Kenmore Washers Reviews

I've owned them for almost 15 years and never once had a problem with either. I have the two-in-one stackable styled that saves space. And am able to put them in a large closet on the main floor of my house instead of having to go down the basement stairs.

Love the new technology of them especially being front load and having different settings and temperature controls and the use of less laundry detergent and the sensor with the dryer to adjust drying times so you don't need to use more power than you need to. Only complaint is how dirty the front load washer gets in the rim by the door. And also that the pedestal are not included in the price as a cheaper option. 249.00 a piece is way too much. But to get the height which is what I needed and why I wanted front load so we don't have to bend over cause as you age that gets impossible.

Price was good, has a large tub so will hold a large load. Dries very well, no need for the restart on large loads to make sure all is dry. My electric bill went down once I got this dryer. Runs very quiet. Good airflow, does not heat up the laundry room.

Both the washer and the dryer were priced reasonably well. Neither the washer or the dryer ever broke down, i.e. no service calls. Machines were not overly loud. Both the washer and the dryer worked well for over fifteen years. When I married my second husband, he had newer appliances, so we decided to keep his and sell our Kenmore appliances. The next time we need to buy a washer and a dryer, Kenmore will be in our top ten list of manufacturers. We'll probably consider Kenmore, Maytag, and Samsung.

They have been good, but the dryer is dying after ten years. It is a stack unit, and I am not impressed with the dryer at all. The washer is awesome, and is full size which is also excellent. Honestly, it just keeps on working, other than the dryer not being really effective. I thought it was due to the venting. But I changed the hose and that still doesn't work.

Kenmore appliances are excellent. I've had my Kenmore dryer for 15 years and it's still running fine. Never had any problems with it. I also had a Kenmore washer that lasted for 12 years and it was running fine when we decided to replace it for a newer model with more features.

I have owned my Kenmore for about 3 years now and it still run like it is brand new. My mother had used Kenmore while she was raise me and my brother and sisters. And she was very happy about it so it was kind of passed along to me. I will never change what type of washer and dryer machine I own. I am a customer for life.

I have always been happy with my Kenmore washer and dryer. My family has used both for many years with minimal problems. They have outlasted other appliances in our home and continue to do a great job with multiple daily use. I have never had a problem with the dryer running a full cycle and the clothes still being wet, which I have experienced with other dryers. The washer has always run smoothly. I'd recommend Kenmore appliances and will most likely purchase the same brand when it finally comes time to replace my current washer and dryer.

I inherited my grandparent's Kenmore washer and dryer when they passed away. The washer and dryer must have been well over 10 years old and still alive and kicking! I used them for at least another 5 years or so before I had to replace the dryer. I was so impressed with how long this set of washer and dryer lasted, that I ended up replacing them with newer models of Kenmore. I really liked that they cleaned my clothes well, dried them good and the products lasted so long! If they are good enough for my grandparents, then they are good enough for my family and I.

My machines are over 14 years old but are still great working condition. I've had to do some repairs to each one of the machines but aside from that I have no problems with them. They continue to do the work they supposed to do: drying and washing. My clothes come out fine. They don't fade and the machines have done well.

Been in my family for generations. My grandparents had Sears Kenmore, my parents had Sears Kenmore. Sears Kenmore stands behind their product and warranty. Very rare repairs and when it did the parts were covered by warranty with no hassle.

Well built and lasted us 15 years and we bought the washer and dryer used. Never had a problem. Always washed clothes clean and the dryer dried clothes very quickly. I would recommend the Kenmore brand to my friends and family.

I feel it works great and I was very satisfied and would buy again. I would recommend anyone to buy washer or dryer that is Kenmore!

They have been reliable and have always got the job done. I have never had any problems with them or had to get them repaired and my clothes always come out clean and smelling fresh.

It is the best machine we have had. We have had other machines and nothing compares to Kenmore. Not only the style but also the comfort and knowing it will always work for us. We love Kenmore.

They've gotten worse over the years. Not very well built, flimsy, not very sturdy, shakes easily. New product design is needed. They don't last long and they break down easily. Made in china crap.

In 40 years or so we have had remarkable success with Kenmore products. We just do not have problems. The two or three we have had were minor and quickly fixed. It is no wonder that when we think of appliances we think of Sears and Kenmore.

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.

They work very well and are very quiet. We have a family of six living at home and our appliances get used all the time. Besides us using our appliances, we do wash for my daughter and father so they get used more than a normal home.

Kenmore had been a good, reliable brand with products, work well and last a long time. Since it is a Sears product you know that if anything goes wrong with the machine Sears is there to help with the concern if it needs parts or service.

All the Kenmore appliances that I've ever owned last almost forever and hardly never break down or need repaired. The few times that I've ever had to have them serviced it was fast and cheap to do. These are the most reliable and dependable appliances made and when I need a new one Kenmore are the first choice I make and usually the only ones that I will purchase.

My experience with Kenmore devices has been wonderful. These products are easy to use and long lasting. I have been using Kenmore devices for the past year and could not complain. Would definitely recommend.

I had this washer & dryer when my kids was small and it handled all the dirty laundry that my family had each week for years. A highly dedicated lasting product. I loved the machine and the dryer and even though it was a long time ago, the machines never failed me and was easy to repair.

The washer and dryer are several years old but still work well. I would feel comfortable buying another set because I know they would last through whatever my family puts them through.

Well I had this same washing machine for over 8 years and it's still running strong. All of the knobs are still intact and the cycles come to a complete. I would recommend this appliance because of its durability, point blank.

Kenmore dryer is good, works well, cheap to own. Kenmore Oasis HE washer is a piece of junk. Ul errors, constantly have to babysit this washer just to get thru with a load. Pathetic. Will never buy another Kenmore item again.

Reliable when I used it. I would probably recommend this product and when used I had no problem when used because I always had always few or no problems with this product and if I did customer service was always to most of the time available.

I had a Kenmore for seven years. The product served it purposed but I feel it should have lasted longer than 7 years. It had the cycles I wanted and the features I wanted. I had it back in 1983. If I remember correctly it lasted seven years. After that one I had bought a GE and it lasted me about 17 or 18 years. That 10 years more than the Kenmore. I can't remember what happened to it. I think the more quit on it and it was going to cost me more than I care to pay to have it fix.

They never let me down--always good and efficient. Never break down and I never need to call a repairman. Their appliances lasts for years and years and years.

I have purchased Kenmore washers and dryers new as well as used. In my current residence I have both a washer and dryer that are both Kenmore. The dryer was purchased new and the washer was purchased used. I purchased the dryer at Lowe's in PA. The price of the dryer was low and it was pretty energy efficient. The washer performs great for being used. It was only $50. The dryer performs all the functions that are needed. I don't like the newer electronic washers for several reasons. First, the cost it too high. Second, the cost of detergent is more as well. Third, I did purchase one and it ended up breaking. I paid a costly repair from a certified repair man and it ended up breaking again. I have also had friends and family members that have had similar experiences with the new electronic washers and dryers. But, mainly the washers.

Lasted for years. Very pleased with it. It was still working when I gave them to my granddaughter and she is still using them. They are at least 15 years old and working great. I share my experiences with Kenmore products to others, and when I need other appliances I go straight to Sears for Kenmore products. They are the best.

Fabulous HE front loader washer and dryer. Gets the job done quick and quietly. Large and/or small loads. Great for a large or small family. But can only use HE detergent or you will have suds and washer will stop.

I have owned my washer and dryer set for 3 years now and love it. My parents have owned Kenmore products since I can remember. When me and my husband bought our first home, of course all our appliances had to be Kenmore. My parents trust Kenmore and so do I.

