Kenmore Washer and Dryer Review

In the summer of 2007, I bought a Sears Kenmore Premium Washer model 11024942301. In the late autumn of 2009, it vibrated so bad, we thought the basket would fly out of the housing and kill someone.

Today, Nov. 7, 2009, the Sears service technician said it needs a new gearcase, a new basket drive, a new sub-coupler, and a new block-drive, which, with labor, would cost $545.00.!!!

My previous washer was a Whirlpool and lasted 25 years. I figured that a Kenmore would be just as good, since it is made by Whirlpool. But everything is made in China now, so shopping for Chinese products is like throwing your money away.

Don't buy Sears Kenmore Premium washers until they start making them in the USA again.
