Warranty scam!
Complaint Rating:  100 % with 5 votes
I purchased a ge washer from sears with a 5 year warranty. It broke 6 months later took the 3 weeks to repair. it then broke 7 weeks later, technician came out and said we must have abused the washer, it will cost me $2500 to fix it!!?? this when there is a 5 year warranty! Bottom line if you need a major repair they will just void the contract with some kind of bogus lie! Spent hrs on the phone, final judgment voided contract! sears salesman can't believe it, never in 16 years has he seen an abuse claim on a washer. Sears must be getting desperate to save money!

Will be contacting my attorney, there is no way they are getting away with screwing me over.

Hi understand what you're going through. I got a a master protection plan for my TV. I told them if I could purchase this warranty since my TV had a PROBLEM. They told me yes I could and sold it to me. The technician came to my house 2 weeks later and told me that the TV was not fixable, I called Sears and they said that they would then replace it. I called 2 days later wondering when they would replace it and was told that they had canceled my warranty as they had no right to sell it to me in the first place because they aren't supposed to sell warranties on items with problems. I was never told of the cancellation and furthermore that's not my problem because I told them before hand that my TV had a problem and that's why I was purchasing the warranty, and since that's what I signed up for I should get my TV replaced. Well all they said is that they are sorry for the inconvenience. Are you kidding me!!! So I'm going to do everything I can to let others know that Sears screws over their customers!

Sears is the absolute worst for customer service and satisfaction. We bought a washing machine from them which started leaking brownish transmission fluid after 2 months. They said it was under warranty, but the LABOR would cost 275.00....my husband is a master electrician and master plumber, licensed and bonded..he told sears to just send him the part since it was under warranty and he would put it on himself. They said that under no circumstances could they send him the warrantied part unless their service tech installed it for 275.00. My husband has probably repaired well in excess of 200 washing machines in his 30 years of business.
I would NEVER purchase a Sears appliance, and tell all of our customers the same thing!!!!

Hi there, our fridge(an expensive model) purchased in '2000 on our Sears card account, broke just before this Easter 2008.

We called a technician from Sears, and he came out and told us that the freon(which keeps the heat out) had evaporated through a small hole somewhere, and that this particular problem was covered by warranty for 10 years. He left, and was going to file a report, and then we would hear from the company about replacing it etc.
We waited until the end of the week, and after not hearing anything from them we contacted the company about the situation, and we were told that we would need to produce the "purchase order number" in order for something to be done, even though they had the purchase date of December 9, 2000, and even the delivery date of December 15, 2000.

We are a military family and have moved since we purchased the fridge, and have such misplaced the original purchase order, and since we are unable to produce it, Sears will not honor the warranty for the freon of 10 years. My husband and I have been calling non-stop to different branches trying to locate the purchase number, or to trying to trace the number through the credit card, but have been unsuccessful, as the company is unable to pull-up the records because of the length of time. However, we as consumers are expected to keep a purchase order from 7+ years ago, but a big company like Sears is not...to me this is asking alot of consumers if Sears is not required to!!

So we made a last ditch attempt today and called Corporate Customer Service, and we were told that Sears would not be able to do anything about our situation unless we produced the original purchase order number. So after receiving no satisfaction, we are going to pay off our Sears card account and boycott Sears. We realize that we are only a drop in the pan for a huge corporation like Sears, but we also intend to tell others about what they have done, and let's face it word of mouth can be very powerful!!

Sears is a scam. I also have a washer and from day one it danced around the floor. They came out time and time again to adjust the belt. I called and told them to keep the junk they sold me and then Sears sent out two repair men who were jerks. Attempted to tell me this is the way we wash our clothes. Then started to show me the "proper way to load a machine." I got so upset I told them funny may last washer had no problems with how it was loaded and no matter how you load this junk MAYTAG now made by WHIRLPOOL it dances and I have washed clothes for over 30 years and done more laundry than they could ever begin to and to take loading lessons from two jerks was not going to continue. Even after I proved to them loading it makes no difference they adjusted the belt and said nothing was wrong with my washer. Now a year later it still dances I have no warranty and it is worse than ever. So I call Sears and told them hey your machine you sold me still has the problem from day one from when I bought it could you please help and send someone out again. You can guess the reply. No not for free. JERKS!!! SO I have a pile of junk I wash with and can't afford another. I think we should all take our junk appliances to the local Sears and drop it on the steps of Sears with junk wrote all over it and SOLD BY SEARS! Sears can't stay open with this way of doing things. Between bad credit card ways and repair ways everyone is finding out STAY AWAY FROM SEARS!!!
