I recently retired a Kenmore that came with the house..........17 years ago. The only reason that I replaced it was to get a bit more capacity........it wouldn't break down...........not a single repair in 17 years.........the machine had to be 24 years old.
Yes, they are made by Whirlpool.... to Sears quality specs. The older models were very long lived.

Though it seems that any product I have bought at Sears in the last ten years has had a very short life.

1. Craftsman chain saw: lasted one season.
2. Carftsman leaf blower: lasted one year.
3. Crafstman weedwacker: lasted one year.
4. Kennmore fridge: around six years.
5. Kennmore range/oven: oven won't hold a set temp, temp can very + or - 75 degrees/f.

Just my .02.
