Kenmore HE3t Steam Front-Load Washer 46742/46752 Review and Prices

 

Our Best Buy for the Steam washer category, Kenmore's HE3t Steam Front-Load Washer 46742/46752 lacks a few of the bells and whistles of the Kenmore HE5t, but saves you almost $200 when compared to the top-of-the-line model. Even better, Sears regularly...

Disatisfied

 

I bought my Kenmore Elite HE3t on 8/2004. 5 year warranty expired 8/2009. Today, 7/16/10, the electronic control board needs to be replaced.  Quote was for: Part 204.00 and Labor 139.00.  How convenient is that!

Love it!

 

I don't usually get too excited about appliances, but I really like this washer.  It's quiet, hardly uses any detergent or water, gets my clothes super clean, and spins super-fast without wrinkling my clothes.  I leave the door cracked open to prevent...
