Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Kenmore appliances ????

I was told by an independent repairman when he replaced a circuit board on my refrigerator that all appliances made today are all about the same and he could not recommend one over the others. They all use electronics today made by the same Chinese company and that is where the failures are today. In my case the unit would not defrost and units built today do not have a defrost timer and relay like in the past, it is all in a circuit board that has to be replaced.

There was a run on the at the beginning of this $h1t$h0w...
Are they back in stock?

We remodeled last year. Bought all Kenmore appliances, and they weren’t cheap. Wish we hadn’t now.

The stainless coating on the microwave door handle is peeling. Sharp as hell and will cut you.. It’s already been replaced twice for the same thing.

The stove almost killed us. Piss poor design. If you’re not paying attention and walk too close you can turn the gas on without even realizing it. They won’t light but the gas will come on big time. It’s happened so many times now, we’ve trained ourselves to constantly check them especially before we leave the house or go to bed.

The fridge has the freezer drawer part on the bottom. It ices up and won’t close properly on occasion. The ice machine is grinding particles of plastic into the ice. They basically told me to go fugg myself and won’t do anything about it.

Fugg sears and fugg Kenmore. They got a schit ton of cash out of me and now they say they’re going out of business so I’m pretty sure I’ll have to replace all this schit again soon because the extended warranty is pretty much useless. It’s a PITA to get them to even come out; and even if they do they find an excuse not to cover it.

The microwave door I’ve pretty much given up on and what I’m gonna do is probably sand it down to take the sharp edges off the coating then paint it. I’m sick of dealing with those people.

. We just need something to keep our food cold.

Who Makes Kenmore?

You may not know this, but Kenmore does not manufacture its appliances. The appliances are manufactured by many other companies, like Whirlpool and GE.

To figure out the manufacturer, you need only look to the model number. The first three digits followed by a dot (###.) reveal the manufacturer.

These are the main code numbers that indicate which major companies made your Kenmore:

110, 106, 562, 665, 198 = Whirlpool
103 = Roper
119 = Frigidaire
362, 363 = GE

What Else Is Made by Whirlpool?

Surprisingly, many appliances are made by Whirlpool. Here are the main ones:

Kenmore
Roper
Estate
Kirkland
Kitchenaid

These washer/dryer appliances are basically interchangeable. Once you remove the timer top and case, you have essentially the same mechanics.

How to Locate the Model Number on a Kenmore Appliance

Model numbers may be located in several places, including:

on the case under the lid,
behind the door,
on the back of the timer panel,
or on the front lower front panel.

The number will be printed on a metal tag or metallic-looking sticker. Other numbers are on the label, but you only need the model number—both for identifying the manufacturer and ordering parts.

Appliances are identified by the model number, which indicates the appliances for a group that are all the same. The model number can usually be decoded to tell the date and place of manufacture.

This number is applied to all parts that fit this group. Some parts are good for many different model numbers. For example, drum supports for a Whirlpool dryer will fit many models of Whirlpool dryers spanning years of manufacture and even different brands, all having some of the same parts.

That's like asking for a vehicle that just gets you
and your cargo from A to B

Or a rifle scope that you just use and don't have
to twist on something to use it

While the girls were growing up and here thru college.
And the wife.

I was lucky to literally get 3 to 5 years outta a washer and dryer no matter what brand i bought.



Jfc
Literally 4 5 6 loads of fugging laundry daily depending on what they was doing.
The amount of laundry 4 women can generate daily is fughing beyond comprehension.

When they started moving on in life.
Literally 1 load a day and the electric and water bill dropped big time.


Me
t shirt
Pair of socks
Towel and a wash cloth
to the laundry each day
Might wear the same pair of pants 2 or 3 days depending on what I'm doing.

My '01 Tacoma is std transmission and has handles to roll the windows up and down.

The only time I have twisted a dial on my scopes is when sighting them in.

I'm nearly a Luddite.

Bath towels as much as anything.
Most every woman I have experience
with used at least 3 towels per bath/shower.
And for whatever reason none will try in
the least bit to dry off before leaving
the tub/shower.
Plus 1 roll TP min. per day

You, me and Conrad need to get together someday.

Pants that I wear to town to get something and get the mail do not need to go in the laundry basket that night.

Now that I no longer go commando, there ain't even any streaks in them.

Cici,s
All 3 of us

Wiping hands on pants is acceptable.


Lol!!!

Even the sticky gooey sugary stuff on the buns?

Just on the front of the pants then. Don't want that on the seats of the 'yota.
