Too many complaints over this issue of failing oven walls to support racks. We should join forces to be heard. My racks fall too oftentimes.

I purchased a Kenmore Power Miser 12 Model #153.331414HA water heater six years ago. The heater was rated as a 15 year heater. In the last six years, I have replaced the pilot light assembly three times and cleaned it countless others and for the last year I have had to manually light the pilot everyday in order to get hot water. I order a replacement pilot assembly and installed it. The replacement unit failed after two days. It was obvious to even me who is not a mechanical whiz that the thermocoupler on the pilot unit was not shielded from the open burner flames thus causing it to overheat and shut off. At the same time I purchased a gas range. The ignitors for the stove top have not worked properly since about one year after purchase. Only one burner will ignite and you have to manually light the others to cook. Also for the last two years, the oven will not heat to the proper temperature (i.e., about 200 degrees lower than the setting on the control unit). I too have experienced poor customer service from SEARS including having to pay $75 dollars for warranty repairs, customer support staff obviously located in Mumbai, India not being able to answer questions about parts or service, delays in scheduling repair times, and my wife was put on hold off and on for over four hours trying to get her questions answered and to get a repair time scheduled even though she asked repeatedly to be transferred to a supervisor. The supervisor was no greater help than the customer service representative. I have since bought a competitors brand of hot water heater because it is made in American and their customer support staff are located in the United States. I also filed a complaint with the Chicago Office of the Better Business Bureau about these appliances. SEARS has responded that their records only show one service call to them and I informed them that their records are inaccurate because there were two repair calls for the same issue. SEARS has informed the BBB that they will not reimburse me for the cost of the hot water heater or even for the cost of the replacement pilot light unit I recently purchased which failed nor have they addressed the issue with the gas range. I have asked the BBB to inquire as to how many service calls SEARS has received nationally regarding replacement of the pilot light unit on this model of hot water heater and the number or percentage of these calls which were repeat service calls to replace the pilot light unit. I also asked why I cannot be reimbursed for replacement pilot light unit I just recently purchased that failed since there should be some limited warranty of 30 or 60 days on even parts. We will see how they respond. If anyone else out there has had similar issues with either this model hot water heater or with their gas range I would like to know.

Purchased Kenmore Electric Range Model 79094182310 Nov. 2017. Within 1 yr after using Self-Clean feature which resulted in scorched area to the top of oven door on left side, I called for service. This scorched panel was replaced and I was told not to use self-clean function???! During 2018 I continued using the oven, replaced the bulb and still getting scorched/brown areas on top panel of the oven door even at temps of 425 and above. Called again and tech from Indianapolis came, checked thoroughly, called for research info about this oven, advised that the oven door seems ok but heat exhaust from oven is faulty/insufficiently constructed and there is no repair/solution. This faulty electric range should be recalled and replaced.

Controls are not confusing and are easy to understand. There are enough settings for all my needs and uses. Unit is just the right size for the over the stove use and easy to reach. It is easy to clean, the tray is a good quality glass and not too heavy.

This Kenmore model had high ratings on several websites including Consumer Reports. I did a lot of research and It was definitely the best rated refrigerator in my price range and it had received great reviews from people that already had one. Consumer Reports recommended it. I like the solid construction and that the handles were grips inside the doors instead of on the door where you feel like youll pull the door off. There were lots of drawers and room to organize everything and shelves were able to be rearranged for tall objects. Good constant temperature throughout and freezer never iced over. But Kenmore could make the freezer section larger and make just one shelf on the door. Too crowded with two and hard to fit items in there. Also, maybe add a shelf inside the main part of the freezer to separate meats from other stuff. Had an ice maker which was a nice feature but it always got stuck and was loud and could startle you out of sleep at night. Nevertheless, Kenmore was a great refrigerator and met and even exceeded my expectations. I would buy another Kenmore.

It’s a Kenmore elite. It’s a very nice range. However we have had issues with the controls. They say to replace the board. That’s very expensive. Sometimes it doesn’t help. They say replace it again.... It turned out to be a bad interface at the plug on the board. It didn’t cost anything to fix but time. Probably over a hundred hours of research that didn’t help. I just happened to have 30 years experience troubleshooting equipment and as soon as I quit looking for answers and figured it out on my own. Poor soldering. Shouldn’t Ever happen.

Have had difficulty removing door for cleaning since the purchase of the stove... Kenmore! I sure have had problems with this unit!

Weve had our oven 5 years. Its had several problems right from the beginning. The first thing that happened multiple times was on the larger bottom oven the oven racks would come off of the grooves inside the stove and on my occasion I burnt my arm. I contacted Sears several times with that concern. However I heard nothing back. The stove was no longer under warranty. I was inquiring if anyone else had been burnt because of this flaw in the oven. I have continued to have issues with the convection only working half of the time as well as the top oven burning the bottom of everything. I know its time to invest in a new oven. I just didnt think I would need to do so after only 5 years and at a cost of $1600.00.

My wall unit lasted for 13 years, but I think it overheated the circuit board when are used the Clean setting so I will definitely never use that function on any oven I own. Since then, there is an error code on the digital display and it shuts off intermittently while trying to cook or bake something.

Kemore Range Model 970503720 - My wife and I have had three brand new stoves stop working on us. The most recent stove was a Kenmore Model 970C503720 which is a convection fan. This was an upgrade from Sears from the basic model which did not have the convection. Soon after purchase on stove number one, the clock stopped which controls the oven temperature. This would not allow the oven to heat up higher that 287 degrees. We had the control board replaced but it died as well. We received a replacement stove, same problem occurred; then, we upgraded to our current stove and the same problem occurred. Sears indicated that this will be the last time they will help us because nobody else has this problem and they have suggested that if it happened again we must have a wiring problem. Nothing electronically with regard to the stove has changed in our house and before we bought these three new stoves, our previous stove ran just fine for 20 years. It is my belief that the control boards are defective. So now we are going to approach Sears for a fourth time; concerned that we will not get satisfaction. We are willing to upgrade to something that does not have this kind of control board but did chose to stay with this design to avoid having to buy new pots and pans to accommodate the newer cooking surfaces.

Purchased range on March 19/2011. April 2015 I started to self cleaning, pushed the start and the oven died. Only the stove top works. Service came to repair and charged me $96.05 and told my husband the cost to repair would be approx. $1,000.00 plus tax & plus labour. They also informed him that this happens a lot with this brand and the manuf. does not care. I checked if there was a recall but I am not good with the computer and DID not find anything. I would never buy a Kenmore again and never shop at Sears again. I am cutting my Sears card after I finish.

Kenmore double wall oven 790.49529312 only 2 years old will not maintain temp. Licensed repairman told me that Kenmore places its name on multiple makes and found it to actually be a Frigidaire product. Guy came to home replaced motherboard for $300.00. Did not fix the problem so used Sears chat to assist w/ diagnosing issue, now being told temp sensors for $132.00 for parts only, need 1 for each oven need to be replaced. Issue is oven will hold temp when empty but try to cook anything in it and it will drop to 200 degrees. Told humidity affects the way oven picks up temp readings. $2799.00 originally priced piece of garbage. Cant talk to actual person unless you can understand a thick India accent. Do not buy from Sears.

I have a dual fuel model 790.75603 oven, the oven was great for almost 8 years. Loved the dual ovens and the gas top. In Jan of this year we woke up to a beeping noise and noticed the oven was on self clean mode, couldt shut if off. My husband had to pull the oven out and unplug it. The tech came out. The oven was fine. The second time I came home and the oven was on self clean mode (that was scary) the third time we were sleeping! Reading all these reviews cant believe it hasnt been recalled! So my problem is no one makes a 40 stove anymore. If I replace it it would have to be with 36 stove and then I have a 2 gap on each side of my granite counter tops!!!! Yuhhh.

