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
I contacted Sears repair and set up an appointment to have my Kenmore washing machine repaired. I took time off from work and waited all day for them. No show. I was mad, but rescheduled. Second appointment, they came and I was thrilled. I was told that I needed an expensive part and paid $360.67 for the repair. As soon as the repairman left, I started my washing machine to find that it was still broken! I immediately contacted repair and was told that someone would come out that weekend (it was a Friday). Guess what... no one came! I then scheduled one last appointment, guess what... no one came again! I am now done with taking time off work and waiting for repair. I have started a billing dispute and want my money back. Sears says I can schedule another appointment and they will come and take their part out. Uh... then I want my old part back! The part they took out was not broken... something else is! This is ridiculous and Sears needs to refund us for the part/appointment and compensate us for all of the time we have missed off work and all of this time without a washing machine. We have been long time Sears customers and Sears credit customers, this is how they treat their customers.
I bought this washer in 2005 at a Sears outlet store. Now keep in mind I live alone so I dont do a lot of laundry, much below the average family, yet here I am 10 years later and somehow this thing is now not cycling through a wash load. Way to go Kenmore -- 10 years, thats it. Now I got to pay for a repair or buy ANOTHER one. Before I had this wash I had an old Kenmore washer that was 25 YEARS OLD and not one issue. I can tell you this, never again will I buy your crap. This is disgraceful and you can bet I will also pass my displeasure with Kenmore on social media every chance I get.
Never fails me. No matter how dirty kids clothes are always come out clean. I never have to rewash anything. Sturdy. Will never use another type of washer. This washer is extremely dependable. Have never had any mechanical problems. Does not make a great deal of noise. Clothes always come out clean. Sleek appearance. Very modern looking. Very streamlined and never rusts and I have a damp basement. I have even had friends say what a nice appearance it makes. I love it. This washer was worth every penny I spent. It was very expensive but I am a perfectionist about my clothes and this washer answers every need I have. Has never disappointed me.
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.
Just a great all around no nonsense straightforward everyday runner that just keeps working without any issues; that is easy to load and has very little wasted space.
Kenmore is really a great brand and I trust it. Out of the whole 5 years that Ive had this particular washer Ive never had to repair it, buy parts for it, is still up to its name Kenmore. Just a regular white washer not too many buttons and knobs but very easy to clean and it worked wonderfully. I loved it. It did not tear up my clothes. Ive had a washing that used to heat my clothes up.
Satisfied. My clothes are clean and well dried after washing it. Less work. It can load heavy duty - the blankets, sheets, pillow cases. This brand is not expensive but really works well.
Purchased Kenmore Washer Model 2510 kept leaving soap in clothes. White marks and streaks in black or navy colors. I use 1/3 of the amount of HE soap recommended. Returned for a newer model after 4 repairmen came out. Now I have the next generation Model 25132. Still have soap in my clothes. The low water high-efficiency washers are AWFUL! The repairmen keep saying I am using too much soap or add water to washer or run it again. How can this be High Efficiency?
Works good to clean clothes fast for the man on the go like myself and that is what counts the most. Particularly I can indeed fit all of my needed items and have a small space left over most of the time. Sometimes I cant have all the space I need for super large loads but most my loads to all fit in one load. Description of appearance white in color. Do not care about how it looks much though its simple quick and it gets the job done bottom line. Works great. Top dime for the dollar if you choose this brand. You dont holler for more. Top of the line. Made strong to last you long. Keeps going. Dont follow.
I have always had a Kenmore washer. They are very reliable & durable. Service from Sears is also reliable plus trustworthy. Prices are good, compared to Maytag or GE. I prefer Kenmore over all other brands. Kenmore offers top loading, front loading & compact units for smaller spaces. Sears stores are available in many areas, that carry Kenmore products.
My washer has a larger capacity and can handle a small load all the way through a large load of towels. It does not have a lot of unnecessary dials, but is simple to set without having to adjust several dials. I find this washer is perfect for me and my family. Having used this wash a couple of years, it has performed very well. No problems, no repairman needed. Everything works as well as it should. Just be sure to have the washer leveled upon installation, and it will work like a charm. I like appliances that are sleek, modern looking, and easy to keep clean. This washer has a sleek back panel on which the dials and controls are placed. The value of Kenmore appliances are well known. Quality washer. This washer was not overpriced, but suited my needs and did not take a big bite out of my budget. The washer has been very reliable. So I find this to be a very good value.
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.
Absolutely the worst customer service experience in my 66 years on this earth. Bought a new Kenmore washer which arrived damaged. Was told we had to report damage in 3 days and they would not do anything. Turned on the machine and it sounded like metal on metal grinding. Called Sears again and they sent out the repairman who says the bottom of the machine is crushed and missing a suspension rod and not worth repairing. Just trying to get service from Sears has been such a nightmare. I cannot imagine trying to get a replacement washing machine. What a goat rope this has been. I expect we will be buying a new washing machine and I guarantee you it will not be a Kenmore!!! WORST SERVICE EVER!!!
