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.

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
I have always trusted Kenmore appliances. They last, durable and do their job! I will continue to purchase Kenmore appliances in the future. I currently own a washer and dryer and cant wait to own a home so that I can buy all new Kenmore appliances!
Can I put a negative star above? I purchased Kenmore elite washer and dryers on 11/06. I had nothing but problems for five years from the main circuit board on washer, with codes that even Sears phone tech couldnt even identify. I replaced two water pumps on the washer from coins getting into the pump. Now, the dryer continues to beep when running. It will even flash times when it is not even being used. I have to unplug the dryer when we arent using it so it wont keep beeping. I will never buy another washer or dryer from Sears again. The old style washer and dryers are by far better and more long lasting than these two.
Very efficient drying clothes no matter how much clothes are inside. Lint was easy to remove after drying clothes also. It also had plenty of space for clothes. Very durable, never had heating element go out or any other issues. I had a warranty on the dryer but never had to use it. I think it was very good at drying clothes. Dryer was white in color and front loading for adding clothes to it. It has a see through door which you can watch your clothes dry. It has also a metal frame For the price of the dryer I feel it has had great value and last a very long time. I feel its a great dryer with nice features for anyone to use.
This dryer dries clothes very fast. When compared to previous dryers I had this one is by far the best. I would recommend this dryer to family and friends. Since this dryer never broke and I have had it for at least 3 years, I can surely say that this washer or dryer is very reliable and durable, as far as I can tell. Appearance is something I take in consideration when choosing an appliance and I say that this washer or dryer looks nice in my apartment. Very modern. Even though this is a very good washer or dryer, the price is not so competitive. It is usually a little more expensive than its competitors but I would still go for it again.
A few years ago we purchased a washer and dryer (front -load) for condo living from Sears. Fortunately, before the warranty had expired (1 year) the dryer stopped working and it was replaced. Not pleased with the situation but it happens. At the time of purchase we opted for warranty on both the items but as time passed the cost of the warranty kept increasing and it was decided that we should discontinue the warranty as it was becoming very costly. Not long after the decision was made the washer stopped working. It was not within our budget to replace these costly items and thus I had no other choice but to use public laundry (not hygienic) - therefore we never purchase Kenmore products again! Given the inconvenience that I and my family have had to go through I feel that I should be compensated for this?!
Kenmore HE Washer, Model 110.21302013, cost on sale $449.95. Purchased this washer, along with the matching dryer on 3/29/2013. Did not take out an extended warranty. Now on 10/23/2014 the washer has quit spinning. I have tried everything to no avail. It sounds like the transmission will not kick in or maybe the actuator is not working to kick it in. I am sitting here now trying to decide if I should spend any money on it or just haul it to the dump and buy some other brand. It wont be Whirlpool as I know they make the Kenmore brand.
Nothing beats a Kenmore for durability and reliability. I got my dryer over 17 years ago, and have not needed one single service call on it. It may not be quite as efficient as it once was, but what is? When I put my clothes in and press the shart button, I know without a doubt that it will start and run. I never have to worry that this is the day for it to break down. Also, it has a good appearance. Finally, considering what I originally paid for it and how long Ive had it, Id say its been an amazing value. I can only hope all my appliances would last this long.
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 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.
The washer washed very well and was quiet. The dryer dries very well. I could dry large load in less than 30 minute. The washer is large enough too to wash what would normally be one and a half loads. I never had issues with either my washer or dryer. I have 3 teenagers who use the appliances also, and they pack it full but it also still work awesome. My washer is the common top fill and my dryer normal front fill. I do like that they are a little larger than the old school ones. The knob are easy to understand and push. I really paid a lot more than I would have if I bought it from Home Depot or Lowes. I bought it from rent a center but I appreciate them financing me so I guess it was economical.
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.
Kenmore washers are good at getting most pretreated stains, such as dog paw dirt and organic stuff. Kenmore dryers are superior and get my clothes dry in half the time of my old Maytag! I even had a Filter Queen that I loved but Kenmore beats that all to pieces. Kenmore always has been reliable and I imagine they will remain that way.
Its great. Easy to use. Clean my clothes very good and the dryer is also great. Dry fast and very Energy efficient. Great price. Save a lot of space in my laundry room. Very reliable. Its never once not work for me. I love it and it very dependable. Looks great in my house. Match my other Appliances. Nice white colors. Wouldnt trade it for nothing. I think its a great value because its not too expensive. It was in my budget. Im on a fixed income and was able to afford it.
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.
Love my washer and dryer. Works great for my husbands dirty work clothes and all my daughters clothes that she gets dirty. Also love the large load for blankets and towels have plenty of room.
I put Kenmore appliances up there with Maytag and Whirlpool, but usually for a better price and they have good sales often too. I had my Kenmore heavy duty washer for 11 years and the dryer lasted 13 years. Exceptional.
