    We purchased a top loading washer from Sears and the washer began making noise in the spin cycle. I removed the washer's agitator and noticed that the porcelain basket was rusted out and had holes in it making the machine out of balance. I called Sears and was on hold for over an hour and finally talked with a Customer service Rep. After a long wait, he said that the unit was not under warranty but he would schedule a service call. I informed him that the warranty book stated that the porcelain basket has a lifetime warranty.

    He put me on hold again and switched me to a manager who scheduled a service call. The day of the service, no one called or showed up. Two days later I received a call from Gene a Service Rep stating that the computer was down and I would need to reschedule another service date. I explained to him the issue and texted him pictures of the rusted out basket and service tag and asked him to order the part and please have the part with him at the time of the next service date. He said that he would.

    A service date was schedule for July 9th and again no one showed up and no call. I tried to called Service again on July 12th but only their chat line was working. A Monica stated that there was a mix-up and that the service Rep would have the part on the truck and would fix the washer and there would be no charge.

    On July 13, 2019 a service Rep Gene ** came over and viewed the machine. I already had the agitator removed and he confirmed that the basket was rusted out and needed to be replaced. He then removed the front cover on the machine to check if any other parts were needed and put it back together. I told him that I was told that the part would be on the truck and I also talked with a Gene weeks ago and he told me that he would order the part. He said his name was Gene but he stated that he never talked with me or received any texts. I showed him the texts and the phone number. He confirmed that his name was Gene and that was his cell phone number but still denied that he knew anything about this or talked or texted me. He lied straight to my face.

    He then wanted me to sign a $226.00 service order and pay for it with a credit card. I told him that the service rep told me that the basket was under warranty and the cost to repair was $99. He became perturbed and called his manager and they brought the cost down to a $126. I told him that I was told it was going to be $99, but I would agree to the $126 after they ordered the part and he did the install. He said that I would have to pay up front. I asked him is the part in stock and when could the washer be fixed. He said he did not know. So he wanted me to pay $126 for a part that he did not know that was in stock or guarantee that he would come back with the part to repair it.

    I told him fix the washer and I would pay the $126. He got very mad and said I was declining service. I told him that I am not declining service and due to all of these mix-ups I have very little confidence in Sears service and I would pay at the time it was repaired. He called his manager again and informed me that “we were done” and wanted me to sign and pay for a $99 service call. I refused to pay for the service call and he left the house.

    A few minutes later I received an email from Sears with a service bill for $99 with a statement saying that I refused service and refused to pay for the service call. This was untrue. They would not do the service unless they were paid upfront with no guarantees that they would come back and fix the washer. After he left I tried to operate the wash machine again and the spin cycle would not work. Luckily, I watched him as he took apart the washer cover.

    I did the same and the electrical connector for the spin cycle was disconnected. I reconnected it and machine functioned. He purposely and knowingly tampered with the machine to make it non-functional in hopes that I would call him back for another service call. Bait and switch, Sears service is terrible, they are liars and cheats and should be investigated for fraud. It is apparent by reading all other people’s complaints that I am not the only one having issues with Sears. What happened to the Company that our Grandfather and Father trusted??

    Our fridge stopped working. Called warranty people. Set up appt. for a week later, tech came out and said it was the compressor. He ordered a new one and said it would not be in for 2 and a half weeks. The compressor came in on June 27 then they set us up an appt. for July 5th. In the meantime the fridge had started to cool and the freezer had started working, so when the tech got here he said that it wasn't the compressor it was the motherboard. He ordered a motherboard. Now this is after I had waited all day long. The second Friday the repair guy got to my house at 4:00 p.m. he walked out at 4:10. He did not even touch the fridge.

    So we get the motherboard, set up another appt for the next Friday. I get a message from the tech he is on the way to my house, 2 minutes later I get a message that my appt. has been rescheduled for the next Friday. I get on the phone and call the warranty company. I am on the phone waiting to talk to a person for 45 minutes, I am then told the tech had an emergency. I ask what they consider an emergency, since I had been without my fridge for over a month now. I was told oh something like someone not having their fridge or stove and having a baby. OK I can understand that. I ask them to please have me on the following Friday in the morning. I had waited the past three Fridays all day and I did not and was not going to wait another Friday all day on a tech. I was told they would put me down for an appt between 10 and 12.

    The next Friday rolls around which was just this past Friday July 12, 2019. When the tech was not at my home by noon I called the warranty people once again waiting 30 mins. getting someone on the phone telling them what was going on then I was disconnected. I called back, waited 45 min, got someone, explained what happened. She told me she would message the tech and tell him as soon as he finished up what he was doing to head to my place.

    Making a long story short when the tech got here he was the first tech that had came to the house so I ask him had they sent him any messages which he replied no. He was also the one that was suppose to come that had messaged me he was on his way the week before when I received a message they had rescheduled my appt., he showed the message he had received that day stating we had rescheduled saying if he could not be here by 1PM because we had a Dr appt. which we never said.

    Now we have the new parts in the fridge, guess what it still is not working. After all this waiting and yesterday having a compressor and a new motherboard installed the fridge still does not work. The fridge part is barely cool and the freezer does not freeze at all. The fridge is not even 2 years old yet. I called today. Was on the phone for an hour and half. I spoke with a supervisor. They gave me a repair appt. fourteen days from now July 23, 2019. I told her I have been nice and kind but that is wearing off.

    Sears Home Services was sent by Total Protect to repair my air. After the technician left, the air was not in working condition. Sears and the technician were contacted and asked if the technician can come back. The technician refused and said his company needs to tell him to come back, despite it being 30 minutes after his so called job completion. The technician refused to give me his name. I also did not get a receipt for my deductible. Sears stated that despite the work being completed incorrectly, they are not coming out if not asked by a Total Protect. They don’t work on evenings and weekends despite their work being insufficient. Total Protect apparently called them to come back out, but according to them I would have to wait 2 weeks. This is unacceptable.

    I have had Sears Home Warranty since 2018 and when I need service in June 2019 on my air conditioner and pool filter it has been a nightmare. Air conditioner guy came. Spent a few minutes and says he to go another appointment and will be back in an hour. Time was 10.00 am when he left. And he did turn up again until 3.00 pm. Then he started to work with cables. He said it was all fixed and running, but after 3 hours of the system running no cool air was coming through. A wasted $100.

    Next day I got a professional from another A/C company. He found that the Sears guy had modified the wiring and it cost me $242.00 to have my system up and running. Of course Sears ignored my complaint for reimbursement. NEVER use Sears Home Warranty. Same happened with my pool filter. Another $100 wasted. They replaced the filter with a used and rusted tank. The tank was an old one from another job I guess and all resprayed on the outside and no manufacturer's name visible. Another nasty and shabby Sears service.

    Customer service is absolutely terrible. Waited 3 weeks for appointment and tech never showed and never called! Tech rescheduled my appointment without any communication with me 3 weeks out! Called customer service and no help. No accountability toward techs action and no apologies. Rerouting to different departments which continued to be the wrong department numerous times. Fridge is only 2.5 years old! Having kids at home with no fridge extremely tough and continued to wait due to warranty.

    I purchased a home warranty as I had called Sears for an appliance repair. The technician recommended the service and I went over the sales collateral he had with him and after asking a lot of questions, I signed up. This was in February in Michigan. In late May I turned on the central air conditioning (covered in my plan - I purchased the house in late December) and it did not work. I called the warranty number for Sears at the time - long and boring story short - it's now 12 July 19 and they have declined the repair and closed the claim out. There was no way to test the AC when home was inspected in November. The customer service was poor, they don't call back or respond without prompting and they ultimately aren't honoring the contract. Don't purchase this as I did thinking Sears would be the company who would take care of you - it's a 3rd party they farmed this out to.

    I will never, EVER shop at Sears again. This company used to be people that I trusted. All my clothes came from Sears when I was a child. My mom used to work at Sears when I was a teenager. When I married, we got our furniture and all of our appliances at Sears. But no more. This place has become a giant scam machine. They lie, cheat, and steal from their customers and they don't care at all. For the past 12 years, I have tried to hang on and keep sending them my business, even though the hideous erosion of their quality and customer service has been obvious. Their Master Protection Plans and warranty service have been a joke for years. But my latest experience with Sears has been the VERY LAST STRAW. Never, ever again.

    About 12 weeks ago, I purchased a trash compactor from Sears. The sales person assured me that all Sears trash compactors were the same size and that the new one would fit into the same space as the old one. I paid for installation service - not just delivery. When they delivered the unit, the so-called "installers" simply plugged it in, crammed the new compactor into a space that was too small, and left. They damaged my cabinets, failed to level it, and didn't secure it with hardware. Within a month, I noticed that it was sitting crooked and has worked its way forward out of the cabinet space. I was having trouble unlatching it to remove old trash. I was having trouble getting it latched again when the new bag was installed. Sometimes the motor wouldn't engage when I turned it on.

    FINALLY, the compressor plate simply FELL OUT OF THE MACHINE!!!! So I called the Sears Warranty Department and arranged for someone to come out and repair my compactor. I arranged to be home when he came. On the day of the repair, someone showed up on my doorstep and proceeded to inspect the trash compactor. I pointed out the damage to my cabinets and showed him the part that had fallen out. He took some photos, and then, HE ATTACHED THE COMPRESSOR PLATE TO THE BACK OF THE COMPACTOR AND CLAIMED IT WAS "FIXED". Just to be clear, the compressor plate is an INTERNAL part. It doesn't belong attached to the exterior of the compactor. It is a working part and without it, the compactor will not operate. This man simply attached it to the outside of the compactor and said he had fixed it.

    When I told him that it didn't belong on the outside of the compactor, he gave me a blank look. Then I asked him if he knew what the part was and he admitted that he didn't know what a compactor plate was. I doubt that he had ever even seen a trash compactor, let alone be qualified to fix one. Once I showed him where the compression plate went inside the machine, he realized that the interior of the trash compactor was warped and bent out of shape. He said it looked like it had been dropped in the warehouse and that it was not repairable. He said he was going to "escalate" the situation and that someone from Sears would call me about a replacement. It has now been 8 days and no one has called.

