12/24/19: Sears tech came to look at outdoor unit, it's frozen over. He puts "Stop Leak" in it. Charges me $200 fee for showing up. 1/13/20: Tech came again. Unit is still frozen. This time he says compressor is bad and they order another one. No charge since it's the same problem. Actually the "Stop Leak" can kill a compressor... but whatever. 1/30/20: Compressor installed. $2500 billed to warranty company. No charge to me as it's all the same problem. Sometime in Feb: Unit still frozen, tech comes out and without looking inside says it's a dirty filter.
I try to get them back, warranty company denies claim. Sears will not honor their 90 day repair policy. Now they are charging me $200 for one of the visits after I ALREADY paid the first time! 3 phone calls, 3 hang ups, and 4 hours later, I have literally gotten nowhere. They have read the tech reports and agree that I shouldn't pay. But when each one talks to their supervisor, they hang up. HUGE SCAM. I seriously wish there was something that could help me right now. How do these companies have the power to kill our credit report and steal our money? It's insane.

It started in February, went online and put my model no. in my stove. Came up, I looked through the parts and ordered the top grill on my gas stove for the right side, double checked part no., paid, submitted my order. Everything seemed fine, the part came in and it was for the left side of my stove, called and explained they sent the wrong part and sent me a new one and refunded me (which took 3 weeks to get credited on my account).
The 2nd one arrived and it’s the wrong part again, I called. Talked to a supervisor this time. She assured me she would be sending the correct grill top for the right side again, waited and it arrived, behold the wrong grill again, called a supervisor again. This time she didn’t charge me and decided to order the left side grill. Just to see if the right side would come in, it arrived and they got it right. It was the left side, called again. This time they charged me for 2. She ordered the left and the right grill. They came in. UPS on video threw it when delivered and broke one in half! But both were for the left once again, I guess they have Helen Keller’s relative part picking orders, so now I am going to call Sears corporate office and see what they can do, if I ever need appliances I am buying Samsung.

I ordered 2 face masks at the end January. They were promised to be delivered Feb 11th but never arrived. I knew it may be short so wait till 18th. Still no sign of it. Chat with Sears, cancel the order and ask refund. Sears said, "Will response in 72 hours". I contacted again then another 72 hours. Repeated 3 times so far. Very disappointed. If you cannot deliver product, at least processing refund in reasonable time. I guess it short cash. Be care of. Try not to shopping on it.

Kenmore Series 500 washer is a lemon. This is a terrible washer, I purchased it about 6 months ago and have had nothing but problems with it. I’ve has the transmission replaced, 2 drums in the washer have been replaced and one that’s new now has a dent in it - and they don’t want to replace it and several other problems. Sears does not want to replace it. It’s a TOTAL LEMON. DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE.

We all know quality of a product and backing that product is key in many of our purchases. Sears has always touted its tools for being American made and with a FULL LIFETIME WARRANTY, well I was need of some specialty tools and upon arriving in the Sears tool department I first noticed a NEW large banner saying “LIFE TIME GUARANTEE WITH PROOF OF PURCHASE”. REALLY??? Proof of purchase and it’s steel and says SEARS right on the tools.
I guess since Sears tools are now made in CHINA and NOT MADE IN AMERICA THEY WILL ONLY BACK THEIR TOOLS IF AND ONLY IF YOU RETAIN THAT PAPER RECEIPT FOR LIFE for Sears to honor their warranty. I was so disgusted at that point that I looked over every tool in the Augusta, Georgia store for their country of origin and quality and to my horror I found only one tool MADE IN AMERICA, a rubber hammer. $29.98 for something I really didn’t need but I bought it simply because it supported an American worker. The quality of the tools I had looked over was substandard at best. Every tool owner I had ever known was proud to own Sears tools because of their quality but not today. Ever wonder why Sears stays in bankruptcy court??? I’ll not shop Sears again.

I placed a order & it was shipped to my prior address in another State. I haven't lived at the address in 2 years. I am being charged for this order. I have called customer service to no avail. I received a e-mail showing it was delivered by UPS & the tracking number was on this e-mail also. The shipment was accepted by a person living at this residence now. I am hoping they will return the shipment to Sears. I have no control concerning this matter as I do not know the person or persons living at my old address. I can't seem to make Sears Customer Service understand I cannot return this order to Sears as I did not receive it!! What can I do????

Warranty company ordered a fridge for me last week. When ordered, it said the fridge was available for delivery on Saturday, Feb 1. They finally call me on Monday and tell me it will be delivered today (2/5). I have been waiting at home all day. I just received a call that says it will be delivered 2/6. No explanation for the change, and they acted like I am an idiot for even questioning why the delivery time was changed, telling me they don't know but it has and I need to be home or they will charge a second delivery fee.

One star because it was required for the review. Please NEVER order anything through Sears online. You could possibly be ordering from the biggest scam artist in the industry and Sears is not it does not back their guarantee when it comes to that seller. False advertisers a treadmill for $29.00. I purchased three. I then receive 3 $4.99 headphones rather than the treadmills. I have been battling with Sears and this seller for 3 weeks to obtain my refund and the same story each time.

My HPT 12" compound miter saw arrived today and had everything but the handle used to change saw cuts ie from 90 degrees to 45 degrees. I contacted Sears first and was instructed by a computer customer service agent to contact CPO as they were a 3rd party marketplace seller for Sears and are responsible for their products. I then called CPO thinking a handle should be no big thing. Well it was! It seems they can only have me box everything up and return it to them for a refund. Meanwhile I have a job starting next week that requires this saw. Now it looks like I will be going to Home Depot to purchase one!! Thanks for the poor customer service SEARS and CPO. You've lost me as a customer!

I ordered 2 refrigerators on the 19 Dec 2019. I was given a delivery date for the 24 December, 2019. The date came and pass and my items were not delivered. I contacted Sears, who proceeded to tell me it was a manufacture delay. I was given a new delivery date for the 3 Jan. 2020. Guess, what the same thing happen again. Next delivery date for the 17 and 31st January. Guess what? The same thing happened again. I was given 4 different delivery dates and each time no one had the manners to reach out to me and say anything, bear in mind this was a Christmas gift.
They proceeded to tell me I can cancel the order and place a new order for items that's in stock. Hello these items that I brought, I brought them on Christmas special they had running. Now they are telling me to cancel the order, reorder and pay the additional for a new item after 6 weeks, and gave me a new delivery date for the 28 Feb. 2020, 10 weeks after they already took my money. If they did not have the items in stock why did they take my money and why they didn't give me the option of choosing something back in December when the special was on. This is the worst I ever came across and the agents have absolutely no manners. WORST EVER!!

My Kenmore range was not heating up. I called Sears and they sent a repair person who spent about 6 hours in my house trying to up-sell. He ordered a part for the range, which I had to pay for in full. He made another appointment to come back to install the part. The next day Sears cancelled the appointment and told me that I could not make an appointment until I received the part (fair enough). Weeks went by and after hours of phone calls, Sears customer service kept telling me that the part was on backorder, but they could not tell me what the part number was.
I got fed up and called a highly recommended local, family-owned appliance repair company. The business owner came out to look at the stove and told me that the circuit board had gone bad. He also called his parts vendor and they were able to tell him what the part number was, BUT they said it was impossible for that part to be on backorder since it was not manufactured anymore. The appliance repair guy said there was an easy fix. We would send the circuit board to be rebuilt. He recommended two companies (Circuit Board Medics and CoreCentric).
I sent my circuit board to Circuit Board Medics, they charged $159.00 (with a 2 year warranty). They repaired the board and I had it back in 6 days. I called my local appliance guy, he came back and installed the board, we tested the oven, and it works perfectly. I will never call Sears again and would recommend that nobody else waste their time. Sears made no attempt to fix my stove. And, by the way, I initiated a dispute with my credit card issuer and got the money back from the non-existent part that they made me pay for.

I called Kenmore Customer Service for our stove problem and I was connected to Sears Home Services. A customer representative from India answered my call. I told him the problem and he told me that he will schedule the repair service to check the problem. I specifically asked him first if I will get charge for this service. He clearly told me that I will only pay $45.00 for the service and will replace my stove if the technician will say it needed to be replaced. So, I thought it's worth it for that price.
The technician came. I told him what the problem was and right away he knew what the problem was without diagnosing the stove. He told me that I have to pay $250-$500 if I choose to fix it. So naturally, I refused because I can buy a brand new one for that priced. Here comes after over a month later, got a bill for $97.81 for repair service. I called and tried to dispute it but to my amaze Sears Company doesn't care about their customers anymore. I've been buying appliances from them for over 20 years (N. Seattle branch) and this is really a very disappointing experience for me.

This is the 3rd time I have gone through this with Sears. I have either gotten the wrong item or didn't receive the item at all and the only resolution for my inconvenience is sending the item back and repurchasing the item I should have received. Sears has never admitted fault for their faulty order pulling process. The manager is always in a meeting and won't be available for an hour "so call back." When it is Sears' fault then Sears should do the contacting. The offer of free shipping isn't compensation because after a certain threshold shipping is free anyway. This is the last opportunity Sears online will get from me but as far as your other customers, please find a better resolution or you will lose them to Amazon.

I placed an order through Sears with KingLinen, that I then cancelled within 5 mins. I contacted Kinglinen and FedEx because Sears did not stop the order. KingLinen had the order sent anyway and after FedEx came and got the never obtained package, KingLinen would NOT give me my full refund. Sears did nothing but put it in KingLinen. And let me add KingLinen does not have a return policy on Sears website, so it states:Sears will use their policy if one is not provided. That was not the case! Sears would not take the unwanted package not get my full refund. I contacted KingLinen where I was hung up on several times before contacting my credit card company for my return. The worse customer service I have ever dealt with, so if you want to give them your money, place an order, but I will never make a purchase from Sears not KingLinen again!!