Never ever had a problem with my washer or my dryer! I had them for 10 years before I upgraded and they still ran well. I just wanted bigger ones as my family grew. :) I now have a new set and they run just as well and I do not have any issues with these either. All of our kitchen appliances are Kenmore too because of how much we love the brand. :)

I have thoroughly enjoyed using my Kenmore, it is reliable & easy to use. Have always had great experience with Kenmore products, they last many yrs. They dry & wash well, easy to read knobs on them. Easy clean filter. My mom used Kenmore before me & grandma before her. Have always remembered having a Kenmore in my life from since I was a little girl.

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.

15 yrs old and still going strong. No problems with it whatsoever. I would definitely buy again. Would not buy one of those unfounded brands as they have not been on the market long enough.

The washer and dryer by Kenmore were amazing. Easy to use and really did a great job washing my family's clothes. The washer machine has every setting you need for all the different fabrics of your clothes. The dryer was also amazing. Never had a problem with my clothes not being dried all the way.

My Kemore has never let me down. It is the go to brand that I would buy again. They are up to date and well made. I have owned other brands and they have not compared to my Kenmore. The tub size is good and the programming dials are easy to read and use, with plenty of options for which every type of loads you are doing. The dryer is also big enough to do many pairs of jeans & towels without worrying that they won't dry.

It's been a great machine. My family has used these products for generations. I love the ease of using the washer. I plan on buying my kids the same brand when they get homes of their own.

I have a Kenmore washer and dryer. The pair is working on its 25th year of providing clean and dry clothes! Had other brands in years past and not any compare when it comes to longevity! Remember getting parts replaced on former appliances which was an expensive outlay and only provided a few months of extra use. Highly recommend Kenmore!

I have been very happy with my Kenmore washer and dryer. I haven't had any major problems with them and they have held up well. I have had them for years and they still work great even after washing clothes for 4 people everyday. I'm very impressed with this brand. It's the best brand I've had.

Very well made. Had them for many years and were used many, many times. They were handed down to my daughter to use with her family. I only had to change belts once on washer and twice on dryer.

It's been a great and dependable product. If and when I did have problems it was easy to service the machines because of how well known the brand is. Kenmore products are also easy to find so when I want to upgrade my washer or dryer it easy to find replacement for they are sold at most retailers. I have had my machine for about 5 years and had no problems.

High quality product with an affordable price. Really convenient and reliable to use. Very easy to set up and very helpful customer service while purchasing the item. Everything seems to be in order with the washing and drying and it seems to be of very high quality.

My washer is a little bit older now. It had a good run, was good while it lasted, got all of my stuff clean and had plenty of different setting options. It is on its way out, any load may be its last. I wish it would have lasted a little bit longer, but maybe 5 years is all you can expect out of washer machine??

I have a stackable washer and dryer from Kenmore and just love it. Both the washer and dryer work perfectly every time. I have had no problems in 4 years of owning them. I trust the quality that Kenmore puts into their products. The dials on the machines are very straightforward and not confusing. I am very pleased with the product.

Extremely reliable, highly efficient, high quality, extremely effective, durable, trustworthy, high value, great brand, highly recommended. Love Kenmore brand appliances. Highly noteworthy.

I have had nothing but fantastic experiences entirely with my Kenmore devices. They always work, they always have an outstanding warranty just in case something happens to your devices, and they never do. I would recommend these devices to just about everyone I know. I would definitely suggest getting these because they are amazing.

Kenmore brand was very pleasing and the quality was great. It lived up to it standards and I was very happy with the choice I made with choosing their product. I needed a washer and drying for my apartment I was moving into so I decided to look at some in Sears. Not only did they have a wide selection but the prices were decent and customer service was excellent. So I had a wonderful experience all the way around when I decided that I needed to purchase these two appliances.

Easy to use and understand for my parents who don't speak English. The instructions that came with the appliances were super easy to use. The washer is very good and fast. We haven't had issues with clothes shrinking in the dryer.

I would certainly recommended this product to friends and family. I bought both a washer and dryer combo a year and a half ago and no problem with either. I had a Kenmore washer before and no Kenmore is a excellent brand name to buy.

It is very powerful and gets the job done fast. I would definitely recommend this to others because it's the best washing machine and dryer out there. No other product compares. This is the best product I have ever used.

The products are reliable. They are both 5 years old and I have not had any problems with them. We have a lot of dirty clothes with a family of 3 young boys and the appliances have held up great.

The Kenmore washer and dryer were well made and did not give me any problems. I kept both machines until I was looking for a larger capacity washer and dryer, but up until that point both machines worked very well.

The pair lasted more than 20 years with minimal repairs. Our local repairman told us to buy Kenmore, that they were the one that we would be the happiest with. Our family of four meant they got used a lot.

The washer worked for a good 7 years then just started having little glitches during the wash cycle. We were offered a brand new set for free from a family member so that's the main reason we got rid of our Kenmore washer and dryer.

It was fine. We had it provided to us from our apartment that we rented in PA but that was 10+ years ago. It was old and beat up but worked good for the 2 years we lived there.

Satisfied. My clothes are clean and well dried after washing it. Less work. It can load heavy duty - the blankets, sheets, pillow cases. This brand is not expensive but really works well.

So far so good, no real use since they just got bought for a new house. Once they start getting used on regular basis we'll see how they continue to perform then. Probably will start using them in the next couple of weeks when we get moved in.

Kenmore appliances are very reliable and economical to operate. I would recommend them to everyone. I had a washer and dryer (Kenmore) years ago and wish I had of bought them again. They last a very very long time.

We love our Kenmore washer and dryer. They are a great value for the money! Easy to use controls means everyone in our family can operate them, and lots of extra features and settings means we always have the right wash to tackle any mess.

Both washing machine and dryer are very efficient and had lasted for a long time. We feel that they clean better and the electricity efficiency is one of the best in the market. In fact, when we had them replaced, we replaced them with the same brand.

I can't complaint. I have had these machines for more than 5 years now. They still work perfectly fine. My washing machine and dryer were both used from another person so they are older than 5 years. I loved them.

I love my washer and dryer. We have had it for almost 20 years. It was not the top of the line, but it has been the perfect machines for us. We are looking to replace them more Kenmore.

My washer and dryer have both been very good to us. We've had them about 4 years now, and the only issue we've had is the dryer quit heating one day and we needed to replace a tiny, cheap part. No problems since then. Thanks Kenmore!

Thanks to Kenmore, I am absolutely in love with my washer and dryer. They have never let me down and I will NEVER use another brand!!! When it's time for a new one, I'm going with Kenmore. You can bet on it.

I've had the dryer for over 6 years. I don't know how long it was in my home before I purchased the house so I'm not sure the real age of the dryer but I've only had to replace the belt on it once and haven't had any other major repairs to it. I've even let other friends and family use it over the years and it's still going strong.

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.

I love Kenmore Washers. They do their jobs perfectly and better than any other appliance I've owned. They're highly dependable. They last an extremely long time. They have been around for a long time and I highly recommend them for anyone who wants a high quality appliance from this company.

Kenmore appliances have worked very well for our family. They last long and do what their intent is. Our washer and dryer is my favorite. It has been so convenient to use. I love it! I have a family of 5 and there is always so much laundry to do. It has held up extremely well.

I find Kenmore to be highly reliable, long lasting and effective. When looking for appliances, Kenmore would be one of my preferred options (depending on price). I'm big into the new energy saving products.

