Kenmore Washers
The washer works as advertised. I do 10-12 loads per week, and it handles the load well. The only issue is sometimes when washing blankets, the load gets shifted and becomes uneven so we have to stop the wash and shift the load. Ive had this washer for 2+ years, and it is very reliable. Its sleek and doesnt take up a lot of space, which is important because my laundry area in my apartment is rather small. It is easy to clean as well. I didnt buy the washer (it came with my apartment), but it has handled the workload admirably. I have had no problems with it or its work in the time Ive lived here, so its a great value for the money.
Its easy to operate. Ive had it for 2 years not once have I had a problem with it. I able to do laundry at night because its quiet. It makes my clothes look brand new. Its very reliable when it comes to getting my Kids clothes clean. It works amazing for those hard to remove stains. It can hold a substantial amount of laundry. It helps when I have busy days, because I can get so much laundry done in no time. I love the color and everything is so organized and makes it easy to operate. I would highly recommend this to anyone, because it gets the job done and removes the toughest stains. It never lets me down. I can honestly say you get what you pay for. It may seem a little pricey but they work with you with your payments. It saves you a lot of time if youre a busy person. Its worth it.
Kenmore #61722, 27 laundry center - I needed a stackset to conserve space. My local Sears employee did not recommend buying one. Later, I was where I could read reviews. I did not want buttons at the top. I am 52. I like the stainless steel and size of this tub. I had reservations about a water sensor and reviews of the stacksets being noisy. I now have had this model 5 months. I sometimes need to push refresh to make sure clothes are dry. I can turn off the chime. I wish it had the option just to spin. My roommate says the express was sometimes needs to spin longer but I have not had that problem. NOT noisy. My electric bill has gone down!
This washer has never given me any issues and is very easy to use. It is standard size and capacity and the standard color white. I have had this washer for many years and will buy Kenmore appliances in the future. This washer has always worked as expected and never given me any major issues. I have had to on occasion replace a belt or what not but have not had any major issues with this appliance. It looks like every other washer that I have ever owned. Kenmore offers a good value as you get a high quality name brand product for a value price. The service at sears where you purchase it is also typically very good.
My Kenmore washer has been 100% reliable since I bought it, no warranty issues, no failures, at all. It will be 18 years old in August 2020. I am getting a little bit of surface rust underneath the bleach dispenser, but I will clean up and repaint the tiny rust spot this summer. I cant vouch for the new models, but mine has been perfect.
We have bought Kenmore products for years. Never had any problems. We bought the Kenmore Elite washing machine in March 2013. It is in our attached garage. It is rusting around the bleach dispenser - something terrible. After reading reviews, it seems that this has been a problem for several years now and it seems that it hasnt been resolved. After only 2 yrs. 7 months of use, I wouldnt think the washer should be rusting. Im not sure I will be buying a Kenmore again.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
I have a Kenmore Elite Oasis HT 28081 Washer. This washer broke down after one year and Sears will not take responsibility of fixing it. Our family has used Kenmore products for many decades, shame on Sears I will never trust their product again. It cost me $933 for this washer, which is supposed to be one of the best and efficient washer and an energy saver. I would like Sears to refund me.
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.
The washer does well. It has a nice capacity load and is a lot quieter than older models. You just have to make sure the lid is closed securely. I like the washer but had to replace the circuit board after just two years of washing, just hope this isnt a constant issue with it. If it is it might be cheaper to replace the washer. The washer is sleek. It fits well in any space you choose to place it. It really is stylish looking it is really different looking from older washers and others looking at it like it. As I bought the washer new I certainly did not expect to have problems with it after just two years of washing with it. I hope this problem doesnt persist.
We purchased the 500 series washer a little over 2 years ago, and have regretted it ever since. If I do anything bigger than a half load it becomes unbalanced and sounds like a helicopter landing in my house. When you pause to rebalance it takes a full ten minutes for the lid to open. I’ll never buy a Kenmore again...
The appearance looks very modern and good-looking as well inside. The value of the machine had me thinking for a little bit if I should buy it. However, I did, and it went out much better than expected. If you are deciding to buy this, you might as well. Not going to lie, I had some doubts about using this. But, I am very happy I spent my money on this washer as it helped a lot when it came to dirty or stained clothing. It was usually very good. Very well money spent indeed. I hope I shall continue using it as it is very important for cleaning my clothing.
