Kenmore Washer Error Codes
If you're looking for help fixing your Kenmore Washer, look no further! Our comprehensive Kenmore Washer error code guide will explain common issues, provide tips, and show you how to read your model's error codes.
CODE: Lid Lock LED flashing
PROBLEM: Indicates the control recorded one of the error codes shown below
FIX: Enter the diagnostic test mode to read the error code as shown in the above video link.
CODE: F0 E2
PROBLEM: Excessive suds
FIX: Use only HE (High Efficiency) detergent. Reduce the quantity of detergent to prevent excessive suds.
CODE: F0 E4
PROBLEM: High water temperature in the rinse cycle
FIX: Make sure that fill hoses are properly connected. Check the resistance of the thermistor (temperature sensor). It should measure around 50K ohms (50,000 ohms) at 77 degrees. If the thermistor is defective, replace it.
CODE: F0 E5
PROBLEM: Unbalanced load
FIX: Re-distribute the load inside the spin basket. If that doesn't help, then check the suspension rods and springs. If a suspension rod and spring is broken or damaged, replace all of the suspension rods and springs (the replacement part is a kit that has all 4 rods/springs).
CODE: F1 E1
PROBLEM: Main electronic control board failure
FIX: Unplug the washer. Check the wiring connections on the main electronic control board in the console. If the wiring connections are okay, then the main electronic control board will usually need to be replaced.
CODE: F1 E2
PROBLEM: Motor control error on main electronic control board failure
FIX: Unplug the washer. Check the wiring connections on the main electronic control board and the drive motor. If the wiring connections are okay, then the drive motor windings will need to be checked for resistance. If the drive motor is bad, replace it. If the drive motor is okay, the main electronic control board will usually need to be replaced.
CODE: F2 E1
PROBLEM: Stuck key
FIX: This code is for models with a digital display. One or more keys on the user interface were actuated for 15 seconds or longer. If a key is stuck and cannot be freed up then the user interface control will need to be replaced.
CODE: F2 E3
PROBLEM: Mismatch of main electronic control board and user lnterface control
FIX: This code is for models with a digital display. It typically occurs when an incompatible control component (Main Electronic Control board or User Interface control) is replaced in the console. Check the replacement part numbers and reorder the correct part.
CODE: F3 E1
PROBLEM: Water level pressure sensor fault
FIX: Unplug the washer. Check the air hose connection between the bottom of the tub and the water level pressure switch on the main electronic control board in the console. If no problems are found, then the main electronic control board (which includes the water level pressure switch) will usually need to be replaced.
CODE: F3 E2
PROBLEM: Inlet water temperature fault
FIX: Unplug the washer. Open the console and check the resistance through the thermistor circuit (black wires). It should measure around 50K ohms (50,000 ohms) at room temperature. If the thermistor is defective, replace it (the thermistor is a component in the inlet valve assembly wiring harness).
CODE: F5 E1
PROBLEM: Lid switch fault
FIX: This code is displayed if Start is pressed with the lid open. If the lid switch on the lid lock/switch assembly isn't detecting the condition of the washer lid properly, then the lid lock/switch assembly will need to be replaced.
CODE: F5 E2
PROBLEM: Lid lock fault
FIX: Unplug the washer. Check the lid lock/switch assembly for debris or an item that is interfering with the lock strike being engaged by the lid lock mechanism. If no interference is apparent, then the lid lock/switch assembly will usually need to be replaced.
CODE: F5 E3
PROBLEM: Lid unlock fault
FIX: Unplug the washer. Lift the top panel of the washer to access the lid lock/switch assembly. Try to manually unlock the washer lid without breaking the lid lock/switch assembly and the lock strike. If the components are damaged, replace them. If the lid lock/switch assembly won't lock and unlock properly, replace it.
CODE: F5 E4
PROBLEM: Lid not opened between cycles
FIX: If the washer is started several times without the lid ever being opened, then this code appears. If the lid is actually being opened between cycles but the control doesn't detect it, then the door lock/switch assembly will typically need to be replaced.
CODE: F7 E1
PROBLEM: Basket speed sensor fault
FIX: See if the spin basket rotates freely. If not, then examine and replace any defective drive components. If the basket spins properly, unplug the washer and check the wiring connections on the shifter assembly. That component has the optical tachometer. If the wiring connections are okay, then that shifter will usually need to be replaced.
CODE: F7 E5
PROBLEM: Shifter assembly fault
FIX: The main electronic control board cannot determine the position of the drive system shifter. Unplug the washer and check the wiring harness connections on the main electronic control board and the shifter assembly. If the wiring connections are okay, then the shifter assembly will usually need to be replaced.
CODE: F7 E6
PROBLEM: Motor fault
FIX: Unplug the washer and check the wiring connections on the drive motor. If the wiring connections are okay, then the drive motor will typically need to be replaced.
CODE: F7 E7
PROBLEM: Motor is unable to reach target RPM
FIX: Rotate the spin basket to see if it spins freely. If not, then a garment could be stuck between the outer tub and the spin basket. A problem with drive components could also cause excess friction. Inspect the drive components and replace parts as needed.
CODE: F8 E1
PROBLEM: Not filling or long fill time
FIX: Water isn't being detected as entering the washer. If the washer isn't filling, check the water supply faucets behind the washer to make sure that they are fully open. Check the fill hoses and inlet water valves. If the inlet water valve assembly is defective, replace it. If water is entering the machine but not being detected, then the main electronic control board (which includes the water level pressure switch) will usually need to be replaced.
CODE: F8 E3
PROBLEM: Overflow condition
FIX: If the washer is overfilling, check the inlet water valves. If the valves are not shutting off water flow, then replace the inlet water valve assembly. If the washer isn't actually overflowing, then the main electronic control board (which includes the water level pressure switch) will typically need to be replaced.
CODE: F8 E5
PROBLEM: Hot & cold fill hoses are reversed
FIX: Check the fill hoses. If they are connected properly then the inlet water thermistor (temperature sensor) will probably need to be replaced. That component is part of the Inlet Water Valve Wire Harness.
CODE: F9 E1
PROBLEM: Long drain time
FIX: The washer isn't draining after the drain pump runs for 10 minutes. Check the washer drain and the drain hose for clogs or restrictions. If the drain path is clear, unplug the washer and check the drain pump. If the drain pump is defective, replace it.
CODE: Wash LED on
PROBLEM: No fill or long fill
FIX: Water isn't being detected as entering the washer. If the washer isn't filling, check the water supply faucets behind the washer to make sure that they are fully open. Check the fill hoses and inlet water valves. If the inlet water valve assembly is defective, replace it. If water is entering the machine but not being detected, then the main electronic control board (which includes the water level pressure switch) will usually need to be replaced.
