Sears

I have a Master Protection Agreement with Sears, for the last 12 years. On 01/05/19 my refrigerator quit cooling. We lost all food. Technician came today. He found the model/serial number unreadable, so, they said NOTHING they can do. They service this unit several times before BUT NOW that they have to pay for lost of food and maybe a new unit they have a good excuse. They have in the records, the model/serial numbers, they ordered parts before BUT now they think it is another refrigerator...

I can sleep again and wake up refreshed without tossing and turning all night. I also purchased a second one. I love these mattress.

The salesclerk in the appliance department went above and beyond my expectations in selling a refrigerator to me after shopping at many other stores unsatisfied. The refrigerator was the same everywhere else with a little lower price point, the sales clerk had delivery problems that did not meet my criteria, he got the price even lower and sold me a great warranty and got it delivered in two days versus two weeks at the store next door. It seemed as if every problem we encountered he has a solution, it was hot, we had been shopping for three hours for this product and we should have went there first.

We hired Sears Appliance Repair to repair our Samsung refrigerator. The first technician was incompetent, barely looked at the fridge, and did not provide accurate information about the problem. He used our credit card to order parts, but Sears has refused to provide us with a receipt for that transaction. When the second technician arrived a week later after the parts had arrived, he was unable to complete the repair because the first technician hadn't told us we needed to unplug the fridge the day before. He had to reschedule for 5 days later, on a day that no one can be home, despite the fridge being completely taken apart and non-functional.

Sears came to my home to repair a dishwasher. They couldn't do it. They charged me $133 anyway. I paid before the repairman left and received confirmation of payment. For the last 3 months I have been harassed and by Sears for that exact payment and my credit score is on the line. After a long online chat and phone call a month ago, they acknowledge it's already been paid. On their system though I still owe them money and they refuse to change it despite them having record of the payment and evidence that I don't owe them anything. Unbloodybelievable.

Apparently HMS home warranty contracts with Sears for ALL repair work, so right there it tells you that there will be no truly personalized customer service or incentive or pressure to right any wrongs. Sears repaired my leaking freezer and a few months later the same problem arose. I had to take off a whole day from work the first time because they won't give you any time table other than 8-5p. The Charlottesville, VA, technician came about 445p and the repair took about 30 minutes tops. I also paid for this repair to satisfy the warranty deductible of $125.

Horrible Experience with Sears Home Delivery. I purchased a Craftsman riding lawn mower. Home delivery was scheduled for May 18 between 2:30 & 4:30 pm. The delivery team was also supposed to call either the night before the delivery or the morning of the delivery to confirm. Nobody called and nobody showed up. At 4:45 pm I called Sears customer service and was told (after a 45 minute wait on hold) that the delivery truck was in route and would be at my house around 6:30 pm. Guess what, nobody showed or called.

Bought a mattress, hated it from get go, called after week, wanted to trade up more expensive mattress. Was told had to wait 31 days before could do anything. I couldn't verify even if received correct item because nothing on mattress tag matched sales receipt but not their problem. Website explains their policies so get charged 69.99 for pickup and 15% of purchase price whether exchanging or returning. These policies stink, especially if receiving incorrect item.

I purchased a metal detector from Sears online. The item arrived two days later than promised but I didn't mind that much. Then the item would not work. As a matter of fact, I think the item had been used and resold to me judging by the marks around the location that held batteries. I wanted to return it and Sears gives you two options, return it online or return it to a store. Since I live about 30 miles away, I decided to repackage it, print the receipt off, and drive it to the store.

Bought a grill just under a year ago and purchased the cover as it is an outdoor grill and the Sears in-home warranty. So I called Sears to get the warranty replacement for the burners that became cracked due to rust and was told they are not covered because of environmental circumstances. I have NEVER had a grill do this. I then was directed to the parts team at Sears and they said the parts were $185.00 and I only paid $200 for the entire grill. This is crap, the grill, the warranty & Sears in their promise to cover my product because it was left outside and it was misuse letting it get exposed to moisture even with the Kenmore grill cover used. So do not buy ANYTHING from Sears or their warranties because they will not cover it. I looked at their warranty plan and do not see ANYWHERE it states it does not cover environment exposure. I mean really it's an outdoor grill, of course, it's going to exposed to the environment.

