The last “Kenmore(washer and dryer)” we bought was 2 POSs and died w/in 2 years.
Really? Ours are second or third hand and work like a charm.
And that’s sad. When I was a kid, we had a Kenmore refrigerator which lasted throughout my childhood and teen years.
We bought a Sears washer, dryer and fridge when we bought our first home in 1971. We schlepped them all over the country, during many transfers, and they were invincible. Collectively they lasted at least 20 years with virtually 0 repairs.
Our Sears is struggling and I think the only thing that keeps it alive is The Land’s End brand. What always bothers me is that their glass doors are always filthy.
That's because "Kenmore" washers and dryers are nothing more than re-branded Whirlpool machines manufactured to a Sears (cheapened) specification.
Anyone with a lick of sense would steer well away from the "Kenmore" brand.
