Sears
reviews and complaints

In July we had our air conditioning go out and Sears came to fix it 2 weeks later. Two days later we had the message come across the ac unit and we called the tech that worked on it because he didn't want to come out due to rain. The message went away. August 15th we received the same error message on the AC unit and we scheduled a tech to come out that Monday. He ensured us he was putting a rush order on the same part that was "broken" the previous month. It is now September 15th and we have had no air since that day. No one has been communicating with us at all. My husband calls once a week and we get a different story. This is the WORST service I have ever received and we have only had the unit a year. We are located in Texas and I work from home in a hot house with fans all day.

Technician Cesar came to repair LG range top. Did not test equipment for working/nonworking order. Tech told me it needed a new board. I figured he knew what he was talking about but evidently he didn't. I had to make a decision about payment on the spot and decided to have it repaired. Charged $548.40. Power was returned to unit as tech was leaving and unit worked properly. Called tech two minutes later and he said he would check with his boss and would find out what to do. He said to wait until Monday (service was on a Thursday) and someone would call. No one ever called. I called Cesar four times yesterday and got no answer. Essentially, I was charged for something I did not need. I have used Sears in the past for other repairs but I am a very unhappy customer.

Sears Master Protection Plan (I have been carrying this service warranty since 2003) Phone # [protected]
I have this protection plan for the following items since 2003 but they are not fixing my refrigerator or replacing it though they are supposed to do that even as per their technicians who visited my home times since April 14, 2021.
1. For Refrigerator, Contract # [protected], expires November 2021.
2. For Dishwasher, Washer and Drier, expires March 2022, Contract # [protected]
3. For Water Heater, expires Nov 2021, Contract # [protected]

As the refrigerator was making loud noise, I called Sears [protected] for service to fix the problem.
1. Technician came for on April 14, 2021. He came and worked on the lower backside of the refrigerator and left. After few days the noise came back louder. I called again. He said he was from "New Tech, " a company which works for Sears.
2. 2nd Technician came on April 28, 2021. He was from the same company. He changed the Sensor of the Ice Maker and left. The noise came back with less intensity but lost lot of food as the vegetable shelves started accumulation water. I called again. Though food is getting spoiled, and I cannot keep even a half gallon of milk, still they were giving me appointments far apart. Now I specifically asked for Sears technician. While working he somehow broke one lid of a freezer shelf. So he ordered that and also other parts for back panel inside the refrigerator.
3. 3rd Technician came on May 22, 2021. He was from Sears. He fixed the lid and changed the back panel inside the refrigerator. The noise went away as we turned the ice maker off, but the water accumulated and now the temperature could not be kept as needed. It was not cooling adequately anymore. So, I called them again.
4. 4th Technician came on June 9, 2021. He was from Sears. His name is David Moser. He said that this refrigerator cannot be fixed, and I must call Sears for the replacement. I called and they said they must send another technician for a second opinion. I tried to convince that I have been suffering for long time and their technician already said it cannot be fixed and I should ask for replacement as Sears policy is that if they fail to fix the problem four times then the customer gets replacement. So, I called again but they again said they are going to send a technician as the last technician did not write what he told me.
5. 5th. Technician came on June July 22, 2021. He was from Sears. His name is Rajinder K. He said that this refrigerator cannot be fixed, and I must call Sears for the replacement. Therefore, he did not do anything on the refrigerator. I called Sears again. They said they must send technician again.
6. 6th. Technician came on July 24, 2021. He was from Sears. His name is Shaneel Chand. He did not work on the refrigerator and said that he was going to put that this refrigerator needs to be replaced and I must call Sears again but when I called the person, I talked told me that the technician did not write that. So they were going to send technician again.
7. 7th. Technician came on August 25, 2021. H was the same technician Rajinder K. who came on July 22, 2021. Therefore, he told me the same thing, to call Sears and also, he called David Moser as David is the tech manager and advised me to call Sears again.
When I call Sears, they give me a Claim no and say that someone from their benefit department will call me in 24 to 48 hours but that does not happen.
Shall I go to court? Please help. Thank you.