Worked well enough for the price. Both were basic models with no bells nor whistles and they performed their jobs well. Neither were energy efficient but lasted many years and showed no sign of breaking down. They performed their jobs well. Got clothes clean and dry. Couldn't ask for much else considering the price.

It was a good experience. We had our Kenmore washer and dryer for nearly 10 years before either of them started experiencing any problems! They have good products and we would buy Kenmore again. It's not super expensive, so that's also a plus.

Just think they are a top grade company and delivers the best. I have own it for years and never had any issues. Easy to find to buy also. Just remember the saying also "You get what you pay for".

They are pretty good, not the best but a decent price. They last a while. They are durable and get the job done. Kenmore is simple and easy to use. Kenmore washer and dryers are definitely better than Maytag. They are up to date and have some good features.

I have a Kenmore Washer and Dryer that I bought together about 3 years ago. The dryer has worked perfectly without any mishaps. The washer on the other hand has leaked and had the pipe burst about 3 times now. The first year it was great and then the second year is when everything went bad. I would recommend getting a Kenmore dryer because it's amazing and fast. If you like wet laundry rooms, then buy the washer too.

Kenmore is a great appliance company. I would buy any of their name brand products. I wash clothes every week. I normally do about 8 loads of laundry. I wash and dry in a Kenmore. It is quick, efficient, not loud, and gets the job done.

Very reliable. We bought them several years ago and have had no problems and our clothes are very clean. They are also stackable and a great and very quiet space saver. When we bought them they at a very reasonable price and feel that they will last a very long time. We will definitely purchase Kenmore again when the time comes.

I like the Kenmore washer and dryer I have. They both work efficiently and get the job done as well as looking stylish with my laundry room decor. I especially like the express dry feature on the Dryer that dries my clothes extra fast when I'm in a pinch!

I bought Kenmore because of the trusted name and have in over 10 years not had any problems with my washer or dryer! Kenmore is a trusted name and I recommend its products to everyone.

Bought both washer and dryer. Have lasted 5 years. So far no major problems. Very happy with my decision to buy new. I believe that is why they have lasted so long but I also only have a household of 2 so not much wear and tear in that area.

Was totally satisfied with Kenmore products. I purchased the extended warranty coverage. My appliances were serviced yearly and maintained in good condition. I would totally recommend Kenmore appliances.

We got them because they was fairly inexpensive. We had 2 kids at the time and did laundry all the time. It lasted about 4 years and did an great job with the high demand of the family. They was energy saving which was very nice.

I had a Kenmore top loading washer with a dryer for about 10 years before the washer died. Both units were great and without issues. Our replacement washer/dryers were also Kenmore. Both front loading machines. Still love them!

I recently noticed rust around the bleach dispenser of my Kenmore top loading washer Mod 796 2900 2000. I called Sears and was told to call the Rework department at 1-800-659-7026. I spoke to several folks to include John, Jose and Paul (no last name or employee number was given) and 2 out of three said there was a "RECALL" on this model number and one said there was not. The final person that I spoke to said there was a recall and actually scheduled a technician to come out and service my machine. I asked specifically, "since this is under a recall I do not have to pay the service charge right?" and I was told, "that is correct".

Today took the cake. I'm washing t-shirts and decided to throw in my bedroom slippers. Well, now I will be throwing them away!!! I can't believe what they turned out like. They were pink and now they are half black. Yes, black!!! Who designed this piece of crap!!! Not happy at all and yes I did take pictures! The only reason I decided to wash them was because I figured I would freshen them up before winter. My washer will be one year old in November of this year 2015!!!

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 hasn't been resolved. After only 2 yrs. 7 months of use, I wouldn't think the washer should be rusting. I'm not sure I will be buying a Kenmore again.

Washer thoroughly cleans my clothes. It is an older model and has lasted many years. The clothes dryer has also lasted many years. It still gets hot and dries my clothes quickly. Would buy Kenmore appliances in the future!!

My devices were always great quality and lasted a long time. I never had any problems and would recommend them to others. I currently have another brand at my current rented location (because I do not have any other choice), but have noticed problems with this brand (rubber bumpers falling off, etc). When I can have my own place with appliances that I fully own, I will definitely try to have Kenmore, budget permitting.

Quality product that performed well. No issues that I can complain about. I washed many clothes and then dried many clothes. I then wore them and looked amazing. People would stop me on the street and beg to hear the secret of my look. I would whisper "Kenmore" then run away.

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.

My first washing machine was a Kenmore that we got used from a neighbor. It worked forever and was super reliable, and always cleaned our clothes well. Quality, trustworthy and reliable. Never had any issues with it. We used it for over 5 yrs and then sold it when we moved.

I like the technology used in the Kenmore washing machines. My clothes come out nice and clean every time. The cycles were gentle enough for delicates and then tough enough for getting out big stains and odors. I also liked the fact that the machine did not make too much noise through its cycles. The spin cycle was strong but not noisy as other machines tend to be.

My Kenmore washer and dryer lasted for over 15 years and no problem. I believe to be a customer for life. I also have a Kenmore Fridge and stove top. The only reason all of my appliances are not Kenmore is because I did not do the purchasing for them.

After 35 years of faithful performance by my Maytag washing machine, without one single service call, it finally bit the dust this last May 2015. As I have had generally good luck in the past with my Kenmore products both in my home and several rentals we have, I dutifully did my research on a new Kenmore washer (I don't even remember if it was an HE or not as this is a new term for this 76 year old woman). Upon telling the salesperson which machine I wanted she immediately told me that no, I didn't want to buy that particular item because there were a lot of complaints about it and she steered me to this other machine (in retrospect I believe this was a good old "bait and switch") which miraculously could wash up to 27 large towels in its cavernous belly. No mention was made about where you would dry these 27 towels of course.

I have had my Kenmore washer and dryer for almost 2 years. I have only had to have one repair on my washer and it was a fluke accident. I have been very pleased with both machines and would buy the same ones again.

My washer/dryer has always worked and never gave me any problems, always gets the job done. I've had it for at least 8 years. They are very good quality and last a long time. I shouldn't even be needing a new washer/dryer for the next couple years, even though I'd had mine for 8+ years.

I'm generally satisfied. Sometimes have problems turning unit on if I did not shut it down before opening the door on the last use. I just unplug it and replug it, and it will work fine.

I have had the same wash dryer for almost 10 years, they both still work great! I also grew up using the same name of appliances. The Kenmore products have always been used in my home. And I would recommend Kenmore any day.

Kenmore Connect Washer. I've owned this new washer for just over 6 months and have had 3 service calls to get it fixed; including complete replacement of the computer chips. And it died again today! BEWARE!! After 17 service visits, I'm told I can get my money back... 14 to go! Thanks Sears/Kenmore!!!

I purchased the Kenmore Washer 100 series 4 month ago and I simply hate it. It has a supposed sensor for the water level and this is useless. It works for a very small load but even when the washer is only half full it does not add enough water. Yesterday I washed a bed spread that filled the washer about 3/4 and only the bottom of the spread was covered in water. I had to add 3 buckets of water to submerge the spread. Then when it rinses the lid locks therefore no chance to add water. Why should I be adding water anyway? In the past I have always bought Kenmore appliances. I will no longer.

I purchased the Kenmore Elite Washing Machine and compatible Dryer, in Sep of 2012. As of this date, Sep 9, 2015, I have been utterly disappointed with its performance as a "washing" machine, as it does not wash clothes, it get them wet, wrinkles them up, and spins them out. Clothes do not come clean. But, the great news is, today it completely EXPLODED! I mean that it blew up, the top, the whole top, not just the lid and the control panel, but the entire top blew off, the machine blew apart, blowing a holes in the drywall, denting the adjoining dryer, as you will see in my photos.

