Kenmore 15962 / 15964 Top Load Washer

Pros: Extra large capacity tub, many contol features
Cons: I really can't find any cons with this product which is unusual for me.

My Maytag washer finally bit the dust and refused to work anymore. The motor completely burnt out. My daughters rented a Frigidaire for me until I had a chance to shop for one. After, using the washer for about a month, I found one that I liked better ...

Pros: Three-speed motor, agitation system, water sensor, quietness, second rinse, hang dry setting, appearance.
Cons: None that we can find!

After nine years with a Frigidaire that was a piece of junk from the beginning (new transmission, drum, and brakes in first year with warranty), this Kenmore Elite is a dream! We purchased it because of the three-speed motor (works less, will last ...

Pros: Reduce the total number of loads to be washed and being a top loader
Cons: Twisted up laundry, smelly sour laundry, and laundry not rinsed well. .

My washer was purchased 11/3/02. At first I really liked the set. To wash my king comforter I would have to re-wash about 3 times to get the clean I was looking for. I lived with that.

My towels started to smell sour. At first, I thought some one in my house didn't remove and dry the towels right away. My work out clothes really smells sour. I thought maybe I didn't dry them right away. I changed detergent. I put less clothes in the washer. I set a 2nd rinse cycle. Nope, it was the washer not cleaning my clothes properly. Not enough water to clean.

I will not tolerate opening up my washer and smelling sour clothes instead of the nice clean freshness of clean laundry. I will be dumping this machine. My next purchase will be less money spent with basic features.
