I caught this washer on sale about 7 or 8 years ago. I only had to have it serviced once, that was for a belt and it was an easy fix. Other than that, the performance has been great. This is a great washer. I have always been able to rely on it to get my loads of clothing washed. It doesnt have a lot of bells and whistles but it has what is needed. Its not big and bulky and it leaves a lot of space in my laundry room. It has paid for itself at least a billion times by now. I love it. Its a very reliable product and I would highly recommend it.

I really love Kenmore washing machines. They have a great variety of different styles. They also have great prices. They definitely were built to last, I would definitely recommend a Kenmore to everyone.

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.

Sturdy enough to clean and dry my clothes while being gentle enough not to overdo them and ruin my clothes. Does the job with little hassle, easy to run and understand options. Very reliable. My clothes are washed/dried every time. Very dependable. Does an excellent job without fail. I never have to re wash as regularly as with other washers. Its very nice. White, mainstream look that is classic and goes with any home and room decor. Doesnt take up much space, and is very streamline and neat. For a name brand washer I find it a very good value. Kenmore is a name that has been around a long time and is tried and true, trusted. And still a great value compared to other brands.

Kenmore is a strong and very reliable washing machine. I would recommend this brand to all my friends. I love it and Ive had no problems ever with it. Im gonna keep getting this brand. It can handle any amount of clothes, never too much clothes. A machine everyone should have. Its not the best but it works better and it works wonders than any other machines. This is a keeper. It looks good but Ive seen nicer styles. But who care about looks. I want a strong machine and this ones it. The price is great and the work it does pays for the price already. You gotta spend some money for something to work so its great.

Even clothes that had stains or very dirty came out clean. No need for second wash. Didnt even have to use the option of extra rinse or heavy dirty. Never had to level it like my top load washer. Never had any issues with it and its energy efficient and keeps my electric bill from skyrocketing. Its quiet you cannot even tell its running. Its compact enough but big enough to fit a big blanket or comforter usually had to take them to the laundromat. It wipes clean easily as well. It was more than I wanted to pay but in the long run its cheaper because it cost my electric lower and my water to run lower. I would recommend it to people.

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.

Kenmore washers are reliable and last a very long time. The clothes always come out clean and fresh and dont seem to wear out as they are washed. Perhaps the best feature of the Kenmore washer is reliability. It is very rare for anything to break down and the clothes consistently come out nice and clean. The washer is a top-loading model which I prefer. I like the simple features and its easy to keep clean, as opposed to stainless steel which would be a nightmare to keep up. Kenmore washers are affordable and are a great value. Considering how long they last, and how little they need to be repaired... I highly recommend one.

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.

Previously owned a Kenmore Elite 4 washing machine and loved it but finally needed to get a new washer. Went with another Kenmore Elite, model #796.41482410. It does have a “clean washer” setting but it does not work so I use other methods to get the moldy smell out of the washer, plus I wipe the tube out and the rubber ring around the door as they get buildup on them. This is something I never had to do with my original washer. We do clean the filter by draining any excess water and cleaning the filter but the filter never has anything on it. All in all we just don’t feel like it washes as well as our old one which I would take back in a heartbeat. Wish I could have returned this one but we’re stuck with this one for a while.

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

The performance is very outstanding. I love the time that it takes to clean. It is very acceptable and I have high remarks about it. I would recommend it to any looking for a washer. Id recommend it because it is also reliable when it comes to time being on your hands. This washer will satisfy all of your needs and thats a guarantee. I love the reliability of this product. The appearance itself made me want to purchase and use the Kenmore washer. I saw in browsing through the Internet and I decided to try it out myself. Much better than the average. The value of this washer machine is outstanding. Words cant explain the worth of this product and its usefulness. I would recommend this to anyone from my family group.

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.

I love this washer and would recommend anyone to buying it. I did my research on this brand as well as read all of the reviews on it. There were no complaints about anything. Its a great product with a very good warranty. It works very well and I havent had any issues with it at all. Its worth the money.

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

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

Kenmore Elite Oasis washer model 11028032701 is leaking from the bottom and making noise. It also has oil or grease coming out from the bottom. Never buy this washer. My mother and I both bought the washer from Sears and they broke after one year and four days. They refused to fix or replace because its four days over warranty. Then mothers washer broke the same way as mine, oil leak and water at bottom two weeks after mine. Sears was totally not helpful. She paid for a repairman and had it fixed. Then a week later, it was leaking water from bottom again. Im not pleased at all.