Sears Kenmore model 110.28002011. Same problem as the recall that occurred on 12/18/2012. Recall number: 13-073. Same violent shaking. This is the exact same circumstances that occurred during the recall as report in recall #13-073. Washer purchased new in Jan 2013. I will never buy another appliance from Sears, not to buy and will tell friends and family and social media. Sears do not stand behind the product that they are selling... I will never buy another Kenmore not because of the problem but because of the lack of support behind the product. With all the complaints they received, neither Sears nor Kenmore stepped up to resolve this issue.

My mother is Serafina **. She is 83 years old. She bought the washing machine model 21102 on 5/17/11. She also bought the extended warranty with Sears for an additional 3 years. The money for the warranty was basically money flushed down the toilet. The top load washer door is not closing. The light keeps blinking on and off. It is supposed to stay lit which signifies the door is closed and the washing cycle will begin. This does not happen. The clothes are drenched with water. My mother is elderly, so she does not do much laundry to begin with. The washing machine is new for the most part. There is something faulty with this Kenmore model because I have read many other reports online of customers with the same exact issue.

I bought this set the Kenmore Elite front load washer and dryer model 41100/81100. So disappointed. They are an expensive set paying $1500 a piece! 2 Years old about six months ago I had a repairman in to change the rubber molding on the washer. It stains no matter what you do! I tried wiping it out after each use leaving the door open to dry out (which I shouldn't have to do these things). The smell is awful. I have bought cleaners, bleached it, vinegar any trick possible to get my clothes not to stink! My towels are garbage. Now they smell like mold... My dryer just went down too! Only works about 10 minutes. Shuts off with error message! I won't even call the repairman this time. Not going to throw more money out my window! As soon as I'm able this set will be on the street in the garbage pile! I paid a little more to get the Kenmores for their reputation of being quality! I won't be purchasing anything from Sears again!

We have always been fans of the Kenmore washing machines until we bought the Elite. It won't get my husband's work clothes clean, constantly goes out of balance, and leaves white residue on dark clothes. We have tried a wide variety of the HE detergents on the market - powder, liquid, pods. Nothing seems to make any difference. We paid quite a bit for this machine and it has not lived up to our expectations. Wish we could afford to replace it.

Purchased the "new style" Kenmore Model #25132 top loader washing machine in late June. Do NOT buy this type of machine, as it twists all your sheets into an almost impossible lump, and does the same with shirt sleeves, so you have to spend 5-10 minutes untangling. That tied-up, wrinkled-up mess now requires ironing! Oh my gosh. Haven't ironed shirts in years, but you would Not wear anything that looked like that. The idea is that it spins it "dry." Nope; it's no drier than my old agitator top-loader, and now requires so much effort to just get it untangled. Tried the "delicate" cycle, and that's only marginally better, and with lots more dampness.

I grew up in a Kenmore household. The parents swore by the brand. In the few times we needed to replace an appliance, Sears was there with a new Kenmore unit. My parents' house is still occupied by a number of older Kenmore appliances, some have to be pushing 25 years. So when the builder grade appliances started dying in my house after 13+ years, I naturally choose Kenmore as a replacement and dropped over $1,600 for a new washer and dryer. Sears showed up on time, installed the washer and dryer, neat and clean and were gone. All they left was the boxes the washer and dryer came in and the neighborhood kids loved playing in them just as I did when I was young. That was four (4) years ago. Sears no longer stands behind you (or for that matter beside you) after your one year warranty expires.

We purchased the washer in July 2013. We did not put the washer in the new home until Oct. of 2013. It has had approximately 20 loads of laundry done in it. It senses, takes on water, agitates, drains and then it tries to spin but does not, just runs. I have to move the selector to drain and spin to get it to spin. I contacted Sears and Kenmore. They said we are responsible for repair even though the washer has had very little use.

Purchased this unit new end of April. Report man just left after 4th attempt to repair. Unit still not working and will not authorize replacement. This is the end. All our kitchen appliances are Kenmore. I guess since Kmart took over there is no customer service. This unit is a lemon and we want our money back and Sears to come and get this piece of crap. The repairman was shocked while trying to repair unit. This is unsafe for my wife to use and to have in my house. Sears has really gone downhill since being taken over by Kmart.

I purchased my Kenmore washing machine in May of 2014 and received it in June. My washer had been giving me a UE code which is a unbalanced code. This would happen no matter what I was washing. To be fair I should have called Sears sooner to have them look at washer while it was covered on warranty, but I did not realize when the warranty was up until it was too late. I had repairman come out to fix my machine, he told me that the parts alone would be $504.00 to fix (brand new on sale cost was $550). Told me LG manufactured machine under Kenmore label and I should call them to see if they would cover price of parts. Also said this rarely happened to the machines.

Rust forming around bleach dispenser. I feel this is poor workmanship on Kenmore part. However they coat the enamel finish on the frame into which the dispenser sits in 3 year should not start to rust! If untreated this will spread and spot rust marks will start appearing on clothes. There is no way to contact Kenmore directly. Everything reverts to sears. Who want to charge me $79.00 to come tell me there is rust but will put the 79.00 dollars towards my repair bill. This is poor customer service.

My husband and I purchased the Kenmore washing machine from a Sears store. Just after the one year warranty was up, the electronic door lock would click, the light would flash like it was going to work, then it would click again and turn the machine off. The local repair person, who does work for companies like this, came and replaced the door latch. Now, less than three months later it is doing the same thing. This time Kenmore is saying that the computer needs to be replaced.

Washer (MODEL NO: 41740412702) is rusting in bleach container area, and now in washing machine basket. It is also rusting on the outside. Bought in 2010, now 5 years old. Cost for washer/dryer stack-able was $1258.42. Will never buy Kenmore again!

We bought a new Kenmore Elite Top Loading Washer 31522 in July of 2014. We noticed that the machine often generated a UE error and we had to redistribute the clothes. But it got where we could not even wash a load of sheets without having to redistribute the load 3 o 4 times. Sometimes just hit "Drain and Spin" just to complete the load. Even though Consumer Reports usually discourage buying an extended warranty we did buy one for 3 years.

We have had trouble with the Kenmore dryer since we purchased it. We complain to Sears and they take up to a month to send a serviceman. They charge for a service call. 3 year old washer and dryer. The dryer has had a problem with an ordered part for 46 days and still no response. Dryer unusable. Now the washer stops in mid-cycle and has to be restarted. I would not give Kenmore even 1 star of satisfaction. I would never purchase another product from Sears of any kind and of any type due to their poor attitude on service. I can't see them in business much longer. They alienate all their customers.

Purchased July 2011. Motor died March 2012. Rotary belt needed service January 2013. Now with lid open machine with begin new wash cycle on its on for the past week or so. There is a short in the electronics. We need to unplug the machine and then plug it back in between loads. There are 2 of us and do about 3 to 4 loads of easy laundry a week. So now after 4 years our 'efficient' washer will be added to the local landfill. We grew on Kenmore and will never buy another. The heating element in the dryer purchased at the same time is fading. After reading reviews we're not alone.

Rusting washing machine lid and around bleach dispenser. Faulty cycle selector. Beeping when machine powered on, fills with water, when lid locks.

Purchased dryer in 2013, just got it paid off and dryer started shutting off after a few minutes and getting error code CE. We have had the venting system cleaned by professional and new vent hose checked and there was no lint blockage. Repairman said it was motor. He put one that didn't work. He came back and put on new heating element... then didn't work. I have been without a dryer for 3 weeks. It will work if I unhook machine from dryer vent. What is the problem. I have seen many other complaints about Sears unable to fix this machine?

