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.

I have had this Kenmore Elite Top Load washer approximately 2 years. The washer cost was on the high side but I thought I deserved a nice washer since I wash a lot of clothes. Immediately I noticed that the clothes didnt appear to get as clean as with other washers Ive used. The washer was constantly getting out of balance. There was a recall and a gentleman came to my house and did something to the washer to prevent the unbalance issue. The washer still gets out of balance constantly and again my clothes are not getting as clean as with my other washers. I wish Id saved my money and bought an older washer with an agitator or possibly side loader. I am very, very, disappointed with my purchase and will NEVER purchase another Kenmore item again.

Bought washer (110 28002011) $650.00 December 2011. Tub bearings went out. Cost of repair more than price of new washer. No adjustment offered, since I did not buy a maintenance agreement. I have had nothing but Kenmore Appliances made by Whirlpool for 47 years my first bad experience. I did return to Sears and bought new Kenmore made by Whirlpool, the plain jane this time. I do not want another bearing balancing tub washer as I understand there is a recall on some units because of the failure rate, but not this one. Why Kenmore again, because I trained Searss salesman to sell appliances for 36 years, and cannot change, tried to make myself go to Lowes, just could not---what loyalty. But I am still highly dissatisfied.

I bought the Kenmore front loader washer just over three years ago. During the first year, it has nothing but problems with it. I had the warranty so Sears came to my house several times to fix it. They said I was using too much soap. I was not; I was using Wisk HE soap and only using the recommended dosage (usually doing less). They ended up replacing the washer after months of complaining and battling. They made it sound so easy when you buy the warranty that they will back their product 100%. It was a fight to get them to do what they were supposed to. With the new washer, the warranty only transferred to the new washer so it was only covered for the remainder of the warranty.Now this one is having issues and the warranty is up. Sears makes such crappy front loading washing machines and should not be able to sell them. How is it that I have had two different machines in just over three years and they have both failed me?

I purchased a Kenmore Oasis Elite in May 2006. We have no children at home, just two retired people. Within a year the hinges on the lid had to be replaced. Rust has been developing. Recently, the tub would hit against the frame when spinning. The repairman replaced the computer board, still didnt work. Another visit and he replaced the pump, still didnt work. Company replaced the steal tub (drum), still didnt work. The repairman stated that it probably would not last more than a year because the struts needed replaced. No surprise, one load of wash and the banging of the tub continued. Spoke with a Sears representative today. He stated that many people were very happy with the machine and it has lasted without any problems and I must have gotten a bad machine. I told him that if I got a lemon they should replace it. He said it was no longer under warranty and nothing could be done. Please never buy any Kenmore appliances from Sears.

I have had this washer for over 10 years and have never had a problem with it. I would buy this brand again and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a washer. The washer fits all my needs. I like that you can pick the size of the load of clothes that you are going to wash and they always come out clean. This washer looks very nice but it is a plain white. I wish that the Kenmore washer like this brand came in colors like the more expensive ones. This washer was well worth what I paid for it and if it broke down tomorrow it would not owe me a cent.

It washes my laundry quick and they always come out extremely clean. Usually I can do 5 loads in 4 hrs. I play football and my jersey is always grass stained. I just throw it in the washer and it always comes back with no stains. My old washer had to run it twice. It takes me no time at all and boom laundrys done. Its small enough to fit thru my washroom door and it has a sleek white metallic style that pretty much goes with any color so I would highly recommend this washer. Its a cheap price, highly efficient and extremely reliable. I bought mine a year ago and it has not broken down or needed repair. I also use it about 5 times a week.

Overall, my Kenmore washer was very efficient and helpful in meeting my needs. It also fits my need as far as space and energy saving. Moreover, they are clean, appealing and easy to maintain. I recommend that you buy Kenmore appliance products because they are very durable and trustworthy. The name has a reputation backed by good standing and Kenmore produce a sufficient warranty on their products.

Appearance is modern and stylish at the same time. That is very important to every modern family in our modern society. Therefore Kenmore brand, upholding its high appearance standards is so popular among modern generation of our time. It does its work very effectively and thoroughly every single time and I expect it to be delivered to me on the highest level, because reliability factor is the most important to me. Its a very good feeling to trust completely and thoroughly your washer. It works results every single time, no matter what without any exceptions. Kenmores value is very good indeed and very justified as well and everybody is looking for these particular features in a laundry machine.

