My Kenmore dryer has been running since 1984!
Why did Sears purchase the failing K-Mart???
It'll last even longer if you only run it when there's laundry in it :-)
My parents swore by Sears appliances. I remember being somewhat saddened when we went to visit my mother several years ago and discovered she had given away a Sears fan she purchased in 1961! That thing worked without a serious hitch for more 50 years. Sears washers and dryers - we had them for decades when I was young. Craftsmen tools galore in the garage.
And now Sears is dying. It’s sad.