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.
Washes my clothes good and gets out tough stains my previous washers couldnt. I would recommend anyone looking for a new washer to buy this one. Havent had any problems with my washer breaking down so Id say its pretty reliable. The best washer Ive ever owned. Definitely worth the money. Its a great looking washer that is easy to use and is the basic size you would expect a washer to be. Its easy to empty and load. A great buy. For the price its definitely a good buy. Havent had any breakdowns or malfunctions. If youre in the market for a new washer I recommend buying this one.
We purchased the 500 series washer a little over 2 years ago, and have regretted it ever since. If I do anything bigger than a half load it becomes unbalanced and sounds like a helicopter landing in my house. When you pause to rebalance it takes a full ten minutes for the lid to open. I’ll never buy a Kenmore again...
We purchased the washer in July 2013. We did not put the washer in the new home until Oct. of 2013. It has had approximately 20 loads of laundry done in it. It senses, takes on water, agitates, drains and then it tries to spin but does not, just runs. I have to move the selector to drain and spin to get it to spin. I contacted Sears and Kenmore. They said we are responsible for repair even though the washer has had very little use.
Awesome machine works very well. No issues at all. I would highly recommend this machine. Good quality at an affordable price. And I would buy it again. Really reliable, big load capacity, easy to fill. Very quiet machine also. Its not the fanciest of machines, but aesthetics are fine. Very good machine for the price. Buy it. Few hundred for a machine that will last years. Well worth it. You will be very happy with your shiny new washer.
The performance is very good and satisfying and meets my daily needs. It helps clean our clothes without any damage or tear. Its an useful piece of furniture for me and my whole family. I can rely on it to really clean my clothes without damage to it. It doesnt break easily or leak at all like my old ones. I count on it to do its job while being quiet washing. The way it is built is very professional like and not poorly built. Its easy to find buttons and get used to while cleaning clothes. I really love how it matches my decor since its white. The value is very nice. Its not too cheap or too expensive. Its just right for my liking and my familys liking. Also my husband likes using it a lot. It gets the job done. Very worth its money.
This brand and model gets the job done. No matter what is put in the washer, it always comes out clean. I never have to worry about clothes coming out dirty! With five people in my house, two being teenagers and one toddler, this washer is very reliable. I never worry about having to fix an issue. Reliability in a washer is a must for any household with teenagers and a toddler. The model washer I own is very basic looking, which in my opinion is the best. Basic does not mean cheap since it still functions as a high end washer. The value that you get when you buy a Kenmore is the best. You actually get your moneys worth and more with any and every model. Kenmores worth every penny.
I really like the Kenmore washer that I purchased several years ago. We wash a couple of loads a day and it has given me no problems. I will recommend Kenmore to anyone. Kenmore washers are the only brand that will be in my home. My Kenmore washer is not much to look at. It is the old style top open style. But it works great and still looks great. Even though its not one of those fancy front open models. The value of my Kenmore washer is great. If you take the ten years that Ive owned it and divide it by the six hundred dollars I paid for it, it is only about $55.00 a year.
It is very gentle on my clothing. Its very modern and nice and easy to work with. High quality water saving and power efficient. It also works pretty fast. Not an all day wash. It hasnt broke yet. Its very sleek and pretty. Didnt cost that much. Money well spent.
We bought the washer used and have now had it for 3 years. It is very dependable and it dries large loads of laundry, like my king sized bedding sets with no problems at all. It has a few surface scratches from the last owners, but that does not affect its performance at all. Im happy with it and we have definitely gotten our moneys worth out of it. I would not hesitate to buy another one tomorrow if need be and would recommend Kenmore Washers to anyone.
I did my research before purchasing this set and pretty much is what the other reviews said it was. The tub in the washer is super big. I was able to wash a king size comforter in it with no problem. I had to take the time to read the booklet to find out what the buttons are for but it pretty easy to use. It looks good and was a great value, Im glad I bought this set. We bought this washer after our Maytag broke just 18 months after purchase, and a week behind on laundry I just wanted a washer. I figured this was the better value for the money versus the 3.6-cu ft Whirlpool, after reading the reviews maybe not. I dont mind the noise while going through the cycle as it is very comparable to our Maytag, same with cycle time. It is in a closet on our second floor and with the doors shut it did not bother us across the hall or downstairs underneath it. My complaint is that they say it can fit 3 baskets full of laundry and while that is true the spinning value at 660 was a major design error. The larger or heavy the load the more the clothes lack getting water out at the end, that will require a drain and spin cycle. Smaller loads come out as expected when the wash is complete and dry in average time. We plan to keep the washer as I am not usually a week behind in laundry and needing to do extra large loads, and I was pleased with the smaller load I did do. For people who are looking at this for the size of the wash bin and extra large loads are normal I would not recommend this, but for just us two it works fine. Kenmore, in the Whirlpool family, are durable, reliable and high-quality appliances with a long-standing history of satisfied customers. Easily and economically repaired if theres ever an issue, theyre an excellent value for the money. The Kenmores seem to last forever. If you do have a problem at some point, Sears has a great parts and service department.
