I purchased a Kenmore induction range approximately 5 years ago. The oven racks no longer fit, they fall down and create a very dangerous problem. Sears has told me in order to fix the problem I need to change the entire oven box. Needless to say it might happen again since it seems the box expands with use.

My oven has lasted nearly problem free over the years, and if I had problems that needed service, I could call and get it. My relative purchased a stove at the same time they both still work. They were seriously used for family cooking and truly held up to the task.

We purchased our wall oven from Sears with the expectation of quality of their name and the backing of their outside manufactures making products for them. I noticed the house smelled like wood burning and thought it might be our fireplace. The smell progressively grew stronger and stronger over the months as we used the oven. Last week I got scared and called a local appliance repairman and he asked if my oven was clean, as most of his calls are from something falling onto the heating element(s). I cleaned the oven as a precaution. My son came home from college for the weekend that night and used the oven to bake a dessert, the kitchen filled with smoke and again smelled like burnt wood.Monday the appliance repairman found the problem and said we were lucky the house did not burn down. The bottom of the oven dropped down allowing the heating element and bottom liner of the oven to transfer heat to the under cover as seen in the pictures attached. First two are the charred and burnt cabinet, third is the hot spot under the oven where heat transfer happened, the last three are the sunken bottom and heating element.

When my families oven of twenty years finally kicked the bucket we shopped around for the best, not the cheapest, the best for our home. We happened upon Sears and found the Kenmore 5 burner range. We asked for it in white to match our kitchen and happily they had it in stock. The problems began the better half of six months. After baking for all that time we noticed that when any casserole is placed in the oven on the rack, it bends very close to baking. We called and were hurried off the phone by the horrible company saying new racks would arrive at our house in five business days. Three weeks later we called back after visiting the Store in Hermitage. We were greeted by an ignorant saleswoman (I am college educated and I am using the correct form of this word) who stared at us and said Why oh yes, these racks are flimsy. Maybe you could have a welder have ones made or go to a used store and but replacements. Flabbergasted we called the Kenmore hotline to be reconnected over and over to someone who informed us the racks were never ordered and a repairman would have to come and inspect the oven would be over to see if the oven was in fact broke. The man never showed and said there was no way our oven was broken. Not only is it unacceptable for Sears employees to be so inconsiderate to family who purchased a full price $900 product, but also it is horrid that Kenmore had lied and cheated us along the way. NO ONE SHOULD WASTE THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY HERE!

I had purchased a Kenmore wall oven back in December 2011. A few months ago, the racks were not fitting properly and the pan with food kept spilling and crashing onto the element and I kept getting burned. Last straw was last evening when I burned my arm pretty good when trying to rescue a falling pan. I went to Sears this morning and they told me it was probably the racks so I ordered 2. Now reading all the complaints, I see that it probably is not the racks but the product itself and it is no longer under warranty. The sales people looked at me like I was nuts when describing this problem.

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.

I have had no problems with the refrigerator I bought at Sears. I have had the refrigerator for over 2 years now, and am very satisfied with its operation. It is the three-door model with the freezer on the bottom. I will have to say if you are older, like myself, you would probably do better by getting one with the freezer located in a different place. I find it difficult to bend over or kneel for a period of time to locate something in the freezer. Other than this self-inflicted problem, I would have to say that the Kenmore refrigerator has proven to be an excellent choice.

This washer is awesome. If you have seen commercials where they put filthy dishes in to wash and find it unbelievable, you can believe it now. I tested it. It really works with this dishwasher. I give it a score of 15 out of a possible 10. Its that good. It is the perfect size. With a family of four we can start putting the dishes in at breakfast. Throughout the day we keep adding more dishes. You would think we would run out of room before dinner, that is not so. We still have room for the dirty dinner dishes. You wouldnt think that a dishwasher could be described as pretty but this one can. I got it in the silver or chrome color and it matches the refrigerator and the oven and stove. They all look really pretty next to each other. It is definitely worth every penny I spent on it. It wasnt very expensive at all. There were other brands that did the exact same thing but were more expensive. It turned out to be a really good value.

When opening oven door on Kenmore wall oven, handle fell off one side and glass door exploded into me. There were shards of glass everywhere, even countertops, and I had a small cut on my foot. The company is sending a repairman who we have to pay $250, despite all the phone calls and emails to corporate. We feel this was a defective piece of equipment, and seeing several other complaints of similar happenings, I feel we should not have to pay for service call or the repair/replacement. I will never buy Kenmore products again after this incident. And will do my best to spread the word.

We purchased this washer/dryer combo about 2 years ago and I have never been happy. MY clothes do not come out clean, only refreshed. The tank never fills with enough water to clean anything. The clothes get wet and flop around. I wash very small loads and I have to wash dishcloths and kitchen towels 2 or 3 times. This is not saving water. Every few weeks, I boil my dishcloths and kitchen on the stove to get them clean. I called for service and was told that this was the way this washer worked. I have been happy in the past with Kenmore appliances, but not this time. I am going to replace this 2 year old washer soon.

Love this brand... Fancy and flashy. Bought a matching stove because of the new and modern look it added to my kitchen. I am looking forward to buying an good range in the same Brand as well to make a whole matching kitchen set very soon!

