Kenmore electric range, Model 790.92809012 (6-years old) encountered F10 error (run-away temperature). I set range temperature to 170 degrees for one hour. Our house filled w/ smoke, smoke alarms went off. If our Son had not been home, our pet bird would have died and our grandsons inhaled a lot of smoke. Please remove this range from inventory; extremely dangerous appliance - almost cost lives. Where can I go to get a refund - or replacement model? We are warning our homeowners insurance company of the danger of this product.

We are trying to prepare our Thanksgiving pies, and simply open the oven door to place the pies inside and POP! Nothing made contact with the glass, it simply shattered all over the floor. My oven door looks just like all the others here, so tell me its not a manufacturers defect. Every appliance Ive purchased in the last ten years has been shoddily built somewhere other than America. I say let Americans build something again. The closer they are, the more likely it is I can kick them when my expensive junk breaks!

I really liked its price and its finishes that looked good material and high quality. It was a bargain and a good value for my money that I could invest. It is a very reliable refrigerator, small but does its functions well that are to cool and freeze my products. To be a mid-range brand it worked well for me. The fact that its doors are small is what displeases me about the model. I would have liked some doors more in line with my needs that would occupy more space for the products.

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.

Motherboard causes oven to overheat to the point it could cause a fire.

I have had this stove for a long time and had no problems with it. It work great. I love it. I use it every day. It was a good buy from Sears. I would tell my friends to buy one. It come with a warranty when you buy it from sears. It is a good brand.

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.

The over-the-range Kenmore microwave caught on fire where the rack attaches to the internal framing. I called Sears and was passed along to FIVE different people all saying that there is no recall on this model (80323 model # 79080323310; serial #KG 60953623). Clearly there is a problem and Sears/Kenmore is not willing to acknowledge a faulty product. I have found similar examples from other customers where the microwave caught on fire in exactly the same location - where the rack inserts into the internal framing. FAULTY PRODUCT! DO NOT BUY THIS MODEL!!

Had it for several years. Has worked perfectly. Mother bought and now I have it. Has been clean many times. I remember many holidays and family get togethers. It cleans up easily and has been in many a picture as our family gathered in Moms kitchen. I have also owned a Kenmore stove. It lasted so long I could no longer find parts for it.

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.

This Kenmore range was purchased from Sears Canada 31 years ago. It has only needed three repairs in all that time - one burner had to be replaced, the control knobs were replaced (more cosmetic than repair) and one of the wheels came off the warming drawer. It still looks good, with the enamel intact, control panel intact and burner rings good. The only complaint Ive ever had about it is the material used for the control panel is hard to keep clean-looking. You cant just wipe it down with a dishcloth, it needs window cleaner to look clean.

Kenmore Elite Double Oven Range 7909731 - I would rate this and Sears customer service at -0- stars if I could. Purchased this range in November 2016. I do a good bit of baking, so paid to upgrade to Kenmore Elite convection double oven. I have purchased Kenmore appliances for over 25 years with no issues. This will be the last one. Began having issues with the convection ovens fan not working or maintaining temperature in December. Raw AND burned cookies. First service call in January. I was told there was nothing wrong with the temperature after the tech shot his laser thermometer in there to check, says I have to wait 15 minutes after the oven SAYS its preheated to the set temperature and that I shouldnt put more than one thing in the oven... what? Thats why you pay more for convection!He replaced some screws that were sitting in the bottom and left. Whatever... tried baking muffins didnt rise, raw middles and burnt outsides. 2nd service call. The day tech was supposed to be there calls and says not coming, will order a new control panel and reschedule. After replacement, baking takes at least 20 minutes longer than recipe indicates, overbrowning outside. 3rd service call. This tech tells me the oven is 25 degrees over what it should be and recalibrated. Next baking attempt, the temperature decreases to 180. Ok, Im thinking maybe I hit something. Next day, baking again. Preheats to 350 and then starts beeping, flashing error codes FJ5. a locked and a 9 with ... Call Sears, tech scheduled for next day between 8 am and 5 pm, will call 30 minutes before arriving. Calls me in driveway and says he will not wait, will not come back and they are not allowed to call before the first call. Was on the phone at least 6 times with Sears customer service. When the tech comes back 5 DAYS LATER, hes never heard of the error codes and is ordering the same control panel that was replaced 6 months ago. This is ridiculous. I will never buy from Sears again. The lack of customer service is appalling.