Has good size door for easy loading and unloading. Has good selection of cycles to choose from, though I do not use some of them. I really like the ability to choose water temperature for both washing and rinsing. I have had it for over tens years now and it has never once failed me. I have never had any reason to feel it was not completely reliable. I take for granted that it will work properly every time I use it. I have a white model, which I prefer so, I can easily change the laundry room decor if I wish. It is designed well and has not gotten outdated in its look over the past ten years. This washer was an excellent value for me. It has all the features I wanted and more at a more reasonable price than many of the other products I looked at. I did a lot of shopping around and price comparison.

Kenmore Series 500 Wash Machine: Bought this machine over a year ago after my old Kenmore wash machine died. In summary: Its A LEMON. Does not put in enough water to cover clothes, no matter what setting I use and I have had nothing but trouble with it. Ive had the repair service come out 3 times now and Sears will still not put in a new sensor even though the express setting doesnt work at all and the lid stays in lock mode from time to time. **I HAVE TO ADD WATER WITH A HOSE RUNNING FROM MY GARAGE SINK TO GET ENOUGH WATER INTO THE MACHINE TO PROPERLY WASH MY CLOTHES**. I figured this out when I first got the machine and my clothes smelled like I had just pulled them out of a dirty hamper after running them through the wash and dry. Advice? Save your money, do your research and buy and better machine.

It washes the clothes really well and is very quiet. However you cant add anything once it starts which can be inconvenient at times. I seem to always find a stray towel. The Kenmore washer is very durable. I have not had any problems with it performance wise since I bought it. Everything looks like it was made very solid and built to last. The Kenmore washer has a very modern and trendy look. I really like the glass front door. It is especially nice if your home is like mine and you dont have a traditional laundry room. It was a bit pricier than some of the other models I was looking at but overall for the features and look I think it was a very good deal.

It is very effective and powerful. It also is fairly quiet. I absolutely would recommend it! This washer is fantastic! It keeps the clothes clean. It is very reliable because with one wash your clothes come out fresh. The washer itself is great in appearance because it looks very modern. It does not look outdated or out of place. It is it necessarily fancy but it looks nice. It does not stick out like a sore thumb. Washers can be pretty expensive. When it comes to price it is true what they say you get what you pay for. In this case you will not be disappointed. It is absolutely worth the value! It will get your clothes cleaned the first time. In the long run that saves you more money.

It works very well and has many different settings I like. The clothes come out perfectly clean and the time is a good enough amount without being too much. Its been very reliable and I have it quite a while now. I love Kenmore products. They can get he job done without being over expensive. The warranty is good also and customer service is the best. Its solid white with only a few knobs so it isnt confusing how to use it. It loads on top and uses more water, but thats the kind I like not one with a tiny bit of water. It is a great value for the unit and I would have thought it to be more considering all it can do. It has several levels for water and different cycles.

Its good, it gets the job done. My clothes fresh and clean. Never had any technical problems with it or anything like that. Very good. I would recommend it personally to others. It works great. Its appearance is good, I like it. The value is perfectly fine, the cost was reasonable.

Never fails me. No matter how dirty kids clothes are always come out clean. I never have to rewash anything. Sturdy. Will never use another type of washer. This washer is extremely dependable. Have never had any mechanical problems. Does not make a great deal of noise. Clothes always come out clean. Sleek appearance. Very modern looking. Very streamlined and never rusts and I have a damp basement. I have even had friends say what a nice appearance it makes. I love it. This washer was worth every penny I spent. It was very expensive but I am a perfectionist about my clothes and this washer answers every need I have. Has never disappointed me.

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.

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 washer did a good job washing and cleaning clothes. It was relatively quiet and I was pleased with its performance. I would recommend this washer to anyone looking to buy a new washing machine. The washing machine had a large enough tub to fit a good size load of laundry. It filled with enough water to clean well and I was very satisfied with my clean clothes. I would recommend this washer to anyone looking to purchase a new washer. I was satisfied with the size of my washer. It fit nicely in the space in my laundry room. Its overall look was nice with easily understood controls. I purchased my washer for a reasonable price and very competitive with other washers on the market. I checked many prices while looking for a washer and was pleased with the price and my purchase.

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.

One of the best machines Ive ever owned. Cleans with very minimal water consumption. You spend half the amount of time doing laundry. It is very energy efficient as well. This machine is very reliable. It is Made by one of the best manufacturing companies in the industry. Very quiet while washing clothes. Never had any problems with my purchase of the product. The overall appearance of machine is appealing. It comes in a multitude of colors to choose from. All controls and buttons are well placed. Has alarm to confirm when finished. The perceived value is nice. The quality of product you would expect to pay more for. You can get a great deal when purchased as a set. Overall Im very pleased with the price. Model of a quality brand.