CODE: Spin LED on
PROBLEM: Long drain time
FIX: The washer did not drain after the drain pump has been running for 10 minutes. Check the washer drain and the drain hose for clogs or restrictions. If the drain path is clear, unplug the washer and check the drain pump. If the drain pump is defective, replace it.

Kenmore Washer common faults
It work really well. It washed clothes better than expected. I was really sad because I had to sell it. It was really hard having to load it and unload it. I purchased this used. My father-in-law had to fix it by putting something under the washer, so that it didnt leak. Once he did this, I didnt have any other problems. It always worked for me. The appearance of this machine was that was second hand. It had a lot of scratches and dings but worked. That is what I need it for washing my familys clothes. I got it for a remarkable price. This set lasted me probably 5 years if not more. They were still working when I had to get rid of them because I could not do laundry anymore with this type of machine.
They both worked really well and could handle all the items that I would need to clean like curtains, rugs and quilts. They both performed as expected when I had them. There are many times that I would need to wash my rugs but if they had rubber backs I could wash but not dry and if the rubber was coming off then I could not wash them at all. I like to change out my bed often and would also change out the quilts that were on my bed at that time also. My boys were hard on clothes and would seem to find all the dirt that was out there and the washer did a great job keeping those clothes clean.
Worked well enough for the price. Both were basic models with no bells nor whistles and they performed their jobs well. Neither were energy efficient but lasted many years and showed no sign of breaking down. They performed their jobs well. Got clothes clean and dry. Couldnt ask for much else considering the price.
Gets my clothes clean without damaging them, no matter what the fabric type. It can wash my delicates as well as jeans and sheets. I dont know what I would do without it. Always works when I need it, and never lets me down. It doesnt require a lot of laundry soap. Any brand will work and its very efficient. That helps stretch the amount of soap I have to buy. Very clean and ergonomic design. Looks modern without sacrificing any of the performance. Its a bit of a workhorse, and can handle heavy loads while still looking stylish. Makes laundry less stressful. I can put in a load and even if I forget it, I dont have to run it again, wasting water and soap. Saves me money and time.
Kenmore is a great product that I would highly recommend. It last a very long time with no issues. The washer got the clothes really clean. In my opinion it is even better than the newer front load washing machines that are out now. Kenmore is a brand that you cannot go wrong and a name you can completely trust.
The capacity was great from small loads to extra large loads and perfect for the messiest clothes. You dont have to use much detergent either. I have grown children who bring their laundry to my home to wash and this washer has held up with all the extra wear and tear on it. It gets the job done and you dont even know when it is running because it is quiet and very dependable machine and good at helping remove set in stains. It is very sturdy and dependable and the price is where it is affordable and reliable and even can have a service agreement put on it in the event something goes wrong. It is a wonderful item and would recommend it to my family and Friends.
My Kenmore Elite top loading washer does not adequately submerge my clothes, especially comforters in the bulky/bedding setting with water. Nor does it agitate and move the clothes around to wash them. The drum simply goes back-and-forth so the same clothes that were on the top at the beginning of the cycle are still on the top at the end of the cycle. Bulky items never change position at all. Furthermore, I do not use bleach, but the bleach container has eroded and rusted all around it. I am not satisfied with how this washes my clothes.
I have two Kenmore he5t frontloading washers, we are a family of 6. I hate them. My clothes dont come out clean and I have small holes appearing in my clothes. Im wondering if it is not filling with enough water. Not sure where the holes are coming from. I can only find one other person that also notices these small holes in the clothes...
The front load washing machine is hard to keep clean. Lint and other debris gets trapped in the door seal and smells. Even though the door is wiped every time and the magnet is used (so the door doesn’t close fully) it still stinks. My towels always smell sour once they get wet again. I don’t think this is a Kenmore issue. I think it’s front loaders in general. My next washer will not be a front loader.
Without a doubt the worst washer I have ever owned. Thankfully I purchased a protection agreement. Within the last 15 months I have had 5 major repairs. They have now rebuilt the entire machine except for the exterior body. The repairs consisted of the following: Spin Sensor replaced. April 2015. Timing mechanism replaced March 2016. New transmission May 2016. New Basket/Drum May 2016. New Motor Aug 2016.I am now arguing with Sears about replacing the machine but because I have not have 4 major repairs within a 12 month time window I do not qualify. The reason I dont have 4 within 12 months is because they combined the transmission and basket repair into 1 ticket so TECHNICALLY I do not qualify. No worries though, at this rate I am sure to need another repair within the next few months... The technician actually told me this was the worst washer Sears has ever made and they get more calls on this washer than any other. HORRIBLE MACHINE!!!
This is an HE, top loader, without agitator machine. It has no presoak cycle and I miss having one. Additionally it has no softener dispenser. It came with a softener ball which got lost with the passing of time. Had I more shopping time I would have not purchased this machine. On a positive note, it has been reliable and in ten years has had only one repair.
The performance is great, not a single problem with it. Everyone should buy this washer. Kenmore washers are amazing. Its reliability is great. Its just perfect. Not a single problem with it. I’m happy with it, so is my mom and soon to be wife loves it too. I love the front loading white washers. They are really dependable and work fine. Beyond that I think that the sound is incredibly quiet and efficient. Id say that it is a very good piece of technology. It is a highly valuable item and I was very happy when I was able to purchase it at a great price!
It did a sufficient job cleaning my clothes and getting dirt out of kids clothes. Would have liked a larger capacity. Worked well with all detergents. Had no problems with my washing machine. It did the job I needed it to do. Was extremely reliable. As expected. Its a normal washing machine. Simple, worked as intended. A washing machine doesnt need to be elegant to do its job. Our landlord purchased it for its value. No complaints from the peanut gallery. Fresh clean clothes.
It does not clean very well. It also stopped working multiple times. It leaked water consistently as well. Sometimes it would make very loud beating noises as it was spinning. It would work when it wanted to. About half of the time it would not work. It was always being repaired. It was not a very good machine. It looked like any other washer out there. But it was lacking in options to choose from. However, it did have the basics in order to get the job done. It did not cost any less than most other brands. I feel that if I had spent the same amount on another brand, that I would have a working machine.
Kenmore Model 110. This perhaps is the easiest and cheapest washer to own. I repaired mine and it only cost me $40 bucks in parts to almost do a complete overall. Its over 15 years old and all those side loading so-called HE washers are way too delicate and cost hundreds to thousands to own. Do yourself a favor and go to used appliance store and buy one of these 110 models. May not be the prettiest girl in the bunch but she sure as hell will not leave you hanging like these new ones made today. You can thank me in 15- 20 yrs.
