“So little water sometimes cloths never get wet”

★☆☆☆☆

written by wkKeating400 on 11/05/2023

Great if you never want clean cloths or use any water. So water efficient the cloths don't get wet. Have tried may of the obvious setting adjustments but never enough water. Should have one complete manual setting cycle to override the "water saving" settings. Absolutely the worst washing machine I have ever owned.

“Deep Fill?!”

★★☆☆☆

written by zlMorrow54 on 11/10/2022

It seems like you can only do 4 outfits @ a time. Always use 2 rinses & then put it on a rinse/spin cycle… Twice! Definitely doesn’t do full loads well. Could’ve been a good one. I don’t know. Maybe I’m doing something wrong loL

“Worse washing machine ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by UnHappyWasher on 14/08/2022

This is the worse washing machine I ever had. At least once a month it is off balance. Can't start the spin cycle up. Have to rewash. I am so fed up with this. I have bought Kenmore appliances my whole life and have been very happy with them. This is really bad.

“junk stay away from Kenmore”

★☆☆☆☆

written by kc0330 on 30/07/2022

id give it zero stars but you cant . do not buy . this is a lemon product. doesn't even clean clothes. I've never seen a washer where the clothes come out dirtier than when they went in . it will take 2 -3 hours of washing to even get the clothes fully wet.

“Horrible!!! ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Ashashmeel on 17/07/2022

Felt like my clothes weren’t getting cleaned. Been having to hand wash my clothes with dawn power spray and scrub them in the sink before I can even “wash” them in this washer. Error codes left and right. User interface is touchy/temperamental and a lot of the times I couldn’t even select a setting without having to power back on and off. I’ve tried countless things to get this washer to “work” correctly. I’ve tried loading 1/4th the amount of clothes I usually do and it still makes the loud noises and goes off balance and that’s with a few articles of clothing. This is ridiculous. Made the mistake of using bleach once in the washer for white rags and even after running MULTIPLE cleaning cycles, cleaning the washer by hand, my clothes are coming out with bleached spots even months after!!!! Going to Costco for a new washer, I’ve learned my lesson.

“Everything Newlsoncarol Said! Does NOT WASH WELL!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Charlie51T on 24/04/2022

We have had this washer six years, and never been happy with it. Not broken; "just" doesn't clean clothes well. Black clothing gets white residue, no matter the way we clean it. We add extra water to it, and fuss with it in various ways. My wife exploded at it today. I looked for reviews, and found Newsoncarol's review that perfectly describes our woes. We are replacing it. Life is too short for such frustration.

“Kenmore 600 washer going strong over 12 yrs”

★★★★★

written by 381Bryant on 21/04/2022

I Bought a GE washer Dryer combo for second home and it started leaking 4 yrs later. Repairman said all GE washers leak after only a few years. Wish Kenmore had washer/dryer combos. My Kenmore 600 washing machine has been going strong for over 12 years, bought a scratch-n-dent at a Sears outlet!

“Loud! Loud! Loud!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by spAlmeida496 on 03/08/2021

I purchased this machine 6 years ago. I normally use something until it breaks, but I might make an exception here. There are always white streaks left on dark clothing. The fabric softener dispenser quit working over a year ago, so I use dryer sheets. My major complaint is the noise. Even with the door shut, we had to put a towel under the door to try to muffle the noise. It sounds like a 747 roaring through the room. Just unbelievable.

“I have had the Kenmore Series 600 machine for over a...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 10/08/2020

I have had the Kenmore Series 600 machine for over a year and my hope that I would grow to like it hasn't happened. The opposite is true. I really dislike this machine. My biggest dislike is the horrible wrinkled condition of the clothes after the cycle is finished. Everything is wrinkled beyond belief. My bed sheets are an embarrassment. The machine twists them to a wadded wrung out condition. The dryer has no chance of tumbling out the wrinkles. All the clothes have that same wrung out, wadded up condition. It is horrible. I am now back to ironing my clothes again after years of "ironing retirement" This machine is the worst thing I have ever purchased.

