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

    I placed a claim for my central AC, a technician came and diagnosed the problem. Three weeks later I am told Sears is ordering the part needed to fix the problem and it still has not been ordered yet. I don't understand what is taking so long to order a part.

    I've been waiting 2 days to get a call back from a supervisor in regards to a claim problem that is their error! Customer service reps refuse to put one on the phone. I have called multiple times. The companies they contract to do the work do not show up. It takes 2 weeks to get them to call. I have been given 2 companies that took 2 weeks to call me back only to tell me they do not want to do any more work for Sears because Sears has not paid them for their work!! Terrible. The companies they hire are not professional and do not want to work! Worst home warranty plan ever!!

    First service call we scheduled the Sears service person to come out and I was told there would be no charge until he looked at the Washer first to see if it was the same issue as we had from the recall on the Kenmore front load defective circuit board in 2015 ( our machine is 8 years old now ). Second time with the same problem. When the serviceman called to confirm his appt. he said it would be $100 for his call and $500 to replace the circuit board =$600 so we cancelled the call.

    By the 5th phone call to Sears and speaking to their manager (FYI-all service calls are done outside of the United States) I was told I could purchase a service agreement for $299.99 for one year that will cover my service call and repair up to $500. Isn't that convenient for them. It is just madness dealing with these people, fortunately I kept calm, better for my health this way, but very frustrating. I am appalled that I have to pay twice for the same issue and have no choice but to purchase the service agreement for $299.99 again a second time. One thing for sure I will NEVER purchase another item from Sears again and you should not either, their products are defective and continue to cost you more money.

    Three years ago, I received a notification that the 30 gallon air compressor had a recall because the compressors were catching on fire. I contacted the phone number on the recall notice, gave them the serial number of my compressor, and was told that a new shroud for the compressor would be shipped to me. After a month, the part hadn't arrived, so I contacted the recall number again. Same results - TWICE more. So I contacted Sears, and after being put on hold several times and having my call dropped twice, I was assured that someone would contact me to resolve the issue. I waited a week, and no one contacted me, so I contacted Sears on their Facebook page. This was their response: "We're disappointed to hear this, Scooter. Please send us a private message with your full name, phone number and mailing address so we can look into your issue further. Thank you."

    I gave them the information that they requested and was given a number to call. I called that number, and once again waited on hold, for an unreasonable amount of time before finally speaking with someone who told me that the recall number that I was calling was no longer valid. This was after spending several months attempting to get a RECALL part that causing their product to catch on fire! Then I was told that they would not send me the part, and that I would have to load up the compressor and wait for them to order the part and replace it for me, and then I'd have to drive 30 miles back to Sears after waiting who knows how long and load the compressor back up and take it home.

    I was, and still am furious! I talked to a friend who said that he also had one of their compressors that was under recall for the shroud that causes fires, and he said that he just removed the shroud... So that's what I did also. I never did get a satisfactory resolution from Sears. But I did waste a lot of my time trying. Then, a couple weeks ago, the plastic handle on my Kenmore Elite dryer broke. I called Sears Parts Direct and ordered a new one online. $30.00 for a piece of injection-molded plastic, and $20.00 for expedited shipping. Several days AFTER placing the order, I received an email from Sears Parts Direct that said; "Due to a change in the product availability, the item(s) for order W590624 is(are) temporarily delayed. As soon as we have the estimated ship date, we’ll provide it to you. You can track your order at any time online here. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."

    ...So now I wasted money on expedited shipping, and have NO IDEA when, if ever, the part will be available. I should have been notified at the time of purchase that the part was back-ordered. Not several days after purchasing it, and paying for expedited shipping. I've been checking the order for three days now, and still no estimate of when it will be available. Once again; I'm furious with Sears, and will never purchase anything from them EVER again!

    We loved our Kenmore bottom freezer refrigerator model 795.7305 for the first year. I think it's made by LG. Soon after the basic 12 month warranty expired, the ice maker started failing. We got the extended service plan. After 18 months in addition to the ice maker still not working, the freezer has failed. Techs came out a few times and tried to repair it. Now I can't even get Sears to return a call. It's unfortunate, but I likely won't buy Kenmore again.

    Kenmore Elite Refridgerator quit on Saturday - again. Called for service and the soonest they could come was today. The tech called before he got here and told me what was wrong with it. The compressors in the fridges are going bad. Ours would be 2 years old this October and this is the second time we have had to have service in 19 months. Does Sears have these replacement parts in stock knowing that there is a big need for them?? No, that would make too much sense. He has to order the part and the earliest he can put it on is June 11th. So it takes longer than 2 weeks to get your fridge fixed when you get one from Sears. For me - I am done with Sears. Their customer service is absolutely horrible. We paid $2,300 for this fridge and now I have to put another $331 into it. Poor service, poor product.

    I owned a refrigerator that stopped cooling my food products, so I used Sears' refrigeration repair services. They usually charge around $100 for a diagnostic and then if you want to fix it, they charge another amount for parts and labor. They stated they fixed my refrigerator, but did not. My food spoiled, and I had some minor stomachaches from yogurt that was not cooled at the proper temperature. If they returned my $292 back, I would not have an issue, but I still have not received my money, despite a different person telling me that I am getting refunded every time I call. This is the most unprofessional and immoral company I have every contracted. Please think twice before using Sears.

    I purchased a GE microwave online to pick up at a store in Cumberland Mall. I went to pick up the microwave at the store and was told they did not have any in stock. The online version was showing a total of 9 available units for sale. The salesperson at the store agreed but stated it was an error they have been having. The salesperson at the store kept attempting to sell me a different model. I told them I did not want a different model, I wanted a refund. It took them 3 days to cancel the order and now they are saying it will be another 7 business days before I receive a refund. Sears sold me a product they didn't have and then held my money for 2 weeks. FRAUD!!!

    Called and scheduled a tech to come out to repair washer. Tech was scheduled within a few days. When he arrived he said he could not complete the repair because he didn't have the parts needed. He explained he would order the parts and would come back as soon as they arrived. He also said it would only take a few days to get the parts. He asked that we pay 1/2 the cost of the repair, which I paid.

    The parts arrived in about 3-4 days. We called him multiple times at the number he provided (his cell number) and he never answered or called back so we called the Sears 800 number. The lady kept insisting we did not have the parts yet. I kept telling her that I did have the parts that had been ordered. She refused to schedule the service until the following week because she said she needed to allow time for the parts to arrive - SHE WOULD NOT listen or cared what I was telling her. She told me the service was scheduled for Tuesday, 5/29 but when we called on 5/29 we were told the service was scheduled for 5/28 and that we had been called. NO ONE called or came by on 5/28 - we were here ALL day. Now it will be 6/10 before anyone can come out and I'm without a washer (since 5/14).

    We were finally able to speak with the tech last night and he promised he would get our service routed for today. Did not hear back from him today, did not answer his phone and there's no record of his request in the system (what we were told). NOT ACCEPTABLE. I have canceled the service, will return the parts and expect a FULL refund. NOT our fault they did not do the repair as promised. I will NEVER recommend or use Sears again! This is first time I've received this kind of treatment and NO CUSTOMER service. No one that we spoke with CARED about the customer and they either don't understand English or DON'T care to provide the service that is promised. AWFUL!!!

    The mattress literally has indents of where my husband and I sleep. My husband and I are very average size people. The mattress is 7 years old but the indents happened about three years ago. When I make the bed you can actually see the space where we sleep. (Not great for my back or hips either.) Sears does not send reps anymore so I had to take such specific photographs that it's laughable at angle and rules they want in order to move forward. Months went back and forth because my pictures weren’t good enough. I just gave up. Which is probably exactly what they wanted me to do.

    I ordered a washer and dryer at a Sears location with a salesperson who placed the order online. I waited a month for the order to be delivered. When it arrived, it did not come properly set up, as I ordered it. So the it could not be installed. The delivery men (who I was assured in advance were not just delivery people, but were installations experts) then chastised me for not ordering the correct parts for my products. They took the items back to the warehouse. Now no one will give me a refund. I have called 3 different numbers and made 13 phone calls and literally hours on the phone. I am being treated as if I am the causing the problem.

    Each time I ask for a refund for the appliances that I never received, I keep being told that I just have to reorder. Why would re-order a product that could not be installed. Some of the ridiculous excuses I received included that even though customer service told me they could see my order and what it was, if I could not give them the exact item number, I would have to go into the store, get the item number and call back to wait on hold again and speak with customer service in order to get a refund. I just want a refund. NEVER again will shop at Sears!

    Subscribed to home warranty and was promised the world. Three months into it my home AC unit goes out. I follow the instructions and they say a tech will be sent. I call back three days later, they give me a phone number. I call the AC company, they don't even know they are affiliated with Sears. They come out, Sears refuses to authorize them to check the freon levels. I pay them for the service call, then call my own AC company to come out and fix a bad valve stem in the freon charge line with freon $300. Just cancel your policy, it's a scam, they decline everything except taking your payment.

    Bought a unit (Kenmore AC) from Sears with extended warranty and home services. The unit is not blowing cold air. A tech came by. Took the capacitor and it going to be almost 1 year and the unit is still sitting. Not working. Every time I call sears they want me to buy more coverage for the unit. The unit was under warranty when they were fixing it, they waited until the warranty expire and now they don't want to fix it. I don't have the original part because they took it so I can't even try to locate the part myself. So unfair to the working class who supported them.

    I called Sears to repair my garage door opener and they told me to get the Sears Home Warranty for home package. The representative gave me false information that I could get out of the warranty anytime I want only to find out that I was stuck on for a year. The person who came to service my garage door opener was unprofessional. After servicing the opener, he forgot to check the button at my door. As he left my building I tried calling him back but no response. I called Sears to ask him to come back, and it took days before they sent someone. I had to use my remote to operate the door.

    I also called Sears to come and service my oven range, washer & dryer, and icemaker from my fridge. They sent someone last December, and the person confirmed that touchpad on my range had to be replaced, some parts needed to be replaced for my dryer, so he wrote up the orders to get the parts. SIX MONTHS later, I have not heard from Sears. I called several times, switching me to different departments. Until the last person I called, said that the parts to order for my dryer is under investigation because they don't understand why it costs them money. It should not have been more than the price of a new dryer. But because it is taking them so many months to figure out why they need to order repair parts, my appliances are in limbo. It would basically be easier and cheaper for me to go repair them myself. STAY AWAY FROM SEARS!!!

    We purchase a home warranty and was promised to have a professional make emergency calls but also preventive maintenance on the HVAC. We called and filed a claim to have preventive maintenance on the AC. We did not hear from any professional nor from Sears. We called again and followed up as to why. We were told that Sears would give to dispatch. 10 days went by, no phone call or follow up by Sears to give us an idea what's happening. Again, no professional called us. The phone number that was given to us to contact locally was not a business but a residence.

    We called again to see how dispatch was doing with our claim. Again, told that they had not found anyone and again Sears did not call me to tell me that. I asked that they expedite it faster. I called 3 days later and was told it was still in the hands of dispatch and could not find a professional to do this work. We were promised that Sears would provide a professional in a timely manner to do our preventive maintenance and emergency calls. But they have failed to do so. We have not placed a claim with Sears home warranty as we had no emergencies. How rude that they do not follow up with me about what they could not do. We want to have the full refund of the contract but Sears cannot be trusted to meet our needs or fulfill our claims.

    Contacted Sears Solution on 5/14/2018 regarding parts ordered by a Sears Technician on 5/1/2018 for my outdoor grill. The technician stated I should be receiving my parts in about one week. Person claiming to be a Case Solution Manager located in the Philippines, stated that the parts are on back order and has no idea when they will become available. Mind you, I never received an email or phone call regarding back ordered parts. The Case Solution Manager also stated if my parts are not received within 21 days, Sears will offer a voucher for a new grill since it is still under manufacturer's warranty. He said rest assure everything will be taken care off. So I called back on 5/21/2018 since it has been 21 days. I spoke to a different case manager located in the Philippines who told me to call back on 5/22/2018 to speak to a supervisor.

    Okay, so I then call back on 5/22/2018 and spoke to a third case manager located in the Philippines who stated that I was misinformed and has to wait 30 days instead of 21 days. At which point I asked to speak to a supervisor. The case manager took my phone number and stated that a supervisor will be calling me back within 2 hours. Well that 2 hours never came. I called Sears back again and explained that I was expecting a supervisor to call me. She stated that, "We are all case managers here and there are no supervisors." So actually I don’t know which case manager told me the correct information. It seem to me that they all lack knowledge of their Warranty process.