I will NEVER purchase nor will I recommend Kenmore Elite Stainless Steel appliances. First, the only stainless steel which exists is in the handles on all appliances, everything else is cheap metal. I bought in 2016 the Side-by-Side (both doors developed rust spots within one month), Dishwasher (outside door) developed rust spots, Microwave/Oven combo (both doors) developed rust spots, and Gourmet Hood, which developed rust spots and the lights no longer work. All I did was use the cleaner, which came with the appliances. I built a brand new house and everything within one month had rust. I called Sears, well, guess what, I was over my 30 days so NO WARRANTY on the rust. I called the store and Were sorry to hear that. No discount on my full purchase price either. My husband, who is a builder, said they are more than likely storing the appliances in a damp warehouse and its cheap metal, as steel doesnt rust. In the past, I purchased GE Profile and no problems. Here I have a new house with old looking appliances.

I called about my Kenmore Elite HE5t Steam Washer. It keeps going into a SUD, then within a few minutes it goes into an F35 error. I talked with Sears and they told me the only thing they could do is send a repairman to my house to look at it. The cost is $129 plus the part. The part is a water level switch, it costs $85 dollars. It was on back order at the time I looked it up and I will have to wait one week for the part. When it came in, they then told me to call Whirpool. I did, they reconnected me to Sears. It was no surprise since it is an ongoing problem with this model and I have seen it on a few websites already, including this one. They need to recall this product.

I bought it used and had it for 2 years before it stopped drying my clothes. After about a year and a half it started taking more time to get the clothes dry. A month or so later it was not drying them hardly at all. Up until then it worked pretty good, especially for being 7 to 8 yrs old.

I purchase this washer at a Sears store closing sale. Have had it in the box in a climate controlled storage for a little more than a year, never opened, never used. Yesterday we opened it and hooked it up...this thing sounds like a freight train is coming through my house! Kenmore is no help, will send someone out to diagnose the problem, but will have to charge a diagnostic fee because warranty has expired. Buyer beware...do not buy a Kenmore model 110.25132411! Anyone want a washer that has had exactly one load of clothes washed in it? I have one cheap!!

My Kenmore washer washes large loads as good as it does small and is very dependable. It handles anything you test it with. This washing washing machine has lasted a very long time. It performs as well as washing machines costing much more. The warranty on this machine is fantastic but will probably never be needed. My machine is neat and sleek and fit wherever you want to put it. The controls are easy to read and understand. I love the top loading design. Great for convenience. In comparison to other washing machines of its generation, its value is superb because it is so well built and possibly the last machine you will need to buy.

We purchased in Apr. 2013. Would not get item clean. Would not even get all items wet. Called for service. Waited 3 weeks to get a tech to the house. Sears shipped wrong control board. Tech put shipped board in washer. He said it would work until they sent the correct control board. Waited 2 months, no new board. Called Sears and they stated, The board was still on back order and did not know when it would be available. I asked for a replacement. Replacement was delivered. Machine did the same thing as the first machine. Call back and asked for a replacement with a different model. Replacement was $1500.00 cheaper than the original set. (Oh, btw it is now Oct. 2013) Sears will not refund us the difference. The problem was with your product. Shame on you Sears!!!!! I will never purchase from Sears again.

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.

Kenmore Elite Oasis Washer - We have always bought Sears Kenmore appliances
Kenmore Elite Oasis Washer - We have always bought Sears Kenmore appliances, and purchased the maintenance contract. The repairmen that have been sent out on a lid locking problem have not been able to resolve this issue. This started in August, and the last two appointments have been cancelled the day of the appointment (when my wife called the 800 number to find out what time the repairman would be at our house). Currently the laundry room is stinking, the entire first floor of our home because the water is stagnant and will not drain. The 800 number has made an appointment for our washer to be repaired on December 8th. This is the longest we have ever had to wait the first floor of our home should really smell great by then.