I have purchased Kenmore appliances since 1962. Washer, Dryer, dishwasher, range, microwave and even an electric can opener. I have complained loudly and often about this washing machine. I have contacted the Sears store where I purchased a washer & dryer in August 2012. The design of this machine is unbelievable and I am far from satisfied. This machine requires that one put the clothes and detergent and/or bleach in with the clothes. The machine immediately locks and fills with about a quart of water. Meanwhile, the clothes are setting in strong soapy water or bleach for over a minute. Subsequently, it results in spotted and ruined clothing, towels, sheets, etc. In addition, you can only wash clothes in the delicate cycle, to prevent ripping and shredding of laundry. Once the cycle is finished, one must go to the rinse/spin cycle in order to add Downy. This wastes water.Finally, I was directed to Repair Service where the Rep told me that the cost of a one year warranty was $80.00. She said that I only had to pay her $49.99 at that time and to give a check to the repairman for the additional $30.01 on the day of service. I thought it odd that she would not allow me to pay the entire $80.00 while on the phone but went along with it anyway. I was in TOTAL SHOCK when the repairman told me that I had to write him a check for $80.00. I explained to him what the Warranty Rep had told me and he said that the Warranty was $49.99 per month with an $80.00 deductible each visit. Who in his or her right mind would pay $599.88 for a contract on a washing machine? One could purchase a top of the line washer for this amount.SEARS IS GOING OUT OF BUSINESS AS A RESULT OF POOR SALES (I WONDER WHY). Do not make any purchase from Sears because the motto on the doors of each store say, Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back is not worth the ink that it was stamped on with! Sears has promised to refund me $49.99+$80.00+$30.00 gift card. This paltry sum does not even begin to reimburse me for all of the discolors clothes, towels, blankets and all of the discolored clothes that have been ruined by this machine! My attorney (Consumer Affairs attorney) is filing a lawsuit in federal court. If anyone else wants to join in on this lawsuit, you may e-mail me! Do not waste your time trying to deal with corporate because they will do nothing to help you. I am 71 years old and was not told of the bad features on this machine.

I find my Kenmore to be generally reliable and efficient. I dont believe that it gives the best wash results but I find them satisfactory. For the money I think it is acceptable. My primary concern is that even when I pre-treat different articles of clothing it doesnt seem to make much difference. I suspect that there are washers that would produce better results but are out of my price range to purchase.

Please dont buy Kenmore, or from Sears. My stove caught on fire last night (11/21/14). Sears wont replace it they want me to pay for the repair....NOT, so here is what happened: We cut the oven to warm up then walked away. We heard a popping then a smell of wires burning. If we had not been in the kitchen this would be a different story. I call Sears, oh they want me to pay to have them come look at it, I dont think so! The earliest they can come to look at it is DECEMBER 2nd, Wait that is a week and a half! They told me that I cant get it replaced without me paying for it even if it is faulty wires. I AM SO MAD right now! If you have a Kenmore range in your house unplug it NOW, wishing I had never bought this thing!

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.

The Kenmore Gas Range 7290 we bought from Sears has been a real letdown. The Electronic oven control board continues to need replacing. Even the last one we ordered from Sears didnt even work when we installed it. They have to send us another one to replace it. There needs to be a recall on this gas range. Its a dud and a waste of a lot of $$.

I bought this gas stove at Sears at least 20 years ago. It still looks almost as good as new; the only damage is a chip that the men who installed a replacement floor made somehow. It has never needed repair. Its easy to clean and still works perfectly. I bought a second one used for my lake house 10 years ago with the same experience.

Kenmore Ultra Bake Oven - So apparently this is a thing with Kenmore ovens? I was not in the kitchen when I heard a pop followed by lots of crackling. No one was near the oven, thank god. The oven is 8 years old, but we really dont use it often and do not treat it roughly. There is no good reason why an oven door should explode. This seems to be a well-known problem and yet there are no consumer warnings on new ovens and no recalls that I can find. These ovens are dangerous and should not be in peoples homes. Kenmore should take responsibility for creating an inferior product instead of blaming this obvious defect on consumer use. Very disappointed.

After replacing my Kenmore Elite slide in oven/stove because it was a lemon with too many issues to enumerate, I foolishly choose the next generation thinking it was improved. This stove cannot maintain a temperature for more than 10 minutes before it begins a preheat function and it begins to try to come to temp by firing up the top and/or bottom heating elements effectively ruining any delicate baked goods like cookies or cakes. I will never ever buy a Kenmore product again. In addition even though they market a five element stove top, if you have 2 elements on high and the oven on, the entire unit blows the breakers and fuses (and it is not our wiring/breakers that are malfunctioning). Worst product ever!

I bought sears Kenmore Elite appliances and have recommended to many people to do so as they support veterans. After a little less than 2 years my ceramic top just cracked for no reason. I had my normal cleaning product which I use every night on the stovetop and when I wiped it the next morning it was rough so I thought something had spilled there. Not so! There was a huge crack (like a spider web) thru the entire right side. When I told sears the person said to me, thats what happens if you dont buy the extended warranty! I will continue to fight this obvious manufacturers error!

I purchased brand new Kenmore elite range. I used the self clean feature once. Oven will not bake. Cannot find any solutions, there are blogs that recommend a reset button but this model does not have a reset button. I dont have the $ to replace it. Expensive paperweight. I will never buy anything Kenmore again. I already learned the lesson about Maytag brand years ago.

Purchased 3 appl. LG fridge $2700, LG dishwasher $900 and Kenmore Pro gas stove/elec. OVEN $3212.00 - yes $3212.00! Purchased 4/13. Total purchase with everything was $7285.99! Not even 6 yrs. old yet!!! Just replaced the dishwasher - it just quit working, not fixable, moved the fridge so they could bring in the new dishwasher and now the fridge quit cooling and needs a new compressor! Of course they expired 4/16 and never used them... The service call was $78.50 and even though the compressor is covered under warranty the LABOR will be $450!!! The stove has issues as well and will error and turn off the oven when cooking.... So upset and extremely disappointed in their performance or better word LACK of performance. Just sick over this having to replace again after this COST!!! There must be some recourse for the customer! So I guess it doesnt matter what you pay you will be lucky to get 5 yrs. out of your appliances.

