      We purchased a new Whirlpool refrigerator. The refrigerator model had an ice machine recall, and they still sold it to us. We have had the refrigerator for six months with an ice maker that doesn't work. They have been out three times. They came out yesterday and told me that I should have ice in 7 hours. 24 hours later, no ice. The water is on. The ice maker is on. Called them and I have to wait yet again for another service call appointment. I think it is time for a new large appliance distributor to enter the Chicago market. Abt used to be the go-to, not anymore.

      We are the owners of a two flat building in Chicago. We purchased two Mitsubishi mini split air conditioners from ABT Electronics. The first purchase was in 2017 for the first floor and then in July 2022 for the second floor. Looking back now, suspiciously both units stopped working just about the time the warranty was to expire where both units needed complete replacements of electronic boards. The unit for the second floor, purchased in 2022, stopped working in July 2026. We called ABT and the service tech came out and ordered one part which turned out to be wrong part(as the unit was still not working). We were in a rush to get the unit fixed because we were leaving for a vacation and the tenants on the second floor needed a working air conditioner. I called ABT Electronics customer service to expedite the shipment of the part.

      ABT customer service told me to call the supplier of the parts and gave me the supplier's name and phone number which I called. Well, it turned out that ABT didn't want, for some reason, to expedite the fixing of our unit. Abt Electronics started to bully/gang stalking us because they said we called the supplier and they (ABT) started to demand cash up front of $1,500 estimated Invoice before they word fix the air conditioner with no explanation nor promise that these parts will be correct parts. We would have been glad to pay for the overnight fee for the part. ABT's customer service and the Parts Dept decided to make up lies about us, instead. I have never before experienced such rudeness from a company with whom we did business for the last 30 years.

      We also found out after our research that invoice for $1,500. has some parts listed on the invoice which were non-existent for the unit we had. How can a company exist with this level of corrupted employees willing to use retaliation against customers? Follow-up: Dan/manager called and promised to sent an e-mail. To date no e-mail rely to my above copy of an e-mail sent to ABT. I guess it is true what they say, "the fish start to rot from it's head".

      We were very loyal customers of ABT and spent a ton of money with them. At the time, they also provided service to Galena, Illinois. I actually promoted ABT on our Galena Territory Facebook pages. Our salesperson was Matt **. Nice guy. We bought a KitchenAid french door refrigerator on May 22, 2022. Over $3,300. We were NOT cheap with this purchase. This refrigerator and the support from ABT were terrible. I'm happy to say that we hope the misery is over today as we purchased a new Whirlpool refrigerator. Arriving very soon from Lowe's.

      The refrigerator portion would not stay cold. The average temperature was in the mid-50's. That doesn't keep food safe and cold. We have thrown away a ton of food. OMG. The freezer portion was okay. I reached out to ABT very early in the process. Two years in, we were having problems. We found on one of our visits that the refrigerator had died. We lost a lot of food. We had the refrigerator serviced at least four times in the past several years with no long term success. I did reach out to Matt at ABT who said there was nothing they could do. Really, I expected so much more than that from ABT.

      I've been a very loyal customer for a long time, and I got ZERO support from ABT. Very disappointing. So finally after four painful years with this piece of junk, we are moving on. Another $2,400 on top of $3,300 already spent in the hopes that our food stays cold and safe to eat. ABT needs to treat their loyal customers much better than this, and stop selling junk. We are now both retired on fixed incomes and don't appreciate the lack of support here from ABT.

      I have been a loyal ABT customer for years and have purchased almost all of my home appliances from them, including my air conditioner, washer and dryer, and water heater. Because of my positive experiences in the past, I trusted them when I recently had my water heater replaced. As part of the installation, the technicians had to move my three-year-old washer and dryer. After they reinstalled them, the washer door would no longer lock because the door latch was damaged. This problem did not exist before the installation. When I contacted ABT to resolve the issue, I was extremely disappointed with their customer service. Instead of taking responsibility for the damage caused during their installation, they charged me for a service call to diagnose a problem that their technicians created.