    I have tried to call Sears about this, but I don't get any response. Every number I call says that I have the wrong department. When they try to transfer me, I get cut off. I've tried to call the warranty department, but they say I need to call Escalations Customer Solutions. When I called Escalations Customer Solutions, I waited on hold for a full hour and then my line clicked and I was cut off. I tried to call the manager of the store where I purchased the machine but that was an answering machine where calls are not returned. I tried to call Sedgwick Delivery Damage (who handles these cases for Sears. They took my information and said they would call back. They never did.

    I have tried everything I know, but it seems like there is no response from Sears at all. They apparently have NO INTENTION OF EITHER REPAIRING, REPLACING, OR REFUNDING this lemon of an appliance. This isn't the first time I've had trouble with Sears Warranty Department, but this will be the last. I am trashing this compactor and having Home Depot install a cabinet in its place. I'm super sick of dealing with Sears and it is worth the loss of the $1000.00 I spent on this piece of garbage. Sears is crooked. My only recourse would be to sue them and that would cost more than I lost. That is what they are counting on. No wonder they are struggling to stay in business. All I can do is warn others to avoid them at all costs.

    I did not buy my refrigerator from Sears, but did buy the warranty service from Sears. Noticed the fridge stopped working around the first week of June 2019. Earliest appointment was 6/20/19. Technician ordered a lot of parts and said would be back on 7/9/19. Did not see him, did not receive a call. When I called them, was told to reschedule. New appointment date is 8/6/19. I complained that I have been without my refrigerator for pretty much June and July, I didn't cancel, their guy didn't come, could I get an earlier appointment. The rep then referred my appoint to a local company and I had no say so at all.

    I checked that company and they have terrible reviews. Called Sears back to have them come out even though I have to wait longer, the rep tried to reschedule but couldn't because Sears already sent this to the local person and they are not allowed to take it back. When I complained, Adrian hung up on me! Sears Home Warranty customer service does not care if they are providing good customer service or not. I could go all summer without my fridge working properly! Will never do business with Sears again.

    A month and a half later Sears sent a contractor to finish the job. And I must say that this contractor did a very good job. Since I am still waiting on resolution to my rebate issue (floor installed on top of existing tile instead of tile removal as paid for) I cannot totally resolve this issue. And overall, a customer should not have to go through all this headache when getting home improvement work done from a major business.

    Sears installers arrived on the 16th of June to install kitchen floor. Took all day even though they seemed to be rushed they did not complete the job. When I pointed out that they did not install quarter round at base of cabinets was told that they did not have enough and would have to return. Still waiting for them to return. Also threshold to the laundry room is outside the door and most of the molding they installed has a gap (1\16 inch) from wall. Also a spot where they installed floor up to the old molding and there is even a gap there. And under the cabinet the floor does not go all the way to the base of the cabinet. Discovered a spot where there is a 1 1/2 inch gap. Really unacceptable and I don't think I want them to come back.

    My mother needed her oven fixed. The Sears/Kenmore technician who did the inspection found a loose wire and reconnected it. Knowing that this would not warrant a substantial repair bill, he took it on himself to replace three small wire connectors that didn't need replacement, then charged my mother a whopping $135 "minor wire repair fee". He additionally charged her an $89 "diagnostic fee", which the company originally had said would be applied to the cost of the repair, not added to it. Total rip off. We will never again contract Sears Home Services and will strongly advise others against it.

    Sears warranty services for appliances that are covered under their premier warranty program is substandard. Years ago, I considered Sears the gold standard for families needing quality appliances and available service support services. This is no longer the case. Spending 40 to 60 minutes plus on hold to scheduled service is unreasonable. Add to that they ship replacement parts cross country adds another layer of delay. Techs tell you to call when the part comes in only to learn there is no one available to install the part. Tech ignored call back request when repair failed instructing the consumer to start over and schedule a new appointment. Keep in mind that you are still without a working appliance. I would NOT consider any future appliance purchase under any conditions. Sears is failing their consumers on so many levels.

    You will pay the diagnostic fee regardless of if you decide to have the repair performed or not. Sears states when making an appointment that the diagnostic fee will go toward the cost of the repair if you elect to have it performed. Actually, they charge the fee on TOP of the total repair. I don't think this is ethical and is actually fraud.

    I have a complaint about Sears home warranty company that cannot be overlooked. I had my water heater to started leaking in my garage on June 7, 2019. I was given a service date of June 13th for a technician to come out to my house. Almost a week to wait for an emergency situation. I could never speak to a supervisor until the day I mentioned the Better Business Bureau. The first call was made to the home warranty company on Friday June 7th. According to a case manager that I spoke to on June 13, my order was never put in until Monday June 10th. This shows a delay and neglect on the company. On Monday June 10th I was told that there were only 2 companies that handled the water heaters and I was given a service date of June 13th.

    On Tuesday June 11th the water heater had flooded my garage. I called back to the home warranty and explained the situation about the flooding and I did not have hot water to bathe my children. I also told them that I have a torn rotator cuff with a 2lb weight restriction to lift, therefore I could not carry the water if I boiled it!! I explained that I had a torn Achilles tendon to my left foot with limited locomotion. I also explained another reason why I was upset. I told them that I had an upright freezer in my garage and that is where my food was and that I was home alone until my kids got home. I explained my limited ability to get food from my bottom drawer freezer at home due to my disabilities.

    I was then told that I was going to be put on a medical emergency list and someone would contact me within 48 hours??? 48 hours for a medical emergency?? It’s a good thing these people don’t work for those in need of true medical emergencies. I spoke with a case manager that same day and she told me that I was given the wrong information and the wait was not 48 hours and that someone would contact me sooner than 48 hours. On Wednesday June 12th I received a call from Mundin Plumbing stating that they were contacted by my home warranty company, they asked when was a good time to come out and asked about what was going on. They agreed to come out that day, I am still talking about Wednesday June 12th.

    Mundin Plumbing called me back less than 5 minutes stating that they would come sooner because the problem that I explained seemed urgent. Take note that Mundin noticed urgency, but the warranty company did not. When Mundin Plumbing came out, they asked how long the problem had been going on and I told them since last Friday, and that’s when Mundin Plumbing said that they were not contacted until that morning. Again neglect on the home warranty. When Mundin plumbing left they told me that they were going to contact the home warranty company to have to heater replaced.

    After Mundin Plumbing left, a family member came over to check on me and to get me something out of the freezer to cook, and that’s when she noticed the water heater spraying water all over the walls and from all parts of the water heater. Luckily my brother was sitting in his car using my wi-fi and he was able to turn the heater off, however the heater continued to leak water until a service company came out on Saturday June 15th. This service company used my garden hose to place on the tank to drain the water outside my garage for MY SAFETY!!! He noticed the large cam boot on my left leg that causes limited ability to walk and the imbalances the boot would cause.

    Let’s get back on target with the dates, On Thursday June 13th, I called to Mundin Plumbing because I got an email from them stating that my service was placed on hold. Mundin told me that they would call me back after investigating. Mundin called back within 10 minutes and I was told the home warranty company had not ordered the water heater YET!!! Oh yeah that’s what medical emergencies are!!! Take their own sweet time! Now I’m in panic mode. WATER HEATER WAS TURNED OFF. NO HOT WATER. WATER STILL FLOODING THE GARAGE. KIDS CAN’T TAKE A BATH. CLOTHES NEED TO BE washed, and the home warranty company is sitting cubicles talking smart to me losing phone calls and not calling back and no supervisor can be contacted and the home warranty company not following through what they promised, and the staff collecting paychecks!!!!

    So I called back to Mundin plumbing and asked them if they had water heaters like mine and if they would install one for me because I had waited long enough on this home warranty company. Mundin called me back and stated that he called the home warranty company and they got them to expedite and if I could call the home warranty to put a little fire under them to get the order processed faster. I did this for my kids because after all they reminded me that morning prior to school that this was the same company that sent someone out in December to fix the stove and the microwave stove and no one. “NEVER CAME TO FIX THOSE AS PROMISED SO THEY ARE MORE THAN LIKELY NOT GOING TO FIX THE WATER HEATER MOM!!!!”

    May as well let the kids run the warranty company and get better service. So Mundin plumbing told me that I would have to pay 725.00 in non-covered charges but the tank could get in faster if the home warranty company gets on with their job. On Thursday June 13th in the afternoon, I called back to the home warranty and demanded to speak to someone in case manager. I told her that Mundin Plumbing told me that the home warranty company was holding the process up, I demanded answers.

    The case manager said that the non-covered charges were nothing to do with them but to Mundin Plumbing, for a gas line, water line and tank line. I will give the home warranty company credit for this case manager. Finally, someone who seemed to care, finally someone who listened, and finally someone who gave me her name and extension if I needed to contact the company if I ever had any other problems. But you better know when I called her back the reps said that they could not contact her, even though I had her extension, finally one of the reps sent me to her voicemail but I didn’t hear from her again. That is the only credit I can give this home warranty.

    On Friday June 14th I called to company that manufactures the water heater. I asked if it was mandatory to have the gas line, water line and tank line replaced in order to have a water heater replaced. I was told that it was okay to replace a $25 gas line if I wanted but it was definitely not required or mandatory. I called Mundin Plumbing again asking if they were able to get my water heater put in, and I was told NO because the home warranty was taking their time with the PO. I asked Mundin if I could just get the heater installed without the accommodations and I was told no, because it was company policy and mandatory to replace these items. I explained that I had called to the company that manufactures these water tanks and I was told that it was not necessary. Mundin told me that sorry they could not install the water heater unless it was done.

    After speaking with Mundin to dispute the charges I called to the home warranty again. I spoke to several reps and this was the day that I could not talk back to the case manager that I had spoken to on Thursday. Finally, I spoke to a case manager, rude and nasty and she was the rude one that offered the check to pay in trade of having Mundin replace to heater. I asked her what was I supposed to do if I didn’t have the money to cover the non-covered charges, and she suggested that if the charges were not paid then the water heater would not be replaced. I told her that I called to manufacturer that makes the heater and she said that Mundin was licensed and that was enough. I asked for second company, I was told no. I took the check. I spoke with someone after the complaint was filed, another rude and nasty whatever she was.