We purchased Kenmore 600s series W&D March 2016. This is the most inefficient large product I ever purchased. Where do I begin. The first thing I did was change my mindset about how a High Efficiency washer operates. I got rid of the old way of thinking with the beloved Kenmore washers & dryers of years ago. Well, there is no comparison. The first problem was low water level and white streaks on dark clothing. I switched from powder detergent to liquid and that fixed the streaking issue. Now, as for water level. My first reaction was, why such a huge tub if it really cannot be used? I used deep fill on occasion and I noticed the rinse cycle repeated itself 3 times before I realized what was happening. No more. I had to manipulate the controls to end that nonsense. The water levels were inconsistent even with same chosen options. I wont mention all the variations but this is what I found works best: I use the Delicates cycle w/ normal Soil. Unfortunately it doesnt spin well so I then use Rinse & Spin option but eliminate two rinses. Ugh! I hate this BS. Dont like that I cant lift the lid while its filling. My friend has the same series and hates it! I heard these have a 10 yr lifespan. I cant wait for mine to kick! Never again... Buh Bye... Kenmore.
At first it was the problem but I have a contract and I am very pleased with it and its repairs. Great refrigerator. Would not trade it very the world for any other brand. What can one say about a refrigerator except it gets the job done that it is designed to do. I am satisfied with it and would recommend it to anyone who asks me. It was terrible the first years but it has gotten better over the years. I have learned how to keep it free from lint etc. It has given me great service.
I dont know where to start. I guess at the beginning. I purchased this washer and matching dryer (Kenmore Elite Quad Action Model 31633) for my new home. I have always had Kenmore products and had a newer gas Kenmore but did not have gas at my new home. I knew when I went looking for a new product I had to have Kenmore for its quality and reliability. I picked this pair due to a special offer that the warranty would have a 2 year extension in addition to the 1 year manufacturers warranty at the time of purchase. I purchased these in store and the salesman had never heard of such a thing. He was able to pull up the offer on their website and had to show it to his manager as well. When I never received any confirmation of this warranty extension. I continued to call both the store as well as customer service. The salesman remembered me and said he would have his manager contact me. This never happened after multiple attempts.Fast forward to the manufacturers warranty. This new washer was destroying all the new towels purchased for my new home. Though some were cheaper and purchased on sale, many were expensive towels that now had threads pulled from them everywhere thus rendering them unattractive for display and are now only available for personal use and unacceptable for company. Technicians were sent out unable to determine the cause other than a possible design flaw with the large gap between the wash drum and wash plate thus allowing items to be sucked in. This is unacceptable. I also was able to find out these appliances are not even made by Kenmore as they have not made washers and dryers for years but manufactured by Whirlpool with the Kenmore name affixed. The technician provided me with a business card that provided a phone number for their Customer Solutions Department who proceeded to advise me that the technician would have to escalate the problem to his Technical Manager. This along with documentation and 7-8 service calls for the same unresolved problem would be required to consider replacement! Seriously? The amount of cost, time, and frustration not only for the consumer but the technicians as well after 7-8 service calls would have paid for the replacement.I now am having the drum and wash plate replaced still not knowing if this is going to resolve the problem and nearing the end of my warranty. In addition, all the Customer Solutions Department was willing to do was reimburse me a total of $55 dollars for the damage to my towels. This would not even cover two of the bath sheets. Bottom line, no longer rely on your prior confidence in Sears Kenmore products. They are just charging more for them now to put their name on someone elses product!
Ive always owned Kenmore but this is my best washer thus far. The clothes come out so clean. My favorite is the sanitize cycle. Great when you have animals and kids. Holds a lot more than I realized. It really gets clothes clean and fresh every time. Dog wet on my bedspread. Was so upset was going to just throw it away. Decided to wash. Couldnt believe one, no smell but spin cycle dried so good. Was safe on low in dryer for less than 20 min. Love display front. Modern with the option to lock the door or stop to throw in something I forgot. Easy to clean with a quick wipe down. The front load detergent tray is easy to use and take out. Wasnt sure at first on cost compared to other washers. Was afraid to spend that much. Thought I needed bigger capacity. So glad I bought. Perfect for the price. Huge clean loads.
We have this dryer and have had great experience with it! It always dries our clothes on the first cycle. I dont have to keep drying them after the cycle is complete. I like all of the different settings as well. It has always dried my clothes well. It also is able to fit my king size comforter in it! I am happy that I dont have to take it to the laundromat! I love the small buttons on the top and the knob is easy to use. I love the simplicity and the clean look of it. The glass doesnt show fingerprints much which I also like. I like this dryer and feel like it is worth what I paid! I think it is important to get good value out of something especially in a high priced item like a dryer.
I cannot do a large load in my Kenmore washing machine and the dryer has to be started twice to dry clothes. If a pillow is in the washing machine I have to spin it twice to drain the water.
Always worked good. Had no problems with it. Easy to work with. Kids could do it too, easy instructions. It had a warranty. We are a big family. It tell me when its done. We use it almost everyday. Dries good, never had to do loads twice in dryer. Looks good, easy to move around, good color on it. Nice people to deal with. We will buy another one someday. We got a good deal on it, was on sale. Nice salesman, good delivery.