I am really happy with my Kenmore. It is a trusted name and its a great appliance to own. I bought it because it was affordable and easily obtainable in all income ranges. It had a great appearance too. It has had many looks and works well. I like the style and appearance of it. It is perfect the way it is. Please don’t change it and hike the price up. Affordability is most important. I’ve had it a long time and would purchase again if the need arises.

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.

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

This dishwasher has provided a good dishwashing experience and has performed as expected. It cleans and dries the dishes dependably, with only rare missteps. It runs efficiently and saves energy and water. It is perfectly sized for the space in our counter area, and fits snugly with no gaps. The dishwasher interior easily holds a large amount of dishes, if properly arranged. It has a nice, simple, clean design. The sterling silver and black complement other appliances of similar design, even those made by other manufacturers. When considering the performance in relation to its cost, its a great value.

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.

This is the worst stove I have ever had, the oven control panel went out one year and two weeks after purchase from Sears, replaced the oven panel cost over $100.00. One year later it has gone out again. BAD BAD STOVE... DO Not buy this stove.

The microwave has multiple options and looks very nice. It heats the contents to my desired level and the turntable and size of the oven is very useful. The cost of the item was very reasonable considering the amount of options along with the quality of the oven.

It works extremely well. We hardly ever need to pre-wash our dishes. Everything comes out clean and not greasy. It runs quietly and is not bad at all. I love it. It fits all the dishes I need it to. There is room for everything and lots of ways to rearrange the shelves. I have not problem getting my largest pots and pans in to be washed. It is nice and sleek. The stainless steel appearance is gorgeous. It fits well with our other appliances. It is easy to clean and does not show much dirt to begin with. I think that the price was very reasonable. It wasnt the most expensive nor the cheapest dishwasher available. The price was right and we have gotten our moneys worth.

We had our Kenmore electric range for only 3 years when the oven temperature broke. After getting a technician to replace the sensor probe, we learned the entire electronic control board needed to be replaced as the oven continued to overheat. The cost of replacing this part was too expensive so after just 3 years we need to buy a new range. I WILL NEVER buy a Kenmore product again.

My Kenmore Built-in oven is a workhorse. I have had one service call in 16 years of using it, and that was due to something I did wrong. I dont know how old it is, but it was built in when we bought the house in 1999. They may no longer be as good, but one can hope.

The broiler on my Kenmore smooth-top electric range came on by itself and superheated. Didnt know this happened until house filled with smoke and toxic fumes. Nothing showed on stove display and cancel/off would not work. Had to pull out stove from nook and unplug to make it stop. House smelled like burnt plastic and wiring for days. Stove was only 7 yrs old and not used much by single person. Tried plugging it back in after stove had cooled down and same thing happened. Could have burned house down. Extremely dangerous malfunction!

After building a new house, we decided to get a nice stove and bought the Kenmore Elite 790, plus Kenmore microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator (all stainless). The stove has been a disappointment ever since. Top burners seem to have very little control. Oven has never worked right. Sometimes when baking, it switches to broil and burns food. Sometimes when it switches, it overheats and an error code displays. Sometimes, you put on bake, and the broiler comes on. Yesterday, the inner burner of the triple burner quit working. Besides that, we have only had to replace the control panel on the dishwasher. I think I would prefer non-electronic controls on stoves and dishwashers; older stove controls lasted forever. Anyway, my next stove will not be a Kenmore. Spend all that money on that piece of junk.

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.

Kenmore Ultra Bake Super Capacity Free Standing Gas Oven - Our oven stopped working right before Thanksgiving of 2012. It would not hold a temperature or even turn on at times. We had the control panel replaced for $300, and it got us through Thanksgiving. The oven originally cost $600 so to replace the control panel was very expensive. Right after Thanksgiving, it began to work inconsistently again. Our most recent incident was where the oven stayed on and increased the heat even though we turned it off and the control panel said that the oven was off. The gas was still on and clearly, the oven was increasing in temperature. We then got the error message E2-F3 which is the warning that it was too hot. We could not get it to turn off so we called the gas company to come right away. The gas man that showed up said that if we had cut the power to the house, the gas would have remained on unless we turned the gas valve off as well. This stove is too dangerous to keep. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

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.

