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...

Sears I have lost all respect for sears!

We purchased a refrigerator freezer from Sears?in the spring of 2000. It was a problem from the get go. You could grow old waiting for enough ice to come out the door to fill a glass, but would find puddles of water and ice cubes on the floor whenever it felt like dispensing them. It was serviced numerous times (probably between 6-10 times) but everyone said the same thing... there is nothing that can be done because it is just the way it was made, they are all like that? We quit trying and just learned to live with it? On 06-21-2007 my husband went to get some ice from the door dispenser and noticed what he thought was steam coming out of the chute, so he opened the freezer door? He was in shock to find the upper portion of the freezer was ablaze... Yes... ON FIRE! He suffered burns to his hand putting the fire out? I called sears and they said that they couldn't replace it unless a repair person came out and said it needed to be replaced. Time lost...waiting for him to come and verify it couldn't be fixed.? I thank God that our whole house didn't go up in flames.? We lost all our food and had to live out of a cooler for a week or better, but they did bring us a replacement.? Of course, it was dented and a major downgrade from our original one, but they did leave it till they could resolve the issue (and of course they took the old one with them). I made numerous phone calls to the customer service #, and would have to wait on hold every time from 35 minutes to 1 hour to get to speak to someone. They finally sent out the right model, and again, it was dented. I have called so many people, so many times, that I feel like I should be on the payroll... IT'S RIDICULOUS! Everytime they deliver to us, the unit is dented, warped, or scratched.?I called them once after waiting for 2 1/2 weeks, just to find out they never reordered it. Then they delivered another damaged unit. I called the store immediately and they said they would reorder. A week and a half later it was to be delivered.? They called us Thursday night (after 8:30pm) to say it would be delivered between 3-7pm the next day. [protected] came and no delivery. At 8pm I called the store and was told that they couldn't find it that morning when they loaded up for that days delivery.? "And was anybody going to let us know that", I asked.? "you mean nobody called you", they replied. "We're so sorry". By now, "SO SORRY" doesn't cut it. I called the store the next morning when the only person there that knows what she's doing (Deanna in appliances in the Sears store in Wilmington, NC) was working. It wasn't there because nobody had ordered it like they said they had. Deanna took care of the order herself and yesterday evening they delivered REFRIGERATOR#8-yes #8! and again it had a 3-4 inch dent in the side.? I do not understand where they are getting all these damaged units from and how difficult can it be to get a refrigerator from point A to point B? without damaging it? I am so leary of the icemaker--it's the same kind as the one that caught on fire. They say it was some kind of heater unit in the icemaker that ignited? You can believe that I took pictures before they took the unit and have filed an incident report with the consumer product safety commission because I don't want to see this happen to anyone else!? I don't know what else we can do but keep receiving and keep sending back the damaged units. It's just so frustrating that we have been dealing? with this for months now without a resolution. One guy in the appliance dept. once laughed and said "man that beats our record of 5" (meaning 5 damaged refrigerators). I'm glad somebody can laugh at our setting records... CAUSE IT'S NOT US!? Sears, I have lost all respect for you. Many years ago I would buy things from you even if they cost a little bit more because I knew if there was a problem you would stand behind it and make it right... boy how times have changed!

Sears termination of an employee!

A friend of mine was just terminated because of a $60.00 mistake on a customers order and was interrogated for about two and a half hours not to mention all of the mental stress that was involved. Sears need to stop treating employees like dogs and treating them with respect, because they are not just employees they are friends and family of consumers. Needless to say I will no longer be giving my business to Sears or K-mart.

Sears non-refundable delivery policy

We bought an expensive "new but slightly dented" Kenmore washer at an appliance outlet. (We now think that the washer had been returned previously.)The delivery men did not level it or follow installation instructions. We had to do everything. The washer would not drain during the 1st & only time that we used it. A service code kept flashing & the machine kept beeping. We called the service number in the late evening and someone with a poor command of English yelled at us and said that we should instead call the store the next day. She could not tell us what the code meant, how to stop the beeping, or how to get it to unlock. We told the store to haul it away after spending much of the night hand rinsing and wringing out the clothes, after we finally managed to get it to unlock. We are still being charged the $60 plus tax delivery charge because it is "non-refundable." Efforts to get this resolved through customer service have been unsuccessful. We had been Sears credit card customers for 39 years. Not any longer.

Why do you people cry about how long you've had a sears credit card when you have a problem like that makes a difference? The store you had the issue with should have replaced the item or serviced it for free. You simply didn't ask the right questions and the associates at the store did not properly guide you to do so. Delivery fees at any retailer are non-refundable since little or no big box retailers operate their own delivery company. The outside delivery service must be paid for the work they did. The store should have taken the hit of the $60 in the form of a price adjustment on your purchase. I agree your purchase was not handled properly by the store, but your expectations about delivery are a bit off as well.

Sears lousy customer service and repair!

Four years ago I purchased a Sears Kenmore Elite in addition to an oven/stove combo which totaled over $7,000 from Sears. Yesterday, I scheduled an appointment for the refrigerator that is no longer working, which I certainly didn’t expect since Consume Reports had extremely high ratings – the very reason for the purchase. (It's internal temperature is a steady 58 degrees.) I scheduled a service call for 9/13/07 I was told the technician would be at my home between 1pm and 5 pm, and that he would call before arriving. If there was no answer he would not service, and I would have to reschedule. (Which put me in a position to have to speak to solicitors all day.) At 4:00 pm, a Sears representative called to inform me that NO ONE would be showing up to fix the appliance, and that I had to “reschedule”. I was astounded!

The next closest appointment was 6 days away on 9/12, and then I have to be available ALL DAY! I was told since SOME of the parts are still under warranty, I am unable to call any other repair service, so I am technically held hostage by Sears. Everything that was in this state of the art refrigerator which we paid a couple of thousand dollars for has now spoiled.

I called to speak with the sales person who received the handsome commission from our purchase and it was no surprise that he was no longer there. I did speak with the Large Appliance Department Manager, Chris Devans, in the Danbury, CT store, who when I pleaded for assistance, told me, “there’s nothing I can do, it’s not my department.” Nice! Well guess what, I will NEVER purchase another thing from ANY department in Sears, and I don’t recommend any one else to shop there either as they don’t give two cents about you once you’ve purchased the item. They may have made money on this sale, but they most definitely LOST any future business from me, my friends, family, and any one else to whom I can relate this story.

Sears ordering from sears.com was a big mistake!

We ordered a stove and microhood from Sears.com and picked it up at West Lebanon NH store. The stove and microwave were both malfunctioning from day 1. The microwave made a chirping noise whenever we would use it and the front door on the stove could not be removed due to an improperly functioning hinge. We called Sears to come fix these problems. Big Mistake.

Visit 1: Repairman comes to assess the situation. Orders a hinge for the stove and a new motor for the microwave.

Visit 2: Repairman comes to work on stove and determines that the wrong hinge was sent. He can not work on microwave, because he doesn't have the work order. He tells us that we need to uninstall the microwave anyway for him to change the part.

Visit 3: We uninstall the microwave before this visit. Another repairman comes and is confused as to why the first guy thought we needed to uninstall it. He replaces the microwave motor and does not test the microwave before leaving. He uses a hammer to remove the door from the stove and installs the hinge in the stove that the previous guy thought was the wrong one. He then breaks the outer glass on the stove door and reinstalls it.