Kenmore was okay. I chose this brand and model initially because it was on sale for a great price and the HE cycle thats good for saving money and for the environment got me convinced with its added bonus. I like the different cycle choices including the HE cycle. It also was very quiet for a dishwasher. They can be quite noisy so this was a nice surprise for us. Also, it wasnt too big but seemed to fit more dishes inside than you would think it would. However, it had some strange slits were you just couldnt fit larger dishes into that seemed like they should fit. I also didnt like a couple of things like it didnt seem to clean the dishes very well on any cycle and thats with us prewashing and pre-soaking. All in all, it was alright decision due to not very much money being spent at all. If I had paid full price, I wouldve been very disappointed with this unit.

When I was growing up we always had Kenmore products because my Dad always bought the best for Mom. All their appliances, stove, fridge, washer, dryer were all Kenmore. Mom still only wants Kenmore. They were great because they lasted so long. I am 60 and Mom just replaced the Kenmore washer she had when I was about 25 or so.

We purchased our Kenmore stove Model #790.97453804 in June 2010 and until this weekend everything ran smoothly. Just as we had finished dinner the outer glass on the oven door exploded!! Glass blew out about 3 ft. all over the kitchen floor. Our grandson had just walked past the door. This could have been far worse than it was. A visit to Sears on Sunday proved futile as, you guessed it, they had not heard of this happening and didnt know this type thing could happen. Luckily I had taken pictures of everything as proof & showed them. All they did was provide phone numbers, which I called. They could only schedule a service call. I checked the internet for any recalls on this particular model and found none. So we bought another stove but it was NOT a Kenmore. No more Kenmore appliances for our family.

I purchased my refrigerator from Sears in 2009. In the first year, I experienced the inside light not turning off and melting the cover to the lights. I am well out of warranty now, and my fridge stopped making anything cold. No error codes or signals, opened my fridge and freezer to puddles of cesspool of muck. It appears as though everything is fine from the outside. Apparently I need a new condenser. I have had nothing but countless strange problems with my fridge, hindsight is 20/20 now. I would NEVER purchase another from Sears or Kenmore. Expensive pile of chrome junk, paperweight at best.

My husband and I went to Sears appliance in Clifton March 6, 2014. The salesperson was rushing to make a sale, but we insisted on asking questions like, Can the microwave be used with the rack that is inside it? He told us they sell them with the rack because it can be used with the rack. We paid $400 for the Kenmore over the range microwave oven. We even purchased the extended warranty. With both the manufacturers warranty and the extended warranty we felt safe. Well, the microwave caught on fire and when we called we got a royal run-around for 3 hours. Sears blamed the manufacturer, the manufacturer blamed Sears, then Sears blamed me for using the microwave. The consumer is now blamed for using the appliance as the sales person said it could be used. This microwave has a rack to be used when cooking. It worked well for 6 months, then it caught on fire. When we asked about the warranty and manual, it turns out that the consumer is at fault no matter what happens.My house could have caught on fire. I have a microwave oven that should not be sold because of its tendency to catch on fire or blow up. The techs used the words blow up, not me. It is a fire hazard. Sears will neither replace nor will they repair the microwave. The people at Sears dont know that Kenmore is a part of that company and that they have the same numbers. Its ridiculous. I took pictures of the charred section. I thought Sears was better than that. I guess the best suggestion is dont buy microwave ovens from Sears. I checked other reviews and they all give terrible reviews. I should have read those first.

This range has given us problems since the beginning. The racks dont slide well and can cause burning because they get stuck when trying to move them in and out. The range was almost brand new and I had to have the panel with controls replaced because it cracked, then a year later we had to have the whole cook top & burners replaced. Every time I use the self-cleaning feature, the top of the oven door gets a burn mark on it so now it is all brown making it look terrible in our new kitchen. It even melted the whole side of our microwave on the counter nearby in the self-cleaning mode. I had a tech out and he said it was safe and just to keep using it. I dont feel safe and it looks like trash. I called the resolution hotline and got a person who was from another country and I couldnt understand him so I asked for the corporate office. I was put on hold then disconnected immediately.I called right back and again, got a person I could not understand... She refused to give me the corporate number but transferred me. Now they tell me it should be safe and the burned top of the oven door is just cosmetic and they will not replace the door or the range. This is unacceptable and no consumer should have to accept having a range in their new kitchen that is brown and burned. The fact that it also melted the microwave nearby on the counter, does NOT make me feel safe in any way. The representative said I had to have 4 documented service calls for this problem and that the tech that was out to check it, stated it was safe. It is the most frustrating thing & I will not purchase any Sears products in the future, nor should you!

I absolutely hate to put down such a venerable old name as Sears and Kenmore. I bought a brand new high end refrigerator, range microwave and dishwasher from Sears 6 years ago, and they have all been falling apart ever since. Its heartbreaking as I had old appliances that I chucked out that had served me well for 30 years, but after a kitchen remodel, I wanted all shiny new stainless steel appliances. The troubles started soon after purchase, and now two of the appliances are non-functional, and the other two are limping along.REFRIGERATOR - Be sure to look over very well any refrigerator you buy. For some odd reason, this Kenmore stops the rack several inches short of the rear of the fridge. Not only cheats you out of valuable space, things are constantly dropping down in the no mans land I call the back of my fridge. The worst part is the ice maker. The ice hopper would block up constantly, and Id have to manually pull out, bust up and defrost the ice in the ice hopper and clean it out - an easy hour wasted on this task. Now the ice maker does not work at all. The ice freezes in the water supply tube, and has to be defrosted by a hair dryer, which takes forever to do. Im tired of spending hours getting this darn ice maker to work. I just put ice cube trays in the freezer now. Its very disappointing.RANGE - From the get go, the range has had a strange hum when you turn on the jets, and the oven. It scared me at first, but the salesman that sold me the range told me its common for a hum noise when you first turn on the jets, and the oven. Strange, I thought, but it doesnt stop humming - it just sounds like a kitchen range practicing yoga...hummmmmm. The oven has to be set about 50 degrees hotter than the temperature asked for, otherwise youll find a raw turkey in your oven at dinnertime on Thanksgiving, like I did. I learned to adjust for the inaccurate temperature on the range, but 50 degrees? Sheesh!MICROWAVE - The door closure foot has broken twice, and good thing I bought two of them from the Appliance Parts Bank here in H.B. I have replaced two of them myself, not wanting to pay $75.00 minimum for a repairman to come and fix it. Also very annoying. Shoddy construction - plastic parts that are not made as well as my grandsons Lego parts!WORST PROBLEM & DANGEROUS... The microwave runs when it is in OFF position. In other words, if the door is closed, the microwave runs, never shuts off, and I mean HOT! A couple of times I have used it and went in the other room to do something and came back to almost a fire in my kitchen - smoke all over and the microwave still running. It has automatically shut off a couple of times. The door has to remain open at all times and the bright light is burning 24-7. Ive got to unplug the whole machine now as I dont want my house to burn down.DISHWASHER - What a piece! I use it seldom but water does not drain out properly. THATS ALL FOLKS - Very sorry, as I bought these from Sears because Sears was paying its reserve troops who were called to combat - my sense of love for that act alone propelled me to buy these units.

