Purchased a Kenmore Washer Model 796.41382410 in Oct. 2014. A small plastic magnetic catch on the door broke and Sears will not sell that part alone. They want me to buy a new door for $200.00 plus shipping. None of the small plastic parts appear to be available alone. All must be purchased as part of a larger (and very expensive) assembly. Last Kenmore for me.

This machine has been nothing short of reliable. It has worked for more years than I can remember and has needed minimal maintenance. If it ever broke, I would buy the exact same one again. This washing machine has always worked and has never broken. This machine still looks as good as the day we bought it. It has never done anything that would impact its general appearance. If anything, there is minor wear on the inside. We have gotten more than our moneys worth out of this washer. I would recommend it to my friends.

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.

It worked great. We bought it a while ago and it still runs like new. We have a family of 5 and it works great. We use it every day. Wouldnt trade it for anything. So reliable we havent had any issues with it even with daily use for a family of 5. We have 3 dogs and it does great with the dog hair also. So cute. Fits in with all of our appliances. Love the design and load capacity. Its just the right size and the display is easy to read. I think its an excellent deal for what we paid. It has every feature we wanted at an affordable price. Great brand for your buck. The load size and look was cheap compared to other brands.

I have a Kenmore front load washer. It's about 10-15 years old now and has been a great washer. I had a service man come out one time when the inside rubber gasket tore, otherwise I've had no problems with it over the years. It has been very reliable. I leave the door open when I take the clothes out, even though I've never had moldy smell in my clothes. I usually wipe out the gasket (around the door) every so often, but not that often. The front paint ended up bubbling from spilled detergents over the years, but that's simply cosmetic. Those front panels are replaceable, but it doesn't bother me that much. I never thought this washer would be so good and last so long. Thanks Sears for a good quality appliance.

Worked ok. Didnt last as long as expected. Washer was a bit rough on clothes so bought a different brand the next time. Hence have become very disappointed in Sears so have avoided their products.

Works great. It fits all your loads in at once! Its efficient and gets the job done with multiple loads, and its energy-efficient. It saves time and money especially with a busy schedule. Its white, front loader, and fits in my pantry space. Not too big. Cost about $900.

I loved Kenmore because it always worked and was reliable. I had it for a long time and never had to repair much. I only had a few issues which were temporary and probably from my own wear and tear. The machine was recommended by a family member. They knew that my old washing machine had broke and decided to tell me about a sale at Best Buy. I got it about 20% off and I really got my money’s worth from this machine. It worked for a long time, but it was cheaply made and it had a lot of other problems cosmetically. It could have had stronger material or make it out of better things for large families and the wear and tear they bring.

We have a 2-year old Kenmore Series 700 Washer. On December 12th the hose on the rear of the machine failed due to corrosion. Our home was flooded. The hose was replaced and failed again in 3 weeks due to corrosion or some chemical reaction. We had our house re-grounded by an electrical company. Two weeks later the same result. We need technical help so that we do not have another $100,000 insurance claim.

You can put in a large load of laundry and feel confident that it will come out clean. The HE saves on laundry detergent and water. I like the features for whites, especially since I clean whites for my work clothes. I have never had a problem with any Kenmore washer. The brand has always been reliable. I wash large loads of linens, clothes and I can always count on them to come out clean. I like the color. Its not bulky and looks pretty slim compared other brands. The control panel is simple to use. Not confusing to operate. Kenmore washers are a good value. The price is a high selling point. There are other washers out there with a lot of bells and whistles but the quality isnt as good as a Kenmore.

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.

I was happy with them but I dont think they lasted as long as they should have. Bought new from Sears but bought Maytag. Brand had better reviews and were bigger inside. When you have a family you need the biggest. Also bought front loaders, much better.

Very efficient, didnt use a lot of water or power and was very quiet. It was very simple to use and even did large loads quickly. I was very satisfied with this washer. It was very reliable, it last about 15 years before we had to replace it. It never gave us trouble at all, and we never had to replace any parts on it. It was very nice looking. It was bright white and matched the paint in our utility room. It had smooth corners and looked very modern and appealing. Wouldnt change anything about it. This was a very good, reliable washer for the price. It was on the lower budget price side but it still gave us many years of use for the price.

I bought the washer about 18 months ago. It quit working. Sears tech said main control board is defective. To me, that is a factory defect yet I had to pay 320 for extended warranty. Ive called many times, Sears just keeps throwing my calls between the reps. Ive not had a washer for a month!

Is really good, doesnt damage the cloth, doesnt consume too much water, requires average time to work and the noise is low. It is practical and useful. I am happy and satisfied with the level of reliability because that model of washing machine can make all that I need and expect from a washing machine. The size is really good, of course if you need to wash a lot of clothes probably you need another washer, but in my case this is good for me. Simple and practical. The value of the washer is excellent because the price is good and the performance is great. Represents a great balance if we talk about price and performance.