Elite washing machine 31512 - I have never been upset enough to feel the need to review an appliance before. That being said, I bought this washing machine about 18 months ago for around $1,000 at Sears. Initially I was impressed with the features and the thought of it being efficient, but slowly the washer started to become unbalanced on a regular basis. Then the laundry started to smell sour even after using the cleaning cycle with the proper cleaner. All of this was frustrating but somehow bearable until tonight, when I really needed to get some last minute laundry done and all it will do is display an error code LE. This machine was way too expensive to be so horribly built. I will return to a different brand that has simple electromechanical dials and can properly drain the water so it doesnt make the laundry smell worse than when it went in. I called the Sears helpline and they recommended I sign up for $40 a month protection plan that still required me to pay $60 for them to show up and part costs!? This made no sense and just made me more upset. I will never buy anything from Sears again.

An absolute waste of time and money. We have been waiting for 5 weeks to have our expensive Kenmore Elite washing machine repaired after owning only 3 years. First Sears repair technician comes out, charges $89 to say he will have to replace the part (here for a total of 10 minutes.) We agree to order the part out of pocket since the washer is no longer under warranty. Had the part overnighted (additional out of pocket) and it takes over a week to get the repair technician back out to install. He is then unable to remove a nut to remove the old part and tells us that he cant put the new part in because hes not authorized to cut the nut off for fear of damaging the drum (here for 15 minutes this time). If we can cut it off ourselves, he said he would come back out and install the new part. My husband was able to cut if off and we scheduled another service, with the soonest date being a week later, specifically reminding them that this nut had to be cut off, and that it would have to be replaced. I was informed by customer service that they have no way of knowing which parts the repair technicians have in stock and that I cannot request that they have a certain part before they come out. Next scheduled service date, no one showed up, we called customer service and the technician called in sick. Rescheduled for today, again, the soonest date available that was a week after the last one, no one showed up again, called customer service again, technician will not come out because now they will have to order the nut that has been cut off. Meanwhile we have spent 5 weeks without a washing machine, and the part that needs to be replaced sitting on the floor of the laundry room. At this point, I just want my $89 refunded and I will hire someone else to fix my washing machine rather than deal with this crappy service any longer. Additionally, Ive spent 3 hours being passed back and forth between Kenmore (the brand) and LG (the manufacturer) and no one wants to take ownership of this washer because for the price of it originally, we should not even be in this position 3 years later having to fix it.

It is pretty good. Gets the clothes clean. The washer works pretty quietly and efficiently - it is reliable. It is ready when I need it. It starts easily and is easy to use. It does not require a lot of work or maintenance. So it is easy to throw in load of laundry and go do something else. The washer is ok looking - it is classic looking - white and clean looking - simple not complicated. It does not take a lot of spaces - fits in corner nicely. It is a good value - if I had to take laundry out it would take so much of my precious time - it is so much easier to be able to do laundry at home.

It works very well. I can put in large loads with no issues. I wish there was a spot for fabric softener. However, everything works splendidly. We have had this product for 2 years and it has never given us any issue at all. It can wash really dirty items without a leftover smell. It looks like a normal washer. Its great for someone on a small budget that wants a washer that will last a long time. Its also easy to clean. We got this at a very good price and is very affordable and reliable. For something we will be using for years to come with a little one, this was the perfect washer for us.

I did not purchase extended warranty, I sure expected a Kenmore to last at least 10 years with previous purchases I made with Sears appliances. The repair guy estimated 1000.00 to repair. We said no thanks because I can buy new for that price. So, this Tuesday, I have a new top load washer coming and this Kenmore is going to the dump. My new machine is costing me 1200.00 bucks. The problem with the Kenmore is it will not spin the clothes out, the clothes stay very wet. I would like a refund, however I am not expecting you to do much for me, but it would be nice to offer me some money back. I still have the receipt for the washer. I hope you consider some refund.

The washer does a amazing job. It almost spins my clothes dry. It has a lot of different settings that make it so easy to pick the right one. I have had this washer for about 4 years and I have never had any problems with it. I have used the cleaning feature which does a amazing job. I bought the silver one that matches my other appliances. I like the look and style of the washer. It has a very classy look. I enjoy telling and showing my friends and family. It is comparable to other washer similar to this one. I feel like overall it is a great washer.