My wife and I have been faithful Kenmore customers for 15 years (as were both of our parents) UNTIL NOW. Moving into our new home 7 years ago, we bought a top of the line, matching Kenmore Elite HE4 washer and dryer. They were more expensive than the competition, but looked great and had amazing features.The dryer had a recurring issue that took 4 service visits and approx. $500 in repairs. We thought, Must have got a rare lemon. But in December, the washer stopped mid-cycle with an ERROR F6. As good customers, we called Kenmore service and a repair technician came out to fix it. He switched out the Control Board. Next day, the washer stopped again, ERROR F6. A second repairman came out and replaced the Control Board Wire Harness. Two weeks later the washer stopped again and repairman came out to explain how we needed a Motor Control Board and new motor. THIS HAS HAPPENED SIX TIMES!!! And the washer is still not fixed.We were convinced early on that we should purchase a service protection plan from Kenmore and if they couldnt fix it, Kenmore would replace it. But as of today, they want to send out a SEVENTH service repairman to try to fix the issue. My wife and I have been on the customer service hotline for 3-4 hours collectively, and had to take off from work for six days and rearrange our schedule to accommodate Kenmores technicians on six different days (with six different technicians) with no resolution. Kenmore Customer Service continues to give us the runaround and will not replace the washer as promised through the service agreement, nor will they give us a managers name to resolve the issue. This has been the most infuriating experience of our lives. If Kenmore will not resolve this issue immediately, we intend to spread the word of our experience on every social media outlet we can find. Our friends and followers on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, Blogger and Instagram will soon know about our experience.

Kenmore Elite oven model#: 790.4107 - We broke the glass top and a serviceman just finished replacing the glass top and we noticed the glass door handle was loose. So he then begin tightening the oven door handle at the screws when the entire outside glass door cover exploded throwing glass on both of us and all across the room. It was obvious from looking at how the door was constructed that a design flaw was the cause BUT neither the manufacturer or Sears would accept responsibility And both said the other designed the oven and passed the blame on the other. Because we had no warranty or a Sears serviceman doing the job at $175.00 more, Sears refused accepting any fault but our own.

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.

The dishwasher does extremely well even on burnt on food. Removes grease with ease and rinses cleanly. It is so easy to operate that even my 10 year old uses it. Being the parent of two children and having a busy life the capacity of the dishwasher is very important. It hold all of our daily dishes and glasses in one wash cycle. The easy clean exterior of the dishwasher is very nice. The controls are not overly obvious and the appliance is eye catching. The interior shelves are nicely arranged and look good. The overall price of this dishwasher is very comparable to many others on the market, but unlike the others this product works very well. We have had no issues with this model.

My washer has been very durable and washes both small and large loads. I have had it for 6 years and never have had to service it. Clothes always come out clean and smelling great. Its very reliable. My washer is a plain white and average looking but does the job like any washer that costs twice as much. Its one of the best washers Ive ever owned over the past 30 years. The cost of my washer is very affordable compared to washers in the same price range. I rely on it to keep my clothes very clean and bright at a very reasonable price.

Lasted a long time before I purchased a new refrigerator. No problems with it until it was worn out. Reliable and freezer kept food well. It fit my needs at the time. With a family and grandkids, I needed something larger and I moved up to stainless steel. The freezer was a bit small, but it was appropriate for the fridge size. It was basic white refrigerator. Nothing exceptional, but it served the purpose for what I needed. It was easy to clean and maintain with mild soap and water. It was a good refrigerator for the price. It was comparable if not a bit better in the price range with similar models. Its a good choice if youre not ready for a more expensive stainless steel model.

About 2 years ago I bought the full elite kitchen appliances. BIG MISTAKE! Few months after installation of all appliances the dishwasher didnt clean well. Called for service. The idiot that came said my dishes were too clean then the fridge was leaking water by the water dispenser and another idiot said maybe we close it too hard then the double oven trapped moisture between the glass and the third idiot said because we are by the beach and its cold outside and the oven is hot - so the worst appliances service and all. I will never ever buy anything from sears ever again.

Large oven, heavy iron burner grills, timer, electronic lighters. Like it all except the push button controls for the oven etc. were not very sturdy and the mounts broke and had to re-enforce and remount the panel from the inside. Only one problem... That of the control panel mounting weakness. Have had a great experience with all my Kenmore products and see no reason not to continue buying them in the future when needed. The products are solid and the prices are very reasonable for a great dependable product.

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 purchased a Kenmore Elite double oven in 2012. After a few months of using it, the lower oven racks now fall down whenever I try to roast anything with any weight to it. Both the lower roasting rack and the middle racks do not stay in place. Only the top one is okay. It appears the sides of the oven have bowed out. I am not sure if this issue is going to be covered but it is clearly a manufacturing defect.

We have had this oven for 5 years. In the 5 years that we have had it it has had a minimum of 2 repairs. I clean it with the automatic cleaner and something burns out in the oven. The last time I needed to wait several weeks for the part and make a second appointment for 2 servicemen to come out to pull the oven out of the wall. It is so obvious that there is a flaw with this oven. Again, I made the mistake of using the automatic oven cleaner and I am again without an oven!! It is so frustrating and Sears suggested that I google it. Not the kind of service I expect. I will never buy a Sears product again. Very disappointing.

I bought my Kenmore range a few years ago and I smell gas especially when using the broiler. A serviceman did come out and also checked the oven temp. He said all was fine. I still smell gas when using the broiler for a few minutes. I must also preheat the oven long and set 5-20 degrees higher. Sears should have stuck with Kenmore, Craftsman, and their durable jeans. They started sending their work out and that was their downfall. What a shame!

This is the second electric oven I purchase from Kenmore. The first broke in 2 yrs... The second a yr.. I spend so much money... Still dont have a working stove.. its GARBAGE!!.. The same with 2 washer machine.. GARBAGE!!!!

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.

I was a little skeptical at first because of the model of the fridge. However as I later found out, the fridge fit more than I expected, worked better, and saved my family money. Its durable, long lasting, and has more than enough space to fit anything in your freezer, fridge or what have you. Its sleek, interesting and reminded me of a futuristic type of refrigerator which indicates to me that the future of fridges is bright. Though I thought this product would be way out of my price range but with the help of a salesman, this turned out to be an incredibly easy to pay for product. I would honestly recommend this fridge to anybody.