This washer is large and handles my kids messy clothes easily. It is quiet and uses much less water than my previous washer. It can handle bulky loads with ease. We have had this washer for 5 years and have never had any issues to the need to call for a service repair. Best part is, if you follow the directions, dirty clothes come out clean! It isnt the most modern look, and it has a lot of different buttons, but it is a practical looking washer. The dial might be a bit antiquated looking, but it is easy to use. This washer is a little more expensive than others, but it is eco-friendly and cuts down on water use, which in drought-stricken areas makes it totally worth it. Plus, it is competitively priced with other front loaders.

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.

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.

My Kenmore appliance is so great. It is very reliable and Ive never needed to have a repair done on this appliance. Also, this Kenmore washer is very quiet! It is also very roomy and the appliance itself seems very sturdy. I would recommend a Kenmore Washer to anyone who is looking for an appliance. Also, this Kenmore was bought back in the late 90s and it still works perfectly as long as I clean it properly every few months to keep it going.

The washer is amazing. It has different spin cycles depending on your preference. It is able to get my clothes nice and clean in a timely manner. The appearance is pretty common. It has the knobs at the top and the washer opens up the normal. The washer is very reliable and I have had not one single problem with it. When I need my clothes done in a hurry it gets the job done very quickly. It is of a good value because of different key components. Some are how the washer works, what are the different features and the look of it.

I bought my washer somewhere around 2009. Two years ago, we had to have it serviced and again we are having it serviced and they cannot seem to find out what is wrong with it. Two different people came out and they got it working and when we went to wash clothes, it is back to getting the F35 code and SUDS. We have been using Pods for a long time now, but it is a piece of garbage. I would rather have a regular washer with the agitator, nothing with electronics. It is so not worth it. I spent thousands on this pair. It is so sad how they do consumers. They trick us and keep us spending money.

My Kenmore top load washer 500 series is junk. Been dealing with this piece of crap for three years. My problem washer goes into spin mode and makes a load boom bounces hard shakes and stops spin. Very scary. Had two service tech out change the computer board and one changes the tub ring. Still having the same problem. Dont want to use it anymore because I fear its going to break my floor tiles when in spin mode. It shakes and bounces so hard. Its a piece of crap. Going to call the service department once again if they dont fix it they find in their showroom dont buy this washer. Its crap.

My washer has been very durable however the renewal of the warranty is not affordable. I love the washer chosen because of being old fashioned. It has the agitator inside. The control panel is also very easy and understandable.

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 washer does the job well and gets clothes clean but I wish that I had a larger washer. I have a large family and the load size is fairly large most of the time, so I very frequently have to do multiple loads of laundry to get all of it done. But other than the size of the washer capacity, I am very pleased with it. It is just the ordinary plain, white washer. Nothing in particular that is fancy or special about it. It also is in a laundry room, so it isnt out in the open where it is always seen by others. But for the job it does, it was a great bargain and has been well worth the money that was spent for it. It was a very reasonable price because I chose just a basic model.

I purchased this washer brand new from my local Sears store about 4 years ago and just now getting around to writing a review. Truth be told, I finally got fed up with having to wash my whites 2-3 times or by hand to remove stains. Not sure if its the lack of an agitator or what but this machine has not cleaned my laundry properly since day one. Next week I will be replacing.

After 30 years with previous Kenmore washing machine we decided to purchase a kenmore as a replacement. We did not need something that was real high tech so we went with a basic machine that did what we needed at a very competitive price.

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.

The clothes are washed well and the time isnt too long. It isnt too loud. Theres a lot of space for clothes. The machine is reliable and it washes clothes thoroughly. The sound is loud and clear. The washings leave the clothes damp enough to make the dry cycle quick. The appearance is clean and sleek. Its white but the color makes it look clean. It has a grey stripe and the white makes it get dirty easily. The value of it is satisfying and didnt cost much. It is worth the quality of the machine.

I purchased this Kenmore series 600 washer triple action washer brand new from Sears in May and I am still not satisfied with the inconsistency on how it cleans clothes. I have called the store and the 800 repair line to get help and have been given instructions on how to use the machine because the technology in how the machine washes clothes is new and different from my previous machine with the agitator. To summarize, Ive been told to use no more than 2 tsp of HE detergent, use the cold clean cycle, use deep water fill cycle. Im doing all of these and still get periodical residue left on clothes. The machine has 11 wash cycles, and looks great sitting in my laundry room but does not consistently clean my clothes. I trusted the name Kenmore to mean quality so I think this particular machine has a design flaw. I have misplaced the store receipt, but I charged it on my Visa credit card so I can always get a copy of that if needed.

A little over 14 years ago we purchased our one-piece stacked Kenmore Washer/Dryer from Sears for $599. Since then, Ive used the unit nearly every day for our family. I just wanted to let you that its working great and Id recommend the Kenmore stacked Washer/Dryer to anyone. Its nice to know that in this day of disposable products the Sear stacked Washer/Dryer is a product I can depend on.

