A washing machine that's great both in looks and performance is the Kenmore White High-Efficiency 3.1 cu. ft. Front-Load Washing Machine (4041) ENERGY STARĀ®.

Interior Features

  • The final spin speed is at 950 RPM, making sure that more moisture from the load being washed is removed, which in turn results in drying time that is shorter.
  • This Kenmore washer only uses at most 19.3 gallons of water per cycle, comparing to the 40 gallons of water a typical top loading washer uses.
  • The washer is very flexible, as it is equipped with 6 wash cycles to handle all of your washing needs enabling it to handle all washing needs.
  • This washer is equipped with automatic dispensers for detergent, bleach, and fabric softener.

    Our fix NEW
    by: Granny

    Did not fix this machine - not for $1100! Bought a Speed Queen front load for $1500. Fits well, works well. I love it. Talk to me again in ten years to see if that is still true.

    Review is dead on NEW
    by: Granny

    Sears no longer makes this model. I have owned it for 11 years - at about ten load per week. It was awesome. The clothes came out of the spin cycle almost dry. That's the good.
    The bad is yes - the mold in the detergent tray was nasty, til I squirted some Tilex in there and ran it empty. I did that about once a month and it kept it clean.
    Yesterday, the bearings went out and it made an unholy racket when the spin cycle got going. The guy just told me it would be $1100 to fix, because you have to take the whole machine apart to get to it. I'm in a pickle, as the depth of my laundry nook is only 26", and the only machine I can find to fit is a 2 cubic foot one. Too small.

    Worried about this washer
    by: Anonymous

    Hi,
    We just purchased this washer 4 months ago and already we are having problems. The baffle broke down and we have to replace it. We only use the washer about twice a week and there's only two of us. Very concerned.