    I asked to drop the home warranty company and I was told that I would have to pay the amount of the check back to the home warranty company and unless I do, and I was stuck in a contract. I was told that I was a day short to cancel the home warranty and I was promised that someone would call me back to speak to me about cancelling, but as this home warranty continue to show neglect to customers, I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE PHONE CALL THAT I DON’T EXPECT TO HAPPEN. This warranty company has failed me too many times for me to continue to pay them for poor service and no follow-up. I want to be separated from this home warranty immediately.

    I ordered a treadmill from Sears on May 30th, 2019 because of their "Spend $300/Get $300 in points back from ShopYourWay" sale. It was listed as "Scheduled for Delivery" which is fine, until it continued to say that after it was actually delivered. Anyone who shops for SYW points knows that they won't start issuing the points until the item has been picked up or delivered.

    I have been playing phone tag with these people since early June on where my points are and why I haven't been issued them. They say they will "correct my account" to show that the treadmill was delivered, but they haven't done so. I've tried to the chat line on their website, same issue. I used Ebates as well for this purchase, so they also won't credit me until they see that the item is delivered. It is now approaching mid-July, no points. Don't buy anything big from Sears, they will screw you out of points and not fix your account.

    After waiting on hold for nearly an hour I scheduled a repair of our washing machine. When the repairman came he stayed about five minutes and told me to just keep using the machine---it was breaking but not broke. Eventually it would break. I could call again and they would probably replace the machine. I told him I wanted it replaced now---he said no and left. Sears deserves to go bankrupt.

    After trying for three months (really) I finally got through to a customer service agent on the phone after spending 45 minutes on hold (A week ago I spent 2 hours and 15 waiting, while watching a movie, and did not get through). Several prior echats had failed to resolve my problem. When my call finally got through, the connection was so poor that I could understand only about a tenth of what was being said. I spent about 20 minutes trying to explain a very simple problem, as the representative went from phone line to phone line trying to find one that was good enough for me to be able to understand what he was saying. I finally gave up. I'll try again when I have an hour or more to wait on the phone. Nothing has been resolved yet. This is the most exasperating customer service I have ever had.

    I bought a dishwasher with extended warranty from Sears less than three years ago. Six times service has needed to be out. Last week they came and already it is broken again. Used it twice and broke again. I have asked customer service to replace this lemon dishwasher and they have given me the runaround. We have had to use vacation days to wait for repairmen and one came at 4:50 played with phone and at 5 PM said, "I am off the clock." and walked out the door without fixing it. Filed complaint with Better Business Bureau for replacement dishwasher. Will never buy from Sears again. Poor customer service. Try to understand them. Never get.one easy to understand.

    I made my first claim on 6/25 for service between 8-12p on my Kenmore dryer. The technician was an hour and half late with no phone call. I had to call customer service at 1230p to find out where the technician was. I was told he had car trouble. Ok. Reasonable. The tech came at 2p. The part needed was not on the truck. Tech ordered the part and said it is usually delivered within 3 days, which would have been Friday 6/28. We rescheduled my appt to fix the dryer on Monday 7/1 between 8-12p. The part did not come still by Sunday. I called customer service trying to find out where the part was.

    They couldn’t give me info and suggested to reschedule appt for Tuesday 7/2 between 8-12p. I did at that time reschedule. On Monday 7/1 in the morning I received an email from UPS that delivery would be by the end of the day Monday. I called customer service to advise it was being delivered and out for delivery and to confirm my appt for Tuesday morning between 8-12p. I was suppose to be set. Now Tuesday morning I sit here waiting for tech. They never show up. At 1230p I call customer service. On the phone being transferred from service to dispatch and back again for over an hour. Still with no result. They are trying to reach tech to see if he can still fit me in today. But it does not look promising.

    In my first experience with Sears Home Warranty it is disappointing and not worth my money or time spent sitting around waiting the windows out for service and then no one showing and competing the job. I will be cancelling the Sears Home Warranty and finding another option or company to go with. Do yourself a favor and don’t fall for the pitch lines of home it is worth the money.

One week after placing order 3rd party vendor, "Marketplace" calls to tell me Sears made a mistake with online price and they will not honor price advertised online and will not ship to New Jersey. They then tell you they are out of stock. How can Sears advertise a product that is not in stock?

    I went online next day and could order same furniture set at a higher price. Is this legal to advertise a product at one price, pay for it and then be told a week later we no longer have product BUT you can order it at a higher price. After many phone calls to "Marketplace" and SEARS, all anyone says is "sorry. On hold for more than 1:45 minutes each time I call Sears. When you call Marketplace vendor it is a Texas number but you are actually speaking with someone in India. When you speak with them, they say hold on let me get a supervisor to help you, they just hand phone to person sitting next to them. They do not even put phone on hold and laugh when next person speaks with you.

    I ordered a treadmill two and a half weeks back and scheduled my delivery for today, June 29th. I even paid extra to ensure the delivery would be between 8-12. 8 am rolls around and I realize I have not received any call from anyone to confirm the delivery date and I decided to call just to make sure they were coming. As I am waiting on hold, I access my order online which still says June 29 delivery date. While waiting the machine gave me the option to check the order status via the automated machine and I did, it then stated I was scheduled July 13th. I was absolutely floored as I had zero idea of this and had moved a lot of plans around to make sure I could spend time at home waiting today.

    My boyfriend had an opportunity to work a 14 hour overtime shift up in Portland and between the overtime and per diem paid, it would be roughly 800 dollars missed out on so we could sit around and wait for literally nobody. I continue to wait on hold for close to 50 minutes and I found another number for Sears on a website called Gethuman.com which gives suggestions for the fastest way to talk to a person. I used his phone to call that number, got someone with 4 minutes and then I proceeded to ask what was going on with my treadmill delivery. She explained that the systems were down for three or four days and for whatever reason it required them to reschedule tons of deliveries. She said she was part of a team that was contacting people to let them know.

    I advised her I had no idea, nobody called me, nobody emailed me and I let her know of the money we are missing out on sitting around waiting for no one to show up. She told me she so so understands exactly how I feel (no, you don't). I told her to just cancel the order, there is no way I want to continue to do business with a company that clearly does not give a crap. She went silent for about five minutes without indicating that I was going to be put on hold, came back and confirmed cancellation. I just want to put this out there as a warning that this company is horrific with both their delivery practices and customer service.

I have never felt so impotent! I have never written a bad review, but this one really deserves it, for the sake of other customers.

    I bought a Kenmore Elite refrigerator. Have large family (spent about 1 month in restaurants). There is medical conditions, and yet they have no ETA for one part out of 6 of them. Almost seems as if they do it intentionally. Probably are lacking technicians and need to buy time. They tell you to call Kenmore warranty department, and guess what... It takes you back to Sears. It has been about a month already and no help. There is either a tremendous gap between departments. The representatives have very limited access to their managers (which are useless), or maybe they are told not to be bothered. Managers cannot connect all necessary resources to get the job done and satisfy customers. It is a total nightmare!

    In 2012 my wife and I bought a $1,400.00 convection oven/microwave and promptly bought the extended warranty. In 2015 we renewed the warranty for another three years. In August of 2018 we had a problem with the unit. It started to smell funny, that electricity smell. We unplugged it and I called Sears. They said the warranty was no longer in effect. I didn't question it. I figured it was close to the three years and that was that.

    In February of 2019 I received a standard mailer from Sears. They said they would warranty any appliance in the home no matter how old and you didn't even have to buy from them. I thought maybe I will buy the warranty and then use it on the Microwave. I called Sears and the woman was very nice. I explained our situation. Without asking she started to research our case and after a half hour she said that we were in fact under warranty when I called but because they changed the model number of the unit we were not listed, hence the response we didn't have a warranty.

    She assured me she fixed the paperwork and even though it is 2019 we would still qualify for a Sears service person to correct any issues since we called while it was still under warranty. She transferred me and that is when I entered hell. If I had only gotten her name. No matter who I called, talked to, no matter how many phone calls I made, no matter who I pleaded my case to, the response was the same. It didn't matter that when I called in August of 2018 I was still under warranty. Sears admitted they made a mistake by removing me from having a warranty but since we are now out of the warranty period anyway there is nothing they can do about it and they don't feel like they have to do anything about making the situation right.

    On a Friday, I called Sears for a Water Heater that was 20 years old and began emitting a natural gas odor. I didn't get an appointment for 5 days. The day of my appointment, I noticed on an email sent to me that they were sending an HVAC contractor for a "Furnace" and not a plumber for my Water Heater. I quickly called and after 2 hours fighting through their terrible phone system, got to talk to a supervisor. (a miracle) That person did get a plumber out that evening. The plumber they sent had not tools with him to test for a gas leak. Huh! He did determine that he felt the water heater was leaking gas and because of its age should be replaced.

    I called the next morning to see if the contractor was going to come to replace the water heater that day. I was told by the contractor that Sears would not replace the 20 year old water heater and would only replace the burner. AND that it would take 4 days to get the parts. This meant that I had to shut down the gas to the water heater and go without hot water until the part came in.

    My brother-in-law lives with us and he has cancer. I asked the plumber to plea my case and and try to get us help. He did so, and was told by Sears that if they could "not find the 'parts' for the water heater in 24 hours that they would replace the water heater". Well...24 hours came and went. After many calls to the contractor and trying to get through to Sears, nothing happened. They did nothing. No concern about a fire from a gas leak, or the health of a person with cancer. Wow!

    Sears used to be the best. Not so much anymore. Over the past 6 months I have had cause to contact them twice. Both times have been horrible disappointments. The first was when my upright freezer stopped working. I called around and was informed by Sears online, that the local store had a similar capacity unit at a price I could afford and was assured that they would deliver it. So off I went. When I got there, they only had ONE freezer that I could buy and take home right then and it was much smaller, has no light and is not frost free. Everything else on the floor was "Order and pay for it and then wait for delivery to the store before you can pick it up." and "No. We don't deliver. Sorry." But, I was over a barrel because all my food was thawing and NO ONE in town had a freezer I could buy right then at a price I could afford. The ONLY other one was nearly $2,000!