you are thinking of purchasing from sears for a Kenmore appliance and including a master protection agreement. DO NO DO IT. took us over 2 months for the refrigerator too be fixed. After them confirming the appointments several times you would wait all day only too receive a call too reschedule for another 3 weeks later, it happened 4 times.I find it totally unacceptable to leave a family without a refrigerator for over 2 months. No one paid for the countless bags of ice or food that would go bad.i will never buy another sears products (i was a loyal customer in the past) or service agreement . Another problem was when i called the service number upset and would be transfered from around never to get any help or a manager. Then promised one would called me back and didnt on 4 occassions. I was also lied too. Told on a few calls that they would put in for emergency fix and someone would come out in 48 hours. Found out after 2 occasions given this information there was no such service. I placed multiple calls to service and there was never anyone to talk too or cared. I did email complaint to sears have not heard back.SO DO NOT

Been trying to get my gas grill fixed by my Sears repair protection agreement since 29 April 2021. The grill needed a new gas valve and was replaced 0n 21 July 2021. When the technician replaced the gas valve the ignitor wire broke off. I called today and they tell someone ordered a gas valve and an ignitor wire on 6 September 2021 and that I need to wait 10 days. I don't the client number but it is associated with my phone number [protected], Your assistance would be appreciate. This is the phone that I call [protected]

I scheduled Preventive Maintenance appointments for 8/24/21, 8/26/21, 8/31/21, 9/7/21 and no one showed for any. I contacted Sears many times and was told someone would get back to me to let me know why no one showed up. I did not receive any calls from Sears. Several times I was transferred to another number/person who answered and put me on hold and never came back on the line. A couple of times I held for 30 and 40 minutes.

we have had a terrible chemical smell penetrating the entire interior of the unit, the ice is terrible and it has ruined a few hundred dollars of food now as well as the smell even penetrates sealed food bags, we have emptied it, cleaned it twice inside and the terrible chemical smell is back in no time, this unit is just 3 years old and now our master protection warranty just expired a few days ago ! I have read online that hundreds of customers are experiencing the same issues, the smell is making us sick, sears needs to do something about this it is obviously a widespread issue that sears refuses to adress. We need this problem fixed now, if we end up in the hospital due to the defective unit we will be forced to seek damages, this problem occured before the master plan expired yet no one was interested in coming to fix the issue for us, we are very upset and getting sicked by the day from this units problem, what will you do to help us with this matter ?

Master plan warranty customer ID [protected]-0011 purchase date 08/28/2018

Purchased refrigerator, washer, and dryer from Sears Home Appliance Store in Knightdale NC on 2/11/2021. Salescheck # [protected]. (Invoice total: $3212.09.) These were ordered for our new home in South Carolina and were to be delivered when house was completed. Delivery was scheduled for 07/31/2021. Delivery was cancelled by Sears at the last minute because they did not have the refrigerator.

Refrigerator was on back order for scheduled delivery and we cancelled the order for the refrigerator and received a credit for $1573.79.

We refused delivery of the washer and dryer on 8/07/2021 because they brought the incorrect models. No one contacted us in regards to rescheduling delivery of the correct products.

We cancelled the order for the washer/dryer on 08/13/2021. We were told that a credit would be applied to our credit card for $1638.30 within 7 - 10 business days. We still have not received the credit. All attempts to call Sears Customer Service have been futile with no results.

I have a Craftsman garden hose that has cracked. It has a lifetime warranty, I contacted Craftsman, they don't mfg Craftsman hose, contact Sears. I contacted them, they requested a Pic of the hose, my ID, proof of purchase, puc of model/serial # and Pic of the tool. I don't have a receipt, the hose was bought from my local Sears store before they closed. It's a Garden hose, a Pic was sent, therefore model or serial #. They continue to ask the same information. I can't get support.

