I have a 22 year old kenmore washer and dryer. I have recently paid to have them refurbished to new condition. It was cheaper to get them refurbished then to buy new (by less then half) and I have a reliable set with no digital electronics, just good old fashioned knobs. If you want to buy american, buy an old used model and get it fixed as needed. Or, invest in a Speed Queen set (made in the USA) and they will last you forever.

I have a set of LG side-loaders, large enough for a family of 8 so the 8+ cubic feet models.
The 10 year linear motor warranty just ended and LG sent me a notice that the only way they could perform a software update on the board was by sending me a new board and having someone install it.. for free. Including another 10 year warranty on the electronics.
I've personally inspected the linear motors because I'm curious. If well maintained they would run 50+ years. I have zero issues with LG and hope they can last as long as your Kenmore.