On December 21, 2019 I had an appointment to get my washing machine fixed since it was making a very loud noise. The Technician came and verified the appliance and informed me that he was ordering 4 parts in order to fix it. He ordered the parts on the same day and left me an estimate of the order which was $1,303.56 in parts and $282 in labor for a total of $1,585.56. He also informed that all cost would be cover by my Master Protection Agreement (MPA). It was hard to believe that they were going to spend $1,585.56 to fix my washer when it actually cost about $650.
Today, January 23, 2020 (over a month waiting for the appliance to me fixed) I was informed that 2 of the 4 parts were still in backlog and they did not know when they would be available. So, I requested that the appliance be replaced since according to the terms and conditions of the MPA if the parts could not be found Sears would replace the appliance for a similar one. I was told that in my case I qualified for them to offer me a new washing machine but that there was a “hold” in the system that prevented them to process my claim.
I asked to talk to a supervisor and was told that he was not available. They told me to call back in 3 or 4 days. I also requested that the supervisor turn my call and never received it. This situation has turned into a nightmare and I’ve never had to deal with a situation like this before. I can’t even explain how angry, frustrated and dissatisfied I am with the customer service. I been a Sears customer for over 40 years, but they are not the service providers they once used to be.

I would have to state at this point after giving Sears Home Repair service 3 (yes 3!) opportunities to fix my dryer and them collecting fees - NOT TO USE THEM. FOR ANYTHING. 3 Visits, fees, stating everything is fine and it isn't - - - most of you know I am smart enough to know when there is an issue with a dryer...and $325.00 for a $110.00 part off the Internet with a 2-day delivery time? I checked in the mirror and I don't have the word "IDIOT" tattooed in my forehead. Horrible service, long delays, excessive "diagnostic" fees, long waits for parts, overpriced parts - - typical big repair service BS. The Sears ship is sinking and the Home Service is the anchor that will beat it to the bottom. And then the audacity to try and sell a home warranty system that doesn't "charge diagnostic fees" but charges a deductible with this kind of service? NOT!

Sears sent repair guys who were incompetent. Plus, it kept breaking again & again & again, so they had Gaul to demand we re-up the warranty coverage in order to fix it, when it should have been replaced! They spaced out their appointments to make sure our coverage would expire before they'd fix it for good. Nasty! Do NOT even think of using them! Best Buy is much, much, much more reliable & honest.

Sears online is a total scam. I ordered something and it went to a third party without my knowledge. They sent me the wrong product then would not provide a shipping label to return. Sears won't take it back in store since it's not their product. It costs almost as much to ship it back as it was to buy it. So I am totally scammed.

I had a laminate flooring put in less than a year ago. Was told by a Sears salesman that it was durable easy care. It was never mentioned it required special care. Ever Since it was initially Put in I have had multiple problems with it. The flooring has never been flushed. It keeps coming up. This last time I had someone come out they said the could see the floor needed to be redone. That he was going to suggest to the company that be done, he asked me what I used to clean the floor. I showed him it was a Lieberman mop. These mops squeeze out all the water. I recently received a letter denying my request for repair saying it was the method I used to clean my floor with.
I called and spoke to a supervisor by the name of Davi; she was not willing to hear me out. She just talked over me. She said I was supposed to use a swifter. No one told me this; if I had known these floors required this special attention I would have never purchased it: for it being a $3000.00 floor I would expect better quality and not so high maintenance. I tried going up the chain of command but of course they did not want to take responsibility so I am left with a high maintenance floor.

So couple months ago (first week of November 2019 to be exact), our Samsung Washing Machine broke, we heard a little explosion sound, and then the machine just stopped... with that said, we called Sears Home Service. I think we were able to schedule a technician to come over in around 10 days. The technician was really nice and we actually had quite a time talking about life and what not to buy in the future for washing machine… He then told me that the part wasn’t unavailable in his system, so he would have to order it (note that he ordered it right in front of me), and then asked me for the diagnostic charge, $109.
He told me it would normally take the parts’ department around 3 business days to do a research and if they can’t find the parts, that means that they will go ahead and contact me via email or phone and see if we want money back to buy a new one, or get a replacement. In the meantime, since I had to go back to Hong Kong for 2.5 weeks, I told him to just schedule December 10th for the next appointment.
December 8th ish come by, that’s when I got back from Hong Kong – I was like… where is the parts, and where is the email that I was promised. Nothing, of course. With that said, I called Sears Home Service and let them know I was waiting for the part, and if I am going to get the replacement since it seems like they can’t find the part. The representative over the phone jokingly said that, that is NOT how it works… and then I was like, that’s exactly what your technician told me when he was here?! And guess what I got after this? She told me that she wasn’t able to find the previous service on their system, and that the part was NEVER requested nor ordered. End up I 3-way the technician in, had him talked to the representative over the phone, still… nothing got done, and we had to canceled and rescheduled the service because we have no parts.
About 30 minutes later, another technician called and asked about my situation, and I told him about the whole part situation… he said that the part was not ordered and he didn’t know what the f his colleague was doing the first time, so he ended up drove over reluctantly to check on the machine, and then reordered the parts again. That was right around December 8 or 9th ish as I remembered. I then asked him when would be the earliest that I can get the washing machine fixed, he told me January 6, 2020 was the earliest, and since I really didn’t really have other choice, I reluctantly had to agree.
Over the next couple of weeks in December, the parts came – and don’t forget, I was still paying my $69.99/month fee, even though I wasn’t getting any benefits in the meantime. So the real story comes… On January 6, 2020, I was expecting a technician would show up between 8 and noon, and with that said, I have decided to work from home that morning so that I can stay at home to handle the service, I have waited until around 10:45am, and I decided to call Sears Home Service and see when the technician will show up. THAT’S WHEN I FOUND OUT THEY HAVE RESCHEDULED MY SERVICE CALL TO JANUARY 18, 2020 WITHOUT MY CONSENT.
I was angry, so I wanted to get to the bottom of it and asked… but guess what? I got pushed around like a ball that no one wants, and not a single soul was able to answer my question. I think I must have got transferred to around 4-5 different departments? So after around 30-45 minutes, I know that January 6, 2020 service was not something that they can do, so I requested the next day available, which I was told was January 9, 2020. Deep down in my heart I was like… sure, couple more days, fine. I told the representative to send me the confirmation email, and he said he would send it. I believe his name was Brian.
On January 7, 2020, I still haven’t received the email that Brian promised, so with that said, I called again. I was then told that current service date was still January 18, and no request was made on the 9th. And this time I politely asked if we can do January 10 and she said yes, and this time, confirmation email came. At around 1:45 pm PST today (January 9, 2020) – I received an email from Sears Home Service, confirming my appointment… and I was like, finally I can get this monster fixed.
AND GUESS WHAT?! At around 9:36 pm PST the same day, I received yet another email saying my appointment has been rescheduled, to January 15… SERIOUSLY?! This is why you are having SO MUCH NEGATIVE FEEDBACKS SEARS!! I am seriously thinking to just sell the broken machine, and just go ahead and buy another machine without ever talking to you guys anymore! Suggestions, anyone – the SO-CALLED customer service at Sears Home Service?!
Today is January 15, 2020, and I was promised that the technician was going to be here, and later on I was told that the technician showed up and no one was there. The matter was that, I was at home all day long since midnight and woke up at around 7am PST, waiting for the technician. I was then told that someone within the scheduling department was going to call me, but again, no one call. As I called in to cancel, I was then transferred to 4 different departments, and was again, left with nothing done, meaning the cancellation.

I bought a GE Profile stove online. The ad said free delivery, installation and removal of old stove. Also had an attractive finance free for 6 months. I placed my order and filled out the form for financing. My delivery date was changed 3 times and after I was approved I was told that I could not use it on this purchase.

They canceled it and my credit rating drop from excellent to very good!

He gave me a number to call to schedule an installer. The number I called got me a total idiot that I could not understand. After about an hour on the phone, I was given another number and told that my zip code was out of their installers area and I would have to call an installer. I am in the city limits and have never been told I was out of the area. I said that I would not pay for installation and my only option was to send it back which I was ready to do but feared I would not get all my money back.

The absolute WORST in Home Warranty services. Their fees are definitely higher than the typical home warranty company but they are nothing better than glorified high charging repair company. My microwave blew up in Nov 2019 and the tech said that my model was no longer in service and could not be repaired. He would then submit his report to Sears so they could start the claims process. After 7 excruciatingly painful phone calls over the past 10 weeks, I just learned today by a high & mighty sounding "case manager" that they cannot process the claim since their sub-contracting agency had not filed the case report. I wanted to cancel my plan but supposedly is locked in for another 6m under a "contract." Sears Home Warranty is a total SCAM. Give your business elsewhere and AVOID them at all costs.

I have a sears top loading washer of the 700S series. It was supposed to be at the top of the line for large capacity washers. Two weeks ago the washer just quit as it started a load. No power, nothing. I went through all the self diagnosis and decided that it was the electronic panel. Called Sears to order the part telling the parts guy that it was under warranty. I was told I would have to pay for the part and try and file for a parts refund. The part was $257 and change. I was next sent to the scheduling department who informed me that "of course I did not pay upfront for the part and was refunded for the part. I had an appointment for what I thought was a repair in about a week.
He then said, "Yes you are right. Thats is what's wrong." He then began to leave, I asked, "You aren't going to fix it?" He said, "No, I don't carry parts." He scheduled me for an appointment in 8 days. In the meantime I have to go to the laundry and paid over $60.00 to wash my husband's and my clothing. My scheduled appointment is here and guess what???? One part came and the other is on backorder with no promise of any arrival part. Sears is still looking for the part???? For one of the Sears products they sold.
I called again and was told how sorry they were.... That they would send me a $50.00 check. Now what kind of a warranty did I pay for? It was to be total parts and service at no charge. It was also suggested that I could rent a washer, pay for the rental and then file for reimbursement. I explained that my husband is disabled and not to lift more than 10 Lbs. That I also had health complications (just having a mastectomy within the year and not able to lift either). Having a home well over a century old, the appliances are in the basement with the stairways being steep and narrow. Where would we put the washer with the broken one in place? Who would hook it up and all? The appliances are setting on a raised platform of concrete due to water seepage during heavy rains.
Both my husband and I are Seniors. My husband has vascular dementia. I do all the repair work as best I can. My children and family live in other states. I have no family nearby. What do they expect people in our situation to do? SS disability does not stretch far enough to afford $60.00 weekly laundry costs. I was told that Sears had 21 days in which to find a part. I do not get it? It's not like I have some off brand obscure washer. It is a Sears brand probably made by one of 2 national brands. I see why Sears has gone out of business. We have a household of Kenmore products, I am very sorry to say.

