Every time I use the dryer it gets the job done. It doesnt take hours to dry them and it allows me to get more dry in half the time. I would recommend in using this dryer to help save time. It is time saving and has really helped me get my drying done. With the setting on the dryer, I can control the dry I need for my clothes. I like that is dryer is compact and it has a wonderful look to it, it is modern and fits next to my washer easily. Having the matching set will make any washroom complete and beautiful. Not everyone likes going out spending big money on washers and dryers. I found that this price was in my price range, it wasnt too high and you are getting the product for your money so you never have to worry about overspending.

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?

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.

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.

I purchased a Kenmore Convection Range model 790.97453801 on 2/7/2009 for $1,000. Today, it takes 45 minutes for it to preheat to 350 degrees. We did not buy the extended warranty. I called Sears to schedule a repair and was told it costs $129 for a service call plus parts or I could purchase a 1-year warranty for $239 which would cover repairs and parts for 1 year and $500 towards a replacement in the case that it cant be repaired. The oven is less than 2 1/2 years old. :( This is the last Sears purchase we will make.

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.

We purchased new Kenmore Elite gas oven/range, refrigerator, and dishwasher
We purchased new Kenmore Elite gas oven/range, refrigerator, and dishwasher a little over 2 years ago. A few months after the warranty ran out, the refrigerator fan started making terrible noises. The dishwasher, floor pan started to rust inside, and the gas stove ignitor switch assembly failed. These appliance are incredibly poorly built, and Sears is trying to stay in business by browbeating you into a lifelong expensive service contracts, which end up costing far more than just buying good appliances to begin with. Dont even THINK about purchasing Kenmore appliances. PLEASE find people who have 1 1/2 or 2-year-old Kenmore appliances and talk to them *first*. I would never ever buy another Kenmore appliance again.

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!

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

Purchased a Kenmore Elite Refrigerator 2.5 years ago. 3 Months ago the Ice maker started dripping water and freezing up. Cost 270.00 for a repair person to come out and realign the water feed to the ice maker. Now the entire unit is not getting cold. $400 worth of parts and a bill to me for $367 plus $99 service fee. The Kenmore Elite Over the stove Microwave purchased a 14 months ago, fan was staying on. Service fee was going to be an additional $249 for the service technician to look at it while he was already at my home. The phone center where you had to call would not discuss any other options and even had the nerve to keep me on the line every time I called trying to sell me a home warranty on appliances that are less than 3 years old!!!Is that what we can expect from Kenmore? For their products to not even last a year after warranties run out? Based on the cost of the $500 a year warranty and $249 service call repair costs they must believe that their equipment will break down at least twice a year for the warranty to be effective or save the consumer money. I Think I will try another Brand.

Our Kenmore Elite Model 790.48193000 has been broken for almost two years.
Our Kenmore Elite Model 790.48193000 has been broken for almost two years. I am sure that Sears Warranty Service provider is waiting for the 3 year service contract to expire. After the first cleaning in the top oven, the temperature of the oven was not controllable. If set at 425 it would go to temp and then go down to various lower temperatures. Often as low as 219 degrees. Countless meals were ruined. Sears phone service providers were painfully sympathetic and scheduled 8 appointments over the last year and a half. Control boards were replaced, recalibrations were made and each time the service person pronounced the oven fine. But each time we try to cook something in the oven it is ruined because the temperature drops. We finally got moved to the elite lemon guarantee replacement department and after expressing deep unhappiness and growing frustration we were sent up to a supervisor who approved a $970 replacement credit. The double oven is selling for about $2500. How is this a replacement after a year and a half of broken oven? So dont waste your money on Kenmore or Sears products and dont buy their service agreement.

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.

Kenmore Electric Range Model 790.9742 - Purchased in April 2010. The racks
Kenmore Electric Range Model 790.9742 - Purchased in April 2010. The racks are no longer and it collapsed during the cooking process due to the oven liner warping and bowing out. Repairman says it is unrepairable and there are no racks available to fix this problem. Sears tells me this is an isolated problem and they have never heard of this problem before. Really?! Its all over the internet on not only Kenmore, but LG, Jenn-Air, Whirlpool, and other brands made for Sears. All Sears will do is give me a 20% discount off a new stove because I did not buy the extended warranty. I sincerely doubt the extended warranty would have covered an oven liner since it is not a replaceable part. It is part of the oven, according to the repairman. I was nearly burned when I pulled out a casserole to check on it. Dutch oven also fell after a few hours while it was cooking in the oven. Luckily, the door stayed closed and the Dutch oven fell straight down. It could have caused a major grease fire. Sears refuses to admit there is a problem with the steel used in the oven liner. Sears no longer stands behind their products. They say they are sorry. I am disappointed in the longevity of my stove. Well, yes, it is only 2 1/2 years old and this shouldnt be happening. It would have happened sooner had I used the self-cleaning oven feature which I have yet to do and it would have caused additional warping and bowing. I have an oven I paid $1000 for and is unusable because I, more than likely, will get burned or a fire will happen due to these racks no longer fitting.