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 think this is one of the best units I have ever had. It was very surprising how quick and efficient it is. I am very satisfied with all of the options that are available and how quickly it handles each cycle. This is the best washer that I have ever owned and does a great job on both my husbands filthy work clothes and my more delicate items. Definitely very reliable. I have yet to have to stop the load because of any problems. I can count on it getting my clothes clean the first time. It has never destroyed any of my delicate items that I wash. I have had no problems with it leaking or anything else going wrong.While it is a simple design, I think that the simple color fits quite well in my laundry room. It is a good looking washer, and the display is easy to read. I would say that this washer is an excellent value. It does a great job which means I dont find myself rewashing certain items. It seems to be very energy efficient which really helps out in the long run. It was definitely worth paying more for this washer than trying to save a few dollars getting a discount washer. I certainly feel like I have gotten my moneys worth.

I had it for about 5 years, it was good quality and did a good job of cleaning. It was easy to use and the buttons were not confusing. In the 5 years that I have owned it I havent had any issues. It did stink for a short while, but I cleaned it out with vinegar and lemon. It like a regular washer, nothing out of the ordinary. Easy to use and straightforward buttons and directions. The color was average for a washer. Good value, I like Kenmore. It is a little more expensive but maintains its quality. I would buy it again. The price is good for the washer.

I owned for more than 5 years and never any major problems. It is a very reliable machine without a lot maintenance. It dry the clothes good after 60 minutes of run. Sometime longer for one load. The performance decrease with age, it works great for the first 5 years. My washer color is white, medium size, perfect to fit the laundry room in the bathroom, it is made of iron and dont slide or move around. The value is average, no luxurious or high end. Just something reliable and functional. Something easy to use, something you can use everyday.

I purchased this washing machine in April 2010. It was okay for about a year then it started to display SUD and code F35, and would not run on any setting. This was a defect and Sears should offer a recall. A washing machine at this price should last for more than 2 years. After reading the other reviews with the same problem, I have decided to purchase a new washer and it will not be a Kenmore from Sears ever again!

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

Bought a Kenmore Elite Dishwasher a few years ago. Almost every component, from the electronics to the plastic parts on the racks, have failed and needed replacing. The worst instance was when the plastic rollers fell off and melted, resulting in a toxic smell permeating our daughters brand new silicone baby bottles. We will NEVER purchase a Kenmore product again and hope to save someone else the headache and repair costs (hundreds of dollars before we realized it was a money pit).

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.

Kenmore Model 110. This perhaps is the easiest and cheapest washer to own. I repaired mine and it only cost me $40 bucks in parts to almost do a complete overall. Its over 15 years old and all those side loading so-called HE washers are way too delicate and cost hundreds to thousands to own. Do yourself a favor and go to used appliance store and buy one of these 110 models. May not be the prettiest girl in the bunch but she sure as hell will not leave you hanging like these new ones made today. You can thank me in 15- 20 yrs.

Kenmore is a very good washing machine. It has demonstrated a great work and has an spectacular performance, conserves the water and is very ecological, handles very well the washing time as well as its internal performance.

I have owned my Kenmore Elite Oasis for four and one half years. The only reason why I had to purchase a new washer was because I lost my old one (a Maytag) when my basement flooded. I thought that purchasing a Kenmore would be a good idea. My parents always purchased Kenmores and never had problems. Boy, was I wrong! After the first year, my troubles began. I have had the bearing replaced 4 times, as well as the computer board and suspension rods. Thank goodness I purchase a master agreement plan each year, since all this had been covered. The icing in the cake happened 2 weeks ago, when again I was getting the UL code. The first repairman came out and replaced the rods and made some other adjustments. He leaves and I start a load, then get the F51 code! I angrily call back and of course had to make another appointment. I was told all they had to do was reset the computer. Repairman 2 comes out and tells me it is more than the computer, it is the bearing. So there goes week 2 with no washer, and another trip to the laundromat. I was then told that my machine qualifies for the lemon clause, and Sears would email me a replacement cost. They quoted me $830, so I just went out and bought a LG machine. Im done with Kenmore brands, they are junks. For all the money and service calls Sears has had to pay on this machine, they could have bought me four washers! It has been three aggravating years owning this machine, and I would not recommend an Oasis to anyone.

