Technician window was 8am-5pm. Never received an update until 2:39 pm which then listed that time as the expected arrival. Checked again an hour later and expected arrival was listed as 7:28pm! Then received a text message at 6:28 pm stating that “due to unexpected staffing issues in your area, this appointment will have to be rescheduled.” Absolutely unacceptable. Took the day off work and waited around for nothing! 0/10 would not recommend. Also, impossible to get ahold of a live person to speak with. Everything was automated.

My service tech Tim, is awesome. He diagnosed the issue with my Electrolux dryer. We discussed the previous service that was performed and concluded the replaced parts were not the cause of the noise. I explained to him that I had been complaining since the first year we owned it. The previous techs said the noise was not an issue and basically kicked the complaint down the road until the noise was so bad they decided to replace some parts. By this time, it was out of warranty, and I had to pay nearly $500 parts and labor. When the tech turned it on after replacing the parts, I told him the noise was still there and actually worse. He told me they all sound that way. I disagreed. He left. Over the next 2.5 months, the noise got worse.
When I called to try to speak to a customer service representative, the AI system would not let me speak to a real person, so I scheduled my appointment. When Tim arrived, he agreed the noise was not normal. He looked up the cost for the parts that are needed to actually repair the dryer. The repair will cost $800. He tried to contact someone at corporate to see if there is some sort of price reduction available for me since I had just spent $500 and the problem was still presenting. He made several calls and kept getting the AI attendant. He was finally able to talk to a supervisor. He explained the situation and the supervisor told him since the previous repair was over 30 days ago, he couldn’t (wouldn’t) do anything.
Sears sent me a link to rate my tech. I gave Tim a great review and added additional notes explaining my dissatisfaction with the corporate response. I pressed send and got a message “woops something went wrong”. I’ve tried searching for a phone number to talk to an actual person. Apparently, there is no such number.So, I must resort to giving a review. Sears Home Services does not care about their customers, are not willing to resolve a misdiagnosed problem, have no way to actually speak to someone, and are unwilling to do the right and moral thing for a customer that spent $2600.00 for a top-of-the-line Electrolux washer and dryer set. Do NOT contact Sears Repair Services for ANY repair. Do NOT purchase any extended warranty of any kind from Sears Repair Services. Call your LOCAL appliance repair company. I will be forwarding this review to Electrolux as well.

Sears Home warranty used to be a reasonable service. Not any more though! It’s next to impossible to schedule a service appointment with them. And when you are finally able to do so it is cancelled at the last moment. They are complete waste of your time and money. You’d be better off paying out of pocket directly to local repair service companies rather than wasting your money here.

Sears began repairing my refrigerator in April of 2025. They made at least 27 appts. Only kept two. Tried to repair it. It worked for 4 hours. They gaslighted me. Tatiana from headquarters called. And I never heard back from her. I contacted BBB. There was nothing they could do. I spent over 1200 dollars for the contract for a year. They will now not accept my phone call. I want my money back. I have been cheated by Sears. I will post on Facebook and anyone who will listen.

Worst company that ever existed! Call anybody but These people. they Are the worst! Got a text message from them 3 days ago saying they had an opening that day if I wanted to move my appt up And they gave me several choices for times. I immediately said yes and picked a time. Never got a confirmation and when I sent test asking for confirmation I get a message saying our service is not available. I didn’t know if they were coming or not but I waited the 4 hour window just in case. Of course they never showed up.
Today was my initial appt and I have received a total of 15 emails and texts from them reminding me of the appt and saying they would be here between 1-5. Took 1/2 day off from work and get a text at 4:45 saying my appt needed to be rescheduled. I’ve never been so mad! You can’t talk to a live person.. Message you get from the number they tell you to call is that they are only an AI service! Worst company I have ever encountered. Use anybody but these people! You will regret it if you use Sears.

Avoid Sears Home Services like the plague! After spending $700 to repair a refrigerator, they canceled six appointments in six days, usually after I waited all day for the technician. Refrigerator is still not working and I’m done with this most aggravating customer experience of my life. I’ve contacted a real, not “artificially intelligent“ appliance repair company.

Repairman gave no estimate. Was there 30 minutes. Gave no bill. Had a way to pay by sending to my phone than all info disappeared. Filed complaint with Federal Trade Commission. Had to cancel credit card. Was informed they put me on a monthly reoccurring charge. Repairman said all info disappeared after he finished call. I told him I never heard of such a thing and I was going to file a police report also.

First, they didn't have a live person to speak with only AI automated (this was directly from the automated voice). The automated system is extremely frustrating. Example, not recognizing what you’re saying, not proving options for why you’re calling, restarting. It also told me I had an upcoming scheduled appointment for yesterday's date (didn't recognize it was now a day later and the repair person already serviced - which is what I was call about, the new problem since the original problem was already fixed the day before). We will not renew. Avoid this frustration!

Reported LG refrigerator stop getting cold and freezer was not working on July 22, 2025. Tech came out and confirmed compressor is bad in July. As of today 09/17 still not fixed and Sears cannot explain what’s the hold up. Finally received new compressor on 09/02/25 but sears has rescheduled the 09/16/25 tech visit to 09/22/25 with no explanation of why. They were quick to take the deductible payment but making my 84 year widowed mother wait for refrigerator repair. I’m not happy with this company (sears home protection).

When purchasing appliances avoid the warranty with Sears Home Services! Absolutely terrible communication (as in no way to reach a live person for help). I received AI text messages every morning leading up to my appointment asking me the same questions that I already filled out about my issue. They tell you they will be at your home between 8a-5p with no additional contact. I'm already on my 7th hour of waiting and have had no luck reaching anyone to confirm if they even show up today. What a waste of time!!! Disaster company. Avoid at all costs. I will never pick a warranty with them again!

DO NOT buy the warranty or use this company. It is a complete scam! Their customer service is horrid. They try to do all with automated systems. They didn’t honor their work. They put in a new stove hood fan which failed in the first month.

This (below) just happened to my mother and I’m in the middle of basically the same thing. They are such a rip and you can’t talk to anyone! Also ask before you use anyone because they have different names - my current service is through Lowe’s extended warranty. 7 people have been out and you can’t even talk to them! Motor is about to be replaced for the second time in two weeks but I can’t even tell them that!
Buyer Beware... How many times have I heard that saying? Never would I have applied it to SEARS... UNTIL NOW... My kids went to school in SEARS clothes. We scoured the Christmas catalog for hours on end. SEARS was a mainstay. Things have definitely changed for me. The water pump need replacing in my Maytag washing machine. I was given a price of $306 for this part. It was to be delivered mid-week by UPS. The next day, I received the part from AMAZON, not ordered by us. Ordered by SEARS or technician.
The cost on AMAZON....$50.00. That is a 500% markup. There is no avenue to contact SEARS to speak with a human. I called all numbers and only got recordings. I went through CHAT, at first AI, but then transferred to what they claimed was a human. I was ASSURED this issue would be resolved by management. A week later, after hearing nothing, I brought up the complaint to the tech installing the pump. He took pictures of the cost estimate and the actual price on AMAZON for the part. He ASSURED me the issue would be presented to his supervisor. Of course, I have heard nothing. Maybe this policy of Customer Service is a part of why SEARS is in the situation it is in. Shame on you, SEARS. I no longer have to be "BEWARE" of anything to do with you. Never Again.

