we do not get into this refrigerator daily. So once again, we had to put all the food in coolers and dismantle the freezer and had to use a hair dryer, due to the fact that the ice had become very thick around the tower and we could not remove the bottom pan until we melted it. This is getting very annoying and a lot of work having to remove all the food from the freezer and trying to keep it frozen, so it wont spoil. We have been very loyal customers of Sears. We have always had Sears washers and dryers, many tools have been purchased by my husband, lawn mowers, blowers, etc. Actually, I worked for Sears in the Credit Dept. Canton, OH after my graduation in 1948, until I was married in 1949. I was a very active shopper from the catalog, for our children, when I was working, made if very convenient to use. Just had to pick up the items at the catalog dept. I still buy many things of clothing for our grandchildren and great-grandchildren from Sears. We are so disappointed in these 2 refrigerators. I would like to know if you have any suggestions as to how the poor design of these refrigerators can be corrected so they do not freeze up. Thank you. I will be waiting to hear from CEO Lou DAmbrosio.
Kenmore Elite HE 4 - Since 2004 I bought the pair. It cost a lot over 2000 but worth every penny. I put a long term warranty on it. Worth every penny. My first front loader in over 20 years and I cant say enough about it. I have it serviced every year to be sure it is running right. I love this machine. I had the matching dryer but it was gas and when I sold my home I moved into an all electric apt. Would love to find that dryer. I had the stand for it. I carry a long term warranty on it. A great machine.
Never ever had a problem with my washer or my dryer! I had them for 10 years before I upgraded and they still ran well. I just wanted bigger ones as my family grew. :) I now have a new set and they run just as well and I do not have any issues with these either. All of our kitchen appliances are Kenmore too because of how much we love the brand. :)
Purchased a Kenmore Washer Top Loader 4 years ago. Needed replacing about 1 year ago but used it and tried to limp by as buying a new washer was not in the budget. However it soon became impossible to continue with this piece of equipment. It failed to spin and drain after the wash cycle. We finally had to give it up. Sometimes wed have to spin and drain 3 or 4 times to get the water out of the clothes and dryer ready. To fix this piece of junk it would be more cost effective to buy new. So today went out and had to do just that. We have other Sears appliances and theyre not much better. Dishwasher needed fixing after 2 years. Needed a new pump. I do not think Sears is making top notch equipment any longer. My first washer and dryer lasted well over 20 years. It was a Sears which was why we went with that brand again. I refuse to buy anymore appliances from Sears again. If you do have to buy, make sure you purchase an extended warranty at the time of purchase. YOU WILL NEED IT!!
Dries the clothes in one cycle. I love that it doesnt shake the ground when spinning! Am a satisfied buyer and definitely no buyers remorse. Am amazed as to how spacious the dryer is, take up to several loads on my lazy days and dries them to perfect (crisp). Hmm I can smell fresh laundry! I also love that it is beautiful appliance, and to think it doesnt eat all my kids socks. Anyways if you are shopping for a new appliances in the washer/dryer department, dont sit on the fence dear, pick this brand. Sometimes no matter how valuable something may pose to be, we hesitate when it comes to paying! But this appliances will stand the test of time and make us see the purchase is well worth it.
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.
I did not care for the Kenmore washer, and dryer. It only last me two years. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND Kenmore to any of my friends, and family. The quality is not there. The washer machine did not wash properly, and Dryer never dried the clothes.
I had a Kenmore top loading washer with a dryer for about 10 years before the washer died. Both units were great and without issues. Our replacement washer/dryers were also Kenmore. Both front loading machines. Still love them!
It works well enough and my clothes are always clean after using it. They are both a little loud but for the costs of them it is not an issue. Both machines are very reliable. I have never had an issue with my clothes not being clean or dry after using both of these machines. I would recommend them. The appearance is just fine. They are not the new modern washer and dryer but no one sees them so it doesnt matter. For the costs of both of these machines they are worth it. They are not the high-end kind but they get the job done and perform well in their functions. They are a good value for the money.
Mine is a basic white dryer, not fancy, no step up, just a dryer, but its perfect for me and my family. It looks like a normal dryer. Fits all my needs perfectly. I love it, it is simple and easy to use, even my teenager can understand. Also, I love the brand, very trustworthy. Even my older dryer, I wouldnt change a thing. Very dependable, quiet, excellent dryer. I love the buzzer feature that lets me know its done, also how it starts back up after a bit if I havent unloaded it to prevent wrinkles. It wasnt expensive, basic dryer, but its value to me is priceless. It makes life so much easier. To think of doing laundry at a laundromat makes me cringe, even hanging clothes outside makes me cringe.
Works great! Easy to operate. Wrinkle guard feature works great. Easy to move; easy to clean. I would recommend this dryer. This dryer is very reliable. I have not had to have it serviced yet. Runs quietly and runs with reasonable dry time lengths. No issues whatsoever with its operation. It is the standard white of most dryers. It is easy to maintain a clean finish with minimal effort. Just a quick polish with a dry cloth. An occasional damp sponge to rid some extra lint. While I paid a little more for the Kenmore, the overall value is good to me because of the lack of maintenance in the long term. It dries the clothes well and keeps the clothes in overall good repair.
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.
My Kenmore washer and dryer last for very long time because they are in America where they should be and they all this time never broken down and in need of repair because they are made by American workers who know how make things right in the first place.
