Hettie I love my Kenmore He3t washer and dryer9 front loader washer and gigantic dryer). I have service contracts for them, so the repairs, although they have been few, were covered under the service deals. I use very little water, detergent, energy etc. Mine are so efficient. The clothes are nearly dry when they come out of the washer, as the spin cycle is deadly fast and spins most of the water out of the items. I just love, love mine washer and dryer. Sears has good service around here. I have Kenmore Elite stove and freezer as well. I am a real Sears fan. Maybe I should work for them?