My washer worked fine before the recall. It took 4 months for the technician to come out and he changed the panel, which I told him worked fine and please save it for me, just in case (we live in a small town). Well sure enough, it hasnt worked properly and keeps giving me an unbalanced load error code. It keeps filling with water and draining, 2.5 hours the first time before I stopped it and put it on Drain and Spin and continually have to monitor it with every wash. Yesterday, I put it on the recommended Clean cycle with just a cup of bleach and it ran 5.5 hours, until 10:30 pm, still with the unbalanced error code, no clothes,etc. until I finally just turned it off. The tech who called and said he would be out last week never showed up or called. I am going to call the national Sears customer service (1-800-549-4505) line again and complain, not much hope for help with this problem though. Is there a class action case?
It could be a bit larger but it dries the clothes in a good amount of time with few issues. Goes well with our washer. No major problems. No major issues, does the job with out any problems. I would recommend it to others. Works well with the washer without need for major repairs. It actually has a plain appearance. We didnt buy it to show off but to dry the clothes which it does very well. No problems with how it looks. It was a very good price and since it does a very good job of drying the clothes, we believe that it is a very good value. No issue with the cost.
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.
I purchased this washer based on Consumer Reports and other recommendations. I have had nothing but problems with this washer. Been a little over a year since new and had Sears techs out 3 times. Water leaks out of the overflow valve on the back and floods the floor. Tech says to use low suds detergent which I do. We cannot wash more than 4 towels at a time. Must use a minimal amount of detergent. Can hardly use any detergent when washing sheets and blankets as it goes out the overflow valve onto the floor. Sears tech says its the way the machine is made. Im ready to dump this washer and get something else which is a shame as I have all Kenmore appliances and have always bought Kenmore for the past 40 years. Sears needs to do something about the design of this washer.
My wife and I purchased a Sears Kenmore Elite Washer and Dryer in May 2012. We have found rust on the face and on the hinges. The service staff changed some parts at a cost of $350. The rust was not removed nor could we get a reassurance that the rust would be abated. We found that LG manufactured this machine and we are in the process of filing a complaint with LG. I think Sears needs to be responsible since it is their name on the product. Anyone else have any problems?
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.
This is a tough machine, handles large heavily soiled loads. It has never given us any problems at all. Were outside a lot, play and work hard, so we need deep, thorough cleaning - and this machine gives us that. It consistently handles large loads of dirty towels, deeply soiled jeans and a car mechanics greasy overalls, leaves them smelling and looking like new. It always delivers. It has a simple, clean look, goes with any decor. Ours is kind of out in our kitchen area; we dont have a separate room for it, and it blends right in. We have definitely gotten more than our moneys worth with this washing machine already, and it just keeps going. Its been problem free and so worth the cost.
It is a great, long lasting, and dependable machine from Kenmore and I would buy another in a heartbeat. I would highly recommend this product. It is really reliable. I have had no issues at all. I would recommend the product to anyone that needs a washer. It is a great looking appliance and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great washing machine. I look forward to the opportunity to own another one in the near future. It is a great value. It is a great machine for a really low price. I love my Kenmore washer.
The washer does the job well and gets clothes clean but I wish that I had a larger washer. I have a large family and the load size is fairly large most of the time, so I very frequently have to do multiple loads of laundry to get all of it done. But other than the size of the washer capacity, I am very pleased with it. It is just the ordinary plain, white washer. Nothing in particular that is fancy or special about it. It also is in a laundry room, so it isnt out in the open where it is always seen by others. But for the job it does, it was a great bargain and has been well worth the money that was spent for it. It was a very reasonable price because I chose just a basic model.
It is a Kenmore Elite style. Washes worse than a cheap hotel device. Leaves junk on clothes and squeezes the clothes to the point of permanent wrinkles. Other Kenmore have been fine. Not sure what is wrong with this one. It has happened since day one. Called store and no resolution.
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.
I really love my washer because it isnt loud and disruptive while I am doing other chores or trying to focus on a specific task. Especially when you have small children napping a few rooms over, this is important. I have had no issues with this washer. It cleans my clothes perfectly and I never have to worry that the laundry wont get done due to malfunctions in this model. Its sleek and shiny, this washer is easy to take care of and needs very little cleaning to make it stay that way. I would definitely recommend. It was better than my last machine and I am so very happy with it.