    The next problem was my my LG all-in-one washer-dryer. 5 years ago when it died, I went through - or rather my warranty company went through - half a dozen idiots until I called Sears on my own and they got it fixed. So, when it malfunctioned again, who did I call? Sears! The 'call fee' was $89 to 'diagnose' the problem. Ok, not horrid but a little higher than I'm used to. The tech that arrived was incredibly rude. Nothing overt, but looking down his nose at me, talking down to me and talking over me, that sort of thing. I tried to explain what I knew was happening - the clothes were coming out wet but ONLY when I used the dry cycle so the pump was working fine - so he didn't have to re-invent the wheel and his response was "I'll decide what the problem is after I examine the machine." He then turned his back on me indicating that I had been 'dismissed from his presence'. So I left.

    A while later, he came up to my office and announced that the problem was that I hadn't cleaned out the intake hoses?! That's not in the maintenance manual. Why would I need to clean out hoses running clean water? The filter, the drain hoses - those have to be cleaned, but intake? Well, whatever. I paid him and told him I'd call back if my problem wasn't fixed. When I went downstairs a bit later, I found that he had moved my drying rack off the top of the machine and had not returned it to its location. Moreover, he'd moved the machine out into the room so he could access the back of it and didn't move it back! What sort of person does that sort of thing to an elderly woman with a leg injury who, obviously, can't be expected to move the machine back into place.

    Worse, my clothes were still coming out wet - not damp which is how they would come out of the wash cycle after the spin and before the dry cycle - and not misty which is how they are supposed to come out of the dry cycle in this type of machine - but WET! Which is WHY I had called in the first place. So, the problem WASN'T fixed despite his ever so smug assurances to the contrary. So, I called Sears back, and, after trudging through their 'call center' for nearly 30 minutes where the employees do NOT speak English well enough to readily understand or be understood, I was able to get a call-back from a manager (several hours later) in Customer Care where I filed a complaint against the tech. They apologized, promised me a new 'master technician' would be assigned, and I wouldn't be charged a second fee for the re-diagnosis.

    They sent a new tech out who, I am sorry to say, was completely out of his depth. First, he tried to charge me another diagnostic fee. I told him I'd already paid it and this was a re-visit because the first guy didn't do the job right. So he verified and I wasn't charged, but he should have had that information at the outset. Second, and more importantly, He didn't even recognize the machine for what it was! He said "Is this it? It looks like a washer." I explained that it was an LG All in One. His response was "Really? I've never seen one before. This is interesting." THIS is their 'MASTER TECH' - someone who hasn't even seen an all-in-one let alone worked on one?

    He took a photo of the plate with the model and serial numbers and started searching for information on it. After about 30 minutes, he came upstairs and informed me that the model and serial numbers are "... only coming up with washer parts." And that he was going to have to "go back and do some research" without any attempt at scheduling a followup appointment. Just a promise to call me to set one up.

    Two days later on Thursday, Sears left me a voicemail after 8 pm which is when my phone turns off for the night. So on Friday Morning I get a voicemail telling me they have “Scheduled your technician to arrive between 10 am and 1 pm tomorrow.” Which, of course, it the same day as I received the message. I work from home as a Tax Advocate so all of my meetings with clients are confidential and privileged just like a Doctor or Attorney. I had a client scheduled for the time period the technician was ‘scheduled’ without so much as a courtesy call to verify the time and date with me.

    I called to try to reschedule and was given the royal run-around. “You’re his last appointment.” “We can’t change the appointment now.” I even asked for a supervisor who BS’d me some more and gave NO explanation as to why an appointment was scheduled without any communication with me. She said “I realize you have errands to run…” At which point I cut her off and explained vehemently that I wasn’t ‘running errands’ but had a confidential and privileged meeting with a client and could not have a repair person running in and out during the meeting. She apologized but gave no alternative options so, completely fed up, I said, cancel the appointment and refund me my service fee since I haven’t received any service. Her response was “The service fee is non-refundable.” At which point I told her, impolitely, what she could do with her ‘service fee’ and proceeded to call my attorney.

    I realize the service fee is ‘non-refundable’ but that is only if one actually received the service for which it is intended which I have still not received. I will never call Sears again. They have become like every other money-grubbing, dishonest and lazy repair service company that takes your money and gives you nothing but frustration and aggravation in return. They are useless.

    My dishwasher is 3 years old and I have a 5 year Sears protection plan. Apparently, they contract it out. Terrible service. It's a month, and I'm still waiting for it to be fixed. First time was a no show. Second time I was told I need a motor and someone would call me... No calls. I called Sears and they cannot help because it's contracted out. The worst service ever.

    I bought the Sears Home Warranty and have kept it current for a few years. The price has went up (only by about 25%) and the service down considerably.
    1. The techs that come out are always professional and nice. They are knowledgeable for the most part and they do a good job.

    2. I have never been turned down for a claim. I've never had to fight for a claim and they do come through when needed.

    Now the bad parts:

    3. Getting through their "phone tree" is a nightmare. You will be switched from department to department over and over.

    4. As time goes by, the wait times for service gets longer and longer. It used to be about a week before they could get a technician out to fix a problem. Now, it's about three weeks. Imagine going three weeks without a clothes dryer and having to go to the laundry mat. However, they do always send somebody. Sometimes, in the worst case scenarios, they'll send somebody three weeks out only to find out they don't have the right part and then you wait another three weeks for the part to come in the mail and a person to show up and install it. Now imagine going without an appliance for six weeks.

    5. When this year's contract is up, I'm going to try Home Shield instead of Sears Home Warranty. There has to be a better turn-around time than waiting on Sears Home Warranty.

    I called for a repair on a Kenmore washer. Tech came out and told me that the bearings were gone. I have a service agreement. He said that he would need to order the part and gave me a new date that he would come back. I waited for the date and was then called and asked if the part had arrived. I said, "What do you mean did it arrive? I thought your service company would get the part." They said, "Oh no, it would have been sent to you." We have a tracking number of UPS for you. Call and track it and then call us when it comes in. I went online to track the part and it said that it was due on the 31st of the month, the day of this appointment. Well on the 31st the part was in Shrewsbuy, MA. Shipped 3 days earlier from Indiana.

    It was suppose to be here on the 3rd of the next month, so an appointment was made for the 4th. Well UPS tracking on the 3rd said that it was not going to be here until the 4th. A three day lay over in Shrewsbury, MA. Shrewsbury is only about an hour and a half from my town, but it was held up there for 3 days. The service reps. came on the morning of the 4th as schedule, but of course they was no part. They said again when it comes in call Sears. It came to my house at 5 PM. I called Sears repair to let them know and asked for another appointment for the next day. The service rep. told me that a repair man would be there soon. Now it is eight thirty. No repair man and I have tried for the last two hours to get some information as for when to see a repair man.

    They say that he is on his way, that he has the repair order. I asked if they could confirm when he might get here but they said the system shows that he has the order and that they cannot tell me anything, but if I wish to call in the morning that they may be able to tell me something, or that I could reschedule the appointment. Between Sears Service and the UPS it seems no one knows anything. Oh UPS charged UPS 3 Day Select for the shipping of the part. That means that they guarantee it would be there in 3 days. Must be that they didn't count the 4 days it was held in their MA. facility. So far it's been almost 2 weeks waiting for this part and repair.

    Purchased a top of the line Kenmore washer/dryer in 2015 and the extended in home services warranty. The washer began making noise that was obviously not normal. Called Sears January 2019 to schedule service. Had difficulty getting to the right department and was transferred so many times, then had extended hold times, so I ended up having to call back. Did this several times until finally I could get to the right person to come out (this was beginning of March 2019).

    The tech came out and said he had to order parts and would have them delivered to the house and return the following week on Thursday (about 10 days later). Parts came before the Thursday but no tech. I waited to see if they would call me but no call. By the following week I called (going through the lengthy hold/annoying message about using their online service which wasn't helpful because it couldn't find our account/information). Finally, I get them on the phone and they schedule the tech to come back out. 10 days later they are out but cannot repair the machine, so they say, someone will call to replace the the machine. I wait, no call.

    After 10 days, I call (go through the lengthy hold/annoying message saying visit us online for faster service BUT it still doesn't recognize our account). Finally, get someone on the line and they said, "Just go to a Sears store in your area," and provide my phone number and they will provide a replacement machine (but I had to pay the difference). I go to our local store and found out both local stores closed. So I go to a Sears outlet still open and they said, just go online and buy there because they can use the warranty refund (but the outlet couldn't). I go online, pick out everything and then chat with someone to get it paid for and they say "sorry, you will have to call customer service and have them send you an eGift card". I do that, call customer service (go through the lengthy hold/annoying message for nearly 30 minutes).

    Finally, I get someone on the phone and they say "we cannot do an eGift card for online purchase". I explained that we don't have a local store to use and she said she would have to transfer me. I stopped her and explained how much time I have spent trying to resolve this and the endless hold time. This representative was nice enough to set things up and then transfer/hold with me to get me to the right person. I thought that, finally, things would be handled. Not so fast. I get the order in and then the new representative says "someone will call you back in the next few days to take payment and finalize the order". I ask for an email confirmation, tracking #, something to reference and a phone # that won't force me into multiple transfers and lengthy, wasteful holds. She wasn't very friendly and could not provide me with any account/tracking/order # but did provide me with a more direct 800 to call. I wait, no phone call.

    I call back in 4 days figuring that was enough time. The new # was easier to get assistance. I was able to pay for the order and get my part paid, and delivery scheduled. The call ended with "they will call you to confirm the delivery" and you will get notifications with updates on the order. No updates or calls. I call the day before the order delivery date and they state that, yes, the order is scheduled for next day. However, I am reluctant because no phone call to coordinate the delivery has occurred. They inform me I will get one the evening before. We'll see. I really hope so because this is about all I can take of this wasteful process.

    Sears needs to streamline communications, weed out the constant transfers that cause customers to start all over. Other helpful things would be to update the search abilities from their online portal to allow for more streamlined, efficient communications. The waste of my time was significant but it is also wasting the time of sears team members which impacts the cost of doing business in several ways. I honestly don't think I will purchase again through Sears or Sears Home Services because of the poor customer service.