I am sad that workers in Sears treat their customers like that. So badly. This is not the first time they lost my things. Before that they lost my other 2 orders and when they found them, the toys in the box were broken and crushed by another big boxes because they were looking for my stuff too long. I had to return broken toys on the spot same day. Sears will go out of business with the customer service merchandise pick up like that. They are not responsible, they lie to cover up their mistakes, they are rude and lack of knowledge...

I brought a greenhouse from Sears.com. It came and the bolts was missing. I call and was told that in order to get anything I’ll have to wait 48 hr because it was a third party. So I ask for a return label. Ever since the return label. I’ve been getting the run around and it’s been a month. Then they email me with sorry I’ll have to pay for my own return. It’s missing parts and I have to pay for a return. Omg are you kidding me. I never attach nothing most parts are still wrap the way it came. Now you telling me just 'cause it’s your fault that’s it’s missing the bolts. (I’ve ask to get the bolts replace but was inform that it would take 48 hr to contact the seller.

Gary **, Dec 30, 2019 | Holly Springs, NC. This has been a horrible experience from the beginning. I purchased the Whole House Plan. Extremely poor customer service. I made the mistake of trusting the SEARS NAME. Please don't make the same mistake I did by not reading the HORRIBLE reviews about this company. Regardless how poor the service is you can't just cancel the contract without paying a ridiculous penalty. The brochure reads "Once your plan is fully active after 30 days, you can expect to pay ONLY A LOW SERVICE APPOINTMENT FEE FOR EACH APPROVED CLAIM." To replace my hot water heater I paid the $100.00 appointment fee only to find out there was an additional $325.00 for the so called small print. However the sales reps. have no problem selling you on the appointment fee only. Buyer beware. THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM!!!!

I finally cancelled the ordered and scheduled a pick up for them to come and take their broken microwave. They came last night to pick up the microwave but were unable to take it because they said they are not licensed to remove the microwave from my wall, which by the way was installed by them.

Sears had me call my own electrician and said that they would pay for the covered repair. We called after the electrician started to try and figure the problem out. Once he did figure it out and we called Sears to have them pay for the repair they offered $249 of the $624 bill. The person in the claims department has the power to tell you what the repair should have been and then will only pay that amount. We were not only out the $69 monthly fee but the $375 for the covered repair. We cancelled the program immediately. DON'T SIGN UP FOR THIS SCAM!!!

Sears is awful. Run from them. I've had a full home warranty at $70 per month. The heat pump failed in April 2019. Sears sent a technician who replaced the condenser and other parts. The unit failed again in early November. A different company was sent for repairs. He stated the first technician did an improper install. He recommended Sears replace the HVAC. However, there were 3 parts that needed repair, like a heat coil. These parts are outdated. (1997 HVAC). Sears wants me to pay $1100. For these parts. Hey, if I'm getting a whole new HVAC, a new coil and thermostat are standard- they automatically come with it. So, why am I paying for an old thermostat when a new one comes standard with the new unit? Because it's Sears, and they are thieves.
I believe that is why they are going out of business. If I want to recoup the $1100, I must suit the first technician who did the improper install. He's a one man company, who probably doesn't have 2 pennies to his name. Come to find out I'm entitled to two free maintenance check ups per year. Those check ups could have prevented all of these problems. Don't trust Sears. Don't sign contract with Sears. Run! I can't wait for them to go out of business for good! They deserve it.

They assigned my work order to a local vendor to assess the problem. The first vendor they assigned never returned my calls to schedule an appointment. They assigned my work order to a second vendor who finally showed up after two no shows. Turns out the temperature gauge needed replacing. It took 2 weeks to have the part mail to the vendor. Once the vendor received the part and after 3 attempts to reach the vendor to install the parts, the vendor never showed up to install the part. They ended up reassigning my appointment to a Sears technician.
It's been about two months, I am having to throw food away because my appliance is not properly keeping my food and milk fresh. I called Sears to complain several time about my current situation, their response was they are not responsible for personal items being spoiled. They are only responsible for fixing the appliance. LOL!! I would not have this issue if the appliance was properly fixed.
All of this is happening while I am waiting on Sears to honor their appointment as stated in the contract. A technician finally shows up to reevaluate my refrigerator and reorders the part. Okay maybe now I will get my appliance fixed. Nope didn't happen. There were scheduling issues - no one was available to come over when I was available and they were scheduling a follow up appointment 10 days later. While I am trying to figure this out with the company, I am without a refrigerator.
During my ordeal with the company, when you call to speak with a manager, they forward you to the Philippines to speak with individual that is difficult to understand and when I asked to speak with a manager that speaks English, they tell you that you are not allowed to talk with a manager. They will handle the problem, needless to say the issue never got resolved with the call center in the Philippines.
Moving forward they finally rescheduled my appointment for November (the original problem was reported in late July or early August). The Sears technician never showed up. Lol!! I am frustrated at this point. Once again I call customer service and once again i am transferred to individuals in the Philippines who gives me absolutely no assistance to resolving this issue.
They continuously will say (first of all you have to ask them to repeat themselves over and over again because you cannot understand their English), "I will help you resolve your problem." They put me on hold three times and said they was talking to someone about my problem, each time I was routed back to the queue only to have my call answered by another non English customer service agent that offered on solution.
After days of calling they finally set another appointment for Nov 20, now months after the original call and I am waiting to see what's going to happen. I have talked to the customer service agent telling them how I have been without a refrigerator for over 3 months and they keep telling me there is nothing they can do. I have tried to get a number to the main office to complain and they will transfer you back to the Philippines to talk to someone who doesn't speak English and who offer no help. Do not do business with this company. I properly paid them monthly and this is the kind of service they provide.

Point of sale at the store we were promised a delivery day of Monday then received a call that Monday only to be told from a third party contractor that they don't do deliveries on Monday and wanted to reschedule for Tuesday. Tuesday was not a good day as we had other appointments that could not be cancelled so we rescheduled for Wednesday. This caused us to have 2 days off work paid leave.
When the installer arrived he asked my fiancé for 59.99 for the permit to install the gas range. When my fiancé told him it was paid and we paid 87.00 at the point of purchase in the store, the installer began to become argumentative and threaten to take the range back. Finally my fiancé said take it back then. After that the demeanor of the installer changed and he installed the gas range and no more talk of another permit fee.
The next day we took a ride to the Sears in White Marsh, MD and spoke to a sales associate and informed her of the inconvenience and the promise date made by the sales associate. She reviewed our account and went to some office in the store and came back and said they would give us $100.00 credit and that we should be happy cause some people don't even get that. Then we saw the same oven that we brought just 2 days before marked a lower price and they refused to give it to us for the lower price.

I am a single woman in my 70’s who had a boiler for heating installed and bought maintenance plan, because I live in rural area and could not find anyone else who could install one. 3 years later, I have had 2 yearly service calls to make sure all was well and this year boiler system did not work. When I turned it on, water started gushing from the pressure valve on top of boiler and water kept running from the condensation pump on the floor when I turned it off. I shut off the furnace and called Sears and was given a service date 3 weeks out.
I called back multiple times trying to get something done sooner. They did give me a voucher, so I could purchase some items from Sears online so I could keep warm until repairs. However a couple of space heaters would not help during 18 degree weather. Friends were worried about me being without heat with an upcoming cold spell, so a contractor friend, who does plumbing, came out to replace the pressure release valve. He hoped that would get my boiler up and running. When noticed the plastic pipe leading from the furnace was cracked and judging from the amount of calcium on the floor and boiler, it had been leaking soon after being installed, as the hot water from the boiler cracked the pipe. Metal pipe should have been used where the hot water leaves the furnace. That confirmed my suspicion that the serviceman.
With the pipe replaces along with the pressure valve, water still came from the condensation pump. He showed me where the water valve was located and turned of the water, so it would quit spilling onto the floor. I had been moping it up for a week, as the boiler is at the end of my kitchen. My friend didn’t know anything about boilers and had did all he could do, so I was left to keep warm using my fireplace and space heaters until my date of repair.
Finally when the repairman came from Sears, it was the same man. He said, “Why didn’t you tell me this was a repair call?” I told him that I did them when I called it in and they should have told him, not me as he had only called that morning to tell me what time he was coming! Then he asked, “Why didn’t you call a third party to fix it?” I told him that was why I had the service agreement and then he told me they should have told me that the protection plan would have paid the third party. How was I to know? He then kept asking why didn’t my plumber do this and that…he should have known. I finally was tired of his defensive nature and told him it was a plumber who helped me but a friend trying to help me out! He was frustrated, I could tell. He asked me to turn on the boiler and asked where to turn on the water. The valve was in plain site.
Of course he focused on the condensation pump as it water was pouring from it. He had one in the van and replaced it and convinced me that the water I saw on the floor was from the repair. Thinking he had the problem solved, he left. Water still came from that pump. After he was out of drive, I realized I had just paid for replacement of a working pump! The water pump that circulates the water was humming and when I touched it, it was HOT, so I turned off the furnace and called Sears back armed with the information that a third party could be used, as they wanted to give me a date in December (I first reported it in October). I told them that they needed to find that repair person. Now I have 3rd party coming in a week. Not sure if I will have heat for Thanksgiving.

The city inspector was finally able to come then to close out the permit. Instead he found several problems that actually explain why the system isn't as efficient as it's supposed to be. Told us to have Sears come fix it. That was over two months ago. The project manager refuses to talk to us, only the sales guy who sold the system to us will answer us. He finally got the management to deal with the project manager, who FINALLY sent our information to a different installation team from the one he'd originally promised would contact us.
The day the installation guy was supposed to be here came, and he never showed. Got ahold of him, he was out of state and forgot to reschedule. Three weeks later and we haven't been able to get ahold of him or the project manager. Finally got ahold of customer service, after being directed so many directions and hung up on a few times. Supposedly we are supposed to get a call from someone within the next 24 hours. First of all, these issues shouldn't even exist. Secondly, once the city inspector said Sears screwed up it should have been fixed right away. I will NEVER use Sears for anything again. They can go out of business, they treat customers horribly.