Elite - Difficult to retrieve clothes from the bottom of the washer. I had to build a special platform for my wife to retrieve the clothes from the washer! The units were very expensive, but I would like to assume this would infer a level of quality. They seem to work well, although somewhat odd from what we were used to before.
I am getting clean clothes, no tears or wears from machine, great job and not much of a noise. Dryer works nice too, but I do not use it much - prefer natural drying outside. It never gave me any trouble, really reliable and ready to go when I need it. Never malfunction or broke. I would really recommend it and I am happy to have it. It is old fashion and all white, but nobody see it except me because it is in separate room. And I do not care much about appearance as long as it works. By now it cost me practically nothing and still working great, so I am happy with value. It is one of those products that were build like do not do anymore.
My washer has been very durable however the renewal of the warranty is not affordable. I love the washer chosen because of being old fashioned. It has the agitator inside. The control panel is also very easy and understandable.
I had this washer for about 15 years. It stopped spinning the clothes dry. Instead of spending money for repair, I decided I would just buy another washer. Unbelievable that the washer lasted 15 years. (I use my appliances as directed in instruction manuals and I never allowed my husband to touch my appliances.)
I really like both of the machines. I feel like they do a good job washing and drying. Never had to reload clothes because they were not done properly. Also never experienced any breakage with clothes.
Where I pour in the bleach and under the top lip of washing machine is rusting! I run my washer through cleaning cycling but these areas are bad and I feel like it should not be doing this, especially so soon! I would figure they would make it more adaptable for the bleach area! We bought our washer from Sears in Statesboro, GA!
It was fine, got stains out but I wasnt overly impressed. The unit was also very loud during the spin cycle. The unit seemed to be big enough for weekly washing for my husband and I but I had to break up the loads if my daughters clothes were included. The controls were very easy to read and set, no fancy extra or unneeded options. I liked that it was straightforward and didnt have settings that I would never use, just to appear higher quality. The unit looked fine and did the job it was asked to so I guess it was a good value for the money, although I wouldnt say it was superb quality. You get what you pay for and I was satisfied with the purchase.
For years I always used Kenmore appliances. Several years ago I needed a new washer and strayed from Kenmore after listening to a friend who had purchased another brand. I listened and purchased that washer and had nothing but trouble with it. I got rid of it and went back to my preferred Kenmore washer. Im still using it.
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 love how the washer is not loud and that it is very fast washing my clothes. I love the style and how it look and how it fit right in with my house. Meets all my needs. I wash all my clothes with cold water but I love how clean my clothes comes out and fast it take to wash them. I love all the different power setting. Have a very nice look and style to it. Makes my home feel like an home. Very nice in details. I love a white clean look like I have. And its very nice and dont take up too much room. Have good value and very quiet so you will not hear nothing. So if you want to watch tv in your living room you can and dont feel like you hearing your washer over anything.
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.
Purchased $779 Kenmore Elite Washer model #29272000 in April 2011. In April 2013 sent a letter directly to Sears to complain about the rust all around the bleach dispenser. Did not receive any response. Now, a year later, the rust is far worse. I know from reading online comments, this has been a problem for years and Sears didnt figure out how to stop it and continued to sell this faulty product. The problems with this machine do not end with the rust. We suffer daily with the brutal wash cycle that ruins clothes, does not wash jeans and blankets without the UE error requiring constant adjustment to get the loads done, and bleach residue dispensing when you dont want it to so darks are spotted with white spots.It is bothersome that this expensive appliance is such a sad example of Kenmore and the fact that even though they knew it was a mess, it still was sold for years without correcting any of the problems. I was a faithful Sears consumer and yet now have no interest in a future dealing with them. I want a washer that doesnt harm my clothes AND isnt rusting after only a few years.
The performance is great. They made this washer with the best and top quality in mind. There are so many different settings to choose from and they perform great. This washer is super reliable. It can literally fit a ton of clothes, or even my whole comforter and all the bed sheets together. Its such a great washing machine. The appearance is absolutely wonderful. It looks sleek and shiny and so up to date with the trends today. Its modern and has great technology. I just love this washing machine so much. The value isnt bad at all for this washing machine. You honestly get what you pay for. Its not priced bad at all. But you definitely will be happy with it.
