Kenmore Washer and Dryer — 

We purchased a Kenmore He2 washer & dryer a little over a year ago with our stimulus check.  So far both work fine & are reliable except the washer shakes quite a bit on high spin. Usually a little less clothes &/or balancing out where the towels or similar items in the load are, help the washer to shake less.HE detergent works fine. Found less expensive brands than Tide to use. We use Wisk or Purex. Washer cleans clothes very well. Dryer dries great. Washed & dried our quilts & they came out great! I like the wrinkle guard on the dryer in case I can't get clothes out right away. We didn't get the pedastals, too expensive.

sorry to hear that, maybe just look for someone who' s selling older type washer & dryer inexpensively, we did that a while back & they worked fine for long time, don't know what else to tell you, maybe in yellow pages there someone who can come out & look at it, prob a charge, find out ahead of time how much, then would it be better for them to look at yours or get inexpensive older model

I unplugged for 24 hours and still received the F20 code when I tried to do laundry. I'm about ready to buy a wringer washer and scrub board and say to goodbye to the new way of during laundry and say hello to the years gone by....

Actually that F20 code was one of the first codes we got on the machine, even though water was hooked up fine. Wasn't sure if it was due to fact we forgot to do the 1st cycle w/out clothes in it. We unplugged the washer & then plugged it back in & the code went away. IF you haven't tried unplugging it since the code appeared, try it. It's kind of like resetting it.

Count your blessings! Purchased an HE5T worked great for a while until the warranty ran out. Now it won't complete a full cycle due to a F20 code(insufficient water supply).
