JENSEN APPLIANCE & REFRIGERATION

HORRIBLE PEOPLE - THEY ARE COMPLETE CROOKS!!!!

DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS!!!! I am appalled by the owner, Randy, who came over to my house and diagnosed a ice maker problem and ignitor on a range in about 10 minutes. I was never told I would be charged 164.00, and i never got a bid or anything. He claimed my water line was kinked but never moved the fridge. Come to find out, the freezer was not maintaining temperature and was causing issues with the water and ice. I called Randy to discuss and he started screaming at me and hung up the phone.....this is the owner of the business, I have never encountered such a crook and unprofessional person in all my life. Please do not visit this business!!!!!

Warning: DON’T DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY! Jensen Appliance and Refrigeration Service. Heed other warnings in posted reviews. After 6 visits to my home and 2 cancelled appointments, my dishwasher leaks more than ever. I poured $800 into this “repair” at the urging of the owner who gave me a 5 year guarantee on parts and labor (written) and stated he would give me a refund if he could not repair it (verbal). He continued to come out making adjustments after replacing parts on two prior visits. When I called to report the leak continued and asked for a refund, he told me to take him to court and hung up on me. When I drove to the office to gather documentation of all 6 visits, I was told by office staff the court would say you have to give him the opportunity to repair it. I gave him another chance and he cancelled two scheduled appointments! This owner was extremely rude, arrogant and clearly not a man of his word. They may have swindled me out of $800 but I won’t allow them to rob me of any more time, energy, or belief in the honor and good will of most business people. I’ll be filing a report with BBB, sharing on Angi’s list, Yelp, and Nextdoor. Pass on this business. Please share widely. We all deserve better.

This company is the worst! He did repair jobs for me on built in microwave and dryer. The microwave stopped working after a couple of weeks. The drum for dryer lost all of the short screws so doesn’t work. When I called him he said I would have to pay a trip charge. Got in an argument with him and he said his work was only guaranteed for a month. I refused to pay the trip charge, arguing that he needed to come out and fix them. He told me to use another company if I didn’t like it. I have seen countless terrible reviews of Randy. He has had a lot of confrontations, and screams at people and has even locked them out of his business. I would NEVER use him again. He gouges the part prices to ridiculous pricing. He is nasty to deal with. ANY other company would do better than Jensen Appliance and the owner, Randy, who usually is the one who comes to do the jobs. Ps, also left the dryer drum and a huge grease mark on my carpet by the laundry, without a word about it. B TERRIBLE COMPANY, DONT EVER USE THEM!!!!

I’ve always trusted Jensen appliance to fix my appliances. They have fixed my washer, my dryer, my microwave, my oven, and even put a new disposal in for me in over the years. This time they came out and fix my refrigerator. They came out and they were extremely professional.

Both times the needed part was "on the truck" and we were back in business. I refer all my friends and neighbors to Jensen Appliance.

Love Jensen Appliance! They had to order parts, which were on a backorder, but as soon as they received the parts they gave me a call and were out the next day. The technician was friendly and knowledgeable. Will definitely call them again!

We were the proud owners of a beautiful 1962 GE Refrigerator. We spent three years trying to find anyone to replace the compressor and we were thrilled to finally find Randy at Jensen Appliance. We hired him and he did a great job replacing the compressor and wiring and paid $1600. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the pandemic, the defrost timer went out on the fridge. Money was tight so when he suggested $800 for a new defrost timer, I volunteered to look for an original part to bring down the price. Apparently, my offer was not received well. After a few months of looking for the part, and failing to find one, we tried to call him back. Unfortunately, he has refused to take our calls. We called his cell multiple times with no response. We called Jensen Appliance and were told a multitude of lies like he was busy or on vacation, etc, etc. We left many, many messages on his cell and at the office to no avail. We did get him on the phone once, said he was busy, but would call us back in 20 minutes. We never heard back. The only time Jensen Appliance cared about us as clients is when we were writing large checks. Today, I had to part with the 1962 GE for $460, a mere pittance in comparison to what we spent with Jensen. I am sitting here writing this review watching the buyer back out of the driveway with tears in my eyes. I had truly hoped Jensen was going to be my go-to for my multiple vintage appliances, but sadly I was wrong. Randy, if you read this, the only thing you deserve is this horrible review and a big middle finger salute! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!

When Kitchen Aid finally decided to replace my defective oven, they chose Jensen as the people to install it. They sent the oven to them and it apparently arrived within four days of shipping from Kitchen Aid. However, I did not hear anything from Jensen or Kitchen Aid until three weeks later. I called Kitchen Aid to find out when to expect my oven. They called Jensen who said it had been at their shop all that time. They told Kitchen Aid that they had called me, but I never received a call from them.

When I finally called them, we were able to set up an appointment for the installation within three days. They did not apologize or even comment on the fact that they had not managed to contact me when they received the oven from Kitchen Aid.