My husband and I went to Sears appliance in Clifton March 6, 2014. The sale
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.

Never had any issues with it; its energy efficient and keeps frozen foods frozen and cold food cold. The price is also reasonable for such a reliable appliance. Its a good size for two people; it holds several beverage packs, has large crispers and there is enough space to arrange items if you really want to load it up. Its a typical two door appliance with a top freezer - it is kind of generic looking but its functionality is optimal. We really like it... For this size and model, Kenmore provides the best value - the price is very low compared to similar brands. This is a functional appliance and well worth the price.

I purchase the Kenmore Elite double oven approx three years ago. It has been a disaster from the start! The issues was the rewiring needed for the product that I was not told about. This requires an electrician and an extra charge that is Kenmore specific. The first set of ovens did not work at all. After paying the additional cost for the change the ovens were installed and they did not work. The installer could do nothing and I had to call for a repair. I requested a new set of oven and after a week or two receive a new set. Within 6 month I noticed the doors on the ovens would not close properly and that the calibration was off. I requested another set again to no avail. To date I have had 2/3 additional service calls for the ovens for the same problem. I have requested a new set or satisfaction each time. The most recent repair was in July 2016. Now Nov 26, 2016 they are saying the problem is no longer under warranty for the repair or the extended warranty I purchased. The customer service center has had problems scheduling, sending two repair people or say there is no appointment and then a repairman shows up anyway. This happens even with confirmations and secondary verifications.There was a time when the Sears brand stood for quality, and great customer service. Those days are no more. I purchased a full suite of appliances for a gourmet kitchen with the Kenmore Elite Brand and the two most expensive items, the fridge and the double ovens have had significant problems and repairs. I have been loyal to Sears and so as my family making it a tradition for over 30 years of my adult life. My parent bought Sears as did my entire family but NO MORE! I will exhaust my points and the boycott will begin. We will NEVER purchase anything from Sears again nor will we recommend the store or their products.

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.

The oven is fine, though it takes a bit long to preheat. The problem is that the igniters on the range went out, and the only people to work on them come from Sears. And Sears is the literal worst. Theyve cancelled their repair dates on me twice, causing me to be late for work. The ovens may work for a time, but as soon as they go out, dont expect anyone from the store to be even the slightest help.

Everybody should have this brand. They are really good on their sizes. They have the right size for everybody. They have a long range of models so Im sure you will find the right size one you are looking for.Very good looking models. They look somewhat similar but you can tell the difference between them. I have a black one to match my other appliances but I really liked the one I have and the stainless ones they are very nice. They dont really cost that much for the quality of them. Its well worth it but Im a firm believer in you pay for what you get and you get good merchandise with this company.

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 microwave oven purchased June 16, 2013. Also purchased 2 year extended service agreement. Yesterday, just about 1 year AFTER the extended service agreement expired the oven malfunctioned. When the door is opened to place food inside, the glass tray begins to rotate all by itself, even before any cooking selection is made on the touch pad. There is also the sound of the fan running but the oven itself is off. Once the door is closed, it stops. After food cooks, I open the door to take out food and the glass tray and fan do the same thing. Tried unplugging the unit to see if that would reset it, didnt work. Still malfunctions.This is more Chinese junk with the Kenmore name! Sears makes huge profits by cheating its loyal customers and almost forcing us to purchase expensive service contracts. Ive been a Sears customer since 1992; now that will end. By the time I pay for repair of the 3 year old microwave, it would cost much more than the $160, that included the 2 year service agreement. You cant simply throw it away or place it in the recycle bin. Its only 3 years old! The Panasonic oven it replaced was 23 years old! What does that tell you about the quality of Kenmore products? We are making the Chinese rich while WE are forced to keep buying inferior products made by them.

This very expensive electric range is inferior. The oven walls have warped
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.

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!!!