Easy front loading and has a feature where the door stays open a few inches for odor control. Quiet, uses less water and has a lot of cycles to chose from. Easy to add soap and fabric softener to the reservoir.

Worked well for my big family. I do laundry about three times a week and this washer fulfilled my familys needs. I didnt have many issues. When I did, Sears fixed it. I still have this washer. Very reliable. Never ever had any issues. Ive had other machines that gave us a ton of problems. This machine isnt one. I recommend it for big families like ours. Very pretty or fit in our small laundry room. But it fit big loads of laundry. I would definitely buy more products from this company. I was able to fit my king size comforter in this washer. It was surely worth the money. I had a more expensive washers. That didnt work as well. This one is one of the expensive ones, but its awesome, came with a great warranty.

Well I had this same washing machine for over 8 years and its still running strong. All of the knobs are still intact and the cycles come to a complete. I would recommend this appliance because of its durability, point blank.

Semi-fast could be faster. Wish it could hold a little more. Overall its not a bad washer. Kenmore is a name you can trust and lasts a long time. I wash about 6 loads a day so its not a bad washer! I wish it didnt take me all day to do it. Its a kenmore and not the best one. Once its time to get a new one I will get a more efficient washer. Its pretty plain, white washer with a white tub so the appearance isnt that pretty lol. But overall its nice I guess. We will see the next Kenmores once I am ready for a new one. For the price and how much I wash its value is great and its worth it. I havent had any issues with it. The loads just take a little longer than I would like. When I am in for a new one I will get a better one.

Nice machine. Works hard. Never let me down. Cant complain. Would definitely recommend friends and family to purchase this Kenmore machinery. Gets the tough stains out. Kenmore machinery is built to last for years. Are able to be passed around. Easy to use. Has settings. Very durable. Absolutely one of the best washers Ive used in years. Very sleek. Can go anywhere from the kitchen to the laundry room. Not bulky. Nothing to be ashamed about having anywhere with it. Custom design. Pretty white color goes with all colors.

Ran great, no repairs and finally gave to my son so I could get a new one. He has had no issues. Still running great. I really liked this washer. It was great. Clothes always clean. Would recommend to friends and family. Also would purchase this brand again. Multiple stages and washing Cycles to choose from, durable finish, did not ship crack or dent. Paint did not rust. Right price for the right machine. Good quality for the price. Very reasonable - was able to afford it.

I like Kenmore because it seems to be the best long-term appliance. Service on them I have been able to do myself cause simply to disassemble and online how-to sites. I have had my clothes get cleaner than any laundromat big washers have done with my Kenmore. I would not buy any other brand.

Makes clothes clean and smell great. Great product and great service. Last a long time. I highly recommend their products. I have had no problems with the upkeep. Easy and affordable for parts and service.

We bought a Kenmore Elite top loading machine less than 5 years ago. The lid started rusting soon after we bought it. It has progressively gotten worse. The whole lid is rusted now. It looks horrible. I take care of all my appliances. I had a previous washer for almost 40 years. I shouldve kept it. It had NO rust anywhere. Kenmore and Sears has cheap, crappy appliances. They are not what they used to be. Think K-Mart quality. DO NOT buy appliances from Sears anymore. If you dont pay through the ** for an extended warranty, you are out of luck. The reason they sell them is because they KNOW their stuff is crap and will not stand behind it. Go to an appliance store where they will stand behind their products. RUN from Sears and Kenmore. Theres a reason they are going out of business.

The performance was fine. I never had any problems with the washer and I thought it did a fine job. We never had to have it serviced. We finally sold it when we moved, but overall it was a good washer. The washer was reliable. We had no issues with it for the 6 years we had it. No service was ever necessary. It was a little bit loud at the end but it still worked great. No complaints about the reliability of the washer. It was a very standard washer. It was not flashy or amazing to look at, but it got the job done. The washer was white with no other colors. Pretty bland but again do you really need a washer to look extremely fancy?? I dont think so. Since the washer was so reliable and lasted so long, I feel like I got my moneys worth. I dont know how it compares to other washers but I think it was worth the money I paid. Definitely went through a lot of laundry!

The equipment is very reliable and a great machine. The sound is very minimal. The machine is very thorough and my clothes always come out very clean. I would highly recommend it to others. We havent had any issues with the equipment since purchasing it. The equipment has a great appearance. The size is perfect for any laundry space. I highly recommend this equipment based on the appearance. This equipment is a great value. Its very affordable. Well worth the money. Its a great price. I highly recommend it based on its value.

Affordability, simplicity, and maintenance, all add to the experience of ownership. Works great. Really gets clothes clean. Energy efficient and durable, all the things I expect in such a important home essential.

