*in wash water temperatures colder than 70°F (210C), detergents do not dissolve well. Also, soils may be difficult to remove and some fabrics may retain wear wrinkles and have increased pilling - the formation of small lint-like balls on the surface of garments. Piliing is the natural result of wearing and washing of garments.

Known for their exceptional performance, Kenmore washers come in both top-loading and front-loading designs, catering to a range of preferences and laundry needs.

One of the standout features of Kenmore washers is their advanced cleaning technology. Many models are equipped with powerful wash action systems that penetrate fabrics deeply, ensuring that dirt and stains are effectively removed.

User convenience is a priority for Kenmore, and this is evident in features such as the SmartDispense Technology.