The range that I had bought only lasted 8 years. The self cleaning oven ruined my range. That is what the repairman told me. I bought the one year service agreement, so when Sears could not fix the range, I got $500.00 toward a new one. That money was meaningless when we went into the store to buy a new one. When the installer that is contracted out by Sears installed my new range, he talked me into buying a new plug for $50.00, and then left the box that the new range came in for me to dispose of in my trash. He did take the old range, and said he would dispose of it by scraping it. They usually get about $25.00 for scrap. Most of my Sears appliances have needed repair work within the first two years. So I do advise getting the extended warranties. The quality of Sears appliances are not that great. But you get what you pay for!

It works well for us. It is a spare refrigerator for our garage. No performance concerns. Temp stays cold and havent experienced any problems so far. We use this mainly for beverages. So for our use, the size is sufficient. May be a bit small if a family is using as their only refrigerator. So obviously it isnt anything too fancy. However, it has a nice clean look. Matches other white appliances nicely. No complaints from me. Very good value for a midrange refrigerator. Again, this is what we use in our garage for beverages and some additional storage on holidays and such. Pleased with this refrigerator.

When my stove was less than 2 months old, I did a self clean and it destroyed my oven, couldn’t even see through the glass. It actually looks like someone sprayed it down with mud then baked it on. They replaced the glass. 2 months later I did another self clean and the same problem. Can’t get sears or Trans Global to help me with this, they say I should of cleaned my oven before I self cleaned my oven. I WILL NEVER BUY KENMORE AGAIN!!!

I am very dissatisfied with Sears. I believe that the quality of your appliances has declined & you are selling service contracts that you cant honor. I have bought Sears products for years & have seen a steady decline in the products & the services. I have had difficulty with my kitchen range & a service contract on my refrigerator, & a lawn tractor. I have waited for a service call for weeks, then the service people are late, or they cancel repeatedly. I have had multiple calls for my Kenmore Elite dual fuel kitchen range, which I believe constitutes a lemon & should be replaced. I have called Sears a number of times & spoken with people in supervisory positions, to no avail. I have decided to go public to warn others.

I purchased a Kenmore glass top range ten years ago. It had everything that I wanted from a self cleaning feature, warming drawer, warming stove top burner to name a few. However, the first thing I had a problem with was the screws to the door handles were in constant need of tightening, then the area around the front of the handle cracked. I use my oven less than 6 times a week on average and only once a day.The other day, while waiting for my oven to preheat, there was an explosion, the door flew open and the inside of the oven was on fire. We managed to get it under control without having to call 911. And we were able to shut the oven off at the stove top (reading other reviews, people had to shut it off at the breaker). My house was full of smoke. Needless to say, I am in shock and horror over this situation. I cant for the life of me figure out why this happened. What if I were using the self cleaning mode? The oven would have been on lock!!! So I guess it would have blown the door off?I will not consider repairing the oven, nor will I consider another Kenmore appliance of any kind. I had also purchased a Kenmore dishwasher which never washed the dishes that well from the start and parts were cheaply made. We replaced that in 5 years time. I resent spending my hard earned money on junk that doesnt function well when you have it and it has to be replaced every 5 years. I have a 30 year old fridge in my basement and never had an issue with it - which is the way it used to be. You replaced those items because you wanted to update style and technology - not because it caught on fire and potentially could have burned the house down. What is more disturbing is that there are plenty of the same complaints on here about the fires and nothing has been done about it.

The Kenmore Electric Range model #790.9011 is a traditional coil top stove that I purchased in 2011. Within 2 years of this brand new purchase I had to replace a burner fuse. The part costs $30. Within 5 years, there was a flash of light and a small explosion at the oven control panel and then it went blank. The part cost $170 to replace, assuming that would fix it, according to a parts store expert (he was a former repairman). I didnt think it was worth replacing and had to get a new range. The warranty was for only one year on the Kenmore and according to a store salesman all range brands only have a one year warranty today too. Manufacturers online claim that these types of ranges should last about 16 years. I have since found out that although the latest version of this Kenmore stove rates well with Consumer Reports, it is made by Electrolux, which has a poor repair history and poor brand reliability, according to Consumer Reports. It looks exactly like the Kenmore I bought 5 years ago. I wonder if the Kenmore I purchased in 2011 was also an Electrolux model. I definitely dont recommend the Kenmore Electric Range.