This is for a “600 series” washer. For some reason, I search for that, and this is what I get. My 600 series HE washer is, first of all, highly electronic. All its controls are electronic in nature, and took some getting used to. For months, I was never quite sure how to get it to do what I wanted it to do. What I had to do was a big disappointment.HE means “high efficiency.” The washer apparently weighs what you put in it, then adds a very minimal amount of water to do the wash. The lid locks when underway, so it’s hard to see, but I have stopped it mid-cycle only to discover only about 1” of water in the tub! That was barely enough to wet, and not enough even to cover them! No wonder my clothes came out with an obvious dirty residue. So much for high efficiency!No, in order to get my clothes clean, I have to run every cycle on “deep fill” and “double rinse,” and that means always using the “heavy duty” cycle. Like those “high efficiency,” low volume toilets which need to be flushed 4 times, what we have to do to get a wash that is cleaner than it went in eliminates any and all efficiency! This washer, if you want clean clothes, probably uses twice as much water, twice as much energy and takes twice as long as a regular, non-HE washer! If I had a choice, I would never have bought this washer (there is not much to choose from), at least not without spending 2X+ as much. I would certainly never buy one of these again.
I really love my washer because it isnt loud and disruptive while I am doing other chores or trying to focus on a specific task. Especially when you have small children napping a few rooms over, this is important. I have had no issues with this washer. It cleans my clothes perfectly and I never have to worry that the laundry wont get done due to malfunctions in this model. Its sleek and shiny, this washer is easy to take care of and needs very little cleaning to make it stay that way. I would definitely recommend. It was better than my last machine and I am so very happy with it.
We bought the machine about 5 years ago. After the first year, it started giving me error. Went on internet and it said it was door switch problem. Ordered one and put it in, no difference. The next advice was to replace a board. I reset the wires and it worked fine for months. Then started again. So have to reset the wires regularly now. Then it started dumping water on the floor about every 4-5 loads. Am looking for a solution. Im 77 and its hard for me to do repairs now.
I love my washing machine, it has been very dependable. In the future I probably would not buy a front loader again because of having to leave it open always. Sadly to say I do not even know if a person is still able to purchase a Kenmore machine.
I bought this Kenmore high efficiency washer 4 years ago, in 2017. I noticed clothes did not get as clean as with my old washer (which took 15 years before replacement was needed). There were other conveniences that were missing; for example, there was no way just to spin wet clothes, as there were with other washers. The washer needed frequent attention to adjust off balance loads. Finally, 2 months ago (May 2021), the washer refused to turn on. A service technician came 6/10 and said we needed a new board, which he ordered. The part has been on backorder since then. My only communication with Sears/Kenmore is when I call them. Their customer service reps politely tell me that the part is still on backorder, and they will escalate my request. I still have no working washer, and a service agreement which is not being honored. My advice is to consider another brand of washer.
I bought a Sears Kenmore Washer and purchased an extended warranty. This machine has flooded my basement on at least six occasions, three times causing extensive damage. They have replaced the seal three times and the motor twice. They have forgotten to replace the front cover, leaving wires exposed. I have called, and spoken to dozens of people on what must be every department. The only thing in common, is that they refuse to take responsibility for this defective machine.
I have had bad experiences with Whirlpool washers in the past. Less than five years ago, we decided to purchase a new washer since our two-year old Whirlpool washer was giving us endless problems. We purchased a Kenmore Elite from Sears. We did not know that our washer was actually a Whirlpool washer. We have started with the same problems with this washer as we did with our Whirlpool washer. I just learned that our machine was actually manufactured by Whirlpool. I was told by Kenmore that other Kenmore Elite washing machines were recalled with the same problem, but does not include my model.I was transferred to so many different places, including Maytag (why Maytag?) to try to resolve my problem. If my machine is having the same problem as those other models that were recalled, there is a great chance that mine should be included in the recall. I never got to speak to the right department. The repair is costing me half of what I would have to pay for a new one. Now, I dont know where to go to get a reliable washing machine. I thought that paying a descent amount was going to give me a descent working machine. I believe that disclosing the manufacturer on appliances should be required because not everything that shines is gold. A reliable brand on the outside is not always what you get on the inside!
It is designed well. The finish and appearance look very good still, it has not deteriorated in all the time that I have had it. It still works and performs like it did when it was brand new, keeps my clothes clean, and the controls allow me to customize the wash exactly how I want it. Its definitely reliable, always works great, no repairs necessary and never breaks. They are well built, made out of strong materials, solid, and very durable. Its a fairly good money layout. Also, when its time to buy a new one, I can always sell the old one.
The performance of this machine is good. I never have any problems with it. I am satisfied with the performance and what it has done. I can always count on this Kenmore machine to get the job done. Whenever I put clothes in the machine, they always come out clean and gets all the dirt and grime out. The appearance does not mean much to me at all. I could really care less about how it looks from the exterior. I got a good deal when I first bought this machine. For the amount of money that I paid for, the Kenmore machine did not let me down and met my expectations.
My clothes come out clean and the stains are removed. Its easy to use and is fairly quiet. The knobs come off on the unit and sometimes I need to use pliers to turn the handle. Im pleased with how reliable it is. It just happened to be a problem with the handles and knobs that fall off. Its not overused as there are only two people in this house. Its very stylish as washers go. Equally distributed buttons and knobby. Its easy to keep clean and is appealing. Its very quiet and seems to make very little movement.The value of a washing machine is the way it cleans the clothing. It seems that this units such as this have a great value because they seem to work very well.
My other washer broke. Checked reviews and found this. So glad I did. Real quiet and has great settings. The review was right. I dont mind laundry day now. It has enough space for a good size load. The towels I still keep in a separate load habit but its big enough to include some with others. Would be nice if they came in different colors but controls dont stand out and it fit easily in the door. A nice blue would be nice. Good value. I shopped around to about 3 different stores. Asking about price matching does help if its not in stock where the price is lowest.
My name is Penny ** and I have had mold and bad moldy smell from my Kenmore Washer for many years now. My clothes will smell and the washer tub would smell moldy and stagnated. I never received any type of postal mail is regards to the court action lawsuit nor the settlement action from the class suit against Kenmore & the bad odor from mold in the Kenmore washing machine.Tonight on channel 9 Eyewitness News I just saw the Settlement Action Lawsuit by chance. I went online & filled out the settlement claim online today 9/26/16. I did purchase a Kenmore washer Model: 402 49032010 and Serial No: Y0AG54A2707312M (YOA or Y0A?) in 2006 from Sears store in Gastonia NC and we began to notice a smell a few years later in 2009. I am sending this request because in the initial claim I was only given 3 options of $50 was, 20% rebate, or reimbursement on repairs. I am requesting to ask if we can just ask for a brand new up date front loader Washer instead of any cash, rebates, or % off??? Could I possibly get the name of the attorney that is handling this lawsuit? The odor is sooo bad and the rim gets so much black junk and I have to clorox out the tub so very often. We would just enjoy a brand new washer is that is at all possible? Thank you.
