Kenmore Washer Timer Failed Two Weeks After Warranty and Repair Quoted High

Shops, Products, Services

2 weeks after the warranty (54 weeks after purchase) the timer on our Kenmore "Elite" washer started stalling during the cycle. It is intermittent. Used to be a washer would last many years. Not a Kenmore these days. The service technician gave us the estimate of $274.59. That is about half the cost of the washer. We paid the service call and sent him away. The part price quote was 156.63, and their website price is $120.49. Needless to say, we are (after almost 40 years) NOT Sears customers anymore.

If they cared to look up how much we have spent with Sears, tools, lawn tractor, etc, etc, you will see it's quite a bit. I fully intend to post this note online, so others might avoid Sears in the future. Sears products are DESIGNED to last just past the warranty period. Seems more money is made on extended warranties than one would guess.