Kenmore front load washer mcl 417-42042100 - This washer is less than 10 years old and I have had to replace the rear tub section twice because the bearing and seal went out. A $177 part just because a $8 bearing and seal went out, the bearing is not sold separately. The last time I replaced this part, the rear tube section, was about 3 months ago. A short time after I put the new rear tube section along with new shock absorbers it started making loud noises (banging) and vibrating very bad. When I took it apart I discovered that two of the legs of the drum support assembly had broken which also caused the front tub to be broken. The drum support assembly is not listed separately on the parts sheet. It is part of the drum cost $313 and the front tub section is $171. The rear section is about $177 and I have replaced it twice and the shock absorbers once at $57. So the scrap man got the washer and I got a new one, this time a top load. I wouldnt buy a front load washer again. As best I can tell they are all of similar design. Kenmore doesnt make anything. They have someone else make them and put the Kenmore logo on them. Not sure but this washer might be made by Samsung for Kenmore. I would not recommend buying this washer or any front load washer.

Love that it detects if my clothes have been washed or not. It washes well and it helps families find it easier for clothes to be washed over and over again. Love the aftereffects that uses for my position and everything it offers for me and my family. I can use it over again and it wishes well to the point that I love to wash clothes.

Purchased top load washing machine (Kenmore Elite Washing Machine) with glass top lid Oct 30, 2018. Exploded April 6... then again one week after it was fixed... April 25... Still waiting on a replacement 2 weeks later. Sears warranty tell us they never heard of this, judging by item being back ordered and multiple other reviews I’ve read THIS IS A PROBLEM!!! BUYER BEWARE! MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!!!

My Kenmore washing machine does an excellent job. It is quiet and very easy to use. My clothes are always clean and I do not require as much soap as the other machines I have had in the past. Although my washing machine is a top loader and I have been told front loaders are better, I have used them in the past and I find the machine I have now is just as good or better than the front loading machines I have used in the past.

This washer is quiet and very easy to clean. It works very well for a large family who does at least 8 loads of laundry per week. This works well for a family with multiple children who are getting into some type of mess. Handles large loads easily. No vibrations are present. Very affordable.

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.

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.

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.

I bought this washer 6 years ago. It has worked just fine until about 6 months ago. Suddenly, it started taking longer and longer to finish the cycle. Then, occasionally, it wouldnt spin the clothes and I would have to run the separate drain and spin cycle. Then, it suddenly wouldnt even do that. I called Sears. My intention was to find out what it would cost (because it was out of warranty) to replace the brain, including the labor and repair call. Instead of giving me the quote I asked for, she convinced me to buy a 1-year service policy for somewhere around $350.00 explaining that if it was the brain, it would be considerably more than that. Then, came the clincher. If they couldnt repair it, I would be given a voucher toward a new machine. Sign me up! Guess what? Not. They came out and put in a new brain (this took a total of 4 weeks), then 2 weeks later it started the whole cycle again, only quickly this time moving into not spinning at all. I called for another repair order. They couldnt get me in for another week and a half. In the meantime, I kept working with the washer trying different cycles and stuff until I got it working again. Guess what? Now, since it wont malfunction in front of them, they have deemed it my fault! According to them, its because Im running unbalanced loads and using too much soap! After 6 years of successfully using this machine, apparently, Ive lost my mind! I am so frustrated I could spit! So, my solution is that I will call them each and every time it fails, and make them come out until my 1 year is up. Then, I will buy a new machine and it will not be from Sears! Im closing my account with them and after 30 years of being a customer, Im done!

Purchased Kenmore from Sears Appliance Store 2 years ago. 1 week after the normal warranty ended it stopped working. I had purchased an extended warranty. So they diagnosed and ordered a replacement gear box. A week and half later they came and installed it. It was a remanufactured gear box. Immediately it smelled awful, a horrible industrial grease smell. Within a week it was making a horrible noise. We stopped using it and went out and bought a far superior brand, because I had it with Sears and Kenmore. When the old washer was removed, there was oil all over the floor underneath it. So the remanufactured gear box was total garbage, leaking oil from day one. Poor quality doesnt even begin to describe the washer or the replacement parts. No wonder Sears is looking at selling the Kenmore brand. Its worthless.

I want consumers to know that this washer is not worth the money. Mine has been an issue after the first two years of ownership. The washer smells awful even when cleaned weekly as recommended. The seal is moldy even though we always leave the door open. The washer is a maintenance nightmare. It does clean my clothes but I usually have to run the load twice because it stops with an F-20 code. I am just looking for a washer that will clean and last 20 years like my last one. Neither Kenmore nor Sears is my first choice anymore.

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.

