      I initially called the warranty company on July 12 as fridge wasn't cooling. They sent someone out on July 19 to repair. They had to order parts & scheduled the repair for 3 weeks later. The parts arrived, but after texting me multiple appt confirmations, Sears cancelled & rescheduled for another 2 weeks later. This time they showed and made the repair. The next day, the fridge still wasn't working so they gave yet another appointment for 2 weeks later. They showed up and reordered the SAME parts as they had the first time & that was over a month ago i asked if they could just give us funds towards a replacement but the tech said if they could order parts thaty had to do that. They scheduled and confirmed and reconfirmed the appt for another 2 weeks out and on the day of the appt - after having waited several hours, they cancelled and rescheduled yet again. That appt was for today - exact same situation - it was confirmed and reconfirmed and and then cancelled yet again - after I rearranged my entire day to be here for them. I don't think the fridge is repairable and why they think that replacing the same parts that they already replaced will fix it is beyond me. It has already cost them quite a bit and has wasted a great deal of my time and theirs. Meanwhile i have been WITHOUT a fridge for over 4 months!! I think they tried to repair it and now its time for them to make some kind of payout to me to replace this fridge rather than continuing to repair an 11 year old appliance that they have already unsuccessfully repaired. By my next appt (if they show up) it will be 5 months!! This is not good customer *********** have asked them to escalate the issue to management but thus far, it hasn't happened. Needless to say it is very frustrating & not good customer service at all. I think there needs to be a time frame as to how long one is expected to wait for a repair - the parts are here, but evidently the techs truck has broken down on all 3 days of my appointment!

      Sears home warranty has Sears home services doing repairs on my oven. Parts have been ordered but technicians keep not showing up. The technicians report that they have shown up to the appointment and say they need more parts and order more parts without ever being there which buys them another 14 business days to get a part that was never needed and do the same thing over and over. I had this same problem with the same company last year with my refrigerator that took 8 months to settle the issue. We are currently almost 3 months into this issue with the oven.

      Dear BBB Customer Relations,
      We have completed the investigations of Ms. ******** complaint regarding the refrigerator and her dissatisfaction that it was not repaired in a timely manner.
      Upon receipt of this complaint the refrigerator is scheduled to be repaired and was waiting for parts to become available. We reached out to the parts team to confirmed if the part still available and if not to send it for replacement approval. It was determined that the part is no longer available and the refrigerator has been approved for a replacement under the agreement for $1880.99. A coupon code was sent to the email address we have on file so she can apply the coupon towards a replacement refrigerator directly at **************************. Since, we show the refrigerator has been approved for a replacement we ask to have this matter closed.

      We apologize for any problems or frustrations that Ms. ****** may have experienced with Sears Home Services. We do value our customers and strive for their complete satisfaction including a reasonable resolution of any complaints or problems whenever possible.

      In May 2024 we contacted Sears Home Services to assess and repair a problem with our washing machine. The technician (*****, who left us a number of ************) indicated that some parts were needed, and that when they came in, he would return to repair the machine. We prepaid $****** at that time for the Labor ($124.95) and the parts ($363.25). This amount (******) was posted on our credit card with a date of 5/31/24.***** returned on June 14, 2024, after parts came in. He at that time determined that the parts would not, in fact, fix the problem. He suggested it was more cost-effective for us to replace the machine. He informed us that while we still had to pay for the visit/labor, he would submit a reimbursement to us for the parts. (This is documented on the e-mail receipt which we received).To this date, we have never been reimbursed. I have made numerous calls to various numbers for Sears Home Services -- to be told repeatedly slightly different versions of the same thing -- "oh, we see it. So sorry. Please wait X number of days/weeks for reimbursement to go through." Or -- "please wait and we will research it, returning your call within 3 business days." Or "you have called the wrong department; call XXXX." Once I got someone named (or so she said) *** in a "refund department." She sounded more credible, but also told me to wait 3 weeks. That was 2 months ago. I see that the phone number on record with my bank attached to the payment of $****** is "no longer in service." One person told me to send a complaint to the parent company -- I sent an email or a form of some kind, but never heard anything. We would just like our refund of $363.25.

      I recently contacted SEARS HOME Service to REPAIR my washer. During my initial call, I provided a detailed explanation of the issue and even sent pictures of the washer, which were later overlooked by the technician. When the technician arrived at my home, he informed me that he lacked experience with GE washers and advised me to contact a GE specialist instead. Since no repair was attempted, I requested not to be charged, as the job required a GE technician. Despite this, I was charged $127.63 after the technician insisted, I sign.On August 30, 2024, I followed up with SEARS HOME Service to report that the technician was unable to repair the washer and confirmed that a GE specialist was required. I requested a refund. Additionally, I received an email from SEARS (attached) claiming that only a diagnostic fee was charged, but this is incorrect. The diagnostic fee had already been waived, as shown on the attached receipt and email, and the $127.63 charge was for PARTS AND LABOR, which were not provided. Kindly refer to the receipt for the cost details. Since the technician was not qualified to perform the necessary repairs, no work was done. Despite this, my request for a refund of the $127.63 was denied.I believe the Sears technician was not the appropriate person to repair the Washer, and I respectfully request BBB's assistance in obtaining a refund of $127.63 from SEARS.Thank you for your attention to this matter.