Its not the best. It doesnt always get the dishes nice and clean. They dont always come out dry and I have never had a load of dishes come out without water spots on them. The size of the dishwasher is very good for the size of household that we have. We are a family of 4 and this dishwasher can hold 2 days worth of dishes in it. The appearance of this dishwasher is good. It can match into any basic kitchen that you put it in. It has a nice and clean look to the front of it. I have no clue what the retail value of this dishwasher is. Because my dishwasher was bought second hand and only cost my 25.00. I hope if I have to replace this one that the price is in a good price range.

This is the 3rd time I had sears out to fix stove. 1st glass blew out (scratched the whole inside 2nd circuit board/ and now again the circuit board. When you use self cleaning more than 3 times blows board. All in all I have been without the use of my stove about eight weeks. When you call for service and you give them error code. They come out (waiting a week or longer) without parts and you have to wait another 2 weeks for them to fix. Just wish they would credit me and let me buy another brand. This stove is only 1 year old. Very unhappy.

I would recommend my Kenmore gas stove and convection oven range. I love the temperature control and the heating element is accurate. I would like it if the storage drawer were sturdier but thats a minor issue.

My Kenmore oven has given me nothing but very good results. I use the oven several times a week using it for various items from fresh to frozen entrées. Package instructions work exceedingly well.

Whenever I bake something in the oven about 1/2 hour into the cooking process, the screen lights up with F10 and the oven beeps. The only way to stop the beeping is to turn the oven off. When I turn it on again, it beeps 10 minutes later. It is impossible to cook anything, very frustrating and not normal. The stove is approximately 5 years old.

Kenmore Elite electric range # 7909802. We have had this range for six years and today the rack in the bottom oven fell, spilling the Thanksgiving turkey all over. We have called Sears about the problem and they want $120 to have a man come out to look at the range. We are not the only ones that this has happened to doing a internet search revealed a long list of unhappy customers some have been injured because of the faulty ovens.

Defective and dangerous. Stove five years old. Walls of the oven suddenly retracted. Racks dont fit and they fall. It cannot be repaired, unless the oven is replaced at a big cost. I wont buy a Kenmore stove again, and wont recover to anybody. They are dangerous. There are a lot of people with the same complaint and Sears wont do anything about it.

I have the same range and had burning wires, sparks and popping noises from control panel on range last week. Now is unplugged and useless because it is unsafe!!! I want it out of my home and Sears to replace it for FREE!!!! It is only 3 yrs old!!! LOTS of people having the same problem!!! Sears doing NOTHING!!! It is disgusting!!!! There is a lot more info out there.

Are these just throw away stoves? Bought a house with Kenmore appliances. Lucky then we had home warranty. First the refrigerator kept freezing up, so warranty sent out Sears to fix it. It was the timer bad. Model 10657368702- 2009 model. Then the stove/oven start burning everything we baked. It was stuck on broil. Warranty company again sent out Sears, said control panel was bad. A week later same thing, Sears was sent back out, control panel, diff. service tech. Ok its working again. Keep in mind, we were starting on pies for the holidays when it chard them to a crisp. Now less than year later, its control panel again. Stuck on broil and smoke you out. Home warranty has now expired. This part is over a $100! No dreaming way. How much is this stove going to cost us in the end? Under home warranty I was paying a copay, now this. The model # is 79096018502. Its now sitting in our kitchen and useless. Gotta pay to haul this thing off now. Its not that far from new. Come on now, three control panels in less than a year at over $100 a pop. So, do we as a Kenmore customer keep buying this control panel at that $100 or would you risk buying another Kenmore and most likely have same expense happen again?

Im writing a complaint with regards to a free-standing Kenmore smooth top, self-cleaning range Model Number 970C623120. I purchased this brand new stove from Sears in September 2014 and after only a few weeks noticed the clock panel went blank and all the beeping stopped when you set the oven to bake, etc. I called and a technician came out to replace the whole panel. Not long after this the exact same thing happened and technician came out again to replace the panel. Same thing again. This time technician said that the stove was unserviceable and I received a brand new stove in February 2015. After a while same thing happened! For some reason the panel reset itself this time when I held the bake button. I tried many things because I didnt want to go through all the phone calls, service calls etc. again. I promptly wrote this down in case I needed to reset it and sure enough it did go blank but my little trick didnt work. So here we are again. I wrote an e-mail of complaint to the manufacturer so that I could have a reasonable solution to this problem. Sending out technicians and replacing the same part on two different stoves without trying to figure out whats causing the problem is daft in my opinion! The manufacturer did not get back to me within the 2 business days promised. Im beyond frustrated because all theyre willing to do is send out another technician. Again. Never will I purchase a Sears Kenmore (Electrolux) product! I am thankful that its not a dangerous problem like so many other consumers have had on this site. Yet.

I have two. A side by side I bought this spring after moving into this house. The existing recent model top freezer model is now in the utility room with my new Kenmore upright freezer. All 3 are excellently reliable, frost free models. The thermometers I placed in them confirm constant temperatures in both fridge and freezer compartments. I bought my first Kenmore side by side 49 years ago. I left it in a house I sold 34 years later! Reliability draws me to Kenmore. My Kenmore kitchen has a gas range and dishwasher to match the side by side. You can tell I trust and rely on Kenmore appliances.

I CAN LOAD IT FULL. EVERY DISH INSIDE COMES OUT SPARKLING AND VERY CLEAN AND SPOTLESS. GLASSES NOT STAIN ON ANYTHING. CLEAN. No residue with the sprayer. Is very good too. It is big enough to put all my dishes and pots and pans silver wares, glasses. It very good on doing the complete job so I would recommend this dishwasher to family and friends. This machine has a sleek color that goes with all your appliances, stove, refrigerator, microwave, even tile. It would be a very good choice for anyone. The value is money well spent. All the extras you will need, so dont hesitate get one. Best value.

I purchased a Whirlpool built HE Oasis Washer, Kenmore brand but Whirlpool constructed. It really is a piece of junk. I paid right at $1,000 in the fall of 2008 and within three months, I needed a service call. Then right after the one year warranty, I needed several parts replaced and now one year after, it has three error codes. Everyone is recommending the LG machines for everything because they last much longer! I am certainly not going to throw my money away on a Whirlpool appliance any longer. I went through the same thing with our refrigerator and microwave. I bought Whirlpool in 1980 and swore by it. I didnt replace an appliance (purchased washer, dryer, stove, refrigerator and dishwasher) all at the same time in June of 1980. All appliances lasted for 15+ years. Now, Whirlpool doesnt make anything to last! Large appliances are much too expensive to have to replace every three to five years!

My parents bought Kenmore fridges and I continue this practice because they recommended this brand. I had purchased two other refrigerators and liked Kenmore better. I really did like the size and the design of the fridge. I liked the versatile way you could arrange shelving the way you liked. Easy to store products and has lots of storage space in doors too. You could put beverages in the door if you chose to or put them on shelves. I like arranging the placement of products in fridge myself. I also liked temperature control in the very front of fridge as well as the placement of the butter dish and a designated space for my eggs. I liked the ice maker, glass shelves, crisper and frost-free freezer. It had air holes and I could manage the door handles. I also liked the color and that it was well lit and insulated. Added water purifier made plenty of ice. It kept food cold and did not sweat. There were no coils exposed on the back making it easy to clean. However, fridge was a disappointment. The top crisper broke many times and had to repeatedly replace it. The door holders kept breaking and the bottom ledge cracked too. The material it was made is not strong and parts were expensive. The plastic used inside the refrigerator was a wrong choice. There was also a pattern on door handles that grabbed dirt. You had to constantly clean the handles. I would like wheels on fridge so I could easily clean behind and under it.