Now he leaves. I test the microwave and it turns out he installed the wrong motor in the wrong place and now it not only chirps, but the turn table is broken. The oven door does not stay closed enough to turn out the oven light. We called Sears.com and they agreed to replace the appliances, which is great! It then takes two days of going between Sears.com and the store we picked up the appliances from getting the run around and being sent in circles to finally get to a point where someone at Sears.com finally figured out what needed to be done and took care of it.

Sears Bad product

I bought a Sears Kenmore side by side model # [protected] based on the Consumer Reports recommendation. I did not have it home a week and the first Jabil controller board burnt out. They replaced that, but 20 months later, it burnt out again. The repairman said boards almost never burn out...so what are the statistical odds of it happening to my refrigerator. He wanted to blame the home's electrical system, but the refrigerator I have prior survived 15 years without a problem. Now, Sears wants $350 to fix the board and/or $160 a year to guarantee I won't have this problem again. What kind of business are they running and what happened to the Sears that used to stand behind their products?

Sears fraudulent activity, unreal customer service

Sears Saint John, NB

Don't shop at this location! They actually charge your credit card when you return a fridge under warranty and then you have to fight to get your money credited back once you receive the warranty replaced fridge. Also their customer service representatives at the 1800# will hang up on you when you request to speak to a manager.

Here is the what happened to us: This is pretty close to fraudulent activity and the customer service people, unreal!

We returned our fridge under warranty as it had cracks in the internal walls, that went well as the new fridge came and old one left. HOWEVER, sears actual charged my MasterCard for the full price of the replacement fridge and then said it would be a week for the credit to be placed back. Well 6 weeks later were still waiting and when we call the store or customer service they lie and say "It will be on your CC tomorrow" tomorrow never comes. We are taking them to small claims court and contacting our local media. Also when you ask for a manager or supervisor the reps hang-up on you!

Sears damaged my 150 year old home jamming the refrigerator through a doorway

Seems I'm not alone in my struggle with Sears, yet I feel that my story is worse than any you have posted so far. They actually damaged my 150 year old home jamming the refrigerator through a doorway. After promising a mere $300 compensation, they haven't even done that and are now refusing to return my phone calls. I'm about to update my website as to that effect but here's the link to my story with pictures:

Thanks for providing a voice to the people.

Ordered a freezer online. Choose a Saturday delivery between 4pm - 6pm. Driver called and said they had truck troubles and would not be able to delivery. So, went with the following Tuesday between 8:15am and 10:15 am. Took off work, no pay, and they did not call and did not show up. Called Sears Delivery at [protected]. Assured me that the freezer would be there the next Saturday. No show, no call again. Called Sears delivery back today...said Warehouse person will call me within 24 hours. What a bunch of crap! Very, very disappointed in Sears. Will not have a home delivery again, nor buy a Sears product if they can't do better than this.

Sears customer service/delivery

On 08/10/07 Purchased a Free Standing Gas Range, Microhood and oven, and 4 cycle dishwasher from Sears Willowbrook. NJ Price was over 3,100.00.

Items were replacements for old Sears Products.

Have purchased all appliances from sears for over 40 years.

Delivery set for 08/24. Received 3 calls from Sears Delivery prior to 08/24 to assure that some one would be home to receive delivery.

Called [protected] on 08/23 at 6 pm to confirm delivery. Received call from Sears delivery at 7:19 pm indicating that delivery would be on 08/24 between 2 and 4 pm.

Had old appliances removed. Additional stair rails removed from entrance hall. Old appliances placed out in disposal area for garbage pick up.

On 08/24 Garbage pick up at 7:30 am. At 8:45 Sears Delivery called and said they could not make delivery applicances did not come in on the morning truck.

Stove would not be delivered until September 9th
Micohood would not be delivered until August 29 and Dishwasher would not be delivered until August 25.

Called Sears Willowbrook Store. Appliance Dept spoke to Omar. He said the only person that could help me was Rob the individual that sold me the units and he would not be in today.

Asked for customer service dept. Guess what. Sears stores do not have customer service. Each deparment has that responsibility. Asked for individaul in Appliances that takes care of customer service. He said I had to speak to Rob. I told him Rob would not be in today. He said that's right.

Since I was getting nowhere I terminated the call.

I Called Sears Holding Corp, Hoffman Estates, IL and asked for Mr. Aylwin B. Lewis office. He is CEO of Sears Holding Corp.

Spoke to Thiffany who said she was an Executive Officer of the Company.

Her responses were worst than Omar's. She said she could do absolutely nothing to assist me.

At 11:30 Mail delivery my Visa Card Bill came in and all of the Sears Charges of 08/10 were listed for payment. But no delivery.

Went back to store and cancelled all items ordered.

Sears fraud and cheating!

I ordered a riding lawnmower and accessories on line from Sears to the tune of $2200. Got the order confirmation, and an e-mail saying I would be contacted to set up delivery. Several days go by and I don't hear anything so I log back in and it shows my order canceled.

I call customer service and they say yes, it was canceled but they don't know why. Account services say my credit card was good but no reason is given for the cancellation. They make no attempt to figure it out or make it good.

I send an e-mail to Sears alerting them that there process is broken. I get a reply saying they looked into it and don't know why it was canceled, but if I would call account services they would look into it. I replied that if they couldn't get the answer, I'm sure I couldn't. Bought a John Deere and had a much better experience and got a better mower.

What a bunch of ###s. No wonder Sears is going down the tubes.

I moved into a brand new home in July and purchased a new Kenmore, French Door, Fridge. Not 2 months later the refrigerator side of the unit stopped cooling. The freezer side still worked but I called Sears on a Thursday to have a tech come out and service it. The closest appointment was for the following Tuesday between 1pm -5pm. I waited and supposedly the tech called at 3pm, and due to not hearing the phone he skipped my service repair and went to the next appointment. I called Sears and they told me because I didn't answer I got skipped and now have to wait till Saturday for the next closest appointment.

So now everything in my fridge has gone to waist and am now eating out of two coolers filled with ice. Learning lesson, Don't miss the tech phone call even when your home cause Sears will make you take it right in the tail pipe...

Yesterday I got fired from sears... Ok here is the stroy... Yesterday on july 20 i went to work.. Around 4 o clock pm eastern time. An assoicate from the store came in to return an camera and older camera she had brought 8 months ago and wanted to exchange it for another camera. Well since this camera is passed 30days it needed an mangers approval. I then called my manger for the approval she ask me did she have a receipet i then ask her while she was on the phone and she said yeah. So i told my manger yeah. So i when i started the exchange i asked for her phone number and no salescheck came up. So i started the return process without a receipt ask for her id and went thru that procudure. My manger then came and APPROVED the transaction. She then took the camera. 15 mins later she calls and ask for the parts for the camera. So i bring it to her and she ask me why did i return this camera. Which i was confused since she just APPROVED it. So to make a longer long. They pulled me in the LP office thats sears security. They accused me of a fuard transaction because i returned an product outside the 30 day period. BUT WHAT I DONT GET IS THAT THE MANGER APPROVED IT .. while the officer was yelling at me she made a comment saying "YOU PEOPLE CAN RETURN STUFF LIKE THAT" Mind you the whole salesfloor is black. I asked what do u mean YOU PEOPLE she gout real quite and all the black ppl in the room put their head down. So that pissed me off. But they didnt FIRE THE MANGER that apporved it. Its the mangers job to oversee everything. Honestly i wouldnt be mad if she was fired but she wasnt. And if the LP officer did not make a rascit comment to me i wouldnt be mad... So what should i do ppl should i sue sears?