Initial call to Sears was to have a freezer repaired under my warranty. The technician came and sprayed my freezer with water. Said the job was complete. “Give it a couple of hours and that’s all it needed” as he walked out. After the fee was collected. The next day I still had no ice… I contacted at Sears back. They then rescheduled an appointment. No one showed for this appointment. By end of day when I contacted Sears back, they had automatically given me a new appointment two weeks out. I was disgruntled and called the customer service. They told me they were sorry for the inconvenience but could reschedule a new appointment when I contacted them for someone else to come out. No one showed once again.
I contacted the customer service and requested to cancel my warranty and was then told that they would make sure it was escalated to another department and once again, “sorry for the inconvenience”. Another appointment was then set up at which this time I received several text messages and a few representative phone calls confirming the appointment for 15th of September leading up to and including the day of. I once again took off work. No one showed up. I waited till 4:55 PM because the schedule was for an all day opening of 8 AM to 5 PM.
When I was finally able to reach a representative they told me the new appointment had been pushed to September 22. I then told them that was unacceptable and that I could not take another day off work and wish to cancel the services completely. They then told me they were “so sorry” with their very passive aggressive tone. Stating that they could not cancel in the moment. I would have to wait and call back the following day as they cannot do that on the phone same day. This is the worst service I have ever received!! It is as if they do not care about their customers. There was a time when Sears stood for Quality, Care, and consideration for their clients. I would not recommend wasting your time as there is no follow up from their offices. And No technician will show up at your door!

We had a refrigerator with a noisy and slow producing ice maker. Sears Home Services was contacted and an appointment was finally established. The service technician arrived and diagnosed the problem. The technician’s recommended was a replacement ice maker. He installed a new ice maker. After several days, the new ice maker began slow production of ice. Sears was contacted and an appointment was set.
After 7 weeks of waiting, Sears rescheduling appointment dates and Sears not honoring the published warranty for their service or replacement parts sold, we hired another appliance repair / service company. The new company came, diagnosed the problem as a faulty “new” ice maker. The technician installed another ice maker unit. Communication with Sears is basically impossible. There are too many robots you have to deal with. Therefore, Sears customer service sucks. They have developed a "take your money and run” attitude.

Worst company ever. DO NOT USE THEM. Their technicians don’t take the time to diagnose actual problems, only take shortcuts so they can get in out. You can’t talk to a human and their telephone AI hangs up on you if you don’t like the offered prompts. They scheduled appointments for the entire 8-5 day and show up randomly or not at all. They arbitrarily change appointments, without you consent. A horrible company.

Sadly I was only able to give Sears Home Services (SHS) 1 star. That is a step up. SHS is associated with and managed by Cinch Home Services. They are mostly an insurance & real estate venture. They underwrite SHS and are located in Boca Raton. But don't try to contact them, you'll just referred to some useless virtual assistant, as someone who has ever dealt with SHS knows well. I doubt there IS a regional office that contains actual people.
At any rate, I had an issue with my dishwasher. I was told the part was not covered, so I procured it myself and created a Service Request for 9/10/25, between 11am-1pm. I called the SHS # for my provider and was told (yes by a Virtual Assistant) that my appointment was scheduled, the technician was 2 stops away and would call 1st. This "Assistant" even verified my address. All good right? Hardly. About 30 minutes later some woman from Cinch Home Services calls to talk about a bad survey I gave which they richly reserved. In the course of our talk she informed me that My Repair appointment had been canceled. By whom I ask. No Idea says Dana.
I call SHS and Hmm, they have no record of any Service Request associated with my phone number. Rather than break something, I created another Service Request, which SHS was happy to do, once I paid my deductible. These are not honorable people. Not their field techs. Those folks are just making a living. But the Corporate slime balls they work for are just interested in the money and finding any way to get out of honoring a claim. What the heck do you get for your monthly fee? It's certainly not goodwill or Good Customer Service. Avoid SEARS Home Services at all costs. Find yourself a trustworthy local repair business. Good Luck.

I should have looked at this company's rating before purchasing this ins plan. It is cumbersome to reach a person, schedule an appt, and when you have done that they either change the dates, times, or in my case, name it a virtual appointment. What?

GE Profile refrigerator purchased at Lowes, insured through Assurant, repair assigned to Sears Home Services. Refrigerator not fixed after 6 weeks, including 2 visits. 1 virtual visit (phone), 6 additional appointments made, then cancelled after we waited all day for technician. Parts installed after the second visit did not correct problem. I found it impossible to talk to a real person about the issues. Sears' phone/chat bots were useless and designed to force me to cycle (and recycle) through menus that did not address problem.

Sears Home Services may not be a literal scam, but it’s as good as a scam. We purchased a 3-year protection plan for our new washer and dryer, thinking it would really save us headaches. Now that Sears Home Services has canceled and rescheduled 9 consecutive “appointments” (each of which had a window of 8am to 5pm, causing us to lose work and miss appointments), boy do we wish we had skipped the protection plans and just put aside some money to hire a local repair professional. There is virtually NO WAY to speak with a human about the scheduling or repair process. The only option is to chat with a bot, whether you call or text. The one time a technician actually made it to our house (he couldn’t fix anything because the wrong part had been ordered), he told me that even he, the contractor, is given no way to speak with a human manager at Sears Home Services. I hope this joke of a company ceases to exist before long.

Sears Home Services gave us an estimate of the repairs to our Jenn Air stove and required a pre-paid deposit amount ($700 +). When the technician came to perform the work he was not able to install the new pilot lights because of the poor condition of the stove (rusted screws he could not remove). He said I would get a refund for the parts that were not used. The value of the parts was several hundred dollars. The refund did not come. I then wrote a letter requesting the refund, and the company never responded.

I called Sears for an appliance repair. The technician who came out had to order the part for my stove. That meant I had to schedule another repair date to have the part installed. Unfortunately, the part never arrived which meant the technician was not able to complete the job. So that meant another appointment had to be scheduled and the part reordered. The part arrived and the window for the technician to installation was from 8am-12:00 noon. No sears technician has called or sent a text message to tell me of their location or time of arrival. I have been waiting from 8:00am this morning until after 3:00pm this afternoon. This is the third scheduled appointment for my stove to be repaired and it’s still not fixed!
My day has been taken up waiting to have my stove repaired and I’m still waiting. Sears service has no regard for a persons time.

If it were possible to give zero stars I would. You pay for a service that when you really need it, they do not show up, they do not call to tell you they are not coming. You receive multiple AI messages through text that someone is coming - then when they do not show up, you are forced to use their AI service when you call back and cannot get a live agent to help you. When I finally found a number that I could get live people on, they were reading from a script and could not help - transferred 9x, spent 2.5 hrs begging for help and finally ended up cancelling the contract in full. They kept informing me the call was being recorded, so I asked that a supervisor pull all the call recordings and review all the lies I was told and then get back to me. Regardless, do not waste your money - in the long run it's cheaper to buy the new appliance then pay over and over for this scam.

Original Review: Aug. 18, 2025
I am very dissatisfied with Sears Home Warranty. Sears used to provide good service with their warranty. The technician that came out in the spring to inspect my air conditioner, did an amazing job, and I was very pleased with him. I am charged a monthly fee that includes inspection of air conditioner and furnace. I scheduled inspection of my furnace three weeks in advance. Have a day off of work for the inspection. The appointment was confirmed 25 times over the weekend via text messages that they had sent me to confirm my appointment.
The morning of my scheduled appointment I received another confirmation text message. Then I received a message from Richard the virtual person stating that they could not keep the appointment. I contacted them only to find out that they couldn’t keep the appointment because they said I live too far. I have always had my air conditioner and furnace inspected Under my Sears Warranty. They have a contract with cinch and cinch would not provide service. This is a legal and fraudulent. I was sent a text message stating that my service had been rescheduled per my request. I requested service the day that I scheduled it. I was told that they would come out during the rescheduled day. I do not feel that I could trust them. I am very dissatisfied and would never recommend a Sears Warranty program. I am currently looking elsewhere as I am very unhappy and dissatisfied with Sears and cinch.

