He arrived, asked me what was happening, then proceeded to tell me that it wasn't doing what I said. He then told me "go get me a ladder"-- very demanding and rude. I've never been treated like this from a repairman before. He then said this is the bad part and replaced it. It didn't fix the problem he had to come out again after a week. This time he told, me when I tried to tell him what was wrong and what the refrigerator was sounding like, "It isn't doing that and I'm not going to fix it or if you keep telling me this (what's wrong with the refrigerator) he's leaving my house and won't come back. I said "fine leave!" I wouldn't let him in any house. I think he is a crook. I reported him to the GE warranty company-- not to recommend or use him. I have never had an experience like this before or since. He doesn't know how to fix things just the cheap way to "fix" and charge you or the warranty company.
Description of Work: Refrigerator was not keeping temperature. Replaced a part-- I later find out is put on old appliances sucking a lot of energy to get the refrigerator to continue to get the compressor to work. I found out from another repairman it can cause fires if left on the appliance for an extended period of time. It also voids the original warranty. GE extended warranty sent him out.

They said the timer was the trouble, and they said it would cost close to $300 to replace. That's more than we spent on the appliance!
Description of Work: They came out and gave us an estimate for repair of a washer.

I told him to go ahead. I came to check on him-he had completed the task and he suddenly realized that the 'bail arm' was missing from the icemaker. He was very insistent that only way to resolve the problem was to replace the icemaker for $250. After completion he refused to give us credit for the visit charge stating work was to a different unit. Several days later I contacted Kitchenaid myself. The bail arm cost $5, the icemaker cost only $125. I faxed F&F Appliance on 10/3/05 stating these facts. Sam called back and told me he didn't know that they sold the arms and in fact had never checked even though he had insisted they did not. When asked about his pricing he stated that he needs to make a living. I requested our old icemaker back. After 2.5 months of promises to drop it off, I went to their office to retrieve it. I do not know how to install it so I'm stuck with the new one. Our icemaker now works - and should have done so for $5, not $499.
Description of Work: Diagnose ice machine. Sam gave a very high price for a compressor unit needed for an icemaker repair so instead I instructed him to disconnect the water supply from that unit and hook it to the automatic icemaker on our refrigerator. He refused to use our existing tubing and required the installation of copper for $200.

I CALLED THEM 6 TIMES AFTER IT WAS FIXED AND TOLD THEM WHAT WAS DONE AND ASKED TO SPEAK WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER TO GET THE $35 BACK AND NO ONE CALLED ME BACK.
Description of Work: I HAVE A FRONT LOADING WASHING MACHINE THAT WAS NOT DRAINING, THEY CAME OUT TOOK OFF THE FRONT PANEL AND TOLD ME I NEEDED A MOTOR DRAIN PUMP FOR $250 OR I COULD HAVE IT DONE THEN AND THERE FOR $210, I SENT THEM HOME, GOT ANOTHER COMPANY TO COME OUT AND LOOK AT IT. THEY REMOVED THE DRAIN MOTOR PUMP, REMOVED TOWEL STRING AND DOG HAIR, REPLACED THE PUMP AND IT WORKED PERFECTLY.
