Technician did diagnosed the problem on the 17th, and said that defrost heater part needs to be ordered and it will take up to 10 days; I wanted to expedite the process (family is flying in for Easter weekend); good thing that I called, because Sears is claiming that they did not receive anything from the technician and they can not get in touch with the technician.? Sears can not get in touch with their employee? I have been calling for 3 days and keep getting the runaround and transferred to different departments and companies from phone operators in US to India to Pakistan to Philippines and back again and then I get disconnected. Can someone advise what to do? Time logged-in minutes: 367

I called on a Sunday for a refrigerator repair. I was guven an appointment. I was scheduled for Monday. They were a no show. I called Monday and they of course said it was Tuesday. I have an emIl stating Monday. They gave several excuses and apologies with promise of a gift card and reward points for the inconvenience. I didn't receive either. They rescheduled for Tuesday. They show up but no part. I was rescheduled for Friday 4-19_19. They cancelled. They were rude. Some rep called Greg was the worst. Nothing we can do you just have to take what we have which is now Monday. So ive missed 3 days of work for on false promises and broken agreements by this horrible company. I now must must take another day off and hope they show. I have 2 children and no refrigerator for food but Sears got their money. Thank you Sears for allowing me to loose vacation days, food and additional money on takeout.

My first appointment the Tech was supposed to arrive between 8:30AM-12:00PM. The guy Brian H never showed and never called to notify. I scheduled off work to attend. I was pissed! The second appointment the guy was an hour and a half late on a Friday. It was past 6:30. He took 1 look at my dryer and said because the model and S/N were missing he couldn't touch it. The Sears reps and managers have hung up on me multiple times as I have requested a refund. 2 reps stated that I would receive the refund but I still haven't. I am going to post on every website and keep calling until I get my money back for the $49.99 warranty plan.

Like so many others, I would not give Sears any stars if that were possible. A Sears repairman, Errol, had to come the other day to find out what why our kind-of-pricey (for us), LG dishwasher that is less than a year and a half old, wasn't working---again. He fiddled with the bottom and said there was power to it, so he would have to check it further. After telling us it was $99. Just to come and find the issue, he NOW said it would be ANOTHER $50. To 'look at other areas of it to find the problem'! Are you kidding me? (So now it was $149. Just to find out what the problem was---and this was NOT what was ever said to us when we called for repair appt.)! I was shocked at that, and it didn't seem right, but I said to go ahead. After a few minutes (he couldn't even get the dishwasher out of it's spot until I fiddled with a screw myself, as my husband was at work)! He then said it was one of 2 parts (both unreasonably and extremely expensive). He now had the thing in pieces, when he casually said "I will see which it is and then come back in about 2 weeks and fix it". I was again surprised, and I told him that I thought it was odd and unprofessional of him to go through all of this and to not have told me AT THE OUTSET WHEN HE FIRST CAME AND MENTIONED THAT IT WAS 'ONE OF 2 THINGS', THAT HE DID NOT HAVE ANY PARTS, AND COULD NOT FIX THE MACHINE THAT DAY, AND THAT IT WOULD BE ANOTHER 10 DAYS TO 2 WEEKS. This repair man was a complete idiot, and a liar as well. He got immediately huffy when I said that, as if a woman should never have the temerity to question him. He became loud and defensive immediately, and interrupted anything I tried to say. He said "well, I am not comfortable so I am going to put the machine back together and leave." I said "fine, but I am NOT paying you one dime. You did nothing". He then started to put the machine back, and while laying on my kitchen floor, sang 'We All Live in a Yellow Submarine' the entire time! Yes, folks, this is 100% true! He was really creeping me out by this time. He knew that he was in the wrong, and just left. (I noticed he did NOT file anything with Sears, and most surely lied about doing anything here, probably saying he never came in). After he left, I noticed he did NOT correctly put the kick plate back at the bottom of the dishwasher! It was splayed out, and one screw was lying on the kitchen floor. *(BY THE WAY, I IMMEDIATELY TOOK PHOTOS OF THIS AND I HAVE THEM). With the huge fee to just look at the dishwasher and what he was quoting me for what it could be, the bill IF REPAIRED, would have been well over $500.! THANK GOD I DIDN'T PAY HIM A DIME. (Later that day we ordered a Kitchen Aid dishwasher on sale at Home Depot). It's unfortunate that we had to get a new one, but it cost about what Sears stupid repair would have! Repairman 'Errol' is creepy and weird, not to mention unprofessional and intimidating, and Sears is the WORST retailer ever. As for their repair service, they are also as bad as they come. Save yourself a lot of aggravation and hire your service people from somewhere else. I am sorry this is so long, but I really wanted to let people know about our miserable experience with Sears Appliance Repair Service.(Needless to say we would never buy an LG appliance, or ANYTHING FROM SEARS, ever).