It has a great speed and wash cycle very quiet. It does not shake at all. It is very easy to use. I even let my mother use my washer and she loves it. My mother-in-law also comes and tries it out, and now she is going to buy her one because it is easy to open the door and load the washer. It washes the clothes really well. Great and clean easy to put the detergent in the slot. It’s got plenty of room for the clothes to spin and wash. Easy to manage, easy for people to use.

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

This model was the best one Sears had under the Kenmore label. It has a matching dryer which I also purchased. It is one of the newer low water washers which took some getting used to. Over time I have learned a lot in regard to what and what not to do in order to operate this machine as a high efficiency washer. When I mastered a few of the "mystery tricks" then this seemingly "monster washer" became my friendly servant. I learned by the various "wish-wash" sounds when the wash cycle needed a bit more water, and by redistributing the clothes up around the sides of the rim, more water would be added by the machine. Also, though it is a super heavy-duty washer, I've learned not to load it too full or it will keep going back to the rinse cycle (over and over) and never go forward to spin.

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.

I bought a new Kenmore washer two months ago and I have never been so aggravated with a washer in all my life. My clothes are not being cleaned and there is never enough water to rinse them. I have to wait 40 minutes for the load to wash them and then re-rinse them on the rinse cycle. I am asking how this can save me time and money? I had a plain Kenmore washer (no bells and whistles) that lasted me 18 years and finally quit. How I would love to have it back. This new washer will never be the washer my old one was. I am planning to contact the dealer and return it. Too bad I did not read all the bad reviews before I purchased this machine. I would like to know why we, the consumers, have to throw away hard-earned money for products that do not work? I will not ever purchase another Kenmore washer.

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

The washers performance I would have to say is one of the best that I have seen before. Presoaks pre-rinse, the cycles lasts long enough that I know without a doubt everything is getting good and agitated and that my clothes are definitely coming out clean. Plus this washer also has a self cleaning cycle so that I dont have to figure out how to clean it myself, it does it for me. Plus there is gentle cycle, permanent cycle, heavily soiled, small, medium, large and oversized weights for whatever size you are loading into the machine. Since no pur based the machine 2 to 3 three years ago I have yet to have a single issue with it. No matter how much has been shoved into its never gotten off balance, never slung the laundry all to one side. It has kept it evenly distributed through the inside of the tub itself. And though it is self cleaning none not once has a single line that is attached to the machine has never gotten clogged up. I like the fact that its white, can be a hassle to keep cleaned but if properly taken care of very pretty. And will remain that way if properly maintained. But my favorite feature is that it has a clear glass, self locking lid that can be seen through. So instead of wondering if its actually doing what its supposed to do like with the older ones with a solid a lid you can just look down into and seen that it is working just fine.

Model 110.27102310. Serial C34130259 - The washer finishes the cycle and the clothes are barely wet. Oftentimes I have to do it over again wasting water, time and detergent. If the load is uneven during the spin cycle, the washer hit its wall very, very loud but does not show or have any indication where and how to balance the load (more to the left? or more to the right?). Its HIT AND MISS - I keep trying to balance it over and over with a guess. It is so frustrating!

It works great, dont make loud noise. It fits very well into the kitchen and beeps when it stops. When I first saw it I knew it would be a good washer for me. Doesnt have to pack a lot of clothes in the wash to wash my clothes. I can even put 3 or 4 comforter in the washer and clean my clothes. I can use gain washing machine and bounce to dry my clothes and leave a great smell in the clothes. I set up the dial according to the load of clothes that Im going to wash. Good for washing my clothes and leave the clothes clean and dont have to worry about washing. I wash about 7 to 8 load a week.

Very reliable and dependable. Heavy duty. Could hold large loads of clothes/towels. I believe mine lasted for about 15 years. I do not believe I ever had any mechanical problems with either machine. Only got new machines when I moved to a new house. Actually sold the pair used in a garage sale.

This washer always stops after wash instead of going through the entire wash, rinse, spin cycle. Most of the clothes arent even wet after the wash part of the cycle, let alone clean. Worst washer EVER!

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

My new washer broke after about 2 months and took another 2 months to repair due to lousy repairman and Sears warranty being worthless. I do not recommend any of their products. It took 3 attempts to find out the entire interior washer basin needed to be replaced. Now working fine but my gripe is even with warranty protection there were not enough certified repair people and it got farmed out to a repair company that was substandard.

I purchased a Kenmore He Washer, stainless steel drum, in 2019. Can I say I hate this washer? Because I do. I have always purchase appliances from Sears and have been pleased. Because of just a few months with this washer, I will never purchase another appliance, of any type, from Sears again. The washer does not fill with any temperature other than extra hot and cold. Washing on extra hot adds one hour to the wash time. Setting the temp to warm or hot yields cold water only. The service tech, sent by Sears, was rude, incompetent and clueless. Couldnt fix anything regarding the temps. Clothes come out ridiculously wrinkled, no matter the water temp or spin level. I have never had to iron clothes with any previous washers. This is a junk machine. Dont buy any He washers from Sears. TERRIBLE!!!!