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

We are a family of six and this dishwasher fits all our dishes nicely. It has plenty of room for pots and pans, and the size goes great with our kitchen. Its tough on food residue and cleans great. It has a sleek appearance and its white so it goes perfectly with my range and other appliances. Also, its easy to wipe the outside clean which I love. Since Ive had this particular dishwasher for 8 years now I would definitely say it has a good value for this item, and its built to last. I would highly recommend this dishwasher.

Purchased Kenmore model 106.72153 Cold Spot Refrigerator at Sears in April 2013 along with Kenmore microwave, Kenmore dishwasher & Kenmore stove. The Kenmore refrigerators compressor and evaporator failed. Cost of labor & parts to fix over $1100. Only two senior occupants using the appliance. I attempted to discuss with Sears Manager at Sears Concord Mall in Wilmington DE, but before I finished explaining I was told there was nothing he (Sears or Kenmore) could do. Didnt want to hear a word I said or discuss possibilities. I was actually considering purchasing another Kenmore if an agreement could have been at least discussed. I have been a Sears customer and Kenmore purchaser for over 40 years. So much for customer loyalty and customer service.

Defective and dangerous. Stove five years old. Walls of the oven suddenly retracted. Racks dont fit and they fall. It cannot be repaired, unless the oven is replaced at a big cost.

Two Sears brand appliances, Kenmore, were in this house when I purchased it
Two Sears brand appliances, Kenmore, were in this house when I purchased it October 1, 2015. Both appeared fairly new and were installed during a kitchen remodel by the previous owner. Three months ago I trashed the microwave because it had so many issues. Now the stove Broil element comes on by itself and cannot be turned off at the stove console. The stove gives no indication that anything is turned on.My kitchen smoke alarm went off while I was in another part of my house alerting me that something is wrong. A glance at the stove, the only source of heat in the kitchen, and there was no indication that anything was on. A quick look in the oven and the broil element was glowing, the oven was very hot, thus the fumes escaping that set off the smoke detector. Nothing would turn it off. I turned off the breaker in the main panel and let the oven cool overnight. The next morning I turned the breaker back on and the oven came on with it, still not showing any indication of heat on the stove control panel.I Googled known defects with Kenmore stoves. Seems this is a known problem though Sears hasnt been very helpful getting it fixed. I havent reported my issue yet, not to Sears anyway. On Monday Ill be seeking legal advice about the possibility of a class action. In the mean time Ill contact Sears for a comment. This is a safety issue, my house could have caught fire while I was asleep or away and they knew the problem existed but did nothing.

I chose this specific dishwasher brand because it matched all of my other appliances in the house, refrigerator and stove and it was the biggest bang for the buck at the time. The features that I like with this dishwasher, can hold all of my dishes and glasses and it cleans them thoroughly without leaving an ugly residue behind. Also, I really like that the racks on this dishwasher hold all of my dishes and glasses and the dishwasher door has all of the buttons on top and out of the way.

Kenmore Double Oven Electric Range: The bottom oven is 50 degrees hotter than what the oven is set at. The owners manual has a section on how you lower or higher the temperature by 35 degrees, but when going through the steps, it appears that the instructions are to change the setting from Fahrenheit to Celsius. So I am unable to use this workaround. It would have only changed it 35 degrees, and I needed it to change 50 degrees. I bought this oven for baking. So it is essentially useless to me.

My Kenmore Bottom Freezer Refrigerator Model #795.7305 has proven to be a disappointment. Although interiorly spacious with Ice & Water dispenser, a total of 7 bins on either side of the doors & various other nice features, I must warn you, BUYER BEWARE! I have owned this refrigerator LESS than 5 years and have already had to replace two door bins and the ice door bin. All are made of plastic and all bins cracked. The PLASTIC ice door bin costs just under $153. That is some expensive PLASTIC! When consulting the Sears parts department, they mentioned that the new and improved Ice bin is stronger (which leads me to believe that other customers have had same experience and that is why they have revamped the ice bin. The warranty on the $153.00 new, improved PLASTIC ice bin is only ONE YEAR. 365 days! Gone are the days of sturdy, long lasting appliances from Sears. Buyers please think twice! At least with this model. Oh, its just my hubby & I who are in our 60s, so there is no slamming of refrigerator doors or rough handling of these plastic pieces.