My 7 year old
Kenmore water softer has a leak in the brine tank. After reading the
Warranty which states after the first year I am required to pay a trip
Charge, (but doesn't say anything about labor) I assumed the trip charge
Is all I would have to pay. On
3/20/2019 a Sears tech was out & said I "would" have to pay for
Labor too. I asked him to show me where it says that in the warranty,
But he could not. He was only going by what his tablet was telling him. I
Said fine, just ship me the replacement tank & I will install it
Myself. I was a service technician for Hobart & a restaurant chain
For 34 years so I could do this with no problem. He said he ordered the
New brine tank & I should be receiving it in 5 business days. I
Never received the tank so I spent a lot of time on the phone with
Numerous people today. They said the tech didn't order a new tank &
That I could not install it myself. I had to pay Sears to install
It... Is it any wonder why Sears (who at one time was the worlds
Largest retailer) is going under? This is horrible customer service. I
Took the word of the tech that I would be getting the tank, but Sears
Will not honor the warranty as written.

They said if they fixed the mower they would apply the service charge to the repair. I didn't know how long it would take to repair the mower so I assumed it was a big job by the cost he quoted me. When it was fixed in 20 min I realized I had been over charged. Instead of applying the service charge he added it to the repair. When I called to get this fixed they refused to correct the mistake. Then a few months later they tell me they lost the check I paid them with and they want me to pay them again. They will not pay the stop pay on the check and threaten to mess up my credit if I don't pay them again. You can't trust them anymore.

Is there a -5 option? I won't bore you with the MULTITUDE of issues I have had with this company over the last 6 months. Looooooong story short, under no circumstances should you use this company for anything. ANYTHING

My family and I got a recommendation from one of the Sears employees in San Antonio, Texas to schedule a washing machine repair appointment with Sears at 1-800-4-My-Home.

On January 12,2019 we has our first encounter with a Sears's technician named Robert. Robert performed a diagnostic and informed us that we would need to have our water pump replaced and that he would order the part and return on the following Saturday 01/19/2019 to replace the pump.

We waited at home all day on Saturday 01/19/2019 for Robert and he never showed up nor did he call. My husband called and text Robert on his direct phone line and Robert did not respond. We then called Sears 1-800-4-My-Home to notify them of the situation. The Sears 1-800-4-My-Home representatives were very insensitive and dismissive. They said the most they could do to help us was to reschedule for a different date.

The following appointment was made for 01/22/2019 with technician William C. When Mr. William C. Arrived to our home to replace the water pump he found that the previous technician Robert ordered the wrong part. William C. Informed us that he was going to have to reorder the correct part and we were going to have to wait to have our washing machine repaired. My husband called 1-800-4-My-Home to speak with a Supervisor to report the issue. After being transferred approximately 4 times and being left on hold for approximately 15 minutes without having his issue resolved. My husband informed the 1-800-4-My-Home Sales Representative that he wanted a refund for the amount that he was charged on the initial visit in excess of the diagnostic fee. The sales Rep never transferred my husband to a Supervisor and told my husband that she was not going to refund his money due to the replacement part already being ordered by Mr. William C. My husband continued to request a refund and the Sales Rep told him that Sears would return the money.