We wanted a conduction stove/oven and after looking at more than 73 different brands and models we went with the Kenmore Elite. It has 2 ovens, which is great when you need to make more than one dish, the only 2 problems I have with it. Neither oven is big enough to stand a spiral ham up (20 lb turkey fit okay) and you cant use foil (that is how I was taught to cook turkey). We also love the options to lock both ovens and cooktops to prevent accidental turn on. The stovetop with the large burner (3 different size elements) comes in handy and the middle back with flex heating.

I purchased the Kenmore double oven for about $1,500 on Nov. 2, 2012 and the control panel shorted out on Jan. 2, 2014, just two months over the factory warranty. The cost of repair is $450. I have no idea why the panel shorted out in the first place, so I have no idea if it is going to happen again. The design of the oven is such that the vent from the top oven is directly adjacent to the control panel. I purposely never used the self-cleaning feature because I wasnt comfortable heating the oven up to the high temperatures required to clean it. I would not buy this oven again.

In Dec 2009 I redid my kitchen and installed a new, black, ceramic top Kenmore kitchen stove. The finish on the back of the stovetop is failing and the paint is peeling off. I have never used harsh cleaners to clean this - always use dishwashing liquid and yet the enamel is all peeling off and the metal is showing through. Has anyone else had this issue? The warranty on this is only one year - really? For a $699.99 appliance?

Door storage was fantastic. Ice maker did not take up a significant amount of door space. Being able to alter the configuration of shelving was a nice feature as well. However, will never buy a side-by-side refrigerator again due to lack of freezer space. We have chosen to move to another model but did not purchase a Kenmore in the last purchase. Cost of the refrigerator and the competition of other refrigerators examined was well within our range. We also chose this refrigerator because it was our first personal refrigerator purchase and seemed to be a great purchase.

Love this ice maker and cold water. Very economical also. Has shelves that you can move to suit your needs and easy to clean. The side of the refrigerator has so much room for milk, soda. They can fit any size soda bottle. Its 25 cubic. It is fantastic and meets all my family needs. You can arrange the shelves for height to fit your family needs. It has 2 drawers on the bottom for vegetables and cold cuts. Its freezer has loads of shelves and a huge slide out bin on the bottom. It freezes excellent, nothing is ever soft. I own the stainless steel one. It is very attractive and easy to clean with Windex and paper towels. I love the sleek modern look in my kitchen. It goes with any color on any other appliances you might own. It really looks like an expensive appliance but it was very reasonable price at my Sears store. It freezes very fast so food is not ruined and nothing has to be thrown out which saves you lots of money in the long run.

Works well and has a nice range of temp. I would buy it again for sure. That you are in the market for a no frills but a power horse of a fridge check this one out. The size is about average for what they used to be. I know now some high-end models can hold a lot more but this is more than enough for the average household. It reminds me of every other fridge that has come out in the last twenty-five years that is the basic model of course. Big white surface to attach all your magnets and school report cards too. The cost is no more or less than the average fridge of that type and size. Of course you can spend a lot more for side by side doors and in door water and ice but those most people do not need in reality.

The best brand out there. Reliable and trusted. It washes dishes clean even the most dirty quietly and efficiently. Its a brand you can trust. Has been for years. The way the racks are arranged lets me clean more dishes and get them cleaner in one wash than other brands. More efficient means less power used and less time in the kitchen. Looks nice. Matches my kitchen. Looks clean and fits right in with my fridge. Easy to clean off the surface area too. With all the small grandkids running and getting into it, its a big plus to have a easy clean surface. Worth every red cent. The product you buy is better and lasts longer. The dishwasher will continue to give you your moneys worth well beyond when other brands fall apart. Very reasonable for a well-made machine.

The Kenmore dishwasher turbo cycle does a great job. It is very quiet and it is easy to clean the outside. The stainless steel finish looks nice. I liked the Kenmore elite fridge & stove so the dishwasher and microwave matched. Although these products look nice and they all match, the quality is crap. Too much plastic pieces break off easily on the dishwasher. It needs more metal pieces/screws. Also, it uses a lot of water and it takes about 3.5 hours to complete a load of dishes.

Purchased a replacement Kenmore model 79094192310 convection range in January 2015. In December 2015, oven heat went wild and would not turn off until I turned off breaker. Called service since still under one year warranty. Girl assured me it was a bad heat probe, even though I told her I was sure it was a blown controller. Delaying Christmas baking waiting a week on scheduled tech and probe. Of course, tech arrives and assures me the controller is bad. Although his computer said he had the part on his truck, he did not and ordered replacement scheduled for yet another week later. Totally unacceptable. I then ordered the part online from another supplier with one-day shipment. Paid for the part myself. I will install myself. Tech assured me the range was made by Frigidaire, however, part supplier told me this model is made by Electrolux. Whatever. Poor quality. Will never buy Kenmore again. BUYER BEWARE!

Smooth Top Kenmore malfunctioned. Was cooking and broiler come on.... Had to call fire dept. And 220 fuse had to be pulled out to get stove off.... Am disabled... fixed income. Am checking other comments And has happened to others.

The range is not bad for the price. It would be nice if it offered a little more room in the oven. It would also be nice if you could get a good peek inside the oven without having to open the door all the time.

I just bought a coop two months that had been renovated and the kitchen has Kenmore appliances. Dishwasher and refrigerator seem fine, but the gas range (model number 790.7050 or 7060) runs super-hot. I first noticed that the French fries cooking at 450 degrees really came out as crispy critters, so I turned the oven down about 50 degrees and its better. The real problem is that the oven is so hot that I have to run both the vent on high and a fan in order to cook something on the stove top at the same time. Ive never had this problem with any other gas range Ive had (Im 62) so its really puzzling. Now that Ive read the other comments about the ovens, I will be super careful and am considering just getting another gas range. I think this is the way this thing is designed. Even at the lower oven heat, the temperature in the kitchen is unbearable. This is from someone who hardly uses air conditioning in the summer. Anyone else have this experience?

I had baked 2 pies in the oven; 2 hours later, the bake switch gave a loud notice, similar to a shot and seemed to explode. It left a silver mark on the switch. The stove stopped working, including the stove top and oven. I am unable to cook or bake as a result. I will try to resolve this problem with Sears today, August 4, 2014. The stove was purchased 7 years ago.

I have always trusted Kenmore appliances to deliver value, performance and reliability. The fact that they are readily available in most areas in America matters since I move a lot. Its nice to know a dealer is nearby for necessary repairs, or more likely, to buy a newer version. There were many models to choose from so I could get the one that fit my apartment situation perfectly. I had a basic model and it was a size good there but also transitioned to my first house with no problem. It was very easy to clean, and keep clean. However its always a battle to chose between amount of features versus price. And more variety in shelving arrangements would have been nice. Gallon milk jugs and 2 liter soda bottles are a challenge in smaller fridges.

I wanted to get the stainless steel to match the rest of my appliances. Its beautiful and sleek and it looks great with the oven, the microwave and the refrigerator. In this washer I am able to pack everything - plates, cups, and even pots and pans. I only have to do one load and I am done. I put the kids cups as well as the glass cups, fork, knives and spoons, even the ones I use for cooking. Even when I forget to clean thoroughly, it leaves dishes real clean and it dries them real good. The dish its still spic and span. This dishwasher was very expensive but well worth it. I would recommend it to anyone.