Good appliance, easy to manage and very fast. Made me like doing my laundry, especially because Im a student and I really needed a good washing machine to get away from having to use laundromat. If youre thinking about buying one, just do it, it works! Very reliable, never had a problem with this machine. Super great washer, definitely one you can count on. As a college student I could not ask for a better washing machine when I come home to do my laundry.

Ive recently purchased a Kenmore front load washer which has begun leaking
Ive recently purchased a Kenmore front load washer which has begun leaking after only six weeks of use. I called for service and they are actually trying to blame us for not loading it correctly (Ive been loading washers for over twenty years). Its sad that they would even consider underloading a washer an acceptable reason for water leaking all over your floor. I was very sad to see (upon delivery installation) that Kenmore is too now made in China - wish I wouldve stuck to Whirlpools which are still currently made in USA.

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.

I am completely dissatisfied with the Kenmore Washer I purchased in September 2013. It tangles and twists my clothes even on the delicate cycle. It does not clean our clothes well at all. I have to wash our underwear twice. I have to constantly reset it to wash our towels and bedding. I have also noticed rust around the edges of my bleach fill. The softener does not empty correctly. I have called sears for help many times since we have the Kenmore connect. They can never seem to help me. Many of the reps dont even know what Kenmore connect is. We keep getting error code LE. I was told this error means something is wrong with my motor. I hope not since we have only had it for 3 years. The dry is loud. It didnt start that way. I have no positive comments. This machine cost a lot. I had a Maytag prior to this machine that worked wonderfully for 12 years.

I do not like my washing machine. When it is finished washing there is one pieces of clothing that literally covers all the clothes and appears to tuck all the clothes in under it. Sometimes the piece on top is not totally wet and I wonder if it even got washed. Then I wonder if the ones under it got washed because they are so neatly tucked in. It looks like a loaf of bread waiting to rise in a bowl. I have been careful the way I load it, but it still comes out wrapped up, especially when I do sheets. The bottom sheet always wraps everything. I also have a problem with the dark load coming out with white spots. I use the All pods and have to cut the pod and put the detergent in the dispenser. And... the softener never completely empties.

Both worked very well for the first few years but the washer had problems toward the end in getting drained all the way. Had to replace some parts. Units worked good til the end and then they became so unreliable and slow that we ended up replacing them both and are happier now. Dont know why or how but they went bad. Appearance was fine. Dont expect that there is a whole lot of room there to change color and style is changing every day so stay informed and Im so sure you got it. Never got my moneys worth out of any washer. Dryers usually last but these seemed to run faster, harder and wear out quickly. I dont think I will buy again.

After 7 months from the Kenmore 3 year warranty, the washer is rapidly rust
After 7 months from the Kenmore 3 year warranty, the washer is rapidly rusting and chipping, on the top and under portion, in-between the detergent cup and bleach cup. The warranty for cosmetic was 3 years. When the tech came out to the house, he stated and proceeded to put in writing to Sears, this was not covered. The tech took pictures to back my complaint. The pictures never made it attached to the service order that Customer solutions department had received. The Customer Solutions representative, located in the Philippines, proceeded to tell me, I was not covered. The representative told me, he was only there to take my information; the representative CONFIRMED, Sears is aware of the problem and is NOT doing anything about the problem for their customers. Customer Solutions, DID NOT offer any type of solution.Every appliance in the house has been a Kenmore product; I put in a complaint, and of course, still waiting to get a return call. I expected Customer Solutions to have been in the United States. So very disappointed and irritated. Not looking for a brand new washer----just the replacement portion for the top. Because, Sears knows there is a problem.

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.

This is the worst washer (700 washer) I’ve ever owned. Unless I use deep fill and second rinse for every load half the load comes out dry and unwashed. Also (maybe my mistake) I cannot reach the bottom of the machine without a step stool. For such a deep basin it appears that it fills about 2”. So by using the extended options I see no efficiency or economy needless to say an hour and a half per load!