I purchased an a $600.00 exercise bike over a month ago! Received a delivery date; took the day off of work. Received a call 2 hours prior to delivery time. It's been delayed. Call to reschedule! Are you serious Sears!! It's been over a month! Nobody to talk to besides a bunch of foreigners in a call service! I am not rescheduling. I will be going directly to the store for a full refund and will never order from Sears again! There are zero excuses for this inconvenience and timeline on a delivery!

I placed an order last night and tried to cancel the order immediately after. I tried to do so online at first because you are suppose to be able to if the order is still processing but I was not. I then called customer service (extremely hard to understand) and they told me to call in the morning. I called in the morning and was told the order is preparing to ship and there is nothing they can do. The best I can do is when the package is delivered in a week to not accept it and have it sent back to them. Only then will I get a refund! So basically I tried to cancel an order right after placing it and because I was given the run around not even 12 hours after the order was placed and not shipped it is unable to be cancelled even though it is outlined in their cancellation policy that you are able to do so. Horrendous customer service. No wonder department stores are going out of business. It's all about customer service people!

This contract is not worth the paper it is written on. If I could rate ZERO stars I would. I purchased the contract after a Sears tech diagnosis the problems with our Kenmore Pro oven did not work. After paying $230 for the repair and purchasing the home warranty - the ice still did not work- I called for them to come out to fix it and they charged me $100 to come out and for the second time it still did not work. So I called again, they came out to repair the initial problem which was under the 90 day warranty for the repair and we were charged again $99 for Sears to fix the same problem.
On two occasions Sears misdiagnosed the problem and in the meantime it has cost me $430 and then I am still paying the warranty - so I called for them to come out to repair a valve in a bathroom- they sent out a plumber to whom I paid $100 for them to come out for 20 mins and then I was told that I had to pay an additional $130 because I have brand name fixtures - Kohler- and they don’t cover brand names... I have spent 3 hours trying to speak to someone at Sears and I have been in an infinite loop and no help at all - but yet under contract to pay them $69 a month for a worthless home warranty - Sears is the only winner here!!!

I placed an order online and paid expedited shipping fees to have the item on a certain day. The order was never delivered to UPS for shipment to me. When I called to question this, I was told there was nothing they could do and it would have to be delivered 5 days late. I told them it was time-sensitive for an event and I was able to give them one more day to overnight the package to me. They said it wasn't possible, even though the item is sitting in their warehouse to be picked up. It is shameful that they hook you in with a promise of a delivery date and then don't even come close to honoring it. I could have purchased the item elsewhere but they had the earliest delivery date. Now I'm in a bind and don't have what I need. I will not be shopping with Sears online again.

Purchased extended warranty. Still waiting 8 months later. I have an extended warranty on my free standing ice maker. The ice maker went out of March. After 4 service calls and 8 no show scheduled service calls, Sears agreed to replace the ice machine. That was in July. After numerous calls and promises, the ice machine was delivered today...the end of October. On Friday, October 18, Sears notified me the ice machine would be delivered on Monday and installation would occur at that time. I called back twice to verify that installation would be done at the same time. Well, the ice machine arrived today, but no installation. I have now been on hold for 1 hour being transferred from person to person to get installed. This is terrible service. I expect more.

Boy have the mighty fallen! Aside from a shortage of sales personnel, the ones left either avoid customers or give erroneous answers. Merchandise is greatly diminished. Sales signs were posted for certain items that weren't even available (not sold out, just non-existent). There were 2 employees in appliances shooting the breeze while I kept circling around trying to find vacuum parts for my Kenmore canister vac. No bags, no filters and they were selling vacuums that used these supplies. Why bother trying to sell vacuums when you can't keep bags available? I'll just hang on to my 10 year old vac and get a replacement elsewhere.

I could go on forever with tons of horrible details with how Sears has treated my family for about 2 months now but the main gist is this. Our refrigerator that we bought from Sears just a year ago broke and we lost tons of money due to food spoiling. Since I was under warranty, they sent a representative who ordered 3 parts to fix it, said it should arrive within a week. About 7 weeks later, 2/3 still haven't because they're back-ordered. It took over a month before Sears would authorize a replacement and I tried every week because y'know, having a fridge is pretty essential! To say we've been heavily inconvenienced or lost lots of money due to compromises necessary when you don't have a fridge is an understatement.
Sears could care less. In fact, even now when the replacement HAS been authorized, they still won't do it until I cancel the 2 parts back-ordered (which required speaking to 7 different departments to get done!) and return the 1 part that came in. Currently, I'm awaiting the mailing information and label necessary TO send it back and then I get to wait another week for them to receive it, all while still not having a fridge.
People, this is what I mean about Sears. They care more about getting their part back than they do their customer not having a fridge FOR TWO MONTHS due to their own incompetence and cruelness. Any other company would be happy to pick up the part at the same time when they drop off the replacement fridge OR you send them same-time. Sears won't lift a finger to help you no matter how reasonable the request. You explain this to them and they just say 'but our policy says, our policy says....' They'll also promise call-backs and emails you'll never get and send things to their back office team saying they'll notify you but they never will so you constantly need to stay on them to keep things moving. And that's assuming you don't wind up repeating the exact same steps from a week ago because they're not documenting everything in their system.
Getting ready to call sears again now, don't even want to know how many hours I've spent arguing with them on the phone for the last 2 months, and our family STILL doesn't have a fridge. This is what you get when you shop at Sears so AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Remember, they're going out of business for a reason. No matter how cheap it is, if you buy something important from them, know that if something goes wrong they will leave you out to dry in a heartbeat.

I ordered a washer online through Sears Hometown store on 9/03/19 for direct home delivery. Upon completion of my order I was sent an email of my receipt and in small print "allow 3-4 weeks for delivery" which was my first red flag. I thought that was quite a long time to wait especially since I don't live far from one of the Hometown store locations but I decided to be patient and wait the allotted time. Week 4 came and no washer, no email, no phone call nothing but a status change to "ready for pickup" when I check the status of my order online. I called customer service and was told a communication had been sent and I should be hearing something back in 24-48 hours. 48 hours later still no communication. I called again and again a communication was sent and I was told I should hear something back within 24-48 hours.
Another 72 hours go by, and it's now 5 weeks and counting since I placed my order, still no email, no phone call, no status change. I call again and am told they are moving it up to corporate and I should again hear something in 24-48 hours. Still no response after 48 hours. I call again ask for a supervisor only to be told no and then they proceed to call my local hometown store to see if it was delivered there. The hometown store showed no record of the purchase in their system and their manager was not in that day but they get another delivery on Monday so we could check back then. They also sent another communication. I went to the store on Tuesday to check if it had been delivered there in error.
The manager looked in his system and there was no record of my purchase in their system so he went to check his inventory and found the exact washer I had ordered with my first name and the first letter of my last name on it with no other information on it. He stated he could not release it or deliver it without it being in his system. So I called customer service again, it's now been 6 weeks since I ordered it, I explained everything to the same customer service rep I had communicated with several times. She first stated that it shouldn't be at the store it should be coming from the warehouse and I told her that it was at that store with my name (not a too common name) and my exact item number on it but he had no info in his system to confirm it was indeed the washer I purchased so he couldn't release it.
She spoke with him on speaker with me standing there on the phone with her at the same time and still they could not figure out where the issue was. Again I was told she would send an email to corporate and I'd hear back within 24-48 hours. The manager at the store stated his district manager would be in that afternoon and he would see if they knew what to do and I could come back or call to see what they found. So that afternoon I called the store and was told they could not figure out the issue and could not release it to me without a record of purchase in their system. What they said they could do is I could cancel the purchase, wait for my refund, and repurchase it in store for the full price not the sale price I had purchased it at and pay for the delivery which was supposed to be free.
Needless to say I sent an email to corporate myself, cancelled my order and bought the same exact washer elsewhere, with free delivery, for only $10 more than what I had purchased it through Sears. Now I just have to see how many weeks it's going to take before I get my money back from them because they had the money out of my bank account the the day I ordered. I will NEVER shop there again online or otherwise.

I had purchased a microwave from Sears back in September 2017 and it has broken in total 6 times. I had purchased the warranty, so they came and fixed it with no problem. However, during the last time it broke, I asked them to replace it. This was in the beginning of September 2019. They said it was no problem and they will replace it, but no instructions were given. A few weeks later after many calls, they finally told me that I had to go down to my local Sears to pick out the model I had. This was on September 22, already 2 weeks without a microwave. They advised that a technician would call to set up the delivery and installation. This was the worst thing ever. They advised it would be installed on October 7, already a month without a microwave, I said that was okay. No one ever came and when I called the number provided, it was always busy.

I received an email advertising a great deal, went on to the site and saw that I could pick up the product from my local store, which was great, seemingly. I decided to change to the quantity to two since it was such a great deal. Well a day or two later I get a notification that my order is ready for pick up, so I go in and immediately there is a problem. The kiosk couldn't find my order. A Sears employee came out and helped me in person. They found the order in their system but told me it was picked up already. I told them that was impossible but they said it was true and they even had all of the correct paperwork to do so. They were going to check their security cameras for the footage of the person who picked it up.
So after a few minutes of confusing conversation, they finally mentioned that the order was picked up the week before. Well that's just impossible because I just order these cabinets on Thursday?? Then I realized they were looking at the wrong order. I did order and already pick up an oven range hood the week before! So now we are over twenty minutes in and I'm giving the sears rep my order number again. They found the order, but this time told me that it was marked ready for pickup at their Palmdale, Ca location?!? Yeah just a quick 2-4 hour drive away!! And this took almost 45 minutes just to find out I was going to have to go home and cancel my order!! It was such a horrible experience! And my wife just about killed me for making her wait in the car the whole time in the sears pickup loading area in over 90 degree heat.
When I got home I begrudgingly cancelled my order. But just because I wanted to know how this happened, I went through the process of buying the Craftsman garage storage cabinet again. So it turns out it all went fine up until I changed the quantity. I went to the product page. Changed the store location to my local store, just like before, change the quantity from 1 to 2 and boom, it automatically change the location for pickup to Moreno Valley this time, which is at least only an 1-2 hour drive away.
Any other site I have been on with local pickup options, Home Depot, Lowe's, etc, when they change the quantity to an amount that the chosen store doesn't have it simply says "out of stock" at this location and then asks if they would like to "Check" other stores!! The way their website handles this process is not only frustrating but comes off less than honest. A Very bad User experience and this is our second strike for never shopping at sears again!!!
My wife then drove up to the Moreno store today to buy the cabinets in person and they would not price match the sale price we originally paid and told us to go to the Temecula location and have them order it. Which I already asked but they said they couldn't because the item was discontinued. We want(ed) to spend money at Sears but they are making it very hard to have any faith in their company

I spent 2 more hours on the phone trying to get Sears to release the unit to me but met the bureaucratic wall of store policy. Even though I really needed the unit, the best they could offer was to cancel my order and try again. Maybe in 2 more weeks, I might get the right unit.
Because I was in time crunch, I went back to pay the extra $80 and was shocked to find the actual price was $499 and I had to pay an extra $180.