Bought this fridge and matching stove 3yrs ago. I purchased this brand, as did much research on reviews of Kenmore. With that and feeling Sears had a quality product, I purchased them. Three years later, my fridge went totally out. I had no reason to think a Kenmore would crash in 3 years. Threw out hundreds of dollars in food. And this is where things go horribly wrong.There is no longer a warranty, it’s only a year. Sears wants $1700 to repair. I don’t have a $$ tree in my yard. So then I bought a Choice Home warranty. The rep on the phone said, No worries ma’am, this is covered. I told him it was already out. Waited my 30 days, and filed a claim. They send out the same tech as Sears. He’s in the house 3 minutes, tops. Calls me to say they won’t cover it. Pre-existing condition. I’ve now paid for 2 service calls. And no working fridge still.I turn to Kenmore and reach out for help. I gave them 2 voices, either fix my fridge for free or replace with a comparable fridge to what I have. The man chose to repair it. Five phone calls later, Yes it’s in your file, diagnostic fee waived, no charges on parts and labor. But, yesterday, the tech calls wanting to know if I still want him there. He has no paperwork that there’s no charge. Mind you, Kenmore set this up and supposedly wrote notes. I called Kenmore. Oh yes, it’s right here, no charges. He says, I’ll send this over for your tech. Hours later, he don’t have this to come fix it. I call back. Now, this guy says he has no access to those notes and wants to transfer me to another department. I still have no working fridge. I’ve contacted 2 local tv stations to look into my story, and hopefully get it fixed. Buyer beware. Buy another brand, not a Kenmore Elite. It was priced just under $3000. Not worth it.

The oven door (8 years old) just fell off and shattered onto my kitchen floor. A lot of work to clean up and I have no idea how to replace it.

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.

It is an awesome product and is very easy to clean. Wipes down easily. Temperature Tunes down right away. And the oven works really well. I have always loved this brand. They are fairly inexpensive. And they never disappoint.

Our Kenmore (aka Whirlpool) front load washer, model C4810, purchased July 2010 requires a nearly $400 computer replacement. Sears charges $84 (with tax) to have a technician tell us it will require a $400 repair, then very generously offers us a $75 coupon toward a new washer ($1,000 or over). What a slap in the face this offer is! Especially after purchasing four major appliances from Sears three years ago (along with numerous items since). Our gas stove (Kenmore) and refrigerator (Whirlpool) are starting to show many issues as well. I cant understand how Kenmore/Whirlpool can be top rated in Consumers Reports and etc. They can have their coupon. Ill go with a domestically made lesser known washer this time around. Same for the other appliances when they go.

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.

Kenmore Elite model 790.9912 - We purchased this electric range from Sears almost 10 years ago. A few years back, the computer panel malfunctioned, and had to be replaced. Yesterday while making dinner, I had the oven set at 300 degrees, and I had one of the burners set at 5.5. Suddenly I heard a noise like a buzzing sound and then a pop, and the entire width of the back of the range went up in flames. I shut the burner off, and the fire went out. The oven got so hot that the door locked as it does in the self-cleaning mode, and we are unable to open it. The wall behind the range is charred, and the wiring behind the range is entirely burned. We called Sears and explained what happened. The sales representative said “Well it is almost ten years old.”

Purchased range oven from Sears a Kenmore. Do not buy - it basically exploded, made a big popping noise and they refused to warranty it. The women on the phone was rude and refused to let me speak to a supervisor. No wonder they are closing Sears stores. Their products have really gone downhill. I am so disappointed. I have always purchased my appliances at Sears. Will never do that again.

Safety hazard - The design of the oven door is not safe. With the door open Thanksgiving morning, I walked into the door and the extremely sharp edge gashed my left leg causing me to have to have 12 stitches. I am attaching photos of my leg and also photos of the door of the stove.

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.

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.

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.

Kenmore Elite 75339 - After about 3 weeks of using this range we realized that it was leaking gas. Had a service consultant from the gas company come out to sniff for leaks and he informed us it was leaking from the regulator and 2 of the burners. He told us this was the 4th or 5th Oven he had seen leaking like ours. We called Sears to have the oven exchanged and they setup another delivery for a few days later. After waiting about an hour or so after their so called scheduled delivery was suppose to be I called to find out where they were. The delivery consultant informed us that the new oven they were suppose to deliver was also damaged and that they needed to reschedule another delivery. Sears couldnt even be bothered to call and let us know. At this point we are just trying to get a refund. Enough is enough. Trying to navigate Sears customer service seems to be a battle all on its own. Its no wonder with customer service this terrible why the company is such a bad financial situation. Save yourself A LOT of hassle and buy something other than this range and save yourself even more hassle by shopping somewhere other than Sears.

