Sears
Kenmore Elite Oasis HE washer — model 27082 - Kenmore Washe

We purchased one of Sears ’ top-of-the line Kenmore Elite Oasis HE washers — model 27082. Not only were there significant load-balancing problems causing extremely loud rocking, when the Sears repairmen came to repair the knocking and rocking problem, we discovered that the entire interior frame was completely corroded (not rusted, but corroded!) The appearance of the interior frame was like that of a washer that had been abandoned and exposed in a junkyard for the past two decades. The balancing problems and corrosion were so severe that their own Sears servicemen recommended that I purchase a new washer (from Sears, of course). My new tile floor was ruined from the rust and corrosion.

Most infuriating, Sears’ dishonest Customer Service Department was never forthright in revealing that these high-priced Elite Oasis HE washing machines were overburdened with significant mechanical problems. My brother-in-law showed me the product reviews for this washer and I was stunned! I requested a refund for this “lemon, ” and the Sears Customer Service Department made a magnanimous offer to resolve this problem with a 10% discount on another Sears washer, which is truly preposterous. Sears has proven that they are hardly inclined to stand by their products. Over the past 30 years, I’ve been a regular Sears customer, but I will never buy another Sears appliance.

I will be joining the class action suit against Sears for (1) deceitful salesmen not being truthful when asked about the quality of their products, (2) gross product negligence, (3) damage to my floors, and (4) concealing any knowledge of these problems.