One drawer on the rolling tool cabinet has a dent (looks like it was dented prior to being painted). I called Sears customer service and asked for a replacements to be shipped to my house. The foreign Sears customer service guy refused to do anything for me. He told me to drive three hours round trip to the out-state Hometown Sears (at a gasoline cost of $30) to return the products and reorder new ones. I also called the Hometown Sears and the Craftsman Warranty lines, but they said the same thing.

We purchased 2 laundry center units in August of 2018 and ended up with the same problem in both dryers. We have the 5 year extended warranty on both units. The dryers are gas and starting around the 23rd of August both dryers would not dry the towels all the way, as a matter of fact it took me an hour and 40 minutes to dry towels in one dryer and 1 hour and 15 minutes in the other to dry only 4 towels. I called Sears warranty department and told them what was going on and they sent James on the 30th. We had been told by a previous repairman they had sent when we first got the units to replace the venting tube and the outside cover as that was why we were getting so much lint which we did. James came over and thought that our tube was too long so he cut it, checked the venting outside and told us that there was nothing wrong with the dryer. Did some laundry and again my clothes would not dry all the way.
Called back and they sent Douglas. Douglas found the problem but since Sears did not put the work order under the warranty he could not do a thing unless I paid $235 which of course I would not do. Had to call Sears again and get them to write the work order the proper way so I could get my units fixed. They sent Albert but the work order was only for 1 unit instead of 2. He checked my unit and told me that there was nothing wrong with the unit. I told him I was not stupid that I knew there was something wrong with the units. He left and this time my husband called Sears and told them that there was something wrong because the dryers would not dry the clothes all the way which meant that I had to run another cycle to get them dry which was ridiculous. He told them that we wanted Douglas to come back as he figured out what to do with the dryers.
They sent Albert back but before he got here he called and told me that it was a waste for him to come as there was nothing wrong with my dryers. I said, "I don't care what you say. There is something wrong with the dryers and I want them fixed." He hung up on me. I then called Sears again and told the lady that answered the phone what had just happened and she said the ticket is still open and he will come by. He called again and said, "There is nothing wrong with your dryers" and I said, "I put towels in the dryer like the lady on the phone told me and you need to come over and see what is going." He came and the first thing out of his mouth was, "I told you that there is nothing wrong with your dryer." I said, "You need to check it." and he said, "I don't like your attitude." and walked out the other door without even looking at the dryer.
I called Sears again and told the person that answered what went on and told her that my dryers need to be checked because I am not stupid, I know there is something wrong with them. I also told her that I did not want James or Albert to come back that I wanted Douglas. Well, Douglas was here last week on September 10th and ordered 4 parts for one dryer as they only gave him a work order again for 1 dryer. He came back on the 18th, replaced the parts and told me to use the one dryer as much as I could and if it solved the problem that he will come back and do the same thing to the other dryer. Ran the dryer on both Wednesday and Thursday morning and everything was fine so I called Sears again and explained to the guy that answered the phone what I wanted done and also told him that I wanted Douglas to come back and take care of my problem because the other guys don't seem to know what they are doing.
Well, they sent James over today and yes, I got a bit upset so he did not like it but thank goodness my husband was here and he took over. Bryan explained and showed James the list of items that Douglas used to fix the dryer and James said that is not how you take care of the problem. First you need to get to the root of the problem before you order parts. He removed the panel and started testing things and said the dryer thermostat was faulty and needed to be replaced. Thankfully he had one on the truck and he replaced it. Before he left Bryan asked him why he did not go through this the first time he was here instead of putting his wife through what they put her through and he said he was more concerned with the venting tube than anything else. How stupid of an answer is that? I will be trying the dryer tomorrow and I hope the problem is solved.
I have had 7 service calls since August 30th, I think that their way of treating customer needs a lot of improvement, no wonder Sears is going out of business. Let me tell you I would never recommend these type of units or the warranty department. I was told by Douglas that these one unit combo, washer and dryer are meant for apartments and not for people like us. The salesman recommend these units but they are not worth the money we spent for them with the extended warranty (over $3,000 for both units). Never again would I buy one of those. It would not let me leave the rating blank so I put down a 1 but if I could it would have been a FAT 0.

Updated 09/19/2019: This is a follow up to my initial review. The total cost of labor and parts came to $409 which was ridiculous to replace a spark plug module and I was asked to pay in advance before the job was to be done. I canceled I had to pay for the diagnostic which came to $136.09 (taxes included). I just received a receipt from Sears Service in my email and was offered a 50% discount for the repair ( Diagnostic fee not included). This seems a very odd way to run a business to say the least. Incredible. Will not call Sears again.
Original review: Called for a repair to a gas range. The diagnostic fee was $125 which I agreed to. The tech did not have the spark plug module and would have to order it. The total cost of the repair he said was $409 to replace a part and I was asked to pay in advance before the work was to be done. I was asked to pay in order to order the part! Pay for the complete job before it was to be done! The labor was $300. Ridiculous. Why would a customer pay so much for a repair when the simple replacement part and work to just plug it in is the cost of a new stove. Ridiculous. Will never call Sears Repair Service. I canceled and will buy a new stove. I still had to pay $125 for the diagnosis of the problem. The tech spent more time texting on his computer than unscrewing the back part and testing the spark plug.

We have a Sears home protection on our GE Washer purchased in 2014. First technician came out in July to diagnose. Needed to order parts. 2nd technician came out and said needed more parts so he ordered them. 3rd technician came out and said he needed more parts so he ordered them. 4th technician came out and said he needed more parts so he ordered them. Today, September 17, was supposed to be the big day to finally get the washing machine fixed. The appointment was set up for 8 a.m. - 1 p.m. The 1800 line called me in the morning to verify if an adult would be home and I gave them my husband's phone number. No one called all day, and no one showed up.
My husband wasted a whole day of working waiting for Sears because we are tired of lugging everything to the laundromat and spending $4.50/load plus dryer. I called Sears and was told the technician had an emergency today and went home. I asked Sears why they would not have called their customers to inform of this but couldn't get any answer on that. The next appointment is September 25 so we will be at least 8 more days without a washer. I would never buy from Sears ago and will definitely not renew this repair agreement. Poor Sears... They are really, really horrible now.

I purchased a treadmill from Sears.com on 9/1/18. The earliest possible delivery time was 9/16. Made the purchase and was informed I would get a call on 9/15 to schedule the time for the delivery. Two weeks wait made me reconsider the purchase. Goes to show your first instincts are usually right. I chose to go ahead with the purchase. On 9/15 I get an email stating my deliver had been rescheduled till 9/16. This was the date I was expecting it. Went to the online chat to check the status. Oh yes, it is showing scheduled for delivery on 9/16. I explained the email I received and they could not understand it.
Shortly I receive a phone call on automated line stating I needed to call a number about my order. I did so only to find a person who did not care only to tell me my order would be coming next week 7 days later. When pressed about why Sears had my money for two weeks why was the delivery being delayed. He then begins to blame the manufacturer. Convenient to put the blame somewhere it could not be verified. Strange the delivery team called the night before the delivery and not the store calling to tell me of the delay. Or what could it really be the delivery team did not have any other deliveries coming this way and was holding my purchase until the following Monday so it would be more beneficial to them and financially better for them?? If you have been around retail at all you can figure this one out.
Ever tried to call to speak to a supervisor with Sears? Good Luck. They are in the witness protection program. I asked for a supervisor during the initial phone conversation and was told it would do not good, "They will tell you the same thing I am telling you." Called one of the customer service numbers the following day and was told I would receive the call in thirty minutes. Must be an extremely slow clock or a broken clock they are using. No wait, a broken clock is accurate twice a day. I am waiting for my phone call or the treadmill to arrive. Let's see which one happens first.
As you can see the purchase does not mean that much to me now. I will have to make a decision whether to keep it or cancel the order. There is a reason Sears is struggling and as I have found out from my first purchase at Sears, I totally found out why. My question now is if I keep the treadmill how can I possibly feel comfortable with service after the sale? I can only hope that the witness protection plan does not include the repair people.

No complaint phone number, unusual email only moments@customerservice.sears.com.

We needed a repair on our washing machine. The first service tech was brand new, here a few minutes and shortly after leaving the problem started again. Second scheduled call, someone was out sick. Rather than putting on the next day, we were put off for another week. Up to 3 weeks now waiting for a repair. Second tech was efficient, solved the problem same trip. He presented a home warranty suggestions that would cover "everything" in our home. Against my instinct, I signed up for it. Approximately 2 months later our central air stopped working. When we called for service, we were told 3 weeks for a service call, In the hottest weeks of the summer. Before I could cancel this horrible plan, we received a call from a collection agency. It appears that Sears had a problem with their processing of credit cards, and my initial repair bill never processed.
According to the collection agency, they had no other way to fix it but to contract with this agency. They said it was a non-reporting group. I refused to pay them, and instead set about calling Sears to handle the matter. Repeated phone calls, never once had a live person or a returned call. Finally got someone by selecting that I needed service. Only to be told I had an early termination fee. They had the nerve to drop my monthly charge in half if I kept the remainder of the year (WHICH I DID NOT DO) as I'm sure the contract would auto roll into another. Horrible, horrible way of doing business. I had always loved Sears for their appliances and services in years gone by, but I see now why they are struggling to stay afloat.