The washer is great for heavy loads. It performs well with large loads and cleans well with all types of cycles. I especially like the way the washer washes in cold water. It gets all my clothes clean the first time. I have never had a problem with reliability. The washer has never given me any problems. It cleans well, has never broken down and I have never had to replace any parts or call a repairman for any type of service for the machine. I love the features of the machine. It has all the cycles you would need - regular, delicates, heavy loads and the machine does a wonderful job on all cycles. I have never had problems getting my clothes cleaned. The price is well worth it for this washing machine.. I have compared it to whirlpool and Maytag which I have had in the past and it works just as well as whirlpool and Maytag and it cost a lot less.

While the Elite Front Load washer is a step up from our old front end, the requirement to drain water out of the bottom of the washer is ridiculous. Even when drained as much as possible it retains a smelly Odor that is transferred to clothing. This needs to be solved in future models. We purchased in 2016 so ask if this is still an issue.

Model 27122 serial #C42330018 - Coin operated washer. 7-23-14 Purchased washer from Sears on line. Deld 7-29 - Leaked immediately - they replaced 2 days later. Machine failed within a couple of weeks - had to wait till 9-4 for service call - circuit board was fried according to repairman & said he will order new one. Waited 10 days only to find he never ordered it. 9-19 - Repairman put in new board but did not recalibrate machine (which another repairman said he should have done). Machine broke down again. 9-30 - 3rd repairman came but could not fix. 10-8-14 4th repairman (George) came & recalibrated circuit board. (10-23 machine failed again.) 10-24-14 (5th visit) George returned again and recalibrated again. Frankly no one know why the machine (a brand new machine) keeps failing. This has been going on for 3 months. The machine has never run more than 3 weeks and usually 2 (but 1 wk is the standard time it takes to get an appt. visit). Its a Kenmore made by Whirlpool. The repairmen have said they have a lot of trouble w/ this machine (yes, they actually said that & I have a witness). They blame the problems on the fact it uses a circuit board. Theres more, but I leave it at that.

My Kenmore Elite top loading washer does not adequately submerge my clothes, especially comforters in the bulky/bedding setting with water. Nor does it agitate and move the clothes around to wash them. The drum simply goes back-and-forth so the same clothes that were on the top at the beginning of the cycle are still on the top at the end of the cycle. Bulky items never change position at all. Furthermore, I do not use bleach, but the bleach container has eroded and rusted all around it. I am not satisfied with how this washes my clothes.

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.

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.

My wife and I purchased a Sears Kenmore Elite Washer and Dryer in May 2012. We have found rust on the face and on the hinges. The service staff changed some parts at a cost of $350. The rust was not removed nor could we get a reassurance that the rust would be abated. We found that LG manufactured this machine and we are in the process of filing a complaint with LG. I think Sears needs to be responsible since it is their name on the product. Anyone else have any problems?

I purchased a Kenmore 600 topload washer in 12/09. I was satisfied with its performance, but it only lasted 2 years. The springs became weak, and when the spin cycle ended, it banged, and cracked the outer tub. Repairs will cost almost as much as buying a new one. I spent considerable time researching consumer reviews and wanting an American-made product, and spent considerable money thinking the investment would last several years. It is sad that even American-made products are built to last until just after the warranty expires. The repairman didnt think these parts are even covered in the warranty. I cant afford another washer, and when I do, it wont be a Kenmore.

I bought a Kenmore Elite Washer, Model 796.4147.2210 in May 2013. It has worked just fine until yesterday when it simply stopped powering on. I hit the power button and nothing happens. None of the buttons will work. If I unplug the machine and wait a couple minutes, it will work -- But, after a while or one load, it will go dead again. After searching the internet, I am guessing this is a problem with the Main Control Board, a $220 part. This is pretty much the most expensive washer Kenmore makes, and it was very highly rated. Bought at Sears and they installed it. So disappointing!

The washer was very nice while it lasted. But then once it stopped working it was past the fixing it point. I dont think I would recommend it after all is said and done. Dissatisfied with the reliability. It was a very pretty washer. It was nice and sleek and clean looking inside and out. Very satisfied with the appearance of all things. Looked great with other appliances in my home. I am a little dissatisfied because the washer didnt last long. It stopped working and would have cost an arm and a leg to fix. Was not worth the money I spent on it.

It was bought new and it worked very well. I have owned many different washers over the years and the Kenmore did a better job of spinning out all the water than any of the others. I also liked that it had a lot of settings as far as temperature and type of load.

We have tried liquid, powder, and pod, all HE soap, all of which have been left behind on our clothes. Deep fill seems to gets most of the soap off the clothes but other cycle leaves it streaking across the clothing. If youre looking for a fast washer, this one is not for you. 1hr20min to over 2 hrs. The over 2 hrs normally gets the soap off the clothing but not every time. As you can see with the dress, soap spots all over. I wish I would have thought about taking a picture every time over the last year but then I would have ran out of memory on my phone. The one thing the washer does well is spin the clothing almost dry.