Kenmore appliances have always stood for quality, from washers and dryers to refrigerators. I am particularly impressed with the inclusion of frequently used features and the exclusion of fluff or useless ones. I would recommend a Kenmore to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality, well-featured appliance.
The dryer works awesome. Clothes get dried really fast. Easy to run. Doesnt cost much to run. Looks great. I have it in my main floor bathroom. Not like the older days when you kept ugly washer and dryers down in the cellar so you didnt have to look at them. Dryer was very reliable. I used to set the timer and the clothes would be dry faster than most other dryers I have owned in the past. Also love all the settings on the dryer. Never have to guess on the time you need. Love the appearance of this dryer. I couldnt believe the price I got the set for. I havent seen anything come even close to the price I paid for my set. I shopped all over trying to find something even close to this set and everything I found were at least double the price.
My washers performance really amazed me. Best result clean feel. Never thought a washer could do that. Washer had great settings for every load and did what I wanted. My dryer worked and dried quick and easy to use. Never had to run clothes through more than once unlike my old one. The appearance of the washer and dryer are amazing. I loved the glass look as it gave it an extra sophisticated look. Comfort of seeing your clothes become clean. The value for the pair at first I thought was a bit much, but then after using them and becoming familiar with them, I understood why they were priced that much.
My washer and dryer work great. I do many large loads and they hold up to the wear and tear like champs. They have never let me down and I expect them to keep going for years. I have never had a single issue with either my washer or dryer. They run consistently and perform with the efficiency that I expect. I have a top load washer and a front load dryer. The controls are easy to use. The white finish is easy to maintain and has been looking good for their constant and heavy use. I bought my washer and dryer during a Black Friday sale and couldnt be happier with the price I paid. They are energy-efficient and continue to prove cost-effective with the money I save in utility costs.
It only lasted us about a year and quit on us. It should work longer than that. What a rip-off. I had a refrigerator from Hotpoint that lasted me 14 years. Why cant a dryer last that long? It was a simple washing machine. It did not have all the digital stuff on it, which is the way I like them. I dont like all of those digital stuff on it. That makes it complicated. Not a very good value if you pay all that money and it only works a year. I would expect a digital one to break easier but this was one of the simple ones with just knobs on it. It should not have stopped when it did.
This dryer had a large enough drum to hold large loads. Consistently dries clothes very well considering the size of loads. Very simple to use and at a good price. Very good machine. Installs simply. Have had no problems the entire life of the machine. Never had It break down and have any issues. Very reliable. I bought this dryer in a traditional white color, Standard color and thats what I prefer over a color or stainless steel. Looks very up to date, stylish and still be simple. This brand and style of appliance is a very good value. One of the best prices in its category. Others you pay a lot for the brand name. On this you pay for the performance.
Very good reliable washer, not much noise while running. Would highly recommend to friends and family looking to purchase a washer or dryer especially of this quality. Extremely reliable, never gives me problems, has more than enough room for everything I need to wash including jeans and heavy quilts and linens. Great appearance, sleek, slim, and fits nicely in my kitchen. Really like the nozzles, easy to read and easy to use even if youre unfamiliar with a washer. Decent price, great value for those that are on a budget or looking to save on electricity. I noticed reduction in my bill in comparison to old washer of similar size.
I have the set and the washer is fantastic. A part went out years ago and replaced it with no issues since. The dryer has had the thermostat and heating element changed and now something else has gone out and it will not run. But it ran great when it did. Other than my washer and dryer being clean in appearance, the overall shape, size and construct doesnt phase me and looks pretty consistent from one brands product to the other. I received mine as a gift from my mother, so in terms of value from the standpoint that it was a gift, the washer and dryer are badass.
The product dries everything very well. It has enough categories to cover all different types of clothes and fabrics. I have never had any problems drying blankets or loads of towels, let alone standard loads of clothes. It is very easy to use, just pick your setting and push the button. The sensors know how long your load needs and will set the timer accordingly. It also has a classic appearance that fits in with any laundry room. While the controls are modern, the body remains fully classical and never grows old. Also, it doesnt use that much electricity and will chime when the load is done. It does its job every time without fail. What more could you ask for in a dryer?
Kenmore Front Loading washer and dryer, 7 years. Like the front loading and water/electricity efficiency. The dryer is humidity intolerant according to the service department. Control boards have been replaced twice since we bought it. Having to repair a brand new dryer is not something that we expected. Will not purchase from Kenmore again. The control boards are NOT cheap. The feature list for the washer and dryer are long. Many different cycles for both the washer and dryer and the washer has custom cycles. The dryer is not as efficient as it should be and sometimes takes multiple cycles to dry items such as jeans and blankets. This does not however make up for the multiple repairs on the dryer within the first 2 years of ownership.
Kenmore is a great dryer and they are the best appliances out there. I like all of the features of them and I would recommend them and I’d buy them whenever I could.
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.
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.
Dryer was formerly owned. Was used previously for over 5 years and I have used it 4 plus years without any issues. Just clean lint trap after each use, occasionally vacuum lint from under lint trap and you are good to go.
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.
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.
