Kenmore Washer broken
Kenmore Washer issue
Kenmore Washer difficulty
The washer is great. I thought I would have problem with it like my previous washer but I am so happy with it performance. Its fast. I put like 3 loads a day and they only take like 30-1 hour. Its amazing! This is one of the best washers I have ever bought. I have always been scared that the washer will give up on me or one day stop working out of nowhere and staying without a washer. This washer is very reliable. I am pleased with the color of my washer but I do wish there were other colors of it. Maybe a black or even grey one. I believe they only offer it in white which is not bad but it would be nice to see it in other colors. The design is great, it is too extravagant or complicated. As I have been saying before, I am extremely satisfied with this washer. The value of it was just right. What I mean with that is that I paid a pretty good darn price for an amazing quality.
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!
I have always used Kenmore. Has always been a dependable, quality product with excellent customer service. This specific washer has never given me one single problem. Not to mention great, efficient customer service. Looking to upgrade to a front loader next!! Perfect size, surface has stayed unscathed with our often brutal wash sessions. Nothing too fancy as far as controls but that helps with teens using the washer. Value is excellent. Kenmore has always produced a quality product for a good price. Less is more in this case. Would purchase again.
I like how it washing my clothes. I like how the product is made. I like how I can use the product. I can use it all the time cause it cleans my clothes. I will never change the product name. I will use it all the time. It product is very reliability. I know that if I told my friends they would use the product too. I know I can make sure it would clean my clothes the way I like it. Smell nice and clean. The appearance is really good. I like the value of the product. I like how they help you out the service that needs to be done on the products and I know it will last for a long time and I know it will work like new if I had it a for a long time. I know I can take good care so it can stay the value of the product.
Tuesday, Feb. 17, 2015 a Sears Service Rep came to the house to repair our 3-year old Kenmore Top-Loading Series 2000 Model Washer. The washer was unbalanced during the spin cycles causing the machine to shut down. The Sears Service Rep replaced all four shock absorbers/springs on the basket with new ones. He also reprogrammed the machine. That afternoon we used the washer and it operated normally with no problems. Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2015 we used the washer this morning and it is now doing the same thing as before, rendering the machine unusable. We contacted Sears and they scheduled us for recall service on the morning of Thursday, Feb. 19, 2015.Thursday, Feb. 19, 2015 we were scheduled for service this morning, but Sears Service never showed up during the scheduled time window. We also received no telephone call informing us that Sears was not going to able to make it to our house. We called Sears Service that afternoon to complain and they rescheduled us for Saturday, Feb. 21, 2015 between the hours of 5:00pm and 6:00pm.Saturday, Feb. 21, 2015 Sears Service was scheduled to re-service our Kenmore Top-Loading Washer between the hours of 5:00pm and 6:00pm. Once again, no Sears Service Rep showed up. We called Sears and they said they had no record of us being scheduled for service that day. Diana was on the phone for 2 hours with Sears Service, all to no avail. They were not sympathetic and didn’t care. They attempted to reschedule us for Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2015. We told them that was the one day that week when we wouldn’t be at home due to doctor appointments. We asked them to schedule us for Monday, Feb. 23, 2015, Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2015 or Thursday, Feb. 26, 2015. They said that they couldn’t do it on any of those days as they were booked up. Sears Service said they could only come out on one of those days if someone canceled their appointment.Monday, Feb. 23, 2015 we called Sears Service again to try and get a Service Rep out to repair our Kenmore Washer on Monday, Tuesday or Thursday. They once again insisted that they could only come out on Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2015. They stated that if we didn’t accept Wednesday, then the earliest date that they could come after that was Tuesday, March 3, 2015.Sears has proved to us that they don’t care about fixing our machine, except at their convenience. They have stated that they couldn’t come out earlier unless another customer canceled their appointment. Sears apparently doesn’t care that their Service Department canceled on us twice, with no qualms about it and without notifying us that they weren’t coming. They refuse to make the service of our Kenmore washer a priority, even though it is Sears fault that the machine was not repaired correctly the first time and that Sears has failed to show up for scheduled appointments on two occasions. Sears Customer Service is absolutely horrible. When we called them to complain, they were uncooperative and refused to give us contact numbers for supervisors or the corporate office. They kept apologizing, but obviously had not one iota of care whether our washer was repaired (for a second time) in a fair and timely matter.
I purchased the Kenmore Automatic Washer model 796.3162#31# in 2016, and I had to have it replaced within 3 weeks of delivery. The water would not drain out of the machine. The machine I now have rips my husbands t-shirts. I have pictures to prove their destruction. I have had 2 different servicemen come out and it still occurs. What I have just discovered is there is a tiny barely noticeable metal wire that sets up and the clothes are getting caught on that wire. All of that money was spent on a washer that destroys my husbands shirts. I hope they are able to fix this issue.
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.
I have had a Kenmore washer for at least fifteen years and the only thing that I just had to replace are the dogs. Just replaced the dogs last week for under five dollars. It was super easy. I would recommend a Kenmore washer because it works great, cleans clothes and bedding up to my winter comforter quite well, its very dependable and it well worth the money.
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.
Washer Works great, large capacity, quiet. Excellent for all fabrics. Dryer large capacity great variety of settings for both. Does excellent job on large and small loads. Washer is toploading can easily pause to add clothes. Dryer front loader with the same capability.