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 purchased a Kenmore Top Load washer in 2010. I have hated this machine since the day I bought it. It doesnt clean the clothes if they have any kind of soil on them, I have to run them up to three times to get them clean. The machine has had issues that cost me as much as I paid for the machine to fix twice since I purchased it. It is a lemon. I will never purchase another washing machine from Kenmore again since I cannot afford to fix a machine that shouldnt break so often.
We had a Kenmore washer for many many years that was given to us by a previous owner that had it for many years as well was fixed several times on the front pouch. Id buy a Kenmore. It ran years on its last leg.
I got the washer with the wash plate.. HE high efficiency in 2011 from Sears... I dont know how its suppose to save power because it takes so long to do a load and it dont wash the clothes clean either even with a second cycle. Maybe it takes less water but NOT. When I have to wash the clothes two and three times to get them clean. I would not recommend this machine if you have a well. I hate the lid lock. If the power goes out when the machine is going you cant get your clothes out. Twice now I have had to call a repair person to fix the controls after power outages... I really wish I had never bought this machine now. Its the worst washer Ive ever had.
Fix the washer over 20 times since purchase in 08. Replacing mother board again in 6 months. Repair teaches different things then the sells guys. I use to rave about Kenmore. Not anymore. I could have bought a new washer every year for the amount of money I have used to repair washers in the past 10 years. All Kenmores with Sears repair men.
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.
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 love that I can fit so much in one load. The quick wash cleans my clothes as well as the other settings in half the time and its quiet! This washer has been through accidental shoes, keys, over fills, and its fare share of loose change but its never lost a sock. Never had any issues with it. Always worked well so I cant complain. I wash heavy blankets, winter coats, rugs and heavy loads of jeans... They always come out very clean. Its a washer... Its cube like, mostly white, shiny too! I perceive this washer to be of high value.
A couple of years ago I bought a Kenmore Elite Dishwasher. It looked great, sounded great. When it was being delivered, the delivery man said, See you in a few years. I asked what he meant, and he said, Youll be replacing this before too long. I was stunned. Surely not, it looked too good. Until it wasnt. First thing that happens, the plastic wheels on the bottom rack started falling off. Turns out, they use a plastic piece to hold the plastic wheels on. When its a couple of years old, they shrink and the wheels fall off. Of course you dont know this until toxic smoke is pouring out during the heating cycle.After scraping and trying to clean the plastic off the burner, I check the other wheels only to find out they are all the same. There are 8 wheels on the bottom rack, and are only sold in pairs on a plastic mount. $60 per. Needless to say, its hundreds of bucks to keep it usable. And they dont want to hear about warranty or faulty parts. Learned my lesson. If the delivery guy says its bad, believe it.
Kenmore HE no agitator washer. I have called a few times to complain on the wash it does. Sometimes I need to put thru another rinse and spin. Some of my colored clothes come out with white streak, sometimes my whites feel very gritty and my clothes feel like they are not really washed and clean. Hate this machine. I will either seek and buy a new one or suffer with it.
I am a senior citizen and limited in my mobility. I am totally disappointed and frustrated with the Kenmore Elite which I purchased in December 2013. The 3 P.C. Boards Ive been told are not working thus resulting in the machine not working. Ive been told by the technician the repair would cost almost as much as I paid for the washing machine. I thought Kenmores were reliable. I purchased this with my Sears card.
Kenmore 3.5 cu ft. top load washer. Brand loyalty from previous appliances was the reason for the purchase. Had the washer for 8 months, and theres NOTHING to like about it. It rarely puts in more than 3 inches of water, so the clothes are just rubbing against themselves causing pilling, twisting, and tangling. Sheets and long sleeves are always so twisted in knots you have to stand there and untangle. (With shirts this means ironing is usually required.) And, do we really know how clean anything is if all its doing is rubbing against other pieces? It reminds me of women banging their clothes on rocks at a stream. Yes, there is a setting called Deep Wash which puts in 5 inches or less of water, (measured with the wet clothing also in the machine) and clothes still spend all their time rubbing against each other. This is Not due to over-loading, as I rarely have more than half or two-thirds of a tub-load of dry items. The setting called Bedding or Bulky, eventually, after 10 minutes of spinning, and occasionally adding a bit more water, gets enough water in to keep the clothes from rubbing against each other, but by that time the cycle is mostly finished and the clothes and/or towels have spent the majority of the wash cycle just being banged against each other. But this cycle does not spin the clothes very dry, and so sometimes with jeans or towels you need to go back and turn it on again to an additional spin cycle. After using the machine for awhile I now know the salesperson knew nothing about how it actually worked. For me it has added LOTS more work by having to go back and add a additional cycle, by now requiring ironing of mens shirts; and for having to separate and hand-wash knits, sweaters and delicate items as they cannot be included in a regular wash, but are way too few for their own cycle.