The scheduling for getting our repairman to come is very simple and easy. However, trying to cancel a service or repair is almost impossible. The part and repair cost was going to cost more than getting a new dishwasher, and I called almost immediately to cancel the part and repair appointment. I was assured everything was canceled, but the part was shipped to us anyway. Sears is wanting us to pay the shipping to have it returned before we can get a refund. It is almost impossible to talk to a real person, and one service representative even hung up on me. Most of my calls were only through AI, which was completely unhelpful. We are still in the process of trying to get this resolved over a month after the issue.

We have been unable to get our refrigerator repaired for months now and unable to reach anyone other than an A.I. response telling us they are all A.I. now and that there are no humans to talk with.

Then we tried to schedule another appointment and was told that before it could be scheduled we had to have a “virtual” appointment so we scheduled that and waited around for that phone call that didn’t happen in the window of time we were given so they called an hour later when I was at my doctor appointment.

A con artist is a person who deceives others through manipulation and trickery, often to gain financial benefits. I only needed the wires on the outside air conditioner replaced. My home warranty company assigned Sears to the job on 7/1. It took them two weeks, until 7/12, to come out. When the technician arrived (between 8am and 5pm) at 4:30 pm., he had an attitude. He asked for payment upfront and looked at the outside AC unit. I told him only the wires needed replacing. He stared at us and said, "I need to look at the unit inside." My unit is upstairs in the attic. He went up for about five minutes and came back down. His diagnosis was that I needed a control board part, which he had to order, and he scheduled a follow-up for another two weeks, on 7/24.
On 7/24, my husband and I waited the whole day (8am-5pm), missing work. The tech arrived nearly at 6pm.— a completely different technician who seemed clueless about the situation. The previous tech had not logged any notes and didn't order the part. To make matters worse, he wanted payment for showing up... Are you serious? I had to call the home warranty service, who told him that no payment was needed for this service. I kept insisting he examine the unit because he appeared ready to leave without doing anything. Besides, he had an attitude of not caring. He looked at the outside unit and refused to go upstairs. He made a phone call and said, "Yeah, you need a part," but it wasn't ordered. He promised to order it again, expecting it to arrive in the morning, and said he would return between 8am and 12 pm on 7/25. Soon after he left, I received a text saying he would come back on 8/6.
To make a very long story short, they didn't show up on 8/6 and sent me another message about 8/20. During all this, I contacted my home warranty to assign a different HVAC company to my claim. On 8/8, a different company came out, replaced the wires outside, but discovered someone had cut the wire to the upstairs unit... humm, who could have done that! I didn't need a control board after all! The problem was fixed within 30 minutes. SEARS is a mess! They use confidence tricks to defraud or swindle people into believing false information. Essentially, a con artist is skilled at cheating people out of their money or valuables through deception schemes!!!

They wanna reschedule and that’s it forget you wasted a whole day waiting, woke up early to be prepared and a NO CALL, NO SHOW is ridiculous! No respect for the customer's day and time!

I don’t usually leave reviews but this company is so bad that I am today. My wife had to miss work three times, first two times she waited around for the appointment time which is 8am- 5pm for them to cancel on us at the end of the day. The third appointment got a text from an automated number saying we were not home but yet the picture they sent was not even our house. It said check the voicemail that was left but had no missed calls. There is not a phone number for you to call to actually talk to a person. Before you buy a warranty when purchasing an appliance make sure they do not use this company.

We had service tech visit us to look at our refrigerator's ice maker and water dispenser, it was under service order number ** on August 4th. We were provided a quote for the repairs. The original quote is attached to this email. The parts were $231.21 and the labor was $409.95 for a total of $674.47. The tech said the part will come via UPS and he scheduled us for the repair on Friday August 8th. I asked him what if the part doesn't come by then, he said, "Oh no it will be here by Friday."
Today, August 6th we received a delivery from Amazon. We did not order anything from Amazon so we were surprised by the delivery. When we opened the box we found two items, the refrigerator repair part and a child's lunch box (please see the attached photos). Surprisingly I checked my Amazon account and no orders were placed for either of these items. The smaller package contained the refrigerator part which I found on Amazon, for $44.95. Please keep in mind the technician charged us $231.21 for this part. The other package is what appears to be a child's lunch box (please see attached photo). We never ordered this either. Something is just not right with how this transpired. We are shipping the part back to you, yes in its original Amazon packaging.

They never showed for the appointment. It was an ALL DAY window and there is zero communication. When I attempted to get a hold of customer service throughout the day for a smaller window, it’s all automated. Once it got past 4pm, the option allowed an AI customer service rep who stated live agents or supervisors do not speak to customers. What? Then offered a 2 week reschedule. It’s summer and my HVAC is out after it had taken 2 weeks to get this appointment. Absolute garbage.

There seems to be no way to talk to a real person. They let you chat to an AI rep who surprisingly won't take any complaints or give you any important info (like a phone # for real person).

Words can not express my frustration with this company. June 20th my dishwasher would not power on. I called Sears #Warranty and they were able to come out the very same day. The technician came in never opened the door to look to see what was going on. Just said it needed a control board and that he would order it. It took over two weeks for it to come in and another week to get a service guy out to install it when the service guy came out finally, he took the door apart and installed the control board and it still didn’t work so he continued to look through the area of the door where he found that the wiring harness had been burnt, and the fuse had been burnt, so I was still without a dishwasher because he had to order those parts. He stated that he wasn’t even sure that would fix the problem when he got them.
So fast-forward a week I reached out to Sears when I hadn’t gotten the parts and still no working dishwasher, I talked to a really nice guy that said he was going to put in a request for a replacement dishwasher because there were two attempts in the unit was not fixed. He said to check back in 3 to 5 days to see if I got approved for the replacement dishwasher. He said once I was approved then I could cancel the repair part so that’s what I did four days after I spoke with him. I called and a nice lady told me that I had been approved and that the next steps were to keep a check on my email that I would be getting a coupon code that I could use towards any dishwasher on the Sears website and they would cover all costs for the dishwasher, the installation and the haul off of my old dishwasher. She stated that it would take 3 to 5 business days to get the coupon code.
I called on the fourth day to see where we are and another lady said it had to go through channels before you could get the coupon code so she accelerated the order and said I should have an answer in 3 to 5 days. I am still waiting. And to top it off they have now said the promise for the new dishwasher was an error. They now show my service has been complete and my dishwasher is still dead.
The lies and all the phone calls are exhausting not to mention the CSR now just disconnect my phone calls. I called back immediately yesterday asking to speak to a supervisor, they claim they are the highest person I can speak with. This is unacceptable. This needs to be made right. MY ADVICE IS TO STAY CLEAR OF THIS COMPANY UNTIL THEY GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER.

Big mistake. I didn’t check the washer before he left, and when I went to use it, it wasn’t working at all. Now I’m calling another company and will never use Sears again for any repair or maintenance. Disappointed in the upsell pressure and lack of accountability.

Nightmare! I waited three weeks for the repair parts to come in for my 2 1/2 year-old dishwasher. I kept calling and calling finally I was told that I would be able to order a new one, but the kicker is I had to order it from Sears. Supposedly it would cover Installation and take away. Attempted to order new dishwasher with the 10% discount. Listed on the Sears website. Told that their system was down and impossible to order. I had to wait four days before the system was up and then the 10% discount only was for teachers and one other group. Previously, it was not For specific persons. It was for anyone that bought an appliance. Then it was another several weeks for delivery. I was told by a phone call. It was going to be delivered the next day, but I never got a delivery between the hours that I was told so I called and learned that the dishwasher had just arrived in their warehouse in Illinois so another week I had to wait.
Dishwasher is here but for three weeks I’ve been calling to set up an installation and take away for the dishwasher. Last week they finally told me there is no one within 100 mile radius of my home for that service so now I am looking for a plumber. 90% of the customer service reps are poorly trained, and give out incorrect information. In addition, they have a heavy accent and difficult to understand. I am sorry that I purchased this coverage because I could’ve had a new dishwasher installed and the old taken away back in April.
Prior to this nightmare, I had a service man come out about my 48 inch refrigerator freezer. He told me that part needed to be replaced, but the entire unit would have to be pulled out because the replacement part was in the back of the unit. I received the part and someone was sent in for the repair And the service man said no you don’t have to pull the unit out. It was accessible from the front. It is evident that Sears has incompetent repair people as well as their customer Service reps.