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.
Its a great brand. Long lasting. Well worth the price. Also very easy to maintain. I would highly recommend Kenmore appliances. Ive had my dryer for a very long time and it still works like new.
Ive been reading the bad reviews on these washers since I own one with the same common problem of not cleaning clothes and leaving lint or detergent stuck to them. In theory, the washer determines how much water it needs and the user has no control of it. On my last load I opened the washer periodically and checked. The clothes were wet but not submerged at all. I felt around and there was only about two inches of water underneath the clothes. Over time, I took some photographs. It looked like almost nothing was changing. The same windbreaker and the same flannel sheet were visible in the same relationship to each other the whole time prior to the first spin.I have had loads come out with DRY patches on some of the wash. I think the root problem is not enough water, so maybe its just a sensor issue. I spoke to a technician and he says this is the nature of this design. It just isnt made to float the clothes and stir them up sufficiently to get them clean. I was wondering if anyone had actually gotten this problem resolved?
This dryer has AMAZING performance. I have very large comforters and had to always bring them to laundromats because of the size, until I bought this. It is very efficient on energy and spacious enough to wash some of the largest items. The reliability of this unit is SPECTACULAR! I have never had a single issue with it, not one. Others I have owned I have had issues with a few years into owning it. The appearance of this is great! Its attractive and elegant. It was a little more expensive than others in its class but with the savings in the energy usage and the physical size of the washer as far as what can fit in it, it is WELL worth the extra cost than others in its class! Value wise I HIGHLY recommend it!
Energy saving selection is a plus for me. Dries clothes the first time placing into the dryer. Runs quietly, a breeze to clean out the lint trap. Very reliable, doesnt take long to dry a full load. Even the children can operate it and I know that it will get the job done. Ive owned it for several years with no problems. Matching set has a clean look - easy to keep clean. Very reliable, priced right and looks good. What more can you ask for? No complicated settings. Very nice dryer. I was looking for an economically priced appliance and I found it. Good price, good look, good performance. If I ever need to replace it it will be with the same model and brand.
I have had a Kenmore washer and dryer that lasted for at least 8 years. We recently moved and left the Kenmores at our house that we sold. I think the new people will have some year of service from our Kenmores. Also, we left them a Kenmore refrigerator with side freezer. Sears has good quality Kenmore appliances and I feel I can always trust Kenmore appliances.
I own the unit that is the washer and the dryer stacked on top (It is all one piece). The washer becomes unbalanced frequently and shakes the whole room. I have to stop it and move the clothing around until I get it balanced. The clothes come out of the dryer very wrinkled. I have tried all different settings, fabric softener and things that you can put in the dryer; but the clothes are still very wrinkled and have to be ironed. I wish I had not bought this appliance.
The Load sensing Kenmore washer is outstanding. Nothing bothers me about it. I have been using it for three years. It takes extra large loads, and spins the clothes very well. Kenmore has an excellent reputation. Very few repairs are needed on Kenmore washer and dryers. I like how well the energy bills are. I have not had to make any repairs. The washer does not eat any of my socks, and I have not had to use any laundry bags for stockings or socks. Kenmore is customer friendly and always has options that meet the needs of the customer. I would highly recommend the load sensing washer, as it takes all the worry out of overloading the washer.
I have a Kenmore front load washer. It's about 10-15 years old now and has been a great washer. I had a service man come out one time when the inside rubber gasket tore, otherwise I've had no problems with it over the years. It has been very reliable. I leave the door open when I take the clothes out, even though I've never had moldy smell in my clothes. I usually wipe out the gasket (around the door) every so often, but not that often. The front paint ended up bubbling from spilled detergents over the years, but that's simply cosmetic. Those front panels are replaceable, but it doesn't bother me that much. I never thought this washer would be so good and last so long. Thanks Sears for a good quality appliance.
Do not. I repeat do not buy this appliance. I purchased a stackable Kenmore washer and dryer FIVE MONTHS ago from Sears and it has broken down TWICE! I have been without a W&D for nearly a month and all I get from Sears is a shoddy product and poor customer service. And delay, delay, delay. Go to Lowes or the guy on the corner. I am sure you will get a better quality product and customer care.
No agitator; it’s water saver; therefore, clothes come out looking dingy and spotted. The dryer has never worked on the “hot” cycle. I have to do 2 cycles to have the clothes coming out of the dryer looking “dry”.
They are pretty good, not the best but a decent price. They last a while. They are durable and get the job done. Kenmore is simple and easy to use. Kenmore washer and dryers are definitely better than Maytag. They are up to date and have some good features.
Had this basic washer and dryer almost 30 yrs, have done many things that should not be done to a machine, overloading, washing everything in the house more times than I can count, and they just keep on working.... My mechanical engineer father told me, the less things there are to go wrong, the less they will go wrong. I dont want some fancy annoying beeping machine, all it really needs to do is wash and dry. Wish more manufacturers made reliable products that last at least a generation!
I have both a washer and dryer. They are amazing and work so much faster than my old ones. The dryer takes less as much time and my consumers bill has gone down. Which is awesome!! I got them about a year ago on sales at Lowes here in Jackson, MI. Everyone there was really helpful on helping find what I needed. Since I have 3 children--2 girls and a boy I wanted something that we gonna hold a lot of clothes. My girls go through so many clothes and are constantly changing it seems like I always have dirty laundry!!