Kenmore front-loader washer model 41262 - It uses a lot less water than our old washer which dumped in about 5 gallons of water whereas this washer doesnt operate in a pond of water but merely moistens the clothes as it tumbles them. Wash quality is excellent. Its as quiet as a sewing machine almost. Huge front door makes it easy to wash small rugs. Sears had it on sale for about $550 and that felt good. Stainless tub that wont rust my clothes. High speed spin gets things almost dry right there in the washer.
Theres nothing fancy about the appearance but I didnt buy it for display in the living room. Its a perfect fit for a laundry room and thats whats important. Its been a very reliable washer. Ive had it for over a decade now and have had no repair expenses. Also, the laundry is always clean and well rinsed. Ive definitely gotten my moneys worth out of it. What more could one ask!
It always works perfect. It may not be very big, but it always does the job. I feel safe using this washer. It has had no problem whatsoever since I bought it. This washer is very reliable. It fits most of my loads and washes them properly. I like how it looks. It is modern, yet traditional. It doesnt look fancy but it looks like a good appliance. I like the color and the size. The price of this appliance is not too high, so I think it is good value for the money.
Excellent washing machine. Many features with plenty of cycles. Had it for 11 years and have has no trouble. Never been serviced. Its an e machine which saves water and power. If it broke down today, I would buy another.
Good quality, clean, efficient, hardworking product. Time tested and approved. Ive gotten many, many loads of laundry clean and fresh with this washer. This washer has been very reliable through many tough dirty jobs. Id recommend it for anyone looking for good, clean quality for great value and price. This washer is typical in looks but the value and quality more than makes up for aesthetics lacking, just buy it and see people... youll get clean value at a great price. You save time on presoaks plus its less expensive than others that seem to have the same value. It lives up to the value and more.
We’ve had to replace the same part (hub) 5 times within the last 3 years. It will not spin the clothes. Do not buy this washer. It is junk. Our second washing machine is many years old and we never have to repair it. This is going in the garbage.
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.
I purchased the Kenmore Elite washer June 9th, 2011... Model 79629272900. It cost approximately 1,100. I was very satisfied at first because of its large capacity size. Then I was soon to notice it doesnt clean clothes properly. The simplest stains dont come out. The main reason for my complaint is that a washer a few years old shouldnt have rust anywhere... It has rusted at the lid and all around bleach dispenser. I contacted Sears and then they give me the phone number to customers solutions. That didnt get me anywhere. I was referred back to Sears. The washer should have been recalled. I dont feel like any washer should cause your clothes to get rust all over them.
Never had a problem with this model. I enjoyed using it, and it always got the job done. Very satisfied. This model lasts a long time as well. Fits a weeks worth of laundry in one load. Never been unable to do laundry except for in power outages and thats expected to happen. Very reliable to me. Not an elegant design. Not very sleek. Looks like an average machine for a typical price. Simple and easy to clean. White matches my decor. Paid typical price for it. Didnt expect any specialty features, didnt get any. Im okay with that. Does the job I expect it to. Much laundry has been done in this machine. Worth it!
We bought the washer used and have now had it for 3 years. It is very dependable and it dries large loads of laundry, like my king sized bedding sets with no problems at all. It has a few surface scratches from the last owners, but that does not affect its performance at all. Im happy with it and we have definitely gotten our moneys worth out of it. I would not hesitate to buy another one tomorrow if need be and would recommend Kenmore Washers to anyone.
We purchased in Apr. 2013. Would not get item clean. Would not even get all items wet. Called for service. Waited 3 weeks to get a tech to the house. Sears shipped wrong control board. Tech put shipped board in washer. He said it would work until they sent the correct control board. Waited 2 months, no new board. Called Sears and they stated, The board was still on back order and did not know when it would be available. I asked for a replacement. Replacement was delivered. Machine did the same thing as the first machine. Call back and asked for a replacement with a different model. Replacement was $1500.00 cheaper than the original set. (Oh, btw it is now Oct. 2013) Sears will not refund us the difference. The problem was with your product. Shame on you Sears!!!!! I will never purchase from Sears again.
I bought a front loading Kenmore model 40412 in Sept 2010 for $736. This is March 2012. Spin cycle makes noise as loud as an airplane and clothes come out stained with grease. Service tech just estimated over $1,100 to replace tub bearing and door seal. How does that make any sense or is justifiable? No more Sears/Kenmore for us!