Sears Kenmore has made some of the most reliable appliances I have ever purchased! I purchased my stove in 1998 and Im still using it. It isnt digital; which I prefer because digital appliances need too many repairs and are very costly when the circuitry breaks down. The con is they dont brown as well as metal ovens. Im saddened to see Sears closing its stores. I would definitely research to find who carries Kenmore when purchasing appliances, as Im sure they have updated them.

I purchased a Kenmore oven (model 92703, stainless steel, 5 burner, one rapid boil, convection, self cleaning) from a local Sears appliance store in June 2011 for $850. In December 2015, it stopped working, and the repair guy showed us the electrical panel was burned. We decided to be on the safe side and replaced the whole thing for $330 (plus the $100 service call fee). Almost exactly one year later the broiler element is out, we pulled off the back panel yesterday and sure enough, the electrical panel is burned again. So its a poorly made product, and its cost me over $1000 to own this oven for just over 5 years. It was nowhere near worth that amount of money. Dont ever buy a Kenmore range.

Kenmore appliances used to be reliable but have gone down so much that my husband as a builder, after using them for over 15+ years finally had to recently switch brand/distributors. Where to begin?! Less than one month after installation the refrigerator ice maker broke. Fixed it and it broke again. Now we just buy ice. We are so sick of dealing with appts etc. Its loud and seems to always be making all kinds of crazy noises. Our double oven also new - from the get go convection fan wasnt and still isnt working properly even after being “fixed”. Top element rattles loud even though screwed in tight, service tells us its because the inside is made so cheap they all rattle even if tightened - nothing they can do about it. So every time we cook we have to listen to a loud rattle. Every day I am reminded how much I despise Sears and Kenmore appliances for the garbage they sold us, wasted our money, and didnt stand behind. Our flat top stove is the only thing I love.

This isnt dissatisfaction... its a HAZARD. Broiler feed tube in back of oven has a hole which guessing formed when a piece of something landed on and reacted with aluminum. Turned broiler on... feed tube emitted gas through tube... broiler lit and whoosh large flame a good foot high and six inches wide emerged from back of oven... luckily I was standing right there. Turned burner and oven off. Flame went out in about 5 seconds... enough to scare the ** out of me! My range is a good 10 years in service... not a problem to be found until this. My opinion... a bulletin should be sent to all owners to check the broiler feed tube!!! Holy Guacamole if I wasnt there, the whole house couldve gone up in propane flames. Btw to the editor, yes Im sure GE does manufacture in the US but they do in Mexico, also... see tag.

We purchased a Sears slide-in gas range model 790.367 in 2008. Up to this point we have had some issues but nothing major. At this point the racks will no longer stay in place. We learned about this the hard way. This is the same problem others have described. I discussed this with the manager of our local Sears who was unaware of the problem but made a call to a long time service tech who told him that he was aware of this problem. He suggested we slide the unit out and push the walls in. We were not comfortable with this. We are considering making a service appointment but are concerned about paying a lot of money and having the problem recur. I chatted with the Sears expert who was not at all helpful. We are at a loss about what to do. We consider this a serious safety issue and will not use the oven. Like others we paid a lot of money for an oven we cant use. We feel that this is clearly a product defect and that Sears should help us.

Purchased a ceramic top Kenmore stove in July 2011. Model #790-92303012. Worked fine until 1/31/2015. Preheated the oven to 350 degrees to bake a pizza. The top surface of the stove was not in use. The pizza had been in the stove for 2 or 3 minutes when the stove began to make screeching noises. The control panel completely lit up, then most of it went dark and smoke began to curl up from the back of the stove. Flames shot up from the back but quickly died away, however the smoke grew more intense.I was able to quickly jerk the stove away from the wall and pull the plug, killing the power. Noticed as I did so that the electrical wires inside the back panel (visible through the slots in the back) were glowing orange. There was smoke damage to the wall behind the stove and the kitchen and half the house had that electrical fire smell - which lingered for a few days. With the power gone and the fuel source (the insulation of the wires) consumed the fire was contained. The stove was obviously shot.Contacted Sears that evening and was given a number to call and was eventually given a claim number. Everyone connected with Sears has been polite but so far there has been no meaningful response, and it is doubtful they will accept any responsibility. Too bad, we have been loyal customers owning a Kenmore refrigerator and a Kenmore Elite microwave.We are fortunate that our homeowners insurance will assist with the purchase of a replacement stove. But Sears Kenmore has a major engineering defect that is inexcusable. After reading comments from other unsatisfied customers there are numerous and more serious hazards connected with Kenmore products. I would not feel safe purchasing a Kenmore stove as a replacement and could not recommend them to anyone.