Well sears is going down the tube for a lot of reasons. Yes the online system sucks and they do have a lot of products online that can be ordered but are no longer availible in certain area's. Mostly due to new innovations and new models. You're model you ordered wasn't availible anymore and they cancelled you're order due to its unavailibity. You would be better suited not using that peice of junk online system. Becuase Online you dont know what you're geting. When you're geting it or if you'll ever get it. Ordering online is convient but the Poor sales associate in lawn and garden make$4.50 an hour plus comission since you tried to buy it online they dont get comission and you get a headach. I work at sears. I dislike it wish i could change things. But the store abuses they're sales associates and doesnt give a damn about employee turn over. I've been there for 6 months and have seen 3 Lawn and garden managers and 3 diffrent lawn and garden supervisors fired, quit or walk out. Sorry for you're problems. I wish things were better here too.

Sears guerilla marketing technique

Sears Portrait Studio

Garden City, NY

Re: Sears Portrait Needs to Understand Cultural Customs (Order # )

It was our first portrait experience with Sears. My family had a very good photo session with Keira. Compared to The Picture People, where we usually go, our photo shoot at Sears was relaxing. Keira made sure we liked all of the poses. She also helped us choose the poses and number of each print in our order. We spent some time with our order, but we felt unrushed and appreciated Keira's input.

However, when we picked up our order, the Sears Portrait sales representative, April, showed us 4 more poses that was not part of our order. She showed us a sepia toned 8=94x10=94, a black and white 8=94x10=94, etc. We were confused: we spent time selecting the poses and number of prints we wanted. Why was April showing us more?

April told us it was to show us the different effects that Sears Portrait offers. It was to show us more possibilities. However, Keira

had already showed us the different printing effects when we placed our order. April said that she had no control over this printing feature; Sears Portrait had this automatic printing addition.

We felt infuriated. Is this some kind of guerilla marketing technique that Sears Portrait is using to get us to spend more money? We had already spent time with our order. Why were we being pushed to buy more?

In the U.S., where there are many different cultures, Sears Portrait needs to be sensitive with other customs. In the Chinese culture, images of people SHOULD NOT BE THROWN AWAY. There is a superstition that if people rip and throw away a person's image/photo, it does not bring good luck to that person.

We felt extremely violated that Sears Portrait produced photos WITHOUT OUR CONSENT, after we had already selected our order.

We spent $21 more. We felt extremely cheated. We felt forced to buy these 4 extra photos. Although our photo shoot experience was extremely good, and although we like the quality of our photos (i.e., lighting, color, resolution, composition), we will unfortunately never go back to Sears Portrait because of this guerilla marketing technique you have. It is not worth it.

Sincerely,
Julia Lee

Never heard this either and I've worked in a few portrait places...lol. To momoffour...I've never worked anywhere the pictures are recycled...they are trashed. We might say that so people don't get their feelings hurt or as a customer joked once, have people waiting by the trash..lol. Pretty simple, you don't like how the company prints the extra pics, go some where else! Oh and to the nut that wanted refund on the extra sheets, its is SO illegal to copy the pics and then you want to return a sale item? Sale items are always final, in every type of sales environment!

Guess What! EVERY portrait studio does this! I have worked for most of them. It is not a guerilla technique. Good grief. Is that what McDonald's does when they ask you if you want fries with that? It is an OPTIONAL purchase.

About half of customers are thrilled because they wanted to order more anyway, and this way they are cheaper than normal prices. The other half don't really want them, and say so, and then they go home and don't worry about it.

Then there are a few nutjobs out there who make a federal case out of what is a normal business practice of trying to make as much money as they can.

I had the same situation but this time, I specifically requested the studio not to print any extra copies. I am going to complain about the studio to BBB. You never know where the pictures might end up. May be one of the folks that are supporting the idea of printing without customer's consent will be okay with their pictures ending up in the toilet at the mall they got their pictures or taken or they are okay with their pictures ending up on some porn website.

I'am responding to this last email, make copies at costco do you realize if you copy pictures from a professional photographer it is illegal, they have a copywrite on them, no wonder why all studios or 80% of the studios make extra copies for customers, the studios are trying to recoup some of the money that consumers are not spending, just like if you went in and spent a total of 10.00 you were there probley an hour ( which woulden't even cover wages) for the studio, they you go and try and RETURN your pictures of your kids to get them cheaper somewhere else, nice. Which i remind you again is ILLEGAL!

The same happend to me in Montclaire CA at the Sears portrait studio.
We decided for a package when we picked up the pictures they offered us a set more for $20 plus tax we got the extra pictures. The next day I decided to return them and get the same set at Costo for about $2.00, but the employe at sears told me that those extra pictures couldn't be returned. If they did it was going to be a fee of 50% off the sale price. She was really rude and when I asked for the 50% back she refused and gave me a [protected] number to call them on this phone number . The service was the same or worst so I said I was going to sue them and complain with the BBB, so she said to me to hold on that she was going to call the studio and see what she could do. When she came back to me she told me to take them back for the 50% fee. Now I have to drive back to get $10 of my 20+tax. This is a really bad experince for us this was our second time there and the last one.

I'm no history major, but I do recall learning that a gazillion years ago, Native Americans did not like to get photographed because they thought the camera stold your soul. I'm glad they got over that.

"In the Chinese culture, images of people SHOULD NOT BE THROWN AWAY. There is a superstition that if people rip and throw away a person's image/photo, it does not bring good luck to that person."

In my 20 years of doing photography, I've not heard this Chinese superstition before.

Perhaps the studios could offer to burn the portraits instead, just for those that are still stuck in the middle ages. But since we're doing this for a living, there will be a $20 burn and disposal fee. ;)

Hahaha, i find your complaint so hilarious.

"We felt extremely violated that Sears Portrait produced photos WITHOUT OUR CONSENT, after we had already selected our order."

It is just a few extra photos they print out. you swear like the whole world is going to end becasue of these 4 extra photos that you have in OPTION, may i repeat OPTION, to buy.

Portrait Studios are around to make money. Honestly, I can't wait for the extra's when I pick up my portraits - I buy them every time. I never get the option of purchasing them beforehand, but know that they come when I pick the pics up. It's especially great when all I want is the package special, even if the other pictures are really good maybe I can't afford them all, but know when I go to pick up my package I'll be able to spend an extra $20 to get all the pictures from the shoot.

Seriously, if you didn't want extra portraits, then don't go to a portrait studio. Take your own pictures at home.

Also - what about digital images of you or your kids? Do you feel the same way about them being destroyed? It's still an image of a person, when it gets deleted, it's the same thing as ripping it to pieces and destroying it. Is it the phyicality of it? What if you posted a picture of yourself, somebody got ahold of the digital image and printed it, then ripped it to pieces and threw it in the trash.

It's a money-making portrait studio. Get over it.

I'm sorry, but your complaint is completely unjustified and shouldn't be directed towards this company specifically. Over the years I've worked for several portrait studio's both corporate and individually owned. The majority of them will offer additional prints from your session at a greatly discounted rate. It has been my experience that the majority of customers WILL purchase these additional "composite sheets", "bonus sheets" or "spec sheets" as they're called. The majority of customers see this as an awesome deal, as they're discounted at up to 75% off of the regular price of the sheets originally. They are in no way trying to offend anyone by giving them this option. Do you also have a complaint against the DMV, they discard photos all day long, did you send them an e-mail too?
And yes, they're trying to make an extra buck, they're trying to keep their business afloat, and keep their photographers and employees paid enough to continue dealing with wonderful customers like yourself.