    I started a chat for help on an order placed. An order status seems like a pretty simple request. You think after 100 yrs they might have a workable system down. After the same questions asked by them over and over again, because you get transferred to different people (10 times!). They will say reviewing chat, then ask the same question, that I answered three times. Really? After an HOUR, when you think they finally have the person or dept to reply with an answer that was helpful? NOPE. They said they would have to get back to me in 24-48 hours. Hah. They did not even ask or verify my contact info. This is not the first time I had a bad experience with Sears. I only purchase something for a business when I have to, because I know better.

The new vanity was much smaller. However, instead of advising us of this eyesore of a discovery, the contractor senselessly proceeded to install the new vanity anyway. Leaving this huge brown streak of liquid nails visible on both sides of the new vanity. The contractor states that anything unknown would be brought to the attention of the home owner. But this did not happen. In addition, the floor was installed crooked and a grab bar was put in the wrong place. So they now have to come back and redo the floor and grab bar. This will entail them removing the new vanity. The job was rushed and done very unprofessionally. This remodel by Sears is definitely no improvement.

    We have gone through two months so far without a refrigerator in the kitchen. Well, I take that back: there's a refrigerator, but it doesn't work. It stopped working the first week in April at the ripe old age of ten months. It took until April 17th to get a repair man here. Of course it was the compressor. He ordered it that day, while in our kitchen and set a return visit for May 2nd to install it. The compressor was supposed to be delivered to our house. It has never arrived. Of course, I had to cancel the May 2nd appointment. I have tried repeatedly to find out when the compressor will be here, or if it's even really on its way. I have been told each time that someone will contact us within 48 hours. No one ever does.

    We were fools and purchased a $400 three-year Master Protection Plan on this $3,000 lemon but a lot of good that will do when we can't even get it repaired while it's still under the original manufacturer's warranty. I honestly don't know what to do next, who to call or contact. No one responds. So here we are, into June now, still waiting.... We have lost hundreds of dollars in food and wasted countless hours because of this. How difficult is it to ship a darned compressor? And why did it have to be shipped from Korea or wherever it's coming from (if it is)? Why don't they have them in stock here?

I offered the model number multiple times but she never took it down.

    On Mother's Day, we came home to our refrigerator not working. Monday morning, my husband called Sears Home Repair. We had not choice, but to call them because we purchased a service agreement at the time we bought our refrigerator. My husband gave them a few days during the next week that we would be available, but the first they could schedule was the next Saturday between 10am and 2pm. We had family plans that day, but my husband decided to stay home and get the refrigerator repaired.

    I left at 9am to go to our family event. At 11:15, an hour and 15 minutes into my husband's wait time, Sears home service called my cellphone to inform me that our service tech has been sick ALL WEEK and would not be coming to repair our refrigerator that day. I explained that my husband was missing a family event and I would like someone else at our house by 2pm. I explained that since the tech was sick all week, we could have been called Friday or even at 8am or 9am that morning and our family plans would not have been ruined for the whole day. The answer was "No one is available". I asked to speak to a supervisor and got the same answer. I talked to 4 people during that hour and 15 minutes and the last one ended up disconnecting me.

    During a break in our family activities, I called again. I still got the same answer from everyone. No one is available. There seemed to be very little attempt to accommodate us at all even though we were terribly inconvenienced by their cancellation. At one point, one of the phone people asked if we could reschedule on Saturday May 25. I said we could not schedule that day because we would be out of town. I would have to call back to figure out a time to schedule. A few minutes after I hung up, my husband got an email stating that we were scheduled for service with Sears on Saturday May 25 between 8 and 12. I called AGAIN and said we would not be available that day. The phone person asked if I wanted the appointment cancelled. I said they could do what they wanted with that appointment but we would not be home.

    I finally got the appointment scheduled on Wednesday, May 29. I was given the 8am to noon wait time. I informed them that I needed to leave for work at 11:30am so they needed to be at my house in time for me to leave for work. When I spoke to Sears the night before the appointment, I reminded them that I needed to leave for work by 11:30. I was again told there was really no guarantee. Thankfully, the technician showed up at 8:30am and was able to repair my refrigerator. He was VERY nice. I would give him a "10" rating, while giving the schedulers a zero.

He used our credit card to order parts, but Sears has refused to provide us with a receipt for that transaction. When the second technician arrived a week later after the parts had arrived, he was unable to complete the repair because the first technician hadn't told us we needed to unplug the fridge the day before. He had to reschedule for 5 days later, on a day that no one can be home, despite the fridge being completely taken apart and non-functional.

    We spend hours talking to Sears employees on the phone and in person and no one was willing to fit in our appointment any sooner, although the entire problem was the company's fault.

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

    Well this second time, I had to wait over a week for the appointment, then tried to contact Sears to request at least a 30 minute heads up because I couldn't take another whole day off. After many highly irritating recorded automatons and re-routings, which said over and over my phone number didn't pull up any appointment, I reached a person, who said that he would put in that request but couldn't absolutely guarantee it. Finally on the scheduled day at 2:41p I got a text saying that the "technician" was on route. I jumped in my car, tried to call Sears Repair but kept getting the same run around, tried to access their online "chat" but couldn't, so I finally hung up, thinking that I'd be there shortly anyway and what repairman is ever really that timely?

    Well Alex, the C'ville "tech" called at 2:57p to say he was at my house. I said "I'm 7 miles away, 5 of which are interstate, I should be there in about 5 minutes or so." He was short with me, saying that he could only wait "5 minutes" because the next appointment was "in Schuyler". I said "Well this is the second time you've had to come out because it wasn't done right the first time" so I expect you to wait. I arrived home at 3:06p and he was long gone. There's only one road back to the interstate, and I didn't see him. From the time Sears texted me till I arrived home was 25 minutes!!! Plus, I assured surly Alex that I was minutes away. I was FURIOUS and called Sears - again having to wait for an extended period and then going through massive recorded rigamarole. A Sears rep eventually said that Alex'd come back and so I was satisfied- but only temporarily.

    After about another 25 minutes I wondered if he was going to go to Schuyler first and then here, so again, made a painful protracted call to Sears, who told me there was nothing noted about Alex coming back. The only info was that he'd arrived at 2:56 and I wasn't home. My beef wasn't primarily with the 8-5p "window" even though that's patently unreasonable, it's that this is THEIR mistake that they're fixing and all I asked for was a 30 minute heads up out of 9 HOURS!!! Then they told me he was coming back and then that he wasn't and they were utterly unconcerned about any inconvenience to me. So if you enjoy horrible customer service, inadequate repairs, inconsiderate runarounds, flat out incompetency by Sears reps and thus banging your head against a corporate brick wall, by all means, schedule a Sears repair!!!

At 4:45 pm I called Sears customer service and was told (after a 45 minute wait on hold) that the delivery truck was in route and would be at my house around 6:30 pm. Guess what, nobody showed or called.

Nobody can figure this out and nobody will let me speak to a customer service rep. supervisor. After 3 hours I was finally put through to the Sears store in Butte, Montana? Okay, after speaking to 5 different customer service reps who could not help, I am now on hold trying to cancel my order. I have been on hold for 56 minutes and counting trying to cancel my order.

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

    When I arrived, they told me that would not accept it back since I had purchased it online. I explained that the website offered both options. Then they pointed to the return address on the item that was not a Sears address and said I had purchased it through "The Marketplace" so they could not accept it. I was unhappy about it since the website says nothing about this and I was completely unfamiliar about The Marketplace. So I went home. Once at home, I reviewed all details of the purchase and I realized I had indeed purchased it through the Sears website and absolutely NOT through The Marketplace.

    I then contacted Sears via their online Chat feature. After explaining the issue to the customer service rep, he said they would have accepted it at a Sears store if it was "sold by Sears". And could return it to Kmart if it was "sold by Kmart". I copied my receipt to him that said "Sold by Sears" on the actual receipt and online account. After looking at it he said that it would not be accepted by the store if it didn't have a Sears return address on it. I asked him to point out this explanation online so I could see if I missed it. He said it was not stipulated online but that's what he "thought was the problem".

    He finally said they'd send me a free return shipping label within 72 hours. And, he'd offer me 5% off my next purchase at Sears. I thought he was joking and told him I've spent well over that in gas and time trying to return this and that I'd never attempt to purchase anything through Sears or Kmart again. Very frustrated that they continue to change their story to fit their narrative but it's clear Sears is no longer the once proud and high-quality store it once had been.

I have NEVER had a grill do this. I then was directed to the parts team at Sears and they said the parts were $185.00 and I only paid $200 for the entire grill. This is crap, the grill, the warranty & Sears in their promise to cover my product because it was left outside and it was misuse letting it get exposed to moisture even with the Kenmore grill cover used. So do not buy ANYTHING from Sears or their warranties because they will not cover it. I looked at their warranty plan and do not see ANYWHERE it states it does not cover environment exposure.

He then showed my parents the “calculation” and tried to charge them $600 saying that’s how much it will cost for him to come back and fix it. When they mentioned deducting the $125 diagnostic fee he said “Oh right, $475 will be the total then." Luckily my parents were smarter than that and refused. He told them he will order the part ($60.60) to our home and they can fix it themselves since he won’t come back. They thought this was ok.

    He continued to sell them warranty for the part for $50 in which it doesn’t show on my receipt (however there is a $50 LABOR charge) but no proof of warranty or even a mention of it. He then went on to try and convince them that the entire panel was faulty because the filter was moving a bit and sticking out a tad. My dad (whose pretty versed in fixing things told the guy it’s supposed to do that and the door panel is what keeps the filter in). The tech then said “Oh yea” and moved on to charge my parents $255.92. When they asked for a receipt he simply told them it would be emailed. It was emailed to me while I was at work and it noted that we were charged $60.50 for parts, $125 diagnostic fee (which was supposed to be taken out), $50 labor fee - he didn’t do anything, $20.32 repair costs and taxes.

    I called Sears to talk to them about this and guess what?! They say to me “The receipt we see here is that you were charged $190.09.” I contested this and told them what had happened and the representative told me that the $190 we were supposed to be charge was including the labor charge of the tech to come back and fix our fridge!!!! So not only did this man scam my parents of money (charging $255.92) but he also lied to my parents claiming it’s an extra $600 (then changed it to $475) to have him come back to fix it!!!!!

