Kenmore Washers

My 2 1/2 year old Kenmore washing machine model 20372 stopped working. The dial on the control panel would not change the cycle. The start button would not start the machine. I did not have an extended warranty. I called sears for repair. They asked via text what the issue was. When a man, Victor, arrived he said he was told it was the lid locking mechanism. He was not the man that had been texting me. He said that guy, Justin, didn't work there. He said I was right. It is the control panel and it needs a new one for $400. He said that part breaks frequently on the Sears machines. To fix it there would be another service call, Plus labor which would be at least around $700 altogether. He still charged me for the service call even though he did not touch the machine and did not diagnose anything I hadn't already told him was wrong with it. That was more than I paid for the machine in May 2019.

My new Kenmore washer does not clean well at all. It fails to get out the mildest of dirt and soiling. I have worked for a number of years as an appliance repairman and seen some pretty bad washers come through, but I've never seen a brand-new washer perform this poorly on a regular load of dirty clothes. I've run heavily soiled clothes, medium soiled clothes and lightly soiled clothes through this machine and it just can't cut the dirt. The machine uses less water but does so at a clean wash's expense. It has a fancy control panel but it is of no use if the machine can't clean.

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.