After 7 months from the Kenmore 3 year warranty, the washer is rapidly rusting and chipping, on the top and under portion, in-between the detergent cup and bleach cup. The warranty for cosmetic was 3 years. When the tech came out to the house, he stated and proceeded to put in writing to Sears, this was not covered. The tech took pictures to back my complaint. The pictures never made it attached to the service order that Customer solutions department had received. The Customer Solutions representative, located in the Philippines, proceeded to tell me, I was not covered. The representative told me, he was only there to take my information; the representative CONFIRMED, Sears is aware of the problem and is NOT doing anything about the problem for their customers. Customer Solutions, DID NOT offer any type of solution.Every appliance in the house has been a Kenmore product; I put in a complaint, and of course, still waiting to get a return call. I expected Customer Solutions to have been in the United States. So very disappointed and irritated. Not looking for a brand new washer----just the replacement portion for the top. Because, Sears knows there is a problem.
This washer is excessively noisy. It makes many different noises and is totally annoying! The washer does not fill up with enough water even when you select Deep Fill. You must put the detergent in before you load your clothes and this completely stained a new shirt. The fill rate is slow. If you need to stop the washer it does not cancel out properly. The cycle takes too long.
I purchased a new Calypso washing machine from Sears in 2003, and initially loved it. But after finding my clothes were not getting clean, they were smelling mildewed, and it finally broke altogether, I scheduled numerous repair appointments with Sears. Each time I found that my machine was broken again shortly thereafter. (By the way, Sears Service is another sad story, and I think once you purchase a repair and maintenance plan, you are last on their schedule.) After, much complaining and saying I was filing an action under the lemon law, they agreed to credit me the amount of purchase for a new washer.I bought the Kenmore HE4t with this credit in 2005. I have been able to reset some error messages, but today it just stopped working. Maybe I shouldnt be upset as I have gotten 8 years of service from it, but what upset me was, once again, that there was a recall for my Kenmore machine, and the problem I am having is a common one, with many complaints: it is not registering the door lock (F/dL). Decades ago, Sears was known for quality. I feel like all they make now is pretty crap that they charge a lot of money for.
Kenmore Elite Washer delivered in 8/2013. From day one it would stop mid cycle. Oct. 2014 got so fed up babysitting it to make sure it finished that I called for repair. Person said it was a common problem. Tightened wash plate and then sold me a Protection agreement. He said call whenever happens again. Feb 2015, they came out again for same problem. He said I had to ensure I only put like clothes together and that really it isnt a washer for just two people! He also decided to adjust one leg on the washer as he thought that may be an issue also.For the past two weeks, it has started not finishing cycles again, even though I have made sure I only wash like products together, ie jean only, towels only, sheets only, etc. Painful when there are only two of us. After babying this machine all day yesterday, I ran the clean washer cycle. It took three starts and stops. I then tried to do a drain spin to at least get the water out.This morning, I called the repair number for them to come out. This is now the third time on this machine. They are dispatching tech by end of week. 5 days for it to sit with water in it. She also told me to call the Protection Dept. to see if anything they can do. So in the meantime, I have a washer sitting here with water in it. She said to unplug it, let it sit for a minimum of 40 seconds and then try the drain spin again (which I did try twice last night). I will give it a try while I wait for the PA dept. to pick up as they are very busy, according to the recording.
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 Connect Washer. Ive owned this new washer for just over 6 months and have had 3 service calls to get it fixed; including complete replacement of the computer chips. And it died again today! BEWARE!! After 17 service visits, Im told I can get my money back... 14 to go! Thanks Sears/Kenmore!!!
The Kenmore Washer Elite Oasis works fine till the ending number 6 rinse. Last couple of years, the problems are way too many with the machine. It cost good money. Please help me!
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!
The washer seems to handle large loads with ease and gets the toughest dirt out. Its very user-friendly and easy to use. I would recommend this one to anybody. Usually this could fit all my daily items. My family and I go through many clothes weekly so we had to gave a large capacity washer. This one fits the bill perfectly. It is modern-looking and modular. It gets within my laundry room decor without looking too blocky or white even though that is exactly what it is. The value here is super great. It is a good washer that Ive used for many years. If you amortize the cost over a period of useful years you will get out of it, you will get a daily cost of only a few pennies. Who couldnt afford that?
The performance of this Kenmore washer was amazing. I never expect such a quiet washing machine. My family loves to use it and I have lately fun to use it. This Kenmore washer has the best performance I ever had in washing machines. I could not make a better decision on a washing machine like this device. The appearance of my Kenmore washer is just great, it fits perfect in my kitchen to all other appliance I have! The value of this Kenmore device is just fantastic! I got this appliance in Home Depot for a good sale price and on top a rebate. I was just happy with my purchase.
Does what its supposed to do. Very happy with the different settings. We use them all. Clothes come out clean. Also like set and go ability. We had this for four years and its not given us any trouble. Works every time, does what its supposed to do. We are happy with the reliability. Washes good. Sleek looking machine with up to date buttons and settings. We like the look of this machine very much. Its why we chose it. We liked the value of this washing machine very much. We shopped around and compare models and prices and landed on the Kenmore and didnt look back.
I really like it. It was a great set. Would recommend to anyone. It was green, it had a position for a small load... It clean my clothes really good. My hubby bought it for me.
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.