    Check your receipts and charges guys. This guy's out there. I’m still fighting with Sears to get our money back and honestly for all this inconvenience we shouldn’t even be charged. This man left our home after his “labor” and my fridge is still broken AND we have no part or proof that he ordered a part to our home. This man is not to be trusted! I am beyond livid, my parents work way too hard for them to be tricked like this.

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

After he left, I received a second opinion and there was nothing wrong with the machine. The machine works just fine. It was a one time problem with the machine being out of balance because of a too small load. I was unfamiliar with this issue.

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

    Jump ahead to March 27. After additional calls between March 15 the refrigerator is declared unrepairable. Expected a call from Sears within 3 business days with a credit amount. No call. Call Sears 4/8. Ask about credit. Told it is still in the works. Nothing in system yet. Call back in a week. Call 4/15 paperwork was not processed and the ball was dropped by 'Someone'. Told them I needed an immediate credit or I would buy fridge from a local store and bill Sears. They got a Manager to approve credit amount.

    Went to store to order replacement NOT a Kenmore brand. Told 3 weeks delivery. NOT acceptable. Best they can do. Delivery 5/10. Get reminder calls 5/8 and a specific delivery time on 5/9 for the Friday delivery. Get a call Friday, morning. Item was NOT shipped to Sears warehouse for delivery to me. Will be NEXT Friday, 5/17 the earliest.

    To add insult to injury the Protection Agreement had a renewal date between our initial service call and when the refrigerator was declared unrepairable. Told Sears we wanted to see what happens with this existing situation BEFORE we renew. Were told that if we did NOT renew they would NOT be able to replace the refrigerator. I pointed out that the initial report for service, a pre existing case and open active claim was ALREADY in the works BEFORE the renewal date. This claim that I had to renew a Master Protection Plan for 2019-2020 on a Kenmore Elite I would no longer have sounds ILLEGAL. I was told that the agreement would auto transfer to the replacement refrigerator.

    We paid this by mistake. Now when I tried to cancel the warranty I was told it has $0.00 refundable value. I already paid the credit card over a month ago so not sure I can dispute the charge any longer as a way to force Sears hand. Obviously I had to go out and buy a spare refrigerator that we put in the garage since no one can go 1 month let alone 3 months without a working refrigerator. Between spending money on a spare fridge, the time delay and being forced to renew a useless protection agreement I can clearly understand why SEARS is going out of business.

But the work was absolutely unacceptable. For example, for the scheduled maintenance on the range, they basically turned it on and said it was working, I could have told them that. They basically vacuumed around the appliances and that was it. The worst part of this is when I tried to call and complain, I was told I could make another appointment, take another day off, and get another technician to do the job. They would not refund or credit me for the shoddy work I had already had done. 3 calls to get this unacceptable answer. Sears home services used to be exemplary, but now it's a rip-off.

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

    After over 30 minutes on hold, I was told they couldn't accept it... that I would have to deal with the third party. Bestone pretty much told me that there was nothing wrong with it and to enjoy it and share it with my family. Really? Who does that? After calling Sears again, and waiting another 30 minutes on hold, and just being looped back to the 3rd party, they said they would issue a $50 refund... I paid $127.

    However, I have not received the refund and can't get anyone at Bestone, Sears, or the Sears credit card to care whatsoever that I've paid $127 for an incomplete piece of junk that I can't do anything with. You can't get in touch with a real person who speaks English, their emails are "no reply", and Bestone is simply a scam. Sears sucks and I will not do business there again.

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

    One week later, the part arrived and a different tech arrived to repair fridge. Before starting the repair, he told me to cross my fingers and hope it wasn't the compressor. "What? A diagnostic was done! It needs a new electric board." He completed the repair and I asked that he do another diagnostic to make sure it wasn't the compressor. He refused saying it needed to be plugged in for 24 hours. He also told me it was unfortunate that I didn't purchase the home warranty. Hmmm!! Within 10 minutes of tech leaving my house, I realized that the fridge was not working. In fact it was 2 degrees warmer. I immediately called and said the tech needed to return. I was told that wasn't an option and I would need to schedule a new tech/new diagnostic... next available date-6 days! I would incur another charge for service along with another repair bill. Not acceptable!

    Other service people will not touch the fridge as they won't repair compressor, as they don't believe they will be paid by Sears. I am disputing the charge as the part that was repaired didn't fix it. Therefore, I can not pay for something that probably wasn't needed in the first place. I believe that this is a total Scam. Sadly, we will be junking our 2 1/2 year old Kenmore and replacing it with a new fridge that will not be Kenmore or LG. I do not trust Sears or their repair service. Buyer Beware!!

    We purchased our Kenmore Stackable Washer/Dryer from Sears 13-14 years ago and the dryer stopped drying. We only needed a belt plus the inside looked pretty dusty so we authorized a cleaning of it as well. The first service man broke the 2 plastic hooks to open the panel that holds the knobs and switches in between the washer and dryer. He left the front sticking out slightly so I had to call the Service repair again. I stipulated that we had a doctor's appointment to go to but the person who took the call did not make a note of that and hence the repair man didn't know that we were antsy to leave for our doctor's appt. Fortunately the 2nd repair man knew what to do and is replacing the broken part for free as their repair man broke it.

    I now only hope that we will get the 2nd repair man back as he is definitely better than the 1st one but it is not a guarantee. It seems that the people on the phone don't really listen to their customers.

    My longstanding GE Profile oven had a mechanical issue over the weekend, my first call was to Sears appliance repair. I was scheduled for a visit on Monday afternoon bet 1-5, and the customer service rep sold me a home warranty to cover all kitchen appliances. Why? It made sense. The policy was for $49 with a $99 deductible and could be cancelled at anytime (I repeated this question, he confirmed, anytime), and the stove repairs would be included.

    I waited home, and the tech didn't show, he called near the end of the day to say he "might be able to come" tomorrow - I could not take a day off to sit and wait for another maybe. He advised me to call dispatch and request an alternate, but dispatch said that since this tech was assigned, I was out of luck. I realized that I'd need to have a more reliable service come out, and requested to cancel the home warranty - not much use to a warranty which can't be used.

    Two calls and a lot of wait time later, I'm told it can't be cancelled - FRAUD ALERT - I have to pay the first 30 days, and then remember to call back in a month to try and cancel it then. So I was sold a warranty for a repair service who can't come out, for a warranty that could be cancelled "at any time" that can't actually be cancelled, and I still need to find a new repair service - $49 poorer and a lot wiser.

    This service is touted as one of the best you can have. Well, here where I live in Columbia South Carolina I would rate it the absolute worst.

The first time I called to place a claim for my garage door, it took over 4 weeks to get fixed.

    I called repeatedly to check the status and find out why no one has come and was promised several times, that my case would be elevated. The company assigned to fix it would call me, say they were coming and never call back, wasting several of my days sitting waiting for them. They finally showed up to diagnose the issue and collected my fee ($100) after a couple of weeks. The technician even called to told me he was on the way twice and I didn't see him at all or get a callback. I contacted customer service to complain and they promised several times to correct the issue and to call me back, but nothing was done and no one ever called me back. I finally got another company to come fix the garage after 4 WEEKS.

    The second time which is ongoing is getting my microwave oven fixed. The technician showed up in two days, to diagnose the issue and collected my hundred bucks. He said they had to order a part. This has been going on for 6 WEEKS now. I've called Sears numerous time to get some action, however, all the promises to call me back with a resolution or to get the company to do something or contact me were all lies.

The Protection Plan had not expired & after hours on the phone being transferred, disconnected & placed on hold for a week, I was told they wouldn’t honor the Protection Plan because when the first defective weed trimmer I returned the store, the Sears employee had failed to transfer the Protection Agreement to the replacement weed trimmer. I have all the original & replacement sales receipts buy but they have used every excuse possible to avoid honoring the Protection Plan. So the employees' lack of training (or is that done on purpose??) results in a consumer paying for a Protection Plan that is NOT honor. However, Sears is more than willing to try to get you to extend this useless Protection Plan. My advice - buy from a company that stands behind their products & will be around for the long haul.

    I purchased a Kenmore washer/dryer stackable combo on March 2018 for more than $16,000 and paid it off before the interest promotion expired. The washer broke down late November of the same year. I called and they sent out a "technician" in December and he claimed that it needed a part. To make a long story short, they sent out a technician 12 times (On two occasions two technicians came to work on it together) and they never repaired the machine. What Sears kept doing was to prolong the services in order for the 1 year warranty to expire. They lied and said the machine was fixed, and it never was. I complained numerous times and they declined to give me a replacement. I will never buy anything from Sears again. Sears, a billion dollar company treats loyal customers like **. I don't understand how they can sleep at night and wake up knowing that they cheat the customers that are paying their salary.

    There’s a reason a strong respectable name in business is going out of one. They lie about everything. From the original salesman giving offers and promises to the delivery time of things that are connected to Sears points which you can expect 3 hrs after the Latest promised time. Also the salesman will say the difference between them and Costco is that Costco subcontracts their HVAC business which is blatant false advertising because Sears does as well when they go out of their way to say they don’t. They lie about about everything. I’ve never written one of these before but felt like it’s my personal duty because Sears was so dishonest and unprofessional in every sense of the matter.

    My ice maker had stopped working on our Samsung twin door refrigerator (a notorious problem with this brand). I had purchased the ice making unit from Amazon, but couldn’t initially remove the inside panel (had to use a flathead screwdriver more aggressively), so fearing I might break the panel, I decided to have a Sears home services tech come. While trying to set up the appointment, I was convinced (tricked) into buying their yearly warranty for $49 per month; It was on a Sunday.

    Later in the day I was able to install the ice maker successfully. I tried to cancel the appointment I had made for the coming Wednesday, but they couldn’t find a record of having made one. I then said I wanted to cancel my service warranty. I was transferred to another number which said their office was closed and to call back during business hours (where to sell me the warranty I was transferred to a call center in the Philippines, but not to cancel, for that I would be bottlenecked into their standard US based center).