From the very beginning it wouldn't start. It would make a lot of clicks and groans and nothing would happen. I've had it repaired 3 times and kept the extended warranty going by paying the additional annual fee but have not renewed that coverage as the machine will wind up costing a ton of money. I thought I had a lemon but from what I'm reading the machine is defective. Sears use to be good - no more. DON'T BUY ONE!!!

3-year old Kenmore washer caught fire this a.m. Kenmore is made by different manufacturers & this one is made by Whirlpool. Model # 110.2800201, serial # C20732070. Washing a small load when I heard a loud pop and saw that smoke was pouring from unit. Horrible quality.

Kenmore Elite Washer delivered in 8/2013. From day one it would stop mid cycle. Oct. 2014 got so fed up babysitting it to make sure it finished that I called for repair. Person said it was a common problem. Tightened wash plate and then sold me a Protection agreement. He said call whenever happens again. Feb 2015, they came out again for same problem. He said I had to ensure I only put like clothes together and that really it isn't a washer for just two people! He also decided to adjust one leg on the washer as he thought that may be an issue also.

My washing machine was showing UE and was remaining unbalanced during washing. I found the specific recall through their website for this repair. I called 2 1/2 weeks ago. I was told they would be here to fix my machine in 5 days between the hours of 8 a - 4 p. I stayed home from work. I called to check on the arrival of my repair man and was told they would be there the following week. I asked to be moved up, they replied they could not do that.

Series 700 top loading washer - I've never been more disappointed in a purchase. These claim to be efficient water saving devices but you have to do 6 times the number of loads if you want your clothes to be cleaned. I purposely put very few articles into the wash because I want them to actually come out clean and over and over again they come out dirty, as if they were simply wet down and spun around. We did have an old style, center agitator Whirlpool that did use more water but CLEANED 6 times the amount of laundry in one load! That washer cost us $75 and lasted 14 years. This new Kenmore cost $700 and has been nothing but disappointment.

I bought a Kenmore washer on Dec, 2013 at Sears, Oakville, Ontario. After one month the washer was broken --couldn't spin dry. Sears replaced me a new one MOD# 592-49347 around March 2014. After one year later and two month, the washer door couldn't lock.

I purchased my Kenmore front load washer in 2009. All was good until I need it fixed! A technician came out and told me what was wrong...and charged me for that visit! Now a part is on back order and has been for OVER 2 MONTHS!!! This is ridiculous! Sears repair service sucks! I will never purchase another product from them and I will definitely pass my experience along so that others do the same!!!

I bought a Kenmore Elite washer from Sears on 2014. I was highly encouraged to get the warranty for about $325 for ONE year; which I did. A year and three weeks later, my warranty was expired and the washer started to stop in the middle of the cycle and giving an LE ERROR. The manual says it's the MOTOR - turn on and off the washer. If the error continues then call customer service. I called and they told me indeed is the motor, gave me a quote of $260 for the new motor & installation OR to pay $360 for ONE YEAR of warranty and this would cover the parts and installation.

9/2012 I purchased the Kenmore Elite top load machine from Sears. Once it was 2 years old, I continuously get the UE error code. It may take 3 tries and 2 hours to rebalance and get the load washed. Additionally, it is beginning to twist clothes tightly and tear seams of towels. I am being told this machine has no service recalls on it. I am responsible for the repairs.

We have to empty a "drain catcher" on the bottom of the machine before almost every time we use it. We forgot one time and almost completely flooded our house. It is an extremely poor design.

Recently purchased Kenmore washer and dryer from Sears. Used the washer first time this evening. Midway to the wash/spin cycle, it made very loud noise, vibrated severely, jumped around, its side wall hit the edge of the nearby counter top leading to a dent/scratch, crushed the pipes between the machine the wall, damaged the vent pipe of the dryer, hit the dryer and pushed it around. A broken piece of bolt flew out of the machine. I stopped the machine. There were some broken pieces of plastic on the floor behind the washer. Called 1-800-469-4663. After a long hold and 2 transfers, someone scheduled an appointment with a technician 5 days from today. Very disappointing!

I purchased Kenmore Elite washer in 2010 and truly wish I had read these reviews before my purchase. I have always purchased my appliances from Sears and felt that after spending almost $1000, that I had a great washer. Yes, my bleach compartment has rusted and also the machine was leaking. Had to purchase rods. Also, it doesn't wash any better than any less expensive model. Clothes wrinkle as others have commented. Also found out that it is really made by LG and Kenmore just put its name on the product. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS WASHER!

I bought this washer in 2005 at a Sears outlet store. Now keep in mind I live alone so I don't 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, that's 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.

Recently purchased this in 2013, now only two years later it's leaking. Researched what the problem might be and replaced the pump. Still leaking! How can a machine that's only a couple years old have these problems?? Now I am having to start all over again... never purchase a Kenmore! They used to be known for quality, not anymore!

Model #796-2900 - I originally purchased this washer in May 2011. In 2 months the computer board went out. A new board was delivered but did not fix the problem. August 2011 a new washer was delivered. Within a few months the buzzer went out - I could deal with that. The bleach dispenser started rusting within the first year and your clothes come out so twisted, it isn't even funny. The UE sensor comes on every time I do a load of laundry and I have to rebalance the load - UGH.

I had bought very expensive towels and it took only washing them 4 times and they were shredding and falling apart. Then my washer frequently has uneven loads so often I will get frustrated and just go to the laundromat. I don't understand my parents have the same one and theirs does not do either one of these. Why???

The service rep arrived. He said that he needed to run a test to see if the program was corrupt. After a 13-minute cycle he said that nothing was wrong, but he reached in and shake the drum and said that it needed shocks. It would cost about 280.00. How will replacing the shocks fix an out of balance problem? Sears will not address their own recall, the machine was verified on the phone twice and by the tech that this machine is included in the recall. Well Sears every time we need to replace a machine (we have 5 of your major appliances), we will not be replacing them with a Kenmore product! Until Kmart became part of Sears you had a good policy. Goodbye.

I am so very frustrated. I bought a stacked Kenmore washing machine/dryer in the Bahamas in 2013... I used the machine a couple times and left six weeks later for Europe where I spend six months of the year. I returned six months later and the washing machine did not work... for the nine months that I had it, it did not work most of the time. We are two people in a household. We replaced the same parts twice to no resolve... the parts have never work. I paid $2,500 for this machine. Parts cost $500. The Kenmore washer/dryer serial number is RS01725C Model 2661532210.... PLEASE HELP!!!

Kenmore Elite 4.7 cu ft Top Loader - If I could give it a negative star I would. HORRIBLE and TERRIBLE! I paid over $1000 for this machine and it has not worked properly since I purchased it--less than 3 years ago. I have had the tech come out at least 2x and now this time I keep getting the LE error code. Last Kenmore washer I had worked wonderfully for 13 years. I will NEVER buy another Kenmore AGAIN.

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.

I bought a Kenmore Elite Oasis HE automatic washer model number 110.27067601 serial number CT0570011 in late 2008 (along with the dryer). I also bought a one year extended warranty for it. Shortly after, the machine had the F1 error code and could not function. I called, a technician came out and replaced the control board. A couple years later, I had the same problem. The machine gets the F1 code while filling. I had to press the stop and start button at least four times to get the machine running again. Then 20 minutes before the cycle is over, it has another F1 error code. This time I have to press stop and start four more times. Being a busy physician I did not contact Sears and just tolerated the inconvenience for several years.