I purchased this stove (Kenmore Elite Range 79078303013) a couple of years ago. I called to order a replacement part and received the wrong one. Just to get a return label to return the wrong part and get the new one has taken 5 phone calls and over 5 hours on the phone in different occasions! So I called again to replacement the part and its no longer manufactured! I am being sold a replacement part for 3 times of its original price. I am very disappointed with the quality of the product. Did I mentioned I purchased a stainless steel range for it to have Plastic all around it? I hate it!!! I feel cheated on this purchase. I didnt notice it was plastic top range trim on the stove until it Broke. By that time it was too late to return. I cook a lot, when ever you use the oven and stove it brakes with the heat. After all its plastic. After spending 3 hours just today to order part and sure it will fit no solution was made. When I ASKED TO TALK TO A SUPERVISOR OR MANAGER I NEVER GOT TO. Waited over 2 hours just to find my call dropped or accidentally disconnected. Over all I will never purchase from Sears ever again!! This stove is not near a Stainless steel stove. My part was never ordered or my questions were never answered. I have a stove with broken trim fairly new.

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.

I own a Kenmore Range Model # 790.97453804. Its about 5 years old. Last night just after dinner the glass on the front of the door exploded! Shattering into pieces all over our kitchen for no apparent reason. I contacted two numbers, one for Sears, and one for Kenmore. Neither customer service person would do anything to listen to my problem or what happened. Like little programmed robots they repeated over and over it is out of warranty and they will send a technician out to assess what needs to be fixed at which time I can pay them for the repairs plus labor or pay for the service call. I decided to go online and order the parts myself. During the course of conversation with the repair specialist I find out: 1) This is a known issue. 2) The stove was manufactured by Frigidaire. 3) Its an issue with insulation in the door frame (part #7 on the diagram of the door). 4) The manufacturer recommends you replace it every 18 months. To which I responded, and how are we supposed to know that? Technician responded I am the parts specialist and we have the resources from the manufacturer. Its extremely sad that something as dangerous as this can continue and nobody is doing anything about the defective product.

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.

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.

I bought my Kenmore Elite Slide in then end of March 2010. It was beautiful. I had it about 2 or 3 weeks and made a lasagna. The rack fell down. It made a mess. I wiped it up as best I could and waited a couple of weeks to run the clean cycle. Our oldest was graduating and I wanted to show off my new kitchen with a clean oven. The clean cycle worked fine but afterwards it would not heat. It took the repairman over six weeks to come out and then another three months to put in a new part. This happened two more times since then. The last time I told the repairman I was going to run a clean cycle as soon as he left, I did and afterward it worked. Yeah! We replaced two of the racks also. My turkey fell out at Thanksgiving, my primerib at Christmas. I cleaned the oven again Dec 27,2011 and the repairman is supposed to come today. I paid over $2300 for this oven. I thought I was purchasing a top of the line product. I feel I should be able to clean it everyday if I want and I shouldnt have to worry about myself or my family being severely burned and maimed making a meal.

Its louder than we expected (partly because it resonates within the cupboards its next to) and recently has started to leak -- not from mechanical issues that we can observe, but based on the type of detergent we use in it. Ball/pod detergents seem to be incomparable with it. Otherwise its performed reliably and done its job. We knew what we were buying and were already assuming wed replace it a few years into owning the home. Fits enough items that we can usually clear one side of the sink if not both; for larger pots and pans we sometimes cant fit everything in one cycle. Very nice looking for a mid-range model; matches well with our other appliances and isnt as susceptible to fingerprints as other stainless items weve owned. We got what we paid for -- not saying its not a fair value for a builder model but rather that we knew the level of quality we were getting and assumed wed need to upgrade in a few years. Cheaper to do that ourselves than through the home studio/builder.

The washer is great performance because it wash your clothes so good then take the stains out and wash your clothes very quick. I love this washer. Have it for 5 years and loved every loads I wash. This washer is very reliable. Have a warranty on it so if it act up I will get a replacement but right now it still working great. Im going get the dryer sooner. The appearance is very nice when I first got it and it was easy to worked it and know what to do when washing your clothes in loads. Im telling everyone to get this dryer if they in need of a good dryer. The value of this dryer is very low price. There are a lot of dryer on sale but do your research online and you will see which dryer you want to buy with the right price range.

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.