      For a company with ABT's reputation, I expected much better customer service and accountability. Rather than standing behind their work, they left me with an additional expense and a broken appliance. After many years of being a loyal customer, this experience has completely changed my opinion of the company. I will not be purchasing from ABT again, and I cannot recommend them based on how they handled this situation. If you're considering buying appliances or installation services from ABT, be aware that if something goes wrong, you may end up paying for their mistakes.

      So, I bought a new Whirlpool washer and dryer for my daughter when she moved into her new townhouse in Aurora. I told her to find a set from Abt, since one of my employees spoke so highly of them. Ten months with them and the washer stopped working. She called ABT and they told her they could get someone out in 2 weeks. I asked her to call Whirlpool, and they did have a tech out within a matter of days. Fast-forward a month and she has had both ABT techs and Whirlpool techs out 6 times. It will work for a few days and stop. When she called customer service at ABT, she was told they think Whirlpool should replace it because of the repeated service calls. Today ABT told us they don't think Whirlpool will replace it.

      What is wrong with these companies? Doesn't any company stand behind the products they produce or sell? Yesterday was inspection on my other daughter new purchase condo in Oak Park, ironically it needs all new appliances in the kitchen. It has custom German made cabinets, so I told her we need top end appliances. Like the ABT sells. I Know now we will not be shopping for them at ABT.

He then replaced my refrigerator with a brand new one which I am so happy with! I am forever appreciative to Dan and because of him I will continue to be an Abt customer! Thank you so much Dan!

      So I bought a Samsung very expensive refrigerator with a family hub and also paid for the extended warranty. Well it's been a month and a half since I have been out of a refrigerator! ABT sent a tech out that had no clue what the problem was and actually ordered unnecessary parts. Came 2 weeks later installed these parts and my refrigerator still keeping crazy temps, going from freezing to almost 50 degrees which is bacteria dangerous! Then they deliver loggers to monitor the temp for one week and also one week later send a senior technician out who actually, I was impressed with.

      He said the problem had absolutely nothing to do with what the 1st tech diagnosed. So now I'm hopeful but he had to order the part. Well that was 2 weeks ago and I've heard NOTHING! This is almost a month and a half without a refrigerator. Who on God's green earth can go that long without a fridge! I have had to buy a basic Frigidaire refrigerator fir my basement. I will never ever purchase anything from ABT again! Please do not but from them!

      Same issue as reported on December 10, 2023. Dan ** provided a new knob on that occasion. As I referenced at that time this particular unit has a defect in this part and its connecting piece. I say this because we have now gone through 4 knobs with the same result. They all break after about a year of usage. This is the far-left knob on the panel of the Kitchen Aid Electric Double Range.

      The Absolute WORST company to deal with! Skip at ALL cost! I’ve purchased a GE dishwasher from them only 7 months ago and after 3.5 months of use, it’s leaking! More than that, yesterday the dishwasher door started to drop open without control or resistance! The door opened on my dog’s back resulting in INJURY! (Thankfully, it wasn’t my toddler in there!) The worst part of all, instead of taking accountability for a (clearly) defective unit- they’ve tossed me into the manicure’s hands, RUDELY saying “that they have a store to run and can’t talk to me”… And this is with me being under THE ONE YEAR WARRANTY! Guys, avoid at ALL cost! They will not stand behind their products, “unless you live in Chicago” BUT they will still sell you even if you’re living in NY! To make things short, AVOID this 100% rude and unprofessional company, for your own sake!

      Orna- Your unit has a 1 year manufacturer warranty that covers 100% Parts and Labor. While we don’t manufacture the goods we sell, we certainly stand behind them, and the manufacturer requires that units have a service call before exchanging products. We have reached out to our GE rep about the situation and will follow up

      UPDATE: Hi Orna, The GE rep has informed us that the unit was serviced and tested. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help with. Thank you

      We purchased a side-by-side refrigerator for my mom in 2021. She started to have problems with ice building up in her freezer and first we cleaned the vents and replaced the filter. That didn't work, so we called ABT to have someone come out and look at it. We got on the schedule in just a few days and got a call from Gus - our repairman. He was right on time, and the clogged line fixed within 15 - 20 minutes. This company has great customer service both over the phone and in person. We won't ever buy an appliance from anyone else.