I have always purchased Kenmore appliances and I am terribly sorry they are defunct. My Kenmore washer is 35 years old, drier 30 years old... fridge 15 years old. I had to purchase a new stove two years ago and bought a Maytag for $2100. It lasted just two years and the computer system had to be replaced. $900 repair bill. Not happy about that.

The drum was a little smaller than I would have liked, so it required multiple loads to clean all of the clothes. But the multiple settings were nice and the machine washed my clothes well. My clothes never got caught in the mechanisms and the knobs are easy to clean if they happen to get soap on them. It was a very reliable washer. It didnt leak ever and never broke down. It has a sleek, clean look. Its white, though Id prefer black. The paint has chipped a little, but its not a huge deal. The overall value is excellent. The price is in the middle to upper range, but its effectiveness and consistency makes it worth it. Not being black lowers the value slightly in my eyes.

I own a 2005 Kenmore Gas Range Oven (Model: 790.786.73400). In the middle of the night, I heard a number of pops, and I discovered that the outer glass door on my Kenmore range shattered and sent glass across the kitchen. Sears response after an hour and a half was that there is no recall, their customer affairs will not accept the call because the product is six years old, and the earliest they can send a technician is a week (at my expense).

ANOTHER KENMORE 790 SERIES FRONT GLASS PANEL EXPLOSION! I have twice, in an approximately two-year period, had the same disturbing incident many others here have described. Twice, the entire glass front of the oven surface forcefully shattered all over the kitchen floor and adjacent room. When the first incident occurred, the company promptly replaced the glass front and assured us that this was an isolated incident. When the second incident occurred, the representative reported that someone would come to our home to replace the glass, but that we were twenty days out of warranty. Any expense would be ours. It is clear to me, a non-engineer, that the nature of the design is hugely flawed and very dangerous. Others of my friends have Kenmore ovens. While their handles meet a secure oven metal piece, our handle meets glass front surfacing. A heating temperature of as little as 350 degrees resulted in this near tragedy. I would not dare to try the self cleaning feature. While I have always been satisfied with Kenmore products, THIS OVEN IS A RISK TO YOU, YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR COMPANION ANIMALS. IT MUST BE RECALLED. Seeing the consistent number of unresolved complaints, we, the consumers, need to consider a class-action-suit. I NEED TO HEAR FROM AS MANY OF YOU WITH SIMILAR NEAR TRAGIC INCIDENTS AS POSSIBLE. I cant guarantee results, but it is clear that the Kenmore brand has callously ignored this risk to our health and safety.

Reasonable amount of time for cycle to be completed, clothes never came out ruin in any way, machine used a fair amount of water, but never exceed amount. Have use my Kenmore for years and have not had a problem yet, no problem of any kind, no dial slipping, no buttons sticking, no nothing. Received the machine I picked out without any dents or scratching marks on it. Same color all around, no fading. My Kenmore machine was not the cheapest but it was not the most expensive one either. It was the middle of the price range that I wanted to spend and I received everything I wanted on the machine.

My stove was just 4 years old and heating it up to cook the circuit board overheated and caught fire. Board and wires were burnt. Sears warranty was brutal to deal with. Its not a big deal - why investigate what caused it. It only caught fire!

My mother is a veteran of WWII but may be defeated by her Sears Kenmore oven. She has a model 790 in wall oven which is an obvious lemon. It will frequently fail to complete a cycle (shuts off before cooking is done) and has ruined several batches of food. The problem appears to be a computer control module. While I was there over the thanksgiving holiday it abruptly locked up (as though about to go into self clean mode) with the holiday turkey inside. Fortunately we were able to locate the plug and unplug the thing (which still did not unlock the oven, but at least the dinner was not incinerated). We were worried about a fire and are grateful that it did not happen while we were out of the room. She has had at least four failures in the last year, but since the problem is intermittent (only once was it still malfunctioning when the tech arrived) it cant be verified for warranty replacement. The available service calls are limited to two days a week by the company Sears contracted with, so almost impossible to get the problem solved. Calls to Sears for repairs are often unreturned. Parts are apparently hard to come by (the control module was replaced, for example, but the part was ordered in February, arrived in August). Really disappointed in Sears... I was raised as a Sears customer, but am alienated by the way they treated my mom and disgusted by the drop in reliability. Used to think I could count on them, but no more.

Good working stove. It is easy to use and very few people have complained about them. If there are problems with the stoves, theyre easy to repair. Kenmore is a well known name. It is trusted around the world. Other products of Kenmore have been good working and easy to use too.

My mom has had this model stove for a while but after the first year the racks started falling down. The oven expands and the racks fall down. Last thanksgiving I lost the bird and was pissed, almost burnt my entire arm. Now its an everyday occurrence these days to the point that anyone that tries to use the oven lose rack of items. Ive burn my hand twice, and my nieces and nephews are not allowed to use the oven. MY mother is 75 and had not had a new stove ever and she saved up years to buy this piece of **!!! VERY DANGEROUS OVEN. HOW COULD THEY NOT RECALL THIS DANGEROUS OVEN???? IT is a BIG safety hazard. Last year we called Sears and they would not help in any way. WHY would a company wait for LAWSUIT before they correct a problem. THIS IS SO VERY DANGEROUS FOR ANYONE TO USE. NEVER BUY KENMORE stoves. I will be posting this on my several twitter feeds and Facebook profiles. This is a terrible way to treat a senior citizen!!!!

I am writing for my friend Hunaida ** (phone **). She has just discovered, after several years of repeated calls and visits by the local gas company, about her stove! The stove is/has been listed on a recall. She is frantic with fear. She never received any letters or calls. What if it should explode! What can she do to protect and get a new stove? Sears says, “Sorry, lady, the time has run out! We cant do anything for you.” The stove does not work right.