Put load in, it ran for about a minute, made some noise, rattling and banging. Then blows a fuse. Any ideas as to what the issue could be would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

We have a 2-year old Kenmore Series 700 Washer. On December 12th the hose on the rear of the machine failed due to corrosion. Our home was flooded. The hose was replaced and failed again in 3 weeks due to corrosion or some chemical reaction. We had our house re-grounded by an electrical company. Two weeks later the same result. We need technical help so that we do not have another $100,000 insurance claim.

When the 28-year old Maytag finally gave out, we purchased the Kenmore HE top-loading washer and matching dryer. We live on a ranch and from the start it wouldn't wash the jeans clean and over time has begun to leave white residue on the dark clothes. I have to wash clothes over and over to get them sort of clean. What an inefficient use of water and power! The "whites" cycle takes 74 minutes!!!! How can that be saving anything? I just finished washing, by hand, my son's dark-colored dress pants which have been through the washing machine twice. They kept coming out all lint-covered and with white areas all over them.

I bought a Kenmore Elite Washer, Model 796.4147.2210 in May 2013. It has worked just fine until yesterday when it simply stopped powering on. I hit the power button and nothing happens. None of the buttons will work. If I unplug the machine and wait a couple minutes, it will work -- But, after a while or one load, it will go dead again. After searching the internet, I am guessing this is a problem with the Main Control Board, a $220 part. This is pretty much the most expensive washer Kenmore makes, and it was very highly rated. Bought at Sears and they installed it. So disappointing!

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 didn't 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 don't want it to so darks are spotted with white spots.

I have a Kenmore washer 11045986 400 and dryer that matches. Washer has broke for the third time and the dryer has a short in circuit board. I cannot wash clothes and these machines were very expensive and sears wants to charge me over 300 dollars for a service call when I already paid for the same problem.

I am a senior citizen and limited in my mobility. I am totally disappointed and frustrated with the Kenmore Elite which I purchased in December 2013. The 3 P.C. Boards I've been told are not working thus resulting in the machine not working. I've been told by the technician the repair would cost almost as much as I paid for the washing machine. I thought Kenmore's were reliable. I purchased this with my Sears card.

We bought the machine about 5 years ago. After the first year, it started giving me error. Went on internet and it said it was door switch problem. Ordered one and put it in, no difference. The next advice was to replace a board. I reset the wires and it worked fine for months. Then started again. So have to reset the wires regularly now. Then it started dumping water on the floor about every 4-5 loads. Am looking for a solution. I'm 77 and it's hard for me to do repairs now.

This Kenmore Elite Top Loader Washer 29002000 is the most I have ever spent on a washer & is the only one that I have ever owned with so many problems! Takes an 1 1/2 hrs to wash on heavy duty cycle. Will not get the clothes clean on the normal cycle - rust around bleach fill & door hinges. Constantly running water & have to start over with spin & drain to finish. Always goes out of balance - tangles & twist clothes. The detergent, fabric softener, & bleach all fill full of water at end of cycle. Have never wasted this much time babysitting a washer that costs so much! Very disappointed in Kenmore.

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 don't 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.

Kenmore high efficiency washer - This is the loudest machine ever. It wrinkles and eats clothes. It is now leaving white stains on darn clothes. I've always bought Kenmore products. Never again. Very disappointed.

This machine is less than two years old and almost immediately started deteriorating to almost always UE code. It bounces and walks when it spins. The drum bangs the side with such force it sounds like it will come apart. Model # 796 31512211 Sn# 211pnvz2k759. It does exactly what other machines are recalled for but is not on the list. Spent big bucks to get major frustration! Please help.

I have the same issue as J. of Waukeegan, IL (2/17/15) and I am sure many others that my Kenmore HE washer does not clean clothes. Although I have tried all different detergents (all HE) and all size loads and all settings including deep wash, two rinses, super wash and so on, the laundry comes out with white marks, dry spots (the section of the clothes that are folded do not get wet), and full of lint, fuzz and dog hair. My laundry comes out of the washer dirtier than it goes in. It is truly disgusting. I have contact customer service and sent them pictures and they eventually agreed to send a service representative. But the representative only tested if the washer was going through its cycles properly, he did not test to see how it washed clothes.

Kenmore front load connect washer and dryer - My wife is ready to kill me. I talked her into spending a lot of money on our new washer and dryer - man she could kill me. The washer takes long time and clothes still smell mildew and moldy, and we run the cleaner through it 2 times a week. The dryer never seems to get clothes dry and you just have to keep re-running them. I thought by paying a lot more for washer and dryer, we would be worry free - I couldn't be more wrong. I do not recommend them to anyone - better off throwing your money down the drain; own these and you will. And forget Sears to make anything right, you will be wasting your time.

I wish I had read all these reviews before I spent my money on the Sears Kenmore Elite washer. My Husband passed away and my Daughter's family invited me to live with them. I offered to do the laundry for the family and with 7 people I started to shop for a large capacity washer. I had had Sears washers in the past and never had a problem so when I went into the Sears store the sales person showed me the Kenmore Elite and told me It was what I was looking for. I was so excited and when it came 2 young men came in and threw it in place and hooked up the water and out they went. I put my first load in and within minutes I got the UE. I looked in the book to see what to do. I did not realize that it would keep filling up with water. I called a repair person and they told me I could fill the washer clear to the top. He balanced it and found that the men that hooked it up had the cold and hot water switched.

Model# 79631512210 - We purchased this "Elite" Washer from Sears approx. 2 years ago... Has been nothing short of a major pain in the A$$. This was set up by Sears technician on delivery, was set up level in all planes... No matter how small or how large the loads are, we can never get a load to successfully wash on the first try... Constantly get the "UE" error code, and have to play around with the laundry repeatedly to get the darn thing to finish a load. It should not have to take 3 to 4 hours to wash 1 load of laundry. Running up and down the stairs constantly, and wondering if the washing machine is working or not every single time we use it is not acceptable. Kenmore Washers, I know there are numerous people having the same problems with this model.. Please reach out to me if there is a recall, or if this can be replaced directly from you. Thank You.

Elite washing machine 31512 - I have never been upset enough to feel the need to review an appliance before. That being said, I bought this washing machine about 18 months ago for around $1,000 at Sears. Initially I was impressed with the features and the thought of it being "efficient", but slowly the washer started to become "unbalanced" on a regular basis. Then the laundry started to smell sour even after using the cleaning cycle with the proper cleaner. All of this was frustrating but somehow bearable until tonight, when I really needed to get some last minute laundry done and all it will do is display an error code "LE". This machine was way too expensive to be so horribly built. I will return to a different brand that has simple electromechanical dials and can properly drain the water so it doesn't make the laundry smell worse than when it went in. I called the Sears helpline and they recommended I sign up for $40 a month protection plan that still required me to pay $60 for them to show up and part costs!? This made no sense and just made me more upset. I will never buy anything from Sears again.

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.

In Aug 2013 I replaced my old Kenmore Front Load washer, that I had purchased in 2005, with the Kenmore Elite Model 41172211 Washer. My old Front loader had worked great most of the time. In the 8 years we had it I replaced a pump and had to replace a set of drum shocks but other than that it worked great. One thing I never had a problem with was mold and mildew growing in the washer. I very seldom had to clean it out and never worried about having to leave the door open. Our clothes were always cleaned very well.

I have a top load Kenmore elite washer. I bought it a couple of years ago replacing a 12 year old Whirlpool. It has been a real pain due to constant UE error (out of balance) about 50 to 70% of the time and usually when it's with towels and jeans. I am very close to replacing (not Kenmore). I never had such a problem before.

