HE5t sat at the top of Kenmore’s HE-series front-load lineup, with the broadest cycle selection of the family layered onto the same fundamental drum, bearing, and suspension hardware as HE3 and HE4t before it. The extra electronic features add more control-board complexity, but the mechanical wear points that fail most often on this platform are unchanged from its siblings.