I purchased a Kenmore Elite washer. The worst $900.00 ever spent. This product is bad. The service folks couldn’t ever fix it. The parts were bad. They used up my extended warranty and never fixed it. Motherboard fried and its cost to repair you might as well buy a new one just not Kenmore. Very disappointed. Long time Sears customer.
I have owned this Kenmore Elite Oasis HE washing machine for 6 years and we had a recall on the machine 3 years ago - after years of the machine stopping because of UL unbalanced load. With this recall, they replaced the computer memory board. However, my machine is doing the same thing again. Sears has sent a repairman that would not even open the lid on the machine to see the problem. He ran a diagnostic test on the machine and said that he had no idea what the problem was. I called Sears repair and they assured me they would repair my machine. However, when the next repairman was on his way to my house, he also had no idea what the problem was with my machine. When I explained the situation, he had no direction on how to repair my machine. Is anyone else having the same problem? I do realize that I have purchased my last Kenmore product and anything from Sears!
Our clothes always came out very clean using this washer and smelling great. My husband works in the motor oil manufacturing plant and he always comes home smelling of motor oil but using this washer, it really gets the smell out. This washer is very reliable and easy to use. We had Kenmore appliances before and will have them again... I have never had an issue with the Kenmore washer having any issues. This washer has a nice, sleek design and easy to use dials and knobs. It is also easy to read... No need to go find your glasses to start it. We bought our Kenmore washer at Sears and the associate that helped us was very helpful in finding what we needed and how much we were willing to spend and we feel we got our moneys worth.
We really love our washing machine, never have any issues. He washes a big load of clothes. Gets them very clean and smelling fresh. Has plenty of wash cycles and choices. It is one of those that only uses very little electric. Energy saving.
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.
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.
First experience at the newest kind of front load washer. Couldnt believe it was so quiet. However, it took me a while to accept the fact that I saw no water or sloshing in the window of the machine. Somehow it gets the clothes clean but it is still magic as to how.
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.
We installed our washing machine in 2001. It is still running great. We have had no repairs nor problems in that time. We wanted to update our laundry room but did not have the heart to throw out a good machine.
This washer has had a much larger workload than I intended when I bought it 2 1/2 years ago (7 adults), and it is still as quiet and reliable as the day I hooked it up. And with all the setting levels available, it has always done an outstanding job of actually getting our construction-worker clothes clean as new. Has done an average of eleven loads a week for 2 1/2 years and still runs and cleans like new: even for the three of us construction workers, two car mechanics, and two ladies in the house. Its appearance is modern, but without looking like an airliner cockpit with all those confusing lights and controls that youll never use. After 2 1/2 years of washing for seven adults without a single breakdown, it still performs like new. I think weve already got our moneys worth out of it.
I would recommend these products because they get clothes clean and dry perfectly in a very quick amount of time. They also never break down. I have never had either of my items malfunction or break down since the day I bought them. I would highly recommend these because they are perfect for large families like mine who do a lot of laundry. The appearance of these items are perfect. They go with anything else you may have around them. They fit perfectly just about anywhere and theyre very easy to keep looking clean. The value of these items for the great low price is wonderful. Full functioning anytime of the day with no malfunctions or breakdowns of any kind. Also very quiet.
My wife and I bought both Washer and Dryer on 10/20/11 and the washer had a recall and every scene they came out and did whatever they had to things have been crazy - the washer always gets out of balance. The other day the tub hit the front shell of the washer, it is a piece of scrap that should of went to a scrap yard for junk. The recall was for reprogram control unit.
I have owned my front loader for 18 years and it’s still running strong, I have never had an issue with it and will definitely buy this brand again. It is very user friendly and I can only imagine how the new models are.
They always work well and will run forever. Easy to get parts and to have repaired. Very economical to run and the clothes are clean. I would recommend them and would purchase another one in a heartbeat. Great appliance. I have owned 2 and they have always worked well and lasted a long time. My clothes are always clean and smell fresh. Local company, made in America. Sears carries parts and will service them.
We purchased model #28002011 Kenmore washer in 9/2011. Were 2 older people (no pets) requiring 3-5 lite loads of laundry a week. In the last year or more, the washer would add time while in a cycle. For instance, it would count down to say 2 minutes remaining, then adjust the time to say 8 minutes. When youre trying to perform other tasks this could be madding enough. Now after the wash cycle it would just click never performing the rinse or spin cycles. The serviceman informed us the washers motor & transmission must be replaced at a estimated minimum parts cost of $250 plus labor. This was the worst major appliance purchase we have ever made. I dont believe trips to the laundromat would have been as costly & only less inconvenient in winter. Im all done purchasing Sears products.
It may be a little difficult to understand what each button does when you first get it, but its really easy to learn and it is very good at what it does. Were in a family of six and it can still hold all of our lights, darks, jeans, etc. Unless your family is massive, there will definitely be enough space for your clothes. Appearance-wise its a little bland. Personally one with a more chrome-like appearance would look nicer. It was definitely a good price for how good of a washing machine it is. Im not going to say it cant be a little cheaper, but it doesnt bother me quite as much with how well it does overall.
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.
I have a front load extra large capacity washer with sensors that determines load size and how long, strenuous or light the wash cycle will be. So far, I don't have to worry about what I am washing - heavily soiled items, denims, delicates or bulky linens, this washing machine has done a perfect job. Love it!