Kenmore Washer 800 is Crap. Ive only had this washer for 5 years, well actually less than 5 years. Three years in, it required a new control module, and now, it needs it again. The module is about 45 dollars and the service call is $90 to have a repairman come out. All three of my Kenmore appliance either have been replaced or repaired numerous times.

On 10-28-2011, Sears Kenmore washer was repaired. model # 45087 and serial # cst0410838. The machine now is quieter and runs smoother than ever. We believe the suspension system was defective since it was new, as we had to adjust loads to eliminate the shaking and vibration. We have spent years of working with this washer, and now paid $280.00 to repair. What will Sears do to retain our business?

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.

We purchased the Kenmore Elite Dishwasher, 2 days after the warranty expired, the whole top rack stopped working, needed a technician to come out and charged us another $200 in parts plus the $59 service fee. 6 months later, there is water leaking all over the floor... the motor pump! Been trying to get someone out, they are happy to charge me for an extended warranty that is $222.99 that only covers up to $500 in parts. Have been on hold for over 1hour 43 minutes, been transferred a million times and hung up on twice when asked to speak to a manager. WORST decision ever!!! Sears is the such a joke, will never buy anything form them again. Kenmore is a piece of junk!!! Couldnt be more disappointed!!! Save yourself and your wallet the agony and RUN out of the doors of Sears.

Where I pour in the bleach and under the top lip of washing machine is rusting! I run my washer through cleaning cycling but these areas are bad and I feel like it should not be doing this, especially so soon! I would figure they would make it more adaptable for the bleach area! We bought our washer from Sears in Statesboro, GA!

Gets my clothes clean without damaging them, no matter what the fabric type. It can wash my delicates as well as jeans and sheets. I dont know what I would do without it. Always works when I need it, and never lets me down. It doesnt require a lot of laundry soap. Any brand will work and its very efficient. That helps stretch the amount of soap I have to buy. Very clean and ergonomic design. Looks modern without sacrificing any of the performance. Its a bit of a workhorse, and can handle heavy loads while still looking stylish. Makes laundry less stressful. I can put in a load and even if I forget it, I dont have to run it again, wasting water and soap. Saves me money and time.

Kenmore gets our clothes clean, offers a Vietnam of cycles, temperatures and I am please. Kids do their own laundry so its easy to use. It stays clean and fresh smelling and cycles are fast. It is definitely reliable. Have had to for a few years and we do several loads a weeks. Have not had any issues with it not operating correctly. We are pleased with its functioning capability. Cant say I have seen a good looking or a bad looking washing machine but this machine is attractive. We have had it for a few years and I honestly do not remember what we paid for it but considering it has worked without issues for this long I would say it was good value.

I have had this washer for over 13 years and it is still working great. My husband changed out one of the belts that only cost maybe $20. Great washer. Like I said I have owned mine for as long as I lived on my own. It is such a good washer I will repair before buy a new one. So far only replaced a belt on it. 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.

After a few weeks our Kenmore Front Loading Automatic Washer Model 796.4027#90# was making very load noise and shaking the laundry room. We tried to adjust everything we could think of. Did not help at all. Then the leaking all over the floor. I drained the hose after every wash. Sometimes it wouldnt leak and then sometimes it would leak everywhere. This is the worst machine we have ever owned. Ive always wanted a front loader, but I was very upset when I bought it. I didnt get the warranty, because Kenmore has been around for so long and a good company. They really messed up on this product. With the amount of money that you have to pay for a front-loading washer, people should not have to deal with all of the problems that this wash comes with. I will never buy a Kenmore product again.

Its a good washer that weve had for a couple years. It can handle big loads and gets everything nice and clean without any trouble at all. Very reliable washer. It has never been broken and never stopped working. It runs like its new and is very clean. I love it so much. I like the appearance of my washer. You can tell its newer and more modern by having the door in the front instead of loading it from the top of the washer. I think it was a good value. I cant remember exactly how much we spent on it but I know that we got it on sale for a decent price a couple of years ago.

We purchased the Kenmore water/energy efficient washer and we wash on either room temperature or warm water. Laundry most of the time come out not as expected with unclean chocolate stains as an example. Also, we were told by Kenmore that we have to run the express cycle (Very hot water) with vinegar in the detergent pocket to remove residual detergent and to improve the washer ability to clean even normal day to day stains. We are not happy with our purchase. Another aspect that made us unhappy is the annual PM included in a 5 year warranty (paid extra) that often the subcontractor is sending washer-untrained technicians to perform the PM.

It work really well. It washed clothes better than expected. I was really sad because I had to sell it. It was really hard having to load it and unload it. I purchased this used. My father-in-law had to fix it by putting something under the washer, so that it didnt leak. Once he did this, I didnt have any other problems. It always worked for me. The appearance of this machine was that was second hand. It had a lot of scratches and dings but worked. That is what I need it for washing my familys clothes. I got it for a remarkable price. This set lasted me probably 5 years if not more. They were still working when I had to get rid of them because I could not do laundry anymore with this type of machine.