As with many other reviews, my experience with Sears has been extremely frustrating and now worrisome. I contacted them to repair my Kenmore dryer. The automated "AI" system is frustrating, and it is impossible to talk to a "real" person. The AI "chat bot" does not allow you to ask questions. Finally, I got an appointment. The technician came in his own car, not wearing a uniform, and spent most of the time looking at his phone before telling me I needed an expensive part he did not have. I ordered this part and paid for it, set up a follow-up repair day when I worked from home. After four hours, I received an "AI" text cancelling my appointment. Since I use a flip phone, I cannot open the links in the "AI"-generated text messages. It is impossible to inform them of this since there is no "them," just an AI bot.
I am currently waiting for the technician to show up. I spent over 500 dollars on a part which sits in my basement. I am so frustrated in my attempts to get support or answers and am now worried that this issue will not be resolved and I will have spent all this money for naught. Sears used to be great, reliable company which has denigrated. Clearly, it is run by some large corporation seeking to make profits and could care less about customers--the opposite of how a good business works. While it helps to know that I am not alone in this experience, I hope some type of action against Sears will occur in the future, perhaps a class-action lawsuit for customers who have suffered from their terrible customer service and failure to offer effective support for their products.

The technician never showed up—no notice, no apology. I tried calling, but there is no human support. Just a lifeless AI bot that couldn’t answer basic questions. Fine. I rescheduled for July 1. This time the technician arrived, diagnosed the issue, collected a deposit for parts, and promised a follow-up. The parts arrived around July 9, and installation was scheduled for July 15. Guess what? Another no-show. Canceled with zero warning at noon the day of. Beyond frustrated, I rescheduled again for July 22, confirmed multiple times, and STILL—canceled AGAIN at 5 PM the same day. I gave this company every chance to make things right.
And here’s the kicker: the technician who did show up left a voicemail from A&E Factory Services—a company linked to Sears. One quick Google search and I found a sea of 1-star reviews complaining about the exact same issues: deposits taken, no follow-ups, and no accountability. Meanwhile, Sears hides behind bots with no humans available to help. No returned calls. No escalation options. Just a black hole of customer service failure. I’ve paid them. I’ve waited. I’ve been polite. And I’ve been ignored. This is unacceptable. Sears Home Services and their contractors are operating in a way that feels almost predatory.

We were given a one week time frame for a return to fix. We got at least 6-7 postponements. On 7/5 a repairman came and asked where the new part was. He said the company has made changes and the part should have come to us. He put in another order, and we were scheduled for 7/11. The part arrived on 7/8. No one showed up on 7/11 and the appointment got moved again to 7/19. Beware before you use this company. And, I found the part, the retail value is $45.

I have had this warranty for quite some years. I paid for this. On 7/7/25, I called to schedule an appt for my washer (not working properly). S/w Samantha (AI machine). Made appt for 7/10/2025, 8am-5pm. Verified ph/email, all correct. Was told I would get a text/email about appt. Received nothing. On day of so called appt no-one showed up. I stayed home all day. No phone call/email. Called ph# again and s/w Samantha (AI). I wanted to know status of repair man. AI could not tell me. Asked to speak to a human in customer service, AI stated that there is no human to talk to. AI told me that she feels for my frustration. I then asked if AI could call repairman and see when he is coming. AI could not do this.
AI wanted to know if I wanted to cancel this appt or reschedule. I rescheduled but it was only for 20 Jul 2025. Almost a week and a half later, no sooner appts. I have never had this kind of trouble with Sears Home Warranty. I was always able to s/w a human. The repairman never called with a status update. Why do I have go back to the end of the line for repair work? I just wasted my money on this warranty. I do not feel like this will get repaired. Totally lost faith in this Sears Home Warranty Service.

I had an appointment for these people for nearly a week. They gave me a window of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to be here. I had heard nothing all day and called several times to find out I was on a route and they would be here. At around 3:30 they told me they would not make it today. But they could come back either one week or two weeks from today. I waited around all day for these people and will never do it again. If I was you I wouldn't do it either. If they can't keep an appointment what kind of repair service will they do?

The agent told me the dishwasher was fine, and that clearing my drain would solve the issue. It didn’t, so I brought him back two days later. He insisted the dishwasher was fine, and told me to call a plumber. He said I could order a $400 part if it would make me happy, and that he’d have to charge me for the second visit. When I refused, as he had said the second visit would be free, he just walked out. Eventually, I was able to diagnose and fix the dishwasher myself, with no more appliance repair training than a YouTube video, and two months’ worth of calls to Sears finally got my visit fee refunded. Before you call Sears, see if you can fix it yourself; you may be more qualified and capable than whoever they send to your door.

Never choose Sears Home Services!!! My 88 year old mother went without a working refrigerator for almost 3 weeks after having the problem diagnosed. She would schedule the repair, received confirmation the morning of the service, then no one would show up. This happened 4 times. I called to help get someone scheduled, and it's almost impossible to talk with a person. You are constantly routed to the website or to an AI assistant, so you can't enter a complaint or seek resolution to confirm a technician is assigned to your appointment.

I was able to easily reschedule a return visit from technician Ruben for the very next day. He came in the morning early and finally fixed the problem, and I was not charged again. The initial charge of $129 covered this second visit. This was simply a repair. I did not sign up for any type of warranty program with Sears Home Services. Technician was professional, courteous and friendly. I was kept updated via text on his arrival time.

The title says it all. It would seem that a Sears Repair Insurance Plan would prevent you from constantly searching for a reliable technician to handle your washer that is badly in need of repairs, but this is an illusion. Even when one is a customer in good standing, Sears does not provide dependable services. The services that should have been provided have not been executed even though your monthly payment has been paid. Today was the eighth time that I receive a text message from Sears Home Services stating that: "WE regret to inform you that, due to unforeseen circumstances, we will not be able to have a technician available to service your appliance."
Picture receiving the same message eight times in nine months. Despite charging your credit card a $100.00 fee, there has been no technician visit to your house. Remember that the reason was "due to unforeseen circumstances." Forget about the fact that you might have taken a day off from work every time to be present. Unfortunately, the text message reached you while you were waiting for the technician's arrival. Who cares? This is the motto of Sears Home Services: "As long as we receive payment for our monthly Service Plan, we do not care if you have to wait seven or eight months to have your appliances fixed. Moreover, we do not care if your appliances are not fixed."

Dear Sears Customer Service Team. I am writing to express my deep frustration and disappointment with the service I have received from Sears Repair. My recent experience has been nothing short of unacceptable, and I feel compelled to bring it to your attention. I scheduled a repair for a Kenmore Elite Dryer. Not only was the appointment rescheduled without adequate notice, but I also received little to no communication from your team. When I attempted to reach out for updates, I was met with long wait times, transferred multiple times, and no verbal communication from your team.
Even more concerning, the technician who finally arrived was either unprepared or unable to complete the repair, leaving the issue unresolved. I've been trying to contact you but to no avail. Once again, I have been left in the dark with no response. This experience has caused significant inconvenience and has shaken my confidence in the reliability and professionalism of your service department. I expected much better from a company with Sears’ reputation. I would appreciate it if someone could follow up with me directly to address this matter and explain how Sears intends to make this right.