It gets the clothes clean and dry in no time and does not take much time and can take a lot of clothes. Easy to load and unload no matter how much stuff you have. Just get it and you will be amazed how much little time it really takes to get the clothes down and how much time you have for yourself to relax. Love the color. Its simple and so easy to clean on the outside and easy to use and figure out for the first time you use it takes no time at all. The price was amazing and I thought it would cost more and it didnt, and was on a payment plan and got it paid off in no time whatsoever.
It works great. Its economical with its water usage. This sure is a reliable product. I have not had to contact a repairman, which would certainly be expensive. I really do enjoy and trust my washing machine. I am a very proud owner of a top loading Kenmore washing machine. I used to have a front loader, but it was very prone to growing mold and mildew. My current washing machine never lets me down. I did not have to pay a fortune and there have been no repair issues. I highly recommend.
Clothes were always thoroughly washed. It also wasnt that loud and washing time was adequate. The problem was that after 3-4 years I had trouble with it and water started to leak and my clothes would come out smelling weird. The first years the washing machine is excellent but a couple years later it starts to leak and your clothes dont come out clean. Especially in my condition, water would leak and it also stopped spinning. Luckily I knew someone who fixes them so I still use it. The appearance is okay. I really like how its white and the window is there to see if your clothes are ready. The size is okay. Its not too big or too small either. Im a little disappointed at the price it was when we got it. The reason is because it ended up needing repairs a few years later. If it would have lasted longer I wouldnt complain.
New owner of a Kenmore High Efficiency Top-Loading Washer. Little different than conventional washers so following instructions as always, seems very important. Our issue is that our clothes come out VERY wrinkled. This possibly wouldnt be a problem but my wife hangs our clothes outside on a clothesline. Therefore she has to iron everything. Being under the 30-day warranty a service tech is coming out to determine whether there is a problem with the washer or a correction can be made in doing our laundry which we hope happens. At this point, Im not entirely certain I want a tech determining what course of action needs to be taken. Sticking with the washer or replacing it which is a warranty option.Updated on 03/06/2015Called Sears within 30 days of purchase to address extremely wrinkled clothing and annoyingly loud machine. Part was ordered and replaced but the tech wasnt interested in seeing a video of our machine bouncing in place even though he checked it for balance. Distressing seeing as how the tech has the authority on the next steps taken as to replacing this brand new machine.This is a purchase I deeply regret!
I bought a new Kenmore top load washer and the lid keeps locking when its not in use. Ive had the lid lock replaced along with the entire motherboard and its still doing it. This is the worst appliance Ive ever had. Theyre coming out again but Im not sure what else they can do since theyve already replaced everything possible. Piece of garbage. They better offer to replace it but Im not sure I want another one of these.
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.
I bought the Sears Kenmore Elite top-loading, high-efficiency washing machine (manufactured by LG) in May 2011 for close to $1,000. At first, it was fine. A few weeks ago (January 2013), it started overflowing every time it fills. I watched the numbers on the control board go wonky instead of counting down the minutes sequentially. It overflows on the wash cycle, wont drain unless I stop the cycle, and manually select drain/spin, then it drains perfectly. I recognize a wacky computer when I see one, so I unplugged it thinking it might reset itself. Problem keeps happening. I researched it on the internet and saw that there is defective casing material used in the manufacture and the motherboard gets wet!I called Sears expecting the company I knew from all these years to be there. But all I get is cryptic, non-answers to direct questions and pressure to purchase a service agreement. Ive been unemployed for a few months and I dont have $230 to put into a $1,000 machine that I just bought! Oh, and by the way, if the repair costs more than $500, your service agreement doesnt cover the additional cost. You get to take care of that out of your own pocket. I wanted Sears to come fix the problem caused by faulty manufacture or at least give me a straight answer about what the likely cause of the problem is and how much it would take to fix it. It doesnt matter who it is, whoever youre talking to doesnt have the information you need. You get transferred or disconnected. Whoever youre transferred to doesnt have the information you need either and cant imagine why the first person transferred you to them. I dont believe a corporation would permit such incompetence if it didnt pay off.So I did some more research and found out on Consumer Reports that my unit was covered by a recall. I called Sears back and asked them, Why are you trying to sell me a service agreement for a unit that is covered by a recall? explaining again how the machine was flooding my laundry room. They said, Oh, thats totally unacceptable, says the agent. Let me transfer you to the Product Resolution department. The Product Resolution guy puts me on hold to look into it for several minutes. (If I ever hear a Sears customer service person say theyre going to look into it again, Ill start getting suspicious!) The Product Resolution guy says Yes, you are under recall. Well set up a recall appointment for the same time you had the service call, and well cancel your service agreement and refund your money within 4 days. (This is less than an hour after I had caved on the service agreement upsell.)Mind you, this appointment is 10 days in the future, the best they can do. Their technicians are very busy and they wont tell you what time of day, or give you a number to contact the technician, or any information that would empower you to have control of your day. Sometime between 8am and 5pm, so in the interim, I got a job and they would like me to start the day before this appointment. Now, I have to delay my start date so that I wont have to deal with personal business the first week of my new job. Already Sears has cost me $375 in lost wages. So, today is the day. The technician gets here to fix my washing machine under recall. It turns out that the recall is a software update that the technician says will not address the overflowing problem. I got Sears on the phone while the technician is still here, more runaround, more transferring, more looking into it, an offer of $65 off a repair call for which they wont estimate a total cost. (And I dont believe this is not the first time theyve had this conversation; a helpful person would say something like, at worst its this, at best its that.) Finally, I talked to a supervisor, went through the whole story again, and I asked her what she would advise if I were her mother. She told me this isnt personal with me. Sears cant provide you any more services because the machine is no longer under warranty. I replied with Sears can, but it wont. Sears knows theres an issue with this machine, and its happy to have its brand associated with it when youre charging $1,000 but you dont want to stand behind it when theres a problem. A new washing machine doesnt act like this and I can see other people on the internet have had the same problem. I believe their new business model is to hold customers hostage to an outrageous initial investment on products with known defects and then gouge them for repairs. If it already costs a lot, why not pay a little more? The whole customer service process is set up to make it so painful that you just cave in. Its immoral, and if it isnt illegal, it ought to be. If theres a class action suit, I want to be part of it.