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.

My Kenmore washing machine is only 17 months old and the transmission is done. Basically the machine is finished - too expensive to fix. More importantly. Sears will do absolutely nothing unless of course I want to throw a little more money at them. What has happened to product quality and caring for the customer.

I purchased a Kenmore Elite HE3 washer and pedestal in 2004 from Sears. I always dried off the area around the rubber seal, did an occasional bleach wash, hot water wash and sometimes added vinegar to keep the moisture down. I always left the door open after use and I used a maximum of 3 tablespoon of HE detergent. In 2007, I sent a letter to the customer service department explaining that mold had formed inside the rubber door seal and nothing seemed to help. I listed all the things I did and said that I was frustrated that I spent $1,000 and in three years, I was having problems. They responded with a long list of what to do for odor problems, all of which I was doing already. Forward 5 more years and the mold seems to be getting worse despite rubbing down the interior rubber seal with Clorox sheets and drying out the area. I am concerned that I am getting sick from the mold smell. I finally went out and bought a top load washer from a reputable manufacturer. Why should we have to pay such a steep price for a design flaw? Why dont the salespeople warn us about the common mold issue? And why is this happening without repercussions to the company? I would like financial compensation for all of this.

I had used this washer for 10 or more years. Washing clothes was pretty good. However, my washer has broken down. Water coming out of the washer, so had to buy a new one. The washing machine lasted so many years for me. Reliability was good and I would recommend to my friends and family. As for energy efficiency, the noise level was okay and it wasnt that loud. I like it when the washing machine door can be opened in front and able to put lots of clothes in one to two spin. The appearance of the washing machine was pretty good. I like it when it is white instead of other color. When I brought the washing machine, the price was affordable. Right now, prices is not that expensive to afford, so the value is still good.

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 do not have to worry about my clothes coming out clean from my washer. I KNOW they will come clean. Kenmore is the only washer I will ever use. It is very reliable, and makes my life easier. My washer is one of the best assets in my home. The overall appearance of my Kenmore washer is very nice. It has a clean look to it. It always matches with what I have in my laundry room. I like having white appliances because it is easy to clean and goes with the entire house. The value of my Kenmore washer is priceless. I could NOT do without my washer. It saves me time, money and the hassle of having to go to a laundromat.

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.

I have been troubleshooting with this new washer since October of 2017 and I cant get it to clean my clothes. I have had a technician come out 2 times and they cant find any reason why it is leaving a white residue on my clothes, no error code are being indicated as well. I have called Sears and Kenmore asking for an exchange so I can get my clothes clean, that is why you buy a washer. I have spent countless hours talking to customer service only to hear, I will send out a technician to see if they can do a recalibration, clean the tub, now they are going to do a full diagnosis which means check the unit. I have spent up to 6 hours trying to get a load of clothes clean. I did a clean washer cycle then tried to washer the clothes without any detergent or softener and they still come out with this residue. I have tried the deep fill 2 rinse which makes the washer no more High Efficient in my eyes just to see, and nothing. I now have pictures and videos of me trying to clean my clothes and it is getting me nowhere. The warranty that Kenmore has in the book is 30 days from purchase. Who wants to think that they just spent over $700.00 for a washer that did not work so how can you go through the 5 pages of troubleshooting plus the 2 pages of the cycle guide in 30 days. The warranty they have is one year against defect in material or workmanship. I am not sure where the miscommunication is on my call, I keep saying over and over that this washer does not work therefore the workmanship. My first call was to Sears to see how great their customer service was going to be and wow I think I might know why they are slowly going out of business. I then got a hold of Kenmore which is really just Sears so again didnt go anywhere. At this point I have been told that I must have a technician come out to my residence a total of 8 times in order to have Sears/Kenmore consider letting me get a replacement. The technician just hooks up the machine and pushes the buttons and cleans the basin just to say, I cant find any issue but your clothes are still dirty with the white residue. What can I do to get help to exchange my 700 Series Kenmore washer? What is everyone else doing to get resolution through Kenmore? I dont have time to keep taking off work to come out to meet a technician that cant do anything.

Two weeks after I received the washer, it stopped adding water. The repair man came out and put a new part on it and it worked for another week. Then it stopped draining water. The repair man came out again and said he had to order parts, as these were not kept in stock. When he finally finished with the repairs, he said that I had a new machine again, as he replaced everything including the motor. He told me that it would have been cheaper if the Company would have just replaced it.

For the price, the performance is well worth the cost. Clothing and other wash loads come out extremely clean every single time and is always very consistent as well. Very consistent in how effective it is in washing everything from silks and cottons and jeans to towels and bedding. In all the years we have had it, it has had the power. This is a basic, no-frills washing machine. While it doesnt have all the knick knacks and features of other models, the price is right and the cleaning power and consistency is awesome. Almost feels like an absolute steel when talking about the functionality and power this base model has. Totally worth every penny and feel good spending money on it.