My Kenmore Refridgerator die. I found it is an LG. It is 6 years old. The compressor went out. According to my owner's manual, it is covered. They charge me for the compressor and a motherboard and another part almost 1, 400. I had to pay upfront. I do not feel I should have to pay for the two other parts. It is not my fault that LG has defective parts. The only way the new compressor will work is to get a new motherboard. I received my parts and called to make two appointments. The refrigerator was scheduled for 8/30. No one showed. The girl did not schedule it. But did schedule the repair for my washer. The guy came out and another 700 dollars in parts. That appointment is on 9/7. I called on 8/30 and 9/1 trying to find out why they did make an appointment on 8/30. That is the date the girl gave. Now they are telling me they can not get a repairman here until 9/25. That means I will be without a refrigerator for two months. All I am told is they are sorry. There is no manager or any recourse for me to pursue. This is really bad customer service.

I have been to Consumer Reports already. Sears let my refrigerator insurance run out. I have been on the phone with Sears all afternoon. When parts (where I started) connected me with Protection Agreements, I knew I was in for it as I waited an hour and a half after I called customer service back. Alot of people are calling protection agreements! Gee, I wonder why! She doesn't even need to go to law school, she just needs the degree. She said 1) They, Sears, didn't have to tell me my insurance was running out, 2) Said they, Sears, sent out notices before the insurance ran out. I repeatedly told her, as before, that I never got a notice, and 3) Sears has no way of knowing whether I GOT the notice. That's slick, but not convincing, since I've been loyally pre-paying my insurance since 2006. Then she connected me with warranties. He said he couldn't find my name on Sears computer, over and over, I said that's not my fault, I was always on the computer. He then said he couldn't help me, but he COULD help me sign up for a warranty--49 dollars a month. Like no one could see through ANY of this. What's really odd is that my insurance ran out right after a repairman was here replacing a part insured. Then, still today, I was connected to Protection Agreement again, and they pulled together a whole story about my Protection Plan running out. No one ever told me or wrote me that my Protection Plan ran out. Sears just let my insurance run out. You can't do that!

80% of the people I talk to on the phone, online, or in person get nice things said to their bosses. None of the people above are in that category. 2 weeks ago, a bank messed up, I found, and no one had discovered the mistake since March. 40G's. I had all weekend to go online. If I gave you the name of the bank, you could go online and read the posts. Now Sears has given me the same opportunity. I want my refrigerator insurance re-instated. You can't just let insurance run out, even an agreement, without the person being informed, and you did not do that. I have a feeling a LOT of people are calling your protection agreement center, and I doubt anyone told them ahead of time that Sears was going to pull the rug out from underneath them.

I purchase a Whirlpool refrigerator with a five year attended warranty.