The clock would mysteriously reset as if a power outage had occurred. This happened for several weeks and then the control panel for the oven went dark and oven is UNUSABLE!!! So we call Sears for a warranty call out and the guy opens the back of the stove and discovers a bug back there that apparently shorted the board out and says he cant fix it and it wont be covered by the WARRANTY. This part is an electronic board that is not sealed in any way and will short out very easily again AT A COST OF $145.00 EACH after I spent almost a thousand on this stove. What really irritated me is even if I wanted to PAY for the repairs they would not do it. This stove is a piece of CRAP and I WILL NOT EVER RECOMMEND OR PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM SEARS!!! KENMORE/SEARS APPLIANCES SUCK.

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.

I have had this refrigerator for several years and I have never had a problems with it. The seals are extremely tight and the insulation is great as I never have to turn it up very high. I have a family of 6 and there is plenty of room for storage. I do have extra drawers that I put on the shelves because with 4 teenagers it makes no difference how big your fridge is, there is never enough room. Mine is the color bisque, it matches my stove and my washer and dryer. I prefer this as it does not show prints and spots as easy as as white one does. Mine has a left opening as that is the way my kitchen is designed. I bought it on sale and it was extremely well priced. I would have bought it whether it was on sale or not as it was the only one I could find that completely met all of the things I wanted.

One time and it quit working! I think they should take the stove back and replace it! I was not even cooking -- just reheating! Sears used to mean Quality! Go elsewhere next time.

I had a Kenmore refrigerator several years ago which lasted a very long time. It had several different compartments so you could squish this on many different levels which made it easy to organize and arrange things. The top shelf could be placed really far down so that you could place large jugs of water, soup pots or other crock-pot type of devices there with no problems plus you could fit even a large turkey roaster in there during the holidays. So, I would not complain about the spacing. The refrigerator itself was very quiet. I could barely tell that it was running. You could easily adjust the dials inside to change the temperature of the refrigerator or freezer. There was no frost build up in the freezer ever. I would suggest this to anyone.

We own a Kenmore Elite double oven that will no longer hold the racks in place in the bottom oven. This is a very dangerous defect that has caused multiple spills and also burns. Sears claims to be unaware of this defect event though there are many complaints about this same problem on the internet. The problem is caused by the walls of the oven bowing out due to regular use and cleaning of the oven. Sears refuses to issue a recall on the oven and has offered to provide a service call at our expense which does not even guarantee that it can be fixed properly. If this were a car, Im sure it would have to be recalled but I do not believe there are adequate consumer laws that cover appliances. Sears does not stand behind their products.

I purchased a Kenmore gas range from Sears in July 2010 based on good experience with a previous Kenmore stove. From the start the Kenmore model 790 made loud booming noises when using the oven. No explosions just a noise that made me fearful of using the oven and definitely reduced my use of it. I returned from holiday vacation to a stove leaking gas with the eyes turned off. The local gas company conducted an inspection and declared the stove dangerous and unsafe. Now the stove sits in my kitchen with a red tag labeled dangerous. I do not plan to repair the four-year old stove. It will be replaced with a new stove and different manufacturer. Thank you to everyone for sharing your experience with Kenmore stoves.

We have been loyal Kenmore customers since we were married in 1975. Currently we have a Kenmore refrigerator, freezer, stove, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. We have been well served by Kenmore appliances for forty years but our washing machine is extremely frustrating. It is a series 500 high efficiency washer. It is not efficient at all because we frequently have to wash things twice to get them clean. We purchase and use the recommended detergent. It is very slow so it wastes time. I have tried to trick it by adding extra water but that doesnt seem to help. We regret our purchase every week on laundry day. Is Kenmore doing anything to retain dissatisfied customers like us? We are fed up with a all of the problems. If Kenmore will offer a solution to replace the machine I will stay with a Kenmore machine. If not I will buy a different machine.