I want to say, I am a loyal Kenmore/Sears customer. However, this Elite top loader started out great but now is a major headache. First Kenmore product ever that we have had issues with. Whatever you do, do not interrupt the cycle at any time... If you do, you will be sorry. Constant unbalanced loads no matter the size of the load. All kinds of error codes and chimes going off from delayed drain which will stop the cycle entirely to latch lock malfunction, etc. You have to babysit this thing if you want to get your clothes done. It's a Kenmore Elite model number 29002000, which at one point I understand had a recall because the drum will become detached and damage everything in its path. "All good things must come to an end," they say. My good run with Kenmore products over decades has now come to an end. BEWARE!

I loved my Kenmore Elite washer at first, but started having problems within the first year. It got out of balance and my once whisper quiet washer became much louder. Then, it started smelling sour - even when I started leaving the door open after washes so it would dry out. Now, it's filling up with water between washes and I have to spin and drain each time before using it to empty out the water. Also, most times, the clothes are too damp after the wash cycle and then take too long to dry. They used to be practically dry before I put them in the dryer. To be fair, I've probably had this washer for 6 or so years, but I've gotten less and less happy as each year goes by.

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 don't 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 didn't 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.

Kenmore 3.8 cu. ft. Top-Load High-Efficiency Washer - This washer is a piece of junk! 2 months after the warranty expires, the washers starts malfunctioning. When it completes a load of wash and the complete light is on and the lid is unlocked, it takes about 3 minutes before it jumps back to the sensing light and tries to start washing a new load all by itself! It seems to wash clothes and spin out fine. But if you're not paying attention it's going to wash your clothes all over again! I will never ever buy a Kenmore washer again. Their quality and dependability has become non-existent.

I purchased a kenmore elite washer and dryer approximately 15 months ago, with a 1 year warranty. And immediately this LE sign came up on the washer. I figured that it was way more technologically ahead than my prior machine so I figured I wasn't using right. The past 15 months my wife has had to run the clothes through the machine twice. Because they would wash then the machine would shut down right before the machine would start its final spin, the clothes would be loaded with water and require a 20 minute run to complete the process. I now had to find out the hard way that there was a serious issue with it and paid 400 dollars for an extra year warranty. On top of all this, Sears continues to take their sweet time and changing the service date.

Do not purchase this Kenmore Elite washer. The washer constantly stops due to uneven loads. Customer service is worse than the washer. Saw several reviews where it's obviously a problem and have even had recalls on several models, but more concerned about selling home warranty than fixing the problem. Dryer is great though.

My wife and I have been faithful Kenmore customers for 15 years (as we're both of our parents) UNTIL NOW. Moving into our new home 7 years ago, we bought a top of the line, matching Kenmore Elite HE4 washer and dryer. They were more expensive than the competition, but looked great and had amazing features.

We purchased a Kenmore top-loading high efficiency clothes washing machine June 2013 in order to be more eco-friendly and save on the amount of water used. Although I always use the extra rinse to make sure any detergent is washed away, there has often been a white residue deposited on dark clothes. I use the HE All detergent. Over the plus year-and-a-half there has never been a problem with mold because I always leave the lid up and also sponge away any liquid left in the dispensing cups. What can I do about this white residue left on my dark clothes?

I purchased the Kenmore Elite top load washer in October 2013. Yes, a little late to complain now but I just finally bought another new washer and it made me think to do a review. DO NOT purchase this washer. Since the day we bought it, it has maybe been in balance no more than 10 times! It usually takes 2 hrs to wash a load. It has become the norm for us to switch it to drain and spin after fixing the out of balance 3 or 4 times per load.

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!!

I have a Kenmore Elite washer and the liquid bleach tub is getting rusted around the tub. When I called in for service, I was told that this was not covered under warranty, however, this seems to be a product defect. It will cost me a service call + additional charges for labor and parts. This is a product defect! Simple as that! I guess Kenmore does not stand by their product?

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. I've had tech out a total of 3 times and I'm now scheduled for a 4th appointment and I don't 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. I'm 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 didn't. I was told that this washer was recalled and I can definitely see why.

My 80 year old mother bought a new Kenmore washer and dryer from Sears June 30, 2011. The last 2 weeks, the operation has been sporadic, and as of today, it won't fill or run through a cycle. She bought these to replace a 12 year old washer and dryer. I called Sears helpline and they couldn't find any record and immediately wanted me to schedule a $79.00 service call. I was eventually put on hold while she "checked on something". 5 minutes later, another lady came on the phone and had no idea why I was calling. After some troubleshooting, she told me I needed either a control board or a lid switch and asked me again if I wanted to schedule a $79.00 service call.

A little over 14 years ago we purchased our one-piece stacked Kenmore Washer/Dryer from Sears for $599. Since then, I've used the unit nearly every day for our family. I just wanted to let you that it's working great and I'd recommend the Kenmore stacked Washer/Dryer to anyone. It's nice to know that in this day of disposable products the Sear stacked Washer/Dryer is a product I can depend on.

In March of 2012 we bought a Kenmore dishwasher. In August of 2012 the door latch had to be repaired due to a manufacturing defect. Today the upper rack assembly fell apart for about the 4th time, this time permanently. The one part that would fix it is not available on the replacement parts website. When you spend almost $900 on a new appliance you should be able to expect more reliability and more longevity. This thing is a piece of junk and we're getting rid of it. Sears used to be a reliable retailer. What happened? Shouldn't have to spend an average of more than $300/Year on something as simple as a dishwasher.

New owner of a Kenmore High Efficiency Top-Loading Washer. Little different than conventional washers so following instructions as always, seems very important. Our issue is that our clothes come out VERY wrinkled. This possibly wouldn't be a problem but my wife hangs our clothes outside on a clothesline. Therefore she has to iron everything. Being under the 30-day warranty a service tech is coming out to determine whether there is a problem with the washer or a correction can be made in doing our laundry which we hope happens. At this point, I'm not entirely certain I want a tech determining what course of action needs to be taken. Sticking with the washer or replacing it which is a warranty option.

Kenmore 700 series washer - Love it. Works great. Delivered when they said they would. Professional people and faultless install. Saves water. Tells me to the minute how long the wash will take so I can plan other things. Only question is that since I use non default settings all the time I was wondering if I could reset the defaults. I searched and couldn't find that answer.

My wife and I bought both Washer and Dryer on 10/20/11 and the washer had a recall and every scene they came out and did whatever they had to things have been crazy - the washer always gets out of balance. The other day the tub hit the front shell of the washer, it is a piece of scrap that should of went to a scrap yard for junk. The recall was for reprogram control unit.

We went to Sears to purchase a pair (washer and dryer combo) Kenmore Elite Top Loading Washer 79631623310 and a front loader dryer of the same brand. All of our appliances come from Sears and I believe every washer-dryer that we ever purchased in the 32 years of our marriage have been from Sears. My complaint is that clothes - sheets and anything that I put inside this new washer, comes very wrinkle. I never had experienced this before with any other machines. Same thing from the dryer (I just learned from the Sears service man that the washer is more to blame that the dryer.) I wrote a complaint in different boards including MY SEARS and a person from Sears called me; today I have a Sears service person in my house. I showed him clothes that I recently washed and dried, and he could see how wrinkle all of them they were. I had a pair of pants, shirts of different textures, t shirts, and sheets.

We bought a 110 series Kenmore washer in Jan 2013. Last week we noticed it was slowly dripping water into the tub. I researched and investigated everything and found out it is likely the inlet water valve. So I bought a new one for $50 and will replace it myself since it is easy to do. We're still very dissatisfied though. Our last Kenmore 110 washer lasted almost 20 years without a single repair before the motor burned out. That's why we bought another Kenmore but maybe we were just lucky with that one.