Sears will not honor warranty

I purchased Sears Replacement Windows in 1993 and was guarantee a lifetime warranty on warping, chipping, pealing and cracking and a 20 year warranty on loss of the insulated seal for as long as I owned my home. I called Sears talked with Rhonda and I requested that I needed someone to come and repair 4 windows and I had a warranty to cover this. She requested I fax her a copy of my warranty. I faxed a copy and received a call back from Rhonda on my answering machine stating that this warranty was just an estimate not a warranty. The two windows I needed repaired were warped and the other two the seals were broken. I bought these windows because of the lifetime warranty. The warranty specifically said that Sears will grant a lifetime warranty on these window not the window company. They will not honor my warranty and said my warranty was only good for a year. I had Sears come out and fix my windows in 1998 and was not charged for the repair. This was past the one year period and they should have the warranty I sent them on file. I am very upset with Sears and will no longer purchase anything from them. They do not stand by what they say, which makes them untrustworthy.

I am having the exact experience. In 2003, I purchased six low-E windows for approximately $575.00 each! In 2007, I put in a claim for two lower sashes which had tiny cracks in a lower corner. A Sear's Rep came out and agreed with replacing them. New windows were delivered to my house via UPS. I am having a similar issue which I have been attempting to resolve since late July, to no avail. Today, I have made several calls to them. They told me that they have no record of either my warranty or purchase! They only keep records for 7 to 10 years. BS!

Sears kenmore oven

Bought a self-cleaning gas range model 665,72002 six years ago. It worked for about a year then the oven wouldn't light or it would display a power failure code (PF) after being on. The tech said it was a "known defect" and replaced the display panel free of charge. Seemed to be okay. Then I was cooking a roast one day-it preheated just fine. About 2 hrs. in I checked it and the oven was stone cold-no PF display this time-it said it was on and at the temp I had set it for. Over the past six years I have had Sears back to fix it several times. Each time they come up with a different diagnosis and replace or adjust something different and proclaim it fixed. Indeed, it will light 20 times in a row-until they leave! I called another local appliance repair company in my area and they said it could only be diagnosed by replacing parts until it was resolved-it's basically just a really poor design. We agreed that would be throwing good money after bad. The problem is intermittent. It can work and then not work for two days and then magically decide to work again. I can't entertain and rarely cook anything that has to be baked. I have endured rude treatment by Sears representatives and no-shows by techs who won't answer the calls and pages by the dispatchers and eat up my vacation leave from work. At one point I reluctantly bought an extended warranty because I knew it was a lemon and would require more repairs-although it felt like extortion. Sure enough, about a month later it did it again. I called and the guy on the phone acknowledged that he could see I had bought the warranty on that date but because it wasn't "showing up" on some field on his computer because it apparently hadn't been inputed correctly or completely yet, I would have to pay for the service call. I had to point out that regardless, the call would be free because their own policy states that if I call back within 90 days from the repair for the same problem, there is no charge. As there is no resolution in sight, I will be shopping for a new stove soon although I can't afford it. I really expected that my stove would last much longer that 18 months!

Sears ridiculous way to credit consumers

Sears employs a classic bait and switch with its purported "rebate" enticement for large appliances, which it runs several times per year. It offers 10% off one appliance, 20% off two appliances, and 30% off three or more appliances over $399 in value. But the incentive is nowhere near as good as it sounds because soon after you sign on the dotted line, the friendly folks at Sears disclaim any knowledge of, or connection to, your rebate. Instead, you are directed to the Sears Rebate Center, which either intentionally or incompetently mismanages the rebate process, taking no action on the rebate for at least eight weeks while Sears holds your money and earns interest on your savings.

The Sears Rebate Center employees will cheerfully inform you that "it takes 6 to 8 weeks to process your rebate application" as if that is a perfectly reasonable amount of time to log something into a computer. Then after six weeks of "processing" the application (which any mechanized system with a handful of staffers could do in a single day), Sears then takes "up to 30 days" to mail the check to you because the company inexplicably chooses to send the check via third class mail.

Nothing makes a customer feel so appreciated as when a Fortune 100 company sends rebate checks via third class mail. Rest assured, the billing statement for the full price of your appliances will be "processed" in less than two weeks and mailed via first class mail so that you will have to bear the entire brunt of the cost of these appliances for weeks before your money is returned to you. Sears should be ashamed of itself. Rebates are a ridiculous way to credit consumers for sale prices on appliances and the money should be taken off at the cash register as it is at Best Buy, Home Depot and Lowes.

I made a purchase on 06/13/2009, which qualified for a $50 rebate card. However, I haven't received the rebate reward yet. I've contacted the Sears Rebate Center for several times. The first time, they said my rebate was on the way and I would receive it in 21 days. Then after one month, I contacted them again, and they cannot find my rebate info from their system. Last week, I called them again and they said they would contact me in about two business days. This the the email I received today:

"Unfortunately, we are unable to reissue you a Reward Card. You may have to contact Sears if you require further assistance."

I won't buy anything from Sears from now on.

After many calls finally asked to talk to someone in finance but they tell me they can't let me do that. Last call was told card reissued on 25 July and I should receive it within 20 days.

Why have these rebates if you are not going to follow through on it?! I've been waiting for my rebate since June. I received the same ole’ automated emails indicating that if will take 4-6 weeks to received. After not receiving my rebate 8 weeks later, I contacted Sears online on the rebate status site. It said to check my address to make sure it was right. Of course it was right. "I never had a problem getting a rebate from anyone else." I then received another automated email indicating that they would send a new rebate card out and not to use the old one if I received it. Six weeks later I still didn't receive my 'new rebate card'. I called the so-called 'rebate center' and they told me the new card was mailed out September 23, 2010. I received my rebate card on November 5, 2010 and to my surprise the card expired October 29, 2010! I finally decided to go the an actual Sears Store to argue with them. When the Assistant Manager called the rebate center they gave her the same run around saying they would process another card and it would take 4-6 weeks to receive it! I told the Assistant Manager that was unacceptable and she called them again and they told her that they had to turn my account over to the finance center and to call them within 3-5 days. Seriously, it is a rebate card, not my taxes! The Assistant Manager said she would call the rebate center in 3 days and I should as well. So, I call the rebate center 4 days later and they said that my rebate was approved and they are sending me a gift card for $50 dollars and I should receive it in a few weeks. I just went off... We will see if that happens. I am NEVER signing up for a rebate again with Sears and seriously considering closing my account with them.

I am done buying stuff from Sears. When they say that something is on sale, then they should disclose that you have to send a rebate in which will take two months to receive. But the sears rebate center always seems to find a loophole to where they can just keep your money. We bought a tractor in May, because we thought it was a good price. Only did we find out that we had to pay the full price at the register not the sale price. We paid in cash and credit card but the store conveniently only printed out the receipt for the visa transaction so when we sent in the rebate the companys reason for not giving us the rebate was that we didn't pay full price, but the cash transaction wasn't even listed on the receipt thanks to the wise sales clerk. Just another scam to basically lie to you and get your money without giving you anything back in return. I hope Sears goes out of business. I am in the military and will be spreading this from Georgia to California and yes I do know many people.