Sears service (Transform SR Brands LLC,) is by far the most horrific service company I have ever dealt with. As of today it is 51 days since my case was opened on 7/22/19 and my garden tractor is still not scheduled for repair. A tech was on site on July 22, 2019 to evaluate the problem. The frame cracked in several places along with damage to many other parts. Parts were ordered and most were delivered. I believe from the order they are still missing 6 parts with no sign of delivery. I have been scheduled 4 times since receiving parts for a tech to install them and have been cancelled 4 times the day of service. I am still waiting for a yet another mgr to call me and reschedule an appt. I ask "How does Sears service schedule appts without having a tech available?" I get the same BS every time I call, "Did you receive all the part?" OR, "We are scheduling a senior tech" OR "We don't have a tech available."
I ask, "Don't you know what parts were delivered and what parts may be missing." Initially Sears deemed the tractor as a loss and should be replaced however unlike the original protection plan bought at POS that would replace the garden tractor no matter the cost, whereas the renewal contract only pays only 1500.00 for a 3100.00 tractor. Mind you the renewal contract cost was the same as the POS Contract but only provides half the return value. (They hid that clause pretty good.) One mgr told me that the parts order was split and some parts weren't shipped and he didn't know why but he would fix the problem. Was it fixed? NOT. Still no notification from Sears or UPS that additional parts are being shipped.
In all my born days I have never witnessed a service company so unorganized with than Sears home services. Sears is on the hook until Aug. 2020. It would have been more cost effective to replace the 5 yr old garden tractor as there wouldn't have been any service calls for a new tractor. I've had to pay a gardener to cut my grass several times.

Sears has always been my favorite store to purchase my appliances. I love Kenmore Products and Sears has always given me great service. However, this time the issue is not with the products. The issue was my local store told me to come in with the measurements of the space for each appliance since I have cabinets surrounding my current appliances. This was to avoid issues with installation. However, when the products arrived they did not fit in the space in which I provided measurements for. I paid for installation and then was told it would cost an additional $300 for one appliance, I had to hire a plumber for the second appliance.
I was not prepared for additional installation charges which was the reason I came in with my measurements and was reassured by the manager that they could handle it. My issue is with the Manager of the Store. His response to my issues was "these things happen". Never did he say I am sorry you had a problem. What can I do to resolve or keep my business?

I have had a HORRIBLE experience with Sears technicians and customer service. To make a very long story short, parts were incorrectly ordered, and the techs missed 2 appts to come out and fix my washer (after the initial first diagnosis appt.). I took off 2 days of work for the repair, and could not afford to take off more. After the mishaps, I was told by customer service that a tech could come out at 5, so I didn't have to miss yet another day of work. Tech came at 415- he left a note on the door. I called customer service multiple times after this third incident. I was hung up on once, and another time I waited 48 minutes to talk to a supervisor WHO DID NOTHING but tell me they can schedule another appt.
I paid $113 for my initial visit, which was to be put towards the repair. Supervisor refused to give any refund, and said the best she could do was reschedule another appt. I am NEVER using them again, and highly recommend looking elsewhere for techs/reps who believe in good customer service. Absolutely disgusting company. I am telling anyone and everyone to stay away.

This is the email I wrote to Sears management which I got an automated response that they are not checking their emails. I'm writing you in a bit of desperation as my family has been without of air-conditioning for half of this summer. Our two year old Sears air conditioner (we have a warranty) stopped working in July. We promptly called Sears for a repair and a technician came out and said that our motor stopped working and we needed to replace it. Unfortunately in the next two weeks following this he didn't actually order the part and Sears was unable to locate it. In that time period, there were multiple days where either myself, a working mother of three, or my babysitter would wait for the technician to show up because Sears told us we had an appointment and he never did - that's an 8am-5pm window. Eventually we got in touch with the tech's manager and surprise - the part came in.
When he finally replaced it, the air conditioner stopped working again that same day. He came out the following morning to tell us the we needed two other new parts to be repaired on the unit. I was a little concerned as it's pretty new and it sounded like we had a lemon and the tech told me that we'd have to call his supervisor to discuss that as that was not in his job description. So I did and did the next day and the next, and so did my husband and never received a phone call back. After about a weeks passing without hearing anything from Sears (this was yesterday) I called and they said I had it scheduled for today from 8-5 for the parts to get replaced.
I'm on vacation with my three small children and canceled all of our plans because they "talked to the tech" and were certain he was going to be out even though he had not shown up several times prior. I confirmed again this morning and they said, "Mrs. ** the parts are in and he will be there today." Today at 4:20pm after waiting in my horrendously hot house house, the tech called my husband to tell him that the parts won't be in until September 9th. Obviously, we called the tech's manager who did not pick up and I'm certain will not call us back. Sears has been our trusted go to for so long and it is beyond disappointing that we are being treated this way. I beg for your help in this matter. Quinn is the tech and Doug is his manager and I think they really need help as they have treated us so unbelievably cruel. Maybe not fired, just help in how to treat other humans, effective communication etc.

This review is only regarding the warranty services, and does not reflect my opinion of their store chain or any other department. I would strongly recommend anyone considering signing up for home warranty services with Sears to avoid them at all costs. It took two and a half months, seven technicians, countless phone calls to their absolutely terrible customer service lines and finally a report to the Better Business Bureau to get my microwave replaced.
It was ultimately replaced only because after seven technicians and several parts deliveries, they were incapable of repairing it at all. After the seventh technician failed to repair my microwave, I reported to the BBB, and was finally offered a voucher for a replacement microwave. To top it off, when I went to the store to purchase the replacement, my voucher read 0.01$, and I had to call Sears one last time to get that error corrected before I could finally put in the replacement order. Stay far, far, far away from this company. They are the worst company I have ever dealt with, and the only company I have ever needed to report to the BBB to get what I paid for.

Tech finally showed up at 6.45pm. After all this wait turns out tech said my unit had a leak, which is a two man job and he needed to come back next day. Which would have been August 23rd, and that I would be hearing from Sears to confirm the next day appointment.
After about two hours I didn't hear from Sears, so I called to verify I would get service on the 23rd as tech advised. Sears confirmed they had notes in the system that my appointment was on 24th and not 23rd. I was explained why this was not ethical that the tech would have me waiting all day, losing a whole day's pay for a home service appointment. And all to find out their tech could not fix my ac. Furthermore, it's especially not ok for Sears to allow their techs to lie to consumers and waste their time with no respect to the lost and inconveniences in between. I requested speaking to supervisor whom assured me he could not do anything to change the appointment from 24th back to 23rd as this was all entered by tech himself.

Five more days passed no parts so I contacted Sears again now to be informed that the other parts I need were no longer available and wont be until November. So I waited 10 days for a package that would never come. Here's the best part Sears still took the money from my bank account basically paying for something I would never get. Had to go through more departments to get my money back. Thanks Sears for a horrible experience. Never again will I buy from Sears.

I noticed in my email confirmation that my order was being sent to an old address. I called right away. After three different departments and over 40 minutes on the phone I’m told that the delivery address cannot be changed. Again I went back and deleted the old address. It comes back. People answering phones are hard to understand clearly. Very bad experience as my order is going across the country to a stranger's house. Oh I was given the choice to drive for five hours to an actual store.

Updated on 08/26/2019: This is a followup for Sears Home Repair Services for a recalled Kenmore Refrigerator. This is week 3 and still no repair made. We had a second repairman come out after waiting 7 days after the first repair person ruined some of the components- The second repairman had no idea that this was a second call for the same problem. The second repairman said he would need to order the parts needed to replace the ones the first repair person broke. He promised he would personally be sure to have his manager set up a repair and get back to us with a date and should probably be Monday 8/26 or Tuesday 8/27. The repair parts did come but we have not heard from Sears as to when they will come out. I did search the Sears site and found a appointment for Sept 5 (10 days from now) for someone to come out and do a DIAGNOSTIC cHECK. I'm sure this means another repair person will show up and we can start all over.
Seriously, it's a refrigerator that is essential to daily healthy living. I'm sure they will continue to rip off consumers until the final nail is driven into the coffin and their doors are closed with all their upper management leaving with money stolen from unaware customers. We are shopping for a new refrigerator and will probably bite the bullet and admit we got taken for over $2500 by a company which we have been shopping at for almost 50 years. Do yourself a big favor and if shopping for a major appliance avoid Sears. We heard a lot of good things about Costco especially about getting things repaired so that will be our first choice when we head out of a new refrigerator. If by some miracle they actually get this lemon fixed I will post the results.
Original review: It took 7 days to come out for a 4 year old $2500 Kenmore refrigerator which had a recall because of a bad LG compressor. Seven days as far as I'm concerned is not an acceptable time for a repair for a refrigerator repair they sold me that is having a recall problem. We lost all of the freezer food and 95% of the food in the refrigerator. We are keeping necessary daily foods in a Coleman cooler costing us a trip to the store daily for a $4.00 bag of ice. The service person had a replacement compressor on the truck and said he would be able to fix it. He worked on it for 5 hours and said that he thinks either the solder he is using is wrong or he does not have enough gas for his torch to heat the solder properly but it should work. He left saying it will take 24 hours to get cold and said no charge for recalled compressor but charged me over $200 for labor.
I questioned why there is any charge on a recall repair replacement and he said it is a Sears policy. The next morning the refrigerator was still not working. I called Sears and nobody cared during the first call that I already waited a week for service and they were out the day before and the fridge is still not working and it will take another week for them to come out at which point the call got disconnected. I called back and the person said they have me in the system for a diagnostic service call in another week. I explained to her what happened and she did try to get someone out sooner but was unsuccessful. So right now I am waiting for them to come out next week.
I have called our normal repair serviceman to see if he was able to come out sooner explaining to him that I called Sears because it was a recall problem and repairs need to be made thru them to honor recall. He will try to come out before Sears does to see if he is able to undo whatever was done but there is a good chance that if the solder was done improperly and then running the system overnight the refrigerator may have been ruined and will not be able to be repaired. During the service call I was told that I can save half the cost of the service call if I sign up for a home warranty service, which I did. Once this nightmare is over I will call them to cancel whatever useless service I signed up for and refund any money I already paid them.
I am already looking at buying a new refrigerator because I'm pretty sure this one will not be repaired. I am sure Sears had done many correct repairs but searching the reviews I found hundreds of similar complaints. Like the stores their appliance repair division has gone downhill and it is only a matter of time before the Sears brand is only a memory from the past. I for one will never shop there again. I am being very generous giving them a One Star review and wishing anybody good luck with any service they perform for you.

