My Kenmore dishwasher has been a problem since purchased so after several repairs while still under warranty we decided the prudent choice was to buy the extended warranty. It was definitely the right decision.  In Nov 2013, my dishwasher began to leak water.  We noticed the screws on the door were working their way loose and would not remain tight.  Over time they fell out completely.  A call for service before Christmas resulted in an appointment on Jan. 7.  After fully describing the problem, the repairman arrived without the parts to do the repair job.  Complaining did no good. He ordered the parts and rescheduled the repair for Jan 27.  New repairman came yesterday and guess what???  Still didn't have the correct parts to finish the job.  We've waited over a month and a half and do not have a fixed appliance. Thank goodness I could still run the machine to clean my dishes as long as I stuffed newspaper under it on the floor to catch the leaking water.\n\nNever again will we buy a Sears or Sears-supported appliance!!