I have had several problems with Sears. I made a purchase on May 26th and on May 28th I tried to do an online price adjustment, but guess what the screen to fill the information in would not submit, so I sent an email in. I am still emailing back and forth with them over a price adjustment issue. Also I have tried to use the online rebate program what a joke. They keep telling me that it does not match up with the sales receipt. I even emailed them the receipt I have they say can't do anything with that it does not match our records in our system. I finally mailed in the rebate information let see how this goes. I wish I was under the 30 days right now I think I would return everything and go somewhere else. I spent close to $4, 000 and this is how I am treated. I need to buy a few more appliances, but they will not be at sears.

On May 9, 2010, I purchased an electric range from Sears and was promised a rebate. I submitted the rebate application online and indicated I would take the rebate as a prepaid Mastercard. To date, I have not received the rebate. So I contacted Sears about it. They replied that they had reviewed my records, and that the rebate had been issued to me two weeks ago. They suggested I look around for it, and also that I should check with Mastercard. I called Mastercard, and they have no record of me whatsoever. It is clear the rebate could not have been issued if Mastercard did not so much as have my name in its computer. I contacted Sears again with this information, and they continue to insist the rebate was issued. They again suggested I look around my house, and also that I just need to wait 21 days. That's the last time I buy anything from Sears.

Sears poor service!

Purchased an item online and used my $120 Sears Rewards towards the purchase, leaving a balance of $5.00. The item I purchased NEVER arrived; Sears took my rewards pints for this item and did not reimburse me for $120 on my account. Was charged $125, then credited $120. That would be fine if I received my product. They just don't get the fact that this product would have been credited to my account anyway because I never received it; how on earth does this make sense? They took my $120 rewards points and I got nothing for it, not even a credit on my account. Forfeited my $120... canceled my card after 20+ years.

In 2010 I bought a front loader washer and dryer from Sears. 3 weeks ago the washer bearing blew! My husband called Sears service line to order the part - which took approx an hour speaking with someone with NO service and repair experience. Sears proceeded to send the wrong part. When my husband called back explaining it was the wrong part, it took him speaking to 3 separate reps to finally find someone who took the time to send him a sketch of the washer to figure out the name of the part " as per Sears requirements". Once the right part was identified, the Sears rep proceeded to tell us that this part is on BACKORDER for 3 weeks. Are you f'ing kidding me...3 wks with no laundry! Since Sears closed all their parts stores, the public is reduced to suffering the consequences! I will NEVER order another appliance from Sears again! BUYER BEWARE...

On March 14, 2009 I had an appointment to have my couch & upstairs hall carpet steam cleaned. The 2 fellows doing the job arrived on time which was great. They looked at my sofa and found a tag which said it had a certain percentage of cotton. I knew ahead of time that if this was the case I would be charged an additional $ 20. which I had agreed to. They finished the whole job in 1/2 hour which I was really surprised about. Having had Sears do carpeting here before I assumed that the job would be a great one. I WAS WRONG!
I paid $ 143.00 for this service and I am not satisfied. My intention was to call and complain but we had a family member have an emergency triple heart bypass so more than the 15 days had passed (which really should have been 30 days - in my and several other peoples minds).
Needless to say I will never be having Sears steam clean another thing in our home.
I would appreciate your input on this matter.

Sears poor repair service

Four years ago we purchased a Samsung wide screen HD television from Sears in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Last year the color convergence went out making it impossible to adjust the color which had gone crazy. Since we purchased the TV from Sears, we called their Home Repair Center to have the problem repaired. After waiting a week for an appointment the technician arrived but didn't have the part to make the repair (even though they knew the problem before arriving and the part needed to fix it). The tech said he would have the part shipped and rescheduled the appointment for the following week. The following week a different tech came and said the first tech ordered the wrong part, and he would have to order a different part, which he did. Ten days later the original tech came and said the second tech didn't know what he doing and installed the original part he ordered.

A year later, the exact problem again occurred with the color convergence. Against my better judgment I called Sears again for the repair thinking that what happened the first time was just bad luck. I provided the Service Center with the make and model of my TV and the exact problem, even though they still had my records from the last year. On July 9th the technician arrived fully aware of what the problem was and what parts were needed to fix it. Of course he didn't have the parts on his truck needed to fix it, and once again had to order the part and have it shipped to my house. The part arrived on the 12th, but the earliest Sears could come back was July 16th. The night before I received a computer generated call from Sears confirming the service repair date for Monday the 16th. By 5PM the service tech didn't show up and nobody called. I was furious because I had arranged my work schedule so I would be close to the house and be available to let them in, not to mention I made separate arrangements for my kids to be picked up from day camp so I would be available for the tech. When I called the customer service line, of course they were apologetic, but couldn't offer an explanation why nobody showed up or didn't call. They customer service rep said I had been rescheduled for July 30th (without checking to see if I was even going to be around then). I complained that was ridicules to have to wait another two weeks. She said there was nothing they could do. Not happy I demanded to speak to someone else. I was switched to Sears's Recovery department. The woman was very nice, said she understood why I was so angry, and assured me they would fit me in sooner by putting me on their list for when people call to cancel an appointment. Well after waiting another week and not hearing I called again. The CS person again apologized and said they must not have any cancellations, and I would just have to wait until the 30th. I then said I would return the new part sitting at my house, and wanted all my money back. She said the 90 dollar service charge I paid was non refundable.

Is there anything else I can do?

Sears poor service!

I bought a set of new tires from a mail order company. I needed to have the tires mounted and balanced, so I took the vehicle to Sears Automotive. After I signed the paper work, I left and came back about 1.5 hours later to pick up my car. Before I left the packing lot, I inspected all the four tires and wheels to make sure they were installed properly. I discovered that all four of my alloy wheels are scratched all around the lug holes. Also the wheels were gouged in the inner edge of the rim. The pattern were uniform and about 2-3 inches long. In addition, there were several places where the paint was peeling off. I told one of the technician and took some pictures. The technician told me that he would notified the Manager to call me the next day, so I left. The next day, no phone call, I called the store again and was told that the Manager had just left. He promised me that the Manager will call me tomorrow.

Finally the next day the Manager (Jay) called and told me to bring my car there. He inspected the wheels and told me that their machine didn't cause the damages. He admitted that the scratches around the lug holes were caused by his technician as the marks were obvious that they were freshly done. He kept telling me that the damages could be caused by hitting the curb. I told him that I would have damage the tire wall first before it could damage the inner edge of the rim. In addition the pattern were uniform. How can you get a uniform pattern by hitting the curb? He was very argumentative and kept pointing out that their machine would not do such damages. I asked him, how about a human error? He said yes, human error is possible, but still did not want to admit. No apology whatsoever even though he admitted that the scratches around the lug holes were caused by his technician. He told me that all he could do was offering me a free oil change... ARE YOU KIDDING ME? These wheels are OEM 17 inches Mercedes Benz wheels that I purchased for $2000 a set a few years ago. I didn't ask him for a set of brand new wheels, but I asked him to have the wheels repaired.