We purchased the Kenmore water/energy efficient washer and we wash on either room temperature or warm water. Laundry most of the time come out not as expected with unclean chocolate stains as an example. Also, we were told by Kenmore that we have to run the express cycle (Very hot water) with vinegar in the detergent pocket to remove residual detergent and to improve the washer ability to clean even normal day to day stains. We are not happy with our purchase. Another aspect that made us unhappy is the annual PM included in a 5 year warranty (paid extra) that often the subcontractor is sending washer-untrained technicians to perform the PM.
This is the best washer ever. It runs all day and night without an issue. Even heavy loads seems to get really clean. Dirt comes out and everything is shiny and white. The washer is very reliable and has lasted a long time for me and my family. I suggest anyone who wants this washer to buy one. The gears are really nice. I wish there were other models which were not so white and shiny because it makes everything else look dirty. Please make a duet colored washer. Id pay a little over $100 for this washer again if I wasnt flat broke.
My washer is a little bit older now. It had a good run, was good while it lasted, got all of my stuff clean and had plenty of different setting options. It is on its way out, any load may be its last. I wish it would have lasted a little bit longer, but maybe 5 years is all you can expect out of washer machine??
I bought a Kenmore Elite Washer, Model 796.4147.2210 in May 2013. It has worked just fine until yesterday when it simply stopped powering on. I hit the power button and nothing happens. None of the buttons will work. If I unplug the machine and wait a couple minutes, it will work -- But, after a while or one load, it will go dead again. After searching the internet, I am guessing this is a problem with the Main Control Board, a $220 part. This is pretty much the most expensive washer Kenmore makes, and it was very highly rated. Bought at Sears and they installed it. So disappointing!
This washer was in a 4-year-old house we recently bought. It is a top loader and looks to have been new when the house was built. The washers latest shenanigan was to flash the sensing light after it had filled. Information on the internet said to press the pause/start button. So, I did and the machine drained the full tub of water! In addition, I cannot be sure that it has rinsed the clothes, because sometimes it just spins very slowly while squirting a small amount of water on the clothes. Sometimes, the tub fills and actually rinses. This stupid thing takes an hour to wash a load of clothes! What in heavens name is that? It surely isnt saving me any time or energy. Were going to look for something else tomorrow.
Its a good washer and has last many years. It has never broke down and never given me any problems. It does a good job cleaning so I like it very much. It has fit all of my problem since I have had this washer. It is strong and really does a good job cleaning my and my familys clothes so it has been good to me and has done its job good. The look of this washer is very nice. It sets up well and does not move. I like the way it looks and it fits all of the things around the house. It cost a little more than I thought it would but it has paid for itself many time over so I really can not complain about the price of this washer.
It is quiet and cleans very well. I like the size and load ability. I think for a no frills washer this is the best choice as it works well and serves the purpose quite well. Ive never had any problems with mine. It has been very dependable the entire time I have owned mine. Im not disappointed in it. Id recommend it. It has a classic look that fits well with anything. It isnt fancy yet looks very nice. I dont care much about looks. Id rather have a washer clean well. I thought it was a little high priced for being a plain jane washer but in the end I am very happy with it and very glad I bought it. Its worth what you pay for it.
My Kenmore top load washer 500 series is junk. Been dealing with this piece of crap for three years. My problem washer goes into spin mode and makes a load boom bounces hard shakes and stops spin. Very scary. Had two service tech out change the computer board and one changes the tub ring. Still having the same problem. Dont want to use it anymore because I fear its going to break my floor tiles when in spin mode. It shakes and bounces so hard. Its a piece of crap. Going to call the service department once again if they dont fix it they find in their showroom dont buy this washer. Its crap.
It cleans very good. Easy to work. Buttons are easy to press and Works really well. Very pleased. I have not had a problem. I wash clothes at least 3 times a week cause I have a newborn. Washes really good. Its small and fits right in the corner of the basement. I really like this model. Its lightweight. I can move it if I need to. I got this on sale but would of paid full price. Was not expensive at all. And it was worth every penny I paid for it. I really recommend this one.
This washing machine works perfectly... Has never failed. I have never been happier with a washing machine. I can even wash quilts and rugs in it with no problem... I also wash my horses saddle pads and her blankets in it with no problem and always works perfect. I wash everything from small things, basic laundry all the way up to blankets and quilts. Washing machine is very clean and stylish looking. Will go with any decor you may have. I prefer the country style myself and it works great with my decor. The price was extremely competitive... Especially when you find it on sale. I did not feel bad about what I paid when I left the store... Well worth every single penny.
Simple to use and very convenient. I have a big family and my washer is like my nanny and best friend. I love it! Dont know exactly what Id do without it. My husband likes it too. I have never had a problem with my washer. My clothes are always clean. Its not noisy. It doesnt run my water bill up too high. Its spacious. My washer is white. It is square. It is pretty. It is clean. It looks wonderful in my house. Its stylish. Im so happy I bought it!! The value is outrageous. Its worth more than I paid for it in my personal opinion. I would have paid more. I know people who love my washer and would have paid much more.
The performance is top notch. It washes and clean clothes thoroughly. I havent had any problems with it. It always spins fast and finish my clothes in no time. It even works great on some of the toughest materials. I have had this washer for about 3 years and I havent had any problems. It hasnt even clumped out on me yet. It cleans my clothes to perfection and always gets the job done. The appearance is very basic bit still nice. Its nothing to brag about but its nice. Its white all over and have coloring in the words and symbols. Its value was very fair. It was definitely worth every penny I paid for it. It performs at a very high quality for its value. I would definitely recommend.
Its quiet, dependable, energy-efficient and really works hard. Eight loads a week and it holds up. Does blankets, rugs, work clothes, coats, regular laundry. Works well with heavy loads too. For the price we paid, we have not had a repair bill. Its easy to use and clean. It can be moved easily, and with one person. We love it and once in a while family brings things when their washer breaks down.
This washer is terrible. It uses soooo little water that I have 1) remaining soap residue on my clothes, 2) can only do VERY small loads of clothes, 3) I need to always do a 2nd rinse. This washer is not saving me time nor water!! I have always had skin problems. They ARE worse due soap remaining in our clothes!! Have had multiple repairmen out here. Have done everything they have told me to try! They also tell me that they have a lot of calls on this particular washer!! Many problems! Nothing works!! I am calling again tomorrow to order yet another service call. I would sell this washer and buy another one but I cannot pass this along to another unsuspecting person!!! I am sick and tired of this!! Something has to be done!! The only positive thing is it is still under warranty and we do not have to pay for the service calls! If this continues, we are going to load it up and roll it right into the showroom - Sears Brookfield Square - Brookfield, WI and that is not just idle talk - it is a promise!!
