When we purchased our home (built in 2006) in 2007 the previous owner left the fridge, washer,dryer, and dishwasher. They were all brand new top of the line kenmore and Whirlpool. Every last one of them has failed to the point they no longer work. At all. I just replaced them all with samsung stuff. (love there appliances). So 3,500 dollars later were good to go. That was my built transmission Money! Theres no reason for a appliance to fail in an measly 4-5 years. If your shoping for appliances Stay away from kenmore junk.