The replacement water pump that technician William C. Reordered arrived to our house on approximately 01/25/2019. After a week of not receiving a refund and not having our washing machine fixed on 01/29/2019 I placed a call to 1-800-4-My-Home to inquire.

The 1-800-4-My-Home sales representative informed me that an appointment was scheduled to have the washer repaired on 02/07/2019. I explained the service tech how inconvenient and stressful the process has been for washer repair with Sears and informed her that my husband initially requested a refund. However, since we had already received the replacement part I asked her to cancel the appointment on 02/07/2019 and schedule for a sooner date with William C. For continuity. The service tech informed me the she could schedule sooner that 02/07/2019 but no guarantee to schedule with William C. I told her to please cancel and I would call back to reschedule.

On that same day (01/29/2019) approximately 30 minutes later I called back to 1-800-4-My Home and spoke to a lady who said her name is "Shaun" I asked her last name but she would not offer that information. I informed "Shaun" of my situation from the beginning about the issue with Robert and the incorrect part being ordered. I told her I wanted to be scheduled with technichian William C for continuity. "Shaun" informed me that unfortunately she cannot schedule me for a repair appointment before 02/07/2019. I asked her why? She said "My computer will not tell me why."

I told "Shaun" that I have little children at home who need clean clothes and this has been an inconvenience and asked if she could please help ease the worry and stress by scheduling me with William C. For continuity and a date sooner that 02/07/2019. "Shaun" replied that I do not have that capability. I then asked to speak to a Supervisor. "Shaun" put me on hold for 15minutes. When "Shaun" returned to the phone she said. "Please keep holding I don't know if there is a department to send you to."

I then contacted Sears Home Service Chat Online for help. My chat session was with Robert Jone. I transcribed a detail message to Robert explaining my situation. I pleaded with Robert to please help me due to the inconvience that has been brought on my 3 little children. Robert acknowledged understanding. Robert scheduled me for next day appointment on 01/30/2019 with William C.

Overall I don't normally place customer service complaints. However, in this particular situation the initial service technician (Robert) that came on 01/12/2019 was dishonest. He lied about the date that he would return to repair our machine and he did not order the correct part. Secondly, the representative name Shaun at 1-800-4-My Home deliberately placed me on hold and did not try to accommodate my needs and resolve my issue. She lied about "looking for a department to send me to" when I asked for a Supervisor. This is absolutely unacceptable! On 2 occasions "Shaun showed her incompetence. #1 by dismissing my concern and placing me on hold because she does not know which department to send me to so I can speak with a Supervisor and #2 Her colleague on Sears Home Service Chat schedule me a repair appointment for next day (01/30/2019) when "Shaun" said that there were NO appointments available until February (02/07/2019 to be exact). I personally feel that if Sears truly values their customers and wants to hold to their motto "Service You Can Trust" Leadership and the Corporate Office will acknowledge this issue and never let treatment like what I have received happen to anyone else ever again!

This service costs roughly $53 a month. Over one year it will cost roughly $636 in a year. Set that aside for yourself so that whatever junk appliance you own breaks, you can just buy a new one instead of wasting your time with this useless service.

The ice maker on our Kenmore Elite broke several months ago. We called the service and they came out, assessed the situation and came back again to fix it. Within a few days, the unit broke again (same exact issue). The same technician was sent back to the house with an entire new (refurbished) unit. I came back to the kitchen, after he left, to find TWO holes in the wall. The coward left without telling anybody (bad on me for not checking his work). This repair almost lasted a month before it broke again (and, yes, same exact issue).

I called Sears Home Services on Tuesday, 10/24/18, asking for a different company to come out. They assigned a company for 10/30/18. Over the weekend I received a call telling me there was a computer glitch and my case was rescheduled. I called to complain and my date was changed to 10/31. I followed the instructions to call and confirm my new date. I heard nothing back. I called today (10/31) and was told the company could not contact to confirm the time because the wrong number was given to them. Mind you, they had my email and Sears' number to try to get in touch with me, but this is what they hid behind. The customer service rep said the best they could do on my time table is send somebody out on 11/12/18. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told one was not available and they would have to call me back today. I am still waiting.