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

We bought a Kenmore Electric Range 790.9420, 9424 just under 2 years ago for $700 (January 2015). The Convection has never been impressive... Following the directions but still burning items (I have since found out that it shouldve performed much better than that but I had no reference point) and it cant cook more than one item at a time without slowing down the cooking process or burning items. The last straw was two weeks ago, 12/10/16. It made a very loud POP while trying to bake a pizza. It totally stopped baking. For the last two weeks I have gotten the worst customer service through Sears that I have ever experienced. The local store hasnt been able to help (in fact when I tried to call their listed number, they never answered and then the phone call just cut off after 3 minutes of listening to it ring). I had to go into the store to tell the manager that their phone hadnt worked for 3 days as I had tried to reach them, then the 800 Sears Service number that is listed to call has been just terrible. Those at the 800 number must be trained to never help the customer or admit that their product hasnt delivered as it should have AND they arent allowed to give out any information on someone higher than their level to complain to... Absolutely no accountability. The main numbers of 1-800-469-4663 and 1-847-286-2500 have given me NO satisfaction. They have transferred me to Sears Holdings, Sears Solutions, Sears Rewards and NO ONE has been able to help me. All say it is on me, I didnt buy a warranty but that they can come out for $89 to assess it! Are you kidding me? My Stove/oven isnt made to last even 2 years? My phone call issues range from completely dropping my calls, putting me on hold for 25 minutes and never returning to speak to me so I had to hang up and call back and start all over, saying there is no recall or defect on this item so its costs are on me. I have been trying to give Sears some time to take some responsibility for their defective product...I finally had another local repair man come out and they determined it is the Control Panel... Cost is estimated at $250 (thats just for the item), then add the labor. I called Sears with this information. They have no solution other than to tell me to pay their tech to come out and assess it. I will NOT do that. I will not buy a Sears product ever again and I will do my best to let everyone I know to never buy from there again. Other than the store manager who did a good job hearing me but had no authority to help me, I have experienced ZERO customer service. I spoke to the store manager yesterday and there was a sign of a very little movement after I pressed more that my appliance shouldnt break in under 2 years and that anyone must have a warranty for something under 2 years. She was going to contact the Service Factory Manager directly for me. I have doubts that anything will result and plan to buy with a local company. The individuals on the phone are not accountable to anyone... They dont seem to care if you have a lemon or if you will not do business with their company anymore. I was told if I had an issue and wanted to speak to a manager, that I could call back and hopefully I could get through to the Arizona call center versus the Texas one. Are you kidding me? No accountability, No customer service, No standing behind their products and making it right with customers. Terrible. I/we have many more years of buying power and it wont be with Sears. I really hope my review will prevent someone else putting their money and faith into any Sears products.

We purchased Kenmore 790.80332310 in April, 2018. We upgraded all of our appliances. We had our original Kenmore appliances for 20 years. On New Years Day, 2019 I cooked on top of our Kenmore range and in the oven. While cooking the fan from the Kenmore over-range microwave automatically came on as usual. After a period, it stopped. I had not used the microwave at all that day. I completed cooking on the range top but the food in the oven continued to bake. I walked in the adjacent Family Room to watch the Rose Bowl parade. While sitting watching the parade, I began smelling a strange odor. While walking into kitchen, my husband and I heard a loud boom. I walked to the microwave, there was a flame inside the cabinet and the glass turn table was totally shattered. We moved into action to smother the fire to prevent the flame from accessing the magnetron. The next day, we called Sears Service. The technician was scheduled for a 12:00 PM to 5 PM window of time. At 6:19 PM, I received a text that technician was on the way. At 7:00 PM I called, dispatcher could not locate technician. A technician was rescheduled for Monday. The technical arrived on Monday and said that he came on Friday but could not see an address (our address is located on our mailbox). When the technician viewed the cabinet of the microwave and he stated that he had never seen anything like that. He called his senior team but stated that he was having difficulty in cell phone service. He could forward photos of the cabinet to the Senior Team. The exterior of the microwave looks brand new. The technician departed. We received an email stating that the fire was caused by customer negligence. Therefore, the warranty was cancelled and no further action would be taken. We called Service. We were told that the microwave was totally burned by us. We explained that this microwave is setting in our cabinet. It is totally burned. If you walked into our kitchen you would never know about the damage within the cabinet. Of course, my husband disconnected the microwave from electricity to prevent another fire from happening. We asked for another technician to make an assessment of the damage. We were told that we would have to pay a service charge for a technician to come out again. We consented to pay the charge for an assessment. Sears then proceeded to attempt to send the same technician again. My husband called in protest. He was told that the particular technician was the technician for this area. We are totally disappointed in this defective product and the Customer Service rendered by Sears. They have no regard for the customers who purchase their products.

About 2 years after we purchased our oven from Sears the handle fell off. My husband repaired it. Then it happened again. This time the entire door fell apart when the handle came off. We called the local Sears and they came and said it was fixed. Nope. It happened again. The glass inside the door now shifts around due to the unresolved problem. Its a safety issue because I have been burned and Im afraid the glass will shatter one of these times. Sears is a terrible company and Kenmore products are not made well at all.