    I am so disappointed in Sears Services. Bottom line is I don’t care for a new grill, I am fine with the parts. But the handling of the entire process was very, very poor on Sears' part. I will be canceling my Home Warranty Protection plan with Sears. And furthermore I will not be purchasing any products from Sears again. BUYERS BEWARE!!!

    My fridge was working perfectly well. I called Sears to change the filter. I paid for the service and the filter. The Sears rep came and changed the filter. About two hours after he left, I noticed water on my kitchen floor. It was the freezer thawing. Both fridge and freezer have stopped working. Now Sears is telling me that I have to pay for diagnosis. In fact the fridge has never broken down since we had it. Why should I pay for diagnosis when the freezer was working fine before the Sears rep came. Sears repairs is a big scam.

    UPDATE ON 05/23/2018: The technician could attest that the freezer was working perfectly well because he emptied the ice box in the freezer which was full of ice. After he left, I noticed water leaking from the freezer. It was coming from the ice dispenser and then the fridge and freezer progressively got warm. I had to throw away all my food in fridge and freezer. This fridge has never broken down before. I have always trusted Sears appliances. I just got a washer and dryer from them about a month ago.

    I called Sears repairs to report the issue. The rep. told me that I have to pay a diagnosis fee for a technician to come out again and that they have scheduled one for June. Mind you... in June?? I tried to explain that my fridge was working perfectly fine before the technician came but the rep was not listening to me. She was reading from a script. I have called several times to explain and you could tell that they are all reading for scripts and not answering your questions.

    Sears resolution team sent me an email after I posted my first posting on this website and gave me a number to call. The email for Sears was a generic email. I called the number and the rep told me that I am still scheduled for June but if they have any openings they would call me.

    I am still in a state of shock. Because I feel like I used my money to pay for this mess by an incompetent Sears technician. This is completely unacceptable and a shame on Sears. Their response to this is so wrong and unethical. This is an example of a big corporation like Sears taking advantage of a small helpless customer. I could not help but think the technical tinkered with the fridge so that I can buy a new one which is more business for Sears. I will take this issue up with Sears to the highest level because it is a rip off a customer who has trusted sears over the years.

    Sears warranty company is a joke! DO NOT purchase from them, it's a rip off! BUYER BEWARE!!! February of 2017 we purchased a Samsung washer and dryer from Sears. About a month and a half ago (March 2018) the washer started acting strange. It wouldn't spin after draining. If you restart the drain and spin it would fill back up, maybe drain and maybe spin. Usually we could get it to work after doing this a few times. We call Sears and they offer their extended warranty. This was our only option according to their highly trained SALES guy.

    He said we were outside the 1 year warranty from Samsung. He failed to mention that the 1 year was just the parts and labor warranty which covers more like outside damage, lid, electronic panel etc. So our ONLY option is to purchase their extended warranty BUT it would cover every appliance in our house even if the appliance wasn't purchased through Sears. $50 a month and you only have to pay a deductible if something were to break. Great! We sign up.

    They then say it will take 10 days to get a repairman to come out. In the meantime we unplug it and see if it would reset. It starts working again so we cancel the appointment. 3 and a half weeks ago it starts again but this time it's worse. It won't even wash. Call Sears... And again 10 days for someone to come out. Of course that's not going to work with 6 people living here which we explained and they gave us one of their local repair shops info.

    Called the local repair and they had a guy out in a few days. One of the inside components is broken and has to be ordered from Sears. Sears said it would take 5 business days pass, no part. Called Sears warranty and it hadn't even been put in their system to order. It finally came in on Friday, 8 business days after it was initially ordered from our local shop. The repair guy came this morning. Opened the box and the part is broken. It's going to be another 7 to 10 business days for the new part to come in and the local repair shop said they are really surprised that Sears even sent a new part that they usually send a remanufactured or off brand part.

    The bigger issue is paying $50 a month for their services and not receiving good if any service at all. Once this is cleared up we will cancel their warranty and NEVER purchase another thing not even a sock from Sears!??? I also called Samsung this morning to inquire about their warranty and there is a 3 year warranty on stainless part 2 whatever that is, and a 10 year on the motor and major internal components. I feel Sears not only misrepresented their service but they misrepresented Samsung as well.

    Our washing machine broke down and it took more than two weeks to have it fixed. The dryer broke down shortly thereafter and they were unable to fix in a reasonable amount of time so we purchased a new dryer with our own money. Our refrigerator stopped working a few months after that and they could not fix it because the serial number was not legible and could not order parts and they wasted time setting appointments with technicians who supposedly could fix it but at the end of the day were unable to. Sears would also not replace the fridge because the problem was due to the serial number issue. In all of this, I spent countless hours on the phone and mostly waiting and on hold. I strongly suggest you do not waste your time and money in a Sears Home Warranty.

    I called Sears parts department to order a battery for my lawn mower on May 15th or 16th, was that the battery would arrive on May 19th, which it did. I put the battery in my lawn mower only to find it dry, I filled it with distilled water, and then charged it all day. When I tried to start the mower, it wouldn't start. At this point in time I found the battery to be without acid in it. I called the parts department again, I don't remember the name of the person that I spoke with, only to find out that I had been sold the wrong part. He explained that he would send a new battery to your service center 18 miles from my house. When I asked if there was another way, he offered to charge me for the second battery, to which would be attached another shipping fee. I agreed since this was the easiest way to replace the battery that was wrong in the first place.

    I asked why I couldn't pay for the difference, he said that he had to charge me for the new battery, but that I would receive a refund for the original amount, when I returned the original, non-working battery by UPS. He offered to send a return label by mail or email, since I was told that a refund could not be issued until the original battery was received by Sears, I chose to have a label emailed, since it would take 5 to 7 days to receive a label by mail. This is not my first bad experience with this, I have ordered blades for my lawn mower that are supposed to be pre-sharpened and they always send the blades unsharpened. This is my 3rd bad experience in less than a year. It is no wonder that Sears is closing stores. I don't have a receipt, due to the fact, the original and the second battery were purchased by a phone call and paid by debit card.

    Customer Service at a corporate level is a joke with this company. Apparently they don't really want my business. No worries there, I will not ever spend money at this company again. I've spent weeks contacting them to get the issue resolved to be told, "Sorry we can't help you." No wonder the company is failing.

    The AC has been out in my home for over three weeks, and the repair company (Freeman Heat & Air Duct Cleaning) they sent to repair it came out on 5/7 to “fix it.” AC went out right after they left that day. I called to get them back out, and had to wait a week for them to come out again. They came back on 5/14 and the same thing happened as it did the week before! I called back the same day, and Sears issued a recall claim. I also called the folks at Freeman, and they won’t answer the phone or return my calls! I called Sears again on Wednesday, 5/16 and Friday, 5/18 to escalate to a manager, and they gave me a BS story about placing me in a “queue” for a callback from a manager. And guess what? No one has called me back from Sears, nor from Freeman.

    Meanwhile, the temperature in my home is at least 86 degrees each day when my son and I get in for the day. I also pay for an additional policy to cover the condo I own. I regret ever signing up for their services. This has been one of the worst customer service experiences I’ve ever had. I will most definitely start looking for another warranty company for both my homes if Sears does not make this right soon.

    Went to Sears in Omaha NE at Oakview Mall. I went with my mother and kids just to get shoes. We got them fast since doors shut "right at 8 pm." At the time I was paying didn't know the manager shut the gates with no heart seeing us pay. I told the cashier she shouldn't treat customers that way so the cashier said, "Go upstairs by tools and get out that way. Gates should be open since I had parked by JCP." The "manager" Lorine or Elane said, "Go to the side door." We both rebuttal and I told her I will put a complaint to her CEO. She laugh and said, "How?" If I didn't get out she was going to call 911.

    I told her I was going to call the news. She laughed and walk away so a co worker of hers Brain got close and ask what happen. I explain to him she saw us paying why she shut the gates. She was, "Well we close at 8pm." Shut me down. I told him I will put a complain and said, "Knock yourself out," with no care in the world. I felt discriminated. I am angry and upset because people shouldn't be treated that way in no shape or form. I left because I had no choice.

    It is with great disappointment that I wrote this review. I signed up for Sears Home Warranty on 5/13/18 because I needed repairs on my refrigerator. A service call appointment was made on 5/14/18 between the hours of 1pm- 5pm. I had my mother stayed home to allow the technician access to the house since I would be at work. The technician came and I was able to speak to him on the phone about what needed to be done. The refrigerator water dispenser was not working and the bucket ice dispenser. The technician told me he could not fix the bucket because according to the contract, the contract only covers areas that are considered "functional" and he was not going to fix it.

    On the phone, I insisted that the bucket that was not dispensing ice needed to be fixed in addition to the water dispenser. To my amazement, he started cursing on the phone, gave the phone back to my mother and left the house. I got home thinking the problem was fixed. I called to inquire why the repairs were not done. Again, another surprise, the customer service that I called to inquire told me that the technician report he could not fix the refrigerator because there was no serial and model number. I asked to speak to the supervisor at around 8:49 or thereabouts, he was not listening to what I had to say, he kept saying there was nothing he could so since the technician reported there was no serial and model number.

    Well, I have both the serial and model number: 012MRCJ07147. Model # 795.51319.012. I requested to my money refund my account fully for default. Again, Sears amazed me. They not only charge me for the initial fee but also for canceling the warranty. Please, people should not sign up for no warranty with sears, they are fraudulent. I wrote a complaint and till date no response.

    Almost a year ago, we had a guy come out for air conditioning issues. This AC was bought from and INSTALLED by Sears. The guy saw our remodeling work and new appliances and suggested a "total home warranty" through Sears. In good faith we purchased it for monthly installments through my Sears credit. We've had this kind of "repair warranty" service though Sears before and it came in handy so why not again. Now yesterday I called for the AC/Central Air. KID YOU NOT... In the course of the "service rep" explaining the process... She said, "a service rep will come out, assess your problem and submit a claim to the claims department, whose job it is to DENY your claim..." Freudian SLIP MUCH? You can tell she caught herself because she hesitantly and slowly followed through with... "Ooor approve it." She goes on to say then they have to go through and find the parts and blah blah blah.

    It used to be, you call Sears, they send some guys out, they diagnose, fix the problem, it's either covered under warranty or you pay them and the work is guaranteed for X amount of days/months... The service rep frustrated me. I know customer service and in instances where one would expect her to be accommodating, all I kept hearing was "no, no, no, no..." I'm like, "All I want to hear is, Yes, we can send someone out, Yes he can fix the problem, Yes it will be covered under your warranty... Can you do that?"

    The Service Rep goes, "No I'm trying to explain it to you so that you understand, we don't know if you live in a rural area, we don't know if we'll have the parts you need, we don't know if your claim will be approved..." I'm like, "So should I just call out a repair guy, have him fix the issue and then get reimbursed through the warranty?" Service Rep, "NO, if you go out on your own we will NOT reimburse you, if you stick with us we CANNOT guarantee, when or if your claim will even be approved..." I gave up. Concluded the call.

    Had my Mom call back, because maybe it's me. Maybe I'm being impatient. All I heard was: "This will be a long convoluted process that may take days or even weeks to even process, because we have all kinds of RED tape set up to prolong this process, and once our claims department gets around to the process, their first priority is to find the loophole that will allow them to DENY your claim, which will likely be a long process. And if they don't deny the claim, we are going to pretend that we can't find the parts, to the KENMORE appliance that you bought from us and WE installed. Meanwhile we will continue to collect from you 69.99 a month. OH and btw, there will be a $100 deductible in order for us to start the convoluted circle the drain process."

    My mom called, they were also trying to be DISCOURAGING to her! But she's a lot more wise to game than me. So she placated them with patience. Got a number to a place called NPM from the Service Rep to come out and assess their system. NPM called back the next day and said they couldn't get to us for 2 weeks and suggested calling Sears back, because they should recommend someone who can come sooner. BAck on the phone with Sears, now the Service Rep can't even find our policy number, so we gave her the CONTRACT NUMBER. Got the info of ANOTHER repair co. Who haven't called us back. I will regularly update through this process. I'm can afford a repairman. But here I am trying to utilize a warranty that I've been paying for that, get this, expires in July 2018. Given the other stories, I have confirmation that Sears is full of it and I will NOT recommend them and will warn EVERYBODY I know against them.

    Six weeks ago my freezer went out on my French door refrigerator (not purchased from Sears). It was still under warranty, but Samsung didn't have a tech in my town.

At 3:30 pm the following day, they called to say the tech was sick and rescheduled for a week later. The tech arrives on schedule, performs a diagnostic test and tells me all the parts will be covered under warranty but he doesn't have them on his truck.