This Kenmore pair are now made by LG. They are horrible. They open and close the water inlet rapidly like a bang, bang, bang. They have ruined the plumbing pipes. This is not only my washer, but my brothers, too. After only 3 years, the gears squeak and the motor whines. They were very expensive, but when we move into our new home next month, we will leave them behind and just let the new owners have them.
It did the job. It agitated properly and got my clothes clean. Really spun them and got the excess water out to make drying them easier. Very reliable and seems like it is really well made. I love get more products. It has enough space capacity to meet my laundry needs of a family of six. Four children under the age of 11 means lots of grass stains and dirty clothes. Looks sleek but also looks just like a lot of other washing machines out there. I like the style is simple and isnt a sight for sore eyes. I feel you get what you pay for when it comes to home appliances. This was a bit more expensive but definitely worth it and the warranty it came with.
Works well. Drawback is the rinse cycle doesnt always rinse well and multiple rinse cycles may be needed. Easy to use. Settings are clear. Washer has been reliable. Have used it regularly for a few years now and have had no problems at all with it. The appearance of this appliance is good. Standard white front loading washer. Glass door so you can watch it wash your delicates. I am satisfied with the value of the washer I have. It does what it is supposed to and I have not had any mechanical problems with the Kenmore washer. Worth the money for that reliability.
The washers appearance is nothing out of the ordinary and is not too complicated to use. It is very reliable and I use probably 3 times a day. It works great. It washes my clothes really well and I havent had any problems with it since I have bought it. I have never had a washer like it before. It is one of the best washers Ive owned and the value of the washer is well beyond the price. It is totally worth the price I paid and would probably buy another one if anything ever happens to my washer.
Love it. That is the best washer ever that has ever been made. I wish they would make more like that. This should be rated number 1. It has the best wash cycle ever.
My Kenmore washer looks nice and clean. I like the appearance and it fits with my other appliances very nicely. I would have like to have a more vibrant color though, but its performance OK. It works well and has a lot of room. It gets the clothes clean and can even wash a comforter in it which is nice because I usually have to take them out of the house to wash them. Its reliable and so far so good. I have not had to have repairs done and it gets the job done. The value is good too for what I got. It was actually cheaper than I thought it would be at first which was very pleasing.
The ice maker in this Kenmore/Whirlpool/KitchenAid Ice Maker draws a standard load when heating the mold BUT the Timer-Control Module W10190935 which has to control & pass the current, cannot handle the load. It appears a lot of customers have the same problem, as the module is overheating and creates a fire hazard.
Sears doesnt make a quality product like they used to. (Does anyone?) Why cant they just leave well enough alone? I had an excellent Kenmore washer for 20 years - no problems whatsoever. So I buy this one, and its been THE worst purchase Ive made. It takes about 45 min for a regular load to wash, its very loud and it completely broke within 2 years. The repairman said the sensor pad is made by Whirlpool and its badly designed. This is a very bad washer and Im very disappointed in Sears.
Last a long time. Washes and rinses acceptable. Has different water levels. Different wash cycles. Fits in a small area. Looks good. Best washer I have ever used. Reliable, runs forever. I have had mine for over 20 years and it has not broken down even one time. Easy to set up, powerful. Appearance was a basic white, top loader, slot for soap in two places, easy to move if needed, not too big so it does not take up too much space. Nice. Considering how long I have been using the washer I say it was a great bargain, thought it was too pricey at first but when you are still using 20 years later it was a steal.
Kenmore elite oasis washer - This washer is a total piece of crap. I have had it 2 yrs and I am going to set it on fire in my backyard on Saturday when my new one gets here. A total piece of garbage. I was going to try and trade it on craigslist to a handyman or something and at least get something I can actually wash clothes in but I prefer to burn. No one buy one from Sears and shame on them for selling such a piece of crap...
Does what its supposed to do. Very happy with the different settings. We use them all. Clothes come out clean. Also like set and go ability. We had this for four years and its not given us any trouble. Works every time, does what its supposed to do. We are happy with the reliability. Washes good. Sleek looking machine with up to date buttons and settings. We like the look of this machine very much. Its why we chose it. We liked the value of this washing machine very much. We shopped around and compare models and prices and landed on the Kenmore and didnt look back.
It has a big door that you can open it and put clothes quickly and take it out faster - also you can wash a large amount of clothes in a very short time. It has programs that use it to clean dirty spot and a high quality. Also it keep clothes materials good so you can keep your clothes like new. You can put a 10 kilograms in it because its big from inside. Also its color is white and the door is a light blue glass that help you to see inside it clearly. Because it has too many programs to help you it has a not expensive price. I wish if they put sales or discount to help people to buy it.
Have had this machine longer than I have ever owned one and I do 3 or more loads a day. Prior to this one I had 2 others and they went in a matter of 6 years. It is important to buy quality appliances.
This product value worths its price, it is easier and faster, no more stress of doing dirty job yourself and if you are tired of stressing yourself go for it. You wont make any regret purchasing the product. It is durable and it works faster than many healthy men can do and this will save your time, money and energy. The washer is beautiful and unique, and eye catching. It has enough space to clean and dry your clothes, no stain and no destruction of your cloth and it is very good. The amount you spent to get it, you are not going to regret this since you will enjoy the product more than what you pay to acquired the product.
Great washer, never had any complaints after 12 years of ownership! I would highly recommend purchasing this brand or Kenmore Elite. I found the key (start/stop) buttons to be very easy to maneuver and is very easy to clean inside and outside.
I purchased this washer brand new from my local Sears store about 4 years ago and just now getting around to writing a review. Truth be told, I finally got fed up with having to wash my whites 2-3 times or by hand to remove stains. Not sure if its the lack of an agitator or what but this machine has not cleaned my laundry properly since day one. Next week I will be replacing.
It was a bit loud but nothing closing the door couldnt handle. I felt it was worth what I paid for it. This was a good device. I didnt have much trouble with it while it was in the house. It did a good job cleaning and needed little maintenance or repair work. I liked it although its a washer. Theyre only going to look so good so youre only going to care so much about it. I cant say I got it for appearances so it didnt really matter to me much on what it looked like. I would say this product was of good value to me for my needs. It lasted me well for a good few years and I found servicing was not frequent. I replaced it recently because I was redoing the kitchen.
Kenmore Series 110 washing machine - My three year old washing machine began making very loud noise during the spin cycle. Turns out the bearings and seals are shot. A four to five hundred dollar repair according to the technician. My last Kenmore lasted 22 years. I want the old model back!