Our fridge valve broke so we called Sears to come in to fix it. Firstly prior to setting an appointment the Sears representative told me multiple times the diagnostic fee of $125 will be deducted out of the bill. The tech came and looked at our fridge (opened the panel looked around and confirmed what we already knew) and told my parents that the he will order the part for $60. He then showed my parents the “calculation” and tried to charge them $600 saying that’s how much it will cost for him to come back and fix it. When they mentioned deducting the $125 diagnostic fee he said “Oh right, $475 will be the total then." Luckily my parents were smarter than that and refused. He told them he will order the part ($60.60) to our home and they can fix it themselves since he won’t come back. They thought this was ok.

My refrigerator was either not cooling or freezing my food. I had to wait 13 days to get a tech out who only orders a part which was not available in the Tucson area. Two weeks later another tech installs the parts but it does NOT solve the problem. I get online to request another service request and the tools do not work on three different browsers. I finally called the Services support number that I had been given and they told me that I had called the wrong service and they could not help me. I tried the internet tool again and finally get to speak to an agent who was not helpful except that he agreed to get a supervisor to call me back after I found out that I would have to wait ANOTHER 2 weeks for another attempt for them to, hopefully, resolve the problem. I am going to drop my Sears Home Warranty for a business that is more customer-focused and has competent service people.

I ordered two girls dress with size 8 and 10. After one month, what I have received was two dress with wrong sizes and even different style. I contacted them and requested to return them. Then I was supposed to receive an email for return and I did not. After contacting them again I request the exchange and they said it is okay. Then I have received an email for return which I had to pay for the shipping. Recently I contacted them and they said it is impossible to exchange them. I spent 100 dollar on these items, and my time to get it fixed before my party and now I have no dress for my children. I can't order anything again in this short time. I am really disappointed of Sears and their Customer Service.

Do not deal with these ignorant idiots.1-2 hrs to get help. There is no such thing as home warranty or any warranty. You will never be able to make an appointment or place a claim with home warranty. I asked the Asian woman what her employee number was and she repeated 2 different numbers during the call. And pronounced her name as See laud ee a (Claudia). I swear to god that is how she pronounced her name. Her employee number is **. She fumbled on the number! Sears is a scam. Stay away! They are never going to make it! Eddie drained every dime out of it.

Sears sent a technician to fix a washer machine. He proceeded to inform me that the machine needed to be repaired costing me $600 or purchase a new machine. The repair tech was misinforming me. After he left, I received a second opinion and there was nothing wrong with the machine. The machine works just fine. It was a one time problem with the machine being out of balance because of a too small load. I was unfamiliar with this issue. But of course the technician did not diagnostic testing and was completely trying to take advantage of a customer.

15 days after you shipped the return item, you probably not get your refund. Then you called customer service, you were told to wait for 7-10 business days. After 10 days, you did not get full refund. Then you called customer service again, then you were told wait another 7-10 business days. After 10 days, you still not got the full refund. Then you were asked to wait another 7-10 days. After 10 days, you still not got the full refund. You were always promised to be helped, but the help never came fully and timely. This is Sears.

I had a Sears Home Service repair done on my oven yesterday. I was charged $ 199 for the diagnostic, $ 156 for the labor and $ 72 for the part (ignitor) for a total of $ 353. The repairman was here for only 35 minutes. I was WAY OVERCHARGED because the diagnostic fee was NOT included in/for the labor. In all the repairs I’ve ever had done-on anything, the diagnostic fee was ALWAYS applied to the labor. And the $ 156 labor for 35 minutes of work???? WAY OVERCHARGED.

Our first issue with the refrigerator not working was around 2/14/19. We called for service under our master protection plan. Tech could not be scheduled for a week. Tech arrives and says we need parts. Orders parts and sets return for 2/27. Immediately I see this as a problem. 2 weeks for what we had hoped would be a one time repair. A protection agreement without a guarantee service level is useless. Sears should have had a tech at our house within 48 hours. They also do NOT carry any parts on the trucks. Why?? That makes no sense. Repair did NOT work and within 48 hours I had to call Sears for another service call. Another visit, more parts and now we are out 1 month from initial call to mid March.

Never buy an appliance at Sears! They deliver broken items, try to scare you into keeping them, and then refuse to refund you. The worst part is; we NEVER had this item in our possession. ???? #searssteals

Sears, called Sears on 4-29-19 for a dryer repair and the technician arrived and said I needed a new Dryer motor. Paid for the motor and rescheduled my repair appointment for 5-7-19 for between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM, I received a call at 11:00 AM telling me that the tech will not be arriving on Tuesday 5-7-19 and rescheduled the repair for Thursday 5-9-19 and Tech said we need an additional part. So the tech ordered the part, and couldn’t give me a new appointment and and an idea when the part will be here. So after 2 days of missing work, according to the 800 number conversations it could be another 2 weeks for the repair. So I am sharing this story with whomever reads this DO NOT USE SEARS!

