Not sure if it is Lowes or just appliances are made crappy these days. We bought a brand new dishwasher, washer & dryer, & refridgerator from Lowes. (all bought at different times and different brands) We purchased the extended warranty they offer. Each of those items within the first year needed to be serviced for problems. The dishwasher has been repaired 6 times in the 2 years we've owned it, the washing machine 3 times, dryer 2x's. Luckily everything is covered under the extended warranty but I know once that is up we will have to go out and buy a new one. The washer was $400 to repair each time. #### you can buy a new washer for $400 
Also what is a little shady on Lowes part if you dont have your original receipt you will not be eligible for the extended warranty. When I first called on the dishwasher I was told their records indicated I hadnt purchased the extended warranty. Well I knew I had. I was told I had to provide information off the original receipt to get coverage. Luckily I found it, but they have the same records I did re: the warranty so I thought that was pretty crappy of the to deny me because I didnt have the # from the receipt

Ick that sucks! Keep me posted how you make out!
I hear you on not going the cheaper route...however the oven that came w/ the house when it was built 22 years ago is still going strong...yet a brand new $300 dishwasher cant go a couple of months w/ out breaking. Go figure

I am not so sure about the $400 washer not performing as well as the more expensive units. I purchased the electrolux front load and matching dryer, which was not cheap. One month old, the drum on my dryer was totally messed up. Service guy came out inspected it and was on the phone w/electrolux for over an hour. Something was put together wrong inside the dryer which caused some rubbing on the innerds somehow. I then had to wait for Lowes to get a new one in stock as I had insisted on the same color that I purchased.
I am not that impressed with the performance of the washer either, I think my old agitator machine got my clothes cleaner. :shrug:
I think it's more of a crap shoot when you get appliances and the most expensive is not always the best IMO.

What I think is funny is that the poster is complaining that Lowes is not honoring the GE warranty. These APLINACES are 4 years old!
Besides anyone that would wait around for 3 months for a service person for their REFRAGTOR must not be the brightest crayon in the box. It took them 8 months for them to write and complain about it here.

Montgomery Ward carried Maytag under the "Admiral" name until they went bankrupt. Never had a problem with them after almost 20 years.
GE is the problem here and not Lowe's. However, if they bought a warranty through Lowe's then Lowe's is responsible.

I've also had a refrigerator and stove from GE for 20 years and no problems. I believe it is a quality issue and they do not make them like they used to.

No she bought a refragtor and the referager in the refragtor went out. Now we should both understand it.

You know there is no actual "Kenmore" factory anywhere right?
Sears (Kenmore) has the best aplinaces out there according to consumer reports.
That said, my apartment aplinaces are all from Lowes and doing just fine.
as a matter of fact, if you buy a higher end "Kenmore" you are most likely getting a Whirlpool, or God forbid,, a GE product.
Kenmore is only a branding name for Sears, the first three digits of the serial number identify the actual manufacturer.

I think everything is made crappier these days. Luckily there was a mysterious handyman number on a sticker inside our dishwasher when I moved into my new house. He's come to fix our dishwasher a few times and the washer. He's a little weird and I'm not sure he doesn't just use tools to bang things in the appliances around, but they always work again and he is cheap. haha.

GE is made in Puerto Rico.. Not China, but pretty close if you have ever visited..