I purchased my Kenmore Heavy-Duty washer and dryer set the next week available after I got married in Feb 1976 (seventy-six). That makes it about mid-March 1976. Here now in Jan 2020 I can truthfully say that I never had one speck of trouble from the set until now when the washer stopped draining. Having a Sears repairman respond to fix the problem revealed that it cannot be repaired. I must now try to find another Kenmore Washer. Admittedly, I did not use it on any routine regularity and once not used at all when in an apartment without a hookup for a couple years. But, I suspect I won't need it to last as many as 44 more years since I'm now 73 years old. It worked just great for me!
My Kenmore elite washing is only six years old and the computer in it stopped working. I dont feel I should have to pay approximately $400 to get it repaired nor should I have to replace my machine with a new one at my expense. I have read many many complaints regarding this machine due to the same problem, the computer board not working. I have been buying Kenmore products from Sears for many many years but I am very disappointed in this washing machine. I will not buy nor will I recommend Kenmore products to anyone unless Kenmore/Sears replaces my broken washing machine with a new one.
I grew up in a family that always used Kenmore appliances so my owning them is just natural. The Kenmore name carries the value. And people I talk to and with feel that Kenmore is a workhorse that makes it a good value. I have kids and animals so laundry is a daily chore. I like that I can wash jeans, towels, blankets and comforters and they come out clean and unharmed. Theres too many times I have used washers that dont always clean consistently but this is one of the best and most reliable. It is very nice looking, too. I have a laundry closet right off my kitchen and it fits in well with my other appliances when the closet doors are open. The dials are sleek looking and very easy to use.
The washer would not complete the drain cycle. I read some troubleshooting advice and purchased a new lid locker for $50. It didnt fix the problem. I called Sears and they charge a $99 diagnostic fee to come out then labor and parts. I read reviews of others who had similar issues. Some had to have the same problem fixed multiple times within a year. It could be the motherboard console. To replace this piece is about $250 plus labor plus the diagnostics. I paid $598 for the washer in 2011. I think I might be better off just purchasing a Speed Queen or another washer with a better warranty rather than pour money into something unreliable.
Economic on water use and energy efficient, quick, stable, cleans well with good array of different cycles, easy to use, load and unload. Ergonomic design fits well with normal counter heights. Durable with ability to handle recurring and high-frequency heavy loads. No maintenance or repair issues since owned. Reliable timer devices and release of additive like fabric softener. Clean lines and ergonomic design, with color choices, that integrate with laundry room design. Dials and doors are placed in convenient locations and add to look of appliance. Price was higher than some competitors model of similar in function and level in line. Cost higher than lower line machines. Reliability and durability balances cost for a good value for cost.
Never had a single problem with the machine. It would get used at least twice a week. Clothes come out smelling fresh and clean every time. This is the most reliable machine I have ever used. It provides everything someone could want in a machine and handles large loads easily on a regular basis. It looks like any other machine that you purchase, you arent going in expecting some super sleek design but its practical for its use and fits the build. The price was right in line with all others but you are getting much better quality for what you are spending your money on for a home unit that is reliable.
Elite - Difficult to retrieve clothes from the bottom of the washer. I had to build a special platform for my wife to retrieve the clothes from the washer! The units were very expensive, but I would like to assume this would infer a level of quality. They seem to work well, although somewhat odd from what we were used to before.
I really like both of the machines. I feel like they do a good job washing and drying. Never had to reload clothes because they were not done properly. Also never experienced any breakage with clothes.
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.
Excellent product that gets my clothes the cleanest. Has different settings for temperature and cycles. Its energy saving also so its not too expensive. Always reliable to wash my clothes. Never had any issues with it breaking down. This is the best product Ive ever owned. Ill be definitely buying another in the future. Nice, sleek design that matches my other appliances. Very easy to maintain. I also like how the door in the front opens making it easier to load clothes into. Excellent value for the money spent. It helps save money with the energy saving feature. Im going to recommend this product to my family and friends so they can see how great this product is.
Absolute piece of junk. This dumb washer was built WITHOUT a central agitator. Bad, bad idea since the clothes get all jumbled up to one side of the washer. Glad Sears isnt around any more in my town since they sold junk!
After I wash my clothes its clean enough and dries very quick. After I dried it I folded it very easily. Im satisfied with the results of my laundry. No hassles for me and my husband.
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.