I have bought a Kenmore Elite in 2008 and it broke down in 4 months. After that, it has been a continuing battle. I am on my 3rd service contract with Sears 4MyHome and it just broke down again. This time part has to be taken out of machine and sent to a repair service to get repaired because they dont have a new part for it. I was told that it possibly will be done on the 18th of the month (10 days without a washer). This is crazy!!! I am at the laundromat every few days, because I have 3 kids and a dog, and dealing with sports. I would NOT recommend the Kenmore Elite washer to anyone. I tell all my friends and neighbors that this machine is a big waste of money. After my warranty runs out, I am going to replace it. Definitely do my homework and the next one! My sincere condolences to anyone who buys this machine. It is TERRIBLE!!!

It has a great size capacity to wash several clothes at one time. There is a delicate and regular and spin cycle. I truly would recommend this machine to anyone. This washing machine is very reliable. You can fit numerous items in at one time and always expect them to come out clean and fresh. We have not had any issues with our washer at all. We choose the white washing machine as most of our items are white. The inside has a pretty good size tub and there are numerous options that you can choose from for a cycle to wash your clothes. We paid around $300 for our washing machine which I feel is a great value. If you think about how much money you will be saving from not having to go to the laundromat then you will quickly realize that this is truly an excellent value not to mention definitely more convenient.

Kenmore does NOT participate to monitor feedback on ConsumerAffairs and resolve your issues. Sears should monitor feedback on ConsumerAffairs. My 2 year old top washer sounds like a jet engine on spin cycle and is tearing small holes in my t-shirts. Now it stopped pumping water out of the drain cycle. I am done with Sears and their crappy quality. I was brought up on Sears. No wonder they are fighting for survival. Selling junk to cut corners for profit will eventually catch up with them.

I’ve had this washer machine for about 3 years. While it washes lightly soiled materials well, I do need to wash heavy soiled laundry multiple times. This machine has begun to accumulate a mildew smell. I have yet to identify the source of the smell. In addition, the trays where you pour your detergent, bleach and fabric softener fill with water after the wash. The only tray you can manually empty the access water is the detergent tray, this I feel everything else gets diluted. Overall it is an ok machine.

I hear of new washers stinking from odor. Makes me scared to buy the new HD washers. The washer is loyal and has had no big problems. I do not get why anyone wants a newer one that gets bad odors. These older machines have no worries of odor. It just cleans your clothes. We got ours at a close out sale. We paid $400. We have had this washer for over 15 years. Only one problem... the belt broke. My husband fixed it for $20. Total cost of machine $420 - you cant beat that.

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.

Purchased a top loading high efficiency low water washer model 110-28133410 from a Sears location with our Sears charge account on 5/17/15 for $900. Never happy with the low water cleaning quality. Had issues with the lid lock which we figured out how to work around. Now in 2020 only five years later transmission is shot (not because of overloading only my husband and myself in the home). Sears service was AWFUL. Finally got an appt. for a service call, took off work, they were suppose to be here by noon, got a text at 11:30 canceling our appt. and rescheduling for 6 DAYS LATER. When I called customer service to say I expect the next initial diagnostic service call to be not charged since now I will have lost two days of work. Would not offer any consideration for their non show. Hired another appliance repair service to be told washer not work fixing. I had believed in supporting businesses that have been around for years, but they were horrible. Canceled my Sears card and will never do business with them or Kenmore again.

The product washes the clothes well and doesnt leave them soaking wet. It leaves my clothes fresh! It separates my clothing pieces and doesnt bunch them up together. I can put multiple pieces or items in the washer without any issues. I can put on heavy load and still get a reliable wash. The washer is very reliable. Ive had it for some time. It works like its brand new! And The appearance is simple and chic. It has a nice front which is attractive for a washer. The washer is a front load so I can see all of what is going on while the clothes are washing. This is definitely worth the value. It is more durable than any other wash I have bought in my previous years.

Simple to use and starts and dries quickly. Kenmore one of the best brands
Simple to use and starts and dries quickly. Kenmore one of the best brands on the market. Very efficient and water and electricity conscious. Like the options. Had for years - never had an issue. Never has needed to be fixed. It dries in proper time. Washer is water efficient. Kenmore offers great warranties and doesnt cost a lot extra for the warranty. ust typical white appliances. Looks not important. It needs to wash and dry which it does. If people are talking about the look of my washer they are nuts. You get what you pay for and more. Kenmore is the best brand on the market. Theyre reliable. They will fix it when it needs to be fixed with the warranties.

