Kenmore Elite

The Kenmore Elite dishwasher is a solid choice for your home. It runs whisper quiet, while delivering sparkling clean dishes. It is so quiet that you may find yourself with an uncontrollable urge to open the door and make sure it is running. Go ahead, treat yourself. You'll find water and steam flying in every direction.

The Kenmore Elite is an elegant, low profile dishwasher. I know. You're thinking, "it's a dishwasher. how can it be elegant?" Well, the only thing exposed on the door of the dishwasher is a sleek handle and three tiny light bulbs that let you know the status of your dishwasher. It's a very sleek look, one that will even inspire you to show your new dishwasher to friends.

The control panel is on the top of the dishwasher door, and features enough options for you to customize every aspect of the washing cycles. Such options include; which spray jets you would like to use, would you like to steam sanitize the dishes, what level of heat would like to use both to wash and to dry the dishes, and there is a wide range of wash cycles from which to chose.

All in all, the Sears, Kenmore Elite dishwasher is the best dishwasher I've ever owned, and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Main Pump failure
by: CJ

Another statistic . Bearing on main pump went after 4.5 years . Obviously bad manufacturing / design.

Will not buy Kenmore again .

Hopefully you read this before making the same mistake I did .

Junk
by: Anonymous

Lasted 4 years now dead in the water and not about to deal with sears repair process. Get what you pay for. Have a Bosch which is still going strong after 12 years!!! Never thought there could be such a difference. Don't always trust consumer reports is the take home message here

Kenmore Elite - Motor Bearing fail
by: Toronto On

Luckily, my Kenmore Elite Dishwasher held out 4 years before the bearing failed. The motor sounds like a blender, with a container full of rocks. Thankfully, I can save the $500+ it would have cost to fix this piece of junk, and spend a few bucks more to get a better unit. Kenmore is NOT on my 'consideration' list.

Kenmore Elite

In the 3 years we have had this dishwasher, it has gone through 2 motors. Faulty seals seem to be the cause. I'm not impressed with this unit.

Kenmore Elite Motor Failure
by: Anonymous

My Elite washer was only 3 years, 6 months old when the motor began to fail. Sears sold me a warranty for $204 that replaced the motor. Hopefully the issue was fixed and this motor won't fail. The motor was manufactured in Korea by LG. Go figure.

Do not buy
by: Anonymous

Same problem - the seal around the motor shaft leaks and will rust the bearings or leak on the floor. My first motor failed at 12 months and was replaced by Sears. Second failed after 24 months with the same problem. It was 6 days out of warrentee and Sears would not replace. If you buy a Kenmore Elite dishwasher IT WILL FAIL.

main motor bearing failure
by: Anonymous

Our 5-year-old Kenmore Elite dishwasher has been making a steadily increasing grinding noise for past 5 weeks or so. Sears sent a repair man over( $100) who told us that the motor was finished. Over 400$ to repair. Will be taking Sears to small-claims court for selling a product that is poorly designed allowing water to infiltrate the main motor bearing assembly. Stand up to this corporation! Only continuous and loud bad publicity seems to work with these outfits.

Don't buy
by: Anonymous

Well I think that Kenmore Elite is junk. I have had two of them. The first one lasted 2.5 years and the second one lasted 2.25 years. There was a leak in the seal and the water went through and rusted the bearings. My husband took it apart and the motor and bearing is so cheap. Never again will I buy Kenmore!