    I paid him for doing the diagnostic and he tells me it will be approximately another $258.00 labor charges when he fixes it. Samsung shipped the parts to my house free of charge, but the tech was "too busy" to do the work for another 2 weeks. When he finally shows up to" fix" it, he charges me $503.00 and tells me not to put food in it for 24 hrs??? It never even got cold.

    They have no problems taking your money... that process works great. First claim, sent contractor... contractor gave them an assessment, they denied the cost and made me find someone else after lying to me that they were just "looking for a part." I found out from the contractor that they denied him doing the work even though I paid my deductible to him. So then Sears lied to me saying they were having a new contractor come out... no one showed up. I call that contractor, they laughed and said no one scheduled them and they were over 50 miles away.

    So at this point I would have to keep finding contractors myself and hoping their cost would be approved by Sears... After 5 weeks without heat and air I cancelled Sears (they are sending me a bill, lol) and I got the problem fixed myself. DO NOT GET THIS HOME WARRANTY... THEY WILL JACK YOU AROUND SO THAT it is so difficult to get anything done so as to dissuade you from wanting make claims.

Transmission was locked up. The service department said I had to pay more money for this repair. I had already paid $75.00 to get to the transmission. Several parts must be broken to get the transmission out.

    Sears deceptively tried to charge me for parts that were not even broke but must be removed to access the transmission. Then when I confronted the hostile service department they did not want to bear the cost and said they would replace the whole machine. Next problem is that it took four (4) weeks to deliver a machine to my house. I do not want this kind of service EVER AGAIN. Tried to cancel and they would not cancel and required me to continue paying them for the next YEAR. Rudely they reminded me that THEY just gave me a New machine. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM SEARS.

Didn't receive lamp on 4/12 so called service to check where lamp was and was informed that lamp was out of stock and wouldn't know when it would be back in stock. Finally they found another supplier who has lamp and I should receive lamp on 4/19 and my new service appointment would be on 4/24 and a technician would be at home between 8am-5pm. Tech comes out replaces lamp and he is having the same issue with the TV not coming on.

    He has to call supervisor of this issue and comes to find out it's not the lamp but it's a bad switch and they have to order it, which technician ordered 2 new ones. I received call from repairs on 4/28 and they scheduled me for service on 4/30. Technician comes and replaces switch and TV still not working and that he needs to have another tech to come out to see if they could replace 2nd switch as he couldn't get to where it was located and technician didn't want to damage TV. My new appointment for this new tech to come out would be 5/2.

    On 5/1 getting numerous calls from repair that I needed to reschedule my appointment as parts had to be ordered which I informed them there's no need for parts to be ordered. Only waiting for another technician to come out to insert the 2nd switch. I called technician to find out what was going on. He said he would call his routing supervisor to find out because he didn't order any parts, few minutes later technician calls and informs me that he would still be out with another technician on 5/2. Later received call from repairs letting me know he couldn't come out as original tech had switch with him but he would be out on 5/3.

    On 5/3 getting numerous calls from repair stating I needed to call to reschedule my appointment, at this point I'm so frustrated with getting a run around with repairs telling me that there was no available tech or more parts have to be ordered. I call and ask to speak with a supervisor and that I wanted to cancel my service agreements and that I wanted a refund back since I paid for an extended warranty till 2019 and that all this trouble having my TV fixed. She said she was sorry for all the trouble that I was having and she talked me into giving them another chance. She informed me of my new service appointment would be on 5/11.

    In February 2013 I purchased a complete heat pump system from Sears Kenmore brand (not a real manufacturer; just a brand name) which was the FVM4X “B” Series. Since then, I have had three leaks - two relating to the condensation drain pipe and one relating to the cooling coils. The handler's fan also burned out and the primary circuit board also shorted out and needed to be replaced. The two condensation leaks caused water damage inside my home that I had to get repaired, costing me close to a thousand dollars (because of the insurance deductible).

    In addition, the Sears service technicians are hit and miss as to their expertise. For example, one technician was convinced that the coolant pipe leak was occurring in the copper pipe that runs between the handler and the heat pump, not in the air handler's coils. The copper pipes, of course, would not be covered by Sears warranty. Fortunately I contacted another repair service that stated the leak likely was not coming from the copper pipes but that I should insist Sears run a second compression test. When another Sears technician came out he ran that test and identified the leak - in the air handler's coil unit - and replaced it. I am currently seeing if Sears will reimburse me for my repair expenses and/or would be willing to replace this unit with another unit. Even though it is not new, it is also not that old and the issues described above occurred within 3 years of installation.

At that point it had not leaked over the pan, but it was clearly an emergency. I called Sears and was told that their plumber would call me within 24 hours. Two days later, I had received no call from a plumber. Three days later I was screaming at the person on the phone saying this is an emergency, I am about to have water leaking through the ceiling.

    The woman finally said I could hire a plumber and get reimbursed. So I did hire one of the few plumbers in our town. The repair was made after he spent over an hour on the phone trying to get authorization. He told me never to call him again if I was going to use that warranty. Bottom line, it took over two months to get any money out of "Sears". Sears subs the whole thing out and in the end, I was shortchanged $242 of the total amount due to me after the deductible.

    My microwave stopped heating, so I contacted Sears and ended up buying a one-year warranty plan for all my appliances (about $800).

On the second visit, Sears called the day of the appointment and said "we can't make it," so I missed more work. On the 3rd visit, 2 guys spent about 4 hours disassembling my microwave and putting it back together... but couldn't fix it. Need more parts. Another day of work.

    On the 4th visit, they got it working... for the most part. Sometimes it will run but it won't heat. Furthermore, I cannot open or close the cabinet below the microwave because a piece of molding (that surrounds the microwave) is hanging a fraction of an inch too low. We didn't notice this when the "mechanic" was here. Ironically, I recently told a friend this story. At the mention of Sears Home Warranty (before I even started telling the story), she started laughing and said, "I know where this is going." Turns out, she had a worthless home warranty plan like me that not only cost too much money but also required missed hours at work.

    Called Sears Home Services after my mother's 2 yr. old Kenmore dryer started making a clunking sound. Was told I'd have to wait a week so I called the vendor I bought an entire kitchen full of appliances from last year to ask who they used, and made an appointment with that company for 3 days out. Then I called Sears back and told them to cancel the original appointment. The lady on the phone immediately offered me a "special" deal that would have the repair tech sent to my mother's house the very next day, and she sent me an email with a coupon good for 25% off whatever the total bill would end up being. I accepted but did not cancel the appointment with the rival repair company just in case. That company offered no discounts but did say the call-out charge of $89 (same as Sears) would be applied toward whatever the final bill turned out to be.

    I was told the repair tech would be at my mother's house the next day between 1 - 5, which seemed like a fairly long spread. But since she's elderly and lives alone I changed my plans and spent the afternoon at her house. At 4:30 she got a call from the scheduler saying the tech would be there around 5, giving his location and the location he was visiting next, which was quite close to my mother's house. I asked that he call as soon as he was done and ready to head to my mother's. She also said he'd be working until 7 that night just to make sure everyone was taken care of.

    And that's the last we ever heard from Sears on that day. No calls, no repair tech, no nothing. I wasted my time waiting around until 7:30 in case the tech was running late. The next morning Sears called my mother to offer her no explanation or apology and to schedule an appointment for 12 days out. No mention of "next day" or a discount coupon in an email. To me this is bait-and-switch. Not to mention that no appliance should be in need of repair after just 24 months.

    The repair tech from the second company called ahead, showed up on time, took the dryer completely apart, and found only poor quality workmanship to explain the banging sound, which he fixed by degreasing the outside of the tub where someone had left grease under a belt, filing down some bad seam edges on the outside of the tub, and lubing the wheels. He stayed while we tested it with a light load and a heavy load, made sure my mother had his phone number before leaving, and charged $109, $89 of which was the call-out fee.

    Sears deserves to go bankrupt. Sorry for the employees who lose their jobs but Sears slashed senior employees across the board back in the early 1990s just to save money and make up for their poor corporate decisions, and clearly learned nothing from the havoc they wreaked on people's lives at the time. So good riddance.

I called again and Sears gave me a contractor's phone number, unfortunately this company didn't answer the phone. Finally I got a gentleman, he schedules a time but didn't show up, then I called again, this contractor scheduled another time and still didn't show up.

    I called Sears again. They gave me another contractor's number. This contractor doesn't work for DC area. I called Sears again. A lady said, somebody will call me and schedule a time for me. No one called. I called again, a gentleman from Sears was on the phone with me. He said somebody will call me and schedule a time for me, of course still no one called me. For a checkup, I have called 4 months. I am paying monthly fee but got no service at all. It's a waste of time and money. Sears sucks.

    I signed up for the Sears Home Warranty Plan and used it once. They replaced a $500 circuit board in my refrigerator for a $75 service fee which at the time seemed great. However, I did not need the service for the rest of the year so ended up paying $600 for the warranty for the year. Last month I called to set up service for my washing machine. They told me that my warranty had expired and that I would need to sign up for another year to get the service. The washing machine was old so I decided to purchase a new one and thought that my refusal to pay for another year of service meant that I was discontinuing the contract.

    Now I just saw they charged my card for this month. When I called to ask about the charge they said I the contract was automatically renewed for another year and would have to pay $420 to stop the warranty prior to the end date a year from now. The automatic renewal clause was in the contract, but I am upset that the service representative did not make an attempt to clarify that my non-agreement to continue the service was not an official request to end the service and avoid the auto-renewal. This service is a waste of money and I wish I had not signed up for it.

    Sears warranty is not worth the paper it's written on. Their customer service sucks... most cannot speak English. Technicians that they have sent out cannot fix the problem of my washer that has leaked periodically since I bought it... the last service appointment was on 4 27 2018. The technician showed up 2 hours late, couldn't speak English actually was a subcontractor not an employee of Sears... left a card with a different company name on it. I am not letting someone like this into my home. In December I paid to renew the warranty at the cost of 838.00. I will try to cancel this warranty and get part of my money back however I don't see that happening. I will never buy from Sears again and I will tell everyone I know about this experience.

    This is BS. No one at Sears is interested In helping us. We have a dryer bought & delivered on February 20, 2018. At delivery they told wife not necessary to switch door. Just set-up with washer dryer reversed and long vent hose. So strike 1 on us for allowing to be done. On March 16, 2018 dryer starts making noise and we get AF code. My wife Kristie calls in on Monday 2-19, to request service. Takes a few calls before she gets someone she can understand. This person has her do some Diagnostics while on phone. He tells her it's because of long vent hose that delivery guys put on. Also believes that's what causing loud noise. He tells her he will set-up service call to fix problems on 3-21. Tells her we need to buy a shorter vent hose, implying that there's only like two different hoses, saying the delivery guys use the wrong one.

    My wife Kristie tells me what a great help this guy has been not realizing he was full of BS. So I look for a vent hose and there's about a hundred out there. Strike 2. We should have seen more BS. So on morning of 3-23 my wife calls Sears back. They have no service call set-up. Not knowing what to do next she calls salesman that we purchase the product from. He has her call some lady in delivery department which is able to figure out that they're coming only to switch out the door. No technician is coming. The delivery guys come switch out door. Notice that door is broke at the bottom. I had shorten the hose. They said it look like job well done. But we still have a noisy dryer. Takes hours to dry clothes. Me and my wife would like return dryer but everyone seems to be stuck at this time on our 30 days which our 30 days isn't up until some time the 21st after our 1st call. Strike 3 the last product we ever buy from SEARS.

    But that's not the end. So on the 21st my wife sets up service visits for 3-28. The serviceman comes, listens to the dryer and says it's defective motor. Very loud vibration. He calls in, talks to someone at Sears trying to get them to just replace dryer but they say it will take 24 hours. No word from anyone. So on March 30th I call. I am told that this service person didn't do their job properly that they should have ordered some parts to fix it. Let me remind you this is after numerous calls with numerous long conversations with no help. So I call the salesman back and tell him what's going on. He cannot believe it. He gives me a number which I call and I'm able to setup call on Saturday the 31st. This technician shows up, comes in our house with his toolbox, listens to the dryer and immediately says that we have a bad motor and that the door needs to be replaced and also some pulley assembly.

    Now we're really getting upset. Tells us he will order the parts but it will be April 11th before they'll be able to get out to fix it. I believe this guy is the company yes man and he doesn't really care about us as customers. So I spent almost half of my Saturday on the phone with numerous people. The warranty department they didn't seem to care cause my 30 days is up. The service department is stuck on. You have to make so many calls, have to put in so many replacement parts in the machine before it's worth making it right.