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 washer has a small basin, works well for small loads. Rinse cycle if you forget to place in fabric softener you can forget it. Looks great. Washes well. The washer is reliable on small loads. I would not overfill as I have been left with dirt stains. The smaller the load the better. Its just me so I dont mind. The washer is very simple. Not a lot of bells and whistles. Just enough knows not to look too cluttered. Fits in a medium to small space. The value was great, I bought it on sale at Sears. I feel I got a great deal. Nice washer features I needed and didnt pay a lot for it. I would recommend this washer for a single person or just a couple. Too small for a family.
We Always have been happy with Sears Kenmore Elite and they have lasted us for a long time. However We have not been able to find Kenmore at Lowes or Home Depot. So if Selected to earn or win a washer I would like to have a front load washing machine. I studied the features and like features of the Whirlpool washing machine.
I like the technology used in the Kenmore washing machines. My clothes come out nice and clean every time. The cycles were gentle enough for delicates and then tough enough for getting out big stains and odors. I also liked the fact that the machine did not make too much noise through its cycles. The spin cycle was strong but not noisy as other machines tend to be.
I purchased a Kenmore Elite, Gentle wash-Canyon Capacity-Quiet Pak Oasis HE Energy Star! The first year, it started knocking. Repair came and replaced parts. Repair man said this was a defective model! The same problem occurred the second time, and today the third time! I was suppose to get a replacement washer, but it never happened! Third time repairman came out, he replaced the computer board, said everything was okay! Ten minutes after he left I placed a small load of colored clothes in - during the spin cycle, it started knocking again! Called expressing my dissatisfaction. This will be the fourth time for the same problem! Sears initially was to bring another washer - never did! Sears sold me a defective washer knowingly! Have purchased service protection agreements, same problem still persists!
Cleans clothes effectively. Has enough settings to get the job done and is a reliable machine. Clothes come out smelling wonderful and nothing has ever been ruined while going through the wash. Would recommend! I only had one problem with this machine in the time that I had it and it was easily fixable. It is a very reliable machine and does the job effectively. I have never had any regrets from buying it. There are more attractive models on the market but this is not unattractive by any means. It is simple in appearance and blends in well with any laundry room theme. I am happy with the value of this machine and the price I paid for it. I have gotten my moneys worth and it has performed well throughout the time I have had it.
It has done a lot of washes some overload but keeps on ticking, whilst doing a pretty good job of getting all the clothes clean. We have had this last machine for ten years, or more so we have no complaints. Yes we would buy another new one when the time comes, depending on the deals a sizable at the time.
Yes I would recommend kenmore. It has great space and a great look. It goes great with my other appliances that I have. It has a warranty on it also. I also have kenmore washer also. They last a very long time and are dependable.
We have always been fans of the Kenmore washing machines until we bought the Elite. It wont get my husbands work clothes clean, constantly goes out of balance, and leaves white residue on dark clothes. We have tried a wide variety of the HE detergents on the market - powder, liquid, pods. Nothing seems to make any difference. We paid quite a bit for this machine and it has not lived up to our expectations. Wish we could afford to replace it.
My Kenmore Washer is 18 months old. The washing machine has leaked twice. Once because of a manufacturer defect. The second time because a hose came loose. The washing machine is a top loader and does not have an agitator. On small loads I get a UE warning which means out of balance. It gets this code so many times it takes 3 hours to complete the load. They replaced 3 boards and this did not fix the problem. They ordered another part and Sears did not show up at the scheduled time. I had called several times on the scheduled date to verify the appointment and I found I was scheduled but they had failed to assign it to a technician. This meant I really was not on the schedule. The customer service person told me some of their service personnel did not know how to read the screens and did not realize I did not have an appt. I now have been without a machine for two weeks and their management will not call me till Monday, the problem happened on a Friday. I am very frustrated.
I bought a Kenmore Elite Washer from Sears about 5 years ago. I have had it repaired twice and it never cleans my clothes. It has more error messages than anything I have ever seen. It locks, puts error F11 and you cannot get your clothes out of the washer, cannot open the door does not matter if you unplug it or not. Then another error, then another. It is impossible to do laundry. I HATE THIS WASHER. I WOULD NOT BUY A THING FROM SEARS. They lie and tell you they will stand by a product but they do not. They want another 600.00 to walk in the door to fix the washer. I might as well buy a new one. ONE THAT WORKS.
Gets all the dirt out and leaves clothes smelling fresh. No pre-wash is necessary. Just throw in dirty clothes and let the machine do the work. All you have to do is pop the clothes in the washer and let it do all the work. Clothes come out clean every time and very quickly as well. Appearance is very sleek and very modern looking. When looking at the washer you expect it to work well, and work well it does. The appearance fits in my house and looks awesome. A little pricey but what would you expect with a brand new washer. It is definitely worth the price. Dont let the price be the deciding factor for this washer.
Elite High Efficiency Top Loader - We bought our washer less than 2 years ago! It has been extremely noisy the last few months and unbalanced! Yesterday the washer flooded our upstairs and poured through our dining room ceiling! We called Sears and they want $80 just to come out and look at it, meanwhile we have to replace carpet and Sheetrock. How can a company charge so much for a product and not stand by its quality and care about its consumer. A washing machine should last for more than 2 years!! Companies like this need to be held accountable for ripping off the consumer.