    I called the number. The computer recognized my phone number and asked if this was related to my upcoming appointment (it had apparently propagated through their system by then), so I did cancel it. I then asked the computer to cancel my service contract. For that, I was transferred to a call center. I was on hold for 70 minutes when I was disconnected by their system. Called back again, and now I am an hour into my hold for my second call (so I am using this time to write this review). This seems quite deliberate. The system knows I want to cancel, and thus is putting up maximum red tape. So far it’s over 2 hours and I haven’t gotten through yet. I absolutely advise people not to do business with this company. They deserve to go bankrupt. Stay away from these thieves!

The Technician came, opened the door, Recorded the model number, did not move the refrigerator to check anything and said "It has a bad condenser fan motor. I don't have one and will have to order one". Both the fans were blowing air. I questioned her diagnosis, and she became very arrogant and talked to me and my wife like we were idiots.

She told me that because it is specified in the plumbing section of the contract that this needs to apply to all sections of the legal contract document. This is INCORRECT. Legal contracts are written in such a way that they are VERY SPECIFIC about what is and is not covered.

    I have bought a Kenmore refrigerator at my local Sears store. The delivery was scheduled for Saturday, April 13, 2019, between 12:15 ad 2:15 pm. At 2 pm with no delivery and no calls, I called Sears phone number and was told that my delivery is next in line. At the same time a text message came that my delivery will be in 40 minutes, despite the fact that I explicitly said at the time of order NOT to use my cell number and NO text messages, please. At 4 pm with still no delivery I called Sears again and was told that my delivery is next, that 'they are at delivery #5, and yours is #6'. At 6 pm with still no delivery I call Sears again and ask to talk to a supervisor. Supervisor comes and informs me about my call being recorded. I inform the supervisor that I also record the call for my own file.

    Supervisor informs me that I am 'not allowed to it'. I tell her that it is perfectly legal for me to record this phone call. We go back and forth like this for a while, then the supervisor hangs up on me. I call Sears again and ask for a supervisor. I am placed on hold and I am waiting for 20 minutes, and hang up. At 7 pm I call Sears again and at this time I am screaming for supervisor to be talk to me immediately. Supervisor come, another one, not the one I have already talked to, and says that the phone connection is very poor (true, I was struggling through all the previous conversations), and she will call me from another, better line. OK, she calls within a couple of minutes.

    At this time I am informed that my fridge has been delivered. WHAT? It was not delivered. I am really tired of dealing with Sears and I ask to cancel my order and to issued full refund, no restoring fees, etc. I am told that the order is cancelled and my money will be refunded within 7 to 10 business days.

    Sears repair came home to fix a pulley from the dryer that was making a squeaking sound. Sears window time for repair was 8am-5pm (so a full workday lost)!

During the claim procedure I am told that they cannot follow up with the claim because I am not the owner of the house. The claim has to be done by the landlord, and that the landlord needs to provide 2 quotes for repair. I tell them that I am willing to repair and would like a refund/credit. I am told that if so I need to provide a receipt of the expense to the landlord (that means I need to pay out-of-pocket first for a damage Sears caused). This is horrible service!

    I purchased a Kenmore gas range last year to replace a perfectly fine oven just so all my appliances could be Kenmore, and started having issues with it almost immediately. I bake as a second means of income and my cupcakes weren't rising evenly. They sent out a new rack and this didn't take care of the issue. Unfortunately life got in the way and I wasn't able to continue the fight about the uneven rising. So fast forward to about 4 months ago my light bulbs start burning out every 3 weeks. So I call to complain about the light bulbs and bring up the issue with the uneven baking again.

    I've had 5 scheduled visits. The first visit the technician stated he would replace the socket for the light bulb because it seemed a little loose but he really wasn't sure that that was the issue but didn't test anything else. Then he tried to tell me that maybe my baking game was off and that my baking pans were the issue and that I needed to make sure to preheat the oven. I don't use cheap baking pans. They are commercial grade and I've been baking for 20 years so I know to preheat an oven. So he stated that on the next visit when they came to install the new socket they would run a temperature test to make sure things were heating up properly.

    Come the second visit the technician says that he came to the door and nobody answered when my brother had been sitting here since 9 in the morning. Come the third visit he changes the socket as he was supposed to but didn't check the temperature and unfortunately he left before I could advise my husband do not let him leave before doing what he was supposed to have done. The fourth visit he was supposed to have done the temperature testing and all he did was check the socket which he had just replaced the week before.

    Now today's appointment which I had to leave work early unexcused and probably get a verbal warning for and they'll be using 4 hours of my vacation time that I was trying to save so that I can come and be at the house for the appointment. I get a call at 12:45 from the technician telling me he's on the way but that there was going to be a service charge plus parts because I'm no longer under warranty. I tell him okay and to give me a couple of minutes so that I can get this situated with Sears because I'm not supposed to be charged. I hang up with him, call Sears, speak to an agent and she assured me that she sent him a message telling him that today's visit was not to be charged. So I hang up with her and I sit here waiting for an hour and no one shows up.

    I call Sears and the agent advises me that the appointment was canceled! I asked to speak to a manager. Immediately get placed on hold for about 2 minutes and then I got hung up on. I call back.H ave to explain the whole ordeal again to another agent before she would transfer me to a manager. I speak to a manager who advises me that this technician supposedly got to my house at around 1:40 and that I canceled the appointment. Her only resolution was to schedule me again for tomorrow. I have absolutely no way of being at my house and have nobody to be at the house for me. This is the worst customer service I have ever experienced and we'll never purchase anything else from Sears again. I'm still in the process of trying to fight this and I'm trying to work directly with Kenmore and will take it further if I need to.

So I missed him by ten minutes.

    I called Sears and was told he would come back. He did not. After much aggravation with the scheduling department, all I could do was reschedule for another ONE WEEK out. So now that makes THREE WEEKS without a refrigerator due to their incompetence in the first place. And, if I need another part, which they should have known in the first place, that will make FOUR WEEKS. Talked to the scheduling supervisor Gina, and got no place.

    I purchased a new garage door opener last Monday 4/1. It is a Craftsman model. The actual company that installs the garage doors called me on Tuesday 4/2 indicating that installation would be on Monday 4/8 but they did not provide a time. So come Monday 4/8 (yesterday) I called to find out what time the tech would arrive. I was told by both the Sears Installation department and the actual company that dispatches the installation technicians that I was not even scheduled for installation yesterday and that the soonest would be Wed. 4/10. I took an entire day off from work (unpaid) to wait for the tech on 4/8 because that is what I was promised.

    I asked for my $119.99 installation fee to be refunded, and no lie, I was bounced around from department to department and from representative to representative for 2.5 hours today, and about 2 hours yesterday. Amy from the Installation department advised me yesterday that she was going to escalate my issue and get me a refund, only to find out no case was even opened yesterday. So today, I go around and around in circles. Supposedly a employee named Rem will be issuing an adjustment (case # **) but I am skeptical. In addition the installation tech was actually able to come out this morning to install it. It worked fine while he was here and 2 more times after that, but come evening, one of the huge torsion springs that is attached to the garage door and actually works to raise the garage door snapped completely in 1/2.

    Are you aware that this could have killed someone if they were near it, because of the great force they have? These springs are fairly new, as they were installed brand new when I had a new garage door installed. This can't be coincidental. Something was not installed properly with the garage door and too much pressure was put on those springs, causing it to snap. So once again, I called Sears back and had to be transferred several more times. Another case # ** has been issued to get an installer back out, but she advised that can take several days. And to top it off, Sears had the nerve to ask if I wanted a free consult for home improvements. Are they serious?

    This whole event has been a nightmare. And to think I was in the market for a new dishwasher right now, because mine died last week. Unless they offer me a HUGE discount on a new dishwasher, to reimburse me for my time and lack of pay from my job by sitting at home waiting for an installer.

    I bought a Kenmore Elite refrigerator 4 years ago for $3,170 plus tax and a warranty for 2 years for $500. Within 3 months, the refrigerator made a loud noise because of a fan hitting some ice so repairs had to made. 4 years later, it doesn't work at all (not cooling or freezing). Of course, the warranty expired and I don't remember getting a renewal notice. I called Sears to come and repair it for a $99 service fee but the earliest appointment was in 20 days. With no other option, I had to call a local company to come and look at it. $1,000 later for a computer unit, the refrigerator still does not properly work. So I still have to deal with Sears because Kenmore is owned by Sears. They will come in 20 days with a service fee so they can see if the repairs are covered by the manufacturer's warranty (sealed components or compressor).

    By the way, this Kenmore refrigerator replaced an LG refrigerator that I also purchased at Sears and that also lasted less than 5 years. It is a crime that companies are making products of such poor quality while consumers are paying a lot for them. There needs to be regulations to protect the public and the environment because the more we throw away, the worse it is for our planet.

    I spoke with their customer service rep, "Marcus," I told him about the refrigerator being damaged and asked why wasn't the stove delivered. "Marcus" informed me that the refrigerator and stove would not be delivered until sometime in April. I told him to cancel the order, or if he could do something about the issue, I would hold off on canceling. He gave me a $320 credit, and the stove would arrive on Feb. 4th, but the fridge would arrive in April. I agreed. He said the credit would be entered on my account within ten business days. Two weeks later nothing, I gave them more time than I should have. I called again on Mar. 1st, this time there was a lot of back and forth. One rep told me that there were no notations about the credit. Then another rep, "Bobby," found the notations and said again within ten business days the credit would reflect on my account.

    My wife called on Mar. 19th and after a few transfers she spoke with "Sandra." "Sandra" informed my wife that the credit would be issued after the fridge was delivered. My wife told her that I was never told that. I told my wife to cancel the order and get the stove. "Sandra" canceled the order for the fridge and informed my wife that the stove was too late to cancel because it was over the return policy. My wife told her that it was at no fault on us because of their lack of customer service and not informing us about the credit being issued after the full delivery. "Sandra" wasn't able to help and hung up on my wife.

    I followed up the next day with another representative. Spoke with a manager and he would review my case and get back to me. Nothing was resolved. We finally received the credit from the refrigerator; something did not look right on the remaining balance and the total balance of the stove. I check my receipts, and it turns out I was never given the sale price (which included a 10% discount) on the stove and only given the sale price for the refrigerator. I ended up paying full price for the stove.