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.

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.

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.

Purchased a Kenmore Electric Range in March 2017. Last Monday night 11/06, while using the oven at 450 degrees, the glass in the oven door exploded and shattered. 3rd party technician arrived today for service appointment. Opened the door and confirmed the window was shattered (nice work genius) and informed me that it would take two additional weeks for the parts to arrive. In my opinion, if something this violent happens to a product, then I would say its defective. I want my defective stove to be replaced!I have spoke with exactly 10 Sears and Kenmore representatives today and have not received any assistance on the replacement of my defective stove. Even drove down to the store I purchased it from to seek some assistance... That was a useless waste of time! I have even had two representatives tell me that it usually takes seven or eight occurrences or service calls before they deem a product un-repairable and would consider replacing it. So... Kenmore and Sears would rather keep an appliance in service with risk to my family if the window decides to fully explode and shatter, rather than just replacing a range??? I have never experienced such a poor level of customer service as I have today. This is a perfect example of why the Sears Holding stock is only at $4.50 per share this morning and the fact that they are closing another 100+ stores. They treated me like I was some sort of thieve and all I was trying to do is replace a defective range to keep my family safe. What really blew me away!!! I told the last customer service person that Kenmore does NOT stand behind their quality or product! Freddies response was that Kenmore doesnt even produce or manufacture the ranges. They are made by Whirlpool and Kenmore slaps their brand name on the product. Freddie wasnt even fazed, almost like he didnt even care. Guess I wouldnt care either if I was working for a sinking ship!

I bought the Kenmore front loader washer and dryer in burnt orange when we purchased our home. I LOVED them. They worked great for years. We did have a small issue with the vibration and it was loud. We did have an issue with mold, but we bought the special cleaning tabs and kept the door open when not in use. Well, the dryer started going first... not drying well. I would run the dryer 3 times to dry one load. Then the washer went. Door lock would hold laundry hostage... cycles stopping. Id say we got 5 good years out of the dryer and 6 good years out of the washer. We paid through the nose for these things... Really sad.

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

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

Yesterday while baking, the inner glass door of my 3-year-old Kenmore oven exploded, sending hot glass shards onto my kitchen floor and into the oven. Has anyone begun a class action lawsuit regarding this product? I have read numerous online reports that Sears does not back this product by repairing or replacing the oven door or damage to the owner. I attempted reporting to Sears customer service and was guided to how to dispose of the oven.

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.

The Kenmore Electric Range model #790.9011 is a traditional coil top stove
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.

Kenmore over the stove microwave. Four years ago the handle cracked on the lower attachment point. So, I went online & ordered a new handle. Im a retired Maintenance Master Electrician 47 yrs so replacing a handle should not be a problem. Ha Ha. Was I wrong I removed the door & the plastic trim from door, I gave up an hour later and called Kenmore for service. The technician came out & we both worked for another hour with no success. He said, Lets order a new door. About 10 days later he came back with the new door. He said that he was very sorry that new door cost $300.00, thats half the cost of the microwave new. It was over $700.00 on sale. But what are you going to do? So I said yes. He felt so bad he did not charge me for the service call. So now here we are on Sunday, my wife finds a piece of black plastic on the stove top. She looks & its from the bottom on the handle on the microwave. It has broken in the same as the last time. I told that I was not spending another $300 for another door. So, while I was cleaning the door with alcohol, I found a crack in the door on the bottom to the left of the handle. I got some 5min Epoxy & have glued the handle. Remember there are only 2 people in this house & we are 70 yrs. old. I will be looking for a commercial grade microwave to replacement this one but I guaranteed that it will not be a Kenmore or a Whirlpool.

Kenmore Model 790.92202014 Oven Control Meltdown - I bought this range in early 2011 as an upgrade to my old Whirlpool range. Just shortly after it went out of warranty, the oven control unit failed. I called a repairman and a new one was ordered and replaced by him. Less than a year later, the unit failed again, so I sent the defective unit back to the provider and they sent me a replacement. This lasted less than a year again until 3-2013, only this time it blew the breaker (it never had done that before). Upon removing the back cover, I was horrified to find the oven plug that plugs into the control unit melted! I only can say Im glad it didnt start a fire. Im writing this complaint to warn people of a possible fire hazard. Im junking this range.

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.