You could probably get your clothes cleaner by taking to the creek to wash them. It is the worst machine. Cant even clean handkerchief with bleach and Tide. Take it out still stuck together. Someone told the corporate morons this cleans better hardly uses any water. I have been watching the cleaning action. Terrible. I will keep this for a year then will buy another brand. Dryer isnt much better. Take new pants off hanger put in to try to get creases out and when it is done you have to iron because it came out so wrinkled like you slept in them. Terrible product.
I bought a new Kenmore washer 7/2011. It will not rinse in the normal and heavy duty cycles but rinses normally in the casual cycle. The repairman was prompt and knowledgeable – no complaints there but he told me that was what the washing machine was programmed to do. So, I am only able to wash laundry on the casual cycle in this new machine. Someone, please explain that to me! I will never buy another one from Sears!
Works good with all types of clothes in hot and cold water. Saves energy. Very quiet and not noisy. Looks very good and does not take up that much space. Long cord so you can put it anywhere.
My washer makes a noise. It’s been repaired 2 times. I now need to buy new one. Mine is only 2 yrs old. I paid 1000.00 for it from Aarons. Do not buy from a rent to own company. I’m very upset I’m on a fixed income at that.
I was not in the market for a high end, or fashionable looking washer with added features. I just wanted a washer that would allow me to wash my clothes and nothing else. Kenmore was the type of washing machine that was capable of regular to large loads of clothes without having the question or doubt in my mind to want to switch to another brand. I was able to do the normal washing that I was doing. Also, it was very reliable and needed no professional over to fix and broken parts that would cost me more than what I was willing to pay out of pocket expenses for. The price I paid was so inexpensive. If I had the money today I would buy me the same model and brand without worrying about how much it cost.
The washer constantly smells like mildew, even after cleaning the gasket with bleach, and running an empty load with hot water and bleach. I have heard from several other friends that they have the same issue with this washer. My laundry room always smells like mildew, and clothes have to be removed immediately, or they will need to be re-washed.
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.
Do not purchase this Kenmore Elite washer. The washer constantly stops due to uneven loads. Customer service is worse than the washer. Saw several reviews where its obviously a problem and have even had recalls on several models, but more concerned about selling home warranty than fixing the problem. Dryer is great though.
The washers appearance is nothing out of the ordinary and is not too complicated to use. It is very reliable and I use probably 3 times a day. It works great. It washes my clothes really well and I havent had any problems with it since I have bought it. I have never had a washer like it before. It is one of the best washers Ive owned and the value of the washer is well beyond the price. It is totally worth the price I paid and would probably buy another one if anything ever happens to my washer.
The front load washing machine is hard to keep clean. Lint and other debris gets trapped in the door seal and smells. Even though the door is wiped every time and the magnet is used (so the door doesn’t close fully) it still stinks. My towels always smell sour once they get wet again. I don’t think this is a Kenmore issue. I think it’s front loaders in general. My next washer will not be a front loader.
This has been the most dependable washer Ive owned in quite awhile. Its just too sad that Kenmore appliances are not very popular since Sears has left the retail world. I was always a Sears/Kenmore customer for all of my major appliances purchases.
Dependable and seemed to hold up to anything that I washed in it from a light load of delicate to a large heavy load of winter snow boots and thick quilts. It also came in enough style and color that it would be impossible to say that someone could not find the right one for their home. So I guess that I would have to say that owning one has been a good experience for me.
I have owned my washer for three years and I have never disliked an appliance more than this machine. The washer is Energy Star but this could be the most hypocritical statement made. I just did a load of clothes and it ran through the entire cycle and there were spots on some clothes that werent even wet. I can never just use the automatic settings because the washer does not know how to add the appropriate amount of water. I constantly have to start over the cycle so the machine will add more water or lift the lid so the machine is faked out so it will add more water. And if I forget to do this and all the cycles are complete, I will run the wash or rinse cycle again. Also, the machine will not let me rinse using hot water. How does the machine know what I want to rinse and the temperature that I should be rinsing in. It is extremely frustrating to not be able to select the features, I know are best for the items I am washing. Also the Express Cycle will not let me select hot water. Clearly the operator should be able to select the water temperature no matter what the cycle is. When I need to add clothes, I lift the lid while I go collect the clothes from my childrens rooms and if I dont get back in a set number of minutes, the machine will start to drain itself. I get back before it is done draining but there is no override and therefore it takes more of my time to wait until it drains fully and then again I waste water by having to start all over. Also, sometimes I need to raise the lid again but I dont want to add any additional water. Well there is no way to keep the washer from adding water after you lift the lid. Again more water waste!!! If I could leave the lid up while the washer fills with water, I would be able to check if my clothes have faded and add more clothes if I want and this would not only save water but save me very valuable time. Speaking of time, with my previous machine, I could do a complete cycle in 30 minutes and therefore I could complete 2-3 loads of laundry in the evening. But now one load is the most I can do. Even if I do the Express Cycle, this is 35 minutes and then I have to rinse again (which is another 24 minutes) so it takes an hour and the clothes are no cleaner than before. The tray for where you add bleach never drains completely. Therefore I rarely use bleach for fear that the residual water left in the tray may bleach my next load of clothes. When I do use bleach, I wipe the tray dry to ensure the bleach residue is gone. In closing, I wish Kenmore would do a more complete test market to ensure their appliances work for the users and not cater to unjustified government regulations. I assure you I use far more water and electricity with my current Kenmore Elite washer than I used with the my previous machines.