The company moved to AI, and it is a disaster. Every attempt at contact is met with AI and it is very difficult to get connected with a real person. Our first appointment was a no show, then when the parts were ordered only 2 of the 4 arrived. The company insisted all 4 were delivered, despite the tech submitting a picture of what was in the box. We prepaid for the parts and it took contacting the company 4 separate times to secure a refund. I would NOT recommend this service, at all. It might work if your appointment goes perfectly but if you have ANY issues it will be a total nightmare trying to get it sorted due to the lack of live customer service.

I used Sears Home Services for my washer repair. Several things went wrong with my service request. The first technician misdiagnosed the problem and ordered the wrong parts. The second technician came and said the first technician ordered the wrong parts so he ordered another set of parts. Beyond that, it was a struggle to get another technician to come and install the newly ordered parts. The first schedule, the technician just did not show up. Sears provides a wide window for their services from 8 AM to 5 p m.
I waited all day and received a text message at 430 pm that the schedule had been moved to the next day. The next day, the technician called me at 330 PM and said he will arrive at 430 p m. My wife was with my son at PT. I called my wife and asked her to return home just to meet the tech. 20 minutes after my wife had already made it home, the tech texted and said he couldn't make it anymore. And that the appointment has been moved to tomorrow. I tried reaching out to this tech, but he would not pick up his phone or respond to my texts.

Sears home warranty system is completely automated and could not provided any assistance for a refund since the part was ordered through a registered online account I have no access to. My bank was unable to assist since I had no invoice to support my claim and I cancelled the job. So no refund for me. And Sears/technician received pay for no work performed.

He was just informed that they no longer service Kenmore water heaters and no longer sell water heaters so there was no service he could offer me. They made it as if I declined their services.
#1 Why would you send a technician to my home for an appliance that you no longer service? #2 The representative who schedule the appointment should have been aware that the Kenmore water heater appliance is something that Sears no longer service or provide. #3 I paid a service fee and was not provided any service, no suggestions, no referrals for service with another vendor.

I contacted my warranty company, they contacted them only to find out the office was closed. They called them again on Monday & I was given the 17th to come out & once again another text message that the could not come out; my warranty company called again & I was given the 19th; once again a text message they could not come out. The warranty company stated that when they called they stated the technician did not have a work order to come to my house; I replied that makes NO SENSE whatsoever, they scheduled me for the 21st; another Saturday, which I refused, because the office is closed.
I demanded the warranty company to send my work order to another vendor; which they did & they forgot to cancel out of the Sears system & guess what, I let the appointment stand, and of course, I received a text message at the end of the day that they were not coming and requesting another date for them to NOT come out; which I refused to respond to. I told my warranty company they need to get rid of them because they are giving them a bad name.
They use AI & text messages to communicate with the customers, which I think is fantastic, but if you are using technology to hide, because you know you will not be coming out to assist customers, then you need to stop using it and if this is the treatment you will give to customers, then you should not be in business. I will be sharing my experiences with any and all avenues I can to spare people the frustration and anger I have been going through from this disgusting company and to everyone who has a contract with them, please get out of it now.

Sears sent a serviceman to my home on 5-28-25 for repair of my oven. They were paid $129 for the diagnostic.

In the process of installation, oven still not working with old or new board. Then it was found that the board was never the problem, but the latch that locks the oven door. Engineer showed me the algorithm the repairman followed to end up with advising a new control board. Sears never explored any other options, but just guessed that when all else failed on algorithm, it must just be the board. So, new board, same old problem. No one to call, only AI Samantha or reschedule another repair and pay another fee.
This must be the most ingenious underground business a once reputable company like Sears could do to customers. No personalized service, only AI. And when they cannot help, just nothing.

We have been using Sears Home Services since approximately 1990. We had a Refrigerator/freezer, a stand-alone Freezer, a Washing Machine and a Dryer covered under their “Master Protection Agreement”. I generally find extended maintenance agreements to be a waste of money. When I met my wife, she was a single Mom with 3 children and at the time, the Sears maintenance coverage was a good insurance plan for her. After we married, we continued to renew the plan every few years. Sear Home Services is now using AI for all their rescheduling appointments. Getting a human to talk to is next to impossible. If you call sales to buy a service plan you can talk to a very well spoken English speaking employee.
If you call to make your initial service appointment you will get someone who speaks heavily accented English from a call center somewhere over seas. If you need to follow up on an existing appointment or to reschedule an existing appointment you will have to communicate with AI. It’s a terribly painful system to deal with and the reason that prompted me to write this review.
Today I had a 35 minute conversation with Samantha (or Sondra or some other AI) who apologized twenty two times (literally) and tried to help me reschedule an appointment only to tell me there was a system trouble (after half an hour!) and I would have to hang up and try to reschedule online. We have been waiting thirty (yes 30) days for Sears to repair our refrigerator/freezer and, oh well, here’s our story to date…
On Friday, May 16, 2025, we opened our refrigerator to find a hot mess. A fully packed freezer and refrigerator was hot and leaking all over the kitchen floor. We had to throw out approximately $800 worth of food and prescription medicine. After cleaning up the mess, we called Sears Home Services to schedule a technician to repair the fridge/freezer. We were able to speak to a live person and were told the first available appointment was 7 days later, Friday, May 23rd.
On Friday, May 23rd (after waiting 7 days) the technician arrived and determined the problem was a failed compressor. He then ordered the part and had it shipped to the Sears warehouse. He told us they would need to reschedule a technician to come back to install the new compressor after they received it. The earliest appointment we could get for a Sears technician to install the new compressor was 12 days later on Wednesday, June 4th. (19 days after our initial call for service.)
At 8:03am Wednesday, June 4th, we received an email reminding us that the Sears technician would arrive between 8am and 5pm. We set aside the nine hours so we could be home and wait for the technician. Somewhere around 4:00pm we received an email/text stating Sears was sorry, but they would not be able to keep our appointment that day and we would need to reschedule.
I then attempted to reach a live person at Sears and somehow was able to speak to a woman who said she would make a note on our account that we were in desperate need of service for medical reasons, and they would try to get us an earlier appointment. We told her we would be traveling out of the country on Monday, June 9th through Thursday, June 12th and would not be available those four days. The earliest appointment they could schedule for us was 9 days later, Friday, June 13th. Not happy with the additional 9 day wait but desperate to get our fridge/freezer fixed, we then made plans to be home to wait for a Sears technician for 9 more hours on June 13th.
On Thursday, June 5th at 7:25am we received an email telling us our appointment had been rescheduled for Tuesday, June 10th (one of the days we would be out of the country). After many failed attempts to reach a live person, we ended up using the online rescheduling tool. Only now, our original appointment for June 13th was not available. AI had changed our appointment without asking us to a day we were not available and would be out of the country. The earliest appointment available to reschedule was now Monday, June 16th, 12 days after our initial appointment to diagnose the problem and 30 days after our first call to Sears.
On Wednesday, June 11th at 4:52pm we received an email reminding us that a technician would be arriving on Monday, June 16th between 8:00am and 5:00pm. (We are hopeful). On Friday, June 13th at 2:41pm we received an email reminding us that a technician would be arriving on Monday, June 16th between 8:00am and 5:00pm. (We are happy.)
On Saturday, June 14th at 5:03pm we received an email reminding us that a technician would be arriving on Monday, June 16th between 8:00am and 5:00pm.(We are excited.) On Sunday, June 15th we received an email reminding us that a technician would be arriving on Monday, June 16th between 8:00am and 5:00pm. Each one of these emails reminded us, “Your repair appointment is Monday. Need to cancel or reschedule? Let us know right away, to avoid a service charge.” Really? (We are now tired of eating out and just want our refrigerator/freezer fixed.)
Today is Monday, June 16th. The day is finally here! At 8:00am we are ready for the technician. The refrigerator is cleared of all obstacles that could get in the technician’s way. We have cleared our schedules for the entire day and have one thing on our mind. (Okay, many things on our mind like homemade eggs and bacon in the morning, ice coffee, iced tea, hell, anything with ice in it…) We received an email at 8:04 this morning reminding us we have an appointment today and to let them know right away if we need to cancel it to avoid a surcharge. Oh wait! Another text at 12:54pm.
“Hello, this is Richard, your AI virtual assistant from Sears Home Services. We regret to inform you that, due to unforeseen circumstances, we will not be able to have a technician available today to service your appliance. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We would like to make this right by rescheduling your appointment at the next available time. Which of the following works best for you?
1) Saturday, 6/21, 8am-5pm2) Monday, 6/30, 8am-5pm
3) Tuesday, 7/1, 8am-5pm
4) Wednesday, 7/2, 8am-5pm”
Okay, is it me or is there something very wrong happening here? I had to try one more time for a live person. That’s when I got Samantha (or Sondra or some other AI) who apologized 22 times (literally) and tried to help me reschedule an appointment only to tell me there was a system trouble (after half an hour!) and I would have to hang up and try to reschedule online. We have been waiting thirty (yes 30) days for Sears to repair our refrigerator/freezer and, oh well, here we go again.
Are they trying to drive customers away? I realize the Sears our parents and grandparents knew disappeared a long time ago. But there must still be many thousands of families out there who have bought contracts with Sears Home Services and are as unhappy as we are with the “service”. Sears is now a disgrace of a company who has gone the way of over seas call centers and now AI only interactions with most of their services.
I’ll admit, I had an interesting discussion with Samantha (or Sondra or some other AI) this afternoon. I asked her if she was really “sorry” as she kept saying. How could she be sorry if feeling sorry was a feeling that she as an AI thingy couldn’t feel? She apologized again and gave me a really intelligent (yet snotty) answer, "Sorry?" She (IT) wasn’t very authentic. How can a machine, devoid of genuine emotions, offer an apology?
Our new rescheduled appointment is Monday, June 30th. That is another 14 days from today. That is 44 days after our initial call to Sears Home Services. How sad. :-( I just read through the Sears Master Agreement and do not see any promise to repair in any reasonable amount of time. There may be something in there but this is probably a class action waiting to happen. Me? I’m not interested. Just fix my fridge/freezer and I will never ask you to come back.

