Kenmore Freezer

I love my upright freezer. Easy to see and reach food. Only thing that maybe can be improved is the soft-service door. It is a bit unstable flimsy. Maybe by design door is light-weighted to allow some freezing for butter/ice cream, wine etc., but it flops down too easily. Perhaps a better latch will be the least cost effective.

This 17cubic foot frost free upright freezer was purchased in 2012 and has held vegetables and meats that fed hundreds of people in my community. When I was bringing it home it fell over because it was not secured properly. I was fearful that it had been destroyed. I managed to lift and secure it well. I have only changed the lightbulb inside once. It has been a wonderful appliance to own. It has stored donations for a soup kitchen and hungry family members. If it could talk I believe it would say, ‘I like feeding the people.” Kenmore last longer than any appliance purchased by me. My freezer has allowed many meals to be prepared and fed many people.

My freezer sits on top of my fridge. And it was manufactured on 07/04. The freezer is a little small but it is still going strong. The fridge was the only major appliance that didn’t take a crap last year. Our stove washer and dryer all did within a 2 month period. At the end of Oct. so far she is a champ. I would absolutely recommend a Kenmore. And the next one I buy will probably be a kenmore.

The freezer is of good quality. We purchased it because of the pandemic and wanted to stockpile some frozen items in case they became scarce at some point during the pandemic. We have been very pleased with the freezer's performance. It keeps all items frozen until we need them. We have no complaints whatsoever about it and would highly recommend to family and friends.

My parents bought a Kenmore upright freezer in the mid 1960s and if I remember correctly it came fully stocked with food. The sticker is still on it, but the model number has faded out. This freezer was moved to another state and used by my parents until they passed away 20 years ago. I now have it and it is still working, It has had no repair done on it in all these years. When it finally dies (if it does) I will be replacing it with another Kenmore, The door handle has 16 on it.

So disappointed and dissatisfied. This is for a Kenmore upright freezer Model 111.21202910 purchased through Sears. Bought it in Nov. 2019. Broke down in May 2021. Sears tech. came out to look at it. Said it is the fan and when he moved a wire the fan worked, one day later still not freezing, another tech. came and said it might be the thermostat and the cost is $400, which is half of the price of the freezer or a full price for a smaller one, just do not buy Kenmore freezers and if you do, buy the extended warranty or you will lose a lot of money.

I bought this freezer to store not only extra store-bought frozen food, but also for bulk-cooked meals. It has performed admirably, quiet; efficient; low operating cost; easy to defrost (chest); space-saving design. 15 years of trouble-free operation; and counting.

The ice maker broke a year into it. The outside of the appliance rust easily. Do not see keeping this 5 years. Never another Kenmore! It is little wonder Sears has gone out of business! The brand name Kenmore stood for quality long ago. Sad really, if they would have kept producing quality they may still be around!

Extra freezer has been a very useful buy for me, Being a frugal shopper, like to stock up on fresh vegetables in season for use in times when either not available or high priced in off season. Additionally an avid gardener, home grown vegetables my pride, joy & accomplishments stored.

I have a side by side and 3- drawer refrigerator with ice maker on side. I love it is beautiful, very spacious and luxurious. The only downside Ice maker is a little slow but I was told by the vendor that all refrigerators top ice makers are the same. Other than that I give it a satisfactory review.
