I am completely satisfied with the service he provided, and I was able to complete my laundry that day rather than have to take sopping wet clothes to a public laundromat to finish my task.
As is standard practice with Sears, the cost of the service call was applied to the cost of repairs
Although we have a Home Warranty service, I prefer to call Sears for my appliances. I know they will use quality replacement parts, and are fully familiar with the brands they service. I have used Sears for years to service my appliances, and have never had a problem with them. I find they respond quickly do their work well.
I told them maybe I would just buy a new one instead, but they said I had to let them know right then so I told them to do the work.
The next day I got a phone call from a guy named Dan. He said he was a service tech from Sears and wanted to know if his part came. I told him I didn't know because it was supposed to be ordered. A half hour later I got a knock on the door and it was a guy from Sears delivering the part. No one told me this was going to be delivered, they said they were going to bring it Saturday. I called Dan back and he said he was going to come in a half hour. When they got here I told him he was lucky I was home to sign for it because I didn't know they were coming. He worked on the machine and fixed it. He then tried to charge me another $277. I told him I already paid for it and he said I didn't. It was even cheaper now than I was originally charged and I told him I should get some money back.
Now when I use the dryer I just pushed the button and it worked for 64 min, now when I hit the button it only runs for 19 min. I tried different settings that were supposed to come on for even longer than 64 min and they only came on for 22 min.
I called them back to let them know the machine didn't work and they didn't help. They then gave me a number for their "Blue Ribbon Service". I talked to Karl and they said they'd have someone come out and wanted me to wait for them between 8am and 5pm. This is the third time I've had to do this and I felt like they should schedule something. They said they would come Thursday at 8:00am and be the first call. He got back on the phone and said he had to change it to Wed. No one showed up on Wed. and when I called to let them know no one answered, they were closed because they didn't open until 10. He then said the service guy's truck broke down and he couldn't make it until 11:30. I was not happy that they didn't call. He then called the service guy who lied and said he already called. After lots of phone calls, I still couldn't get anyone to come out. I asked for a manager and they wouldn't let me talk to anyone.
Now they say they won't come to my house because I'm being hostile over the phone. They said I used profanity when I did not. They said they'd refund the money.
When the wrong part came, I packed it up, made a special trip to return it, and waited for my refund. When it finally came, they had not credited my $10.99 shipping. Convinced that this was a mistake, I got Customer Service on the phone (having given up on ?Chat?). The Agent, then his supervisor confirmed, that they had REALLY meant that they just weren?t going to charge me a second time for shipping ? not that they would refund me the first shipping I paid for the wrong part they recommended I buy.
I find this totally unacceptable! DON'T use Sears Parts Direct!!!
However, the labor charge of $200.00 for a 40 mn call represents an hourly labor fee of $300.00.
The $112.57 charge for a thermostat with a street price of $35.00 represents a 220% markup, which qualifies as price gouging.
My total cost for this repair is $70.00 less than the original cost of the appliance.
When I attempted to contact Sears Customer Service for an explanation, I asked to speak to a supervisor, was put on hold for 10 minutes, then disconnected.
On my second attempt, I was put on hold for 1 hour and 37 minutes, then disconnected again.
On my third try, the supervisor attempted to justify the cost by saying that it included a 90-day warranty on parts and service.
One would think a company pressured by poor performance would try to keep its customer base. Sears just lost another customer.