    Finally I did get someone that made some sense at Sears. The lady said the thing that kept sounding in her ears was the fact a dryer with so many problems in a short amount time in her opinion should be replaced. She advised me to wait till Monday April 2nd. She said then call in and try to get someone that can help me after they have received the information of service call on 3-31. I would like to end this by saying I know the answer. It we will be out to fix it as soon as possible once the parts come in after we spent more on Parts than your dryer is worth. So seriously do you think I could ever recommend Sears to anyone. Talk to several dept in ref to lady I talk to 3//31 who gave me hope. But after dead ends no help. Have reached out to local store. It is now 4/28/2018. We have had to cancel appointment because they can't find part.They don't know when I will get part to fix dryer. I won't be holding my breath.

    Zero... NO STARS. This company is the worst in dealing with real time issues. I had made an appointment a week in advance for a repair or assessment of a non preforming clothes washer. 2 confirming emails later and 1 call on the day before and the day of my 1 to 5 pm appointment I checked in at 10 am (as suggested by Sears) gave my phone number and a non person electronic robotic voice said the updated window of the visit was from 345pm to 545pm improving on the vague 1-5pm slot. Ok cool. So went out to do some things. Came back at 1:48 with a note on the front door saying A&E was here at 1:05 and had gone and left a contact number of 1 800 905 9505. NO TEXTS before as promised.

    So I called the given # and said what happened? You Sears said later 3:45 and of course I was speaking with someone with a poor grasp of English on a script. "Tel number... Name... What you have fixed." I asked, "Where are you?" She said, "the Philippines." I asked for the local Sears number or dispatch and was given another number 1 800 4 MY HOME (1-800-469 4663) both answered in Colombia and again in the Philippines. I took the day off and had no repair.

    So if you want to deal with a company that says 345 to 545 and comes at 1:05 be my guest. And they wonder why Sears is a dying company? As a US citizen I clearly know why. People in this country are not good enough to talk on the phone? And when you call the local numbers ask them where they are. What a scam. I can't wait to see the local Sears go under to give another US local company the chance to serve our area. NEVER EVER AGAIN. But if you live in Colombia or the Philippines you may want to buy a Sears appliance.

    I have a 4 years refrigerator which had cooling issue in freezer section. The Sears had sent 4 group of technicians and every time they made my refrigerator worse. At least I was able to store food in refrigerator section initially. With each group of technicians making it bad to worse, the refrigerator section stopped working as well. The last technician could not put back the parts he took out. So he left the refrigerator without electricity. He did not bother to pack the parts he opened and left it scattered all over. So the refrigerator is off since his last visit.

    I was told they will repair on an urgent basis. I had an appointment to today and they changed that without my knowledge to date when I will be out of town. So I am waiting for the fifth group of technicians to come and repair my refrigerator. I hope they show up today. The customer group which goes to Philippines even another nightmare. You ask them one thing, they answer something else. They even wouldn't any number of Sears in USA. I would not even give them 0 star. I would not even suggest to anyone for Sears service.

    Updated on 04/24/2018: A senior technician (who was assigned at the last minutes) arrived to repair my refrigerator yesterday (April 23, 2018) for the 5th time. He was aghast to see the unused parts left opened and scattered all over on my ground floor by the previous technician. He was even dumbfounded seeing the parts on refrigerator not connected properly. There are pipes/tubes left open, which the technician told me should not have been left open. The condenser, compressor along with few parts of the refrigerator was burnt. There was oil all over the place. In a nutshell, the refrigerator is of no worth anymore. The technician told me that the refrigerator is beyond repair. He spoke to people in LG and his senior personnel at Sears. So they asked him to wrap up and sent that to insurance for damage claim. The funny part is: he picked up all the old parts & new unused parts and never gave me a receipt of what he is taking away.

    He gave me a claim number of course. After I figured out he has not given me a contact number of the claim people, I went up to his van and asked for the contact number. His answer was "I have no idea". I was wondering that this technician who came and was asking about all the receipts of the repair history now telling me he has nothing to give me: No receipt, no telephone number of insurance / third party, no receipt of what is taking away. I am without refrigerator after ~50 days. That is Sears at its best!!! Never ever think of Sears again. This is worst company to deal with. Their customer service is worst and so also technicians. I know this is what they are best at. So I have recorded what he is taking away and his conversation with his superior about the damage. Hopefully, they pay for the damage.

I called the Middle of March, 2018, regarding problems with my dishwasher, after 2 weeks the repairman finally came. He told me that it would need to be replaced and that the warranty company would call me. I never received a call, email, text anything so I called them. They were ordering a new one, but having trouble finding someone to deliver it. We drove 2 1/2 hours to meet the delivery people who basically unloaded the dishwasher in my carport and drove away.

    My kitchen is on the 2nd story. So I called the warranty company again and they said they were having trouble finding someone to install it. After me calling 3 times, they finally said that Sears would be out on Thursday April 19, so I paid someone to go wait for them, supposed to be there between 8-noon. Well at noon the guy from Sears called, after talking to him, he was only a repairman, didn't do installs. So Friday April 20, I get an email from Sears that they would be there Thursday the 26th.

    I had Sears home service come out to diagnose a ride on tractor with leaking oil. The repairman didn't even look at the engine and said he had an idea what the problem was. He ordered parts and I paid him for the majority of the bill with the rest on completion. After months of reschedule and Sears cancelling an appointment, he came on the 4/4 to install the parts... However, once he started to unscrew the motor I noticed more oil leaking on my driveway (big mess that he didn't even try to clean up) and let him know. He looked where the oil was coming from and quickly changed course and said he misdiagnosed the issue and he can't fix the problem. That I either had to buy a new tractor or replace the engine. I asked him to at least screw the engine back on and he said, "I would rather not".

    So, for the past 2+ weeks now, I have spoken to 7 people in Sears Customer Care dept trying to return parts and get my money back for what is now the worst experience I have ever had with a company. I have been told weekly that someone will call me back with an answer to my solution within 24-48 hours. I never received one phone call and had to keep calling them only to now be told that they will not reimburse me for the diagnostic or labor. Now, no labor was done on it and diagnostic was not even close. However, regardless, I was told, "Too bad" and that is their policy.

    I asked if making consumers happy was also their policy and the guy actually said No... no joke!!! They have now lost my business forever and I am purchasing a new lawn tractor from another company. I told the Manager this and he could care less. Big loss for them there! Shows how making a customer happy can go a long way. If you do take the time to read these reviews, please do yourself a very big favor and don't ever use Sears!!!

    This is an email that I issued to SEARS after my last interaction with them via phone, yesterday. I spoke with Richard who claimed to be a department manager with no boss that he could transfer me to. He said if I wanted to talk to anybody else I would have to send an email. (I told him that unless he is the CEO, he has a boss.)

    "This issue starts 4 months ago when I purchased an LG oven at a locally owned SEARS store in Steamboat Springs, CO. Bear with me as this is quite a long history. As told to me by the sales associate when I purchased the oven in December 2017, this particular oven unit was originally purchased by a customer and when the SEARS associates arrived to install it, they found that it was not the right size. This unit was then returned to the sales floor of the locally owned SEARS store in Steamboat Springs, CO. The locally owned SEARS store in Steamboat Springs, CO does not carry inventory. What they have are a few select units for display at their showroom. Because they don't carry inventory, they reduced the price of the returned oven in order to sell it quickly. We purchased the oven a few months after the initial buyer and we were told that it was brand new, never used, and returned only because it was the wrong size.

    The item sold to us was damaged. After unwrapping the unit, we saw the smashed top panel, the cord that was pulled apart and exposing the wires, the dented and scratched lower door, the upper door that was scratched and had sprung hinges. We immediately called the locally owned SEARS store and talked to the manager about the damage. He told us that we bought the unit AS IS and that he would not do anything to repair it. I disagreed and insisted upon it being fixed. (If it was an AS IS unit, he would not have been able to sell me the 5 year Master Protection Agreement on the oven.) He threatened to take the unit from us so we filed a formal complaint against him and the store. We were told to contact SEARS regarding the Protection Agreement and start the repair process through them. We did this at the end of December.

    The first repairman showed up in early January to diagnose the problem and order the parts. After 2 months we had not heard back from him nor SEARS regarding the status of the repairs. We were told to file a formal complaint against the repairman so we did. That removed him from the repair ticket but we were back at the beginning with an oven that still hadn't been repaired. At this time, we looked through the paperwork that came with the oven.

    There was a large plastic bag with the following contents: an envelope containing the wiring diagrams for the oven, a square of cardboard cut out of the original delivery box which included the original buyers name and phone number, an LG warranty registration card, a pamphlet showcasing the sears protection program with a pocket in the back containing the terms and conditions, a green laminated "Wall Oven Quick Tips" sheet, the LG owner's manual, the LG installation manual, and two receipts dated in October 2017 showing parts and repair requested for this unit with the words" UNIT IS SMASHED" and "ORDERED PARTS NEEDED TO CORRECT HIDDEN DAMAGE ON UNIT" on them. The damage listed was not disclosed to us during the sales process, yet the owner of the SEARS store absolutely knew about it. (Pictures of the receipts are attached below.)

    The second repairman showed up at the end of March and diagnosed the problem and went to order the parts, only to find out that the hinges and the motherboard for the unit were unavailable. He updated the system with this information and told us to call SEARS to start the paperwork for getting a replacement. Today I received an email with an authorization amount that is not enough to replace the oven that we purchased. You offered $1979.93. We paid $1979.93 plus $158 in tax for our unit (a total of $2137.93) In order to replace this unit through SEARS it would cost $2519 plus $211.60 tax (a total of $2730.60). The difference between what you are offering me and what it would cost to actually replace it is $750.67. That is not a replacement. A replacement is me having the same oven, in my house, at no cost to me. Anything less is not a replacement.

    From the beginning, SEARS has been hard to work with. I have made multiple calls each week to inquire about the status of the repairs, to get an update, to file a complaint, and each time I have been on hold or on the phone for 45 minutes to 1 hour. It has been over 4 months and this issue is still not resolved. Just last Friday, April 13, 2018 when I called to move forward with a replacement, the customer service representative I talked to did not process my information. They left it undone and the agent I talked to on the phone Tuesday the 17th had to process everything for me. This was not the first time that the agent on the phone did not process the information they needed to. It was a chronic issue, not something I encountered once.

    We were sold a damaged unit, fraudulently labeled as new. I believe the fraud continues with the offer of a replacement at a value far below the actual cost. Today I spoke with Richard and I was told that he was the department manager and not allowed to override the authorized amount. I asked to speak to his supervisor or someone authorized to override the amount. He said he had no boss and nobody I could appeal to. I insisted on getting a name or phone number of his supervisor so he gave me this email address. I am disappointed by this continuing interaction with SEARS Protection and I ask you to make this right."

    Like many of the other people that have posted formal complaints, I was on hold for 45-60 minutes each time I called. I had to wait the initial 30 minutes for somebody to pick up, then I had to wait while the rep reviewed the notes on my account, then I had to wait while they talked to a supervisor about what they could do to help me. Most of the time the rep I was talking to did nothing.

    They promised that they would do something, but they didn't. Either they didn't enter a code, or they entered the wrong one, or they didn't process my request, or they didn't leave any notes on the file, or they didn't forward my information to anybody. So my case didn't get moved along and my time on the phone was wasted. This has been happening for 4 months. I have documentation regarding the calls I've made including the time of the call, who I spoke with, the length of the call, the supposed outcome. In the end, I'm left with an oven that can't be repaired, a "replacement" settlement that is only 3/4 of what I need to actually replace my oven, and a very sour taste in my mouth for SEARS.

I spent 20 minutes on the phone with them asking to talk with someone in charge that can make decisions and then listening to them tell me that they don't make the part anymore. They then proceeded to tell me that they can send a technician out to look at the grill for repair (at my cost of course). This organization cares nothing about their clientele which is why they are on the verge of going under. This is by far the worst customer experience I've ever had.

    Called to report a water leak under the kitchen sink. They tried to send a plumber from over 40 miles away however that company said they never came this far. No plumbers are in network in this area although we are very close to a major city. After telling Sears that I was cancelling our $70.00 month contract they offered to let us get a local plumber with the stipulation that the plumber call them. A faucet had to be replaced. A call to the "claim specialist" could not be completed. No one could be reached at three different numbers. The plumber could not waste any more time. We paid him and he left a copy of the bill and his contact number which I emailed to Sears. By the way, it isn't really Sears.