Brand new refrigerator stopped working after 45 days. First technician came out, unplugged it and plugged it back in and called it a day. Very next day, the fridge went down again. Second technician came out, unplugged it, said he would be back in 6 days to replace parts. At this point, the refrigerator had been down 8 days. I called on a Thursday to see if I could get an earlier appointment. Set up an appointment for Monday between 1pm-5pm. The tech didn't call until 6:50. The refrigerator is located in an office building. I told the scheduler the refrigerator was in an office building and we closed at 5 pm. The tech had no idea it was in an office building and told me I should have made an AM appt. to guarantee their arrival.

Sears had 3 technicians scheduled from 10am-2pm and 1pm-5pm, only two out of 3 technicians showed up {as late as possible without going over the 4-hour window}. But the work was absolutely unacceptable. For example, for the scheduled maintenance on the range, they basically turned it on and said it was working, I could have told them that. They basically vacuumed around the appliances and that was it. The worst part of this is when I tried to call and complain, I was told I could make another appointment, take another day off, and get another technician to do the job. They would not refund or credit me for the shoddy work I had already had done. 3 calls to get this unacceptable answer. Sears home services used to be exemplary, but now it's a rip-off. I have always purchased Sears appliance for their reliability and service but sadly those days are done. I will never use this service again and will tell everyone to avoid Sears.

Home Warranty is not a real thing! If I could give a negative rating I would! We have been 6 weeks without a working dishwasher. One of the assigned technicians broke a copper pipe. Another technician came and said the other technician broke it. No one will take responsibility for the damage. I am switched from person to person while listening to annoying music, only to get put on hold again. Sears and Sedgwick pass this back and forth and nothing is done. No one seems to know how to resolve our issue. The lack of ability to get anything done is astonishing.

I ordered fitness equipment from Sears online. Turns out that it was from a third party called Bestone. A month after ordering I had no product and no tracking number. I contacted Sears chat who said they would issue refund. Instead, the product shows up on my porch 2 weeks later. Decided to make the best of it and put it together. I couldn't complete assembly because it's missing parts. Even if I could assemble, this fitness equipment would only be suitable for a very small person or child. I called Sears to seek a return.

I attempted to order a Kenmore washing machine from Sears online. My bank called me to confirm my order. The order went through. I then received an e-mail from Sears saying someone may be contacting me in reference to my order. The money has been taken and returned to my account minimum of 10 times. I called to see what the issue was and was on hold for 45 minutes.

I have a 2 1/2 year old Kenmore refrigerator that stopped working. I called and a technician was able to come out that day. After calling in to the company and doing a diagnostic on it, it was determined to be the electric board which would cost $715 to repair. The first thing that the tech then did was to try to sell me a home warranty to cover all of my appliances. This would cut the cost of the repair in half. I naively signed up for it. After reading horrible reviews, I immediately cancelled the warranty the next morning.

Today is the third time speaking with the maintenance department about a repair for the Kenmore washer we purchased from Sears. On two occasions the repair person said they came to our home, but didn’t. This last mix up was with the day the technician was supposed to arrive - on a Wednesday and they claim they came on the Monday before. The customer service workers and supervisors on the appointment repair line are difficult for me to understand and that’s frustrating. We’ve paid for maintenance agreements and feel like that’s been money thrown away because we can’t get the maintenance people to show up to maintain our Sears purchased product.

To anyone thinking of using Sears for TV repairs, which was my case or any of their services... I would really reconsider NOT TOO. I originally looked into someone reputable (or so I thought) and checked out Sears. I thought why not. I REGRET IT!! I hire them on to do TV repair back in February and had them come out a second time in March to order a part for special order. I had to cancel due them taking about a month to get the part for my TV. First let me tell you they don't hardly ever email you and follow up on orders with you-communication is KEY. Anyways, I request for a refund of $205.40 for my part later in March. They told me it would take 21 business days (which by the way I think is LONG!).

After two weeks of purchasing central air have not had one return phone call about scheduling project. Supposed to start in 7 to 10 days. Everywhere I call I get the runaround. And so disappointed and no longer have trust in Sears.

So you pull out of work and set aside four hours to wait for the technician and he/she doesn't appear. You call Sears and they say, "Sorry, would you like to reschedule?" You say, "But what's to say I won't wait another four hours, lose another four hours of pay, and no technician again." "Because we will put you at the top of the line," she says repeatedly. "We will prioritize you." But this turns out to be wrong. Still waiting another four hours. It all seems as certain as buying a lottery ticket.