Had them for 18 to 20 years and only 1 minor problem between both washer and dryer. I do 4 to 5 loads a week. The washer has no surface rust even though it is located in a somewhat, sometimes damp basement.
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.
I was raised with a Kenmore washer and dryer, always in our home. My mom and dad started the tradition from my youth. When I got married, I got a Kenmore washer and dryer Of course with the changes within the Sears family, the service has changed but the quality remains. At one time my husband and I found a deal on a GE washer and dryer, it wound up being the worst purchase we ever made. I plan to stick with Kenmore.
I have had Kenmore as my preferred dryer for many years. These appliances do a great job of drying clothes. I would recommend this brand as I have been very happy with their performance and price. Kenmore appliances can usually be seen on sale during any holiday and the savings is great. This is the best value of all brands around. These dryers last many years. I have never had a warranty and I never have any problems until I have had them for at least 8 years. Also, they are nice dryers. I like the look of these appliances. The buttons are sturdy and not cheap at all. They are usually white and are very appealing.
I loved the washer. It was a front loader. We have had it for over 10 years. Does a very good job of washing the laundry. It is very quick at washing the clothes and very quiet. Could not even tell if it was on and running, thats how quiet it is. Also has many settings on the washer but I only need a few like delicate and normal. Now the dryer you can tell it is on as you hear the cloth tumble inside but still it is a great dryer. It does its job good and we are happy with both the washer and dryer.
I have had my washer and dryer for about 18 years and knock on wood it has never give me any problems. It take a licking and keeps on kicking. I would recommend them to anyone. Mine are getting old and outdated but still does the job and I would buy that brand again. The appearance is not very pretty anymore, but they are in a washroom so that does not matter. What matters is that they are still after all these years still functional. I cant remember what I paid for the set 19 years ago but it was worth whatever it was. They have seen to my need and I do about 4 loads a week every week.
I have had Kenmore washer & dryer for many years. I love them, because they last for many years. They are worry free. I would recommend them to everyone. My first set was given to me by my wifes aunt. We keep that set for many years with great service.
I buy exclusively Kenmore for all my kitchen and vacuum needs, they run good and I even have a 30 year old washer and dryer still working. I love Kenmore products and this frig is perfect, cools very well and its big enough for my family size. I love the lower vegetable bins. I line them with white garbage bags so when they get dirty I change the bag. But when its running the motor is somewhat louder than I would like since our kitchen is one room with living room and I have to turn up the TV to hear it.
The only brand that lasts. It has a better cleaning rotation and it rings out the clothes for faster drying. The only brand I want to clean my clothes. Not a favorite chore doing laundry... but a good machine makes it better! The only washer drum that I can fit a king size comforter in... I really disliked taking those to the laundromat. In the old days I had to drive to the next town over... but now I can stay at home and wash them. It is a nice sparkling white color. I like its appearance. It looks good side by side with the dryer. I am completely happy with the appearance. The value is you no longer have to drag clothes to the laundromat with your detergent and fabric softener and hunt up quarters and drag it back home. You save time and gas money... Very valuable!
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
It works very well and dries the clothing. It leaves my clothing fluffed, not wrinkled, and is very quiet. I have never had to get it repaired. It works efficiently. It does not generate much lint either. I like the sleekness and color of the dryer. I like the buttons on the dryer too. It is easy to operate. It fits well in the laundry room too. It opens well and fits many clothes in it. It is a good value for the money. It does not need to be repaired. It cuts down on my electric bills too.
I have owned my washer and dryer set for 3 years now and love it. My parents have owned Kenmore products since I can remember. When me and my husband bought our first home, of course all our appliances had to be Kenmore. My parents trust Kenmore and so do I.
I hate my Sears Kenmore Elite Washer and Dryer.The washer constantly goes off balance - even with small loads of two pairs of jeans and a polo shirt. I spread the clothes out at the beginning of a wash. On average, I have to stop the washer 2-3 times per load as it throws an error code because it is off balance. It finally broke down and decided to call Sears to schedule an appointment to have it looked at and repair it. The dryer also will not stop even if the clothes are brittle dry as it can only be set at 40 minutes. The representative asked if I also wanted that looked at. Obviously, I said, Yes. The appointment I maid was to be this Monday at 1pm - 5pm. I checked my email and one is at 8am - 12pm and the other is 1pm - 5pm. I am not sitting around all day waiting on Sears! I called to have both fixed between 1pm - 5pm. The representative said they cannot move the one to the afternoon. I asked for a supervisor but never got one even after calling back and waiting for more than 10 minutes listening to music.Boy wish I was strong enough to haul these back to Sears and leave them at their store. I only selected 1 star because there was no lesser option.
This washer and dryer pair got plenty of use by my two kids, my mother, and myself! Im not sure how long they normally last, but they got a lot of use! They were heavily used, I would say daily for about 12 years. They were very dependable. Actually I could have fixed them, but I wanted a new set. I only used water to wipe them off, but they always maintained a new look. I would suggest this brand to anyone with a large family. They were a good looking pair! It definitely was a good value. I looked around at other brands and I think I got more features on mine than others offered for the same price.
