FWIW, Kenmore is chimp++. Sears makes more than just aesthetic changes for the brand. In every case where we compared LG and Kenmore (for fridges, and washer/dryers) at the same price-point/feature set, the LG had much flimsier parts. Hinges, buttons, dials, etc. on the Kenmore versions were all much beefier, and felt like they could withstand more use.