Kenmore has always been a leader in appliances and I have a wonderful stove that is easy to clean and includes enough room to cook a Thanksgiving meal! It has electronic ignition which has revolutionized lighting pilots on the stove top and an igniter that engages in the oven once a certain temperature is reached! I’m sure all brands include this technology but I’ve researched by virtue of customer reviews that Kenmore shines in less repairs overall! In appearance, it is beautiful and enhances the aesthetic value of your kitchen! Easy, understandable controls keep you adept of the functionality and less time reading handbooks! All in all, I have been quite content in my satisfaction of the Kenmore label! Congratulations to an innovative dependable company????

I bought this over the range microwave from Sears a couple of years ago. I thought that 1000 watts would be plenty. However most food that you buy for the microwave directions, usually state 1100 watt ovens. The food doesnt seem to stay hot as long as food cooked on the range or in a conventional oven.

The range is easy to use and heats up really fast. It would be better if it had an induction system. The range does not appear to come with a hood and fan system which would be helpful if they did offer those to go with it. I like that it comes in different colors. Very helpful that it comes in gas and electric. Knobs come off for easy cleaning and the top raises so you can get underneath.

I have never owned a stove that I loathe as much as I do the Kenmore glass top stove that we have. Every week without fail, the handle comes apart, causing the glass door and white casing to fall to the ground and I have to screw the entire door and handle back on. We arent rough with this appliance. Its a piece of junk, period. Another thing is that the cooking elements dont provide consistent heat. If I want to boil water to make a cup of tea, I swear I have to wait five minutes before the water in the kettle comes to a boil. I really detest this stove and I am counting the days until it finally gives up the ghost so I can buy a decent stove.

After 20 yrs with my old Kenmore I just bought a new machine through Sears Can...I deliberately did not buy an HE. I am a weaver and when I finish things Ive woven, I need to control the washing process. I did not realize that the lid-lock is continually in effect. Stop the lock and I cant watch the washing process. Then I discover there is no soak cycle. (I also run a small guest house and towels frequently need to soak before a wash cycle.) What designer/programmer, in his infinite idiocy, chose to set the default at empty?! This is moronic! Fill the machine and get distracted and leave the lid up--it empties. Realize I set the wrong cycle and change the dial--it empties. Close the lid and let it sit--it empties.Add to this the fact that the towels are NOT coming out clean. I have tried different cycles, more detergent, hotter water. I have washed twice. I have let things soak. (Put the drain hose into the machine, let it drain back into the drum, pull the electrical plug. Let sit. Put hose into clean garbage can, insert electrical plug and now, even if I want to wash, it drains--into the can. Start from beginning and bucket soapy water into drum as it begins to fill. Start wash. For this I paid nearly $700 CAD tax included. Im putting it on Kijiji as soon as I can find a Speed Queen replacement. And am trying to get my old machine back in service until then. Never again, Kenmore.

Thoroughly washed clothes without trouble. Never had a problem with it, continues to run after multiple years of use. Quiet as well, easy to use. I have had this washer for many years and see myself using it for many more to come. Would recommend to friends. Ive never had nor will I ever have a better washing machine. The appearance is sleek, innovative, and modern. It goes well with the interior of my home as well as the dryer that I own. I couldnt ask for a dryer that looks any different. The value is what you pay for, and in this case its well worth the price. It falls into a good range and is inexpensive compared to other washers.

Burn hazard due to oven racks falling. Apparently this is a well-known and well-documented hazard. These ovens are manufactured by Frigidaire for Kenmore and Jenn-Air with only the cosmetics being different. Same defect in both. Jenn Air has recalled and replaced the defective products, Sears is in denial. The problem is that when the self-cleaning mode is used, the oven sidewalls expand, allowing the racks to fall, resulting in burns. So far, weve been lucky, but if a small child or pet were in the vicinity... it could be tragic. We purchased all high end Kenmore Elite when we redid our kitchen. The factory service was a joke. We filed a complaint with the Consumer Product Safety Commission and will be sending a demand letter to Sears and Frigidaire.

I have always preferred an electric stove over a gas stove. I had my stove and hot water on propane so I decided to do all electric and thats when I purchased the Kenmore electric range. I have never owned a glass top stove that didnt have the coil burners. There really wasnt any other options. I learned that if you spill something on the stove while cooking on it to make sure you clean it up before you use it again because it is a lot harder to get it clean if you keep cooking on it. It cleans up great as long as you clean it after every use. It has a convection option instead of just bake selection which I use most of the time because its faster and it cooks more evenly. It also has one burner that is called turbo boil. When you use that burner it boils within less than 1 minute. It is awesome. Really cant think of anything negative. I would highly recommend the Kenmore electric range. It is the best oven I have ever owned.

Our experience with all Kenmore brand appliances is so great that Kenmore has proven to be one of our choice and go-to brands. We will and have recommended Kenmore and will continue to shop this brand for future needs. Kenmore offers very competitive pricing especially for such a high quality brand. This is a good advantage to save money especially with a large family to support. Having a large family we have always needed quite a bit of room to store our groceries. Our Kenmore refrigerator is big enough to fit what we need it to. The shelves being adjustable has also held significant advantages. Our Kenmore refrigerator is white inside and out and is so easy to keep clean or to wipe away with a gentle swipe when the inevitable spills have occurred.

I bought the most expensive and top of the line stove over 3k with the thought of getting the best product they offer. If this is Sears Kenmore best I feel very sorry for anyone that paid less. Dual convection fans but cooks uneven. Takes 20 min to come up to full temp if it’s at 400 and told by Sears service tech this is normal. My 20 year old Jenn-Air it replaced took 8 min to come up to 450. The front panel looks like hell after 1 year. My dog can swipe his nose across it and turn on burners. It’s a safety hazard as done it when a towel was on the burner. The top glass if you look at it wrong it will scratch. I use aluminum bottom Swiss diamond pots and pans never made a mark on the Jenn-Air and this thing looks worse now after 2 years than my 20 year old glass did on the old stove that had cast iron used on it now and then. This is the finest Chinese garbage ever made. You just cannot buy a quality product anymore no matter what you pay. I tried to get the glass replaced and fix the stove and no luck. I will never buy another Sears/Kenmore product ever again and go out of my way to tell others how poor of a product this really is. Had the Jenn-Air not got the top smashed when I put it out in the shed it would be back in place of this piece of junk and be outside with a big sign on it saying how terrible Sears products and service is now. No wonder Craftsman tools went to Lowe’s and no wonder Sears is now barely above water. Done with them completely. I should have learned my lesson on the terrible Elite dishwasher we have and all the issues with that thing but tried to give them another chance as back 20 years ago products from them lasted forever compared to other brands.

We've had our Kenmore range for 14 years and have never had a problem. Oven works great and temperature is true to the setting you select. Would definitely recommend Kenmore.

