Who Makes Kenmore Washers?

When you are browsing through your various washer choices, you might have heard of Kenmore brand at one time or another. In fact, if you are shopping in one of the biggest appliance stores today which is Sears, you will surely find this brand in their lists of washing machine brands. That is because this is mainly sold by Sears.

Kenmore Appliances are produced by the popular Whirlpool Corporation who has given us other appliances as well such as washing machines and refrigerators.

Whirlpool is one of the largest when it comes to manufacturing appliances and their products have already reached far and wide. You can say that Kenmore is one of their pawns in this game.

Kenmore 70 Series Washers

One of the oldest lines of washing machines today. This has sparked a frenzy back in the 1970s mainly because of its efficiency in washing. But despite the lack of modern touches we can usually see in the washing machines manufactured today, this one still does a great job in the primary purposes of washing machines—getting rid of the dirt in your laundry.

According to some consumers, this works even better than the newer and more modern machines today. They have not had many problems with the mechanisms of this washer and little maintenance and repairs were needed.

One caveat would probably be the noise. Since it lacks the direct drive motor technology often seen in washers today and since this machine was developed some time in the past, you can’t really expect it to work in super quite features.

Kenmore 80 Series Washers

After the 70 Kenmore Washers series, the more updated 80 series washing machines were introduced. These Kenmore washers offer top load washing machine efficiency.

In general, those who have purchased this commends its ability to wash their clothes. In fact, some of the previous brands are still being used today and users will not likely give it up for the more modern brands of washers and dryers.

Just like the previous line, this boasts of durable line of washers that can last for many years with minimal or zero repairs. It comes with heavy duty stain clothes settings that clear the dirt and stubborn stains from your laundry so all of it will come out pristine clean.

Also, the super plus capacity of this line of washers accommodates huge amounts of laundry. If you have a big family and you find the capacity of washers today somewhat lacking, you might want to zero your sights on this one.

Kenmore 90 Series Washers

This is the most popular series of Kenmore washers as it has more modern features compared to the first ones. It still has the trademark efficiency and durability the first two series offer. The engineering methods of Kenmore still remain simple. Even if some parts are faulty, you can replace it with ease.

Its cleaning prowess did not fade over the past few years. If anything, clothes come out cleaner even with little use of energy, detergent and water. In comparison to those other brands of top load washers, this is a good choice because it can save you much on energy, water and detergent.

There are some complaints about its inability to spin and drain properly. One of the most common problems of Kenmore (and even Whirlpool) products are the motor coupler.

If your Kenmore 90 series suddenly does not spin quite as efficiently as before, you need only to check the motor coupler if it is still intact. Usually, when it stops spinning, that means the coupler is broken. Just replace it with a new one. Replacement coupler does not cost a lot in hardware stores today.

Conclusion

Some of the Kenmore washers are already phased out and you cannot easily find them in the market today. But some people will readily buy second hand machines from the older models rather than buy newer ones primarily because they want to avoid complications in the future.

And it is interesting to note that this brand of washer provides the least complications. If you are interested in finding any of the Kenmore series because of its reliability and efficiency, be sure to check out the whole goods first especially when you are buying it second hand.