I bought this washer in 2005 at a Sears outlet store. Now keep in mind I live alone so I dont do a lot of laundry, much below the average family, yet here I am 10 years later and somehow this thing is now not cycling through a wash load. Way to go Kenmore -- 10 years, thats it. Now I got to pay for a repair or buy ANOTHER one. Before I had this wash I had an old Kenmore washer that was 25 YEARS OLD and not one issue. I can tell you this, never again will I buy your crap. This is disgraceful and you can bet I will also pass my displeasure with Kenmore on social media every chance I get.
Gets my clothes clean without damaging them, no matter what the fabric type. It can wash my delicates as well as jeans and sheets. I dont know what I would do without it. Always works when I need it, and never lets me down. It doesnt require a lot of laundry soap. Any brand will work and its very efficient. That helps stretch the amount of soap I have to buy. Very clean and ergonomic design. Looks modern without sacrificing any of the performance. Its a bit of a workhorse, and can handle heavy loads while still looking stylish. Makes laundry less stressful. I can put in a load and even if I forget it, I dont have to run it again, wasting water and soap. Saves me money and time.
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 am completely dissatisfied with this machine. It tangles and twists my clothes even on the delicate cycle. It does not clean our underwear. I have terrible yellow stains on my towels, and it does not clean the makeup off of my washcloths. I have to constantly reset it if washing towels or bed clothes. I have also noticed rust around the edges of my bleach fill. The softener does not empty correctly. I have no positive comments. This machine cost a small fortune, and I am ready to throw it down a hill! I had a Maytag prior to this machine that worked wonderfully. Piece of junk!!
We bought this during a presidents day sale and Ive love my Kenmore front loader washer. It has not needed any repairs but with my extended warranty the service man came to check out everything for free. Its perfect!
I purchased both in 2004. Ive only had two problems, both with the washing machine. 5 years ago, the washing machine would not move after fill up. I called Sears to repair it. They came the same day, has not happened again, but I did have a different situation of the Washer not working this summer. After the wash cycle, the spin cycle wasnt working. In fact the water didnt drain. With limited funds, I looked into doing it myself. Thanks to a YouTube video, I found it to be a common problem. I knew the part I needed, and was able to get it from Amazon. I got the part, fixed the washer, following each direction on the video, and was successful in repairing my washing machine.
I bought the washer about 18 months ago. It quit working. Sears tech said main control board is defective. To me, that is a factory defect yet I had to pay 320 for extended warranty. Ive called many times, Sears just keeps throwing my calls between the reps. Ive not had a washer for a month!
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.
Have had this machine longer than I have ever owned one and I do 3 or more loads a day. Prior to this one I had 2 others and they went in a matter of 6 years. It is important to buy quality appliances.
Clothes do not stay white. There is not enough water to clean. Mold started almost immediately on the rubber lining. I was told to leave the door open after each wash! Something new and white only lasts a few weeks before it turns grey. We have a water softener so our water is pure. I have you use very little soap in this newly designed washer. The printing came off the front panel after a few months. It is not covered under warranty. I can’t wait to get rid of this machine. Alas, all washers are made the same.
I have a Kenmore Washer and it is very durable. It cleans my clothes very well. I do at least once a week or sometimes more about 7 or 8 loads of laundry not including we have 5 people in the house so the other two adults use it also. I have had no problem with any kinds of stains on my clothes from the washer. The washer is very easy to use and has codes when it is having an issue. No problems with it yet. I have owned it for a year now. If I ever have to buy another washer Kenmore will be the brand that I will buy.
I am very happy with my Kenmore washer. The top loader is an important feature in a washer, because the clothes get much cleaner with the use of an agitator. I have never had any issues (knock on wood) with my Kenmore washer. The clothing is always clean the first time through, and never any issues with the water levels. This is not the fanciest, or prettiest of washing machines... But what do you expect. It is one of the more basic models, and is very simple looking. That being said, the lack of extra knobs makes it very easy to clean. The Kenmore washer was the cheapest washer we looked at. We almost didnt get it for that reason alone. But it works great, and friends who have more expensive one have had to replace theirs and we havent. More money doesnt mean a better product.