3 days ago, March 29, 2013, I was using my range to cook bacon. I had it set at 375 degrees and had just checked the bacon and determined it had another 7-10 minutes to cook. I left the room for a few minutes, and after about 5 minutes, I could hear a beeping. My husband asked me if I wanted him to shut off the timer, but I said, I didnt set the timer. The stove kept beeping non-stop, so I returned directly to the kitchen only to see “F10 - ERR” on the touch screen. I opened the oven and smoke poured out. I quickly closed the door and my husband ran downstairs to shut the breaker because nothing I could do would stop the beeping. With the stove shut off at the breaker, I opened it and took out my burned bacon; and the room was filled with smoke. After doing some research online, it appears that the error means that the heat is considered to be runaway and at a dangerous level! Are you kidding me? I would like to know how long Sears has known about this issue, and why they have not informed people about this problem. What if I had a roast in the oven and had gone outdoors to do some work? This will be the 6th issue I have had with this range. So far, the brain was fixed once then replaced; the triple burner had to be replaced as did the whole glass top. The last item was the door as it warped and stained during a regular cleaning. I do not trust this range anymore and want it replaced. It is a lemon! It is unsafe and at this point, I am afraid to even turn the breaker on. Sears needs to step up to the plate and stand behind a very expensive range. This range broke down within 3 weeks of delivery to me and then again a few months later. It has been nothing but one thing after the other and I am done with allowing it to be repaired. It is a fire hazard! God forbid my new home would burn down due to Sears not replacing this lemon they have sold to me. It is time to replace it or give me my money back. I will never buy a Kenmore product again! Ever!

My Kenmore dishwasher was very fast and it did not make a bunch of loud noises like some dishwashers that I had owned prior. This specific model dishwasher had powerful jets. I cant recall a time when I owned my first Kenmore that I ever had to run my dishes through a second cycle. They always came out looking crystal clean. The dishwasher came with my first condo I bought and for the five years I lived there I had absolutely no problems at all with it. I own a Kenmore now because of it. I was told by the previous owners of the condominiums that the dishwasher and oven were brand new and had been installed a week earlier.

It washes my clothes clean and dries my clothes in a good timely manner. I have used other washers and have had issues with them in the past. I have also had washer and dryers not wash and dry my clothes thoroughly. It fits just the usually size load. Its not a higher duty dryer and washer. Those ones were out of my price range. But I dont have any complaints about the load size. I live by myself. I like the appearance of my washer and dryer. It doesnt look old or used and its easy to use. It has the basic knobs but very stylish. Overall others would complain and want the newer model but this one I am very happy with. The value of this washer and dryer is very least expensive but is stylish enough to look like youre not poor and cant afford a nice washer. I love these models of washers and dryers. I think these models are the best around for people that cant afford the newest models around.

We replaced our 18-year-old Kenmore Glass Top Range with another one, once we lost a two burners. Because we were pleased with the old one otherwise, we replaced it with an updated and similar model. Although, we like the convection aspect of this range, the glass portion cracked mysteriously and we had to have two associates come out to confirm the problem to replace it under warranty. The newer Kenmore, Whirlpool appliance do not seem as durable as the older one. We are disappointed and will look to other brands in the future. Glass broke within the first 6 months

Ive had this stove going on thirty years. Still going strong, this brand has a good name in appliances (Well it did when I bought it) I am sure there are better brandsout there today and more bells and whistles on them.

I believe after viewing so many refrigerators and going to different places to check out, we were impressed with the Kenmore Refrigerator brand. I also checked out other brands and reviews but the Kenmore refrigerator by far was equipped better and the price was in the range we were going to spend. Their refrigerators also had good reviews and we liked the look. The Kenmore Refrigerator stuck out as the one we wanted to purchase. The features were great. It was set up easy to clean and it has a great icemaker.

Economical, enjoyable, and convenient. The Kenmore had the features that I wanted within my price range. This is why I initially made the decision to purchase the particular model. In terms of the brand, it is known for quality and this is why I was comfortable choosing one of their products and it has met expectations. I like the styling of the refrigerator. It fits in well in the kitchen and looks good while being functional and doing its job of keeping the familys food fresh and cold. I also like the water and ice dispenser because it makes it easy and convenient to get filtered water and I dont have to worry about keeping ice cube trays full. However, sometimes ice forms on the bottom and makes a mess in the kitchen. We havent figured out exactly why, so I wish they fix this issue and make it so that it doesnt leak water inside and cause this issue.

I furnished a new house with all Kenmore Elite appliances in October 2010: Washer/Dryer, Central Vac, Fridge, Stove, Dishwasher. All have had issues and repairs except for the dishwasher which is rarely used. Most recent, the oven door simply exploded on its own. This is when you have to wonder about a companys credibility when selling such junk. Wheres the consumer protection when product like this can cause bodily injuries? I would never buy anything from Sears again. Its time to cut up my Sears card.

We have a Sears Kenmore self-cleaning oven. Last week the broiler came on, when the oven was off! I thought I smelled something hot in the house and found the oven extremely hot, on the verge of being on fire. After shutting off the breaker and allowing the oven to cool, my husband turned the breaker back on. Oven is still off. The broiler came on. We allowed the oven to cool again. My husband removed the back panel and disconnected the broiler. However, we are not comfortable with the stove and will be replacing it - but Not with a Sears product. My daughter had the same range. Two years ago my granddaughter (age 16) was baking cookies. She put a tray of cookies in the oven, left the room and the self-cleaning came on. The cookies started on fire and she could not open the oven because the self-cleaning lock was on. Stove was a total loss. Lousy product.

It was the better of the dishwashers I have owned. It was not needful to even rinse the dishes well, only scrape them good. I wish I had bought the same model again when it wore out and needed replaced. I was married with four children. We almost always could get all the dishes and pans into the dishwasher and then some. I was always very happy about this as I hate washing any dishes by hand. Im not one to really care about the way an appliance looks most of the time, but I did like this one especially as it matched my stove and refrigerator. They were Kenmore also :) It was a very good value as it did the job very well and lasted many years even through such a large family and much mistreatment by so many children trying to do their chores.

We had both the washer and dryer and they were, although basic, very efficient. The pair was relatively quiet, and the washer had an automatic bleach dispenser. The dryer did a fair job. I believe these were near bottom of the cost curve. Even though we replaced both units, they were both in good operating condition after ten years. We gave them to a neighbor who had rental properties and they are still going strong there. There were some options that we did not have, and that we wanted, so we upgraded and looked quite awhile before deciding. We wanted an HE unit, and we wanted the bells and whistles that tell you when stuff is done. We wanted more settings on the dryer. So we went to Sears and actually found something that suited us very well. We ended up, however, purchasing Whirlpool, because of the customer service at Lowes.The units were white. Dirt tended to accumulate under the lid of the washer and it needed wiped out regularly (which probably should be done at any rate). They were, as I said, pretty basic. White, utilitarian. Kenmore appliances, of any type (and weve had several so I can say this from first-hand experience) are some of the best appliances available anywhere. The units range from basic to sophisticated, and the price tag increases as the options are added. In the long run the value is, in my opinion, excellent. I would highly recommend any Kenmore appliance.

My 40 stainless steel Elite Kenmore range/glass top looks impressive on first notice. But the design of the rim around the top has caused it to get really scratched in a short period of time (1 year). The drawer below the ovens is very flimsy. The digital oven works great. But the smaller analog ovens thermostat can never be relied on. I love the five burners on the cooktop, two of them having the capability to be two different sizes. I am unhappy with the stainless steel finish... Very hard to clean without streaks. Ive tried everything! I needed the 40 size because I live in a 1960s house that requires 40 stove, or a lot of cabinet rehab. I thought the price was too high. But there are very few ranges available in that size.

My Kenmore Elite outside oven glass door shattered while we were broiling something! Since we are out of warranty, they want $400 to replace it. From what Im reading on the internet, this seems to be a design flaw.

This is my first smooth top 2 door oven from Kenmore. Before I had a coil oven which lasted for 23 years. It came with our mobile home and sold it (still in working order) before we got a Kenmore.

I have owned numerous Kenmore appliances: refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, stoves and dryers. I have been very satisfied with their products. I highly recommend Kenmore appliances. I prefer them over many more highly advertised brands. I have owned others, had more issues and went back to Kenmore.