To cut the story short, he was only willing to offer to waive half of the installation fee ($47) or sell me a set of new wheels "at cost." He showed me a set of 17" cheap wheels for $380. He said that he could sell them to me for $340. What a joke, Sears offers 10% discount on all items from time to time on many major holidays and on customer appreciation day,no coupon needed...certainly he was not selling at cost! This guy is like a car salesman from hell. I told him that I did not feel valued as a customer. He said that I did not even purchased the tires from them, so it did not matter. Obviously this guy is not a customer oriented person. I'm not sure why he can be a Manager at a major company such as Sears. By the way, this was my first experience with Sears auto center and certainly be the LAST! I told him that I didn't think his offer was fair and asked him what was the next step. He said that even if I filed a complaint to the corporate office, they would go to him and I didn't have a case because they would listen to him. SEARS needs to start listening to their customers rather than to their employees. As a customer, I feel "trapped" and don't have any choice but to take the lousy $47. This is the WORST customer experience ever. I will certainly spread the words around to all people I know so they won't make the same mistake I did. For those who read this post... STAY AWAY from Sears auto center especially the one in Clackamas, OR!

This afternoon I brought my car to the Automotive Department at Westfield Broward Mall to have a nail removed from one of my tires and have a patch or plug put in at about 3:00 PM. I waited more than a half hour for a representative to get to me to ask about my problem. I explained my issue and he said they would get it done soon. This was at 3:35. I asked what time they closed and he said 7:00 PM. He never mentioned how many other cars were ahead of me. A friend picked me up and we went shopping and came back at approximately 6:45 PM. I went to retrieve my car and was informed that they had never done anything to it because there were 15 cars ahead of me. I wanted them to fix a flat not do a major tune-up. It might have taken 15 minutes to do. They wanted me to leave my car there overnight in an open parking lot and they would get to it in the morning. It would be ready "probably" around 10:00 AM. I asked for my key back and will take my business someplace more reliable. Needless to say, this is the last time I will be at Sears.

I just went into the Titusville, Florida Sears location for an oil change and tire rotation. The guy behind the counter was slow as molasses and it took about 30 minutes just to drop off my vehicle because he couldn't figure out the computer. Supposedly he was a manager (what the business card stated according to his name tag) and was really rude. In the middle of our transaction he tells me I need to wait because he needed to call someone back. I asked if we could finish up because my husband and kids were waiting for me in the car.(this was about 20 minutes into the transaction)

The real trouble started about an hour later. He called me to tell me the oil change was done, but they wouldn't rotate my tires because they said the tread was too low. My tires aren't brand new, but still have enough life left that I didn't feel the need to buy new tires today. I go back to the shop to pick up my vehicle and again, he starts badgering me about my tires. I said I didn't feel I needed new tires at this time, and that I'd just like to pay for the oil change and leave. He then walks away. There was another guest behind me and we were talking about how rude and unprofessional he was being. About 7 minutes later he comes back. He took pictures of my vehicle with HIS PERSONAL CELL PHONE! He was trying to show me them, and when I told him I didn't want to see, just check me out and let me have my keys he refused. He told me my vehicle was a hazard and I didn't want to know the truth. Again, I asked to be checked out so I could leave. He refused and told me that he would need someone higher up to sign off because I refused to believe that my car was a hazard and wouldn't release my vehicle to me. He said that they (Sears Automotive) are liable. By that time I started cursing at him. I couldn't believe what I was going through just for a simple oil change. He told me to get out of his shop. I told him that's what I've been trying to do for the last 20 minutes, but you are refusing to take my payment and give me my keys. He would not complete the transaction, so thankfully, my husband was outside and I sent him in. Miraculously, he took payment from him and handed over my keys without a word of how "hazardous" my vehicle was. I was being harassed by this man because I was a female. My car was held hostage because I refused to purchase tires from Sears and now this nut job has personal photos of MY vehicle on his cell phone along with my home address because of the paperwork. I don't know what this nut job is capable of. I honestly thought I was going to have to call the police. I will NEVER step foot in Sears auto center again. I called Corporate and filed a report. Hopefully, they fire this man as he's a liability to their company.

A simple oil change took over 3+ hours that was with appointment. Dropped the car off at Sears Auto service at 600 Mowry Ave, Newark, Ca 94560 @10:19am, went to pick it up @2:10pm. The car was still at the same spot. Sears Auto service had not touch my car. Talked to the customer service they had offered my key back. Thanks . Unprofessional service or they do not how to do the job and why are they still in business?

My husband took the car in to Sears Auto Center in the University Square Mall in Tampa Florida. I called them to see if they could look at the tire and see if they could repair it and if they could do it that night. It was a Monday night and raining. My husband was there for three hours and there were people waiting there that have been there all day. So eventually they never got around to him. We ended up having to leave the car there. They were also understaffed. I went to pick up my husband in the rain and when I got there I saw them drive the car with a flat tire.

They called us back as soon as we got home and told us the car would be ready in the morning to pick up by 7:30 am. When we got there Tuesday morning the tire was not fixed nor was it even on the car. So eventually they fixed the tire and found a leak and was able to repair it, but we had to wait for it.

When they pulled the car around, the side panels on the car were detached from the side of the car. They had popped both side panels on the car. We ended up having to take it to Toyota and paying $280.00 in repairs because they do not know how to jack up a car properly. Toyota had stated that on my paperwork. We tried to contact to sears but they will not give us any information and are claiming its not there fault. I will never take my car there again.

I had my oil pan gasket replaced in Dec. 2012...two months after in late Feb. 2013 told them it was still leaking...brought it back again and was told that it's not coming from oil pan...that it was coming somewhere engine block...brought it to a local mechanic to put some dye and come back a week...and was told it is oil pan gasket itself that either it was too tight that the gasket itself was squeeze that has like tongue sticking out around the between the cover and and the pan. Brought it back again local had the neon blue light and was told oil around "is" oil pan gasket as I was right beside the mechanic and seen it for myself while hoisted. Therefore I brought it back to Sears week later...then a mechanice tells me "well in order to replace it we have to drop down your muffler line from manifold to get to it, but the muffler's line where connects to manifold bolts are rusted if it breaks from catalic coverter section that has to be replaced as well! and that if I do have it replace it's under warrantee the gasket only but I have to pay another oil change too! wtf! So i only had it change oil...it just didn't make any sense the original date of changing gasket in Dec. then put a oil..written sticker indicated oil change again in 3 months or 3k miles Manager gave me time to return it to have fixed in June 2013 wrote it under warrantee replaced since i don't drive my car too much it was due for another oil changed, Since it was almost for oil change and there's no noise or damaged with my muffler line unit..indeed it is rusty why not give it a try to replace the gasket? Manager is poor handling customer service, lack/under staff~!

I had great service with Sears and everyone was quite friendly and helpful until I went to clean my vehicle, looked in the trunk and noticed they forgot to put the spare tire back in...When I called I was deemed ignorant as to where my spare is located in my very own car of which I had to put the spare on before driving it to Sears and a liar due to the fact that the employee/technician swore he put the spare in, so I do agree that they take the words of the employee over the customer, but in this case, unless I parked at some radioactive nuclear site where spare tires disintegrate, where is it? This guy should just admit his mistake on misplacement of the spare and failure to put it in its proper place, my trunk, instead I have to call corporate

What a whiner. It probably was your fault. Tire machines are designed to not scratch wheels and the balance never touches the outer edge of the rim. You probably damaged your rims then got new tires and tried to pin the damage on the tech. When they wouldn't kiss your a** and give you new rims which you don't deserve you got pissed and wrote this piece of garbage complaint.
You drive a mercedes so you're most likely a cheapskate a**hole, and I'm probably right about what you did. Sears AC takes good care of their customers, despite what this sniveling little b**** says.