We have made multiple attempts at scheduling repair. It was difficult to get appointments and one was canceled and another was a no-show. Whether you call or go online, there is an AI system “Samantha” that is glitchy, requiring you to start from the beginning repeatedly as if you already hadn’t spent an hour going over and over the issue and providing the requested information. After much frustration and interruption the one tells you the at you have to go to the other, and round and round for hours you go. They tell you that there is no live person option, “but I can help you resolve your issue quickly”, and the gaslighting continues. There appears to be no actual way to schedule an appointment or resolve an actual, reality-based issue. They express apologies and offer to send you around and around again. Our refrigerator sits in repaired after three months and over thirty attempts at resolution.

Sears gave me a Saturday appt with a 8a-5p window. They messaged me, "Hello, this Richard from Sears Home Services – checking in to ensure that the technician can have the right parts ready prior to your appointment. What’s your appliance’s model number?" I provided the model number. They informed that they would order the parts prior to the technician's arrival and to keep in mind that my appointment could change depending on parts availability.
On Saturday morning at 7:18a I received an email confirming my appointment. At 4.23p I contacted Sears to inquire if the technician was en route as my 8.5 hour wait time was closing and the technician had not called or arrived to my home. The virtual assistant thanked me for calling and informed me that I needed to reschedule my appointment. This is unacceptable to have someone waiting for 8 hours and the company not call and or show up for an appointment. I will NEVER 👎 use Sears again for my appliance repairs. I will wait or buy new appliances before I use theirs services.

Since the moment Abimael ** stepped foot on my property, it was clear I was dealing with someone who thinks he's above accountability. This technician showed up with a smug attitude, zero professionalism, and a giant chip on his shoulder. He acted like a know-it-all, completely unwilling to listen, explain, or collaborate. In his mind, the buck stops with him--and customer concerns don't matter. Instead of addressing any concerns like a professional, Abimael ** escalated, got defensive, and made the situation personal. He wasn't there to help--he was there to posture, prove a point, and flex authority he clearly didn't have.
It was less of a service visit and more of a power display by someone who doesn't understand the concept of respect or customer care. The lack of courtesy, decency, or even basic communication was appalling. If this is who Sears trusts to represent their brand, then the entire department needs to be reevaluated. It's evident loyalty doesn't matter. Abimael ** didn't just fail to resolve the issue--he made it worse. And Sears, by allowing this kind of behavior to slide, is complicit in the damage being done to its customer relationships. Avoid this technician. Avoid this company. They've clearly forgotten who they work for. And don't bother calling Sears. You can't get anywhere with them. It's only a matter of time before Transformco collapses because of its employees.

(Meaning: they were in working order except for some snafu) There is an immediate $100 copay for a service technician to even come out. But so far, no out-of-pocket payments for labor and parts.

I had a leak that had developed somewhere near my refrigerator’s water filter. I contacted Sears Home Services to repair the leak and they promptly scheduled a service visit. The service visit occurred on 4/16/25 and was very brief. The technician explained I needed some parts totaling $201.43 and would schedule a return visit once the parts arrived. He further explained that the service call charge would be added into the subsequent visit tentatively scheduled for 4/30/25 and showed the total bill would be $571.38 (which included the $201.43 for parts) which I paid in advance.
The parts arrived fairly quickly and I opened the shipping bag to inspect the contents which consisted of a water filter (my existing water filter was new and the leak wasn’t originating from the filter) and a cap/plug for the water filter which I assumed would allow water to by-pass the filter. These parts didn’t appear to match the issue so I attempted to contact Sears Home Services to speak to a technician. Unfortunately, I was unable to find any contact information that would connect me with a person. In the meantime, the automated Sears Home Services scheduling system contacted me to set up the follow-up appointment on 4/21/25. I changed my work schedule to accommodate the new date.
On 4/20/25 I received an automated call informing the me that the technician needed to reschedule the appointment and referred me to an email to reschedule. I returned to the Sears Home Services website in an attempt to speak with someone. I remained concerned that the parts shipped were incorrect and that the technician may not be as skilled as he needed to be to complete the repair. After numerous calls (and dead-ends that led to automated assistants), I was finally able to speak with a person. I explained my concerns and was told that I could request a technician who was more skilled/experienced than the person who made the first service call. This person set up a rescheduled visit for 4/22. I again changed my work schedule to accommodate this new date. On the morning of 4/22 I received an automated call informing me that the technician needed to cancel the service call.
Two days later I received an automated call to reschedule the service visit. I attempted to request to speak to a representative but there was no option to do so. Again, I returned to the Sears Home Services website in an attempt to speak with someone but was unsuccessful. At this point, I had paid $571.38 for a ten-minute “service call” (diagnostic?) and parts (1 water filter and one small plastic plug/cap). Water continued to leak into a ½ gallon container placed inside the refrigerator every day. I was unable to speak to anyone at Sears Home Services.
I then contacted my credit card company to dispute the charge since I couldn’t communicate with Sears Home Services. I would have much preferred speaking with Sears, perhaps completing the repair or returning the parts and paying for the original service call. My credit card company reviewed the dispute and determined that Sears Home Services stated I had received the parts (true) and the repair was completed (not true).

The appointment for LG washer repair has been rescheduled 3 times, with the reason being given that the part will not arrive in time. Each reschedule is 1 week later. The part has been sitting here with me for 2 weeks, and so the rescheduling is due to lack of technicians being available. Sears wants you to get frustrated and hire someone on your own to do the repair. Before buying the home warranty, I could always get a repair through Sears or others within a couple of days. Paying for the warranty is a way to push you to the back of the line repeatedly.