    They sub-contract with Cross Country Home Services. I received the following response from Cross Country, "We have received your supporting documentation for your reimbursement request and it has been routed to the appropriate department for handling. If your service company did not call us for authorization prior to completing any work, we will review your documentation for coverage eligibility in conjunction with the Terms and Conditions of your Service Agreement. Please note any reimbursement will be based on what we would have incurred to affect the repairs or replacement. Please allow up to 4 weeks for review and processing.

    I have had your repair service out on 3/6, 3/20, 3/26 and 4/16 to repair my snowblower. The Tech Jerry removed a part today and ordered a replacement part. It did not work even without the scraper. Jerry said his manager won't agree to replace as the contract states you should when it is unrepairable. Jerry knows even with the part installed it still won't work. I need to have authorization from his manager to get a replacement. Please advise who can escalate this case and get this matter resolved. This is 4 appointments during the business day with a window of 8-5 PM. I have missed work to be home and this is now COSTING ME MONEY AND TIME AWAY FROM WORK. THAT IS UNREASONABLE. I would expect Sears to stand beside its products as I am a long time customer and all my major appliances are from Sears. Very disappointed in Sears. #longtimesearscustomer.

    I requested service on a plan I had for over three years. A to Z repair company came out to my home January 24, 2018 and as of today no one have provided no update on the claim. I finally got in touch with Sears Home Warranty on the issue in February 8, 2018 and was told that they were having an issue getting the main panel board for the Kenmore Washer. Mine you this Kenmore washer was a year old December 12, 2017. Back to the call with Sears, I was told I will updated when a resolution is found. Today April 16, 2018. No resolution and I had to call Sears Home Warranty to find out any information on the claim. I told Sears Home Warranty that I wanted to cancel this plan and they inform me if I cancel the plan now my washer would not be covered. This warranty service is a waste of good money.

    We purchased a Fridge for $1200.00 in May of 2017 from a local Sears store. I too had great luck with Sears products in the past so I did not blink a eye, but should have done my homework. After one we noticed the fridge was not cooling correctly. Tried turning up the thermostat, but it continue to warm up inside the fridge. Called Sears and could not get a appointment for one month. Set the appointment up and the service tech never showed or called. (took a day off work) Called Sears, set another appointment up, service tech came and order parts. Waited twelve days on parts, one finally showed, but ended up waiting four more months for the other part that was back ordered.

    Different tech came, installed one part, but said the other one did not need installed. Fridge seem to work for about a month, same problem is not cooling. Called Sears, set a appointment up, tech did not show, had to reschedule appointment because he was too busy. Rescheduled appointment, tech came and order two parts and rescheduled a appointment to install. Sears called four days before my tech appointment and canceled the appointment. Reason no tech to come and work on fridge, this was two weeks ago and I have called them every forty-eight hours to try to get a tech rescheduled for fourteen days now. They tell me the same excuse, no tech available. I live in a town of over 60K, not out on a farm 50 miles from town.

    Since it takes the fridge about 30 days to stop the cooling process (icing up in the bottom of fridge) it is my opinion the fridge never worked correct from the manufacture. I am thinking Sears is in such dire circumstances that they knew there was a problem and sold me the product anyway. I am very doubtful they will remedy my problem, but people do not buy any products from Sears!!! I know I have bought my last.

    Damaged Mattress - I took a vacation day, drove 4 hours to my retirement home for the scheduled delivery confirmed twice by Sears. Since Sears cancelled delivery I had no other option but to have neighbor schedule the next appointment. I trusted Sears to provide a quality product. Not a product with a hole and grease. Sears has a 72-hour policy to report damage. Since I did not discover the damage for a few month. Sears informed me this was my problem. I have purchased products from Sears for years. I will never do business with Sears again.

    I have never had a worse experience with a repair company. My refrigerator broke about 3 months ago. I called SEARS because it is an LG and they claim to service and repair them. The first guy diagnosed it and told me they would need to order a part and sent it to my house to arrive a week later. So that is one week without a working fridge. About 10 days later they show up to "fix" the fridge and put the new part in. Fast forward two weeks and the fridge is broken again. Technician comes out and says that another part is broken and they did not realize it. They don't have that part. They send it and again about 10 days later show up to fix it. Now here I am 3 weeks later and the refrigerator is broken again.

    Now the bill comes. It is $90 more than I was told it would be with no reason given whatsoever. I try calling to talk to someone and you can't actually get a hold of anyone in the billing department. I tried using their online service and was told repeatedly that I would be contacted within 24-48 hours. I have never been contacted. I called two days ago and talked to someone in their call center who told me to just pay the bill or they would not do anything for me. Why would I pay them when they didn't fix the problem??? I will never use them for anything again.

    1 month ago I contacted my Sears through my home warranty program per the booklet left by the Sears salesman 6 months ago who fixed my washer and had encouraged me on signing up for obvious reasons, my washer that I have had nothing but problems with since I purchased it. I assumed I was going to be getting a Sears service person whenever I had problems but nope! He didn't offer any information either, that might mean they would lose money, lol. So... I called 1 month and 1 day ago to have my washer serviced, they called a 3rd party company to work on it but they don't service Samsung washers, I was told when I called back that I, the consumer had to find my own service technician, of which I was paying them for, with brief instructions on how to do this.

    I did the leg work and found nobody who would service a Samsung as the parts have to be ordered from Korea and, nobody wants to go through a 3rd party to get paid as they won't pay what the service technician wants. I called back a few days later, upset, I got a very rude lady on the phone who was no help at all and was telling me everything I already knew from my previous call. I wanted to cancel so she forwarded me to the department to cancel. My husband didn't want me to, for obvious reasons, seemed like a good deal. So I stuck it out. The Sears representative was doing some research to try to help me find someone but waited for days for a callback and got nothing. Called back and got another representative explained what happened and same results.

    As you can imagine! My washer is still not working. Given promise after promise and still no help! In the meantime my monthly fee to Sears home warranty comes out of my account. Obviously, I'm pissed! I am on week three at this point and still no washer. Taking 5 people's laundry to the laundry mat this is not easy. I call again, I luckily got someone who was able to help me. She couldn't find anyone in the area either but did offer to send me a check for $250.00 to cover the expense of getting my washer fixed. I would receive in 7-10 business days. I agreed. I had nothing to lose at this point.

    I hung up and within 10 minutes she had called me back and had found someone, 3rd party, that agreed to service my washer. She emailed me with all the information. I called them, they had not receive the orders yet so could not do anything. I waited 3 days and called back to the service company, no answer - left msg, again same day left msg, 2 days gone again left msg, next day, left msg, finally I got someone, apparently they had some office problems, backed up in service calls. Told me to call her back next day, I did better than that, I waited 1 more day, NO ANSWER, LEFT MESSAGE. STILL NO CALL BACK! I called today, 1 month and 1 day later, canceled my so called Sears home warranty service. Obviously! This is the last time I will EVER make a purchase through Sears!

    I called Sears appliance repair for my 2-year-old refrigerator that had stopped working. I told the agent the make, model and year of the fridge. He sold me on a Sears Home Warranty for one year at a cost of $50 per month plus $80 deductible per incident that would cover the cost of the repair and all my other appliances.

    The earliest a person could get to us was 5 days. The service person was supposed to call to let me know he was on his way. He called when he was at my house. I told him I was 15 minutes away and he said he couldn't wait and was headed to the next appointment. I asked him why he didn't call prior to his arrival and he didn't really have a good answer. I convinced him to wait for me and he wasn't happy about it.

    After he looked at the fridge he lectured me on how bad my brand was and how the compressors were known to go out every two years. He said he needed to order the part and set me up for a follow up appointment 12 days later. He looked up the serial number and the model number and it showed him the fridge was out of warranty with the manufacturer. He then ordered a new compressor. The part wound up delivering 5 days later and I rescheduled my appointment for what would have been 8 days after my initial appointment instead of the 12 he had originally scheduled me for.

    I was at work but a different tech showed up and told my wife we owed him $399 for the part. He said anything over $500 was not covered under the warranty. I looked at my contract and it said anything over $1000 was not covered. I told the repairman this and he went outside to his truck and made a call. 15 minutes later he came in and said he couldn't repair the fridge because it was under the manufacturer's warranty of 7 years and they were responsible for the repair. He said they could cover the labor of $500 but I would have to have the part ordered from the manufacturer on the manufacturer's warranty.

    I called the service department and they bounced me around while the repairman waited and I finally talked to an agent who after having me on hold for 10 minutes said that the part was covered under the manufacturer and I would need to open up a warranty claim with them. I told her when I signed up no one told me any of this and I had basically gone 16 days without a fridge. She was very unprofessional and sounded as if she could care less. I let her know the first repair person who ordered the part should have been aware of this and let me know instead of me wasting another week and not having a fridge. I canceled the warranty with Sears and I'm still waiting on a refund for my deductible and warranty payment.

    To make matters worse I called the manufacturer and they said the compressor which was the defective part had a warranty of 10 years (not 7) for parts but not for labor. All Sears had to do was contact them with the Serial Number and Model number and they would have sent the part out for free and authorized them to repair it. What makes things even more baffling is, if my fridge was 10 years old and 1 day then Sears would have been able to install the part they ordered right then and there. Just don't understand how they couldn't have installed and asked for reimbursement from the manufacturer. All in all it was poor customer service from start to finish. I will never buy or use any services from Sears ever again.

    I purchased a hot water heater with installation & hall away from Sears for my mom and they said that someone should be contacting/calling me within 24 hours to schedule the installation. No phone call. So I decide to call the number listed on my receipt of purchase and I'm on a call with someone who can not tell me anything except that they do not have any other their 3rd party installers to accept the job of installation for the area.

    If your 3rd party installers don't want the jobs within the area, then don't offer installations for the area so customers can make a different decision. The manager of the installation department now says that the installer did not accept the installation because SEARS undercharged the permit amount by $3. REALLY? $3? They had to cancel the order and my money ($1,125) that was charged to my credit card won't be available for 7 or more business days. Today is Friday. So I'm looking at, at least 2 weeks before my funds are returned to me to purchase a new hot water heater. Which means I have to go another 2 weeks w/o HOT WATER!!!

    My experience with SHW was HORRIBLE and absolutely ridiculous. I made the claim on Feb 26th and had to wait until March 14th for a diagnosis. Parts had to be ordered and were delivered within the week. However, the soonest a tech could make a repair was on March 27th which I wasn’t too happy about. But it only gets “better”, on 3/27, I stayed home expecting a tech to show between 10-2 AND I GOT STOOD UP!!! Sears didn’t even have the decency to call and cancel 24 hours in advance as they would have EXPECTED me to do or they would have charged me! I didn’t receive a call until AFTER the window and the lady rescheduled me for April 9th - which is COMPLETELY unacceptable. The only explanation I got was “due to technical difficulties”... SERIOUSLY?!

    She pretty much brushed me off and seemingly didn’t give a crap how much Sears put ME out! At the very least, I feel that she should have offered to refund my copay for inconvenience of Sears inconsiderate and unprofessional behavior that resulted in a WASTE of MY entire day!!! I’m done with Sears Home Warranty after this incident. In fact, I have already cancelled it! Fortunately, the tech that DID actually show up on 4/9, was great; HE was very courteous and professional and fixed my dryer promptly and it seems to be working fine now. However, I’m still in shock that I have paid monthly premiums, a $75 co-pay, and wasted an entire day sitting around all day only to be stood up...

    On top of all that, I waited nearly 2 months total just to get my dryer repaired with Sears...not to mention the inconvenience of hauling my laundry to my parents house and back in the meantime! They claim they will replace your appliance if it’s irreparable; however, they should also have to replace it under the warranty if they can’t repair it in a timely manner!! I am VERY disappointed (to say the very least) and will share this experience with EVERYONE I know in my social network so my friends and family don’t get ripped off! And, as for Sears dwindling brick and mortar stores, I will be taking my business elsewhere from now on just like the rest of the world seems to be doing!

    After reading the terrible reviews for Sears purchases, I have decided to add my own complaint, because I am very frustrated as well. I ordered a refrigerator online on March 16th. On March 18th the same refrigerator was at a lower price at Sears.com, so I called Sears customer service and asked him to adjust the price. He would not do so, even though Sears has a Price Guarantee. I went and cancelled my original order and then went back online and I ordered it, the Kenmore refrigerator at the lower discounted price. Since I cancelled the original order, which was placed on March 16th and it was cancelled on March 18th, they told me I would get a refund of almost $900, which is what I paid for the refrigerator, in 7 to 10 business days.