This once storied company cannot go out of business soon enough! PLEASE do not waste your time with this service.

I warn everyone do not use this company for appliance repair. I scheduled thru my home warranty company and the tech never showed up. I was told the appointment was 1-5 pm and the tech never showed at 5pm. I called the warranty company who reached out to the tech and the tech said he was on his way so i waited. No tech still and it was 6:06pm. I called the home warranty again that no one showed and they reached out to the tech who told the customer rep he was finishing a job and would be on his way soon. At 7:40 pm i called the warranty company a third time to report the tech no showed and i will not reschedule the appointment and the home warranty company should not contract with Sears home services because they just made them look bad. After reading other reviews i see why the stores are closing.

My one piece of advice is stay away from this company! The reason I say this isn't so much how they repair your appliances, but how they keep billing you over and over. They had me pay in full like I expected when they were done looking at our appliance. Now five month later they are billing me again or telling me they will send a collection agency to me. They tell you to call *******459 M-F 8-7 EST. Give it a try and see what you get. What a joke they are!

Called Sears Protection Agreement office back as parts suddenly show up at my door the next day. Had called on the 23rd of July and the representative said to call back after five business days and the Lawn Tractor would be replaced. Parts showed up on 24th by some miracle. Called them back on the 30th of July, gave them the case number, and they said they had no record of the Lawn Tractor being replaced. False words as I finally got them to say they had the case number, but nothing was said about replacing the Lawn Tractor? Then I was told the technician was coming out to repair the Lawn Tractor with the parts that had come in. He came out in a bad rain storm, but he worked hard on the Lawn Tractor even though he got very muddy and wet. Took him about an hour just to get the tractor running with the new switch that the instructions were all wrong about. Once we got it started, he began work on replacing the other parts and was missing new bolts and washers as well as a transmission belt he didn't know he would have to have. I had told Sears this would happen because he wasn't able to check an inoperable lawn tractor, unless it was running. He ordered more parts, they came in, he will be here the morning of the 6th of August to work on the Lawn Tractor again. Mower deck and transmission still do not operate correctly, but he says it is normal?

Called for service appt. When freezer started improperly cooling... No appt. Available for 2 weeks. Day of appt. I get a Robo msg to reschedule my appt. I call customer service... They claim Tech got sick and went home. They will put me on a list and call IF SOMEONE ELSE CAN'T KEEP THEIR APPT... otherwise next available date is 2 weeks away. CRAZY... 1 month to get a tech. Meanwhile NOW in week 4 the freezer has taken a turn for the worse and l am experiencing food loss... Tech finally arrives whom WAS VERY PLEASANT... Worked on what he was able to... BUT NEEDED A BASIC PART WHICH OF COURSE WAS NOT ON THE TRUCK and had to be ordered. Next appointment 2 MORE weeks 2 days away... Whew 6+ WEEKS ON SOMEONE'S FREEZER... I call customer service to ask for reimbursement of my food loss... They argue that... Get this... THEY DON'T COVER FOOD LOSS THAT IS AS A RESULT OF MY... FREEZER BEING BROKEN... I argue... Well it WAS NOT BROKEN 4 WEEKS AGO... just in need of SERVICE... FROM THE TECHNICIAN I PAY FOR THAT YOU DID NOT PROVIDE ME IN A TIMELY MATTER and when you did he came with no part which now is costing me 2+ more weeks... Well sorry Maam we can't help you. Asked for a supervisor... Still waiting for a call from a supervisor... They say could take 24 to 48 hours... But "I ASSURE YOU THEY WILL TELL YOU THE SAME THING" said the customer service rep. What a pathetic excuse of a SERVICE COMPANY. Fly away Sears. You have completely LOST ALL RESPECT... Just disappear... What a sick joke you are Sears... Shaking my head.