The places in the door were awesome. The drawers were big and roomy as well. The freezer side wasnt hampered by the ice maker either. I loved the stainless steel. Easy to clean. Shiny. Sexy. Much better than the typical textured outside of most refrigerators. Smooth. Lovely. It was priced perfectly. Mid-range. It was a scratch and dent model too so there was an additional discount which made it much more appealing to me and much more affordable.

After MORE Consumer Report Research (and you have to pay for this), for 201
After MORE Consumer Report Research (and you have to pay for this), for 2016 Microwave / Convection models, CR rated the Kenmore Elite 79080373310 an excellent unit out of the ones tested. I ordered it Thanksgiving morning, it was installed today 11/28. The convection oven does not reach temperature. Thinking the thermometers were bad, I went out and purchased a new one tonight. The Convection oven does not reach temperature. I called Sears (the Worst company to try and reach a department), after being transferred to the Philippines over and again, I was told a technician was schedule to come out on 12/12. Guess what, I am not waiting 2 weeks for a tech to come out to tell me the part is on back order. I want the unit exchanged immediately! What kind of junk is coming to consumers that we have to deal with this? They want me to wait 48 hrs to hear from the installation team.Updated on 12/19/2015: Continuation... Sears came out on 12/12 to replace the non working Kenmore Elite convection over the range unit. The installers did not re tape the exhaust vent and the vent air is being circulated through my cabinets. The new Kenmore Elite convection does NOT WORK! Once again hit 350/450 degrees (to check temp). Youre lucky if the temp gets to 300 degrees (yet the unit said it reached temp). I asked for a service tech to come out to verify that the oven was not getting to temp. Bob came out, tried to give me a line of bull that the electricity was not good but I immediately called an electrician who said The tech is trying to snow you. Dont believe him! Bob went on to say that the heating elements are located in the left rear causing uneven heating where the left will get done first and the right side would take more time. Bob went on to say that ALL the GEs and Kenmores he has worked on and as a matter of fact, all the new microwaves are NOT GETTING TO TEMP. He said most people use it to reheat, make popcorn, make a pizza. They dont bake/roast in it. Well my thinking this is FRAUD AND FALSE ADVERTISING as well as UNSAFE. Poultry, meats, etc. need to be cooked at a certain temp. If some inexperienced person follows a recipe... put in at 350, bake 25 minutes and takes it out to eat it, the poultry, meat will not be cooked because at 350 youd be lucky if the temp gets to 250. This is now my second Kenmore Elite and they are suppose to come out today between 1-5pm to install yet another 3 new Kenmore Elite. I am beside myself that Bob said all the GEs he installed in Monsey, NY are having the same problems. To me and my opinion, that means that the vendor who they purchased the heating elements is selling bad stuff. Where is quality control in the companies who are selling these products? In addition I feel that each time they remove/install, they are weakening the cabinets that the units are being installed in. Where does it stop? Who needs to take responsibility? There should be a recall on these and/or the companies need to send out a tech at their own expense to have the microwave/convection tested. To see that they reach temperature. This is UNSAFE for people wanting to bake or roast in the units.

I bought a Kenmore French door fridge 1-18-18 and on 10-27-19 it went out. The top does not cool. Had Sears repair come out and said it is not under any warranty. That it would cost over $1000.00 to fix. I called Kenmore and got nowhere with them. I called Deawoo and they also would do nothing about it. I now own a $1900.00 piece of junk. I will never and recommend no one ever buy anything Kenmore as it is not made in States and only has a 1 year warranty. They are junk. Nothing like when I was a kid and everything in the house was Kenmore. Worst thing I have ever bought. I will no longer buy, go to, ok deal with Sears or Kenmore ever again with anything. I am now selling my riding lawn mower, kitchen stove, washer and dryer before they break and I have more junk to find a way to get rid of.

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

Kenmore 3.6 cu. ft. HE Top-Load Washer Item# 26-26002 - I purchased this washer along with a whole new kitchen remodel June 2013. The computer on the washer is not working and has to be replaced and it is August 2014. I took out a 30 year old Maytag that was still working fine (never once repaired) and now a little over a year later I am hit with a bill that is close to what I could go buy a cheap washer with. I have gotten no satisfaction from the company. They say I have to have an order number so they can make sure that was purchased when I said. Well they found it when I called about the cracked glass top on the stove I got at the same time... which has been replaced twice already. These items should come with a longer warranty or they should at least back their products longer. Will never purchase or recommend Kenmore again.

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