    7 to 10 business days came and went and still no refund. After numerous calls and a lot of frustration, I really got nowhere with Sears customer service, so I went ahead and disputed the charge with my credit card company. I finally received another email from Sears.com on the 29th of March stating that I will get a refund in another 7 to 10 business days. So now I would be waiting for a refund on a Cancelled Order for over 3 weeks now. This was not acceptable. The other part of this is that when I placed the reorder of the refrigerator, to get it for a lower price, this was a March 18th and today is April 10th, and I still do not have the refrigerator.

    Sears Delivery have delivered the refrigerator twice and each time, supposedly being a brand new refrigerator, it was dented, banged up and liquid leaking so I refused acceptance of both deliveries. Now I am still waiting for my 3rd delivery attempt of a new refrigerator, but after reading all these reviews I am not so sure that I even want to keep this Kenmore refrigerator that has yet to be delivered. It seems a lot of people are disappointed with Sears and there should be something done about it on a higher level by either a complaint thru the State's Attorney's Office or maybe even a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT brought on Sears.

    Their customer service is HORRIBLE and the third party customer service "Language barrier" and warranty/repair companies are NO HELP. They send the techs out without the right tools needed to fix anything based on my experience each time. They do not rush parts and do NOT care how long it takes for parts to come in.

The customer call center which is in the Philippines told me my case is closed. They refuse to take my legally affidavit, that shows I have legal right to handle my mother affairs. However they took my mother’s death certificate and said case closed. They stole my dead mother’s money! How can they do that. What about accountability and ethics!

They refuse to tell me why and they hang up on me. I rather have my mother back alive, instead I'm dealing with thieves.

Today they called an hour and a half before the appointment to tell us that the repairman was over-booked and could not make the appointment. Then they told us that they were so booked, they could not make a new appointment at this time. This is no way to run a business. No wonder Sears is going out of business. Good riddance​.

    Sears is the absolute worst company I have ever dealt with. If you decide to shop there, you will have the worst experience. Don't say I didn't warn you. I have racked up a total of 14 hours on the phone with Sears in the last three weeks. I get transferred, put on hold, disconnected, lied to... All so I can spend $3K at Sears. I can honestly say that I have bought every appliance at Sears for my whole life... (My parents did too). But what has happened there? They are currently trying to scam me out of 1K. I had to return a part of my purchase since I didn't realize I would need a plumber in order to install it.

    First let me say that the first ten hours on the phone with them was trying to get them to make the delivery that they said they would make in the first place. I would have just canceled and ordered elsewhere, but they already charge my card. They picked up the portion of my order that I wanted to return and said it would take 7-10 days for a refund. I call on day ten and they say that I have to call my bank and tell them to accept it. NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING. My bank laughed as well. Then they sent me an email (on business day 12) saying that I have to call the delivery department... WHAT!!! Needless to say I had to call my bank to dispute the charge. But I am now without the money for who knows how long. They should be ashamed of themselves.

    I purchased a GE refrigerator from SEARS in Jan 2017, was offered free delivery. At the time of delivery, the installation team offered to install a water line for the ice maker for $125. In Oct2017, the line leaked at the fridge and at the water line tie in, so I had to contact a plumber. The plumber noted on his report that incorrect ferrules were used, causing the leak. My kitchen and family room sustained damage (flooring, molding, drywall, heating vent). I reported the issue to SEARS, who gave me a case number and referred me to their claims department (Sedgwick, 3rd party company). Sedgwick was unresponsive for nearly 2 months as my claims rep quit and my case was not reassigned.

    Sedgwick was rude throughout the experience, and determined that SEARS was not at fault, and that I had to work with the 3rd party vendor who performed the installation (XPO Logistics). XPO was generally helpful and referred me to their 3rd party claims department (York Risk Services). After a month, the York claims rep sent an adjuster to assess the damage, providing an estimate of $3300 in damages, not including the $575 emergency plumber fee. As of today, 04 Apr 18, I’ve been notified that the technician who performed the install was insured in Jan 17, but had let their coverage lapse on Oct 06, 2017, 5 days before the leak—so York/XPO/Sedgwick/SEARS would not cover any damages.

    I was rudely instructed to file a claim with my homeowner's insurance, who would have to subrogate to reclaim the damages from XPO. My homeowner's insurance basically said I’d have to pay my $1000 deductible, and would not cover the $575 plumbing fee—they said they will not subrogate for this amount and that my policy would likely increase if the claim is filed. Don’t buy from SEARS, and don’t have them install—they advertise a 100% 1 year guarantee for installed work. This is not the story of a satisfied customer, and a complaint filed with the Better Business Bureau ended with a “sorry about your luck” reply. I’ll make ice in trays now, thanks for the $4000 bill for an ice line install...

    So I went to the local Sears today to exchange broken tools as I've done in the past however I was informed that they will no longer exchange any tools that are NOT stamped USA. No problem I thought because I dont have any counterfeit tools. Well I had a 3/8-1/4" adapter that said USA & of course they didn't have any to exchange. Next I had a 3/8" universal and they didnt warranty it because it didnt say USA on it which is ludicrous and I will elaborate on that in a minute. The next tool a Torx 45 -3/8" drive is a common tool, they didnt have that either.

    Lastly and this really is the icing on the cake, a 12 pt 5/8" deep 3/8" dive which they had and mine said USA bigger than life on the side so out of 4 I managed to get one exchanged which is a terrible average unless you're a major league batter. When I get home and grab my glasses then read the tag I realize the socket Sears gave me wasnt stamped USA, and to my dismay I realize it is made in CHINA! So they wont warranty ** made in China and when I give my USA tools I get Chinese ** back!! Absolutely the worst business practice I've ever encountered, I am so irate that it's hard for me to even type this right now! To make matters worse when I call them I get some girl in Nepal who cant even explain to me why this is policy or even understand why I'm mad. This is what I consider theft and it wont be tolerated!

    The crew put two dents in top of the washer. After 4 hours on the phone, being transferred from one place to another and put on mute several times, they finally offered us some Sears points to go on our account. We were wore out after 4 hours so we accepted. We later found out the clerk who made the offer lied and our compensation was much less than we were told.

    We decided to stack the washer and dryer to hide the two dents. We hired a local. Upon arrival he immediately told us that it was not installed right. The cord was rubbing against a sharp edge on the back of the washer. We paid the man extra to undo what the idiot from Sears had done .So we paid double for installation and got two dents in a $900.00 washer and completely ignored by Sears Their consumer help line is a joke.

    You should be ASHAMED of yourself! I understand that you are going out of business, but to ignore legitimate complaints is beyond shameful. I live in FL. My daughter lives in Los Angeles (Brittany). In late November of 2017, I bought her a Sears Kenmore washing machine: MOD. 110.26132413. SER. C74470242. Type 589-03. After about one month of using it, my daughter noticed it was leaving big, white splatters on her clothes. In order to get them off, she has to do about 5-6 rinse cycles. She has had 4 service repairmen come out at different times to fix it, without success. BTW, they didn’t have nice things to say about Sears, the Company they currently work for! One of them showed documentation FROM SEARS that this is a known problem yet you have NOT put it on the recall list!

    My daughter has missed days of work, waiting on repairmen to come and fix it. They replaced the drum, to no avail! This is a $500 brand new washer! It is still under warranty and cannot be fixed! I was on the phone for over two hours with your Customer Solutions Dept. yesterday only to be put on hold for over 20 minutes several times. One even said she could not help me and hung up on me!

    BTW, all had accents whom I doubt were from this country. I have heard, “Good luck with that, you’ll need it” to “Sears will never replace it.” Well, your repairman have been unable to fix it and we have tried to do everything possible to rectify this issue. This is the same as theft/stealing to me. Shame on you! You have my $500 and I have a washer THAT DOESN’T WORK! Is there anyone left at Sears with thimble-full of integrity that can help me? My name is Sherry **. I have a houseful of Kenmore products and am very satisfied. I told my daughter when she was looking at washers that “you can’t beat a Kenmore.” Boy, was I wrong.

    Charged nearly $180+ to clear lines from a dishwasher. Clearly, the labor was not going to take that long, and there were no parts to bill. The repair guy said the price is just based on a computer code from Sears. Rip off.

    Sears keeps sending me surveys and review emails. When I enter this neither will accept it. Censorship much... I paid over $888.00 on Saturday March 10th for a refrigerator with a delivery date of Monday March 12th. The 12th came and went and I got no fridge, no phone call, no email and no money back in my account. Six calls to your horrible customer service in one day and not one call got through. Every time someone picked up a phone they quickly hung it up.

    I finally got through on March 13th and was told my payment was placed on "hold" but was not told why. I was put through to 8 different people who had bizarre fake names not matching their thick accents which couldn't hardly be understood. In chronological order, Esmeralda, Gray, Percy, Diane, Ashley, Tyler, Pink and Zachary. That was all in one phone call and I have 4 phone numbers I was also given and shuffled around to. Disconnected and had to call back myself because they don't call you back once lines disconnected.

    I was told by "Carlo" on the 14th that it was because I paid with PayPal. You basically stole my money, didn't even give me a confirmation email of my purchase and no delivery of my fridge which was paid for and cleared my PayPal account immediately on March 10th and my bank account on the 12th. CLEARED, not a pending transaction in my checking account. You stole money from me and delivered nothing. I had to call PayPal first and begin a 3 way conference call to get anything done. Their customer service rep named Jermaine helped tell your people "Carlo" on March 14th that there was NO problem with my PayPal account and a "hold" on your end was never necessary. That you got your money on the 10th. The day of my purchase.

    He also asked if for my trouble you would give me some sort of discount and your rep said no, if I would have paid with my credit card they could but since I paid through a 3rd party they couldn't. #1. PayPal rep and I both pointed out that I did indeed use my credit card via PayPal or the purchase would have never taken place. #2. How ridiculous that is and more. So I didn't even get a discount but you got to steal my money for 6 days and have it sit in an interest bearing account somewhere???

    I was finally sent an email confirmation on the 14th, the day I had to have PayPal on the phone to get any answers at all. Then I had to wait another 24 of the 48 hours I was told two days before I had to wait but never told why (after like my 10th phone call to your horrible customer service department) before I got a phone call about a delivery date. If I hadn't taken screengrabs of my purchase I would had absolutely no proof that I bought anything with an order number on it and you could have just kept your fridge and my money. Great way to do business.

    The fridge was finally delivered on the 16th when you did whatever with my money that there was never a real issue with to begin with. It had a messed up drawer that your people had to come back out on the 20th to put a food grade silicone on. I will never purchase anything at any of your stores or online again. What you did is tantamount to theft and then I get blamed for using a payment service billions use daily, which literally uses my credit card as to why I am not allowed a discount for this ridiculous activity. Unbelievable.

    We've turned our attention to giving ABC Warehouse our business for our stove, washer and dryer. Your final customer service rep "Carlo" the one who emailed me the confirmation emails (yes, he intentionally sent 2 to make sure I got one) blamed your incompetent customer service department as to why a hold got put on it to begin with but never elaborated. Just blameshifted. All of the others claimed I couldn't even get a confirmation email every time I asked and finally began demanding one and were complete morons. I have no idea how you're still in business.

    Oh, yes, they also had my name as Tiffany Default in one section on online crap. But also knew it was Tiffany **. I asked them if this could have been why this happened and default was a computer setting not a last name. They replied no. I was also told by your fraud department who they also sent me to that there should never have been any kind of hold on my money and to tell them it was "auto accepted" and to take the hold off. They refused. I am seriously disgusted. Dealing with life threatening medical illnesses, palliative and hospice care and do not need anymore Sears stress. Stop sending me surveys.

I have demanded to speak to a supervisor at Sears who again puts me on countless holds. I demanded a return contact name and number from the supervisor only to be given a bogus number.

The assigned company's tech came out and said that the heat exchanger had to be replaced. It took 8 days for the part to arrive. When I called Sears about this delay and not having heat in the middle of winter, Sears basically said that it is our problem and they cannot do anything about it. After 8 days when the part arrived, it was the wrong one. With the snow storm and biting cold we were without heat for another spell. Again, when I called Sears, they said that there was nothing they could do about it. I requested that they refund me the $100 service fee at the very least - a courtesy that they could offer. They refused. Bottomline, their approach is "deal with the problem. We'll not go the extra mile".

To start things off it took over two hours for my transaction to be complete when I first went in to make my purchase. Yes two hours... and that doesn't include my time trying out some floor models! That's how long I was kept waiting due to errors from the sales associate. Now don't get me wrong I was annoyed but I kept my composure through that process... now comes the fun part!

    I was guaranteed delivery of my new bedroom set on March 16th. So thanks to the crappy window of opportunity that Sears gives you for delivery I took Friday the 16th off from work. The Thursday prior to this I got a phone call stating that delivery would in fact happen the next day. Come Friday guess what... I get a call that says that they never picked up my mattress set so they wouldn't be able to deliver it! Keep reading on for more "fun"!