Beware: Deceptive Practices and Potential Fraud. I strongly urge others to avoid using Sears Home Services. My experience has been nothing short of a nightmare and, frankly, borders on fraudulent business practices. In March, I paid nearly $600 for a stove repair. I was told a replacement part was being ordered and the technician would return within a week. Instead, my appointment was repeatedly cancelled due to supposed backorders & delays. After six weeks, an aftermarket part—ordered by Sears, from Amazon—was shipped to my home.
When the technician arrived, he confirmed the part was incorrect and incompatible. He advised that the original manufacturer part was unavailable, said he would take the part with him & have it returned to Amazon, and promised me a full refund would be issued. That refund never came. Since then, I’ve been stuck in an endless loop between a useless AI system (“Samantha”) that can’t assist with refunds and directs you to the website, and a website that refers you back to the phone line. I filed a dispute through my bank which was recently denied after Sears falsely claimed the part was delivered and service was rendered.
After days of persistence, I reached a live agent who confirmed their records showed the part was returned and no repair completed. He agreed the refund should have been processed over a month prior and said the issue would be escalated. I was told to expect an email confirmation within two days. That never came.
I followed up again today and was told to “be patient”—despite having waited nearly three months already. I asked for a supervisor, was placed on hold for 15 minutes, then disconnected. When I tried to call back, the system looped me back to the AI assistant, which again directed me to the website before hanging up.
This is not just poor customer service—it’s unethical. Sears Home Services took my money, failed to deliver the service, and has made it virtually impossible to speak with a human or get resolution. These tactics are consistent with deceptive trade practices and even constitutes as consumer fraud under state law. Please don’t make the same mistake I did. Avoid this company at all costs.

As a result, all of my food spoiled after three days without refrigeration.
I called again to officially cancel my contract and was told everything was finalized and no further payments would be taken. However, a week and a half later, my credit card was charged for multiple fees, including the monthly payment. I went to the online portal and saw that my account was still active. This means the representative never cancelled my contract when I called in a week and a half earlier. Despite my attempts to explain the situation, Sears showed no accountability.

The problem was that he reinstalled it crooked, where there was a flush condition on the left side and 1/2 to 3/4 inch gap from the cabinet face on the right side. I noticed this when he left. Called Sears back and scheduled a fix-it call back. Next day, William came over without the proper tools and wanted me to sign a waiver if the floor or cabinets got damaged. I refused. He left. There were 4 more scheduled fix appointments and these were all cancelled late in the day by the installers. Uncaring, and shoddy reinstallation and I would not have them back in my home. So sad.

I had a Sears protection agreement in effect. Had 6 appointments to fix my Kenmore washer but technician only came once to see what was wrong. This happened from March - May 5, 2025 as of this date my washer never got repaired. Got several emails and text but all were confusing from he's on his way and they gave his name or you have to reschedule. When I called only got recording or AI named Amanda. They couldn't find my service call until I input service order number.
After paying $405.30 in 2024 with Master Protection Agreement still in effect until 6/23/25 I should be reimbursed the entire amount because the agreement was violated. I will never do business with them ever and I have been a customer over 20 years. What happened to customer service. There's is non existent. They have had the nerve to send me an email regarding a Sears Protection Agreement. No way and I shredding my Sears credit card. Thanks but NO THANKS consider this customer GONE.

Sears Home Service has been a terrible experience! I made an appointment to repair my John Deere riding mower. Waited 4 days for the appointment. Had to take the day off because the service window is 8am-5pm. I waited all day and they never showed up, called, send an email or text. I tried several times to reach a human and the closest I got was an AI. The AI told me all we can do since “I missed my appointment”. AI did not acknowledge Sears missed the appointment and would only reschedule. I am beyond words frustrated!😠

If I could give them 0 stars I would. I purchased a service plan from SEARS home services in April 2024 because I had used sears services in the past and had a great experience. The current administrators of the Sears home services brand is "Transform SR brands LLC". This new sears service brand is a total rip-off! I had a problem occur at the beginning of 2025 that involved both my clothes washer and dishwasher. It took 2 months to fix the clothes washer...we had to travel to the nearest laundromat and pay during the 2 months.
First, their time frame for arrival to the house is always 8 am-5pm, so you need an entire day to wait around for them to show up. When they did show up, they ordered a part, it was the wrong part, so they 2 visits later, they ordered another part. During this time, they canceled appointments twice with no consideration for the time that my wife had taken off from work to accommodate their schedule. So the clothes washer get fixed finally. The dishwasher required another service person to come out. They ordered a part based on my wife's description (no diagnostic).
When it arrived, they said that I could fix the machine. I refused, since I'm paying for a contract and made them send out a service person. He arrived about a month later, after 2 cancellations. The part was wrong, so they needed another part. It got ordered, and in March they installed it. Keep in mind that this had been ongoing since January. Since the second part was installed my dishwasher now leaks, which it wasn't doing before! I tried on several occasions to contact the service plan administrators only to find that all phone numbers go to an automated line with the exception of this one (847-418-8223). I'm posting this because it is near impossible to find. Anyway, I have canceled my contract with them and I'm moving on to a reputable company. If you're looking for TERRIBLE SERVICE from everyone involved, and appliance in WORSE CONDITION than when they started, try your luck.

Don't bother with the home warranty service. Sears is not what it use to be and they don't stand behind products or this expensive warranty. You are better off to save the monthly fee and buy a new appliance if yours breaks or buy from somewhere else that has better customer service. My appointment to fix my washing machine has been rescheduled over 5 times now, no call and now show for most of those after taking the full day off of work waiting for them.
Now they say the part is no longer available but instead of replacing the washer, they are ordering refurbished parts to try to fix it so I am waiting another 3 days in hopes that it shows up after already waiting for over a month and then crossing my fingers that a used part will work. You can't reach a human, everything is AI prompted. You have to act like you want to buy a new warranty to actually reach someone to talk to but even escalating it to the supervisor level doesn't help when talking with a human as they are still reading from a script and not helpful. I want Sears of the old days back.

We had a washer that needed a new pump. Started the claims process. Repairman showed two days later, removed said pump and ordered a replacement. He said it would arrive in 3 days. Six weeks later, after countless calls and speaking to people who are difficult to understand, a promise to replace the machine at 4 weeks (someone will get with you in 5 business days), no one did. Called again, the part that wasn’t available for 4 weeks is now arriving. Received part, notified Sears, tech assigned for Monday. Of course, he didn’t show. Next available is Friday. It’s always Mondays and Fridays, so you can bother them over the weekend. And don’t get me started with the virtual assistant with an attitude. I understand why they have a 1-star rating. Stay clear.

Came out the next day when I called to get my refrigerator fixed. The part was $755.17 and I later found it on Amazon for under $300. I signed up for the $75.70 monthly service contract. It had to be rescheduled once at the last minute after I waited at home all day - no explanation. It was fixed. A month later the refrigerator stopped working. I called and it took two weeks for the repair tech to come. He ordered a part that came in on a Tuesday and he was supposed to be here on Friday. About 4pm I got a message saying they had to reschedule again for the next Friday. The next Friday came and about 3:30 they wanted to reschedule. The closest option was Tuesday but when I selected that it said it was no longer available.
Now the next time was a few more weeks away. I called and cancelled the policy. It seems like I'm not the first one who got great service - until they signed a service contract. Then, it seems like I was placed on a non-priority list of some sort. I live in southeastern Wisconsin - about 45 minutes southwest of Milwaukee and it appears they don't have service techs in the area - both fellows that showed up lived nearly an hour away in a Chicago suburb. It's unfortunate because the plan would be worthwhile if they had adequate staff. Unfortunately they do not.

