It's common sense, right? Well, I never followed this rule. Luckily, I was around for a brand new Kenmore 88752 (stacked washer/dryer) when the water kept on filling up. You would think there is a built-in mechanism to shut the machine down when the water level exceeds a limit? No.
I didn't want to give up so easily and I also need the washer badly, so I tried a few more times. This morning, I was sitting in front of my laptop for a few minutes too long, and the washer flooded my kitchen. Well, now I can tell Sears with this un-planned experiment: Your product really is a piece of junk!