We purchased a new Kenmore electric range. Within 4 years, the oven box had expanded from the oven heat so that the oven racks no longer fit but fall out of the grooves. When I contacted Sears, they refused to accept responsibility but said they could supply racks that fit at $106.00 + tax and shipping each. I ordered the racks, but they are the same size as the original and Sears said that they cannot help me. I am not alone. Many other consumers have had this same experience. This should never happen. Sears should recall these stoves due to the safety factor alone or at the least, provide wider racks even if we must pay for them to address the problem. I will never purchase another Sears appliance.

The Kenmore stove/range works okay. Not as good as their washer/dryers though. One burner on the stove has not worked properly from day one. Also the glass top burners take longer to heat up. I guess that is because it is energy efficient.

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.

Ive had this range for 6-7 years now. The motherboard was replaced 8 times in 4 years (fading, blinking, etc) and yet Sears would NOT replace it, they did extend my warranty one time, but its the absolute worst. If this range (Gas, Elite, Model 790) is not a lemon, I dont know what is. The repair guy (Mikey, on a first name basis because he was here so much) came to replace it one time and the one he brought, brand new, didnt work. I would never purchase another Sears product. Kenmore used to the Gold Standard and Sears used to be the King of customer service, no longer.

I purchased a complete line of Kenmore Elite products to furnish my new house in September 2010. Fast forward 1.5 years later, the indoor ice maker stopped working. I lived without ice for a while until I could find a good time to get a repairman out from Sears to fix it (2013). Now, the seals on the doors collect condensation and seem to build up a residue, special. Last night, I was surprised to have the exterior glass of my oven explode on to me whilst baking at 400. 400.... pretty average baking temp, nothing thrown at the oven, dropped on it, smacked to it, nothing. Just a surprise explosion and a cut to the shin from the tempered glass flying at me.

This very expensive electric range is inferior. The oven walls have warped to the point the racks fall down. They do not sit correctly in the oven and fall when you place trays of food on the rack. Very dangerous when a tray full of hot food falls when you are trying to move it. Control panel is now faulty and creating a toxin type smell and shutting the stove and oven down. I am basically afraid of my oven. Sears wants nothing to do with taking responsibility for these product defects. I will never again purchase a Kenmore product. Getting rid of the oven tomorrow and purchased a Whirlpool product. It pains me to not fight the battle but I cannot do without a working oven. I have also read so many other complaints similar to this one from other consumers. I will not recommend anyone to buy a Kenmore range.

I have had my Kenmore Range and Self Cleaning Oven for 16 years. The oven has convection and it’s so wonderful to be able to rapidly cook things fast and have them ready for my hungry family to eat. My stovetop works wonders to cook on. I am a Self proclaimed Chef. My friends and family are amazed at the food I prepare on my 16 year old Range and Oven.

Kenmore Elite range model no 790-4101-3801 - This is the second time that my oven would not heat up past 100 after using my self-cleaning oven. My son also had problems with sears on his kenmore elite electric range. Everyone, from Sears to the CPSC appears to not care when we call to tell them that the range Door Shattered leaving glass all over the kitchen floor. He had it fix and it happen again. The first time the warranty covered it because it was not even six months old. The second time he paid to have it fix and it shattered a third time and he asked for them to replace the range and they offer a $50.00 dollar gift card that he could use to purchase a new range. He now has a range that the oven cannot be use because it is not safe without the outer glass.And I wonder how safe is my Range that the self-cleaning oven clause my oven not to warm up past 100 degrees... My range that my oven will not heat up more than 100 degree cost me $1741.00. My sons range that the oven door shattered 3 times cost $1850.00. They are both now 5 years old. Sad that sears and kenmore will never have us as customers.

We have been pleased with our refrigerators performance – it has been reliable and efficient. We have plenty of room in the fridge and freezer and we like that we can rearrange the shelves if needed. We are able to fit everything we need in the fridge. There is a lot of usable space on the door too. We like the overall appearance of our refrigerator – the stainless steel finish matches our other appliances and makes the kitchen look nicer and less dated than it did. Large appliances are expensive but, in this case, we felt like it was a good investment because its a brand that we trust and have had good experience with in the past.

I feel Kenmore products are the best. I have a self-cleaning oven and the range is natural gas. Its reliable, about 12 years old, never had a problem. I would always use Kenmore and recommend this item to others.

I spent two hours trying to talk with someone that would help me find out if there is a recall on my range. The outside glass of my oven shattered in the middle of the night. Luckily no one was near the range. I had glass everywhere. I did notice on this site that there was a similar case on Aug 2, 2016, so I wanted to talk with someone to investigate this problem. After spending much time trying to talk to a real person then finally talking with a person that wanted to send a technician to diagnose what my range needed and the cost to have a technician come to my home would start at $89.00, I gave up and just ordered the glass. I am very worried that this has happened more than two times and someone could seriously get hurt.

The two-year old Kenmore stainless steel gas range I bought in November of 2010 was in the house. On August 7th 2011, I had opened the oven door and brushed against the corner edge and received a bad cut. It took 20 stitches to close it up. Has this happened to anyone before?

Ive had this microwave since October 2005. Its never been serviced. It is digital and very modern and sleek looking above the range by the same maker. The displays make it very user friendly. The options for different types of food prep are many. I just cant say enough good things about it.

I have been using this product for over a year now and it has been working very efficiently. When I load the dishes, the washer removes all food and stains in minutes and makes the dishes like plates, spoons and even big vessels absolutely clean. It states that it removes 99.99% bacteria while washing them. The dishes do not feel wet when I remove them. They are very dry and I do not need to wipe them with a cloth. It is larger in capacity than my previous dishwasher even though it looks smaller. There is plenty of room on the top rack for tall glassware and the top tray lifts and lowers for bigger pots. The sleek, nondescript stainless steel finish allows it to go with pretty much any brand of appliance that you may have in the rest of the kitchen. The top buttons are aesthetically pleasing. It looks good in my kitchen. This dishwasher was an excellent value and beat all other dishwashers in its price range. It has great price and it looks like it should have cost more.