This has been the most dependable washer Ive owned in quite awhile. Its just too sad that Kenmore appliances are not very popular since Sears has left the retail world. I was always a Sears/Kenmore customer for all of my major appliances purchases.
I think that the washer is a very good one even compared to the others on the market. It has good speed and quality and is not difficult to set up. I think that it is a very reliable washer. It has never broke on us and weve had it for 3 years. It has never malfunctioned or slowed down or overflowed etc. I would definitely recommend it to others. Its sleek and futuristic and could match in any house. Its a nice size and doesnt take up all the room. I think its the perfect washer and would buy it again. Its the perfect washer for me. I would def recommend it to mothers. Although youre paying a little extra its worth the price because of quality and reliability.
This is the first time ever in my 67 years life have commented or wrote a review about any product. Kenmore 600 series, triple action, top load washing machine is the worst washing machine I have ever used. It wastes water, detergent, electricity and your time; and you will wind up taking your laundry to commercial washing places after all. It does not have an option for small load water level; Even if you are planning to wash a very small load.After my faithful washing machine broke down after 25 years, I purchased this Kenmore washing Machine. This machine takes a long time to wash clothes (basically just wet the clothes not wash). After I work around the yard every 2 or 3 days I wash my work clothes (3-4 pants and 6 or 7 shirts and socks). I wash them with heavy duty, power wash and 2 rinses. It takes 1 hour 21 minutes. After all, that noise, filling and refilling water, wasting the detergents, the garden soil on my pants knees are still there. I can smear the dirt away with my fingers. Clothes are as dirty as you put them in. Except they are all wet. My wife is so mad for after spending close to $700.00 she has to make a trip to laundromat every week to wash our clothes.
I feel as though it is a good washing machine. My clothes come out of it fresh and clean. And the washing machine it easy to keep clean, thats good. It seems to be very reliable. I can wash a lot of my clothes at one time. In a shorter amount of time. And it does not make a lot of noise. It has a very nice look to it. It looks new and very professional. It is just the right size. Not too big not too small. Just the size desired. It is a very worthful piece of equipment. I did not have to pay a really large amount when I purchased it. And it gets everything that I want done.
This was purchased in 2016 for about $1300.00 USD. This year, 2018, an error began showing on the display, LE. The error is indicating a motor failure. Our 2010 Kenmore Toploader still works fine, never had any issues with it. Moving on, Kenmore telephone support was both unhelpful and rather brash in nature, whilst I was polite at all times. The representative was uncaring, had no positive or helpful information, other than to provide the cost of the motor at $62.73 USD. When I asked for the cost to install the motor, $99.99 to look at the washer and give an estimate on the repair cost! Any company is fully aware of the time necessary to install a part such as a motor, yet Kenmore wants $99.99 to tell you how much they will bleed you for the repair. In short, this washer is an expensive pile of junk, so avoid Kenmore products, they are now low-quality junk for high-dollar prices. I wish I could say I am not an owner as they suckered me out of hard-earned money. I will never buy another Kenmore product in this lifetime.
I have been a Kenmore user since I started buying appliances. I have never been disappointed, and so I keep coming back. This low efficiency washer is awful. Hardly adds any water at all; its washboard does its best to destroy and rip up your clothes (I have pictures if anyone doubts me); this cycle is so long that you cannot do more that one load of washing in one night. Laundry used to be fun for me. And BTW, clothes are still not clean.
I didnt love front loading washers. They dont last as long as top loading. And a lot of bending. You also have to worry about the washer leaving a smell... Have to clean it often so water doesnt sit in the rubber suction area. I think the product is reliable. It definitely gets the job done. My clothes come out clean and aint all thats really matters. I have had it about a year and havent had any problems besides water and debris build up in the rubber suction area. I got the washer because I just loved the look. Its white and looks high end. I was happy with the appearance and it is what helped me decoded on which to get when I was searching for a new one. I would say the price is on the higher side but I would say for a a washer like this they are all on the higher side. It was still reasonable just more than I really planned and hoped to spend.
Have not had any problems with this. It does the job and didnt cost me an arm and a leg to get it. Does not use too much water, and it was very easy to install. I never have to have this services. It works every time and I am completely satisfied with how my clothes are washed. I only use cold water, so this machine is a good choice. I paid somewhere 200 to 300 dollars and I think it is a valuable piece of machinery that has easily paid me back in the time it has saved me doing laundry.
This washer is great as far as capacity and is energy efficient which is great. However, it is CONSTANTLY uneven, even after the tech was out and replaced the control board, rotors, and a number of other working parts. Ive had tech out a total of 3 times and Im now scheduled for a 4th appointment and I dont know what the tech is going to do to fix it now because pretty much everything on this washer has been replaced. Honestly, I would like a different style of washer because this one has not lived up to its expectations. Im very dissatisfied but luckily I have the 5 year warranty through SEARS because I would be paying a lot for parts and labor if I didnt. I was told that this washer was recalled and I can definitely see why.
I bought the washer about 18 months ago. It quit working. Sears tech said main control board is defective. To me, that is a factory defect yet I had to pay 320 for extended warranty. Ive called many times, Sears just keeps throwing my calls between the reps. Ive not had a washer for a month!
I have owned my Kenmore top loading washing machine for 10 years. It may not be the most attractive washing machine but it is definitely the most reliable and dependable washing machine that I have ever owned. It has never failed me once and gets all my clothes very clean. I have recommended the Kenmore washer to many of my friends and have never heard of any breakdowns or repairs. I know that someday this machine will quit on me and when that day occurs, I will go right back to the Sears store and buy another Kenmore!
I wasnt pleased with new front loader. After writing complaints Sears came through and I now can say they stand by their products. Thank you!
This Kenmore Elite Top Loader Washer 29002000 is the most I have ever spent on a washer & is the only one that I have ever owned with so many problems! Takes an 1 1/2 hrs to wash on heavy duty cycle. Will not get the clothes clean on the normal cycle - rust around bleach fill & door hinges. Constantly running water & have to start over with spin & drain to finish. Always goes out of balance - tangles & twist clothes. The detergent, fabric softener, & bleach all fill full of water at end of cycle. Have never wasted this much time babysitting a washer that costs so much! Very disappointed in Kenmore.
Bought the big Kenmore Elite Washer High Capacity Topload machine with impeller. Sears installed it. Always having issues with the load balance. Wish I could return for a front load. Poorly designed tub...
It not the best at getting clothes clean. Doesnt agitate well but it does save on water and soap. The spin cycle twists the clothes and wrinkles them. I had to repair the washer three times and I had to buy an extended warranty three times to help cover the breakdowns. Several other items have broken. The design is stylish and sleek looking. The see through top helps when the load is imbalanced. The locking lid is also helpful and the operating knobs nice too. The cost was on the high end compared to other brands and when compared to the problems and extra money I had to spend on warranties made this a bad value.