I have ZERO confidence about anything Sears Home Service has to say. Their performance under this warranty has been abysmal. First they send someone to fix my old Kenmore clothes washing machine. Then they can't get all the parts after the repairman he verified that they were available. I was notified via e-mail that a replacement machine had been ordered for me. No prior notification about his decision by Sears. I ordered a replacement Kenmore machine and was given a delivery date. The scheduled delivery didn't happen on two different scheduled dates. It turned out that a replacement Kenmore machine was not available. Then I selected a different brand. Now that has not been available despite the fact that I have been given 3 different delivery dates.
What are you people doing? Your so-called home warranty has been worthless. I haven't had a working washing machine for more than 3 months and Sears has blown through 5 different delivery dates. At no time has Sears ever contacted me to tell me that they were not going to deliver the machine on the scheduled date. I had to sit around and waste my time all day. That happened once again on April 25, 2025.
So today UPS leaves a notice on my front door that they had come to make a pickup of the parts that they had delivered to fix my machine (they couldn't get them all despite their assurance to the repairman that they had all of them). No notice that they were coming of course. I was taking an afternoon nap and they left a notice on my front door. I took the parts down to UPS and they wouldn't accept them because I had no mailing labels. Sears had never gave me call or sent me a notice that the pickup would be made today and a mailing label or the address to put on a mailing label.
Now Sears has sent me an e-mail that a have a new delivery date of June 20, 2025 for my replacement washing machine. SEARS CALL THIS CUSTOMER SERVICE? No wonder Sears has all but gone out of business. I warn you to avoid Sears at all costs. Go with anybody else. Their warranties used to be the gold standard. These aren't.

A technician came to my home to fix the snowblower in Jan 2025. I requested online and he arrived as scheduled. He did not have the parts, so ordered them. Unfortunately we were charged for the parts and repair $614.00. A new date was scheduled, but it was a no show. Another date was scheduled, no show, they claim there was no repair person in the area to fix the snowblower, then communication just stopped. I called to find out where the parts were that were ordered and paid for.. They had to reorder, since no one seemed to know where they were. The technician apparently had them. Wrong again. I finally got 2 parts shipped to my home. The carburetor was shipped to a warehouse and the technician was to pick it up.
I had the confirmation that it was delivered to Joe. No one seemed to know anything. I then demanded my money back. I have called 6 times since Feb. All with the same answer. The return is pending, they can only communicate through email. I am beyond upset and will now report to the BBB, FTC, the bank and everyone that is relevant. I have had work done with Sears before, was never a problem, so had high expectations that things would be fixed.. Not sure what happened, but they have turned into a business that I will never contact again.
All I needed was to have the snowblower repaired. If you cannot perform, refund my money, end of story. You cannot just take my money with no service and seemingly with no intention of doing anything. I have a signed receipt and withdrawal status from our bank!! They have failed miserably. How disappointing!!!! I would highly recommend that you look elsewhere for repair service. Come on....I've been calling for a refund since Feb 27th, Mar 7th, Mar 20th, Mar 28th, April 11th....

I have had several home warranty companies. I have had Sears for nearly ten years on two houses in two different service areas.I only filed a handful of claims and each was handled horribly. First, they state that they have technicians in your service area, right? Nope, they are lying! I had ONE service call where they sub-contracted another company to come out, and that one took so long I ended up just buying a new appliance. They exercise fraud to induce people to enter into service contracts, and then they breach those contracts by not performing the work or denying the claim. In my case I have experienced both.
Most recently, I ended up having a claim denied which definitely should have been paid. They operate in BAD FAITH. They are almost as bad as Choice. I am not litigious, but I will gladly enter into litigation with them because they are getting away with murder by not paying claims. Avoid at all costs unless you want to find your own contractor, get the claim denied, and end up paying for the entire thing PLUS have the headache of paying 75 bucks a month for nothing.

Interesting that Sears Home Services would send me an email requesting parts status/return, when we have been calling your services department for installation of said parts since 25 February. You have scheduled installation three times and cancelled three times. The customer services reps (Alina, Diego, Reyzel, Angel, Joshua, Jefh, Pablo, Maggie and supervisors Esa, Kim and Iza} have all given us different stories of why the installation services had been cancelled. Supervisor Esa told us back in March that a case manager had been assigned who will call us within 24 to 48 hours (still have not received that call). Then Supervisor Kim on 14 April stated that our case had been elevated to priority and someone from intervention would call within 24 to 48 hours (no call), then supervisor Iza on 17 April stated that someone would call from intervention by 5pm EDT (NO CALL).
So now we receive this email requesting parts returned, WHAT THE HELL? Why can't Sears Home Services honor the contract that you entered with us to provide coverage on the covered appliances. You took our money but have not provided the services you agreed to provide and now you are asking for parts to be returned?

First the tech showed up was here for 5 minutes and then took off and said the problem was in the dryer line and they only covered the unit. I cleaned the whole vent line and the problem still exist so they ordered new sensors and scheduled an appointment. They give a window from 8-5 so you have to take the whole day off. At 12pm they canceled my appointment and I had to schedule another appointment. Now I have taken a day and need to take another. I tried to call customer service because I have been with out my dryer now for over a month.

For anyone out there I would strongly suggest finding another service as this one will cost you both in money and in time and your problem will still exist for months on end. They don’t care because of AI they don’t even hear your complaints. They overbilled me for my appointment also but you can’t get ahold of anyone.

Most customers don't have that luxury and have to take off work. Then, when Sears doesn't show up that customer just lost eight hours of leave from work, because Sears gives you a window of 8am-5pm. If I hadn't already paid for the service call I would find someone else. When you call customer service, it's in another country.

Here's the number one problem as I observe all reviews and the automated replies. There's just no direct connection from consumer to an actual point of contact with Sears. Not even the responses to the reviews are a real person. They're AI generated. I had an appointment window from 8 am to 5 pm and at 1:41 pm I received a text message canceling. Mind you, I had a friend (probably not so much anymore) house sit for me the entire day so I could go to work. Now, the real headache begins. Trying to reach a live person at Sears is..... well, it's just not going to happen. After several attempts, and more of my time handed over to Sears, I was able to crack the code to a number that gave me a foreigner. He apologized, and assured me the problem would be escalated to a smaller window the next morning.
Fast forward to me waiting the next morning with no notifications or tracking as he had assured me. I begin the journey of more calls, only to eventually be told by a foreigner that I had a window of 8 to 5. After I explained everything, we canceled that day's appointment and went back to the theory of the escalated shorter window of the following morning. Later that day I received a cancelation text at 1:35 pm to cancel that day's appointment, the one that the representative and I had already canceled in our conversation earlier that morning. Next morning, as I sit waiting for any notifications regarding the alleged appointment, nothing, except for texts and emails telling me that I have already passed my appointment for the previous day, and I should reschedule. Yaass, Sears, I should hang on to the bars of your merry-go-round for some glimmer of an actual local to arrive, and from the sounds of other reviews, a whole new set of issues.

I have had Sears Home Warranty for a few years now and recently renewed with them. I am beginning to regret that decision. We pay $55 monthly plus a $100 deductible when you call them for service. They do not send a technician for a diagnostic visit. Instead, they ask you questions about your appliance and, based on your answers, they order the part(s) they think necessary for the repair. The parts are sent to your home address and the technician is scheduled a week or two later, when the parts should have arrived.
At their request, we had to cancel the given repair appointment the night before because the part(s) never arrived. When calling to reschedule, I was told I had to start all over again because the appointment had been cancelled. I was also reminded that I could be charged another $100 if the technician deemed this a new job! No one at the Sears Home Warranty knows where the parts that had been initially ordered are.
When you call their Home Service Provider telephone, the people you finally get to speak to simply relay information given to them. WHO gives them the information? These individuals are polite and patient but it is VERY difficult to understand them and asking them to repeat what they said does not always improve the communication. No one can commit to an appointment time (morning or afternoon) - when you finally get an appointment date you are expected to be home from 8:00 until 5:00 in the afternoon. There is no professional out there who makes such demands on anyone’s time. Why should Sears?