    I went directly to the store where I made a purchase talk to a sales rep and manager, both of them said they were not able to give me the sale price of the stove because the promotion was over, that I needed to call customer service. I'm over SEARS and their lack of care for their customers. Their outsourced customer service is the worst- nothing but liars and cheaters. I have told friends, family and whoever will listen to me to not purchase anything from Sears.

I called delivery and they said they had never picked it up from store. "Do I have the "pro" number? No, I didn't. Since it was later in the week, I just waited them out. No delivery the next Sunday. I called the store today. No answer. No answer? No wonder they are going under. Let's merge Sears (a crappy company) with Kmart (another crappy company) and THEN we'll have a great company!

    If I could rate this a "0" I would. This has been the most horrendous experience I have ever had with any service! I placed a call a little over a month ago for my fridge. Had an issue w/ the ice maker due to condensation building because the doors don't always close properly. 1st Saturday visit - the technician said he had to order parts, which he did right there and then. He scheduled an appointment for 2 weeks later (Saturday appt.) to give enough time for the parts to come in. I received a package (which btw I didn't realize was being shipped directly to me). I called Sears the Monday before the scheduled Saturday appointment to confirm, to then find out that my appt. was changed to Friday.

    I was never notified of this change. Fine - I had to take a vacation day. 2nd visit - the technician arrived two hours after the service window (9am to 2pm) - he showed up at 4pm. Only to discover that not all the parts were sent. The technician could not do a thing. So I wasted a vacation day. The missing part came a couple of days later. Scheduled yet another appointment for this past Saturday. Guess what folks? The technician never showed up. This was after receiving 3 emails and a text confirming the appointment and a phone call that I made to confirm as well.

    At this point I was about to have a brain aneurysm. And the icing on the cake - at the time of our first visit, we signed up for the home warranty in order to take advantage of a promotion where if we signed up we would get 50% off the repair. Who wouldn't want 50% off right? Biggest mistake we made! Now we're stuck with this warranty for a year. I tried to cancel and will be responsible for a $150 cancellation fee. After calling and being transferred 3 times to only have to go through the whole horrendous experience, I have no choice to have accepted yet another appointment. They have us over a barrel. At this point I have zero confidence or trust that this whole issue will be resolved. Will have to see if they show up Saturday, but not holding my breath. Terrible, terrible customer service.

    3/30/2019: My 7 year old Kenmore water softener has a leak in the brine tank. After reading the warranty which states after the first year I am required to pay a trip charge, (but doesn't say anything about labor) I assumed the trip charge is all I would have to pay. On 3/20/2019 a Sears tech was out & said I "would" have to pay for labor too. I asked him to show me where it says that in the warranty, but he could not. He was only going by what his tablet was telling him. I said fine, just ship me the replacement tank & I will install it myself.

    I was a service technician for Hobart & a restaurant chain for 34 years so I could do this with no problem. He said he ordered the new brine tank & I should be receiving it in 5 business days. I never received the tank so I spent a lot of time on the phone with numerous people today. They said the tech didn't order a new tank & that I could not install it myself. I had to pay Sears to install it... Is it any wonder why Sears (who at one time was the world's largest retailer) is going under? This is horrible customer service. I took the word of the tech that I would be getting the tank, but Sears will not honor the warranty as written. 3/31/2019: This morning I received an e-mail from Sears. They will be happy to sell me the tank, (which is supposed to be under warranty) for $167.55 plus tax & shipping.

Scheduled another appt., took another afternoon off work...only to have the time moved to evening & that it was the same tech. Called to ask why... Apologies galore, no answer. Talked to Supervisor who hung up on me. Called back, escalated to Supervisor who promised someone would come tonight... Would try to find someone different.

    Email 2 hours later appt. moved to Monday. Called back, asked for supervisor... Was told I refused that tech...and apologies but no one else available. Stressed I did not refuse that tech, asked for anyone to come... Told, "Too bad, sorry you are frustrated... Good news, appt. Mon." It went on from here. Ultimately my only option was to schedule a Sat. appt next weekend. I was refused any other options and told there was no one else I could speak with.

    1 month ago, I called Sears about our range to/stove smelling as though plastic was burning, the next day, the oven stopped heating. After a half of an hour of the call person taking me through various steps to diagnose the problem, they decided to send a technician. 1 week later, the repairman diagnosed the oven, and he found 1. The bottom plate that covered the element in the oven was bowed, 2. the element itself was bowed, 3. several electrical wires/connections were burned up on the back of the control panel. He told the lady at Sears that he had to order parts from, that he saw no reason why this should have happened. He seemed to think we would get a replacement oven, however, the service center decided to repair.

    The oven is 7 years old, and this is the second repair. I was not told how many parts should arrive before repairs could happen, nor was I told that I was to call them when the last part arrived. Service was scheduled for a week later. When I called that morning, the call person told me I had not notified them if all the parts were in, therefore she removed us from the technician's list for that day. I told get 5 boxes were sitting in my small kitchen, were those all of the parts, she said no, I had taken off from work. Service was scheduled for Saturday. Friday one more huge box arrived, and this was apparently the last of the parts. Who knows? Because that arrived Friday evening, someone took it upon themselves, and we never called so we don't know who, but we received an email that our appointment was changed again, to, the following Tuesday, April 26.

    Another day off from work, the repairman never showed, but he called at 5 pm to say he had two others in front of us and could not make it this day. My husband answered the phone and told him that was unacceptable. He also spoke with a supervisor. We were told he would show today, April 28, and we received email confirmation of that. When I called at 1030, I received a recording saying the store was closed, to call back later, and the email that normally allows you to chat or check on "real time" of the service visit, said I had been disconnected from the agent.

    I just called the 866 number, again, and got sometimes this time, but she said that once again, or records show that we had not yet received the parts for repair. She said she understood I was upset but all she's could do was reschedule for tomorrow. Meanwhile we have a family, two children, a birthday that had come and gone where we had to bake the cake at our church, and 6 huge boxes with the parts during in our tiny kitchen. And I have missed 4 days off work for this. This is maddening, and our oven is still not fixed... And when it's fixed with so many parts replaced, will it be a good hazard/circuits burn up again??? My husband is trying to contact management, now, but so far, we've had no satisfaction.

    In September of 2018 I needed to have an ice maker repaired. I telephoned Sears repair to see if this was something they could do. I proceeded to have an online chat at this time. (Of which I have a printed copy). I was informed that if I took out a Sears Home Warranty for $50 per month, they would repair my ice maker for the price of the service call AND in one month they would service my Viking oven as the door did not fully close. I was very specific in this conversation with regard to the brand of oven and the difficulty I was experiencing. The salesman assured me they would cover it in one month. My ice maker was promptly repaired.

    At the end of one month I called about my oven door. I was specific about what the issue was. Sears scheduled a repair person. When he arrived, he told me that Sears does not service Viking, but that under my warranty, they would find a company who could fix it for me. It is a long saga, but Sears uses Cross Country to administer the warranty. In short, this was a nightmare experience which borders on fraud and is far from any standard of customer service. I was ultimately told to find my own repair person and to call an authorization phone number when the repair person had assessed my oven. We did this and after 20 minutes of hold time, we were placed back on hold. (Total hold time - 1 hour)

    It is far from realistic to expect a repair person to stand by idly waiting for "authorization". I asked the repair person to proceed with the repair using new parts which he did for a total of $1199. I subsequently provided the invoice and proof of payment to an email address that I was given by Cross County. My claim was denied. I was also told that I cannot terminate the home warranty without paying a penalty AND having to pay for the original ice maker repair. I would not advise ANYONE to get a Sear's Home Warranty or to deal with Cross Country.

    We have a Sears washing machine that is still under warranty. It broke down and Sears did schedule a repair person (via Olson Heating) to come out, 5 days later. The Olson person was prompt and polite and told us we need a new washing machine as 10 different parts were broken, none due to misuse. Sears response was to order the parts and have them repair the machine. All the parts are on backorder and will not be in for 2 weeks. And then, once the parts arrive, they are telling us to schedule the repairs--again, having to wait however many days for the appointment to be scheduled to maybe fix the machine. No guarantee this will work. This whole thing will cost much more than the washing machine did. Talking with Sears has been unhelpful and their customer service is awful. No wonder they are going out of business. Never again! They have lost a life long customer.

We were told they had not looked at it yet and could not tell us at that time what was wrong. We called mid March to find out what was wrong with it and if they had an estimate yet. At that time the employee who answered continuously talked over me and then told me I had to call back when the manager was there. Went in and spoke to the store manager and was told the automotive department was not under him and he was unable to do anything. Was given a number to customer service, they told me to talk to the manager at the automotive department.

    3/25 At this time still no response and nothing even done to the mower. Called customer service. Was told this was a nonfixable item and that was what they were trying to tell us. My question is why this was not told to us when we dropped it off, why take it in the first place. If no one looked at it how do they know it is nonfixable. And why keep jerking us around.

He got varying answers. I had three repair dates altogether, which included one guy saying this was a brand new account so he was going to charge me another diagnosis fee. I finally got the dishwasher fixed, with no additional charges.

My simple question was “did you not send an expert the first time? Why would I pay half for them to come and finish the job.” She said that was their process but that she would give me an address I can mail a suggestion to and there was no need to connect me to her supervisor.

Tech came, recommended a repair (part that never arrived so 4 weeks later we had to call and find out WTF happened with the Part). Tech had pushed the home warranty and also recommended a part that would fix the refrigerator issue. Long story short - 2 months later, 5 techs and about $500 down the tube, our refrigerator still is not working. We have called the absolutely/worse customer service (Sears), technicians and warranty departments multiple times. The right foot doesn’t know what the left is doing.

    BTW- The last tech who came out said our refrigerator had a known issue and he recommended replacement. Sears, of course, said not gonna do it. They instead said they would send out ANOTHER tech - which would make tech number 6. We said NO. They also said they would credit us $100 - after the first botched repair - and that never happened. Sears just needs to continue the bankruptcy they started. This is one useless company. I was a pretty dedicated Sears appliance purchaser - never again...

Got the form letter today saying that they were returning everything except for my deposit plus more to cover their expenses. There were no materials bought. Fortunately my deposit in on a credit card so I can dispute that - not sure about the financing, which they have apparently already charged.

These guys are dishonest & greedy with tricky contracts.

    Thanks for your vote!