    I talk to the manager to get this whole situation figured out and I'm already annoyed and livid. The manager assured me that delivery of my set would happen on Monday March 19th (today). And I'm sure you can guess what happened. I get another call this morning stating that they don't have a truck avail so they can deliver... and yes I took another day of work off! That's two days that I took off so I could get this set into my place and two failed attempts because of an error from Sears.

    I call customer service to address this issue. All they say is "I"m sorry and we feel bad for you but just wait until later in the week when they can deliver"!

    We bought this Kenmore side by side refrigerator 10 months ago. We bought it because we had one like it before, only white, this one is the stainless look. We had the other one about ten years, and had it repaired a couple times, no problem. About 4 months ago the ice maker started slowing down to nothing, then the refrigerator part, and freezer part started not cooling proper, had to turn it all the way up and still is not working right. I called for a service, they had no info on us buying a new one, over 1000$. Finally worked that out, but still every time I call the first thing they say is, "I have no info on you". The service people set an appointment, a 5 hr, window **.

    The service man came. Said he found the problem, ordered the part and would be delivered to my house the following week, no part! I called the following week to see what is going on they said the part was back ordered? Would be 30 days. I told the service people my fridge is broken (needs an evaporator fan?), so I will have to go with a broken fridge for thirty days. I told the people, "You need to just replace it if it is going to take that long to fix", they said no. I told them,"Had you told me it would take 30 days to fix the fridge if it broke I would have never bought it." I really think this is BS. 30 days to repair my fridge? **, give me a new one! Right now we will never buy another fridge from Sears, or a Kenmore because of this. I will be posting this all over the internet also.

    Updated on 03/22/2018: My New Kenmore refrigerator has been down now for three weeks now, with services scheduled, parts back ordered, finally getting the parts, different service tech coming out and saying nothing wrong with the part he was to replace. Problem still exist. Another service scheduled, more time missed from work now.

    Updated on 04/04/2018: So today will be the fifth trip to get my refrigerator fixed. Not cooling properly, and ice maker not working. The repairmen, four different, cannot seem to fix it, order parts with no avail. Each time I schedule an appointment, I am given a 4 hr window. So now I have worked around 16 hr of repair windows, today will make it 20 hr, only to have the repairman there no more than 20 min??? Each time. At what point will they stop wasting my time, and theirs. With all the hrs already wasted on my side and theirs, could have just replaced the fridge and been done with it.

I have had to make the inquiries as to whether or not the parts were available numerous times. I have requested early morning appointments as I have school-age children and I drive them to school. This whole ordeal has been the most frustrating and anguishing experience.

    After requesting an early appointment as schedule, the best they could do was between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The first time the technician came out it was closer to 2. Today, the same appointment between 10 and 2 p.m. was scheduled. At 12:00 I contacted Sears to find out the ETA even though I had signed up for the text alerts. When I called the 1-800 number and automated voice told me my appointment would be between 2:30 and 4:30 p.m. After going through the automation to speak to a representative the representative told me my appointment was scheduled between 10 and 2 and that he would have the technician get a hold of me.

    At 1:50 p.m. Tim from Ohio called to advise me the technician was running late and his schedule. He would probably be at my home between 2:45 and 4 p.m. This is the time when I have to leave to go get my children. This put me in a very difficult situation, do I leave and try to be home before 4 so that the technician doesn't leave a sticker on my door saying reschedule or do I leave my kids at school until after the technician shows up. He confirmed that in all likelihood the technician would not be at my house until closer to 4 and that he would not wait for me because he had five more appointments scheduled after me. I left my house immediately to go to the school 25 minutes away and wait outside the school building until 3:25 for my children to run to my car. Once I arrived at the school, I called Sears to complain about their service and that once again they have put me in a very aggravating situation.

    I demanded a supervisor. I was then in touch with the same person Tim in Ohio after requesting a person in North Carolina where I live. Well I was on the phone with Tim, when the technician called me to advise he would be at my house by 2:15. THIS brought me to tears, totally frustrated and pissed. I told Richard the technician, that based upon Tim, I am at the school parked and waiting until 3:25 to get my kids. Had Tim not said to me well "you got to go get your kids" I would have been at my house and probably picked up my children after his work was completed all within due time of the school exit. Now I'm at the school and screwed. Luckily for me, Richard will go take lunch, see another client and be at my house after 4. Hung up with Richard, and told Tim I was going to write a wonderful review for Sears.

    This is the latest and last time I will ever use Sears. The times before for a replacement glass on my oven. The female technician who replace the glass in my oven was the same technician who came out on my dryer in December. Not a friendly person rather rude. After all of this frustration anger and heartache I would strongly recommend you stay as far away from Sears home warranty services as possible. Unless you enjoy getting automated phone calls that call your home and hang up on the second ring without leaving a message {caller ID showed Sears as the caller}, only to have to call the Sears 1-800 number to find out what they wanted doing this numerous times. Never getting the requested appointment time or having a technician show up within the appointed time window slot and if they do show up being rude. And basically dealing with the worst company around.

    Knock yourself out. If you want to waste your money on a Sears warranty that offers Maintenance Cleaning but we really do it. Have at it. As for me and my family we are staying as far away from Sears as possible! Richard showed up to fix the dryer and he is the only thing good about Sears. He explained he has no control over scheduling as they are now using computers to schedule appointments, so it does not matter what time you ask for, the route is generated by computers and adjusted by people in another state looking at the schedule. Instead of using people to give customer service you're at the mercy of a computer. Forget that! Sears had better give Richard a raise or risk losing him to another company. Poor man has to enter the home of really angry frustrated people, and he is not the cause of the problem, the management is!

I made a maintenance appointment to get my kitchen and laundry appliances checked out. They only service our area on Tuesday and Thursdays, I took time off of work to be home for appointment. Called multiple times to confirm that I will get a morning appointment and at 10 am no one has shown up, I called again and they said that they have me down for an afternoon appointment. I had to cancel appointment and I did not reschedule because the customer services people made empty promises and manager was rude when I asked if they could come out on another day!

The technicians keep flaking on the scheduled appointment time without letting me know. I'm having to call and hear the automated system giving me a different time slot from what I was given.

    Unfortunately we purchased new kitchen appliances 3 years ago through Costco. We purchased the Sears Home Warranty to cover issues that we may run into. The LG refrigerator is a total POS. Twelve months after purchase the compressor went out... We had to wait 4 weeks for repair from the Sears Home Warranty coverage. Twelve months later the compressor went out again. This time our agonizing wait for repair, so far, has been 6 weeks with no end in sight. They are currently suggesting another 2 weeks before they will be here to repair. So my Sears Home Warranty has left me without a refrigerator, having to use an ice cooler, for 3 months!! Mind you, we pay monthly for this Sears Home Warranty and this is the level of service they deliver. Keep in mind not a mile away is a Sears store with no less than 30 refrigerators on display.

    One would think that if Sears is going to accept monthly payments for providing a homeowner coverage against issues that may arise with appliances they would repair covered appliances in a timely manner. If they were not able to deliver on their promise of appliance repair coverage they would grab a new appliance from their store, deliver to the homeowner to temporarily replace the broken appliance until such time as they can get the appliance repaired and return to the homeowner... Or, Sears need to own the fact that they cannot deliver on said insurance coverage repair and return the monthly payments and stop defrauding the public by collecting fees for service they have no intention of delivering on!

    My electric lawnmower would not start. I contacted the local store and was given the customer service number to get repairs that were under warranty. The store said they did not do repairs. I called the Sears customer repair line and was told to take the mower to the store for repairs. I tried explaining to several people that the store no longer did repairs but they would not listen and insisted I take it to the store. The store people said they could not order a repair and the mower would be seen if a technician happened to visit the store. After six weeks I picked the mower up, unfixed and started calling Sears again. It took over 6 months and many wasted hours on hold to finally get repairs. You are never allowed to speak to a manager or someone who can act with authority. Never again.

    On Nov 23, 2017 we were delighted to find a Samsung Double Electric Wall Oven (NV51K7770DG/AA) on sale in AUBURN MALL 385 SOUTHBRIDGE ST AUBURN, MA 01501. We were thrilled that we will be able to afford such a unit and install it in our new kitchen. We called the store asking to set up a delivery for us (since we live in Richmond, VA) and they informed us that, since this is a floor model and all the packaging was thrown out by the store associates after initial installation, we would need to come and pick up the unit ourselves. We still thought that we were in luck - we were about to border a plane to fly to Boston to spend Thanksgiving weekend with the family. So by the end of the weekend we made it to the store, picked up a beautiful oven, rented an SUV and drove through the night home.

    That was in November. Now we are in March. In those four months we discovered that the store has sold us a DEMO (!!!) unit as a floor model. Unfortunately, as confirmed by Samsung rep, this DEMO NEVER was supposed to function as a real oven. We have been talking to Sears customer service, the store, Samsung for all this time without any resolution. Sears customer service tells us to call the store, the store does not pick up the phone, we leave messages and no one calls us back. Needless to say that this will be our last purchase in Sears outlet forever!!!

    Back in July, a technician ordered parts to fix fridge and stove. We returned the parts because we decided that since the house was for sale, the new owners could decide what they wanted to do. They might want to buy new appliances since the new parts were expensive. I received the refund for the fridge parts, but have been waiting since the end of August 2017 (!) for the refund on the stove parts. I have the UPS confirmation that the parts were received, but every time I call, they say I will have the refund in 7-10 days. I have filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission.

    Their return policy is a strict 30 days. I received 18 boxes piecemeal from my order within a two week period. That's two weeks in the 4 weeks they allow for returns. I had the flu for two weeks which made things a little chaotic personally and professionally. Once I was feeling better I foolishly attempted to return the clothing 3 weeks beyond return date. The North Brunswick NJ store couldn't make an exception and the Customer Service rep on the phone also basically said I was stuck with my $400 of unwanted clothes.

Then they offered to replace with a microwave that does not recirculate which will not work for over the range. Also would not let us talk to a supervisor. This is the third time they have been called to repair something and refused to do so, and we still have to pay the $100 service charge for them to come out.

    Washing machine failed when water hit control board. Called Sears on Friday and was given an appointment between 1 PM and 5 PM on Monday the 5th. Called Sears on Monday at 4:30 PM and got an automatic response that serviceman would be here. Called again at 5:30. Got the same message but stayed on line to speak with a live person.

Technician arrived at 1:22 PM. He looked at the machine, banged on it a few times and said it was the control board. He said he didn't think it was covered.

    I wait a week for maintenance that I believed was covered under the extended warranty I purchased only to be told it isn't covered. He quoted me a price of $631 to repair the unit. So much for a warranty. The washing machine didn't cost that much when purchased sixteen months ago. Called to cancel the extended warranty and was told to call back in 24 hours as the computer hadn't updated. Can never recommend a SEARS Maintenance plan to anyone.

    Don’t waste your money. We were having our stove serviced by a Sears technician and he suggested a home warranty. $75 a month to cover everything. We signed up and next time we called it took weeks to get someone out. They weren’t from Sears. They told us their report to Sears would be to replace our washing machine. After waiting I called Sears and they said they had no report. 2 days later I called them back and they said the repairman had called in and reported there was nothing wrong with our washer. I called and they said they could schedule a different repair person to come out for another 100 deductible. Did not think that any service vendor could be worse than Time Warner but this is the gold medal winner. Please don’t sign up for a Sears Home Warranty. It is like burning your money.

After a bunch of problems we called to cancel service. Rep was kind of rude/dismissive. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told there was no supervisor, and she literally asked “what do you hope to accomplish talking to a supervisor?” Immediately canceled service and was charged $135 on top of the $80 we paid for the one visit these people actually showed up for.

    I began my 1 year contract with Sears to cover all my kitchen appliances when I lived in Texas and had to have my refrigerator repaired. I opted to begin the warranty at $40/month rather than pay over $300 to repair the fridge on my own. They took care of it, although it took about a month with several visits, to get it completed. After several months, I moved to Wyoming. I called to see if they would transfer my warranty and was told they did not do that but they would start a new, 1 year contract for my new residence. If I did not renew the contract, I would owe the full amount of repairs from the previous address. I was not opposed to having a warranty so I complied, although the monthly fee was now $50/month instead of $40/month like when I began.

