Kenmore Washers

Kenmore High Efficiency water saving washing machines DO NOT CLEAN! Absolutely the worst machine! Even with bleach used on heavy load cycle, towels & face clothes come out as filthy as you put them in! Not saving any water when you have to wash 3-4 times! Zero stars.

Reviewing the Kenmore 110.20232711 Series 100 H.E. washing machine from Sears. I can honestly say that I have never been quite this dissatisfied with a washing machine costing more than $400.. The machine has NEVER been able to complete one single solitary load properly without having to babysit the thing to make sure it doesn't destroy itself on a spin cycle with no apparent way to stop the machine short of yanking the plug out of the wall.. Pause/cancel button totally ineffective! Numerous calls to sears begging for a replacement or refund. (First time I tried was 4 days after I bought it.) Their exact words were "yeah those machines don't have any warranty or guarantee, so you're "S.O.L."" I asked the woman to repeat that just to make sure I heard her correctly..

Sears Kenmore used to make a reliable appliance. Went into the store talking about how much I loved the KENMORE ELITE top loading HE washing machine that they had on display, went on and on about how big the drum was and how much I could fit in there so I purchased it in December of 2018. Paid over $1000.00 for it. The sales person never told me that the washing machine never filled all the way, maybe it was my fault for not asking but why would you make such a big drum if you couldn’t put a lot of clothes in it.

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

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.

My washer, a Kenmore top-loading washer, model 2002 was purchased brand new from Sears. It is exactly 9 years old. It still washes, but for about 3 years now, it ALWAYS gets out of balance! The ONLY time it doesn't bang around out of balance is the very rare occasion I wash an extra small load. I am one person and wash 1 medium load about once a week. Sometimes a sort of large load,

Washer Works great, large capacity, quiet. Excellent for all fabrics. Dryer large capacity great variety of settings for both. Does excellent job on large and small loads. Washer is toploading can easily pause to add clothes. Dryer front loader with the same capability.

Kenmore has always been a top brand when it comes to washer and dryers. Every home that I have had I made sure that Kenmore was installed. They are big enough on the inside and yet still compact to fit in any space.

Had this basic washer and dryer almost 30 yrs, have done many things that should not be done to a machine, overloading, washing everything in the house more times than I can count, and they just keep on working.... My mechanical engineer father told me, "the less things there are to go wrong, the less they will go wrong." I don't want some fancy annoying beeping machine, all it really needs to do is wash and dry. Wish more manufacturers made reliable products that last at least a generation!

I bought this Kenmore high efficiency washer 4 years ago, in 2017. I noticed clothes did not get as clean as with my old washer (which took 15 years before replacement was needed). There were other conveniences that were missing; for example, there was no way just to "spin" wet clothes, as there were with other washers. The washer needed frequent attention to adjust off balance loads. Finally, 2 months ago (May 2021), the washer refused to turn on. A service technician came 6/10 and said we needed a new board, which he ordered. The part has been on backorder since then. My only communication with Sears/Kenmore is when I call them. Their customer service reps politely tell me that the part is still on backorder, and they will "escalate" my request. I still have no working washer, and a service agreement which is not being honored. My advice is to consider another brand of washer.