      I bought a refrigerator through Sears and they use ****** Logistics for delivery, installation, and hauling. Delivery, installation and hauling was scheduled for 8/31. Delivery guy brought new fridge and ***orted he could not install the new one bc I needed a "valve" installed behind the fridge. He asked I call a plumber to get such valve installed. Once he left, I called a plumber. Plumber came in and informed me that I did not need a valve since valve was installed under the sink. So, I paid the plumber to disconnect old fridge and install new one. Then, I proceeded to call **************** to schedule hauling. I was told someone would call me back to schedule hauling. On 9/11, I got a call from **************** to let me know hauling guy was at my door and could not get in because there was no one home. Appointment was never schedule with me. I explained to **************** *** that I was at work. ****** *** then said she would reschedule for the following Saturday 9/14 when I was home. The day before on 9/13 I called **************** to confirm hauling for next day just to find out I was not scheduled for that day. I requested to escalate call to manager and the *** ******* *********) told me he was the regional manager and that there was no one above him. He offered to pick up old fridge on Tuesday (when I'm at work), therefore, I declined. Then, I was rescheduled for 9/21. On 9/21, I get a call from hauling guy to let me know he was on his way. He got to my house and informed me he was there to pick up my NEW FRIDGE. I refused to hand in my newly bought fridge. He, then took the old one finally. This is unacceptable. I paid for installation and hauling through Sears. They should have never scheduled business with ****************. They are disorganized and unprofessional. I am requesting a refund due to all the grievance they put me through.

      Dear BBB Customer Relations:
      We have completed our investigation of Ms. ******* complaint regarding the experience she encountered with the delivery of her refrigerator and her request for a refund.

      Our records indicate that Ms. ****** has a ******* manufacturers warranty covering her refrigerator.  Upon receiving her complaint we contacted the delivery team regarding the delivery and haul away of her refrigerator.  We were informed the old unit was already hauled away on September 21, 2024. We originally were not able to complete the set up because she had a plastic water line and did not have a shut off valve behind the refrigerator. As proof of delivery from our driver clearly shows that member have to get a plumber and get the issue fixed. The plumber may tell her that she was fine but the picture clearly shows that the water line behind the refrigerator is not within the code of construction that requires a shutoff valve at least two feet from the refrigerator. Member were originally offered the first manual work order for September 11.  She was not home when the delivery team arrived unfortunately we did not have any other rescheduled until September 21, when the old unit was picked up. 
       On October ******** we contacted Ms. ****** via her ********************* email requesting a copy of receipt for the refrigerator purchase. Upon reviewing the receipt, we informed Ms. ******* as a courtesy, we offered to refund the $99 non-refundable delivery fee, Ms. ****** declined. We contacted her again on November 6, 2024 with the same offer with no response.  Since the concession was declined, we have closed our file.

      We apologize for any problems or frustrations that ********* may have experienced. We appreciate the opportunity to address this issue.

      Subject: communication via BBB

      Healthy, safe autumn season to all,
      Thank you for your response and direct email for discussion.  Please advise of your earliest convenient date and time for a phone/zoom conference. ************. I will arrange and rearrange my schedule according to your specified times to move forward on this concern.
      Overall the communication system is not customer considerate. The prompts do not direct to properly address the specifics. Extremely lengthy, cumbersome holds on every call I have made/chat I have initiated. Each time calls are made, we start from square one as there seems to be no record of previous calls concerns. Even when associate names /case numbers are given, it  proves ineffective.
      As you have reviewed the notes on our case, we have been greatly taxed with this faulty appliance since the purchase.
      According to replacement policy it is to our disadvantage that the appliance must have failed 3 times within a calendar year.
      We have encountered major malfunctions (3 compressors which should not be the case with a new item). Throughout these challenges, we experienced major delays in parts, appointments, and communication.  Personal health issues and surgeries compounded the issues of immediate need for ice packs; meal preparation; horrendous food loss; days of spoilage removal and cleanup.
      In addition the ice maker; freezer have both  required repair. Poorly designed materials caused shelving breakage, yet another repair with an extensive (6-8 weeks) for that repair.
      Most recently the tracking system on freezer door failed with no access to food items. Several appointments were scheduled then cancelled. After almost 3 weeks, that repair was completed. To date, no payment response for food claim lost. 
      The exorbitant protection warranty fee has not served us well. I look forward to speaking with you as we have been a family of loyal customers for decades. Perhaps this will assist others and your company,


      Sincerely,
      Mr. & Mrs. *********************************************************************************** *****

      Complaint: 22418341

      I am rejecting this response because:
      My concerns as listed in my communication with company re: unsatisfactory and less than professional responses according to warranty agreement including cumbersome; lengthy processes to reach appropriate representatives, The voicemail prompts are ineffective, repetitious and each department refers to another. No records seem available to each one who takes the call. We spent hours with more than 14 different representatives via phone and chat; each time supplying the basic information of name; address phone numbers. Several calls (4) were disconnected once I began to seek service.

      While the most recent repair was finally completed following a three-week attempt. My full payment fee for the warranty was process in 1 (ONE); yes one business day. Yet, we wait and wait (too much of a delay); two separate NO SHOWS with only a reply that once appointments are scheduled, they are adhered to-NOT so.  IT was definitely not our experience. The plan seems to be: get customer payment then do as little/as late as the company sees fit.  We were totally inconvenienced with no explanation or notification resulting in an additional week of delays in determining the issue/receiving necessary parts for repair, with no access to the food items, and food purchases for a total of 3 weeks. Our schedules were disrupted, our other important appointments shuffled having been given an INCONSIDERATE expected arrival time range of 7:00 am-6:00 pm (which is also too long). According to this reply, the message is we have noted the customers' concerns. Had we been 3 weeks unresponsive on our exorbitant warranty payment, I don't have to wonder what would have been the response of this company Perhaps concerns have been noted; NOT yet addressed. As mentioned via email (though I requested a phone call) with the representative, we are due compensation for- food purchases; excessive delays; and weeks of inconvenience. I look forward to someone who can honor the agreement and my request then count this closed.


      Sincerely,

      Mrs. ***** *****
