Kenmore Washer - Oasis HE Reviews

My husband and I purchased the Kenmore Elite Oasis Washer HE two years ago when we built our house. We purchased the Kenmore brand becuase we have always trusted Sears and we also purchased this particular washer because we wanted an energy star washer. Within the first year we had the washer we had to have service on it and have the entire electrical panel replaced (thank goodness it was under warranty). Well, guess what, we had to have service on our washer again. It just stopped working and of course it wasn't under warranty. My husband called Sears for service and just for someone to come and...

I moved from an apartment into a home with a Kenmore Elite Oasis HE washer.  A really long and fancy name for a big hunk of crap!  The crappy little washers in the laundry mat at my apartment were leaps and bounds better than this thing.  The washer literally stinks and so do my clothes.  I press every button I can to try to get my clothes clean.  For example:  Heavy Duty Wash, Heavily Soiled, warm/warm, stain treat, prewash, and autosoak, extra rinse----and my clothes still are not clean when they come out!  We are talking about close to an 80 minute wash time here!

Kenmore Elite - Oasis Washer & Dryer

For the money spent and value received, this is the worst purchase I have ever made.  The washer, at totally random times, flashes error codes on the display, beeps and beeps until the power cord is pulled, and best of all, IT WILL TURN ITSELF ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, THEN START BEEPING, FLASHING ERROR CODES, AND SLOSHING WATER AROUND!  The first time this happened I was sitting close to it in my office late at night and it scared the %#$@ out of me.  Now it's happened so many times I just have to laugh!  I've had the warranty board replacement...

OK, so the deal is this...I purchased this machine and it's sister dryer through sears. I couldnt wait to use HE machines and I was super excited. I have been in my new house now for 3 weeks. Sears has been here to service it 3 times. Do the math, that is one time per week. They fix it...I do four loads...it dies again....and then the cycle continues OVER and OVER again. Needless to say, they were just here literally 3 days ago. It's broken again. This time I'm sending it back! I really wanted them to work...kept saying, they will get it right this time...the last service guy to come out actually...

When shopping for a new washer and dryer, I knew that I wanted high efficiency models, but also new I had limited options because of the size of our laundry area.  The top-of-the -line front loaders are just too big for many older homes with built-in laundry closets.  At Sears I was directed towards the Oasis HE Canyon Capicity, which at first glance looks like a standard washer, but is huge inside!  It works like the HE front loaders, but is sized more like a traditional model.  It fits in my space, and it gets my laundry done in half the loads while offering the other benefits of High Efficiency...