      We have bought more than 20 items from ABT and EVERY TIME they are consistently high quality and a GREAT customer experience. Very knowledgeable staff and honestly one of the best companies we’ve worked with even compared to Southwest or Apple. Whenever we had the slightest issue, they come out fast, fix it and I’m always surprised by the low cost of repair. I don’t think we’ll ever go to another store.

      I bought a dishwasher. When shopping I asked the sales rep for a really good drying one- I came in wanting the Miele- and walked with that- It arrived and didn't dry properly- called down Miele. Said it's working as is and isn't an optimal drying one. Wanted to return my dishwasher because was still in the 30 days- and ABT has been absolutely a nightmare- Everyone telling me they will call me back- or I should try a different department- The sales people are actually awfully transparent telling me once It's sold they can't be bothered- Initially was going to just ask for a replacement brand but given Michale ** experience - I went with a different company.

      My experience with ABT Electronics over 30 years of dealing with them has been nothing short of 5 Stars. Let’s start with the tremendous selection of product. Amazing! Next, let’s acknowledge ABT’s world class service. Next to none! Finally, let’s praise the high quality of ABT’s knowledgeable sales staff. In particular, I highly recommend Brian **. Not only is he an excellent source of information for assisting you with making the right purchase decision, he is perhaps the most accommodating individual when it comes to dealing with your purchase.

      I've been buying from Abt for 30 +years. I purchased a TV on 3/4 and set up the delivery with Ryder for 3/11. I live in a high-rise, and my concierge was tasked with accepting the delivery in the lobby during the 2 hour delivery window. I notified Ryder that this is a condo delivery and the "threshold only" delivery would be accepted at the door. No one showed up during the delivery window, so I contacted Ryder and they claimed I "refused" the delivery, so the TV was sent back to the warehouse. I had lined up not only the front desk but also someone to bring it up to my condo and hang it for me. After the call with Ryder, I received an email with a bunch of rules and warnings that the TV would be sent back to Abt and on and on if I 'refused" it again. I decided it wasn't worth me having to beg for my delivery and notified Abt that I no longer wanted the TV. Now Abt is refusing to refund my money until this nutty delivery company sends them back the TV.

      I've been trying to get this sorted out with Abt for 7 straight days with no response. I reached out today to the person I've been speaking with at Abt and he pretended like he knew nothing about the return issue or my request for the refund. They are holding me responsible for the return of the tv and refuse to process the refund until Ryder gets the TV back to them. Frankly, I don't have a lot of trust in Ryder and I've never taken possession of the TV so it seems odd that I am the guarantor of its safe return. I was forced to file a dispute with the credit card company.

      I was trying to treat myself to something nice during a tough time and this has caused nothing but frustration. I just had to make a $500 payment to the credit card with no TV and no refund in sight. Hopefully, the credit card dispute department will help me. I should have just used Instacart to deliver a TV from Best Buy up the street. My bad for thinking I'd get higher level care from a reputable store in my hometown.

      I have ordered all of our appliances for rental homes and personal residence. Every appliance from Speed Queen W/D, refrigerators, ranges and dishwashers. They deliver to Wisconsin twice a week. We had Juan as our installer and he was informative about each appliance and how to use, cleaned up after himself. And my sales rep; Andrew ** is great. I would highly recommend ABT.

      I was very pleasantly surprised that Abt bent their rules to accept a return of a poor-quality range, even though I was past the deadline, for merchandise return. They worked with me to help find a range that was acceptable quality and put the cost of of the first range AND the cost of delivery toward the new range. They have restored my enthusiasm for their company.

      I purchased a Frigidaire range from Abt and Abt is stringing me along. They send one technician after another instead of a representative from Frigidaire as promised. These local technicians notice that all burners light up and that the oven also gets hot, but what they do not address is that the burners are all too hot so I cannot simmer (sauces, rice, etc.) and the oven is so hot in the back right corner that the cookies back there burn before the cookies in the front left are cooked. I have had 2 rounds of local repair people say they can't see the problem and that the igniter is in the back right of the oven so that is why food back there burns before the food in the front is cooked.
