The Sears Kenmore Power Miser 6, 40 Gallon, Natural Gas water heater
is a poorly designed product. I recommend that if you are needing a
water heater, to stay away from this product line, and this specific
water heater (the Sears Kenmore Power Miser 6, 40 Gallon, Type:
Natural Gas).

I have now been waiting for about a month for a thermocouple part to
replace the thermocouple on my two-year-old Sears Kenmore Power Miser
6, 40 Gallon, Natural Gas water heater. This part is on backorder
because, I believe, they can't keep them in stock because the
thermocouple assembly is failing for many customers who have purchased
the Sears Kenmore Power Miser 6, 40 Gallon, Natural Gas water heater
over the past few years.

YCTML.

Sear's Kenmore brand is the WORST. We outfitted our remodeled
kitchen with all new Kenmore "Elite" appliances about 2 years ago, and
have had repair calls on the stove, refrigerator and microwave (still
doesn't work right after 2 service calls). My favorite was the Trio
"Elite" refrigerator, which completely died on us so we lost all the
food in it. Called 1-800-4-MyHome, and they couldn't be bothered to
send someone for TWO WEEKS, so we called an independent repair
service. The independent told us that the Trio fan motors are pieces
of Korean junk and that he's replaced several on brand newish
refrigerators.

Oh, and we had a Sears repairman DRAG the stove across our hardwood
floor in order to access the back of it...no cardboard or anything on
the floor, just dragging it along the wood making gouges as he did
so. His reply? "

THOSE WERE ALREADY THERE"

Yet the gouges began where the stove started and ended where he had
dragged it. We tossed his ass out of the house and after MANY calls
to Sears, finally got them to admit it was their fault and got them to
pay to repair the floor.

Sears is to be avoided at all costs. Kenmores are junk, and
Craftsmen items are not much better, and their customer service is
HORRENDOUS.

My how times have changed. I still like Craftsman because of the
warrenty, but Kenmore used to be the mark of excellence.

Forever Craftsman warranty for socket sets and some hand tools only, all
else normal warranty, 90 days, 1 year, whatever. Some Kenmore's rated tops
by Consumer Reports, but we found our large appliance fails multiple times
just after the warranty. Wife stay away from Kenmore no matter how good the
sale is.

Hi,
That forever warranty is different now. When my rachet wrench broke,they
gave me repair kit in a bag, not a replacement.