We purchased a Kenmore Elite washer and dryer front loader and after 7 years, the control panel went out on dryer. We called for service and the Tech said it would be cheaper to purchase a new dryer than to fix the one we have! I do not recommend this product.

This Kenmore top loading high Efficiency low Water washer #2130 is a piece of crap, always having problems with the balance. The machine is level on all sides. And we tried all to fix this problem to no avail. Bought at sears in Elliot Lake outlet store 6 months ago.

On March 24, 2011 I purchased a new Kenmore Washer Model #21102 and a matching dryer which I have yet to hook or use. The dryer that is, not the washer. The washer has been a problem from day one. In my opinion it's a design flaw on more than one account. The fins on this washer - and I'm not a newbie to washers I've had washers and dryers for over 50 years - and this the very first washer to tear clothing constantly and to get clothing lodged below the fins and thus tangle and tear them. It seemed to be more of a problem for my daughter so I was quite sure what was going on. Was it her or the washer but then it did the same for me.

We purchased a Kenmore Calypso Washer & Dryer in 2001/2002 at Sears after salesman highly recommended the new washing technique. We purchased an extended warranty on both, thank goodness. The serviceman had to come out several times regarding both machines, most often the washer. The motherboard went out once or twice, clothes smell, some clothing getting caught under wash tub and marks on clothes. Our darks get white streaks, our whites have gotten horribly gray so much I won't even buy light clothing anymore. I do throw in 1/2-1 cup of baking soda with the loads to help with the smell. The dryer will sometimes take 2-4 cycles to get clothes dry. Finally now my washer went out. After reading all these comments I see there was a recall which I knew nothing about. I had actually extended the warranty a 2nd time before it expired. Sears would have known about a recall at that point. I am very disappointed and will not buy a Kenmore or Whirlpool product again.

For 75 days I have had a Kenmore washer that has not worked properly. I waited one month for a repairman to say it is broken. A month later a repairman came. The part shipped was damaged. A new part arrived a week later. After four hours, they installed the part only to break another one. Now waiting for a repairman this Friday. I can't use my machine at all now. The Helpline says they can't help.

Kenmore Elite Oasis He Repair - Purchased this washer about 6 years ago. For the last 3 years has had difficulty filling and draining. My clothes come out dingy and dry in places at times. Takes 10-12 days for repair appt. When a part is needed and not on the truck, it's another 10-12 days to order a part, then another 10-12 days to book a repair appt. That means no washer for 2-4 weeks for each repair. Going to the laundromat for 10 loads gets old. Sears warranty replacement guarantee only kicks in if a major part was replaced 5 times in a calendar year. They have been out several times for the problem, but because no major part replaced it doesn't count. Have gone to Customer Care numerous times without success. Frustrating.

HATE, HATE, HATE! It's the worst! I have to do the downward dog yoga pose to reach the laundry down, down, deep in the bottom of the washer, the blood rushing to my head, and then wrench my lower back as I haul the heavy, wet clothes up. The "control" panel doesn't give the owner any control at all! I need to let my antique monogrammed white linen sheets soak in soapy water before beginning a gentle wash cycle. Every time I pause the wash cycle to allow for soaking, all of the soapy water drains out of the washer and I have to start all over again, wasting gallons, and gallons of hot water. And if you want to add an item of clothing or more soap, you're out of luck - the machine is locked up like Fort Knox. I HATE this machine SO much - hate, hate, hate.

We bought this washer in ginger color and it started to rust in the top around the soap dispenser. We contacted Sears and we were told that rusting was not covered in their warranty, and they wanted us to buy their additional warranty policy. The washer has continued to rust and it looks terrible. I believe that they didn't put a protective seal on the paint. The washer and dryer are in an inside laundry room.

We bought this HE Kenmore Elite top load washer several years ago. First we noticed that the thing just didn't clean the clothes well--- whites were coming out gray, etc. Then it started getting loud during the spin cycle. I don't mean noisy-- I mean LOUD. I looked on the Internet and found many complaints about this-- apparently the bearings are often defective and go bad quickly. The cost to replace is more expensive than just replacing it with a standard washer that actually cleans clothes.

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 husband's 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 can't 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 can't leave the door closed or the smell is disgusting, but then you worry about the rubber seal drying out.

Kenmore Washer Model No. 796.40318900. Shortly after purchasing the very expensive washer it started leaking water. Why, no explanation given from sears. Then we started getting "dE" which means "door error". Since I was busy working we decided to get sears out to repair. I should have done it myself! They send tech out a week later and just used the code given to swap out parts without really troubleshooting the root cause of problem. They replace the door switch for $240.00. Three days later it has the same "dE" and at this point I am livid at myself and sears. IF it's the same part that went bad they would fix it under the 90 warranty on that part, if it's something else they would charge me again. Just swapping out parts is not a reliable way to troubleshoot a problem. That's just the easiest way sears probably trains their techs.

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. It's 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.

Sears Kenmore front loading washer and dryer with service agreement. Machines frequently broken. Under service agreement it takes a minimum of 3 weeks to get machines repaired and sometimes as long as 6. Service appointments are in 8 hour window disrespecting time of the consumer. I will not purchase any additional Kenmore appliances as I am tired of frequent breakdowns and long time until the machines are repaired.

I'll try to be as fair as I can without cursing. I really, really HATE my Kenmore high efficiency washing machine. It takes literally hours if not the whole day to wash a single load. And when the cycle complete light says it's done and I open the lid, I'm usually looking at a load that has not spun and is soaking wet. I've tried every setting and I'm constantly having to come back to the machine to check if it's going o.k. I thought by purchasing this machine I would save on water but instead, I end up rewashing loads and wasting time. It's a nightmare. It's a fairly new machine and I'm already considering taking it to the dump and buying a new one. I wouldn't want to donate it. Nobody deserves a machine like this. I've had family members ask me how I like my machine because they needed a new one. I told them not to buy the high efficiency ones. I told them the truth. I HATE IT! I will never ever buy another one like this or recommend it to anyone. It may even deter me from buying Kenmore products too.

My washer stopped at or before the Spin cycle on a normal wash load with a SD (suds detected) error. I ran through the rinse and spin hoping to finish the load, no luck. Then took all the clothes out to run a "clean washer" cycle. This did not help nudge the machine back into entering a spin cycle on my next attempt at a normal wash load.

Washer twisted clothes almost from the beginning. After a period of time washer would be unbalanced. Replaced the suspension rods and found out there was a recall for that problem.

Started getting PF error. Wife called for support. No one could provide support nor did they want to. Said it was against policy to provide troubleshooting, but they would be happy to set up an appointment for around $129. The washer only has a 1 yr warranty. Anything that you pay more than $500 for should cover parts for at least 3yrs. The staff at Sears stated, "you should have got the extended warranty babe, nothing is made like it used to and your lucky if it last 3 yrs." I was able to reset and get it going for a few days but it has stopped working again. Believe there is an issue with the control panel.

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.

My Kenmore elite washing is only six years old and the computer in it stopped working. I don't feel I should have to pay approximately $400 to get it repaired nor should I have to replace my machine with a new one at my expense. I have read many many complaints regarding this machine due to the same problem, the computer board not working. I have been buying Kenmore products from Sears for many many years but I am very disappointed in this washing machine. I will not buy nor will I recommend Kenmore products to anyone unless Kenmore/Sears replaces my broken washing machine with a new one.
