I have an old Kenmore stove that I need to replace and is Kenmore

As other's had said, Sears is in decline but I'd still buy from them if
the price was reasonable.
A stove is rather uncomplicated and there is not much to go wrong.
Even if Sears would go out of business, I'm sure the parts would still
be available for a long time to come.
Stoves used to be pretty uncomplicated devices alright. These days
though, a lot of them are essentially computers with a big heating
elements and a door;-)
I've especially noticed that with driers.
35 years ago I bought a used Sears drier for $75 and it lasted 30 years.
I bought a new almost identical replacement for , I don't know $350
maybe less.
It has a drum a motor a gas jet and a mechanical timer.
once in a great while I will have to change the belt.
Not too long ago I saw a drier in Home Depot for close to $1000 and it
had all kinds of expensive electronic controls. Probably would cost $500
to fix. Drying clothes is not rocket science.