In the fall of 2017, we underwent a kitchen remodel and as part of that, had a Kenmore Electric Built-In Oven Model 790.4942 installed. So, it is only barely over a year old. Since the beginning we have had issues with it. The first time I used the self-clean function, about 3 months after installation, large brown spots appeared between the inner and outer glass on the front of the oven. A technician came out and said this was the result of using the self-clean function and not to use it! He said it was a problem and he didnt know why Kenmore kept using this function, with the same result!Since then, I had food consistently undercooked and purchased an oven thermometer. After following the instructions, I found that if setting the oven for 350 degrees, it only came to 325 degrees, so I followed the instructions to re-calibrate it, by upping the temperature 20 degrees. Then, things were cooking through, but scorching/burning on the bottom, so once again I used the oven thermometer and it indicated that although the oven was set for 350 degrees, it was now cooking at 375 degrees! I cant seem to get it right and Im frustrated. We paid $1,000 for this oven and it is not nearly as good or efficient as my GE 13 year old oven in the house I previously lived in!

Purchased about 13 years ago so I realize things can start going wrong. This was my first (and last) glass top range as I had always wanted one. The heating is not stable. Of course being electric, it does turn itself on and off but that just regulates the temp of the element not your pan. Hard to keep clean especially if you spill something that has sugar in it, like bbq sauce, and it burns on as you still have to cook and burner takes a while to cool. I grew up using gas stove/oven at home. Upon moving around, I have come to get used to electric and when glass tops came along, I really wanted one. I am over it now. Ready to get gas back.

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.

I have not been able to speak to anyone. I have sent an e mail. My five year old oven/range sent a huge spark out of the circuit board when I turned on the burner with the slow cooker. All inoperable now, no oven or burners. As I live alone, this was hardly used, as a family would use the oven.

All my appliances have been Kenmore all my adult life. I own a washer, dryer, refrigerator, stove, dishwasher and freezer that is 25 years old. I have never had a problem with any of my appliances. (Knock on wood!!)

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is third Kenmore oven electric s/c. First one went into self-clean on its own, nearly burned the house down and completely charred the whole oven. Second one had two major board failures, resulting in the third. This one may or may not respond to control inputs. No more Sears stuff, ever.

Kenmore Elite model 790.9750 - Purchased this Kenmore Double Oven from Sears in 2011. The bottom oven racks are not holding and the ridges that hold the racks have rusted. This is dangerous as it causes hot messy spills and burns when the racks and pans fall to bottom. Sears and Kenmore both deny it is a problem and one sends me to other with complaint. I know this is a problem for many of us consumers that bought these ovens. Frustrated.

Kenmore Oasis Elite washing machine - F1 error message led me to do research online. After phone calls to Sears, I had to do my own homework. Found that there was a recall notification for serial# in range of CT01 thru CT49 which mine is. Model is 110 27092600. After many phone calls etc they said yes it is recalled due to the common F1 error message but that I have to pay for the repairs... WHAT!? Their product fails and so many of these washing machines failed that they had to do a recall but we the consumers have to pay for it? Never ever will I shop with Sears nor will I buy a Kenmore product even though I am in need of a new dryer, microwave/wall oven combo, and dishwasher.... oh and now a new washing machine or repair!

This stove/oven was actually purchased by my mother. She loved Kenmore products. The item in my opinion is okay and I have no problems with its performance. Its just not the appliance I myself would have purchased.

I purchased a Kenmore brand oven approximately four years ago and this evening while preparing dinner, the glass door shattered all over my kitchen. I now see at least 100 online complaints for the exact same issue. I plan to visit my Sears store tomorrow but am not hopeful after seeing the anger and frustration of those with a similar experience.

I purchased Kenmore Elite smooth top range in January 2013. In April 2013, I had the oven set on 350 degrees to cook meatloaf. I opened the oven door to insert food and the glass on the door exploded all over my feet and the floor. The repair person said this happens often, usually during self-cleaning. Thank God, it is under warranty but I wonder how long it will last. I am afraid to use the self-cleaning feature.

I rent my home so I didnt buy this stove but I use it pretty much every day. Its a white Kenmore, ceramic top with 4 burners. One of those is a double burner. I just did the self cleaning on it, which took 3 hours (not as long as some ovens). It burned off pretty much everything but left some crusties between the crack of the door and the oven but other than that it cleaned itself great (I just had to wipe the ash out). The top is fairly easy to clean but to get the ceramic really clean and shiny I use the Kenmore cooktop ceramic cleaner. Its wonderful.

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.