    Now I've been paying this $50/month for almost 1 year and my dishwasher door begins leaking out the front vent when the door is open. Turns out the problem is because the door cannot be adjusted correctly due to the poor GE product and the home warranty fine print says they do not cover doors. I know that legally they have covered their rear ends but a dishwasher with a faulty door is quite useless. I now have to take care of this problem myself after I've paid a $75 service call fee to the appliance repair shop and $600 to Sears over the past year. Do yourself a favor and put money into an emergency fund so you can pay for repairs yourself when they are needed. It may seem cheaper at the time to buy a warranty but there is no guarantee they will cover whatever ends up breaking.

    I had the Sears Home Warranty for a full 12 months and the entire time I dealt with individuals who lied to me, lied to Sears and company policies that allow their employees to do it. There is no accountability for this company or their employees. Initially, I had Sears comes out to fix my refrigerator freezer door alignment. The tech checked the type of water filter cartridge and broke the dispenser. He then shut the water off to my fridge saying that I now needed to have a new water supply purchased and installed.

    This was my first dealings with Sears Home Warranty. I was naive and the tech convinced me that it was somehow broken. This cost me over $300.00 to repair. A week or so later a new tech comes out to replace the water supply line and he forgot to bleed the line before he left so the ice maker didn't start working. I called back and another tech came out to bleed the line and got the ice maker working. Within approximately 1 month the ice maker stopped working. I scheduled an appointment to have it checked out again.

    The day of the appointment the tech called me and told me that I should wait until after 90 days so my warranty would kick in and the ice maker would be covered. I come to find out the work that they completed on the ice maker was covered for 90 days and he was trying to have that warranty expire only to have it appear as a new issue and I would have to pay the $100.00 service charge for them to come out. This is where my first complaint came in. A supervisor finally called me back and apologized and sent a different guy out to my home where they just replaced the ice maker entirely. Keep in mind, this refrigerator is only a couple years old and never had a problem with the ice maker before the first visit.

    The supervisor was going to look into refunding a portion of the ice maker/ water supply line and water filter costs, but never called me back. Next issue was my secondary condensation line was dripping on my HVAC. I called Sears and they sent out a HVAC contractor to inspect. The guy walked into my home, I told him the secondary line was leaking when the AC was running and he immediately told me it was not covered. I asked that before he tell me something is not covered that he inspect it. He then told me that he was gonna go ahead and leave and let Sears know to send someone else out. I told him I didn't understand and was there a reason why he wouldn't go in the attic to inspect the cause.

    He didn't answer and said that he was just gonna leave. I called Sears then and they advised that the contractor reported that he found it was a clogged primary line causing the secondary line to leak and the item was not covered. I told them that was a downright lie. He literally took 2 steps inside my home and told me that the item wasn't covered. There was NO inspection. I told Sears that there is a color to the water that appears to possibly be rust coming out of the line and that doesn't indicate to me that the primary would just be clogged.

    They gave me a couple other HVAC contractors to call to try and schedule. Not one of them had good reviews in Yelp and not one of them actually called me back. I told Sears about this 2 times and they told me that they were just going to close the issue. I requested to speak to a supervisor. I advised that the issue is not closed and no one has ever even inspected it let alone do anything to fix it. I was advised a supervisor would call me back and I never received a callback.

    Because I have yet to receive good service or an actual warranty for I paid for I decided to cancel my plan as soon as the year contract requirement was up. I called in on 2/26/18 to cancel the plan and unfortunately Sears charged my card that day for the monthly membership. I canceled the plan and received a confirmation #. I was advised that the $69.99 charge would be refunded to me within 3-5 business days. 5 business days from 2/26/18 would have been 3/5/18. I checked my account daily and today, 3/6/18 I called again to follow-up. I was advised that my request to cancel and confirmation # are on my account, but the cancellation actually did not get processed.

    It would now get processed and my $69.99 charge will take another 3-5 business days to be refunded to me. I told the representative this is unacceptable and I wanted to speak to a supervisor. She advised that a supervisor would need to call me back and it would be 48-72 BUSINESS hours before I could expect to receive the call. I advised that I would be checking back in if I do not hear back from a supervisor within 3 business days. She said that it is not 3 business days and that it is 72 business hours. She told me that they only count 8 hours per day Monday-Friday. I questioned, "You are telling me that it could be up to 9 business days before a supervisor will call me back?"

    She confirmed that is correct. I let her know at that is ridiculous and told her that I am questioning the business practices of Sears Home Warranty to make their customers wait 9 business days. This does not seem accurate. She said that it was and that was all she could do. I am an incredibly unhappy customer and Sears did nothing for me, but cause me frustration and take my money. Their employees and practices are shady and unethical. I will never do business with this company again.

I contacted the repairman and he said they sent the wrong brand and parts to him and he would have to re order.

    I waited ANOTHER 2 weeks and could never get ahold of him again. I called Sears Mid Feb 2018 and they sent out a different repair guy to fix my issue, he ordered parts and scheduled a comeback on 23 Feb. On 23 Feb Sears came back out with a different guy who had no notes from the previous guy, this is when we found out still not all the parts have came in and the "sensor" they had ordered has no tracking number. So they reordered the parts AGAIN and scheduled me for 7 March, of course I just found out that the part has still not been ordered and they do not know where it is. They are telling me to give them another week to research things and MAYBE they will have an answer by then.

    I tried to cancel the warranty because they are no fulfilling my service agreement and was told I cannot do that without paying for the labor for the technicians coming out so far and the first technician I have to pay for the part he replaced (that did not fix my dishwasher)! This is the worst customer service I have EVER seen. I have been waiting on a repaired dishwasher from the company AND PAYING THEIR MONTHLY FEES AND TWICE I HAD TO PAY THEIR DEDUCTIBLE!!!

    Purchased a refrigerator Dec 28th. Was told that to have Sears install appliance that we had to purchase new water line, which we did. On day of delivery, the delivery team did not install new water line. They used the old line that was with the old refrigerator. Two weeks later, this line began spewing out water and damaged a closet floor that shared the wall with the refrigerator. I filed a claim with Sears, mid Janurary. Sears has FSA Logistix handling the claim. They have taken too much time to process and verify this claim.

    Today is March 6 and I am still waiting for my repairs. They had to see if my claim was legit, which I understand. They had to send another team out to see the closet area. Then they have requested three different quote updates. Now they have to look over all of the paperwork, decided whether it can be resolved. Then send it to the insurance company which could take up to 35 days to get a check based on FSA Logistix. So I am looking at not being able to get my floor repaired until April.

    This is not about the product, but about customer service. Before the tree was delivered I decided it wasn’t tall enough for my purposes, so I didn’t even open the package and returned it, in person, to my local Sears The Meadows #1668 in Las Vegas NV. I handed my package to the store clerk on duty, address labels and all still attached, and he made a phone call to find out what the procedure was to take my return. When he hung up, he turned to me and said, "OK, everything will be taken care of and you’ll receive a refund as soon as your return reaches the warehouse." I’m like “are you sure that’s all I need to do?” He assured me it was.

    That was over 4 months ago. Since then I’ve patiently corresponded with Sears/Kmart no less than 6 times by telephone, chat, email (one asking me to return the item first, another says "We didn’t get the item, you don’t get a refund") – I’ve even physically returned to the store. Except for the emails, each contact responded with “I’m sorry to hear that,” soon followed by “I can help you with that.” No one ever did. Finally I called my credit card company who initially reversed the charge. But Sears denied the decision and now they’re paid again at my expense (literally). So I’m guessing the item was stolen and also, I did get a reminder of one of life’s little lessons – don’t leave a transaction without proper credentials. In other words, a receipt. I only hope my “missing” little Christmas tree found its way to someone who might not have one if it hadn’t been for me. Sincerely… You’re welcome.

When I called to cancel (two weeks after my contract went into effect), they said the only way I could cancel would be to pay ANOTHER approx $280 to cover the two tech visits and parts for a machine that still is not working! I have complained to the BBB and will complain to any other site about this disreputable company. I am totally disgusted.

    Sears has deteriorated into having the worst service I have encountered. I purchased a refrigerator from them several months ago for $880.67. The delivery service kept calling to confirm the delivery, and then twice, on the actual day of the delivery as I was waiting for the item to be delivered, I got a call saying that they could not find my merchandise and would have to reschedule. They rescheduled twice. When the refrigerator was finally delivered it was damaged. The damage was cosmetic, in the form of multiple dents.

    The delivery man placed a call to the dispatcher and offered me a $250 Sears merchandise credit which I declined. Customer service then rescheduled the delivery of a new refrigerator and told me they would pick up the damaged unit when they delivered the new one. On the designated delivery day, once again I received a call telling me that they did not know where my merchandise was and that they would have to reschedule it once they located it. At that point I was so upset that I canceled the order and told them to come pick up their merchandise. The same fridge was available through Best Buy and I was sure the purchase process through them would be much easier. After I canceled the order, Sears offered me a $250 cash refund to keep the unit I already had in my possession.

    I agreed to this because I was so frustrated. It is now over a month later and my refund has still not been applied. I have spoken with a slew of Sears customer representatives who have all given me their names and employee numbers to no avail. They all reassured me that this issue has already been resolved and I would see the refund on my account shortly. I just paid the full price on my Sears issued credit card so that I would not be late, in default, or charged interest. Sears has become a retail industry joke. There was a time I used to purchase all my appliances from them and use their services for annual maintenance. This will no longer be my appliance "go to" store in the future. What a shame. I am done with Sears.

    My daughter and son-in-law purchased the 3 yr repair warranty in 2015. It expires in a month. The servicemen come out to the house but then have to order parts which occasionally come quickly (within 3 wks). Icemaker still not working correctly. But serviceman said it was normal. Inside of microwave all rusty. Just normal. Wear and tear? Fan finally fixed on 4th visit. But the big complaint is the washer repair. Over the washer repairmen have come out over a dozen times. Washer got worse after some repairs. Once when I was there front of washer fell off on first load washed. Today washer bars were replaced. First load washer pumped out water into floor. We have massive flooding laundry room, hall, living room, foyer. Rugs soaked water under furniture. Repairman had said washer would rock. Said it was normal. They said they may send another repairman???

    I scheduled repair service for a range and refrig. I was told the 1st available date was 3 weeks out and that the repair appt. included both appliances. The repairman showed up and said he was only trained to repair range & that I would need to make another appt. 3 weeks out for the refrig. I called Sears warranty customer support, they told me I could find a non-Sears local repair and have them submit a claim to Sears but the repair service would have to accept 3rd party billing.

    The refrig is a Samsung, purchased from Sears. When I called local repair services most do not repair Samsung and the 2 authorized repair services listed on the Samsung website for Honolulu do not accept 3rd party (warranty) payment. I spent the better part of a day on the phone with Sears and trying to find a repair service for the refrig. This experience, coupled with one a year ago in which I waited all morning for a Sears repairman who didn't show up, has left me very dissatisfied with Sears and their warranty plan. I told them I would pay for the range repair and wanted out of the warranty plan as their service had been totally unsatisfactory. I also asked for a refund for the 3 months I had been enrolled in the plan as they had not delivered the service I been led I could expect. They refused. I definitely do not recommend Sears repairs or their warranty service plan to anyone in Honolulu. Perhaps it is different on the mainland.

    My Sears Kenmore has several attachments that enable me to clean corners, crevices, etc. I got it from my Mom and it is still running after many years.

    I placed an order for a new refrigerator on February 25, 2018 and had a delivery date of the 27th. I never received an email or call as promised for my 2 hour window time frame for delivery. I went through the Act of Congress and still is to this day. I was told that my order is on hold and I needed to verify my information. I was then transferred and told that my bank never sent the money over, but how can you even place an order without money on your debit card. I called my bank, my rep stated that Sears took their money on the 25th with nothing pending. I called back, a rep stated it could take 24 hours and was given another number to call. The number that was given to me was bogus! I am very angry and frustrated because no one is giving me answers, and hundreds of dollars has been taking from my account, and I don't have my refrigerator! Hopefully someone can help me out because this is wrong!

    Contacted Sears customer service to make an appointment to clean my air ducts. She requested my property square footage, how many stories, and the number of vents. She never asked what my duct system was made of - metal, plastic or fiberglass. She then requested my Amer Express account information. At my scheduled appointment the Sears technician stated he could not clean my air ducts because my duct system was made of plastic. He charged my husband $45.00 for the trip out and placed it on his Visa card. Sears could have saved me $45 and themselves some time by asking what my duct system was made from during my initial contact with customer service.

    After all of this, I received my American Express bill and found I had 2 charges from Sears on it. One was for $121.00 and the other for $341.00. Called Sears and the customer service representative told me she couldn't handle it and would have a manager call me back. The manager never called back. Now I must work with Amer Express to get my money back. The "Sears Clean" do not know what they are doing. I was charged $507.00 to be told they could not clean my plastic ducts.