Kenmore 600 series washer - The worst washer I have ever owned, does not get things clean, they smell, they are still dirty, it should be recalled. I will not buy Kenmore ever again. I feel that I was taken advantage of by the sales staff. Sears should be ashamed and should offer a refund on this product.
The performance is great. I really never have a problem with this product. I can trust and rely on this brand to do what I need it to do. The performance of it has never let me down. Very reliable, I can take care of my need and want of washing with my washer. I have never been left with the thought of my washer not being able to work for me. The appearance is not that much to think about. It was a plain design and basically like any typical washer. The body was made like others. The value of the washer for me seems phenomenal. I am able to take care all of my problems and still move around throughout our daily lives.
Kenmore Series 600 - I should have returned the machine after the first day of using it, but now I am stuck it with. It is the worst washing machine Ive ever owned. I feel like sending a bill to Kenmore for all the clothes this thing has ruined. It does not wash clothes. It sprinkles water on them and takes over an hour for one load to finish. No matter what setting I put it on, it does not get the clothes wet at all. My clothes now stink, my sheets are filthy, and everything is wrinkled. I am going to take this thing to the dump and go back to the laundromat.
The performance is very outstanding. I love the time that it takes to clean. It is very acceptable and I have high remarks about it. I would recommend it to any looking for a washer. Id recommend it because it is also reliable when it comes to time being on your hands. This washer will satisfy all of your needs and thats a guarantee. I love the reliability of this product. The appearance itself made me want to purchase and use the Kenmore washer. I saw in browsing through the Internet and I decided to try it out myself. Much better than the average. The value of this washer machine is outstanding. Words cant explain the worth of this product and its usefulness. I would recommend this to anyone from my family group.
I had this washer for over 20 years. Used daily, never broke until a hurricane destroyed it. I never had any problems with it whatsoever. It was a basic washer, nothing fancy, no extras, but nice. No electronic gadgets to break either. I loved it. Lasted much longer than expected. Definitely got my money out of it. I had bought it in 1975 and a hurricane destroyed it in 1998. Never had to have it repaired.
Kenmore brand was very pleasing and the quality was great. It lived up to it standards and I was very happy with the choice I made with choosing their product. I needed a washer and drying for my apartment I was moving into so I decided to look at some in Sears. Not only did they have a wide selection but the prices were decent and customer service was excellent. So I had a wonderful experience all the way around when I decided that I needed to purchase these two appliances.
We bought the Kenmore Elite 29272, the day after Thanksgiving in 2010. We are now on the second main control board in ten months. Both times, the part has been back ordered and Sears has called the day before our appointment to reschedule. In both cases, they put the situation in our hands to track the part and then call them once we have the part in hand to not waste their time. What about our time? Each occurrence has lasted a month. This means the washer has only been in use 8 of the 10 months we have had it. I think they were trying to draw out the time so it falls out of warranty.The customer service department term used loosely is extremely rude. This is an outsourcing issue as there is no culpability with the product or support. The customer service person had the gall to indicate that if we feel that strongly about how bad the product is, to write the CEO. This is actually not a bad idea, though it will be intercepted long before reaching the intended source. Once the warranty fails, we are tempted to use the National Tire & Battery plan with Sears. Anyone that has seen the commercial, understands to throw the product through the plate glass window. Then, we will get a new washer that will not be a Kenmore (actually, a re-branded LG). Koreans.
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. (Now have a basic Speed Queen. LOVE it!! I have water again!!!)
We purchased a Kenmore series 300 washing machine in September 2015. It was our first Kenmore we have ever purchased in over 55 years. The machine is terrible. The tub design causes the machine to vibrate severely even with medium loads. It doesnt clean the clothes very good and my wife has to run clothes through the rinse cycle at least twice and even then there is soak in the clothes. We would definitely not recommend Kenmore to anyone, especially this machine.
It is one of the cheaper models but it gets the job done. As long as you dont pack it too full it will get your clothes really clean. And you save a ton of money because these work just as well as the more expensive models. Its not anything fancy or futuristic but it has a few control knobs and is very easy to use if you arent good with technology. It has a very basic appearance but it looks good overall. Ive had mine for 4 years and I have never had any problems with it at all. These washers are really tough and durable which is the reason I choose to always buy this brand.
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.
I like it because it is easy to use and the feeling of the clothes after they are cleaned is refreshing. I recommend it because of the reliability of it. The washer is so nice - the design and everything is awesome. I love the clean and sleek look it has. I love getting things that are quality for your money and this is one of the items I would recommend to anyone who is looking for the same thing as I was.