Service tech showed up to diagnose broken ice maker for $105. Unplugged fridge. Waited 30 seconds. Plugged in fridge. Waited 3 minutes. Said I needed a new ice maker for $400. Said you can't get separate parts-you have to replace the whole unit. Left in less than 10 minutes. That's a rate of over $1000/hour. I went online. You CAN buy parts of the ice maker. So he lied. I went looking around the fridge. In less than 10 minutes I found two broken wires near where they feed into the bottom of freezer door. I looked online. It turns out my fridge failure was a COMMON failure.... Why does a $1000/hour guy not find a common problem. Never again. Don't throw your money away on Sears Home Services.

The majority of the reviews for this refrigerator, on both sears.com and other sites were pretty good. However, there are a few reports of problems with the freezer not cooling properly. Unfortunately and unknowingly, I received one of the bad ones. I paid for setup of the new product, it was delivered, installed and plugged in. The refrigerator immediately started cooling, but the flex zone and freezer did not. After 6-7 hours, the refrigerator was registering 37 degrees, while the freezer was reporting a temperature in the 70's (while being set at 0) and the flex zone was warm (there is no reading for it). I called Samsung, was bounced around a few departments and finally told to "reset" the unit, that it possibly might be in "demo" mode. If it didn't start cooling in the next few hours, call back and let them know.
After 3-4 more hours, it wasn't any cooler, so I called back, was bounced around to a few people, no one seeming to know what to do, and finally escalated to a manager, who told me to call Sears since it was delivered that day. Approximately 1.5 hours wasted with Samsung. At this point, things went from bad to worse. I spent the next 1.5 hours being bounced around inside Sears with no one seeming to know what to do. I'd be transferred no less than 6 times over that 1.5 hours, usually on hold 10-15 minutes before speaking to an agent who would transfer me again. Sometimes I would be transferred back to a department I was just transferred from.
My last transfer (to a live agent) of the evening was to another department, and by this time I was quite frustrated, I explained as calmly as I could what had happened, how I had been bounced around, and how I just wanted to get someone out to fix the new refrigerator or replace it as soon as possible. I was transferred again, this time to a voicemail box that said "We are now closed, please call back tomorrow" and the line went dead. I just gave up for the night because by this time I'd spent over 3 hours on the phone with Samsung and Sears that day. That evening, being beyond fed up, I started wiggling various cables I could find. At one point, after wiggling a cable, the display started blinking and refrigerator started beeping. After 5-10 seconds of this, it stopped, and over the next few hours, the freezer began to cool. This did not instill a lot of confidence in me in this product.
By the time I went to bed, the freezer was registering that the temperature has reached 0. The freezer felt cold, but I had read some reviews of this happening to other customers with the "freezer" issues. Some reported the freezer was reporting 0, but after putting frozen food into the freezer the food started thawing and eventually went bad. The next morning I called back, spoke to an agent, explained what had happened the day before and that I would like to replace the refrigerator because this one obviously was faulty. He was very understanding, said that would not be a problem because it had only been 24 hours since delivery. He said it would be another week before delivery, to which I asked this to be escalated and a "rush" put on it. He said he would note that and I should receive a call within 24 hours.
And due to the issues, I would be issued a 5% refund of the purchase price due to the issues I had had. That was nice. However, no refund yet... It's been a week, the delivery date is supposed to be tomorrow, and I've still not heard from anyone. I called Sears again, spoke to someone who really could not help me, so I asked to be transferred to a manager. The manager apologized, I voiced my frustration with the entire process and how poor communication has been. She promised to escalate to the delivery department to try to get an update. A little while later I received a call from the delivery department (because I could not be transferred for some reason). The person I spoke to had NO IDEA they were supposed to be delivering a new refrigerator! The only notes they had were they were picking up the new, not quite working right one, that had been delivered last week.
And of course, they could not see into the system so I had to call back support to resolve. I was on the phone, on hold, for almost 30 minutes…again trying to get this resolved and figure out when the replacement refrigerator is coming. After a total of 45 minutes on the phone, Sears insists it is being delivered tomorrow. I don't know who to believe. The next day I receive a call from the delivery company and guess what, they only have an order to pick up the faulty refrigerator. I ask them not to come and that I will call Sears to resolve. I spent the next few hours on the phone talking with Sears. Finally, someone says, "oh, I see there is a note that we can't replace the refrigerator, we can only pick it up the old one. We no longer ship that unit." What? I escalate, see that this item is still being sold online, the price has increased $700 from what I paid, and that you can only do store pickup, but I can get one in 2 days from my local Sears.
I ask them to figure out a way to get me a replacement. They come back and say there is no way to do that. I ask to escalate again and I'm flat out refused. I'm told they are the highest level of escalation in support. I looked up the CEO's number and email, called and sent email. I received an email back that said "We truly apologize for the inconvenience caused. This is definitely not what we want our members to experience. We have received your request for Order # **, we request you to contact Delivery team at 800-732-7747 so that they can assist you further." That's the same department I had been dealing with! Useless.
That evening and the next morning I receive more than 6 calls from an automated system saying my delivery has been rescheduled and to call Sears. I do, they are trying to pick up the old unit and not do anything about replacing the faulty one. They said they will refund me, and I can buy a new one for $700 more (the same refrigerator), and go pick it up at the store. I don't know if this is about money, system errors, poor management, but Sears does not stand by their products. It seems they change processes mid-purchase and don't tell you about them and you pay the price.
This is not customer service, it's nothing but hours and hours wasted and complete and utter frustration. I will not be purchasing from Sears again. In summary, AVOID ordering from sears.com at all costs if you can! But if you do, hope there isn't a problem with your product because no one seems to know what to do or how to replace the broken product. There is no concern for any inconveniences you might experience either.

No one contacted me, so I called back a week later and in one day was transferred and spoke with five different people. I finally reached the correct dept only to find out I would have to pay for the service because now the warranty is expired and they cannot come out for another week. So I'm stuck changing the batteries every two days if I want the AC unit to operate. I'm still researching how to reach and file a formal complaint with Sears.

I purchased a brand new complete central air unit on January 31, 2018. By July 27, 2019 I was already having problems. So I called the warranty department. They told me that I had not purchased a warranty with my unit so I had to submit proof that I had purchased the warranty. After I had submitted the proof they told me it would be two weeks before they can get a tech out to my house To service my unit.
Now keep in mind that late July and early August are the hottest months in Missouri and I have an 80-year-old mother, a two-year-old child, a four-year-old child, a 10-year-old child, a 12-year-old child, my wife and myself living in a 3700 square-foot home. I told them of this so they decided they would patch me through to the emergency department then the emergency department proceeded to tell me that I had not purchased a warranty for my unit and quickly rerouted my phone call back to where I started at the beginning. So at this point in time I had been on the phone for an hour and a half just trying to get someone to service my unit in a timely fashion.
So once again I was passed through four different times to four different people and then once again they decided it was an emergency and they were going to patch me through to the emergency department. This time the emergency department recognize that I did have a warranty so they proceeded to tell me they were going to have a conference call and decide if it was a true emergency. So after waiting 35 minutes the lady come back on the line and proceeded to tell me she could not get a hold of them and that I would get a call back within 24 hours. So needless to say 48 hours later I still had not received a call from them. So I decided to reach out to my own technician. Luckily he was certified to do their warranty work along with many other dealers. And guess what. He was there the very next day and proceeded to tell me that he deals with several major companies and Sears is by far the worst. Now why couldn’t Sears warranty department reach out to him being that his Business is less than 10 minutes from my house .
Normally I do not give bad reviews about any company being that I am a customer service expert myself but where I work if I was to perform my job like this I would not have a job. Bottom line save yourself some trouble. Do not do business with Sears for anything whether you are buying a refrigerator, gutters, windows, central air unit. It doesn’t matter. Their word is no good. They do not stand behind their products. They look for loopholes to jump through after the point of sale as far as I’m concerned so save yourself the headache and go elsewhere.

I purchased a Apple watch July 17th from Sears in hopes that I found a wonderful Deal with a trusted brand. Boy was I wrong. I never got a confirmation email. I requested one and customer service via Twitter said they would send it again. Never came. They did give me a tracking number however, The tracking number said my watch would be delivered 07/24/19. The tracking never moved though. It consistently said that the label had been created. The 24th came and went my watch did not come. Once more I contacted Customer service via Twitter. I did this because I had read that trying to reach customer service was a nightmare. They then told me to wait to see if it came that night. I got upset and asked how when it has not moved at all? They said they would look into it. Nothing came of it.
Again a day or so later I asked what was up. They told me they would contact the dealer that they get the watches from and for me to wait 24/72 hours to hear back. I waited and after not hearing from them again I asked again a day later. I was furious. No help came to me. They wanted me to just wait to see what would happen. They again said wait 24 hours and if it's not to me by 07/29/19 then they would try to do more. I finally gave up and opened a dispute via PayPal. Sure enough PayPal was able to refund my money! Sears is a big scam with customer service agents who just want you to "wait" after you spend hundreds of dollars and are waiting for days after the "scheduled delivery date". DO not order from this company!

Called Sears to fix my Samsung washing machine because the last spin cycle did not wring out my clothes properly. The time frame that was provided was 8am-noon. At 1pm I called to ask about the provider and he called me back to say there were 4 calls ahead of me. He showed up 5 hours after the scheduled time. When he arrived he looked in the online manual and decided my problem was I used too much soap. I said I was not comfortable with that diagnosis. He replied if it does not work, he would come back and not charge me another $99.
It did not work, and I chose another service provider who diagnosed it quickly ordered the necessary parts and it works fine now. When I called Sears customer service to request a refund on the diagnostic services, I was repeatedly denied with the statement "we do not refund Diagnostic services". My only recourse was to file a complaint about their serviceman. They took no responsibility on the quality of the service provided.

