SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20110911-EE05C-2147475425. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Kenmore Kenmore model 110.27062600. Source model text: Kenmore Elite Oasis # 110.27062600. Incident: I have a Kenmore Elite Oasis washing machine model #110.27062600 serial #CT0670345. Sears replaced the circuit board during their recall last year. The machine would go out of balance quite often and would take two to three times as long as it should to finish a load of laundry. That was before the recall part was installed. It was worse after they replaced it and we hoped with time it would get better. It never did and last night it started beeping by itself at about 3am. The only way to make it stop is to unplug it until you use. Then you have to be patient and program it several times before it will start, but it still keeps beeping. The scary thing is that it sparks at the plug when you plug in or unplug it. Nothing else we plug in or unplug does this at that same socket.

There is obviously an electronic malfunction that could cause a serious fire.

Incident: Our 1999 Kenmore Gas Dryer poses a fire hazard because it collects lint inside the metal compartment where the gas burner is found. For the past 14 years, we have always cleaned out the lint trap inside the door to the drum of the dryer itself. However, when we had a repairman come by and repair the dryer, he opened up the metal compartment and found a huge amount of lint had collected inside the compartment which poses a serious fire hazard, since that is where the gas burner is also found. He claims that only the 1999 Kenmore Gas Dryer has this problem; other Kenmore dryers do not. There was nothing in the paperwork we received when we purchased this product that would warn us of this hazard.

Incident: I have had a new Kenmore Mod# 110.75132412, S#M72414798.Natural gas dryer. I converted to LP gas working great for 9 months.Then it started blowing fire into the drum, smoking up the drum and my clothing. You could see the fire coming into the drum while running. Sears repair came out and said I did not have the correct LP conversion kit installed. I ordered a new one directly from Sears parts. It came and would not work with the original dryer burner control. I had Sears service personnel come out again and he could not make it work either again. He stated the two parts were no comparable. Now I have a dryer that does not work.

Product: Kenmore Kenmore model 110.27062600 (Kenmore Elite Oasis Type 580, model 110.27062600 top loading washing machine). Incident: This report is about a Kenmore Elite Oasis Type 580, model 110.27062600 top loading washing machine. Last night I was running a load of laundry in the washing machine. My family and I were in a different area of the house. We heard a sound like loud thunder followed immediately by what sounded like a bomb exploding and the house shook. I ran toward the source of the sound and saw the washing machine looked like it had exploded, with the sheet metal sides twisted and forced outward. The back steel panel was blown loose, and the lid and top frame were attached only at the back corner. There were machine parts and broken pieces of shrapnel scattered throughout the room, along with dirt and lubricating grease from the washer parts. Some of the wet clothes were located on the floor behind the drum. The tray for dispensing detergent and softener was ejected forward onto the floor. The washer rotated sideways and punched a 12 inches wide by 8 inches tall hole in the wall, and there was another smaller hole by the baseboard below. The gas dryer had serious damage from the impact and is inoperable. Next to the far side of the dryer there was a steel clothes rack that had a leg broken by the force of the dryer impacting it. After seeing the damaged dryer, I ran to the basement to shut off the gas and then came back and turned off the water supply lines and unplugged the power cords. The washer had been functioning normally and there was no warning or sound before the incident occurred. This washing machine normally is very quiet. We are in a tight spot financially with needing a new