With five kids a capable, long lasting washer is a necessity. Also have found it to be very energy efficient. Size is also a plus, giving both bulk and ease of use. Ive had these products for at least a decade. Always been very satisfied, especially with the newest addition. Washes at least five loads every other day and hasnt been anything but dependable. Usually I prefer a top end loader. Current version is front loading and Im pleasantly happy with the choice. Also kids love to watch the cycles go through. Value wise I think our current washer is a bit on the high end but its hard to argue compared with the effectiveness. If given the opportunity Id definitely choose our current washer however.
I really enjoy my Kenmore appliances. I never have to rewash my clothes and I can count on them to do the job. They have multiple setting that work with my everyday life and I use them all the time.
Kenmore Dishwasher machine does a great job. Comes from a well respected product line that has been around since my grandmother’s time and has never failed to perform its assigned with efficiency. This product line brings back fond recollections of the machines I used as a child. Handles reasonable loads, simple to use, load & clean. Reliable operation without an overabundance of functions that I neither use or need. Handles all the capacity I need in my day to day life with conservative use of water, soap and power. My main concern with any unit is that it easy to load, and handles the washing with as little trouble as possible. Easy to clean, with a spartan appearance that lends itself to my lifestyle and sensibilities. I especially like the clean lines and simple control features without an attempt at being overly stylish or trendy. Simplicity is my driving concern.
Kenmore washer model 110 - I purchased this washer on Dec. 11, 2015. Was told this is their most popular washer, can wash a king sized comforter, energy saver. Got it delivered and started using. From the very start it did not clean my husbands jeans and t-shirts. I have always Shouted the stains on his work clothes, washed them in cold water and always came clean, but this washer takes at least 1.5 times as long to wash and they come out just as dirty as they went in!!! I started trying different wash options which only add more time to cycle and still no difference. I called Sears and told them I was dissatisfied with the washer and was told I have had it longer than 30 days, and I wouldnt be able to return. I called service who came to check machine and was told that there was no errors showing. Nothing he can do. I am so mad. Paid a lot of money for a washer that doesnt wash, and I have to send my husband to work with dirty clothes!
It did a sufficient job cleaning my clothes and getting dirt out of kids clothes. Would have liked a larger capacity. Worked well with all detergents. Had no problems with my washing machine. It did the job I needed it to do. Was extremely reliable. As expected. Its a normal washing machine. Simple, worked as intended. A washing machine doesnt need to be elegant to do its job. Our landlord purchased it for its value. No complaints from the peanut gallery. Fresh clean clothes.
This washer is great! It cleans clothes thoroughly, even grimly work clothes and kid stained items. It is very durable and requires little to no maintenance. I have had my model for over ten years now and have never had to have service performed on it. It does require regular cleaning but no more or less than any other model. Very sleek design and easy to load. It is big enough to accommodate large loads but the overall size is small enough to fit in just about any configuration in your home. Any product that lasts longer than 5 years without requiring service or needing to be replaced is an excellent value. My family has always bought Kenmore appliances because of their overall value.
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.
I have leveled my fairly new Kenmore 600S top load washer so many times. I can’t stand it anymore. I have never had a washing machine that couldn’t stay on balance like this one. It can’t possibly be the sheets, can it? Every load that has sheets, no matter how many, it cannot spin without bouncing all over the place. Forget about pillows, light blankets and towels. Maybe this is a problem for all HE top loaders but it never ever happened with my front loader or agitator. All of which were Kenmore.
This washer is durable and reliable. It cleans clothes very well yet is gentle on fabrics. Leaves me feeling like it cleaned my clothes thoroughly. Kenmore is a brand I trust. I have owned 2 Kenmore washers in my lifetime. The first one I bought I gave to my daughter and still works today. I wouldnt purchase another brand. Its your typical top loading washing machine in the standard white color. Directions for use are under the lid top. Agitation type tub. This Kenmore washer is very affordable. This specific washer to me was priced to sell. Its a great price for such a wonderful, reliable brand name washer.
The Kenmore Dishwashers reviews were favorable and pricing was okay. It was available to me in my local store. It is built in and I really like the lock and easy opening door. No hard banging when opening. It works great, cleans well and has strong, great working jets. There is No soap residue, it washes to my expectations and is easy to use and load. Also, I agree with most reviews and the price was not too bad.
Great product that works extremely well and is very quiet. Very energy efficient and allows me to do large loads without any problems. As far as reliability this machine is perfect. It can handle very large loads and is very quiet while running and it can handle all of the abuse of teenagers using it to do their own clothes without supervision. The controls are very high tech looking but very easy to navigate and use. This is an extremely great and affordable value for this machine. It works just as well as the top end machines but you do not have to pay an arm and leg for it.
