Wow! I feel like we're doomed :-) And we dumped our 1994 Kitchenaid :-( Tell me something good about the Elite.

Hi all, I know I've asked you about this previously. What do you think of Sears' extended warranty? They now want to charge 118.00 for a 2 year warranty. It would start now and extend the manufacturers warranty by 1 and 1/2 years. They want $348.00 for a 5 year one. It was $180.00 at at the...

Sears wants about $180 for a 5 year warranty. I can still buy it anytime. This is the dishwasher I picked out for my 86 year old mother. She is against the extended warranty. I myself am inclined to get it thinking it will save a lot of bucks down the road. Would a $640 dishwasher even be worth...

Kenmore 13114-Extended Warranty's- Are they worth it. I want to know you folk's opinions on extended warranties. I had our Kenmore Elite 13114 dishwasher fixed today. You may remember me posting about the buttons falling off after only three months. All the repairman did was replace the front...

Mine must be made defective.

I just inspected it some more. I now notice both the Normal and Cancel buttons are coming off. They are broken through halfway around the circle. These are the buttons that get used. Do I tell Sears to replace them now also or will they put a whole new faceplate on? Ridiculous!! Can I expect...

Thank you both. I still have my diamond. How is it attached? It looks like my Cancel button is coming off next. Are these just stamped into the faceplate?

Hi, You may remember we purchased a Kenmore 655.1311. I have a little problem. The dishwasher is less than three months old and the start button fell off. I mean the diamond shape part with the word start fell off. Seems kind of cheap. It is a piece of plastic that is almost as thin as...

We bought the Kenmore 13112. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_02213112000P We finally made a decision. We opted not to buy the 5 year extended warranty which is $180. P.S.- I thought I better post to this thread also to let appnut know. Now I'm out of here for awhile :-)

Can You Recommend a Good Dishwasher? I have been looking over these two Kenmore models. Now someone told me the pumps don't last on them. That they're Whirlpool built. Do you folks believe in extended warranties? I basically do not. Kenmore 13742...

I'm torn between the two of these. I wonder if the one that is 43 dollars cheaper is better? Can they put a stainless steel tub into the 13112 for 43 bucks without skimping on something else? 13742 http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_02213742000P?mv=rr 13112...

OK, then I won't worry about it. You can't believe all the reviews. I have found that any item will have some one star reviews. There are defective units from every model and brand and they tend to post to the reviews. I believe the people who say a dishwasher doesn't clean may not be using...

I saw this on one review. Is there anything to this? Overall Rating: 1 out of 5 1 5 Kenmore Dishwashers, November 5, 2008 By MNSteve from Minneapolis, MN "I do not recommend buying Kenmore dishwashers. After only a couple of years, the buttons on the front panel tear off due to the heat. You...

I guess they both have the filtration system. I'm learning that you can't go by the title you have to read the specs :-) You're starting to convince me that the 13112 is the way to go. The 13742 has an eletromechanical timer and the 13112 has an electronic timer. Any preference here?