“I am so disappointed with this washer. No matter how...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by nelsoncarol on 26/05/2020

I am so disappointed with this washer. No matter how much or little amount of tide I use, it leaves white streaks on all of my dark colored clothes. My washer has been doing this since I bought it and it is only a few months old. I have to re-wash all of the dark clothes and it is very frustrating. Please either tell me what I can do to fix this problem or give me my money back so I can buy a decent washer.

“Hate it!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by sillie on 19/01/2020

I hate this washer. It leaves white streaks all over my dark clothing. I have to use double fill and it still doesn't get rid of the streaks. I miss my old top loader where my clothes came out clean. Sears should give all of us money towards a new washer!

I have the exact same problem and it is very frustrating to have to re-wash everything!!! I would never buy another Kenmore product or anything else Sears sells. Someone from Kenmore should tell me what I can do to fix this problem!!

“Worse washer ever owned in 40+ years”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Jones706 on 25/12/2019

I purchased the Kenmore 600 series washer because the Kenmore brand was once one of dependability for a reasonable price. After less than 18 months, the washer would light up but would not begin its cycles. The board made a sound when I pressed each "button" but nothing happened. I tried unplugging/replugging, etc. I contacted Kenmore. They wanted $99 to send a repair tech to "check" the washer. I had already "googled" and learned the issue may be the "Motherboard"/computer electronic board. That part costs $350 without including labor costs. So basically, I was going to have to spend a lot more than $450 to have an almost new machine repaired! Don't waste your money on Kenmore products. They don't expect the electronics to last more than one year. They want you to buy an extended warranty. One technician came and couldn't even figure out how to order the part. I expected a brand name washer to last at least 10 years as our laundry load us only for two people. I will NEVER purchase from Kenmore/Sears again. I give the Kenmore 600 series ZERO stars in every category but to submit a review I was required to select 1 star.

“Not wetting completely”

★☆☆☆☆

written by 390Leblanc on 22/04/2019

The Kenmore Series 600 does not wet each piece thoroughly. I have had complete wash cycles with totally dry spots on some clothing. It does not put enough water in the drum. I end up using deep fill which also is not efficient. I am very dissatisfied with this product. After a lifetime of purchasing Kenmore I will never buy another one.

“Streaks, sounds and dry clothes”

★☆☆☆☆

written by O'Nealis381 on 25/01/2018

What a mistake. This washer ALWAYS leaves white streaks on our clothing and there are dry spots on them so that they do not even get wet during washing. It now chirps when working as if a bird is caught in the washer.Will not waste money on fixing the noise .... will replace as soon as I can afford it.

“Horrible Machine!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Ace12 on 13/01/2018

Horrible machine that will leave residue on every load of colored clothing! We have owned this machine for almost 2 years and have hated it since day one! Had a service tech come out due to lint residue after we first bought it and they couldn’t find anything wrong. Complete dry spots on clothing too where there it is obviously not even being touched by water and cleaned. Never ever again will I purchase a Kenmore-terribly disappointed!

“Should have read these reviews first”

★☆☆☆☆

written by erdsmom on 07/12/2017

My complaints are pretty much the same as many of the other reviewers on here. I too wish I had researched this machine before I purchased the duo 1 1/2 yrs. ago at a Sears store. - Tub doesn't fill with enough water to cover most of the clothes. - Everything comes out wrinkled. - Although I use a liquid detergent made for HE washers, dark clothes always come out with white marks all over them. I end up untangling them, putting them back in, and running the rinse cycle 1 or 2 more times. - Large items (sheets, etc.) end up in a big mushroom shape at the bottom of washer. Worse washer I've ever owned, but not in a position to get rid of it right now and go back to one with an agitator.

What can I do to stop the white streaks on my dark clothes from the detergent? I use about a Tbsp. of tide, which was recommended from the Sears store, but it does not make a difference. Please tell me what I can do to fix this problem. I am sick of washing everything twice and sometimes that doesn't even help. It also costs a lot to have to do this!

What can I do to prevent the white soap marks that appear on many of the dark clothes in this washer? I've tried less, soap, more soap, two rinses, deep fills, etc. It still happens on every load.

I have pets. After washing a load, I noticed pet hair all around the inside of the drum, which I had to manually remove before inserting the next load. What is up with that? Is there a lint filter anywhere in this machine and how can I effectively remove lint from my laundry in this washer?