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.
Performs well, clothes come out clean and fresh, lots of different cycles, very reliable, never had a real problem with it. Good load capacity and lasts a long time. Very reliable because it has never broken down yet, never leaked, always cleans the clothes extremely well, come out smelling fresh, holds a lot of wash per load, it is a nice looking machine. Good quality, looks high tech and innovative, has a lot of options and buttons to select different wash cycles, nice color and premium looking case. I would have to say that this machine has extremely good value because the price was fair, is reliable, works well, is quiet, cleans almost all stains.
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 just purchased my Kenmore January 27, 2019. The soak button is odd and does not really do me any good but I had a horrible experience with LG so I am holding out hope for this new washer.
I have a Kenmore Elite Front-loader. My feeling is that clothes do not come clean, therefore 2 hour cycles necessary. The machine has been reliable. It is nicely designed, but I would not purchase another front-loader given my overall experience.
My first washing machine was a Kenmore that we got used from a neighbor. It worked forever and was super reliable, and always cleaned our clothes well. Quality, trustworthy and reliable. Never had any issues with it. We used it for over 5 yrs and then sold it when we moved.
For a high-end washer it has broken down twice within its first year of use. Top rack wont stay in when pushed in. Kenmore used to be a quality brand. That is no longer the case. We own three Kenmore products and none has lasted or functioned without problems. Buy another brand.
I’ve had my Kenmore for about 10 years. I get it checked out through my maintenance agreement every two years. I’ve had very few problems with my washer. One was with my bleach add in tray that started to rust and the other was with the balancing of the washer to stop the knocking sound. Both problems were corrected and are no longer problems.
Performance very good... but sometimes make problem if load is full.
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!
Its easy to used, carries an incredible amount of clothes in one load and just gets the job done all around. A definite recommendation. I bought it some time ago, more than a year now and its still going as strong as ever. It shows no sign of breaking down any time soon. Its a simple, discreet looking thing. Im not one for much splash and pizzazz, so its nice to have a plain washer that looks nice without stealing every eye in the room. Definitely not expensive, and well worth the price of purchase. One of the best washers on the market and with a price you cant beat.
Kenmore Washer Model No. 796.40318900. Shortly after purchasing the very expensive washer it started leaking water. Why, no explanation given from sears. Then we started getting dE which means door error. Since I was busy working we decided to get sears out to repair. I should have done it myself! They send tech out a week later and just used the code given to swap out parts without really troubleshooting the root cause of problem. They replace the door switch for $240.00. Three days later it has the same dE and at this point I am livid at myself and sears. IF its the same part that went bad they would fix it under the 90 warranty on that part, if its something else they would charge me again. Just swapping out parts is not a reliable way to troubleshoot a problem. Thats just the easiest way sears probably trains their techs. This took about 3 weeks to get the second tech out. I just wanted to get another switch installed and I was going to troubleshoot the real problem myself. I guessed you figured out by now, nobody I know that is married can go a month without washing clothes on a regular basis. I will NEVER do business with sears again. I took the wife to Lowes and purchased an LG washer that was very similar that would fit on the stand I purchased with the kenmore. When the second tech finally shows up, I point him to the garage where the Kenmore sat connected to power. He told me he couldnt troubleshoot it not connected to water. I told him sure you can because it gets the same door error and will not start. Now the truth comes out from his mouth. Well the problem is not the door switch, its the software! I said, You mean the controller? He said, Yes, this is a known problem and for a refurbished one it will be $125.00 plus labor and a new one is $225.00 plus labor since its not the original part. So lets get this straight! They knew it was the controller and they scam you into believing it could be other parts to charge you out the ** just to steal your money! Now I paid for a repair that didnt really fix the problem because the controller works randomly and now they want another $350.00 to replace the controller. This will bring the total to ~$600.00 to fix a used Kenmore Washer that cost me $1500.00 brand new. No matter how you look at it, with the new LG Washer and the cost to repair the old one that I may not be able to sell without gilt is now over $2,100.00. By the way, the tech also said that Sears tried to duplicate the technology from LG and failed badly and sells everyone crap at big $$$$$. Also, the water on your floor is caused by a couple things. If there is too many suds build up in the washer it will flush it out the back of the washer and runs down the back side onto the floor. They didnt design it to go out the drain normally. This makes no sense whatsoever! If you do not clean the glass door and rubber around the door frequently, it will leak water out the front also and begin to make your washer smell bad. Straight out of the techs mouth. Way to go Sears! Make everyones life a PAIN. Now that other companies sell tools that are lifetime warrantied, there is no need to buy anything from this company ever again. STAY AWAY FROM SEARS! I hope you read this complaint board before making your next purchase!
It runs very well and cleans the clothes the way they should be cleaned. Its quiet and doesnt make a lot of noise while in spin mode. This is a well paid for unit. Its big and wide enough to fit all my clothes in it and do a great job of washing them completely. You cant go wrong with a washer like that. The appearance of my Kenmore washer is something I enjoy looking at and am glad that I bought it also for the good appearance of what it represents. I am enjoying the value of my washer and all it does. I feel I got a great deal when I bought it and would enjoy doing it again if I have to.