The washer was awesome. It was large enough to hold my blankets and bigger items where I didnt have to drag them to the laundromat anymore and got them cleaner than any other washer that I had ever owned. It wrung them out twice as good as any other machine I had owned so it meant less drying time. The washer was extremely dependable, reliable the whole time I owned it. It never let me down. It always got my clothes thoroughly and always wrung them out to the max. It was very elegant, very easy to keep clean and the overall appearance was sweet. They had a selection of colors so I could coordinate it so it didnt look tacky in my house. It was an exceptional value. I got both the washer and dryer for $2,000.00 with a 2-year warranty, which included delivery and set up.
I probably paid more than I should have for the washer & dryer. We have relatives who bought LG washer & dryer similar to our Kenmore that cost about $500.00 less. We bought Kenmore because I thought if we ever needed parts or service we wouldnt have any problems getting them.
Long lasting dryer that completed dried load in one cycle. Easy to use and minimal upkeep. Would recommend to anyone as a starter dryer. Also owned the corresponding top load washer. Large enough capacity for towels, clothes, etc. Basic white dryer. Nothing too fancy or out of the ordinary. Simplistic. All in all a great value. Low cost and low maintenance, reasonable energy usage.
Complete satisfaction with both. I love the washer and dryer. Also have a freezer which I am very Happy with. I find the quality and endurance to be consistent with Sears products. I would be proud to purchase other Kenmore products.
Dries clothes fairly quickly and wrinkle guard actually helps avoid ironing. Machine has been long lasting doing many, many loads per week. In the many years I have had this dryer, it has never required maintenance, which is a total relief. I consider that to be very reliable and would consider another Kenmore when this one stops working for me. This dryer is nothing fancy in terms of appearance, but with it being in the basement I care more about how it works than how it looks. Function is much more important to me. Probably spent between $300-400, has lasted many years without needing maintenance of any kind. Nothing fancy compared to whats out there now, but feel I have gotten more than my moneys worth.
I loved my Kenmore Elite washer at first, but started having problems within the first year. It got out of balance and my once whisper quiet washer became much louder. Then, it started smelling sour - even when I started leaving the door open after washes so it would dry out. Now, its filling up with water between washes and I have to spin and drain each time before using it to empty out the water. Also, most times, the clothes are too damp after the wash cycle and then take too long to dry. They used to be practically dry before I put them in the dryer. To be fair, Ive probably had this washer for 6 or so years, but Ive gotten less and less happy as each year goes by.
Sleek but simple look. Balanced placement of the knobs and buttons. Doesnt look too techy or expensive and the white color fits in with whatever walls or floors you may have. This washer/dryer is a good balance between simple to use but has enough customizable settings. Does exactly what I want it to without unnecessary bells and whistles. Also, easy to set and the clothes come out looking and smelling clean. Does the right job every time and not once have we experienced a glitch or hiccup. We got our washer dryer for an exceptional price. They have been worth what we paid, performing exactly how we would hope. No problems, no delays or interruptions.
Does what it says it will do, gets the clothes clean and doesnt require special detergent. Did not need any repairs. Will take a large enough load to wash what I need it to wash. I have a family of 4 and typically do 3 loads of laundry a week. It will comfortably accommodate a full-size comforter. Classic styling in white. Washer and dryer match, but if I needed to replace one or the other, I wouldnt have to buy them both again. Easy to clean surfaces. Price paid for this washer and dryer is a fair price based on what it does and what I need it to do. You can buy more expensive models that have advanced features for more money. This one is pretty basic.
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.
Very easy to use, easy to keep clean, works very well. The washer almost 15 years and it went through two families. And even a few children showing up from college to do their laundry, so I am very pleased with these product, and the next one I bought was the same product also. I own a washer and a dryer for years, I had very little repair done to either one of them, then I needed repair. They came out very quickly, done a very nice and fast job, clean up any messes that they did, made sure the machine was up and running right before the repair man left which I always really like, cause a lot just say it is fixed and leave, so I will always be please with this product. I have always thought that this product was a good looking, even though it was in my basement and really no one ever seen it unless they did laundry, but I feel if the machine set out where anyone could see it I would be proud of the machine, cause it is a nice looking machine. These machine I found when I had to buy a new one was the best value around. And of course they were one only ones I really looked at because they are a well working machine and (if) it broke down, it wasnt a problem to find someone to fix anything that was wrong, and usually it could be fixed which I like a lot.
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 have had this machine for 3 years now and hate it every time I do laundry. The only function I can use is the timed dry. When I use the other functions, the machine doesnt dry the clothes or takes all day to dry one load. I called a technician to come and look over my dryer. This technician told me that the dry clothes are coming in contact with the sensor inside the machine next to the lint holder and left. I started putting smaller loads in the dryer and did not help. So I tried the timed dry to see if this would work and it does. But why spend money on a machine if you can only use one function? Useless is what I tell ya.