4 year old, $2000 refrigerator. It stopped cooling, blowing hot air. I had a technician come out, and he stated that it was "a little low on refrigerant".... So he adds refrigerant, tells me to give it 2 days and if it's still not cold, call them back. Wow. I knew immediately that it was not going to get cold because it was still blowing hot air. But, I assumed that was their protocol, so I went along with it. Two days later, I call customer service and they schedule him to come back out. He checks the refrigerator, declares that it's still not cooling, and states that he will have to replace the compressor, which is still under warranty. He orders the compressor, has it shipped to our house, and schedules a time to come back and install it. He comes back on the scheduled day, installs the compressor, and hallelujah it is now blowing cold air!
The next morning, I open the freezer and I have ice for the first time in a month - oh happy day! I come home from work and there is a puddle of water in front of my freezer. I open the door and the freezer is blowing warm air and the now full ice bucket is melting - hence the water all over the floor. I call sears back to let them know that it's still not fixed. The next available appointment is 10 days later, which i'm not happy about, but I take it. Appointment day rolls around and I make arrangements to be at home during my allotted time slot.....the technician never shows up. Ok, now I'm getting pissed. Sears is not open for me to call and complain, so I call the next day. They apologize and try to schedule me for another 10 days out....seriously?!?
I am angry, I yell at the girl (who I can barely understand with her broken english and crackling phone line). She does not budge, that is the soonest they can get out to my house, they have no record of the previous appointment, and that is all they can do for me. I get disconnected before an appointment is scheduled. I immediately call back, and a girl answers the phone who sounds exactly like the last girl, although she claims not to be. So, I have to tell my entire story again, and beg for help again. Guess what? I get disconnected again.... So now I'm SUPER pissed. Rather than call back, I get in a chat session with them, much better, but they still can't get me in sooner than 10 days out. I take the appointment, what choice to do I have? I can either give in, and buy a new refrigerator, or I can be at their mercy and pray that they fix it this time.
Oh, and to top things off, at the end of my chat session, the representative tells me that I qualify for a free in home estimate on siding, windows, guttering, etc. and asks me which product I would like to get my free estimate on. Seriously?? I informed him that I would NEVER buy from Sears again, because their products are inferior and their service is horrible, both which explain why the company is in bankruptcy.

Sears Citi Mastercard is awful. They give you a line of credit and when you use it, they will claim that you used too much of your credit line and lower your limit although you're making your payments on time. A month after I paid them off, they closed my account and didn't inform me about it. After three months of being fully paid, they didn't inform the credit bureaus that I had paid them off nor that they had closed the account. I only found out they had closed it when I called to see why they hadn't updated my acct with the bureau. My acct showed the high balance, that it was on time and the acct was open and current.
When I called them and told them this, they decided to say that I was late 9 times which isn't true. I'm going to ask for a credit report and I'm taking a picture of the report I got online to compare. It seems that Sears will change the report to justify their actions. Looks like I may have a lawsuit on my hands if they pull this fraudulent act. Please, be aware, these people are not honest in any way. Sears isn't the company it used to be. Neither is Citi Mastercard. My credit score dropped from 780 to 675 because of these crooks. If you do business with these people, please, careful.

I have the Sears Home Warranty. I have had to schedule 3 service calls for the same issue within 6 months - being charged the $100 CoPay each time. Our HVAC is still not fixed, but the bigger problem is with customer service. The hold times are at least 30 minutes to an hour to get a live person if you call. When you do get a live person they transfer you 2-3 more times or put you on hold and then another rep picks up and you have to start all over again. The hold music and messages come through loud and clear, but the connection to the people crackles so badly and goes in and out that you cannot understand most of what they are saying. What I could understand was still utter nonsense.
Each person gave me a different time window, a different excuse, etc. One rep said the tech was probably trying to call me and since I was on the phone with her he couldn't get through - apparently they don't have call waiting in whatever country the call center is located. Another rep refused to let me speak to a supervisor. I have never been so frustrated in my life! The chat function on the website is no better. It usually does not work. I tried it at least 20 times and only once was it functioning. Mostly, you hit the button and nothing happens. If you do get a rep, you get more terrible information... i.e. the rep will be there by 3:30 pm today and the time is currently 4:30 pm.
The billing is also a joke. I paid for the visit in February when the tech was out here by credit card. Received an invoice for that visit in April - nothing before that. Called the number on the invoice to explain I already paid and could not reach anybody for a week. At least I was unable to hold longer than an hour to reach anybody. I tried multiple times on multiple day and then finally just sent them a letter and proof of payment. Received another invoice the next month. Same process. Received another invoice this month and finally was able to reach somebody told me they had received the initial documentation but it takes them 90 days or so to update the file and that I should not receive any more invoices - we'll see what happens next month. I will certainly be looking for a home warranty from another company and would NEVER recommend Sears for anything at this point.

Their service person came to diagnose the problem. Made a return appointment to install a new door. On the day of the appointment which was scheduled from 8 to 5. Never showed or called. I was then told I was not on the service list. They then set up another appointment from 8 to 5. I started calling around 11:30. I was texting them. No information available for 3 hours. Explaining that I had an important errand to run and need a time table so that I could be here for the call. After 4 hours I was told that they were not coming since I was not on the list again. No one should use their no service. We took two days off from work losing pay. I called the presidents office. No one has had the courtesy to respond. I have documentation on the above. They then cancelled doing the repair.

We purchased a Kenmore refrigerator from Sears with Master protection plan warranty only to have it break down 2 years later. For a week their system was down and we were unable to reach a representative or even schedule an appointment with a technician. Finally after a week, we were able to reach someone and they gave us an appointment for a diagnostic evaluation 2 weeks later. They rescheduled us a total of 3 times. Finally after the diagnostic appointment, it took them a week to have the replacement parts delivered to us. Then they told us to call again and schedule a new appointment to have the parts installed, which is going to take another 10 days. Not to mention that to get to the representatives over the phone and even a supervisor takes an hour on hold. All our requests to get an appointment sooner were in vain.
Whatever you do don't buy their products and warranty because apparently they give priority to customers without warranty. They had given us a sooner appointment initially but then when they found out that we had warranty, they rescheduled it for a later date. This is COMPLETELY unacceptable given that it is the middle of July, we have no working refrigerator for a month and an infant and have nowhere to store the milk. This is the worst customer service experience we have ever had and it is surprising that such a big company can get away with this.

I will never buy from Sears again I’m a senior that purchased 2 recliner chairs. When I bought them online thinking they were electric however the only thing electric is the heat and vibrator. I can not raise my legs or put them down. Called to return them and have not been able to speak to anyone that can help me. Each time I call my wait is one hr or longer. Yes one hr! Think twice before you order from them because if it needs to be returned they just jerk you around.

Bought dining table from Sears online which is sold by 3rd party seller. Before I make a purchase spoke with representative regarding shipping details. I was told this if you don't satisfy with the item, it is eligible for free returns. After I received item I don't like the quality for what I have paid which around 600 bucks. I wanted to return. After I made so many chats and so many customer service calls, finally they said, "Sorry for the wrong information provided, this time you need pay for shipping charge," which is most costly than purchase cost. :(

I purchased a bottom freezer refrigerator in May, 2017 with Sears. I have had to call for service 8 times since then due to the refrigerator and/or freezer breaking down. Sears customer service has been extremely unprofessional on many occasions. Many times I’ve been on hold for 45 minutes or more while having to hear hold music only to be disconnected after the long wait. The most recent 2 times that I’ve had to have the refrigerator serviced, losing all my groceries each of the 8 times, I’ve placed a food loss claim of which I only received two times. (I purchased 3 years insurance at time of purchase.)
I’ve taken them to small claims court over a year ago and won but have not received my award. According to a supervisor at Sears, my most recent claim was denied because “there was no mechanical failure”. I called for repair because the ice maker stopped working and the freezer door would not close. I lost all my frozen products. I expressed my dissatisfaction with their response to my claim. The supervisor told me there was nothing she could do and hung up on me. I am left with no other choice but to go to my local small claims court to file a new claim.

We were almost forced to purchase the whole house home warranty contract when a technician came out to provide service on our extended warranty for the washing machine. He talked non-stop and to get rid of him we went ahead and signed up. He assured us we could cancel anytime and we confirmed this on the telephone with Sears' agent. What they didn't tell us is there would be a substantial penalty for early cancellation. In our case it is $209.27. There are 5 payments left on the contract in the amount of $$69.99 each for a grand total of $349.95. Let's see, should we go ahead and pay out the 5 payments and hope if anything breaks they will take care of it or just cut our losses and pay the early cancellation penalty. What to do.
Our reason for canceling is due to a repair call on our water heater. Sears sent out a technician who determined the water heater could not be repaired and estimated $2,700.00 plus to replace the water heater. Sears refused to pay that amount so the technician went on his way. We then received a call from "Mr. Handyman" (are you serious) and we told them we wanted to discuss the matter with Sears. Unable to do without hot water while Sears decide what to do we decided we would simply hire our own plumber to replace the water heater. We had been told we could hire our own repair company and be reimbursed by Sears for the amount Sears was willing to pay. Today we spent about 45 minutes on the phone trying to get this done. The "customer service" representative said she would put me on hold and find out for me.
After approximately 10 minutes on hold the line disconnected with a loud busy signal Although she has our phone number she never bothered to call back. When I tried to reach her again all I could get were recorded menu options, none of which applied. I could not get past those options. I spent a total of almost an hour of my life on the phone either speaking or on hold with them with no results. Just time out of my day I can't get back. This experience is typical of what we have come to expect from Sear's. Run around after run around. Can't get it done!

Scheduled Sears to do a maintenance service on the working Kenmore washer and dryer. We responded to their ad for a $200 fee discounted to $150 for this service. When the tech arrived he changed the order to be service on both machines, in order to save us money?? The tech "sold" us on an additional home warranty program at $50/mo. With the $50 warranty included the $150 visit ended up costing us $180.
Both units stopped working 2 days later. We finally got through to a customer service person this morning and they have scheduled a service call for Tuesday. I explained that the paperwork I received from the tech included them coming back within 90 days to fix their mistakes at no charge. Now they want to charge a $99 diagnostic fee on each unit that they serviced that stopped working. Their 800 helplines are very poor to get these things resolved. Just to have working units that were maintenance serviced will end up costing us a lot of money. I'm with everyone else that Sears used to be a good place to purchase most everything you needed but if I have to buy any appliances in the future it won't be a Sears products. I know that Sears is going through Bankruptcy proceedings but maybe it is time for Sears to RIP.