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

I feel as though it is a good washing machine. My clothes come out of it fresh and clean. And the washing machine it easy to keep clean, thats good. It seems to be very reliable. I can wash a lot of my clothes at one time. In a shorter amount of time. And it does not make a lot of noise. It has a very nice look to it. It looks new and very professional. It is just the right size. Not too big not too small. Just the size desired. It is a very worthful piece of equipment. I did not have to pay a really large amount when I purchased it. And it gets everything that I want done.

This product value worths its price, it is easier and faster, no more stress of doing dirty job yourself and if you are tired of stressing yourself go for it. You wont make any regret purchasing the product. It is durable and it works faster than many healthy men can do and this will save your time, money and energy. The washer is beautiful and unique, and eye catching. It has enough space to clean and dry your clothes, no stain and no destruction of your cloth and it is very good. The amount you spent to get it, you are not going to regret this since you will enjoy the product more than what you pay to acquired the product.

The performance of the washer is really good. You will love how fast and easy it is to use. Probably the first time you will struggle with the bottoms but then you will love it. The reliability of the product makes you want to buy it, because give the consumer the security that is a really good product to acquire. It is really nice. It has an appearance different than the other brands. It is a modern style but can fit any house or apartment so probably you will like it at the first view. There are many washer that you can view on internet or at stores, but if you are looking for something cheap and with a good value for the price, this is the washer you are looking for.

I think it is great. I never have any problems with it. It is a great power machine. It never fails and I always have warm dry clothes when I want them. I want to share that this machine is the best and I want to go and do things and I cant and I want to see things that I cant. Theyre the best that you can get and I want to see more about these and do more for them and help them become the best they can be. I think they have enough space and the value is unreal. You wont have to replace them forever and I love them.

I have had no issue with the washer. It works well, no complaints. Just have to make sure that you do not overload the machine and more than it needs to be. This machine will get the job done no matter what it is. This is the one for you. Id recommend anyone to go out and pick this unit up as soon as possible. The overall look is good. It is white but looks cream at certain angles. It is easy on the eyes. It’s not too big and not too small. The overall value was worth the money. Has not given me issues and it works well to this very day.

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.

I have this Kenmore 500 Series washing machine. I wash tons of clothes all the time. Ive even switch to washing small loads. My clothes are never clean. They come out, they smell bad, the towels stink all the time because they cant agitate and wash. The water just runs through them and comes back out. It doesnt move the clothes and no theres nothing wrong with my washing machine. Its not broken. It just sucks. Dont buy this product. I think you guys should recall these washing machines.

Its a great machine. I really think it runs good and is one of the best machines Ive owned. I would tell my friends and family about it. Id get another if I need to buy one. Runs and washes great. I really like the way it works and runs. Very stylish. I like the way it looks and the way its made. I like the color of it. I find it very nice. It was a fair price for the brand. I think I got a fairly good deal. I would buy another if this one messed up and I would tell my friends about it.

Clothes are cleaner. They take less time. They use less detergent than other washing machines. I actually look forward to washing clothes now. Economic on water use and energy efficient, quick, stable, cleans well with good array of different cycles, easy to use, load and unload. Ergonomic design fits well with normal counter heights. Durable with ability to handle recurring and high-frequency heavy loads. No maintenance or repair issues since owned. Reliable timer devices and release of additive like fabric softener.Clean lines and ergonomic design, with color choices, that integrate with laundry room design. Dials and doors are placed in convenient locations and add to look of appliance. Price was higher than some competitors model of similar in function and level in line. Cost higher than lower line machines. Reliability and durability balances cost for a good value for cost. They do cost a bit more than others but for the quality of the washer it is well worth the price. I didnt mind paying a little extra once seen how it performs.

I have owned this washer for 10 years and it has been reliable and easy to use. No bells and whistles just exactly the right features. Extra large tub washes big loads with ease. Very reliable, has lasted many years and washes consistently.. Lid switch broke and it was easy to replace with a new part from Sears. It was like $6 part and 10 minutes of work. Clean, white, easy to read knobs stands up to wear and tear easily. Nothing fancy or stylish but exactly what you expect from a washing machine. Cost effective to purchase and operate. It has lasted many years and still running great. The cost of this washer was low in comparison to fancier models.

