Among the list was Central Appliance Parts. They came, assessed the problem and charged us nearly $1000 for parts and labor to fix it. To replace the ovens would?ve been closer to $3000 or $4000. Fortunately parts and labor were guaranteed for 1 year as written on our receipt.
Eleven months later the oven started to go again, so we called Central again and he came out. But he could not replicate the problem without food in the oven, because the steam rising off of the food is what is causing the control panel to fail (same issue he said caused it a year ago). So apparently, a year ago, he should?ve also addressed the seal, but did not.
So, he claimed that everything is working and that he cannot return the parts, because they are functioning. But for an oven not to function properly when food is in it (the normal use for an oven) should be in violation of the guarantee and thus covered.
He told us to take it up with Bosch. So I did. Now this might be hard to believe, but when I reported the issue to Bosch, they told us that the repairman was NOT a certified Bosch repairman and that they would not cover the issue. We reminded them that THEY were the ones who gave us this name and they denied it! Telling us to take it up with Central.
I immediately asked to speak to the highest ranking supervisor who told me the same thing, and if I wanted, I could write corporate to complain, but they weren?t going to do anything to honor their own mistake. Even though they had a record of our call to them a year ago!
Upon calling Central back, they refused to take ownership of the problem and said they would charge us for any additional work on the oven. Not honoring their guarantee.
Additionally, the constantly rude and useless receptionist accused us of fraud, saying it was suspicious that the oven just happen to break again right before the guarantee expired.
What kind of service is this? I STRONGLY urge you to avoid both Bosch and Central. Both are horrendous when it comes to customer service, not to mention morality.