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 purchased a Kenmore Gas Range Model 790.74419810 on September 6, 2019 from a local Sears store in Southern California as a gift for my niece. The appliance was not delivered to my niece until October 29, 2019. Just 29 days after having the appliance installed my niece was cooking Thanksgiving dinner on November 28, 2019 at 350 degrees when she heard a loud crash from the kitchen. She ran in the kitchen to discover that the inner oven door glass had shattered all over the inside of the range peppering Thanksgiving dinner with shards of hot glass. Her Thanksgiving dinner was completely ruined and the only thing she had to be thankful about was that her two year old son was nowhere near the shards of hot glass when the oven door glass shattered. After further research the day after Thanksgiving we learned that Sears has had this issue with Kenmore ranges ever since 2011 and numerous injuries have resulted over the past 8 years. Despite countless complaints to the CPSC Sears has chosen not to issue a recall nor take the affected model off the market. My wife and I attempted, on November 29, 2019, over the phone with the third party in India Sears has outsourced customer to, to acquire a refund for the obviously defective product but the only response we received was a technician would come out to verify that the glass had actually shattered.As a last resort to get some sort of satisfaction, my wife and I returned to the Sears store on Black Friday November 29, 2109 where we purchased the defective product and forced the store manager to pick up the defective range and refund our money. The Kenmore Gas Range Model 790 is a dangerous product that will soon severely injure someone. Sears is negligent and has with full knowledge continued to sell a dangerous and defective product and all the while focused on profit rather than safety. Please help save the public from this corporate greed.

My stove was in the house when I purchased it. It is a glass top range which I find easy to keep clean but I would prefer a gas stove if I had a choice. Kenmore appliances are good and this one works just fine.

Oven works well with excellent temperature control so whenever you set the temp to what is called for you get the proper result. The controls are easy to use, read, and operate. The oven timer is easy to set and use as well as the clock.

Kenmore oven Model 790.9745 - We purchased our house in July 2014 and didnt notice at the time that the front glass of the oven was missing. We ordered a new glass front, installed it and a few months later, the front glass exploded and went all over the kitchen. Then we realized that must have been why the glass was missing when we bought the house. We replaced the glass again and the other day the same thing happened. Three times in three years. Each time someone was standing near the oven while it was baking at 350 degrees when the glass exploded. We were lucky no one got hurt.It was unusual that the dogs or kids werent in the kitchen with us at the time as they usually are! In addition to the glass exploding three times that we know of, the control panel had a F-10 error which is run away temperature. The smoke detectors went off in the house to alert us to that problem due to the extreme heat coming from the oven. This oven needs to be recalled. It seems like this is a problem many people have had in reading the reviews!

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.

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 have an electric range from Kenmore. This stove/oven does a wonderful job with its cooking temps. Some electric stoves overheat and does not cook properly but Ive never had that issue with my Kenmore. I trust my stove to cook at the proper temps that I put it on. I really have no complaints as far as I can think of and Im happy with my ownership of Kenmore products.

We have had this for 4 years with no issues. Yesterday we had not used the microwave in several hours. Then my husband heard a pop in the kitchen. When we went out there the entire glass was shattered. There were small shards of glass on the stove and the floor. I have never heard of this happening. I googled it. That’s when I learned this happens if there is a defect in the glass. Thank goodness no one was in the kitchen or using the microwave at the time. A new microwave will cost less than the door will cost to replace. Go figure.

I purchased a Sears Kenmore elite glass top range in the December 2009. Just before Thanksgiving 2013 my mom had cook dinner using one of the burners on top. My sister and I were visiting with her and we left after she finished eating. She went to bed at that time and we left her alone in her house. About an hour later her dog woke her up and she realize that something was very wrong. She grabbed her dog and her cell phone and went outside. She called 911 and the fire department and the paramedics came. Her home was filled with carbon monoxide and the dog actually saved her life by waking her up.Even though my sister had checked the stove after she cooked dinner for my mother, the oven had turned on by itself while she was asleep. The Oven had not been used more than two or three times and almost 4 years of ownership. My mother was in the hospital for almost 3 days on oxygen to clear the carbon monoxide from her blood. If it had not been for her dog we would have been planning a funeral rather than Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.The oven is now with my insurance company at a laboratory for examination. I have read many, many stories about these ovens and stoves turning on and off the burners and ovens of at will. There was a recall in 2009 of 200,000 units. They must be waiting until the press or the liability is enough to do another recall. I put Kenmore appliances throughout the residence and I am very sorry for that now.

This stove worked very well until it didnt. Ive had to replace all heating coils several time and it still quits working at the worse of times. Every time Ive used the self-cleaning feature it burns out the oven elements. I do not recommend.

Love my Kenmore gas range w/ convection oven. It has five burners and the one in the center I can use with a flat grill pan. I bake a lot and the oven works and holds the temp great. The oven has a self-clean cycle that works great.

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?

I sent an e-mail a couple weeks ago with no response, so I contacted Kenmore yesterday regarding the self-cleaning of the gas range which left spots on the bottom of my oven. I did everything the manual stated to do and also took out the racks and self cleaned them myself. The representative on the phone told me to put a hot cloth with white vinegar over the area, and then I may have to rub the area, if that didnt work to take a razor blade and lightly go over area and the spots would be removed. After trying both methods neither worked. I phoned again and another representative told me she could have a tech come out the following day but it would cost me $75.00 or $39.00 a month to cover all appliances in the house. I told her absolutely not and informed her that I would not be purchasing anymore Kenmore products. Then out of curiosity I wondered how much the part would cost just to replace it and after researching on the internet the part was $60.00. So therefore I would have had a tech come out for $75.00 then probably charge me at least $100.00 for the part and to replace it, what a rip-off. Other customers please do research before falling for this scam.

