The policy of the insurance company is that they will replace or give a check to replace the covered item if it can not be fixed. Big Ten came out about five days after our initial contact, the technician said that a small part needed to be replaced and he had to see if they make it anymore. We were told that we would get a call to let us know when they could come install the part. Then we were told by phone much later that week that the part was no longer made. A phone call to the insurance company ended up with the insurance company saying they found the part and Big Ten would come out and install the part. When we checked in with Big Ten, we were told they could not come until the following week!
The technician came out, ran a dishwasher cleaner, installed the part, the dishwasher still did not function properly.
This time, Big Ten was to call the insurance company to say to say it could not be fixed. Big Ten's secretary, Tina called a few days ago to the insurance company to say it could not be fixed (this is a week after the technician was here). However, when we called the insurance company to check on the status last night, the insurance company needed more of a diagnosis as to why. They asked that the technician call in to give a report. This morning my husband began to call Big Ten to make sure they got the message that the technician needed to call. He also sent a fax to them. He has left numerous phone messages and no one has called back. We are on the phone now once again with the insurance company who says Big Ten still has not called in with a detailed diagnosis.
This process was begun (this time) in the last week of October. Here we are in the second week of December and we still do not have a functioning dishwasher!
Big Ten should at the very least answer the phone when calls come in on an open "account." We will never allow them in our home again and are thinking about finding another home insurance company as well.