Bought my top load washing machine with matching dryer 11 years ago and have never had any issues with it. My 19 year old grandson does his own laundry too and figured out all the features on his own.
The washer performs wonderfully, without having any kinds of malfunctions or leakage problems. It gets my clothes and towels clean in a short amount of time and is very quiet when it is doing its cycle. This washer is very reliable as far as being big enough to fit all of my needed items and the time it takes to thoroughly clean all of my clothes. It does everything that I need it to do in a short amount of time. The washer has a very beautiful appearance. It is very sleek and modern in its design, making it have a very nice appearance. The design is very clean looking and looks well in my modern house. This washer has a very good value for what I paid for it. Ive definitely gotten my moneys worth out of this washer. It works very efficiently and is the best washer Ive ever had.
It always kept my clothes clean and washed them very well. I would go out while my clothes were washing and I never have had trouble with it. Always trust my clothes in there. Had no trouble with it, set the timer and off I go. Never had to worry about your clothes. You will be satisfied and very happy with the wonderful work it does for your clothes. It is such an amazing washer. It will keep your clothes fresh and clean. Never disappointing. You will love it. Very helpful washer and does many wonderful work.
We installed our washing machine in 2001. It is still running great. We have had no repairs nor problems in that time. We wanted to update our laundry room but did not have the heart to throw out a good machine.
After 27 years I needed to buy a new washer and there were only ones without agitators so that is what we bought. Worst decision ever. There is no soak cycle; clothes often end up under one item like a parachute without getting clean or rinsed and causing another wash cycle. Absolutely dislike this washer.
This washer is excessively noisy. It makes many different noises and is totally annoying! The washer does not fill up with enough water even when you select Deep Fill. You must put the detergent in before you load your clothes and this completely stained a new shirt. The fill rate is slow. If you need to stop the washer it does not cancel out properly. The cycle takes too long.
We have a 2-year old Kenmore Series 700 Washer. On December 12th the hose on the rear of the machine failed due to corrosion. Our home was flooded. The hose was replaced and failed again in 3 weeks due to corrosion or some chemical reaction. We had our house re-grounded by an electrical company. Two weeks later the same result. We need technical help so that we do not have another $100,000 insurance claim.
I bought a Kenmore Dryer in July 2014. Within 9 months the Lint trap began to morph and catch clothing/linens thereby ruining many. Recently I looked up this issue on the Internet and discovered it is quite common. I have seen a few customers have received free replacement parts that will easily remedy this problem. Today l spent 2.5 hours on the phone asking for help to no avail. Every person I spoke with, there were 8: were professional, kind and understanding. I cannot boast more about the excellent level of wonderful your employees exhibit.My plea is: Could LG please take a look at my machine and include its model number into the small group flashed about this problem? I am hoping LG will agree to send the replacement part(s) to me without charge, as occurred with others in late 2014. My only mistake was not being computer savvy enough to find this site sooner at the best possible time. Because I need to use zipper mesh bags to prevent rips - my clothes are continuously wrinkled after drying. I am asking for mercy and help to remedy this issue, which is quite small in the whole scope of the vastness and excellence of LG. Thank You for your consideration. I look forward to your response.
I wish I had read all these reviews before I spent my money on the Sears Kenmore Elite washer. My Husband passed away and my Daughters family invited me to live with them. I offered to do the laundry for the family and with 7 people I started to shop for a large capacity washer. I had had Sears washers in the past and never had a problem so when I went into the Sears store the sales person showed me the Kenmore Elite and told me It was what I was looking for. I was so excited and when it came 2 young men came in and threw it in place and hooked up the water and out they went. I put my first load in and within minutes I got the UE. I looked in the book to see what to do. I did not realize that it would keep filling up with water. I called a repair person and they told me I could fill the washer clear to the top. He balanced it and found that the men that hooked it up had the cold and hot water switched.I have had my Kenmore Elite for nearly two years. I can not leave the washer because I constantly have to stop it and readjust the clothes. I had a repair person out again this past week. The one that came on February 18th told me mix the loads. It would make it better on weight. February 26 another repair man came and replaced parts. He told me I should only fill the washer 1/2 and I should ball each piece of clothes and put them on the outside of the drum not putting any thing in the middle and only wash towels with towels and jeans with jeans. He said if these parts do not work for me there is not much else they can do to help. Wow. The cost of the washer and warranty. A lot of money. I will spread the word not to buy a Sears product again.
Cleans well with all types of cycles and clothing. There is a regular, delicate, permanent press cycle. There are also different size loads such as small, med, large, and super large. Works well at all times. The cycles, water level, all the different settings are very dependable. They work accurately and effectively. It is an older model but has the basic dials and settings. It is white in color which is fine with me as I keep in the garage so no one really sees it. This is not an expensive model so that I feel it is a great value. It is basic in washers without a whole lot of fancy cycles and dials.
A little over 14 years ago we purchased our one-piece stacked Kenmore Washer/Dryer from Sears for $599. Since then, Ive used the unit nearly every day for our family. I just wanted to let you that its working great and Id recommend the Kenmore stacked Washer/Dryer to anyone. Its nice to know that in this day of disposable products the Sear stacked Washer/Dryer is a product I can depend on.
I purchased Kenmore Elite washer in 2010 and truly wish I had read these reviews before my purchase. I have always purchased my appliances from Sears and felt that after spending almost $1000, that I had a great washer. Yes, my bleach compartment has rusted and also the machine was leaking. Had to purchase rods. Also, it doesnt wash any better than any less expensive model. Clothes wrinkle as others have commented. Also found out that it is really made by LG and Kenmore just put its name on the product. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS WASHER!
I called Sears because my washer is making holes in my clothing because the agitator does not sit flush at the bottom and the clothes get stuck and wrapped around it and it is difficult to unravel them. The strings also get entwined as well. This has been an ongoing problem since I had the machine. Noticing when I went online the Sears Elite Oasis has had ongoing problems as well as the one I just mentioned above. It is a lemon and should be replaced. They dont even sell this machine anymore. I guess thats telling me something. Sears wants to send a service man and charge me for something that clearly is a manufacturers defect. I said absolutely not. Please direct me as to how I can get them to replace or repair it without any cost to me. Thank you.
Where I pour in the bleach and under the top lip of washing machine is rusting! I run my washer through cleaning cycling but these areas are bad and I feel like it should not be doing this, especially so soon! I would figure they would make it more adaptable for the bleach area! We bought our washer from Sears in Statesboro, GA!