I have just spent over 4 hours trying to wash bedding. A new record. I have been told by customer service that I must choose the correct setting for my laundry, cant just use normal. OK, then I am washing bedding, so I choose bedding. I was washing 2 twin sheets and a twin quilt. For some reason, my washer likes to fill with water, spin a little, drain, spin, then fill with water again. For over 4 hours, until I wrung the bedding out and removed it, dripping from the washer. Sometimes the washer is fine, takes a long time compared to other washers I have had, but I can have a load completed in a little over an hour. But other times, it goes into this fill, drain, spin thing for quite some time. The repairman who came out the last time I called told me to unplug the washer and plug it in again, it gets confused sometimes. He couldnt find anything wrong with the washer. So is this normal? Is this the way of washers these days? Sometimes I can do a couple of loads in an evening, sometimes not. Do I choose the wrong settings? Is bedding heavy duty and not really bedding? Or is it the brand?

This Kenmore top loading high Efficiency low Water washer #2130 is a piece of crap, always having problems with the balance. The machine is level on all sides. And we tried all to fix this problem to no avail. Bought at sears in Elliot Lake outlet store 6 months ago.

My washer worked fine before the recall. It took 4 months for the technician to come out and he changed the panel, which I told him worked fine and please save it for me, just in case (we live in a small town). Well sure enough, it hasnt worked properly and keeps giving me an unbalanced load error code. It keeps filling with water and draining, 2.5 hours the first time before I stopped it and put it on Drain and Spin and continually have to monitor it with every wash. Yesterday, I put it on the recommended Clean cycle with just a cup of bleach and it ran 5.5 hours, until 10:30 pm, still with the unbalanced error code, no clothes,etc. until I finally just turned it off. The tech who called and said he would be out last week never showed up or called. I am going to call the national Sears customer service (1-800-549-4505) line again and complain, not much hope for help with this problem though. Is there a class action case?

I have had bad experiences with Whirlpool washers in the past. Less than five years ago, we decided to purchase a new washer since our two-year old Whirlpool washer was giving us endless problems. We purchased a Kenmore Elite from Sears. We did not know that our washer was actually a Whirlpool washer. We have started with the same problems with this washer as we did with our Whirlpool washer. I just learned that our machine was actually manufactured by Whirlpool. I was told by Kenmore that other Kenmore Elite washing machines were recalled with the same problem, but does not include my model.I was transferred to so many different places, including Maytag (why Maytag?) to try to resolve my problem. If my machine is having the same problem as those other models that were recalled, there is a great chance that mine should be included in the recall. I never got to speak to the right department. The repair is costing me half of what I would have to pay for a new one. Now, I dont know where to go to get a reliable washing machine. I thought that paying a descent amount was going to give me a descent working machine. I believe that disclosing the manufacturer on appliances should be required because not everything that shines is gold. A reliable brand on the outside is not always what you get on the inside!

Very reliable. We bought them several years ago and have had no problems and our clothes are very clean. They are also stackable and a great and very quiet space saver. When we bought them they at a very reasonable price and feel that they will last a very long time. We will definitely purchase Kenmore again when the time comes.

We bought a 110 series Kenmore washer in Jan 2013. Last week we noticed it was slowly dripping water into the tub. I researched and investigated everything and found out it is likely the inlet water valve. So I bought a new one for $50 and will replace it myself since it is easy to do. Were still very dissatisfied though. Our last Kenmore 110 washer lasted almost 20 years without a single repair before the motor burned out. Thats why we bought another Kenmore but maybe we were just lucky with that one.

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.

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.

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.

It was a very good washer that worked great for years without needing to get fixed. Its one of the best washers I have came across so far. It was a very reliable washer, no glitches, no repairs needed and worked for years. I consider it one of the most reliable of washing machines. I suppose it looked nice. It looked like most washing machines. Shiny white with white and grey buttons, the basic setting labeling. It was a nice basic looking washing machine. I think it was a very good value due to the lifespan of the washer, the quality of it, the lack of malfunctions. Its a great value for a washing machine.

Sometimes it seems like the clothes wash faster than the older washing machines. This washing machine is very reliable. Older washing machines we had in the past would give us problems within a few years. But this one we have almost 3-4 years now and havent had one problem yet. I love the appearance on this because it a newer looking washing machine and doesnt look like the old ones. Sometimes I forget that this is a washing machine. The value was great. We didnt spend too much on it to the point where we had to think twice about getting it. Once we saw the machine and the price our mind was made up.

Works as it should and cleans clothes fairly well. Doesnt make too much noise when in use and overall performs fairly well as intended for it to. Works all the time so it seems pretty reliable to me. Gives a consistent wash each time it is used and functions with nothing out of the ordinary occurring. The appearance is pretty standard in comparison with other washers as they all look fairly similar. Appearance doesnt really matter to me in this. I got a fairly good deal so the value is very good for it. It pays for itself with the use it gets as opposed to having to go to a laundromat.

