katyea says "Plagued with Problems" about Kenmore Elite Steam HE5 Dryer

Already had the repair guys out 5 times in 3 months. The concrete weight broke in half, the drum struts stretched out, it jumped all over the place and scratched up the side of the washer. NOISY and unable to maintain proper balance! I can't get the famous Sears service to fix it right! Will never buy Kenmore again!

sit2700 says "Elite H3 dryer has similar problem- bad door - twice!" about Kenmore Elite Steam HE5 Dryer

My family had a matched pair of Kenmore Heavy Duty 70 Series which last 20+ years and still running fine (besides the dryer's solenoid had to be replaced that cost me 15.00) - My wife finally got tired of same old top loaders so she decided to toss out the old trusty machines and settle with these flashy and new look front loaders - I went on-line and did some research; although reading horrible story (which included this one) but based on our previous good experience with Kenmore products (we own Kenmore freezers too) we went on and bought the smaller model Kenmore Elite H3 dryer (along with the Elite H5t washer) since the local Sears only carried the H5 steam dryer. Upon delivery, the first one and had similar problem the same night - we called in and had the replacement delivered. Still experienced the same problem - door upper part has to be pushed to latch to get it to run. From my observation, the dryer bowed door was not poperly aligned when mold was created at the...

bwjj931 says "Kenmore Elite HE5 Steam Dryer .. best purchase EVER!!" about Kenmore Elite Steam HE5 Dryer

I have never been happier with a dryer in my life.. this baby has it all!! The Kenmore Elite HE5 Steam dryer has auto cycles with include.. normal, bulky/bedding, jeans, heavy duty, casual, and ultra delicate. You then have your steam cycles, which are great... steam in a dryer.. fabulous!! The refresh cycle and the touch-up cycles both use steam along with the heat of your dryer to smooth out wrinkles or freshen up clothes. And there is no filling water tanks in the Kenmore Elite HE5 Steam dryer for it's steam cycles..no sir.. all you have to do is attach it directly to your water line in your laundry area with the enclosed adapter which will allow you to have both the washer and dryer attached at the same time. Have kids? If so, I'm sure you've washed their shoes only to have them clunck around in the dryer or sit out somewhere waiting for them to dry well if you have the Kenmore Elite HE5 Steam dryer, no more clunking for you!! A rack is included with your dryer for clothes...

LovingDahlias says "It's drying with more options and space." about Kenmore Elite Steam HE5 Dryer

LovingDahlias — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 20:10:56 GMT

We bought the Kenmore he5 dryer with a companion Kenmore front-loading washer two and a half years ago and I enjoy them both. Regarding the dryer, there are many options and temperatures to choose from. To save even more energy, you can opt to set the alarm to beep when the clothes are considered "damp" via internal sensors. I've used this in the summer or when drying sensitive materials that I don't want "completely dry". This dryer also has the added benefit of drying fabrics that aren't supposed to go in the dryer. It comes with a drying rack that you can set up inside the barrel (locks into place) and then set a very minimum temperature to circulate inside the dryer as it drys the item you have layed out on the drying rack. While this is a nice feature, you can't put much on the tray; one sweater or a few smaller items at best. I've never used the feature. You have to buy the under-storage drawer separate from the dryer. If you are stacking them, this isn't an issue...

Well, here is the deal. My self and my wife are very busy. We don't irion..

This is the greatest investment we both could have made.. I makes the fabric look like you spent time with an irion in your hand.....

The Kenmore Elite Steam Dryer is big enough to fit a king size comforter,with enough space to put something else in it, but perfect enough to fit in a apartment. Also, does not consume a lot of energy and it is silent. Worth every penny....

The Kenmore elite steam HE5 is yet another Kenmore i love. I will continue to purchase these dryers. I have been washing clothes in mine for the last thirty days. I absolutely love it. Kenmor makes the best dryers. My clothes come out fresh from the steam everytime i put a load in. I never have to worry about my clothes becoming wrinkled when they are done. I aslo save money i my electricity bill every month because of the dryer. My family comes to my house and asks to use it sometimes. They always end up saying they want to take it home!

follenJ says "so awesome" about Kenmore Elite Steam HE5 Dryer

follenJ — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 21:41:57 GMT

This is one of the best things to own. Having children and all the messes they make being able to wash 3 loads at once is very helpful. It may seem pricy but in the end you are really saving money! Best place to go is sears they really do seem to have the best price on this product. If your looking for a new washer/dryer this is it no more looking go get it!...

nic35 says "ABSOLUTELY FLAWED, DEFECTIVE, POOR QUALITY!!" about Kenmore Elite Steam HE5 Dryer

nic35 — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 18:06:17 GMT

NIGHTMARE EXPERIENCE!!! I am a home remodel company owner, interior designer and real estate investor who has purchased many many appliances from Sears for my other real estate holdings. This product however, was for my own home! i purchased this Kenmore Elite HE 5 dryer from my local Sears store and then set up delivery. Here's where the nightmare begins..Upon the delivery of this dryer the Sears drivers/installers we noticed door was bowed and not aligned properly. The Sears employees did a trial run on the appliance to see if it worked correctly. The door would not remain closed and kept popping open everytime they ran dryer and would turn itself off as a result of the bowed misaligned door. They then scheduled a delivery for another dryer. Drivers called Sears and Sears said it would be next week to get another one! Second time around drivers show up with dryer, and door is bowed and misaligned also, same problem as first with front loader door, and hinges. Third attempt now...

I also bought the matching washer. I can't recommend this set enough not to mention I lucked out and was able to purchase the discontinued Pacific Blue color in both for 50% off the white color for a savings of $1400 dollars. The fearures on both are outstanding not to mention they are quiet and energy efficient saves....