It is very effective and powerful. It also is fairly quiet. I absolutely would recommend it! This washer is fantastic! It keeps the clothes clean. It is very reliable because with one wash your clothes come out fresh. The washer itself is great in appearance because it looks very modern. It does not look outdated or out of place. It is it necessarily fancy but it looks nice. It does not stick out like a sore thumb. Washers can be pretty expensive. When it comes to price it is true what they say you get what you pay for. In this case you will not be disappointed. It is absolutely worth the value! It will get your clothes cleaned the first time. In the long run that saves you more money.
Ive had the Kenmore Elite Oasis Washer for about 5 years. Thought it was a great washer until after 2 years when I kept getting the F1 error code. Had that serviced and did fine for a while, now getting the LD error code (doesnt drain & spin). I have to unplug it and hit POWER... DRAIN & SPIN... START just about every load of wash. Getting serviced tomorrow. Unfortunately extended warranty wasnt purchased.
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.
I purchased a Kenmore washing machine almost 2 years ago… I’ve had at least four service calls on it and has a clicking sound all hours of the day and night. They have been out to my house numerous times. They’ve replaced everything they say electronically the problem has gone away for about six months. Now it started again… I don’t even want to bother with them anymore so I just prop up the lid door so I don’t hear the sound in the middle of the night. Other than that it cleans fantastically. Was so much less soap and so much less water, Kenmore model number 110.25132411!
I purchased this washer based on Consumer Reports and other recommendations. I have had nothing but problems with this washer. Been a little over a year since new and had Sears techs out 3 times. Water leaks out of the overflow valve on the back and floods the floor. Tech says to use low suds detergent which I do. We cannot wash more than 4 towels at a time. Must use a minimal amount of detergent. Can hardly use any detergent when washing sheets and blankets as it goes out the overflow valve onto the floor. Sears tech says its the way the machine is made. Im ready to dump this washer and get something else which is a shame as I have all Kenmore appliances and have always bought Kenmore for the past 40 years. Sears needs to do something about the design of this washer.
It washes the clothes really well and is very quiet. However you cant add anything once it starts which can be inconvenient at times. I seem to always find a stray towel. The Kenmore washer is very durable. I have not had any problems with it performance wise since I bought it. Everything looks like it was made very solid and built to last. The Kenmore washer has a very modern and trendy look. I really like the glass front door. It is especially nice if your home is like mine and you dont have a traditional laundry room. It was a bit pricier than some of the other models I was looking at but overall for the features and look I think it was a very good deal.
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.
Washer is easy to use. Reliable, money saving and works everytime. I would strongly recommend getting and using Kenmore clothes washer for your home use every day. This is quiet and saves money time and energy.
My top load Kenmore Elite Washing machine is 4 years old and has been rusting for the last 2 years. I finally decided to check into replacing the top and I found out it will cost over $350. This is absolutely ridiculous!! In 40 years I have NEVER had a washing machine rust! I will never buy a Kenmore product again!
We bought a Kenmore Series 600 Triple Action Technology High Efficiency washing machine to replace a tiny, old machine left by previous owners. I wish we had kept theirs. This machine is the worst piece of machinery Ive ever owned! It has shredded two sweaters, doesnt get clothes wet, let alone clean and is a complete waste of my time. Even using the Deep Fill option doesnt guarantee your clothes will all get wet. Your clothes will come out of the washer tied in knots and stretched. There is an option of two rinses, that you would think would at least get your clothes wet, but, alas, it does not. So I have to think the high efficiency adjective was a complete lie. Using more water, extra water, having to wash things two and three times doesnt seem very efficient to me. The engineers who designed this washing machine should be fired. Seriously...go to a garage sale and buy someones grandmas old Maytag or even go find a stream and a rock and you will be much better off than buying this machine.
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.
Sears Kenmore model 110.28002011. Same problem as the recall that occurred on 12/18/2012. Recall number: 13-073. Same violent shaking. This is the exact same circumstances that occurred during the recall as report in recall #13-073. Washer purchased new in Jan 2013. I will never buy another appliance from Sears, not to buy and will tell friends and family and social media. Sears do not stand behind the product that they are selling... I will never buy another Kenmore not because of the problem but because of the lack of support behind the product. With all the complaints they received, neither Sears nor Kenmore stepped up to resolve this issue.
Does exactly what it should and does it well. Locking door a nice feature, and comparatively inexpensive. Highly recommended for anyone. Fits anything nicely. Clothing, bedding, everything washes evenly and quickly. Even large, thick bed comforters for and wash nicely. Couldnt ask for more. Clean, simple look and easy to read dials. Cycles are down on lighting displays and are easily found. White paint fits any decor, but is easily scratched. For the price, you cant beat the value. A very dependable machine with low maintenance at a nice price point. No need to go more expensive.
I had bought very expensive towels and it took only washing them 4 times and they were shredding and falling apart. Then my washer frequently has uneven loads so often I will get frustrated and just go to the laundromat. I dont understand my parents have the same one and theirs does not do either one of these. Why???