I started using this machine Oct 23, 2018 (the date we moved into our newly built home). We purchased an entire home full of appliances including the water softener from Sears. The washer worked ok for about 3 mos before I started calling service. Its still under the 1 yr warranty and I purchased the 3 yrs warranty too. At first they help you over the phone, too much deter, not HE, not the right kind of deter, too much fabric softener, cant use fabric softener, clean it with bleach, clean with vinegar, clean with A-Fresh, your water is too hard, its because you have a water softener, etc, etc! So far they have been here 6 times and their computer says, It is functioning fine and therefore there is nothing wrong with the machine. I ask, So I cant EXPECT to have clean clothes from a new wash machine? The store salesperson says, The tech makes the decision. The tech says, The machine is working fine, and refuses to take it apart to show me there is no stagnant, grimy water sitting in the bottom. This machine makes clothes 10x dirtier than before they went into it. Dont bother talking to corporate escalation dept (877-878-3687). They are well trained in giving you the runaround. One tech named Kyle is actually trying to solve this mystery of the lint-like, slimy, powdery, residue that gets onto (and is very difficult to get off) my clothes. I honestly dont recommend this washer or any other appliance that you may have to deal with Sears. Why cant people/businesses stand behind their products anymore? I bought this machine because in 2008 I purchased a Maytag Bravo that I thought was just like this one. I am told that the old motor was well built and that the government puts such high regulations on the HE washer that its not enough water to actually clean the clothes. If companies know this then why on earth are you selling this machine under the expectation that you will get clean clothes!? Id give the machine a negative 10 and the service department 1 out of 5. Id love for a manager or store owner to call me. Ive left messages on answering machines that say, We will call you back by the end of the day, and they NEVER call you back. I purchased mine in Mishawaka IN but the people Ive talked to on the 800 numbers are not from around this area.
This Sears Dryer has all the features that you could want. It features automatic controls and unique drying cycles. Works just great on small or single loads and has a very quiet operation. This Clothes Dryer can fulfill all your drying needs, whether you are drying baby clothes or your partners work clothes. This dryer has the heat settings to handle any drying job you are faced with. This Sears Kenmore Dryer is just great looking, very modern and even futuristic. Its design is easy to load and unload, a real beauty. The dryer has a large front loading capacity with a viewing window so you can see the progress of you clothes inside. This Kenmore Dryer is a great value for the money paid. With all the features that is offered the Kenmore will pay for itself by drying your clothes in a quick way.
Have not had a Kenmore washer/dryer for more than 20 years. Kenmore was always dependable, and I liked what I had.
My Kenmore Calypso is 14 years old. No work EVER done on it. If it broke down tomorrow I cannot complain. My appliance repairman came out to work on my ice maker and he said I must be the only pet on planet Earth that has not had a problem with that washer but again no problems. My dryer is a Whirlpool with knobs. No electronics, it is 10 years old electric dryer. No problems ever.
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.
The Kenmore brand has been a good brand for me. Ive had my washer and dryer for over 10 years and have only had to make a service call one time under warranty. Since the warranty has been up, I have not had to make any service calls. The only thing that has bothered me is the odor which smells like mildew coming from the washer after the lid has been closed for a while. I solved this odor problem by sprinkling baking soda over the bottom of the washer tub. The clothing that gets washed in the machine does not smell like mildew. My parents had Kenmore appliances for years. They owned their own home so it was possible for them to buy appliances as they were needed. As a renter, I have to abide by landlord rules and get permission for the purchase of some appliances. It wasnt until I moved here early in the 2000s that I even had a washer and dryer hookup in a rental unit. Since my parents had good luck with Kenmore appliances, I decided that my washer and dryer would be Kenmore.
We bought a Kenmore Connect washer and dryer almost 2 years ago. The washing machine is pure awful. Stains remain, odors continue even after washing. I would absolutely not advise this washing machine. Ive cleaned the drain compartment and the machine more often than recommended. These dirty clothes continue to come out of this waste of money washing machine. Ive tried different HE formulated detergents. No effect. Ive used the prewash and extra rinse cycles with the heavy duty cycle with no improvement. The flip-flop motion used to clean the clothes is a waste of electricity, water and the 2, yes, two-hour cycle. Weve replaced this useless washing machine with a Speed Queen washer. 25 minute long heavy duty cycle pumps out the truly clean clothes. Please do not waste your money on a Kenmore Connect, unless of course you like stains and stink on your clean clothes.
When I wash my sheets and pillow cases I end up with brown feather-like marks on them. This has happened on brand new sheets. Ive attached a picture so you can see what I mean. The sheets arent ripped but these marks keep appearing - not sure if its the washer or dryer that causes this. I have Kenmore Elite machines purchased in 1999. These marks dont appear on my clothes. They appear on all different brands of sheets.
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.
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.
Both worked fine for over 10 years. The most that I had to spend for repairs was a $5.00 V Belt for the washing machine. As far as the dryer is concerned I never had to repair anything once I plugged it in.
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?
I had a good experience with my Kenmore appliance. It worked well and most importantly lasted for 6 years. I did not have to have it serviced at any point during that time. I replaced it because I wanted a front loaded washing machine and dryer.