Ditto Angie of Milton, Other on Aug. 4, 2014. This is the second time our glass shattered. Purchased the oven in 2010 (new home). First glass shattered Dec 2012. Glass replaced by A&E certified tech. August 2014 - second event of glass shattering. Waiting to hear from Sears.

Purchased the Kenmore Electric Range Model #790-94182310 in March of 2015. Used mostly the top, some baking but no more than 10 times a month. Babied this range! Wiped up any spills myself. However had a spillover and decided to do the first self-clean. Range is 1 year and 8 months old. The error code came on flashing F-10 on the display. I hit the off button but the F-10 continued to flash. Turned off electric supply at the breaker. Never had a ring or anything other than the F-10 to alert me. By the time it cooled, I had done the research for troubleshooting which was very helpful through YouTube by a Sears technician. We learned there was probably a temperature sensor problem. We also learned how to test it and the control panel. After removing the back panel, we discovered they both were heat-damaged. Part of the control panel was blackened by fire. The odor that I smelled and thought was the cleaning, was the plastic around the panel and the elements within the control panel. Called Sears - they offered to send a technician that would cost $89, then of course it would need the parts. Didnt bother finding out what that would cost. Did not buy the extended warranty. Who would have thought that the first time you self-cleaned an oven it would catch something on fire!!! Very unsatisfied. We are going to attempt to fix it ourselves but we do not intend to ever purchase Kenmore again. Loved my KitchenAid that I had for years and only got rid of it because it was black and I wanted to change to white. Needless to say, we are angry. Also said they could not find where there was a recall on the range. Gave me another to call which I will do. Now to hope for a recall which I feel is necessary!!! I have pictures but for some reason says file type not accepted???

Washer lasted for ten years as well as the matching dryer. We just replaced because of fire in dryer and gasket and drum broke in washer which resolved in a leak. Washed and dried clothes. Dryer had to be put in twice to actually dry the clothes. Washer had a smell if I didnt wash every day, so I bought a Tide detergent that cleans front end loaders and that seemed to help. They were a beautiful color of burnt orange. They never got scratched and looked as new as when I purchased when they are taken away 10 yrs later. They were a good value lasted for 10 yrs only fixed once. They washed 15 towels easily. Dryer just didnt dry as well.

I purchased my Kenmore electric glass cooktop approximately 10 years ago, and its been the worst stove my husband and I have ever had! Even from the beginning! It takes forever to heat up. Ive had cheap stoves that preheat in half the time than this stove and this one cost us a pretty penny! Not to mention the burners that are supposed to be quick boil, HA! Its like that old adage, a watched pot never boils! And the minute we got it home, liquid leaked down the vent holes and got between the glass, and there was nothing in the manual about how to clean it, so there it stayed, disgusting looking for the past 10 years, annoying the ** out of me. Until today when I saw something on Google and YouTube on how to clean that, FINALLY! So I did. Well, guess what? Those darn vents are extremely DANGEROUS! They are like razor blades. Sears should make those things so they are dull around the edges. I sliced my finger open on them and had to go to urgent care. Why is it so darn difficult to clean inside that glass anyway, yet so easy for it to get dirty? Nobody want drips of grease running down inside their glass forever! Disgusting! Ir to have to injure themselves trying to clean it. On top of that, now my oven front has a gap from the glass! What do I do? I hate Kenmore! Worst oven ever!

The oven racks of my Kenmore model 790.36723603 fall off the middle tracks. This is not an isolated occurrence. Many people are complaining of the same problem online. It appears that the oven walls are bowed due to the extreme heat of the self-cleaning cycle. It is obviously a safety issue when removing hot food. These ovens should be recalled or repaired at the expense of Sears due to a manufacturer error. Sears is not taking responsibility, only suggesting the purchase of new racks.

Kenmore elite wall oven - Purchased in 2010, within the first 90 days, I used the self cleaning feature. It blew the thermal fuse. Repair guy informed us that there was a defect with the wall ovens that this would happen if you use the self cleaning feature. Sears replaced the oven. Our warranty ran out in August 2013. Overflow on a dish that I was cooking required me to use the self cleaning feature (first time on this oven). It locked the door after it finished cleaning. Called repair line and informed them what had happened and gave them the error code. Repair man came a week later and found that the motor cause the door lock was out and they would have to order the part. I dont understand why they did not bring one with them. I asked the gentleman to please bring a thermal fuse based on the last oven. Week 2 the repair guys shows up and puts the motor in and guess what? It will not heat due to the THERMAL FUSE being out. He does not have a thermal fuse with him and they will have to order the part and it will be another week. At this point I have blown my own fuse. 3 weeks without a oven that you told them on the phone what was wrong and they did not bring the parts with them is just a little much for me. PLEASE do not purchase KENMORE appliances unless you too want to experience the frustration that we have. I will never own another. Pass this on to everyone. This was purchased in Bowling Green, KY.

Refrigerator had enough room for our weekly groceries. The shelves can be moved easily to create the right size storage of larger items like milk and juice. The refrigerator was easy to clean, mainly just wipe clean. It operated efficiently and did not increase electric bill. Temperature stayed constant - did not have some food frozen in section that was not the freezer, as I have had with other refrigerators. The size of the refrigerator was efficient. Milk, Juice, and soft drinks all fit comfortably. In the doors there was enough room for all condiments and bottles of water. It was black, which is a color I like. Doesnt show fingerprints easy. It was easy to wipe clean. It fit in designated area for refrigerator and looked nice with other appliances. This refrigerator was a gift from parents to replace refrigerator that electrical surge ruined. The price was in range of what other similar refrigerators were priced. Delivery was free at store it was bought from. It was also installed free. It was a good price for the size and features.

The washer is by Kenmore and I have not had any repairs in the time I have owned the machine. This washer does the job. Happy with its performance. Clothes are clean. Not looking to replace. Will keep this washer for the long term. This washer is white and is a standard washer with a top load. It has an agitator and a lot of buttons. I use warm for my whites and cold for my colors. I looked at a lot of machines. It was not at the top or at the bottom of the range. I therefore felt I got good value.

Twice now coming home my Kenmore stove has turned itself on by the handle. Nobody was home. I could not figure out how it could happen until I read this happened to others. Very dangerous gas smell. I felt like I would pass out. BEWARE!

Installers messed up cabinetry, didnt fix. Temp on oven wrong all the time. I had to build a 2 by 18 plug or it would have just been open to under my stairs.

We purchased a Kenmore Elite 24 cu.ft. Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator model# 78043 in Feb 2015 and installed it in late April 2015 for our new kitchen renovation. We loved the appearance of the unit and the space available inside. We had been noticing for the past 3 or 4 weeks that our food was going bad and an unusual odor inside. At first, we thought we had just purchased some out of date food. We placed boxes of baking soda inside for the odor. We installed a refrigerator thermometer inside both compartments and began monitoring the temperatures. The temp range in the fridge was 43-54 degrees and the freezer was 6-20 degrees even though the settings were at the recommended 0 and 37.Please be aware if you purchase this unit that the display only shows the setting temps, not the actual temps. Two months after being put into service, this unit has stopped cooling the refrigerator/freezer compartments adequately. In the end, all of our food had to be discarded. Initially, Sears service suggested they would replace the defective unit because it was so new, then said we had to schedule a service call 22 days from now. We purchased this item based primarily on the Kenmore name. That was obviously a mistake.Updated on 08/19/2015: This is an update to our previous review of the fridge we purchased from Sears. The service tech finally arrived on Aug 4 after our original appt was re-scheduled for a week later. He ordered the parts which were delivered the next day. The appt for install was Aug 19. Sears called yet again to reschedule for Sept 1. In the meantime, we discovered the part they sent was the wrong part. We called today to hopefully get the right part before the rescheduled Sept 1 appointment.