The Kenmore washer has the old school, classy, traditional look that is durable and lasting to meet the expectations of the current and more modern trends in the market. It is a high quality appliance worth every bang for your buck for its affordability and convenience of a high performance clothing washer to take care of household laundry. It washes clothes effectively and rinses clothes properly with no issues, leaving the clothes clean and detergent free so no need to worry about your dirty loads and any unpleasant scent.

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.

My Kenmore has ran flawlessly for 10 years. Washes clothes clean each and every time. Little or no noises, or rocking. Has multiple setting for all types of clothes, including easy and delicate clothes.

You have to babysit this machine. It is frequently out of balance! It took me 4 hrs to do 2 loads of wash. The volume of clothes it handles is great, but it does not seem to clean well. Likely, the big problem is too many bells and whistles. Give me a big machine with simple electronics, or better yet how about the old agitators which may not have held as much, but cleaned the clothes and had hardly any problems.

Its pretty basic if youre just normal level for cash. It gets the job done but could do better than I say sometimes. But its good enough for what I have paid for. It could last for an estimate of 5 years but dont take it from me. It just depends on how good you take care of the washer, since thats what I own. The appearance is pretty good for what I paid for. Better than those old-looking ones back in the day so its not as bad. My mother wasnt a fan but I sure was. Probably didnt care that much since I was young. But I do have standards. I had to get it looked at a few times before but now it runs pretty good.

Overall excellent product. Very quiet and cost efficient. Always washes great, energy efficient. Huge loads can be done. Highly recommend buying this product. Very, very reliable. Never not worked properly. Always cleans very effective. Great warranty so nothing to worry about. Highest recommendation. Clean, smooth, good looking. Nice size. Fits very nicely in modern home. Several options on color choice. Good price for the quality you are getting. Very competitive pricing. Definitely worth the money.

I used the washer for many years. It functioned well and I typically washed about three loads a day. It was easy to use and my favorite part is that it held heavy duty large loads well and had no problems.

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

They both worked really well and could handle all the items that I would need to clean like curtains, rugs and quilts. They both performed as expected when I had them. There are many times that I would need to wash my rugs but if they had rubber backs I could wash but not dry and if the rubber was coming off then I could not wash them at all. I like to change out my bed often and would also change out the quilts that were on my bed at that time also. My boys were hard on clothes and would seem to find all the dirt that was out there and the washer did a great job keeping those clothes clean.

Kenmore Elite Oasis HT Model 11028081700 - I have had to replace the bearings once and it needs them replaced again. It sounds like the washing machine wants to take off like an airplane. Of course, the warranty and extended warranty have expired. Now the clothes dont get as clean and sometimes the rinse cycle leaves the clothes full of soap suds. I always thought Kenmore was a solid product but I will likely never buy another one.

The washer looks like a typical model: white, top-loading, knobs located on the top panel. Nothing really special overall in the design aspect. But for what I need the washer to do, it works very well. Up to this point, I havent had to have any maintenance on the washer, even after 5 years of use. For people who dont need anything fancy, this model will be a great choice. I can fill quite a large load of laundry and not have any issues with agitation or something not coming out clean. I consistently wash large items, such as towels and sheets, and every item comes out clean. Washer times are fairly short compared to other washers Ive had in the past and the machine is fairly quiet overall when Im on the same floor. But when Im downstairs I can sometimes hear it.

It seems the best Kenmores are the older ones. I was going to buy an newer one but heard from the service man that the older style I have is one of the best made. Non computer version. I guess like an old hot rod it runs best, if an EMP hits an older car and washing machine still works!

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.

Kenmore Laundry Center Model 417-61712510: Purchased this lemon last year with extended warranty. It has worked less than it has not worked and Ive had numerous technicians sent out and paid for an electrician to verify it is not my electrical. The machine starts and stops and locks my clothes inside in water and detergent. No amount of resetting breakers can get it to work, but I sense there is an internal reset because whenever the tech comes out he opens the metal flap to gain access and does something and then resets the breakers and it works again. It may work for one wash and then acts up and stops again. It will beep within 5 minutes of starting unit. This has been going on since 12/2016, approximately six months after purchase to this date of 8/4/2017. So here I am waiting two weeks for a repairman to come and unlock it while my clothes are in the machine. This has been a nightmare. The amount of service calls has been mind blowing. Always an explanation why it cannot be replaced... read your fine print. Ive spent more time this year doing my laundry at a laundromat than at home. This unit was purchased May 26, 2016 with extended warranty. Hope no one else will purchase this unit.

