Where can I find instructions for stacking the Kenmore Model 417-42142100 washer and dryer?

Thanks, Cheryl

Does Kenmore and Whirlpool share Pedestals?

NewKenmore — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 04:49:29 GMT

I am about to buy a Kenmore Elite White HE3t Stream set and also a pair of Kenmore 15.5 pedestals. I have been browsing on-line and was wondering if a Whirlpool XHP1550VW will fit the HE3t Stream? In other words, are the Kenmore Model #57822 the same as the Whirlpool XHP1550VW?

NO PRICE MATCH

aaaahhhhh: neither store carried the item, but you wanted a price match? and that sounds like "doublespeak"? have you cleaned your ears lately?

NO PRICE MATCH

grazzzy — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 02:14:53 GMT

I've never had a problem with the price match at Sears. If a competitor in the area offers it for lower, it can't be clearance or seconds and it MUST BE AVAILABLE at the store. Anyone who thinks sears is underhanded isn't reading the Terms and Conditions of the price match policy.

Frigidaire Dryer Motor won't start

hugo954 — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:49:07 GMT

Hello,

I have a Frigidaire Gallery 7.0 cu. ft. super capacity dryer. When you press the START button the dryer makes a "humming" sound and the motor won't turn. This dryer is only a year and a half old, I've tried turning the unit off and on, I've also flipped the circuit breaker off and on and it still has the same problem.

Has this occurred to anyone as well, with this or any other unit?

NO PRICE MATCH

I'm unsure what you're asking of us. Should we support breaking the rules that are printed on every sale flyer, published on sears.com, and explained in person by any sales associate at any Sears store? Should we just give people whatever price they're asking for, whether it qualifies based on the clearly stated policy or not? Which rules do people have to follow and which ones don't they? Is it everyone else who has to follow the rules, or do people only have to follow the rules they like? I'm afraid I can't agree that living up to exactly what we say we will do is "cheating and lying."

I'm amazed at how many of you have posted your lie's about price matching! And trying to defend these companies. As Dr Nick from ok said sears as well as several other companies and i'm guessing from alot of the responses alot of you work for these companies, well shame on you. If you can sleep at night making consumers feel bad that they are trying to survive in these difficult times then i'm glad i do not have to face my maker with your behavior. I have several family members working retail and i see the writing on the wall. This is part of what has taken this country to where it is today. Is by cheating and lying to the consumers and then making them feel guilty when they call them into question. All I can say is shame on you who have the nerve to call these consumers liers and cheats!

Best Shallow Depth Washer & Dryer

BlueCrewGuyInMA — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:28:40 GMT

Bosch has some machines that are shallow, but they require 240v for the washer. If that's not a problem, check out the Bosch Axxis machines. Otherwise, check out Kenmore 48102 or Frigidaire 32212 on sears.com.

Did I mess up buying this washer?

BlueCrewGuyInMA — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:02:11 GMT

You'll be pleased with your new washer. The issues with the older machines have been addressed and are no longer a problem. If there was anything inherently problematic with the machine, I wouldn't have sold it to one of our store's managers as well as her brother.

Maytag Washers/Dryers

BlueCrewGuyInMA — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:58:33 GMT

Today's Maytag is much more like the Maytag upon which it built its reputation, and very unlike the Maytag of the years leading up to the Whirlpool buyout. They're very good products and you can buy them with confidence.

Everything that I have read says that I have to remove the drum but I can't find how to do that.

Maytag Washers/Dryers

DorisBoeker — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:44:44 GMT

Now that Whirlpool has taken over the Maytag corp. are they making the same quality of

machines that Maytag did. I have used Maytag for years with excellent results but may need to buy a new one soon.

I've decide I'm taking it, I was hoping some of those things have been addressed.

Thanks for the reply.

DON'T BUY THE 'WATER SENSOR' 800 SERIES KENMORE.

We like to control our own water level and if one opens during cycle it then FILLS to TOP. crazy. who designed this? I sent mine back; used it ONCE. $526.00 !!

I want the QUIET one but not at the cost of water...

Best Shallow Depth Washer & Dryer

We are looking for recommendations for the best shallow depth front-load washer & dryer as our laundry area isn't very big. Know that our options are limited so would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

Top load Kenmore elite washer

Vson — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 17:40:06 GMT

Bought a new washer dryer set in 2003 which replaced a kenmore 90 series set. Never have been happy with the washer model # 110 24054300 quiet pak III since day one. Sometimes it will spin quietly sometimes noisily. No matter if it is a small load or a large load. It just roars or hums when ever it feels like it or whatever mood it is in. Had a repairman come out and say all washers were noisy. Should have kept the older set. Did a online repair troubleshoot and they told me it sounded like a defective clutch. Any reccomendations? This washer makes the chore dreaded! One time, a guest said "Your washer is loud, huh?"

Fire in the dryer

AdamO — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 17:21:04 GMT

Which dryer model?

Who installed it?

What caught fire?

Electrical or gas machine?

Any ideas on how you might not have anything else "catch fire" in your dryer?

This is a really rare thing to happen in a laundry machine.

Did a bulld up of lint catch fire?

Did you take pictures?

Yikes! Thats horrible! Where did the fire come from? The electrical connection? Lint Trap? I hope you called the service line about it.

MAYTAG Centennial Washer MVWC6ESWW

SayWHO — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:29:45 GMT

BlueCrew: Basically you are not listening.

VoiceOfReason, you couldn't be any more right! I would be ranting all over the place if a tech continued to argue with me in this manner. What nonsense!! I suppose they DON'T want you to open the lid to see the thing nearly running over. LESS BOTHER FOR THEM! I despise wasting water. Maybe I need to call a repairman to fix my 35 year-old-plus washer instead of buying one of these horrors.
