    Very unhappy with my washer. i baught it in April 2011 and now has a water leak. of cource my warranty ran out 2 months ago, I did how ever purchase extender service, but un fortunally the sales clerk never put it in my file, took the money, but now I have this washer and cant afford to fix. i am on social security and at this time the is no extra money. If i had know Kenmore appliances broke down right after the warranty ran out, I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THEM.