Purchased Kenmore Oasis washer 5 years ago. 2 years later computer board had to be changed. Problems again since January 2013. Recently broke down August 2013. Technician has appeared 3 times already and will come again tomorrow. What is wrong with Sears washers and where does Satisfaction Guaranteed or Your Money Back come into place?
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.
Does large loads, including pillows & comforters. Very quiet machines. Nice variety of colors. Cost of operation & water savings are a plus!! Ive had mine for over 5 years & only had to have a service man out here one time! The machines display a code when theres a problem & you refer to code guidebook/owners manual & follow instructions! Its easy to do & Ive done this one time! These machines can do large heavy loads! Ive done pillows, blankets & comforters! Both of my sons are big guys & I can do 5-7 pairs of pants/jeans in a load! I also do my grandsons baby things on delicate w/ air dry only! These machines are very clean & modern looking! Front loaders (a first for me) & digital led display! At a first glance I think space age & technology are the first things that come to my mind! And they are normal sized! Im very keen on saving money wherever whenever so these machines hit several buttons for me! The lowered water usage means I save on my water bill! The lowered electric usage means I save on my power bill! The ability to select the length of time running also equals savings on electric bill! The reduced amounts of laundry supplies needed to use these machines equals savings on laundry supplies!
Kenmore is a very good washing machine. It has demonstrated a great work and has an spectacular performance, conserves the water and is very ecological, handles very well the washing time as well as its internal performance.
Our Kenmore Elite high efficiency top load washer just had a recall and no longer has some of the features we initially paid for. But there are more reasons to avoid this product. There is a rust issue thats now eating into the enamel of the washer at the liquid bleach inlet of our two year old washing machine. Yesterday, based on some other reviews I read while contemplating my two cents, I checked the water temp when the machine was placed on a warm rinse. Guess what? Its cold water. This machine is disappointing and so are the responses given by Sears when you contact them with the concerns. No longer covered by manufacturers warranty. True. Didnt purchase extended warranty. True. But what about product integrity? Product expectation? This washer is disappointing. Ive been a loyal customer for years, but sadly my loyalty has been eroded with inferior products and service.
My washer tears small holes in my clothes. They dont appear to get caught or wrapped on anything so I dont know why it is happening. It doesnt happen all the time and I have only been able to find one other complaint on the internet like mine.
Kenmore washers are reliable and last a very long time. The clothes always come out clean and fresh and dont seem to wear out as they are washed. Perhaps the best feature of the Kenmore washer is reliability. It is very rare for anything to break down and the clothes consistently come out nice and clean. The washer is a top-loading model which I prefer. I like the simple features and its easy to keep clean, as opposed to stainless steel which would be a nightmare to keep up. Kenmore washers are affordable and are a great value. Considering how long they last, and how little they need to be repaired... I highly recommend one.
Kenmore HE top loader - I purchased this machine thinking it was way better than my older machine. Im very disappointed, my clothes dont come clean. It only adds enough water to get them wet, sometimes items come out with dry spots. I tried smaller loads and clothes still dont come clean. Some still smell. My husband works in a golf course and his shirts, (which can be quite smelly) still have an odor. I never had this before. Also, my darks sometimes come out with white spots on them which I never had before. My daughter used my machine, who has a Whirlpool and says my machine is awful compared to hers. It doesnt add enough water for the clothes to properly clean. Would never get one like this again.
Works great, affordable price and lasts for yrs. Cant beat the performance and how well it works. Just dont overfill with clothes. Little loads for high soil items is best. The water is great working and cleans soiled things very well if you do smaller loads but use full cycle. I find with the kids socks and grass dirt it cleans and dont beat them to death. Im very happy with the quality and performance. This is also a great washer to have if you do camping. The look of a washer doesnt really matter to me only because it is in the basement and I am the only one that sees it however it is a stylish and old fashion design that one that sees it knows it is a washing machine and sees the elegance of the style. I would recommend this washing machine to any person that has a lower budget and still wants guilty and if a super cool look doesnt matter you will fall in love with this great working product that still gives you a smart look and high performance product.
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 like that I can set the washer to start later, like an hour or two up to 12. That way I can go grocery shopping and when I get back the washer will still be on. My complaint is that Im not supposed to cover the center (theres no stick anymore) where theres a metal button. If it gets covered, like when I wash sheets and blankets, it wont drain. Itll actually take more time by re-rinsing and not draining so my sheets and blankets come out soaking wet. They never spin dry either. Id like there to be an option to spin only. Right now I have to select rinse and spin, which uses more water. That kind of defeats the purpose of it being HE.
Kenmore 600s series from Sears - This washer was highly recommended by be salesman. We paid more than we wanted but wanted a good quality washer. I regret ever buying this washer. We are a household of 7 and it is frustrating that the clothes do not even get wet when they are being washed and nothing ever smells clean. Please do your research before investing good money and not getting what you pay for.