This model is my first front loader washing machine. I had heard of many problems with these but have only encountered one - if I dont religiously wipe the door inside and leave it open for a few hours, it develops a nasty sour smell. Otherwise, it does a good job of cleaning my clothes and uses a whole lot less water. I am still evaluating this machine but so far, so good.

I need more than 8 inches of water & that is the deep fill. Sheets often are partly dry, because they dont get under the water. I have the 600s washer. Thought I could do larger loads. Sorry folks you cant. No water saver here, a second rinse is always necessary & sometimes a third. You guessed it. No water!

I have been a Kenmore user since I started buying appliances. I have never been disappointed, and so I keep coming back. This low efficiency washer is awful. Hardly adds any water at all; its washboard does its best to destroy and rip up your clothes (I have pictures if anyone doubts me); this cycle is so long that you cannot do more that one load of washing in one night. Laundry used to be fun for me. And BTW, clothes are still not clean.

Ive had my Kenmore for more than 15 years and it still works great! Ive never had any issues with it and I would have highly recommend this washer to my friends and family. I can always count on my Kenmore washer to work for me. It has never let me down. My Kenmore washer has a nice and basic appearance. Its value is top notch!

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.

My Kenmore washer is very good. I wash up to 3 loads a day. Im very happy with my purchase. It cleans my clothes and Ive not had any problems. My washer is very reliable. From large, medium and small loads. Its the best washer that Ive owned. I would highly recommend this washer. Appearance of washer is very good. The settings are very easy to set. Overall it goes well with my appliances. Its a very nice washing machine. The value of my washing machine was very good. If you are looking for a washing machine to get the job done without being expensive get one.

My Sears Kenmore Elite washer will not get out stains. To be fair the unit is out of warranty but is only a year and a half old. Because of health issues, I didnt start getting clothes dirty until this spring. It will not remove simple stains like dirt and when I started started to smell some clothes, they didnt smell clean coming right out of the machine. For example my socks smelled as bad coming out of the wash as they did going in. I would think it would be unsanitary to wear clothes that are not clean. When I purchased the the set online in September 2012, they were giving it a 5 star rating. I looked at past models and they only showed 3 stars but this was a new model and I assumed improvements had been made. Looking online today, Consumer Reports gives it a 53 rating out of 100 and others rate it 3.2 out of 10 and even Sears rates it low and the biggest complaint was that it didnt get out stains or get clothes clean in general. I first called the 800 number Customer Service number in the book and the person that I spoke too suggested that I try to purchase an extended warranty then break the machine on purpose and see if they replace it. As bad as this sounds I do think she was trying to help knowing they would not do anything with it being out of warranty. Then I called Sears the first thing that they said is that is was a LG machine, and the second thing was that it was out of warranty and they would do nothing to help me. I then called customer service who said the same until I told them I would cancel my Sears Card. At that point, I was transferred to Customer Retention who eventually decided to send a technician to my house and some negotiation waved the service charge. I did ask him to speak with the service technician on the phone before he made the appointment because I thought he would be wasting him time after reading all the online information that says it just doesnt clean. The conversation didnt happen and the next morning about 8:45, the service technician called and asked me what was wrong with the washer. I told him it didnt get clothes clean. Then he started to say that I needed special laundry soap and that I shouldnt use fabric softener. Anyhow he declined to come because like me, I thought the machine was working as designed but wouldnt get all clothes clean. He eventually told me thank and added it was because the washer didnt use enough water to clean clothes. I called Sears later and told them what had happened and they would not help me and that case # ** would be closed. I did at that point close my Sears account. I did call Sears again to get an address to send information from Small Claims Court. I then decided to send an email to LG to see if they might help since it is manufactured by them and it is their design. The very first thing they said was that it was a Kenmore and that it was a Sears. I sent them back a reply asking them several questions including who did the design, hold the pattern, and the drawings. I didnt receive a response. I did call an 800 number and talk to someone who did give me an address so that the court could get them information. So I am looking into taking both companies to Small Claims Court together so that a Judge may decide who should lose $1029 for a product that doesnt clean.

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.

I purchased my Kenmore Heavy-Duty washer and dryer set the next week available after I got married in Feb 1976 (seventy-six). That makes it about mid-March 1976. Here now in Jan 2020 I can truthfully say that I never had one speck of trouble from the set until now when the washer stopped draining. Having a Sears repairman respond to fix the problem revealed that it cannot be repaired. I must now try to find another Kenmore Washer. Admittedly, I did not use it on any routine regularity and once not used at all when in an apartment without a hookup for a couple years. But, I suspect I won't need it to last as many as 44 more years since I'm now 73 years old. It worked just great for me!
