Both my refrigerator (model #79577719700) and my dishwasher (model #47789 701) were Kenmore Elite models and each of them stopped working after 1 year.
Best of all my warranty was up after 1 year. They stopped only 2 days past my warranty and Sears wouldn't do anything about it.
They told me to call a repair man. I even talked to the manager still nothing!!!
They want to make money off repairs -- Kenmore repairs.