Sometimes I have trouble with it being too full, but it works well most of the time. I have had other washers that didnt work as well and shook and stuff. This is stable. It always gets my clothes clean and the soap isnt left behind on the clothes. I would love to be able to see inside, but this isnt like that. I just know that it is washing the clothes. I would say the price was pretty good for the way that it works. It wasnt the priciest of washers, but I would say for what it does a little much.

I purchased a Kenmore elite washer HD3 in March 2011. After more than 17 months, the main control unit stopped working. Sears charged me $503.00 for it plus tax and labor to a total of $688.24 for repair when the control unit at appliance parts is only $255.00.I paid a new washer to repair the one that is only 16-monts old. A rip off by Kenmore (making such washer) and Sears charging such an amount to fix an appliance bought at Sears store. Stay away from Sears and Kenmore.

Its good services that can provide a good work on all clothes no matter how tough the dirt is on clothes. It always work. Best for me to use around the house. I would not choose another one due to the fact it might not work as well as this washer. It can handle any detergent and it would last for a long time. Its best to use when you have a lot of dirty clothes. It would be a whole lot better to use and then you should be able to upgrade to a newer model.

Expert construction with quality results. Gets clothes clean and does not tangle them all up. The agitation is gentle where it does not shake the whole machine. Dryer leaves clothes wrinkle free. Great investment. Adjust the settings to your desired mode and the machines are carefree. One is free to go about other chores and not have to worry about keeping an eye on a Kenmore. Attractive white in color. Blends in with everything. It doesnt show fingerprints. Easy to clean and keep dust free. Dust filter is within easy access. The value of a Kenmore is priceless because its worry free. If in need of repair, parts are easily obtainable. Kenmore is an easy machine for a repairman to work on and parts dont cost an arm and a leg.

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!

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.

The washer is very easy to use and is extremely efficient. Compared to my previous washer which I had to wash the load twice, this washer gets it clean the first time. The washer is extremely reliable. It is big enough for large loads and it gets the clothes extremely clean in a reasonable amount of time. The washer has a very clean and modern look. Its not the standard white that most washers are. It has some silver and a black tinted lid. The value for this washer was very competitive compared to similar washers. And the store where I bought it had a rebate which made it even a better value.

Purchased this POS only 15 months ago. Now the washer is rusted out and different parts are worn from the use. How often do you use a washer?? There is no reason that this 700 series Kenmore washer should be worn out this early. I hope this company goes out of business.

Never a problem with this machine. Does the job as expected. Not the fanciest, but gets the job done without the superfluous and expensive bells and whistles. Reliable machine for normal laundry loads. Never scorches. Gets clothes completely dry in a reasonable amount of time. Has settings for regular, permanent press and delicate. It is not ultra stylish, but then you dont have to pay a designer appliance price. A reliable, competent machine that gets the job done right. It is easy to operate and has a clean, modern appearance. This machine is a good value for the money.

My Kenmore washer has been 100% reliable since I bought it, no warranty issues, no failures, at all. It will be 18 years old in August 2020. I am getting a little bit of surface rust underneath the bleach dispenser, but I will clean up and repaint the tiny rust spot this summer. I cant vouch for the new models, but mine has been perfect.

We have never had a single problem with our set of Kenmores. We did not buy the top of the line more of the bottom line, no bells and whistle. The settings are easy to read and turn knobs too, Im blind/low vision and markings are bold enough for me to see. Baskets are more than big enough to handle all of our washing loads. No extra settings to cluster the facial plates with settings we will never use. Bleach trough in the right place and easy to pour into, big enough to hold recommended amount, softener container in the middle easy to get to, softener lid can be a little hard to get off if you cut your fingernails too short. Product and price was right, have had for 5 years no service calls, bought a set for daughter.

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.

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.