The installers were reasonably on time. I had to ask one of them to remove his shoes before he tramped through my entire house from the front door to the kitchen and to suggest to him and his partner to bring the oven in the back instead of carrying it through my living room. The two guys spent an hour or so installing the new oven and whispering to one another about how hard it is on them to have to work in an old house (my home is a vintage 1937 with a brand new kitchen). They did not leave me a receipt for the work or even a business card when they left.

The oven seems to work fine. It is a built in, so I hope that all the wires are in the right place, etc. However, after they left, we did notice two large gouges in the kitchen wall where they brought the oven into the kitchen. They did not apologize or even mention this damage to us.

Noticing other reviews here and on Google Review, I do not understand how a company stays in business when they are so rude and dismissive of their customers' needs. I would go to great lengths never to use them again.

We have been trying to contact him for the work and have not been able to reach him.  He kept saying he would call us back.  We went down to the store to talk to him about the service and asked him what he thought was fair.  He started screaming at us and threw us out of the store.

Appointment was easy to get.  Technician was on time.  Technician was polite, neat, and competent.  Repair has worked well.  The problem was value for the money.  The service call and labor (all within one hour) came to $145.  The total with the heating element and tax was $240.76.  This wasn't rocket science or brain surgery and wasn't worth the money.

We were not pleased with them. That might have been when we joined Angie's List. They were here, seriously, about 10 minutes and charged us $250. It was not the cost of the part; I just felt like it was a big overcharge. I will not use them again.

I called Jensen because of positive reports on Angies List. I needed the plastic soap dispenser on the diswasher replaced. That took two trips, and they suggested I replace a door spring. That was a third trip. They didn't seal the soap dish properly, so the dishwasher leaked. That took another trip. Since it had taken four trips for a simple soap dish, they offered to replace another part for free, but when the service person arrived for that, he wanted to charge us. They will not be in my home again.

During the walk-thru of our newly built home, we discovered that some of the burners on the gas stove would not ignite. The builder scheduled the service technician to come out to the house and replace the igniters. Although the service was free to us, the technician was very prompt and courteous and knowledgeable.

They did a great job. I was kind of surprised at the high price, but it is always more expensive than it should be. He came out to my house right away and got the repair job done very quickly.

I am very pleased with the service and the additional listing of those companies in my area that were sent to me.

The service people from Jensen's are very polite and prompt. I have been using them for a number of years to service my appliances and their pricing is always fair. This particular visit went with no surprises and was covered under the service agreement I pay to the manufacturer. I would recommend them.

I called and they said they could come out the next day, probably in the morning. I called them at 10:30 the next day and she was completely short with me. She told me they would be out in the afternoon and even though I called back 3 other times, they didn't show up until 5:15. Their hold music asked me to tell them how they're doing, and when I tried to do that, she was terrible! She made it seem like it was my fault. I don't think I'll use them again unless I have a complete emergency. It wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't have to wait around all day.

Sometimes I feel so vulnerable and defensive when dealing with the trades. The concern of being ripped off is so prevelant. Jensen arrived on time, and went right to work. Jensen didn't over charge, or perform unnecessary work. The young service man explained everything, answered all my questions, and was very professional and polite. He was at the house for less than 20 minutes and had the fridge up and running in just a few minutes. What a relief. It was a real pleasure to deal with Jensen. I would recommend Jensen to anyone, and everyone.

I was told when I called to report my problem that a technician could come the following morning. He called ahead, and I asked whether I should empty the refrigerator. He indicated that I need only empty the freezer, and that he would arrive in about 20 minutes, which he did. He identified the problem quickly, told me what he would do to correct it and that he had the part on his truck, and told me the cost. He worked efficiently, and solved the problem. I have not had any further problems.

Called Jensens to come out and work on it on a Thursday, they couldn't come until Monday. Monday came, no repairman. When I called, they said someone lost the ticket and they couldn't come again, until later in the week. Repairman was 3 hours late, arriving after 5pm. Took the machine back off, said that the bearings were blown, but he didn't know what it would take to fix it. Then charged time and a half, because he arrived (3 hours late) after 5pm. Called back the next day to say it would be another $850 to fix the machine. Called Sears and they fixed the machine for $298.00. Certainly won't call Jensen's again!

The repairman arrived at the scheduled time and was very professional and friendly. He clearly explained his diagnosis and scheduled a follow-up day to install a new circuit board that had to be ordered. He again arrived at the scheduled time and quickly installed the circuit board on the second visit, fixing the problem. I would use Jensen Appliance again for any appliance repairs we need in the future without hesitation.

Very professional, curteous, quick. Didn't have the part with them so they ran back to the warehouse to get it and were back in 15 minutes to finish the installation. I would hire them again.

It was easy to schedule an appointment and work with their personnel. They came to the house prepared with the right tools and replacement parts. I would rather choose this company over any other appliance repair service.
