HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Nov. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- With a continued focus on home appliance innovation that improves customers' everyday lives, the Kenmore brand today announced a collaboration with Amazon Dash Replenishment, a service that enables customers to automatically reorder goods from Amazon for their Kenmore smart appliances at the right time. Now, all of Kenmore's smart refrigerators are integrated with Dash Replenishment so that customers may opt to have water and air filters reordered automatically on Amazon.com when they need replacing.

"Our members and their families rely on us to help make their lives easier, so teaming up with Amazon to enable our smart refrigerators with Dash Replenishment is another way to deliver on that promise," said Peter Boutros, president of Kenmore, Craftsman and DieHard brands. "This service presents an entirely new way to get a filter conveniently that will save time, reduce the number of trips to the store and help keep families healthy by maintaining sanitary, filtered water."

To set up Dash Replenishment with Kenmore smart refrigerators, owners will activate the service through their Kenmore Smart App using their Amazon account. They'll then select the water or air filter they want to reorder based on the refrigerator model they own. When it's time for a new filter, owners will be sent the necessary product before they even know they're in need of one. The service eliminates the dreaded realization of, "I don't have a new filter, but I need one now."

Teaming up with Amazon further enhances Kenmore's smart appliance functionality to shoppers. Kenmore plans to enable additional products with Dash Replenishment in the future, including its smart washers, dryers and dishwashers. Currently, Kenmore customers can create a Kenmore Smart account using their Amazon credentials for any of their Kenmore smart appliances, all of which work with Alexa.
