I bought a Maytag washer/dryer set in Dec. 2002 which never worked, and when the washer finally stopped working this December I bought a new set. This time I got smart, bought from Sears, and got a Kenmore front loader. Because Consumer Reports said to.
A month ago, the dryer stopped working. It took them a week and a bit to get a guy out here. He looked at it and told me the motor was burned out. It came in three weeks later, and the tech was here today to replace it.
I just tried using it. It sounds like the dryer is grinding rocks and metal- a gawdawful sound. I am leaving tomorrow for Minneapolis. The customer service lady says it will be fixed by the time I get back home, but I am not in my Happy Place.  |

That sucks. Hope they get it right this time. We bought a Whirlpool set a while back and love them. |

I bought the Whirlpool set too. I still love mine. A coworker bought the kenmore set. Her dryer just had an extended visit with the repairman. Fortunately the warranty on them is a long one.

It's quite possible that that Kenmore might have been manufactured for them by Maytag.
I buy a lot of appliances at Sears, but I always ask them who made the models I'm looking at before I buy. My washer/dryer is a Whirlpool. My refrigerator is Amana and my dishwasher is KitchenAid. Yet all of them have the Kenmore name on them.

It's amazing who makes the items. And surprising at the same time. It's a good sign of a salesman/woman if they can tell you who actually makes the products.

Sorry to hear about the trouble with your set. That really can put you in a mood when things are not working right.

This set is the Whirlpool one, and right up until it broke, I just loved it. I'd still love it if it only worked.  |

Dang! I hope this is just a bump and not a mountain pass on the road--

Any news on this one? Or, are you still out of town?

Oops, I'd forgotten about this. The service guy came while I was gone and fixed it. He said i had lint stuck in the trap- but it took nearly 1 1/2 hours to fix it, and the metallic clanging sound disappeared. I know there was no lint in it- I'm paranoid about lint fires in dryers- but I don't know what was really wrong. However, it's working again.  |

That's good that you didn't have to buy a new one!