Oh, yes...STAY FAR AWAY FROM SEARS!THEIRSVC IS HORRIFIC!I purchased 4 tires and was told the price included the allignment, and also there was a 4 yr waurantee...It is only 3 yrs ago, and I wa told to bring the car in that they tires would be replaced or fixed at no cost to me...HA!I have talked to the manager(Independence Mall, Kingston, Ma)andhe replaced 1 tire because the 2 mechanics that tried to pull a screw out...Unsuccessfully...So he said that yes, they werestill under waurantee, and that the other 3 tires were fine...I was then told no allignment was ever done, because it was never paid for...They didn'thave it in the computer...Let me tell you a story about a technician in Hanover Mall, Ma that said he did an oil change, I paid for it, and my 2 year old car seized on the high way!I weent back to the store, and they could not findme in the computer!I didn't keep my receipt...So, bye bye 2 year old car...Now don't say stupid for buying tires...I was stuck at the Kingston Mall and figured how can you mess up tires?OMG!To those that say"Oh, I never have probs with Sears...You can learn yorown lesson...They are a bunch of idiots!I went to get my inspection sticker, and the big fat "R" for rejection says it all!I called the Sears auto back, and was told themanager was out...I called regional and District manager...TheDistrict manager wouldn'tgive me the time of day, andI called the regional mgr who saidhe was on vacation, andwould talk to the district mgr...Noone evergot back to me, so I called corp...They called the store mgr, who now said that my tires were no longer under warantee, bcus it was not only 4 yr warantee, it was 36, 000 miles...whichever came 1st...

Sears Poor quality product!

Having owned several Kenmore appliances – including 2 refrigerators - in the past, and being a loyal Sears customer for more than 20 years, I bought a Kenmore Elite Trio refrigerator in May 2006. Turns out this is a piece of junk. I have researched at least 2 recalls on this model since 2003. Mine died about 3 months after purchase and after trying to get a replacement through the normal Sears channels was successful only through the good offices of the salesperson the unit was purchased through.

Now the darn thing has died again. Sears has refused replacement again and will not discuss replacement until a service person has verified the problem. I guess I’m not qualified to tell if a refrigerator is working, while my food spoils and my wife is ticked.

After an hour on the phone, up through the food chain, Sears “I can’t help” attitude, and lack of response to a so-called “valued” customer and their non-existent customer service has forced me to believe this is not the Sears of old. The manager I spoke to even had the chutzpah to quote from the legal requirements document he seemed to have readily at hand.

It’s a good thing? I purchased a 2-year extended warranty on this unit, expecting further problems, and boyo, was I right! It would appear this piece of cr*p, made by LG in Korea, is destined for the trash heap once the extended warranty expires. $2000 down the drain.

So here I sit, on vacation, which is over the day service is scheduled, with a roomtemperator waiting for the technician. Then I will have to take time off from work, the day I return from vacation, to deal with the repairman, who I am sure will have to order parts or a replacement unit. Then I can take some more time off work for that service call as well. I will never buy another major product from Sears.

Tell your friends, Kenmore is no longer the appliance of legend, and Sears doesn’t care.

Hello,

I moved to PR back on October 2018 from Texas. I bought a washer, dryer, a stove and fridge. I opened an account to pay the appliances monthly. When the fridge was delivered, the delivery truck hit my car parked in front of my property. My property street is a dead end non busy street. They had plenty of space for the delivery truck maneuver. I am claiming this incident now because it took time to register my in PR. Sears say they do not have records of my purchase because has been more than 30 days. The local Sears store in PR told me that they cannot do anything because the damaged property is not directly related to the appliances or structure of the house. I did a claim to their auto insurance company and it still in process. Their insurance company say that they are going to send me a check when claim is finished. They are not going to provide anything else. They are not going to help me with transportation while the car is being fix at the shop. I need a car to get to work those days, what should I do?

I purchased a Kenmore elite trio refrigerator [protected] August 2016, aug 6, 2016, at sears in Memphis Tn., told it would be delivered within a week. On the day of delivery, got a phone call and sears said it had been back ordered. We had sold our old one and customer picked up the night before our scheduled delivery. We did not get our refrigerator for weeks. Hello. Have had severe trouble since and have been without for four weeks now and after multiple attempts I sent Eddie Lampert a email and called for a week so I will paste the rest of the story, this is the email I sent him. How r u? I’m sending this email because no one has sears has been helpful or done us right. On August 6, 2016 we purchased a Kenmore elite [protected] refrigerator under the name of Sylvia Moffatt, that’s my elderly mother who lives with me that I care for medically. To start off we were told delivery the next week and sold our refrigerator the day before scheduled delivery, well guess what sears called the day of and said the item has been back ordered, three weeks later maybe four becasue we had made our first payment before it was even delivered. No apologies nothing. The cost of having to keep her medicine and food right was a headache. November 2016, I open the fridge and it’s not cooling, open the freezer and everything in the freezer is ruined, it appeared the freezer went first and then the fridge part is why I didn’t notice the spoiled food in freezer, so I call sears and first available appointment is two and half weeks even after I explained my moms medical needs, so a week into no refrigerator, my daughter opened it for some reason and it was working again, so I call sears and tell them and keep appointment eventhough they wanted to cancel, well day of appointment no one shows so I call and they said the tech decided since it was working no need to come out, I said well it would have been nice if u had filled me in, but since it was working I went about my business, March 2017 same thing all over and sears came out after two week waiting and said the compressor needs to be replaced so they order part which takes three weeks to get here and mysteriously in the third week fridge stars working, I didn’t call in this time so they wouldn’t cancel on me and a week later tech comes this is four weeks now with three weeks of no refrigerator, so the tech gets here I explain everything and the compressor was only pulling one amp, but to my surprise eventhough the compressor was sent here the tech chose not to put it on becasue it was cooling some at the time and cleaned condenser fan instead eventhough I saw no dirt and I pleaded with him to put the part on as it was not pulling the required amp, he said he could not do that because it was cooling some and leaves after he charges for a water filter and air filter that did not indicate needed changing, he said the amps would pull right after replacing those and cleaning the clean condenser fan. Same thing happens in November 17 again, except it was out for two days and again two week appointment, this time sears calls and ask the day before was it cooling any and I told them it barely keeps anything cool and freezer doesn’t freeze solid, to my surprise they cancelled the appointment. By the grace of god as my mother was in the ICU, the day we arrived home it was working and in July of this year 2018 it goes completely out again, called and two and half week appointment, sears tech gets here, happens to be the same tech from last time says, yep compressor is locked up and on the phone I had given sears the master protection agreement number which I purchased last year when warranty went out over the phone from sears and the number they gave me eventhough I asked them to mail me proper paperwork was [protected] and after I didn’t receive paperwork they said I didn’t need it just this number and it was a three year protection plan from the date of purchase of the refrigerator and I said well that’s not right becasue I purchased it a year later but what ever, so back to aug 7 when tech is here he told my husband and I, by the way you have no warranty on my labor and the part is on back order for four weeks and then u have to call and schedule me to come back after u get part and I said sears didn’t tell me we had to pay for labor nor the part was on back order we were told after doing diagnostic on phone he would have the part is why it took two and half weeks for appointment, then he told us 492 would be the cost of his labor and we would be without a refrigerator for almost six weeks. My husband said this is ridiculous please just leave because the tech admitted he didn’t put this part on last year. So I call sears immediately about this warranty and back order part and they say now no one has ever been here but once and we have no warranty that’s just a customer number what ever that is and that’s a customer number what ever that is and yes the compressor is covered under warranty but not the labor, but feel free to order and pay for the part myself. I have spent hours days and a ton of energy on this and the fire department and ambulance service because of my elderly mom not getting the proper foods because have u ever tried to feed a family out of coolers for weeks on end. So I have ordered that same compressor they say was on back order from sears and it’s susposed to be here tomorrow the 15, four days after order and I have to pay a certified tech not sears though at this point so my compressor will still be warranted eventhough everyone that is a professional in this town said that’s a linear compressor that will go out within six months again and won’t touch it, they recommend throwing this high dollar refrigerator away and starting over, I can’t afford to do that seeing as I’ve already paid 2000 dollars on it and still owe close to 2000 on it by the time interest is accumulated. Sears has rigged their records and this is so not right. I’m to the point of calling our news station in Memphis tn and asking them to open an investigation, pulling my phone records and what video and audio I have, sears has been here five times well susposed to be five because they cancelled but definitely three times for the same issue. I grew up in a household where my parents always purchased sears appliances and this is awful and in my opinion illegal. Very sad and no one wants to help from sears. At this point I want a full refund or a brand new refrigerator that works. Please, please don’t ignore us like everyone else has please. My phone number is [protected] My address is 2277 Bethany dr Southaven ms 38672. We purchased this item from sears at the south land mall Memphis tn. Please help us. I have a family who depends on food, a sick mom who depends on medicine and food. I can not afford to buy even a 500 dollar one at this point, espically after buying the compressor and still have to pay to have it put in we have spent so much money in take out food, Ice and all the food we lost every time this refrigerator went out. Please put yourself in my place. Thank you. Nanette Nelson. Ok now we received the compressor on wed the 15 and there is no drier filter with it, the certified tech was already here and I did not know the filter wasn’t in it becasue this is what sears told me just a few days ago, I can’t get the photo of the chat to insert, but sears assured me the filter drier was included, I do have the screenshots of the chat, so here we go again, had to pay for tech that came out but couldn’t do job without drier filter, so I call sears this morning and the woman totally ignored that I have a copy in black and white promising the filter and says I can order that for u, after repeating this five times she still ignored that fact so I asked for a supervisor as I have every call I have made minimum one hour calls up to two hour calls with them and she puts me on long hold, comes back and says no supervisor available, this is the reason I have reached out to Eddie Lampert becasue no one will help And I saw a post to email And call his office to make executive complaint. I have left several messages with his office and sent 12 emails to him And he doesn’t respond either. This to me should be criminal. So now I’m waiting on drier filter.