Ive had my Kenmore washing and drying machine for more than 9 years and has worked wonders. Washes and dries my clothes very well. Leaves a clean scent. Nothing has broken down yet. Makes no noise, quite silent when in use. Very content with both.
Kenmore Model 796.4027. It is rated as best buy by Consumer Reports. However, it has a serious design flaw. The valves close much too quickly causing massive water hammer. None of our other washers had this problem. Their solution, install new anti-water hammer devices. **. This is a design flaw in these machines. Wikipedia has a very nice treatment of what causes water hammer. I also spent a good bit of time in Engineering School studying hydraulics and this is a classic case. The valve is closing much too rapidly. The solenoid that actuates the valves needs to be redesigned. It shouldnt be hard, other washer manufacturers seem to have figured it out.The service was prompt and courteous. He explained that this was a very common problem with newer washers. However, since nothing was replaced Kenmore/LG wont track this as the design flaw that it is. I suspect that the manufacturer actually knows about the issue but doesnt want to resolve it due to cost implications. What a lousy way to do business.
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.
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.
We bought a 700 series washer in September 2017. Weve had the tech out twice because it WILL NOT RINSE THE SOAP OUT OF GARMENTS. We were told to only use heavy duty or white cycles with double rinse, softner and prewash. This doesnt work either. Weve had Kenmore for 50 plus years in our household and if I could sell it with a clear conscience I would in a heartbeat! I realize Sears is having financial problems but as a minimum they should recall these machines and fix them somehow. If not I think from reading others reviews and knowing several that have the same problems with the 700 series there is bound to be a class suit considered.
This washer performed very well. At times, the rotation device in the center would come unbound, but it is an easy fix. Overall, it is cost efficient and relatively compact for our living area and Im enjoying it. I have plenty of laundry to do, and this washer can hold it all. It has never need anything but a do it yourself repair. The washer is very good at washing. I dont enjoy cubical shapes as I have an unnatural fear of them (my doctor told me). Other than the shape, the color is good and it can fit into any reasonably colored room. For all of the use I got out of it, I would say it is underpriced. It is really that good.
Kenmore top loading high efficiency washer model 110.2810 - We purchased this washing machine from Sears for $750 on 12/2/2012 and did not purchase the extended warranty. It is now less than two years old and I came home the other day to find my basement flooded because the outer drum of the machine cracked. The repair person said he could not believe what he saw with this broken part and he felt this was clearly a manufacturers defect. It will cost $600 to repair my 2 year old washing machine. I called Sears to request that they supply the part for free so that I only needed to pay for the repair itself of $300 and was told I needed to call the manufacturer Kenmore. When I called the phone number that was posted by Kenmore I was told that I needed to contact the manufacturer directly as they could not help me. I told them that I thought I did call the manufacturer and they told me that I called Sears. I told them I got the phone number off of the Kenmore website and they said yes, they post that number but its actually to Sears. What kind of customer service is this? They then transferred me to Whirlpool who manufactures Kenmore. After talking with the rep at Whirlpool, she said they no longer manufacture Kenmore and that I need to call Sears because they sold it to me. This is a terrible way to do business. It would be nice if they would manufacture a reliable product that you do not need to purchase an extended warranty for an amount that costs half the price of the machine itself. They do this apparently because they know they are manufacturing a substandard product. This is an American based company and this is truly an embarrassment for our country to have such poor manufacturing supported by even worse customer service. I would sincerely hope that management takes a better look into how they continue to do business.
Great! Worked great. Wonderful performance. Not loud or squeaky. Efficient in power and utility. Would like to own another set. Keeps up with my heavy laundry use. Long lasting impression of greatness. Highly recommend to others. Holds up well through multiple washes and drying. Cost is very much worth it for the great sturdiness.
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!!!!
I feel like this washer did get my clothes clean. However I wish that I could fit more into the washer to save time. I also felt that this washer used less water than other washers. The washer sometimes got off balance and I had to redistribute the clothes inside, but it was a durable and reliable washer overall. This washer never required maintenance or repairs. This washer is not as modern looking as a front load washer, but I did not feel that the design was an eyesore in my laundry room and the most important thing was that it got the job done. I felt that this washer was affordable and a great deal for the value. Other washer brands in this similar front loading style would have cost me considerably more money.