We remodeled our kitchen may of 2013, and purchased new elite, stove, refrigerator, microwave. 3 months after purchase, after using oven and turning it off, it was discovered that not only did it not switch off, it was super heating! We shut off the breaker. Called Kenmore, they sent a repair man out, who looked at it, and decided to replace the control panel. Took about 5 days for the part to come in, so I was without my stove for About 7 days. He replaced the part and we hoped all was well, but then, last week, it did it again. This is very scary! If we hadnt noticed, our house could burn down...again Kenmore wants to repair it, Im done with this lemon! I will never trust it again! Obviously, there is a piece in there that is blowing out this control panel. I paid a lot of money for this range, all I want is what I payed for. Kenmore was useless, but Sears is working with me. So hopefully, they will be replacing it for us....we will see over the next couple days...

My 10 months old barely used not one spill caught on fire cooking Thanksgiving turkey. The fire was huge from turkey dripping a little. I thought it was an isolated incident. Three months later (I cleaned the oven and it was spotless), Paula Dean French toast casserole spilled and caused a huge scary smokey fire during a bridal luncheon. Sears has done nothing except charge me a service call to have 2 technicians come out and look at it. The bottom of the oven is melted. I am furious! Sears told me I should have purchased the extended warranty. (12 months old) My old oven lasted 28 years with 10 times the use! Sears wont do anything. Charged me 140 dollars to have 2 technicians come and stand there and look at it. They didnt remove or check anything

In general it is a good product except the electronics for the surface plates. The oven bakes very well and the temperatures are accurate. I recommend this product. However, in the future I would buy another brand.

I love the pretty color, it matches my other kitchen appliances perfectly. Its very nice and I like the way they made the switches and buttons on it. I love the size too cause it holds all my dishes perfectly with plenty of space. I love the way its made all my dishes fit in each little space just right. I really love the way the Kenmore washes. My dishes always come out really clean Spot free. I would recommend this dishwasher to others. Great buy. It was in my price range and something that I could afford. It was very fairly priced and affordable. I really love it. Thank you Kenmore.

Amazing. The dishes came out very clean and no water spots. Even takes off caked on food. Very fast washing and quiet. I would recommend to anyone who needs a new one. Compact but very roomy inside. It fit well in my kitchen and my kitchen is definitely on the smaller side. I have dinner parties often and it can hold all of the dishes. The washer is beautiful. Water spots dont stick and fingerprints are easily wiped off with a wet rag. I prefer the black because it looks sleek and fits in with the kitchen. It was a great price. I am always looking for a bargain and after comparing models and prices this one was the best option and easily within my price range.

Never had an issue. Freezer always stayed cold and the refrigerator worked perfectly. Ive had it for a long time and it works just as great as it did the day I got it. The only issues I had were with the freezer. It was hard to always fit several frozen pizzas and large tubs of ice cream. I just had to change my grocery shopping habits. It isnt the most glamorous. Its not ugly. It just looks dated when compared to stainless steel. It matched my kitchen at the time. It was on the lower end of the price range of refrigerators but it has lasted a long time without having repairs. It also doesnt use a ton of energy.

I have owned a 2005 model Kenmore washer and dryer. They had several convenient settings for any size load, timing, heating/cooling on both the washer and the dryer. Size efficiency for smaller areas. Decent price range. And especially the warranty.

We purchased our house from the original owner and have had nothing but problems with the oven racks. They never used the oven, so were unaware of the problem. It is Model # C 970-418232, Serial # NF70817966. We have had the racks fall in the middle of baking something NUMEROUS times, finally with one incidence causing a serious burn. This is unacceptable! I have read that others have had the same issues, but there have been no resolutions as of yet. It is not under warranty anymore, and I dont think that this should be called a warranty issue, but should be recalled due to the risk of VERY SERIOUS burns, items breaking when rack falls, etc!!! We should be able to SAFELY use ANY of our oven racks on ANY of the shelf levels! My mother has also been burned by our oven, and my children are forbidden to use it! Has ANYONE been compensated for this problem? Has Sears ever replaced any of the racks and given the owner the correct size? I look forward to hearing more about this from other owners, and would love to hear back from Sears! This is an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS problem that needs to be fixed!

It’s lasted at least 15 years. The glass flat top is impressively flawless. Recently the two left burners died but other than that, it’s done its job well! The self cleaning oven, you still definitely have to vacuum out when finished the cycle.

I purchased this Kenmore 94173 range online and so wish I did not. My old ovens control panel exploded and I decided to get a new oven versus repairing the old one. I do like the stove. My one issue is keeping the black glass top smudge/fingerprint free. The glass top is just about impossible to keep shiny. I have tried the recommended glass top cleaners by Kenmore and they have failed horribly. No matter which product I have tried, nothing so far has removed the smudges. Even though the glass top is clean, it looks terrible. Really disappointed that Kenmore does not realize the frustration of black glass tops. Now I place teapots and the like on the stove to hide Kenmores idiocy.

Works very fast and gets clothes very clean provided you use the right soap. Made sure that the lines are connected correctly. This was an item I bought on eBay and found that it was worth the price. Bought it bundled with a dryer. Cleans my items every time without fail. Only became unreliable when the top started to rust so I called the washer repair guy and asked to have the rust taken off. Instead they replaced the entire top of the washer. Appearance remained great until the rust showed up. The rust made the top of the dryer get dark and brown and strange. The appearance fell apart at that point. It was strange to see my clothes not look so nice at that point. It was very cheap, only a few hundred dollars so I was okay with the item totally falling apart when it did despite the fact that it was inconvenient. The value for me was perceived in the amount of money that I ultimately did not spend.

Yesterday morning while my daughter was sitting in her living room the house started to fill with smoke. She went into the kitchen and found smoke billowing out of her electric oven which was not turned on. She got her husband up and he quickly got the stove disconnected and pulled it outside. Later that day they called Sears to send a technician to check out the stove. The technician wrote in his report that the cause of the fire was food that was in the oven. The food was leftover pizza and french fries from the night before. The stove was shut off and not in use, but it heated up by itself. I believe the cause was an electrical short (defect) that caused the oven to heat up and catch fire. The stove was purchased 4/24/2012 and I bought a 5-year warranty on it. Because of what the technician told them, Sears will not honor their warranty.

The microwave oven tech explained that unless you open the very difficult to open door exactly right, then you might pop the fuse in the oven and short it out. If you lift up just slightly on the door rather than pulling precisely level it could pop. Very poor design if its that easy to do.

The price of the dishwasher was in the price range that fit my familys budget. It is nice to get what you are paying for and that your money is spent on a item/dishwasher that will make you say, Money was well spent. I enjoy the size, because it dont take up too much space in my kitchen. I hope that when I purchase a new one that the size will fit where we want lose counter space. My kitchen is not big, so I need the dishwasher to be a decent size that can get the job done.I would improve the function so that it is easy to use. I need a dishwasher that is easy to function, but have the power to do marvelous job of getting the dishes clean and spotless glassware. Durable and long-lasting is something that needs to be a plus, especially when this is a important piece in homes. I wish it can be controlled with a remote, so that if I forget to start it I can do it with the remote. Also, make the writings bigger, and the knobs are more easy to read as to where you can tell that you have it on the correct setting picked.