My Kenmore oven smells like burning wires when I use it. I see other consumers have similar complaints against Sears. My local power company has also just installed Smart Meters and the meters are causing some consumer stoves to burn out electrically. Has anyone else had their Sears Kenmore appliances malfunction just when the meters came along?

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.

I have a 2007 Kenmore stove (model number 790.46729700 NF 74118261) which has had to be repaired three times for the same problem after a power surge. The unit has to be re calibrated. Enclosed are the repair receipts for this work (totaling $299) which occurred on 2/18/10, 1/25/2011 and most recently on 1/26/2012. There is something terribly wrong with the stove and that should be corrected by Electrolux, who I understand is the manufacturer of the unit. I now find out that there is a simple procedure that can be done to correct this problem, but it is not listed in the manual that came with the stove. I am requesting to be reimbursed the $299 that I incurred to repair what is a defective stove.

We purchased a Kenmore oven in October of 2014. While remodeling our kitchen, we moved the oven approximately 20 feet. The following day the oven door exploded.

Poor quality material. It is rusting in every corner! Also is coming apart. The control panel is loose. The burners are getting hard to clean. The top oven, I keep it covered with aluminum foil, otherwise if you cook something and it falls on the top of the stove, it’s going to stain the paint.

Several months ago, while I was standing in my kitchen with my 9 year old granddaughter, we heard a high pitched noise. What happened then was terrifying. The outer glass on my Kenmore range model number 79075716893 had exploded out towards my granddaughter! I called Sears and was transferred through at least 4 representatives, only to be transferred to the repair department again. I received no help at all. Then, when I asked to speak to a supervisor, my call was disconnected. Sears needs to get on the ball when it comes to safety and not run away from the problem before someone gets hurt!

I purchased a Kenmore Range in July 2014 and I am very disappointed with the range. My first complaint is concerning the design of the double pane window. With all the advancements made with cooking techniques, why has Kenmore not figured out how to prevent grease from seeping in between the double panel glass front. And most importantly, how do I clean it without violating my warranty? My second complaint is concerning the poofing sound the gas makes to maintain the heating level set on the stove. It annoys me greatly. Last complaint the electric ignition on the power burner does not work consistently. I called for service and the technician stated a new cap will be ordered and mailed to me; another visit may be necessary to take the stove apart to adjust the gas intake and there is nothing can be done about the grease seeping in between the double-paned glass panel.

Kenmore model # 79092803013 electric range oven started smelling plastic burn every time I turned on the oven. Well, I should have turned it off but I didnt. Thanks to God it didnt cause any major damages including fatalities. The baking and broiling elements stopped working and decided to open the back panel of the range. To my surprise the control board and the harness was burned and melted until changed to complete black. They should have recalled their products knowing their safety issues. The sad thing is all my appliances are Kenmore. I will never buy their products again. Be Aware!!!

My Kenmore stove is not two years old and has an area where the oven vents on the upper left side that burned the paint and it is now peeling away. It burned the first time I used the self cleaning oven and is now peeling. I will not pay the $80 fee just to have them come and look at it when it is something that is obviously wrong with the manufacturing. Also one side of the oven gets hotter than the other. Dont buy their refrigerators either.

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.

I bought a Kenmore gas range at Sears. 4 months later the oven control went off. Because the appliance still on the manufacturer warranty I called to Sears customer service (the worst customer service I ever contacted). They set me an appointment for the next three days. I was waiting on the technician and never showed up. I called back again to Sears and then they give me a number for a company named GKB services (I dont know who is more incompetent, Sears customer service or GKB services) that is going to fix my appliance. GKB send me back to Sears, and Sears send me to GKB.Thanksgiving day was a nightmare thanks to Sears and GKB services, (I have to eat Kentucky Fried Chicken for my Thanksgiving dinner). However it has been 2 months and the stupid Kenmore gas range still without to get fixed. I dont know what to do. Nobody help me to fix that appliance, (Im really disappointed until the point to go to Sears to dropped the stupid appliance) with my frozen turkey, that I never get cooked. I tried everything and both Sears and GKB doesnt fix my range. Did someone know what can I do to get the appliance fixed?

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.

I have a Kenmore stainless steel freestanding range serial #VF70220446 and model #790 961234 that I purchase in 2007. For some time this has been happening, the stove top range says hot and it even stays on when it is suppose to be off. One night, I passed by the stove and noticed that the range was high orange-having been for some time. I know I have to take the plug out in order for it to turn off and stay off.