I bought a refrigerator in my price range. I just wanted a nice reliable fridge for all my food and I would have liked the freezer to be bigger. I like the look of my Kenmore fridge on the outside and the room it had for all my food. It was very lightweight, sturdy and very durable. I loved the shelf space it had and the door space for meats, veggies and fruits. I loved that fridge. The only thing I would change is for it to be bigger and Id change the color because I like all black fridges.

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.

I recently noticed rust around the bleach dispenser of my Kenmore top loading washer Mod 796 2900 2000. I called Sears and was told to call the Rework department at 1-800-659-7026. I spoke to several folks to include John, Jose and Paul (no last name or employee number was given) and 2 out of three said there was a RECALL on this model number and one said there was not. The final person that I spoke to said there was a recall and actually scheduled a technician to come out and service my machine. I asked specifically, since this is under a recall I do not have to pay the service charge right? and I was told, that is correct. When the tech called to tell me he was coming he said he would have to charge me because this was not a covered call. I then called 1800-549-4505 and spoke to Zack. He told me that it is not a recall but a Service Flash (SF26-813). I was told that the Service flash covered the parts and all I was responsible for was the trip charge of $85-$89 and if you are given any problems have them call to this number (1800-469-4663) and reference the SF number. The tech called me back and again said he verified and was told that this was not covered and that I would have to be charged. I asked for their departments number so I can have the dept. that I spoke to talk to their dept. but they would not give the number. I called the 800-469-4663 and spoke to Anna (employee number **) and she said that she read off the notes from the last phone call that my washer was not covered because of the serial number range. So basically, Sears personnel are not all trained the same (leadership/management problem), because of this Sears/Kenmore wouldnt take care of a defective product that they sold me for a large amount of money. Granted, it is not under warranty any more but I thought the company would take care of a defective problem regardless because of their name and reputation. It probably would have been cheaper to fix a problem at somewhere around $200-$400 than to lose all the customers that this event is going to cause. I have made numerous phone calls to see if Sears/Kenmore would address this problem but to no avail. If you are considering buying a Kenmore appliance of any kind please do research beforehand and reconsider.

Its great. I would recommended it. Since I have had it, it has worked very well and has not let me down... not once. I have not had to get it fixed or anything and works as good as when first got it. Have no complaints and is good value for money. Doesnt spin loud like a lot of other washer and dryers. It just looks like any other average washer or dryer. It doesnt look horrible and comes with a wide range of choices such as colors, etc. Its not the cheapest brand but you get what you pay for. I would rather pay more and get a machine that I know works very well and is reliable.

Not satisfied with Kenmore products. I bought dishwasher, stove washer, and dryer from them. All my appliances have had issues. Thankful I bought outsource warranty company. Only they cannot cover refrigerator compressor. Said that it was covered by Sears. Now dealing with Sears warranty they want to charge 89.00 for service call. If they find more wrong they will charge me for the parts. Never will I buy from Sears ever again. When you call them you can barely understand what they are saying. They hung up on me because I want to talk with manager. After reading all the reviews I struggle what to do.

This dishwasher is very thorough and cleans so quietly I cant even hear it in the other room! A quick rinse is all I need before my Kenmore takes care of all the rest. Energy efficient and leaves my dishes sparkling clean! At 24 my dishwasher is compact enough that it leaves plenty of space for cupboards beneath the counter! Bowls, large plates, dishes and even space for all sorts of other sizes and even challenging sizes to boot! My Kenmore has a sleek and basic design that looks casual and classic without all of those buttons or knows. Plus, its easy to clean and comes in different styles; I like the simplicity of my white design! For overall value and the best price range for your budget, you truly do get the best bang for your buck with your new Kenmore washer.

Purchased oven in 2013. Worked well for a while, but now I am having a problem with the controls. Recently, the oven control panel has started flickering and will not completely shut down when the ovens timer reaches zero. Big disappointment!

Purchased a complete suite of appliances for my new kitchen 4 years ago. Major failure on the $3,800 fridge after 13 months, water pump, (2) door hinges and silverware basket on dishwasher, complete replacement of microwave and 5 repairs on the double wall oven. COMPLETE GARBAGE. WILL NEVER BUY KENMORE AGAIN!

This evening my elder father called to tell me that my mom set the oven to self-clean the day after Thanksgiving. She set the oven to self-clean and they went to bed. When they woke the next morning, the oven was very clean but now the stove top will not heat. I told them to unplug the thing until they can make sure that is not a hazard to operate. After all these complaints I am shocked to see so many customers having problems with the Kenmore ranges. My mother always bought Kenmore and when I bought my first and all homes since have been furnished with Kenmore and Whirlpool appliances. So sad to see that Sears is losing their special touch! Sears was always known for their customer service and customer satisfaction! Now with my parents thousands of miles away, I have to worry about their appliances blowing up.

This Kenmore fridge ended up fitting just right to my apartment which fights for space. I was recommended to it by my parents who had a good experience. It did meet my price range based on other brands and the large freezer was a good selling point. I like the ice maker and ease of filtered water. The shelves on the door had great storage options for smalls jars that could not fit anywhere else and the size of the drawers and shelf height were good as well. However, the width of the fridge was awkward, but Im sure there are many odd-sized spaces in different homes. And I didnt like the design of the outside of the fridge. It was ugly and didnt have good color options. Nonetheless, I would buy again.

My wife bought this microwave oven in 2014. It came with a set of dishwasher and oven. We have been using for a long time without having any problems. Thats why I gave it such a high rating. The price was not bad. I would refer it to anybody who was looking for a nice microwave oven.