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 washer does a amazing job. It almost spins my clothes dry. It has a lot of different settings that make it so easy to pick the right one. I have had this washer for about 4 years and I have never had any problems with it. I have used the cleaning feature which does a amazing job. I bought the silver one that matches my other appliances. I like the look and style of the washer. It has a very classy look. I enjoy telling and showing my friends and family. It is comparable to other washer similar to this one. I feel like overall it is a great washer.
Very happy with overall operation of the washer. Save a lot of water this type of washer. Get my clothes clean. Easy to use and operate. Price was reasonable for this type of washer. It is very reliable. Have no problems with the washer. Everything that told by me through the salesperson was correct. Save a lot of water and on the water bill. Look very much like any other HE washer but the price was reasonable. Easy to use and has a nice appearance in my laundry area. I have the white ones and easy to clean. Energy star rating so it save on electric bills. The washer does take has much water so your water bill is cheaper. You can a great amount of laundry into the washer and they are clean.
The washer would not complete the drain cycle. I read some troubleshooting advice and purchased a new lid locker for $50. It didnt fix the problem. I called Sears and they charge a $99 diagnostic fee to come out then labor and parts. I read reviews of others who had similar issues. Some had to have the same problem fixed multiple times within a year. It could be the motherboard console. To replace this piece is about $250 plus labor plus the diagnostics. I paid $598 for the washer in 2011. I think I might be better off just purchasing a Speed Queen or another washer with a better warranty rather than pour money into something unreliable.
I bought washer 8/23/13. I had repairman out 9/10/14, again 11/10/14 and again 11/19/14. The second visit he was 4 hours late, without a call, or I apologize. Ask for different repairman for 4/26/15. One came, stated washer was fixed and drove away. Put clothes in washer and it will not work. I have used Kenmore products forever. I totally do not understand what is happening to your company. I pay for warranty services to no avail. I would never recommend your products again, unless someone comes and does a proper job that you can take pride in. This has been the most frustrating experience.
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.
I have bought a Kenmore Elite in 2008 and it broke down in 4 months. After that, it has been a continuing battle. I am on my 3rd service contract with Sears 4MyHome and it just broke down again. This time part has to be taken out of machine and sent to a repair service to get repaired because they dont have a new part for it. I was told that it possibly will be done on the 18th of the month (10 days without a washer). This is crazy!!! I am at the laundromat every few days, because I have 3 kids and a dog, and dealing with sports. I would NOT recommend the Kenmore Elite washer to anyone. I tell all my friends and neighbors that this machine is a big waste of money. After my warranty runs out, I am going to replace it. Definitely do my homework and the next one! My sincere condolences to anyone who buys this machine. It is TERRIBLE!!!
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 would have to say I love my Kenmore washer as its reliable, dependable and its performance is great. The family gives it a beating but it works great every time for us. Our Kenmore takes quite the abuse from our large family but it cleans reliable every time. I would recommend this brand of washer to any family in need of a durable and consistent washer. Its modern, high efficiency, digital readouts make it an outstanding washer to use. I like that I can see the settings in the dark as Im up all night due to our large family. The reliability and consistency of our Kenmore washer is outstanding. It energy efficiency makes it a great value for our carbon footprint and our wallets too!
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 Front-loading Automatic Washer Model #796.4127 - We purchased our washer about a yr and a half ago. Hate it on SO many levels. I thought it would be great for bedding and such but NOTHING comes clean. I can wash my husbands work shirts and after they are washed and dried I can still smell his cologne on the shirts. We live on the water and I lost my top loader in a hurricane which caused our basement to flood. I was overjoyed thinking I could finally buy a front loader and that it would be so much better. I wish I could turn back the hands of time and know then what I know now because I would have bought another top loader for sure. You just cant get clothes clean without an agitator! And the SMELL!!! OMG it is HORRIBLE! It has this little drain tube you have to drain every couple of weeks, you cant leave the door closed or the smell is disgusting, but then you worry about the rubber seal drying out. I hate this washer on so many levels it isnt funny. Would NOT recommend it even to my worst enemy. Laundry is enough of a chore without having to wait almost 2 hours to wash a load on the heavy setting but if you dont set it to that, nothing comes clean. Heck even on the heavy setting, it still comes out as stained as it went in. I use a laundry pretreat and that helps a little but if you are thinking of buying this, change your mind and RUN!!!