The washer is very easy to use and it gets the job done in very less time than most. Clothes come out clean and fresh. The dryer dries the clothes in dry if you dont overload it. Clothes do not shrink. The washer is a nice size. My large loads would compare to 15 pair of heavy jeans of a size 14 (women). The dryer just the same for it, but I think you can fit a little more in it. Mine isnt very fancy but I had for a very long time now and it gets everything clean. Like I said it easy to use. It is spacey. It white and grey inside. So the price of mine was low because it was on sale. Now I think it at its regular price now, which isnt a lot, depending on where you get it. So the value of mine is min, just because its been used.
I have had several Kenmore devices and they always long lasting and reliable. Both my washer and dryer lasted for over 15 years with little repairs. The washer cleaned my clothes great and was still working when I replaced with a front loader and new dryer. The pair I have now is great. Purchased in 1999 and they are working great. Ive had a freezer since the 1980s and it is still going strong.
The machines are very reliable and works well. We have had this model for a long time and we have had no problems with it. Everything has continued to work. Many clothes can fit into these machines, and all of the clothes get cleaned and stay nice. The machines are reliable and easy to use, and keep the high quality of the clothes intact. The washer and dryer both look sleek, modern, and dont take up too much room. They fit well in our basement, are quiet, and are reliable and useful. We got the washer and dryers for a great deal. For their price, they work unbelievably well and show very minimal signs of wear and tear, but the functionality of them are still perfect and great.
The Elite series washer and dryer set are priced pretty high however I am in an area without many choices. The machines operations are good however it is difficult to read the selections to choose from for setting the mode. I would recommend this pair.
We purchased the Kenmore Elite washer (and dryer) at the Leesburg, FL store location prior to moving from Leesburg to Crossville, TN. in 2006. It was delivered to our TN address (**) from the Cookville, TN. Sears store. Not long after, I wrote a letter to Sears regarding a problem with it becoming (seriously) unbalanced during the wash cycle. I sent pictures of a wash load whereby a single item so completely covered the remaining items that it looked like a giant mushroom. The response - use the correct wash cycle!!! Hello-I was not born yesterday & have been using washing machine for years. It is now 2014, we are back in Florida, same washer & it is worse than ever!!! I literally have to unbalance almost EVERY load, regardless what I am washing.Today it was four very lightweight shirts, two bras & a couple pair of undies...on the delicate/had wash cycle & I had to manually unbalance the load no less than EIGHT times. Please advise if I have ANY recourse. I had no idea this was such a widespread problem. We NEVER received a notice or letter from Sears on the matter (other than telling me how to wash clothes when I did complain!). Thank you.
I love this dryer and all the different settings it has. I have had it for about a year and I am completely satisfied with its performance. Whether I am drying heavy duty clothing such as jeans or sweatshirts, the performance is right on. Lightweight items such as delicate blouse also get the same treatment. I love the appearance of my Kenmore dryer. It is piggy backed with a front loading Kenmore washing machine and they make an impressive looking team. You cannot beat the prices of Kenmore products. The value is incredibly good as they are hard working and durable appliances. I would definitely recommend this product.
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.
Reliable. I have had a Kenmore for over 40 years. When I want to replace my washer/dryer I go to Sears first because I know I will get the top rated products. They have good selection of washer/dryers, their service people are knowledgeable, and I know I am getting a good product.
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.
We have never had any issues with our Kenmore refrigerator or our washer and dryer. Their products are very reliable. Technical support is always available and the products last a very long time. It fits everything that we need it to and space is never an issue. I have 3 kids so were always stocked up on food which is fresh and frozen. It looks very modern. Their products are always of a modern look and style. They definitely keep up with the times. The value is always more than worth it. The products hold up over time and I would match them up against any other on the market from fancy to run of the mill.
For 35 years I have purchased Kenmore washers/dryers for 3 households and have been very satisfied. Last week I bought Kenmore model 23102 washer and am very dissatisfied. 1. Warm water is COLD. Cold water is cold as it should be; hot water is hot as it should be. 2. Water fills EXCRUCIATINGLY SLOW. 3. One day after delivery I called for service; was told had to wait 4 days. Why would Sears not prioritize immediate service on a new delivery? So I waited 4 days, then waited 3 hours (taking off work) for technician to come. First he doesnt know where to look on the machine for the serial and model number. Then he finds it and starts to diagnose the washer. He immediately tells me this model WILL NOT FILL ANY FASTER-this is how it is designed, and that the WARM setting is just as it is. I say my other Kenmore that was just replaced gave WARM water that was warmer than cold and not as hot as hot. He tells me this model does not work that way. Essentially hes saying THERE IS NO WARM WATER TEMPERATURE. He says it works on a thermostat vs. older models mixed cold and hot water. He goes to his truck and comes back with a thermometer of some kind. He tests the warm water, then drops it in the water which killed it, so he couldnt actually verify the difference between the temperatures, but BOTTOM LINE HE SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO GET WARM WATER. Then he says this IS the warm setting in Florida, which is nonsense, because WARM on the previous washer and 2 other washers I have access to in friends homes, give WARM water. I AM VERY UNHAPPY AND CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS MACHINE OR SEARS.