Have been a loyal Sears customer for a long time. Had Kenmore refrigerators in the past and have been great. Bought an Elite side by side a few years back. Ice maker stopped working within a year. Bottom refrigerator drawer has already been replaced. Deli drawer is about to go now. Started getting hair line cracks inside the walls of the fridge. Now they are bigger and are rusted. The metal drawer racks are rusted and get mildew constantly. It's been a horrible experience. Customer service said they can not help. So disappointed!
The add photo option does not work. wish I could show the pictures.

I received a notice of a civil suit on LG Electronics a long time back.. Up until now June 20, 2017 the only problem I had was with the compressor switch. I paid and had that replaced. At this date I had refrigerator bulbs that stayed on and started melting my light fixture and causing the refrigerator to get warm and all the alarms kept ringing. Fortunately we caught the problem before we seriously burned the house down. We removed the bulbs and are now trying to contact the Administrator of the LG claim to find out the status. Has anyone any information about this issue or any issues they had later in time. My refrigerator was bought in 2007.

I just read a multitude of accounts describing problems with Sears Kenmore Elite refrigerators. I only wish I'd thought to consult the on line blogs and better yet, Consumer Report BEFORE purchasing their "Kenmore Elite Grab-N-Go" model on 11/30/2013 during the Christmas "Black Friday Sale". In fact, the unit would not be delivered for another 6 months (5/14/2014) when my new home construction would be completed. I'd even passed on having the builder provide my refrigerator along with the rest of the kitchen appliance package. I CHOSE to buy the Kenmore Elite because I "trusted" the Sears brand. The original price listed for this Kenmore was $4, 299.99. I only mention the price to emphasize, as many of the others before me in their accounts that these are very expensive refrigerators that factor majorly into a household budget. And at a minimum, with an outlay of this amount, one would expect a quality product that would last many years or if need for repair, Sears will stand behind it. That said, much to my chagrin, just about 3 week s ago (12/7/2016), I noticed that items in the freezer were beginning to slowly unthaw. Mind you, I've had the refrigerator for only 2 1/2 years. I began by calling customer no. 1-800-4-MY-HOME. By the way, I did not purchase an extended warranty. I was told that the only thing they could do for me was send out a tech at $99 service fee OR I could purchase a one-year warranty "plan" at $49/mo. However, my refrigerator would not be covered until after 90 days. Needless to say, I didn't sign up. Over the next 3 weeks, I would speak with at least 8 other people in 5-6 departments (i.e., customer service, customer solutions, manufacturer, recalls, etc.) about my issue -- NONE offering solutions or hope. During the period, a tech came out 5 times. The first time diagnosis was a bad compressor (which was replaced free due to 10-yr manufacturer warranty). However, the fridge would only "begin" to cool during the 24-hr "wait and see" period, only to stop cooling again EACH of the 4 times the tech made repair visits. As I write today (12/29/16), I'm scheduled for the 5th tech visit at 1:30pm. It's obvious that this refrigerator is a "lemon" -- they can't even fix it! To paraphrase an earlier blogger, "the Sears old exists no more." I, too, had been a long time customer (over 25 years) based in part on what I'd experienced as a child when my parents did business with Sears -- remember, before there were Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, HH Gregg, etc. Well, no more, ANY one of Sears' competitors offer me more promise and hope at this point. My relationship with Sears is definitely finished, and not so surprisingly, I'm hearing the same from scores of others. BRJ--Montgomery, AL

Sears Kenmore Elite the model I have made by LG is beyond junk. It is no wonder Sears is going bankrupt. I would tell anyone that is thinking of purchasing from Sears to RUN to GE or anyone else. Sears refuses to stand behind what they sell. ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE OR LOYALTY.

We purchased a Kenmore Elite Refrigerator on 6-24-13 and that is the last time I ever purchase an appliance from Sears.
The ice maker has been replaced twice, the flapper in ice maker has been replaced, the mother board has been replaced and the gasket has been replaced.
Last week I replaced the water filter and the ice maker has ceased to function and my warranty ran out. I have a 20+ year old GE in the garage that makes plenty of ice.
My Father loved Sears and I have been a customer since I was 16 (1959). I am very disappointed with Sears.

DO NOT PURCHASE ANY APPLIANCES FROM SEARS.

Remodeled my kitchen and bought all top-of-the-line Kenmore products, thinking I was going to have a wonderful kitchen filled with nostalgia. Wrong! I've made lots of service calls and find that my kitchen has been something of a nightmare. Double oven has a difficult time keeping accurate temperature; trio refrigerator is now not cooling/freezing. Customer service is really a joke. There really seems to be little investment in actually helping customers solve issues; what they wanted to do was sell me more products and services even when I was on the phone complaining about products that have repeatedly broken down over the mere 5 years I've had them. I'm now facing the expense of removing all the Kenmore products from my kitchen and going in a very different direction. I would really caution anyone thinking about Kenmore products to be really careful. If you must have any of these products make sure to get all the extended warranties your money can buy. Me? Never again! Money wasted.