My washer works fantastic. Easy to use, nice and simple, just like me. Top loading works great because of the location in my basement. Make sure its up off ground elevate. Its just two of us, but I do laundry every other day. When I work outside which is just every day, I change twice a day so I have more than I should. The washer gets my clothes very clean and I dont have to worry about ruining clothing. Im sure you can get other colors, but I got white. Its easy to clean, matches everything durable, its just plain white. The knobs are a dark color which makes the washer stand out. The washer is energy efficient. Saves time, saves me money, it adjust the water level perfectly, shuts down when too much is loaded. I would recommend this washer to anyone that doesnt need a fancy one.
Its very easy to use, affordable, great quality and gets the job done right. The best washer Ive owned. The Kenmore washer is very reliable. At the rate its going I wouldnt be surprised if it lasts forever. The best brand out there in my opinion. My Kenmore washer isnt one of the newer fancy models but I still love it. Its not hideous. Just not fancy either. The Kenmore washer I have was definitely worth every penny. Id recommend it to any and everyone whos looking to buy a washer. And they last a long time.
I never wrote a review about anything ever, but have felt compelled to let everyone know never to buy this machine. After reading everyone’s reviews, I realized that I am not alone. 700s washing machine is a terrible purchase and a waste of money. I thought I was doing something wrong at first but after manipulating all the buttons, I still can’t seem to get ANY of my wash loads clean! Kenmore should replace all these bad washers or at least consider giving us a portion of our money back for all the aggravation it has caused. DO NOT PURCHASE 700s WASHER.
High capacity size, top of the line, been in business for years, and reputable brand. Water and electric efficient. Thoroughly cleans laundry. Dries with smart reading to save energy and doesnt over dry, keeping clothes looking fresh. Easy to use and adjustable control settings for all sizes and types of laundry needs such as cold, warm, hot and combinations of water temperature for wash and rinse cycle. The price of brand is not inexpensive, but the quality and long lasting durability is worth the price. This brand also comes with a lifetime warranty. Delivery and set up of products is offered when purchased as well.
It not the best at getting clothes clean. Doesnt agitate well but it does save on water and soap. The spin cycle twists the clothes and wrinkles them. I had to repair the washer three times and I had to buy an extended warranty three times to help cover the breakdowns. Several other items have broken. The design is stylish and sleek looking. The see through top helps when the load is imbalanced. The locking lid is also helpful and the operating knobs nice too. The cost was on the high end compared to other brands and when compared to the problems and extra money I had to spend on warranties made this a bad value.
Without an agitator the clothes do not come clean. Dah, I should have thought of that before I bought it, I know an appliance repair guy that his wife even got rid of her agitatorless machine. Thats how bad they are.
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.
Each appliance was efficient in cleaning and drying my clothes and the washer also had a water conservation feature that was cost effective... that combined with the stylish nature of both products added a modern style to my home.
I would recommend it simply because it is a Kenmore and thats the only brand I will ever own because I have never had a problem with any Kenmore appliances that I have purchased over the years. This is a very reliable washer because it gets the job done in half the time and is very easy to use and operate. My washer has a full load of clothes done in fifteen minutes. Overall I would recommend this product to anyone. The appearance of this washer is simple and the exterior surface is easy to clean with a sponge and cleaning spray. I always wipe my washer down after every use so it doesnt have a huge build up of dust since its in the basement. Very good value for the price. I only paid $200 for mine and it works just as good as the newer and overpriced high efficiency appliances which almost always break down at some point. In my honest opinion, older styles get the job done quicker than high efficiency pieces of crap.
We purchased this top loading washer less than a year ago and have been very unsatisfied. Would love our old, no energy efficient, agitating washer back in a heartbeat. 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.
Worked ok. Didnt last as long as expected. Washer was a bit rough on clothes so bought a different brand the next time. Hence have become very disappointed in Sears so have avoided their products.
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.
Most of the time it ran just like it should. Once and a while it would jam up or stop working. It was very dependable and got my clothes clean. The one I had lasted many years before I had to replace it. No matter what I put into it, it always did a wonderful job. I would definitely recommend this for anyone needing a washer. The store only had it in very few colors. It did not look very attractive but, got it for what it can do not its looks. As long as it did its job well, like always, its appearance does not matter. It was a bit on the expensive side but, it lasted so long that it was worth what we paid for it.
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!