I just purchased this range Friday after Thanksgiving 2015 and less than a week the burner caps got SOMETHING on it and it wont come off. The touch pad is ultra-sensitive when cleaning. (You can turn on the warmer, oven light, or even set the timer.) This is very frustrating. You have to WIPE WITH A WET, SOAPY cloth then a dry, no lint cloth so that it doesnt smudge. That also goes for the stainless. This range costs a mint too much to have to go through the inconvenience of this clean-up. As far as all the functions of the range, they seem to be working fine. Give me a couple of months and I will get back to you as to whether I am satisfied with this purchase.

I turned my oven on to warm up leftovers. 20 minutes later, after I have taken the food out and turned the oven off, I smelled burning odor. My oven burners were red hot and I could not turn it off. My husband had to cut it off by throwing the breaker. Had I walked out after turning the oven off thinking it was off, my house would have burned down. This has happened so much. After reading all the incidents online, I’m afraid to buy another Kenmore. Several models are being recalled for some reason. Mine is not.

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.

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 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.

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.

Does a thorough job cleaning most dishes. Some utensils still need to be soaked prior to putting them in the dishwasher, but thats about it. Have to get creative with some dishes to ensure they dont prevent the spray bars from spinning. Running two loads wouldnt be an issue if it didnt seem like the standard cycle took all night to finish. The dishwasher complements our kitchen. It looks sharp and the stainless steel is fairly easy to keep clean. The handle is pretty sleek, too. Purchased the dishwasher as part of a Black Friday special. Based on the available features, I still think it offers one of the better values for the upper mid-range of dishwashers.

Kenmore range model 95012102 - Broiler turned itself on and wont shut off. Too many reviews on the net about this problem with no help from Sears. Cannot risk a fire so I will be trashing it.

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.

The stove (2011 Kenmore Elite white double oven stove) was purchased in 8/2011. The puppet oven no longer heats up quickly and takes 45-60 minutes to heat to the desired temperature. Unfortunately, the model number has worn off, and Sears cannot give me a correct model for the double, not single, oven from their records. Therefore, the repair guy left without having done anything except charging $99.00 for the house call. I guess I am going to have to use the one oven that works until it doesn’t. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

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.

I bought this washer 6 years ago and honestly I cannot complain. I have a large family, 7 people, counting myself, live in my household and you can imagine the amounts of clothes I wash in a weekend and this washer has never failed me. I am a proud Kenmore owner. I am not a washer owner only, I also have a stove and a fridge, for around the same amount of time and havent had any issues with neither of them.

Bought Kenmore oven 2 years ago. Stopped working on Thanksgiving. Guy sent to fix it says it needs a new back panel for $500. Kenmore made a shoddy product and should fix their poorly made oven at no cost to us. I will not purchase another Kenmore product ever again. Are we supposed to replace appliances at the same rate we have to replace light bulbs? Kenmore needs to stand behind their products and not make garbage.

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.

DO NOT BUY FROM SEARS! Please help to get Sears to own up to their stoves that are fire hazards... I purchased a stove at Sears 3 years ago... has plastic handle on top of oven door and is self cleaning. I used the self clean for first time and got little brown spots on handle.. called and their response was use Mr Clean eraser... spots got worse after each self clean. On December 22 2014 I put on my self clean for 2 hours, left the house and came to find out my oven door had melted! I called Sears and they said would send out tech to look at it but I would get charged for it (no warranty). I told them that it was a serious fire issue and I was not going to pay for tech to come out and tell me Yep it burned and is no good! Warnings tell you not to put plastic near high/intense heat! They said someone would contact me about the issue... after repeated attempts, no one got back to me until end of January!I had to purchase new stove as this one was unusable ($900). Sears kept asking me for model # but I did not have as I had gotten rid of old stove and for them to review the Dec 22 call... This went on until last Friday and all they could do was offer me a $50 gift card!!! They acknowledged that they screwed up and this was the best they could do! Sears does not care about their products or customers. I am out $900 because of Sears and most of you know that I am a single income parent. Worst case is that had I used the major self clean option, my house could have burned! 3 days before Christmas and Sears did not care! PLEASE POST THIS AS PEOPLE WHO HAVE PLASTIC OVEN DOOR HANDLES NEED TO BE AWARE THAT THE STOVE CAN CATCH FIRE! PLASTIC AND HIGH HEAT DO NOT GO WELL TOGETHER.