Easy to use and efficient. Dries clothes effectively and is cost efficient. Great product. I would recommend buying this dryer to anyone in need of a good quality product. Cut on every time I need it and always dries clothes in a reasonable amount of time. Can handle large loads of clothes at the time. Looks like any other dryer that I have owned. White with blue numbers. Paint has held up good and is dual vented so you can vent through the floor. Cost about the same as other dryers but seems to be more energy efficient. Electric bill is cheaper after purchasing this dryer.
My dryers performance is very good. I must say its very energetic and runs good. I love my high performance dryer. It also was on sale and I got it at a good price. My dryers reliability is very high standard. ITS A VERY GOOD PRODUCT. I LOVE IT VERY MUCH. I would always buy a high efficient dryer or washer especially if they have a good deal. My washer and dryer appearance I think is lovely. Have a set of black stainless steel dryer and washer. They can handle any size load of clothes that you have. The prices and location is good. They also have a expandable warehouse loaded with good products.
Kenmore is great. Ive known them for a long time and their products have never disappointed me. Theyre like an extended family. Both my washer and dryer are a Kenmore and I wouldnt have it any other way. Id strongly recommend.
For the price it works great, never had any problems as of yet. Im happy with its performance. My next washer and/or dryer will be the same brand. After all these years I have had this washer and dryer they have never stop working or gave me any problems. This brand is very reliable. The look of them is nothing special. Just plain white with some grey. But the look isnt the reason I bought them. I bought them for reliability. The model I have is on the cheaper end. But even though I bought it cheaply its still one of the best washers I ever have had. Its a great value.
I was not impressed with this washer. I went from using a regular washer to this and the clothes didnt come clean even on a small load. The washer barely filled with water and some of the clothes came out of the wash still having dry spots on them from where they didnt even get wet. This washer was not reliable because the clothes didnt get clean and some didnt even get wet. Not to mention that it takes over an hour to wash one load of laundry. The washer looked nice but it just didnt wash good. I sent it back after 3 days of use. The metal that the washer was made from also seemed kind of flimsy. I paid over a thousand dollars for the washer and dryer set and was very disappointed. It used very little water and didnt even cover the clothes leaving dry spots on some of the clothes from not agitating very well.
I love love love my Kenmore washing machine and dryer. I got a great deal for the set and could not have got a better deal. They work so well and are also quiet and quick. I never have to question their reliability. I always know when I go to wash and dry my family’s clothes that my washer and dryer are going to work. They fit well in their space too and I am happy with how they look in my home. These are beautiful and stylish machines anyone would be proud to have in their home. Would definitely recommend.
You have five boys who play football and let me tell you when it comes to my washer and dryer by Kenmore it cant be beat!!! My sons are all star athletics and they have to sparkle everywhere they go whether the championship playoffs in San Diego or Las Vegas they have to look their best!!! So my duty is to see that they are looking as awesome as theyre playing.
There is nothing worse than getting out of the shower and drying your face with a smelly moldy towel. Kenmore smartwash 5+ front load washer smells like mold even after cleaning with bleach solution, washing machine cleaner, and leaving the door open all the time which block the doorway and is very inconvenient. Clothes are left smelling even after rinsing twice and using dryer sheets. I have talked to a repairman. We have extended warranty with no solution to this problem. Unless you are right there to remove from washer immediately, which is ridiculous and cleaning the rubber around the door constantly is a joke. I would never have bought this product if I knew and I am very disappointed. Why hasnt this machine been recalled.
My daughter gave me her brand new Kenmore Elite Oasis washer and dryer. The appliances were reinstalled by professional tradesman who has installed hundreds of appliances. Right from the beginning the washer did not clean clothes properly. There were clumps of dirt and pints on the clothes, requiring repeated washings. The spin cycle would show unbalanced sign and stop. It did not matter if the clothes were redistributed or some or most taken out, the machine was just hung and it took most of the day to spin one load dry. I had to wring my clothes by hand on many occasions and put it in the dryer half wet. Not long after it was not spinning, it started to make clucking sounds as if someone was changing gears improperly. Then it started to leak. All over the laundry room. I cleaned all connections, replaced the hose screens, had it balanced etc. It would leak a little, but on second wash it leaked all out again. Called Sears and was told I was on my own as they did not honor any defects and warranty was past. This in my opinion is criminal. Selling defective products and doing nothing to fix the problems. Shame on you Sears! Needless to say I wont be fixing this washer, as I have also been told it is futile to do so.
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.
This is a very reliable washer! It washes clothes perfectly and cleans deep stains. Most of the other washers Ive owned, my clothes had to be washed 2-3 before I put it through the dryer. It holds most of my load! I appreciate that because I tend to do my laundry often and I need many clothes to be washed. However if its overloaded then it gets overpowered. Though its not the most appealing look, it doesnt look like complete trash. Its very suitable for an average home. However, if you are richer I would consider getting the newer titles if you want it match the rest of your decked home.
