Our History
The Kenmore brand traces its roots all the way back to 1913, when Sears, Roebuck and Co. began selling sewing machines under the Kenmore name. Over the next few decades, washers, dryers, refrigerators, ranges, and water heaters were added to the Kenmore family.
Kenmore appliances proved popular with American families thanks to their reliability, affordability, and performance. As families moved to the suburbs in the post-war period, they outfitted their homes with the latest Kenmore washers, dryers, and refrigerators.
In the 1970s and 80s, Kenmore benefitted from Sears’ expansion into malls, becoming one of the most widely recognized appliance brands in America. Generations of families came to depend on Kenmore appliances in their daily lives.
The 21st century has seen Kenmore focus on innovation and developing industry-leading products. Major investments have been made in research and development as well as state-of-the-art testing facilities.
This innovation focus led to the creation of the elite Kenmore Elite line in 2003. Kenmore Elite appliances feature premium styling, materials, and technologies not found in standard Kenmore models.
Today, Kenmore continues its mission to provide quality, innovative appliances that simplify and elevate everyday living.
Our Products
The Kenmore family of appliances is designed to meet the needs of every household. We offer a complete selection of kitchen and laundry appliances to handle any job.
Refrigerators
From compact dorm fridges to fully-loaded French door models, Kenmore has hundreds of refrigerator options. Features like temperature controlled drawers, advanced filtration, and in-door ice makers and water dispensers make food storage and access a breeze.
Kenmore Elite refrigerators represent the pinnacle of food preservation. Models like the Kenmore Elite 27 cu. ft. Counter-Depth French Door Refrigerator provide a massive 27 cubic feet of storage capacity while only taking up standard kitchen depth. Its dual evaporators prevent food odors from mingling while an inline water filter produces clean, filtered water and ice.
Ranges
Kenmore ranges are available in gas, electric, induction, and dual fuel configurations. All models emphasize precise temperature control and even heating for excellent cooking performance. Specialty features like convection baking, warming drawers, and griddles simplify meal prep.
For ultra-responsive, accurate cooking, Kenmore Elite induction ranges are unmatched. Unlike traditional electric ranges, induction models heat cookware directly which allows for rapid temperature adjustments and near-instant boil times. The Kenmore Elite 30″ Induction Range combines this responsive induction technology with a sleek, modern design finished in stain-resistant stainless steel.
Dishwashers
No one wants to spend time scrubbing plates by hand. Make clean-up easy with a Kenmore dishwasher. Features like adjustable upper racks, soil sensor cycles, and Quiet Pak sound insulation deliver sparkling dishes without hassle or noise.
Kenmore Elite dishwashers sanitize dishes while optimizing water and energy use. The Kenmore Elite 24″ Built-In Dishwasher with TurboZone features a rotating spray arm and multi-point targeted spray jets that blast dishes from every angle. An internal water heater sanitizes to 160°F while remaining gentle on dishes.
Microwaves
When you need to reheat leftovers or pop some popcorn, count on a Kenmore microwave to get the job done quickly. From compact countertop models to full-size, over-the-range units, Kenmore has the right microwave for your kitchen.
Kenmore Elite microwaves include extras like integrated range hoods and convection cooking capabilities. The Kenmore Elite 1.7 cu. ft. Convection Microwave Cooks can bake, broil, and roast just like a traditional oven thanks to its convection fan while still delivering that rapid microwave heating convenience.
Washers
For generations, Kenmore washers have kept clothes clean and fresh load after load. Innovations like Direct Motion impellers, triple action agitators, and SmartMotion inverters provide powerful cleaning action while treating fabrics gently.
Step up to a Kenmore Elite washer for serious fabric care technology. The Kenmore Elite 5.2 cu. ft. Top Load Washer excels at stain removal and fabric care thanks to features like Accela Wash, Precision Dispense, and Deep Fill. It can even customize cycles for each load.
Dryers
Pair your washer with a matching Kenmore dryer to complete your laundry room. Kenmore dryers come in electric and gas models. Watch loads dry in minutes thanks to innovations like Steam Refresh, Wrinkle Guard, and SenseDry moisture sensors.
Kenmore Elite dryers add extra fabric care capabilities. The Kenmore Elite 7.4 cu. ft. Smart Electric Dryer features Advanced Moisture Sensing which detects moisture levels throughout the cycle. Combined with SmartDry Plus technology, this allows the exact drying time needed for optimal results.
Water Softeners
Hard water can damage appliances and leave scale build-up on fixtures. Improve your home’s water with a Kenmore water softener. Features like metered regeneration and bypass valves make these systems convenient while saving water and salt.
For whole home protection, choose a Kenmore Elite water softener. The Kenmore Elite Advanced Water Softener utilizes a high-efficiency digital valve to precisely control water flow during regeneration. The included Elite H2O WaterCare Whole House Filter removes sediment and chlorine for cleaner drinking and bathing water.