This washer is great as far as capacity and is energy efficient which is great. However, it is CONSTANTLY uneven, even after the tech was out and replaced the control board, rotors, and a number of other working parts. Ive had tech out a total of 3 times and Im now scheduled for a 4th appointment and I dont know what the tech is going to do to fix it now because pretty much everything on this washer has been replaced. Honestly, I would like a different style of washer because this one has not lived up to its expectations. Im very dissatisfied but luckily I have the 5 year warranty through SEARS because I would be paying a lot for parts and labor if I didnt. I was told that this washer was recalled and I can definitely see why.
I have owned my Kenmore top loading washing machine for 10 years. It may not be the most attractive washing machine but it is definitely the most reliable and dependable washing machine that I have ever owned. It has never failed me once and gets all my clothes very clean. I have recommended the Kenmore washer to many of my friends and have never heard of any breakdowns or repairs. I know that someday this machine will quit on me and when that day occurs, I will go right back to the Sears store and buy another Kenmore!
Four washing cycles to choose from, including the pre-wash cycle, large capacity tub, good cleaning performance. Only one problem was the liquid fabric softener build up needed maintenance. Purchased, performed, and lasted an incredible twenty years for a family of six. Replaced due to the arrival of a unexpected bundle of joy. Very busy mothers need, such as I was, needed the confidence of the reliability. Ran almost constantly. Balance of the tub capacity, very good. Large enough for all blankets, comforters, and a very fair amount of towels, jeans, etc. in loads. This washer was more for the performance than its appearance. If I needed an attractive appliance, I still would have chosen this model. I was more involved in the washers performance than the appearance. Value was well worth the cost of the appliance. Dependable and reliable. Used for two decades and only one service call on the appliance.
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 love my washing machine, it has been very dependable. In the future I probably would not buy a front loader again because of having to leave it open always. Sadly to say I do not even know if a person is still able to purchase a Kenmore machine.
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 was a very nice product. It held a large amount of laundry and did an excellent job cleaning. The only drawback is that it seemed to take longer than regular washers. This product is very reliable. It never seemed to have any problems or get out of line. If the clothes were out of balance it would adjust them itself. I had this product in black and silver and I loved the way it looked. It had a clear top so I could look in at the clothes at any time. It was an excellent washer. The price I paid for this product was a little steep but for the quality of this product and the overall job it does it was a very reasonable price that I paid.
We were familiar with Kenmore and stuck with what we knew. It is a quality brand and it was on sale at the time. It has very much smart and exceeded our expectations. We like that it is push buttons and not a huge dial. There are many different cycle types which makes it very simple to do different loads. When the clothes come out they are not as wet due to a good spin cycle. We also like the glass top so we can see the clothes get washed.
Very effective on hard stains. A little loud but easy to understand directions. Allowed for fairly large loads and was gentle on delicate clothes. Could be overloaded in washer if not careful then it would not move very well. Very reliable. Was pretty fast and did a nice job with all sorts of stains. Appearance was nice and smooth. The controls were easy to use and understand. The door was smooth but closed fast with a slam if you were not careful. Value was fine. I feel like I always pay more for a product than what I should. But for what I needed and how it worked it was worth the price.
It cleaned my bowls, pots, pans, Tupperware, plates, and silverware very well and fit into small spaces while still having a large capacity. I also like the color and the layout allows me to put all of my cabinets in it so I can use everything between washes. My cat also enjoys playing in it. It met my expectations and was not the least expensive but the value it has provided has been worth the added cost. It also looks fantastic in my kitchen and everyone who has been to my house comments on how great it is.
We always bought Kenmore machines since 1970. We purchased this top loading washer recently and have been very unsatisfied. This new machine never appears to clean the clothes well. They not only come out a wrinkled mess, they also come out with white splotches and dirt splotches on many dark clothing. As for energy efficiency, it takes a lot longer for a load to be completed. Had a technician come in the first month of usage, and was told what to do differently but nothing changed. Today, was the last straw: a favorite jacket that has been washed successfully in the past, came out worse than before I put it in! Would love our old, no energy efficient, agitating washer back in a heartbeat. Makes me think twice before going to Kenmore for another one.
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.
I have had this washer for over 10 years and have never had a problem with it. I would buy this brand again and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a washer. The washer fits all my needs. I like that you can pick the size of the load of clothes that you are going to wash and they always come out clean. This washer looks very nice but it is a plain white. I wish that the Kenmore washer like this brand came in colors like the more expensive ones. This washer was well worth what I paid for it and if it broke down tomorrow it would not owe me a cent.
I highly recommend this machine. Clean design and lines, will fit with any decor, is versatile. The white color cleans up nicely. I’ve had other washer that got dirty easily but not this baby. All clothes come out clean, enough settings to clean anything, easy to use and clean, very reliable and has a small electrical footprint. This machine is great for the money, doesnt have all the bells and whistles but it looks nice and has worked great from day one. Had washer over 2 years now and hasnt needed any servicing or maintenance. I think it would be hard to find a better machine.
Belt broke after years of use. Cheap part. Easy to use. Smells if not cleaned right. Good performance overall. Extremely heavy. Took 3 men and a dolly to move. I can wash a full size blanket easily in this washer. Several soaps to pick from. Must be HE compatible. Has a timer. Comes in handy. Had this a few years and the only issues were the belt broke and its heavy to move. Has a compact storage shelf on the bottom. Mine is white and silver. Easy to clean surface. Quiet. Was a rent to own purchase for our family. A little pricey but you get what you pay for.