Kenmore Range Model 790.94452701 - The control board burned up 3 times in 7 years. We were afraid to leave the oven on and go outside for fear of the house burning down. Two times when it burned up it caused the oven to heat well over 500 degrees. Each time it burned up there were burnt wires and smoke. Replacing the board is easy, but not cheap and very inconvenient. We decided to purchase a new range rather than fix our Kenmore for the fourth time. Suffice to say it isnt a Kenmore.

We bought the Sears Kenmore Elite double wall oven and the problem is that every time you cycle the oven through the clean cycle, the oven will not work. This has happened 3 times already where you have to pull the oven out of the wall (enclosure) and hit or replace the thermal switch to make the oven work. We have insurance through Consumers Power and they come out for the fix but there is definitely a serious design flaw with the oven. I called Sears and they said, the 1-yr. warranty is expired, and, have a nice day. We are never again purchasing from Sears.

I have owned Kenmore appliances, including freezers, refrigerators, stoves and washer dryers for almost 40 years. They are well-built, energy efficient and made in America. Their quality has remained a hallmark in the industry for generations. They are modern and technologically advanced and are built to last. They give you years of worry free service and a good value for your money. My family have bought Kenmore appliances from Sears for generations and we will continue to do so. I would recommend Kenmore to all cost conscious, quality seeking appliance shopper and not hesitate to stand behind Kenmore.

Just purchased a gas convection style freestanding oven Model# 790-74239311. After first week light bulb in oven burnt out. Finally replaced last week and it just burnt out again. What gives? I have been very satisfied with the baking performance, but cant bake in a dark oven!!!

On opening the Kenmore convection wall oven door, the handle was loose and when I pulled on it, the entire glass door shattered, cutting my hand, ruining food on the counter, spraying glass as far as 12 from the oven. Using a whisk broom, regular broom and the vacuum, we were able to get most of the glass up and then we washed all of the kitchen rugs. If a small child or one of our pets had been next to me, some serious harm may have resulted. I have read about other customers having this problem and that replacing the door is not a safe option - it can happen again. Its a serious design flaw.I have spent at least an hour or two so far on the phone with Sears and Kenmore, last night immediately after the explosion and then again this morning. They are willing to send a repair tech to assess the problem at a cost to me of $99 because I have no extended warranty. NOT FAIR! This is their problem and they should offer ways to replace the oven with a better design or recompense me so that I can get a safe oven.

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...

Oven exceeded expectations. Meat roasts beautifully. Rolls brown to perfection. Cakes and breads bake uniformly. Potatoes tender inside and crispy outside. Vegetables roast well. Oven cleans well. Stove top performs well. Kenmore is a trusted brand. I have a Kenmore microwave oven that’s lasted for four years. I highly recommend Kenmore ovens and microwaves.

I should have rated the stove at 5 but I did 4 for selfish reasons. I have had this stove for 15 years and all of the featured functions still work. I’m very satisfied with with the outcome of this stove. The only thing is that after this long time of usage it tends to make an odd sound when it is overheated. It sounds like a fan blowing. Otherwise it works very well.

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

We have the Kenmore range model 790. It is five years old and has died. We tried having it serviced by Sears and they told us that they no longer service Vail, Co. We put our money and faith in their product and are disappointed in the response. This stove is not worth buying nor will we further shop at Sears or purchase any of their products. They do not stand behind them!

2 years ago we bought a Kenmore oven. After several months of having it, I decided to use the self cleaning option. Our oven had no built up grease, and it really wasnt dirty because I take really good care of my things. I read the directions and proceeded. I have done this many times before with other stoves and no problems. After an hour I started smelling an odd odor. My husband said, that is normal, that is the cleaning odor you are smelling from the burn off of the cleaning process. I said I know that smell you are talking about and this seems different. It smells like burning wires or rubber. He said dont worry. After 1 1/2 hours it looked like there was smoke in the kitchen and I said I was too scared to leave the oven on, and the smell just got worse. I shut the stove off and waited until you were allowed to open it. The very top of door turned a yellow brown and the seal around the glass on the inside oven door melted. I am horrified to think what would of happened if I kept the stove on the time the manual said to? I have never used the self cleaning option again. Sears refused to do anything about it. We wanted the door replaced and they suggested a fifty dollar gift card instead! We are now having to replace this stove because I am afraid to use it. Several times after that sometimes when you would turn it on, there would be an unexplained smell, like burning. I was really scared the other day, I turned it on to my normal cooking temp. of 350 and it smelled like wires burning. I quickly turned it off and will now never buy a Kenmore or a stove from Sears again!!!

We bought the Kenmore elite refrig. and electric cook stove. Both a piece of junk. Have had 3 yrs now and nothing but trouble... Refrig, compressor, blowers and other things have went out. The cook stove the panels kept going out, which we have gotten rid of and went back to our gas stove. The refrig. has another problem. It is showing the error F1. They will be out tomorrow to check it and it has only been about 3 months since the compressor and blowers were fixed... We are also having problem with the bottom freezer compartment. It keeps coming off its track... I recommend not spending your hard earned money on these two products... They are junk.

Well the plastic disk in the roof of my oven is melting and has burn marks. We dont have a warranty or service contract with Sears so they want to charge us $249 to come and LOOK at it. Hello, our microwave is melting and burning inside and this is OUR issue? Sounds like a serious defect. Someone wrote in the Sears website with the same question and it was never answered. So I know I cant be alone in this melting disk microwave issue. Kenmore, WTH!? Will NOT buy from Sears or Kenmore.

My wife was baking cookies in our Kenmore oven. Thankfully she, her friend, and both of our kids were not standing near it. All of a sudden, for no apparent reason, the glass on the oven door exploded violently sending pieces of glass flying up to 10 feet away from the oven. Fortunately, our kitchen island took the brunt of the explosion. We were amazed to find thousands of pieces of glass lying on our kitchen floor.