Bought the Kenmore Oasis Washing Machine, 110.270 and just like thousands of others on this board, my machine started showing an F1 error code. It also started shaking the house and sounded like a rocket taking off during the spin cycle. Just google Whirlpool bearing or Kenmore bearing and youll see many more issues just like mine. Turns out, Kenmore/Sears is doing a quiet recall of the control board. Theyll send a tech out to replace your control board. This procedure takes no more than 15 minutes to complete and the average homeowner could do it themselves in minutes. HOWEVER...What is not under quiet recall is the loud and unbearable rocket sound during the spin cycle. That fix will require that your bearings be replaced on your unit. Is the bearing failure caused by the bad control board? Im not an engineer so I dont know but if I read the 1000s of posts, you rarely see one without the other. So this is where the story gets interesting. According to Sears, Whirlpool offers a 10-year warranty on the Whirlpool tub of the washing machine. The Whirlpool tub hereto now includes the bearings and shaft. Well, guess what? Whirlpool started fielding so many complaints that they made a kit (separate from the tub) that allows technicians to replace the bearings separate from the tub. Guess what? That bearing kit is not covered by the 10-year warranty because its now considered separate from the tub. It will now cost the homeowner $160-180 for the bearing kit and approximately $150-$200 for the service. That equates to roughly $350++ to repair a part that is clearly a manufacturer defect. This defect is so popular that appliance shops have created videos on how to fix the machine yourself. There are many posts about the poor quality of the Whirlpool Cabrio and Kenmore Oasis washing machines - related to the bearing failure and the control board issues. I have lost complete confidence in both of these brands for how they have handled the issue. I will do my best to never purchase either brand in the future.
My wife and I bought both Washer and Dryer on 10/20/11 and the washer had a recall and every scene they came out and did whatever they had to things have been crazy - the washer always gets out of balance. The other day the tub hit the front shell of the washer, it is a piece of scrap that should of went to a scrap yard for junk. The recall was for reprogram control unit.
The Kenmore washer had very good reviews and a 90 percent approval rating. I ordered it online and received free shipping and free installation. This was also at a deep discount with me only paying $350 for it and in the whole time I have had I can see why it received such good reviews. I like that it has something of a touchscreen on it. There are about a dozen different wash cycles to choose from like whites, colors, heavy, delicate and normal. There are also an option to have it chime and a fabric softener button and a dispenser for bleach. However, the tub is not very secure in the washer or at least it seems so. You can reach in and grab on to the edge of the tub and move and shake it around. It is also very deep and it is hard to reach all the clothes since I am so short.
Lasted a long time and did a great job washing and drying our clothes. Have nothing else to say at this time besides what I have already written.
We purchased a Kenmore Elite washer 7-4-11. It was not much trouble in the first few months but I always had to make sure I did a large load or the machine would constantly be out of balance. Recently, I got a safety recall on the machine recently. I had the repairman out to install the update necessary. He has been out three times now and my problems have grown to the point of no return. I am totally unhappy with this machine and your update. As soon as I can get money saved up, it is out of my sight and being replaced with a different brand. You have got to be kidding if you think people are not going to drive you crazy with complaints. If you do a light load, it goes through 3 or 4 Rinse cycles and is constantly out of balance. It now takes 2 to 2 1/2 hours to do a small load of laundry and you call that efficient! I stay at home so I am able to stand over the stupid thing, but for working people, it will be a nightmare. My advice is to stay away from any Kenmore Elite. It sucks!
High Efficiency how? The washer runs 2x as long and have to (at least) double rinse every load to get HE soap residue off the clothes. It probably uses less water but takes twice as long to do a load.
I thought I would never have good smelling towels again and the washer did the trick. It can really hold a lot of clothing inside. Overall very happy with it. Its performance is long lasting. This washer is very reliable I can always count on it to wash all of my heavy loads of clothing exactly when I need it. I hardly ever have any technical issues with it. This washer has a generally attractive appearance. When I originally bought this washer it was on sale and I think I am satisfied with the value of it. The warranty is great and its worth the money to have fresh smelling clothes.
The performance was awesome. It cleaned my clothes really well. It wasnt fancy which made it extremely easy for me to use and to teach my young son how to wash clothes. It was extremely reliable. I never had any issues with it ever. I was able to wash big loads which is a plus for me because I am so busy. The appearance was basic. I prefer the old style appliances compared to the newer ones that are hard to figure out. It was very easy to clean the inside and outside. It is not very pricey and gets the job done easily. It is worth every penny. I would recommend it to anyone who has a tight budget and wants a great product.
Kenmore Elite Oasis washer - I bought ours in 07 and started having trouble 6 months after we bought it! It wouldnt start when you pushed the button! We had to keep turning it off and on to get it to finally start! My husband is a Mr. Fix It so he figured out it was the computer board! He made sure all the wires were attached and such! I called Sears to complain and of course, they said I could get a repairman out! I told them it was 6 months old! My husband ordered a new board and put it in then it worked! Then a few months later, it started leaking water on the floor! Thank goodness its in the basement with a drain by it! So I kept using it! So yesterday, I heard a horrible racket coming from the basement, so I ran down and it was spinning with this terrible noise coming from it. So Ive been looking on the net for answers. They did recall them but not until 2010! So mine is too old! Hopefully, my husband can fix it again! Im so disappointed in this washer! You would think for as much money you spend, it wouldnt have this many problems! Our 1st washer lasted 20 years. It was a Maytag. Im not sure if that brand is better or they just dont make them like they used to. I would never recommend this washer to anyone!
The Kenmore washer is easy to use, seldom needs repair, used mine 14 years, never had any reason to complain, do recommend service policy, attractive in my laundry room, large drum, and dries large loads. I had a large family and usually did four loads a day, seven days a week, extra large loads always got clean and dry. Matching set never let me down, easy to load and use, had cycles to do what I wanted it to do. The matched set always looked like they belonged in a store showcase. Laundry room on first floor, no sense trying to hide in basement. Proud to own them! I have been married over 50 years and this was my third matched Kenmore set. Never let me down! Prices were always below or comparable to any other brand. Anytime I wanted or needed 1 or 2 set, I went to Sears to buy Kenmore because I consider them to be the best.
Works good with all types of clothes in hot and cold water. Saves energy. Very quiet and not noisy. Looks very good and does not take up that much space. Long cord so you can put it anywhere.
It works great. Its economical with its water usage. This sure is a reliable product. I have not had to contact a repairman, which would certainly be expensive. I really do enjoy and trust my washing machine. I am a very proud owner of a top loading Kenmore washing machine. I used to have a front loader, but it was very prone to growing mold and mildew. My current washing machine never lets me down. I did not have to pay a fortune and there have been no repair issues. I highly recommend.
