Kenmore 3.5 cu. ft. Front-Load Washer, White Reviews
The machine is good at cleaning but has a long list of pet peeves:
slow to get going - it spins, squirts water which then rattles my pipes, spins more, squirts water, rattles pipes, etc.
I'm concerned about tendency for front loaders to grow mold and have a gross smell so I leave the door and detergent drawer open after each use to dry out.
I can't get the lint trap at the bottom opened.
hair/lint sticks to the door and door seal.
it takes twice as long to wash my clothes
difficult to remove clothes from washer without dropping something on the floor as they all want to come out at once.
But...

We bought this washer in 2007. We had always owned Kenmores and loved them, and this is the washer that will keep me from ever buying a Kenmore (and maybe buying from Sears) in the future.
The computer panel started making beeping noises within months, and the Sears technicians suggested that we just continually unplug it and restart. Climbing over the washer every few days was not appealing to me. We had paid for the Master Protection Agreement, and finally we insisted they replace the computer panel.
That fixed the beeping, but the start button became harder and harder to push. Sometimes we just...
read full review »This machine washes clothes very well, It is quit most of the cycles you can hardly hear it running, but there is one cycle that is a little noisy not. Like most of the reviews you do have some maintenance, like draining the soap tray that gets about a shot glass worth of water in it. We just pull it out and dump it in the sink. You also should dry the door seal and inside of the door. We leave the door open to air it out after using it but close it later. There is a screen and drain on the bottom that needs to be checked for debris. It comes with a quick guide with a suction cup that you can...
read full review »We bought one of these after reading about it in a consumer magazine. Excellent washer! The only negative thing is the door is not able to be hung on the right side and there is no light in the machine. It is quiet and extremely good at what it does. Cut drying time by half! We did have another brand of front loader, but after 8 years, the bearings were going out and it became noisy and inefficient. First Kenmore appliance and we love it.
I bought one of the washers and dryers after good reviews from ****************. The washer, overall, does well for getting clothes wash and saving on water. There are several problems though with these washers.
- The controler board often fails - which controls the cleaning of the washer. This is a frequent issue, one that Sears/Kenmore does not seem to have a desire to actually fix. The net result is that in time, if you leave the door close, you will get mold/mildew inside of the drum ring which will become very tough to clean.
- Small objects, such as coins & infant socks, somehow get sucked...
I bought this washer and loved it. It really cleaned my clothes wonderfully. The features were great and I saved money on water and detergent. BUT... It started leaking after owning it for just 4 years. I had the Sears repair man take a look at it and he said the part to fix it would be almost $600!! I paid $69 dollars for him to tell me that! I'd never buy another one!