This washer had a strong agitation cycle and I never needed a repair. Easy to use knobs. Never had to explain how to turn it on. My clothes always came out smelling good and looking fresh. I could wash a decent sized load of dirty clothes in this washer. I never needed a repair and the agitation was strong and reliable. The water flowed freely and the knobs were easy to understand. This washer was a simple washer in looks. Even though I could have gone for something more spacey and futuristic in looks I was very happy with its performance and easy to understand knobs. Looks arent everything. I think in this day and age we spend too much money on things that break down over time. This washer was sturdy and reliable and I never needed a repair so I am satisfied with the amount of money I paid for it.

We have a Kenmore Series 600 Auto Load Sensing High Efficiency (HE) Low water washer which I am really not liking. It doesnt have a bar up the middle to move the clothes around and the water does not cover and soak the clothes. So there are only parts of the clothes that are getting washed. We have to rewash our clothes 3 and 4 different times to get them fully clean. I am NOT A FAN of HE Washers. I like Traditional ones better where the water flows and I can push the clothes down in the water....the middle agitator has always worked well. Why change something that works well all b/c it uses more water? More water, middle agitator bar, less secrecy is what I like.

I bought this Kenmore 800 series washer in December 2009. I have had repairmen here 3 times. The parts are made in Mexico and they are cheap plastic. Someone needs to do a printout of all these complaints and send them to their congressman to present to Consumer Affairs (Mr. Cordray) in Washington. Its bad enough that most of our manufacturing is outsourced to foreign countries, and it is time that someone starts demanding quality control. These CEOs make millions and it’s time to demand that we, the consumer, get a better quality product.

I had a white Kenmore washer. I had no problem with actual cleaning and it had all the bells and whistles I needed. However I didnt get my moneys worth. It needed repairs as the water pump started leaking. There are only 2 people in household, not used everyday. It shouldnt have needed repairs after barely 5 years. Kenmore used to last forever, but have been dissatisfied with the last few appliances from them.

The washer seems to handle large loads with ease and gets the toughest dirt out. Its very user-friendly and easy to use. I would recommend this one to anybody. Usually this could fit all my daily items. My family and I go through many clothes weekly so we had to gave a large capacity washer. This one fits the bill perfectly. It is modern-looking and modular. It gets within my laundry room decor without looking too blocky or white even though that is exactly what it is. The value here is super great. It is a good washer that Ive used for many years. If you amortize the cost over a period of useful years you will get out of it, you will get a daily cost of only a few pennies. Who couldnt afford that?

I thought it was just as good as a general electric one. It was awesome for the record. I coud not have asked for more. The washer was a front loading type of washer. It was very strong in handling clothes to wash and it gave us years of great and quality service. What a great washing machine. The price that we paid for this washing machine was just right, it was worth the price that we paid for it.

This washer works well because it has many adjustable settings so that you can choose the wash cycle that would be best for your load of laundry. The drum can hold a large load of clothing, so that way you dont have to do many loads, but can do one large load. Its very reliable. Ive had this washer for 8 years and its still going strong. It has yet to give me any sort of trouble. It is durable, and long-lasting. The appearance of this washer is good. Its very clean and simple looking, and easy to understand. The layout of the knobs and dials are well laid out so that anyone would be able to understand how to start a load of laundry. This is a valuable piece of machinery. Not only is it affordable, but it is well worth the price. It is sturdy and reliable, and can wash a heap-load of laundry.

As mentioned in previous reviews, this washer leaves soapy residue on everything. I use a little bit of he laundry detergent and there is always residue on my dark clothes. There is no center post in this washing machine to stir things up. My sheets always end up knotting up in a ball and the machine wont spin because of the unevenly distributed weight of wet sheets. I dont like doing laundry but it is particularly frustrating to have to wash things over and over to get the residue out. How energy efficient is it if you have to wash things 3 times? It is also frustrating to try to complete my laundry for the day when I have to keep untangling things that have balled up. I would recommend a side loading machine as they are much better at moving things around.

The Kenmore washer cleaned clothing properly and operated in a quieter tone than some other washers I have owned. I never had issues with colors bleeding and was very happy with the performance of the machine. The machine looked very sleek, too. I have had other washing machines that had issues with the beeping when the cycle was finished, but no issues with this one. And it also fit the color scheme of my laundry room as well as it fit perfectly under my laundry room counter. I paid what I expected for a washing machine of such quality.