Over all its been a good washer, we always leave the door open, but I did see some scum in the seal. It does shake quite a bit when spin cycle is going. It is nice to have a pedal stool under it for storage but the price of them is way too high so I got mine from my neighbor Joe, it didnt fit his so he was nice and gave it to me.

I bought washer 8/23/13. I had repairman out 9/10/14, again 11/10/14 and again 11/19/14. The second visit he was 4 hours late, without a call, or I apologize. Ask for different repairman for 4/26/15. One came, stated washer was fixed and drove away. Put clothes in washer and it will not work. I have used Kenmore products forever. I totally do not understand what is happening to your company. I pay for warranty services to no avail. I would never recommend your products again, unless someone comes and does a proper job that you can take pride in. This has been the most frustrating experience.

I bought my top-loading Kenmore model 2125 in August of 2012. I always buy a pretty basic washer thinking the less gadgets to go wrong on it, the better. WRONG!! This washer has been a nightmare. It literally started malfunctioning two days after the one-year warranty expired. The problem is the computer. It senses and then goes to wash and then quits. One has to unplug it and re-start it over and over. It takes about 4 hours to do a load of laundry when this happens and it happens all too often. I was sitting next to an appliance repairman at a show and told him about my washer and he said the only good washer made today is the Speed Queen. When my Kenmore finally drives me to put a bullet through it, I will find a place that sells Speed Queens and look into them. Does anyone know anything about this washer?? Has there been a recall on the Model 2125?

Bought a new Kenmore washer in 2014. From the time we bought it it was throwing out a cafe F51 didn’t know what it was ( yes ignorance on my part) however if you turned it off and then back on it worked fine. Now it has stopped working completely! I call customer service and ask if it was under recall after telling the lady my name and address five different times. She said no. I ask to speak with her manager and she said she didn’t have one. Wow. I am talking to the owner of the company! So I said I would like to speak to a supervisor and reluctantly she placed me on hold and when the supervisor got on the phone she also stated that the washer was not under any recall. I ask her how she would know that without knowing what the serial number and model numbers were and quickly she ask for them. Put me on a brief hold and wouldn’t you know it same answer! No recall. However it has been giving this code since we bought it. Their solution to the problem is that I pay $99 for someone to come out in a week and see if it is under recall and if not then I can pay to have a washer fixed that was broke when we bought it. Gotta love them! I am not a happy customer!

I purchased the 600S six months ago. I never have felt that my clothes are clean. We also use it for diapers and wash those on hot with two rinses. They always smell even when washed on two separate cycles. Always. Today I noticed on regular clothes on normal cycle with hot water normal clean that I could see areas of the shirts that no water had touched. They were dry. Sears has no method for me to provide feedback on this. So its for you. Choose wisely. Dont be looped in by the deep fill - get something else.

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.

The appearance of the washer is very nice and looks like it is very modern. I believe a lot of young people would even like washing their clothes in it. It washes a lot of clothes good. I can wash sheets, blankets or any kind of clothes. We are very happy with the performance and reliability of the washer. It particularly fits our need and it has been doing a great job at washing the clothes. It was a very good value for the money and I believe that it will last a long time for your needs.

Recently, our Kenmore washing machine stopped functioning. The service tech came and told us it would cost $1000 to replace 2 circuit boards in the machine. We purchased this machine as an upgrade from our previous Kenmore washing machine. We have always been happy with the Kenmore brand, but now we are seriously questioning our decision to be loyal Sears customers. We did not purchase the service plan with this washing machine specifically because we felt the Kenmore brand name was quality enough. After speaking with 5 customer service reps, we got nowhere. Sears is not the company they once were.

I have a Kenmore energy star, he washer, it is very efficient, reliable and one of the best washers I have ever owned. This wash machine is very easy to operate, with multiple settings. I am very happy with the extra large capacity size & clothes are always spun well. Also love the fact that it detects size/weight of wash & determines length of wash cycle.

It is the best washing machine I have ever owned. Cycles are done much faster than I ever would have to possible. It easily handles all of my garments, from the bulkiest ones to my most delicate items. This is the most reliable appliance I have ever owned. It is extremely dependable and that is very important to me as I have to do laundry every day. I have never had a problem with its performance and it has never needed one repair. Its physical appearance is absolutely stunning! Its so smooth and sleek. It looks very high tech and like it is of very good quality. It compliments the color scheme in my laundry room perfectly and really brightens up the whole room. This appliance is a very good value. My friends and family, anyone we have over to the house that happens to see it always ask how much I paid for it and are so surprised when I tell them that they ask for more information on it and say they would consider buying one too.

Excellent washing machine. Many features with plenty of cycles. Had it for 11 years and have has no trouble. Never been serviced. Its an e machine which saves water and power. If it broke down today, I would buy another.