On July 6, 2021 I called for repair on my Whirlpool refrigerator. The ice maker was leaking into the ice bin, causing the ice to mass together. When I tried to get Ice the auger turned and it broken out the bottom of the bin. When I called the first time I told the technician what happen. He told me that he order the parts for my refrigerator and setup my appointment for the repair to be done on July 16, 2021. The technician stated that he did not need to send anyone out as he knew by what I was stating what parts I needed for my refrigerator. On July 16, 2021 the repair technician did not show nor did I get a call. When the technician did not show I called Sears repair again. I was told the parts were on back order . I waited another week and I call back in again to Sears repair. I was told the parts were no longer available from the manufacture and they were looking at other vendors for the parts. I waited another week to call back and still got the same information. I was told at that time that after 30 days and my refrigerator still was not repaired that I could request for a replacement of my refrigerator. So I waited over 30 day which was Aug 8, 2021 to request my refrigerator be replaced per my contract warranty agreement. I spoke to a man name Ragi, and he stated that he put my request in for replacement. I was told that I should get a call within 3 to 5 days. I did not receive any call back. So I called again 8/11/21 spoke to Giselle and she told me that there was no request put in for replacement. She stated that she put in an escalation for the replacement to the Technical Management department and gave me a reference number of 7221598 and stated she documented everything and once again I would get a call back in 3-5 days. Again I got no call. I took it upon myself to called around and found out that the bin for my refrigerator was no longer available. On 8/17 I spoke to Alvaro and he confirmed that the part was no longer available. He sent a third escalation to the Technical Manager to the next level to get my refrigerator replaced. Again I had to wait 3 to 5 days but Alvaro stated for me not to call back before Aug 25, 2021. On Aug. 24 2021 I received a call from Terrence of the repair department stating he was ordering my part. I told him they are supposed to be replacing my refrigerator. I told him what I was told that the bin was no longer available and he told me that he did not order the bin, only the Ice Maker. I told him that both parts are broken. He stated there was no order for the bin. I told him yes there was as your other reps told me that it was not available anymore. Terrance refuse to order the bin, only the ice maker which would not fix my refrigerator. Terrance then told me that I would have to call back to the department that sent me to the Technical department and request to have my refrigerator replace. I later found out that Terrance was the one that approves my replacement. So here I am over 60 days later and according to my extended warranty contract if my refrigerator was not repaired after 30 days they would replace my refrigerator. On Aug 24 I spoke to Abiola and she stated that the technical manager is not responding. She sent another request to the technical manager. I then call Sears Corporate office and spoke to Kay only to be told that there is no corporate office to speak to. After going over all that I had been through she could not help me. I requested to speak to a supervisor, she put me on hold for a long time and came back and stated a supervisor would call me back in one hour. It has been three hours and no word again, no help from anyone other than getting the run a round and still no refrigerator... Is there anybody at Sears can help me get this taken care of.

Only had less than two years the I ternary motor is broken costs more to repair than buy a new one they sold me a faulty washing machine and won't even replace it

I purchased a Sears warranty for my Kenmore Refrigerator after owning a new one for only 3 years the compression unit broke. I called another service company and the gave me a quote for $850. I decided to call Sears and the woman advised if I buy Sears warranty that it would cover parts and labor would only be $150.00. I set repair appointment for 1 week later. I had to throw away a full fridge of food. Only to have the repair guy explained it wasn't covered until 30 days after having warranty. At this point it was only 1 week. I was Lied to by sales rep because I asked her several different ways if it was covered right away and she reassured me every time that it was. If I do not get a credit for this repair then I will cancel the warranty after 30days and will never use this service or buy anything from Sears again !

For years I have purchased my appliances as well as the Master Protection Agreement plans for all of them. Over the past couple of years the service I have received from the customer service representatives has decline. Back in March of 2021, I called to get a tech to see why my dryer wasn't heating as well as a new lint trapper.
The tech did not come out on the day I was given from the Sears customer rep. When the tech finally came, he ordered the part however it took months to come in. The lint trapper came but was not the right size.
I don't know about you but I can't afford to go to a laundry mat twice a week for months at a time. I later found out the Sears no longer sends their techs but hires a third party company who does what they want. When the part came in and the tech was scheduled to come out, he pulled up to my home and walked to the door to put a Sorry I missed you sign. I immediately called the company he worked for and after they spoke to him he claimed that he honk, called, and knocked which he did none. When he finally came back, he replaced the part but the dryer didn't sound the same as if there was a loose screw. He would not look into and said I had to call to make another appointment. I called the same day and it's been a month and the tech has not come back. The Sears customer service people tell me they can't do anything and I have to call his company. I've requested multiple times to get a different company and I've stayed on hold for hours and when I finally get someone they tell me the request has to be sent to their supervisor and I will get a call back within 2 days. I never hear from them. Some of the Sears representatives you can tell they don't want to do their job as they tell me we can't find your account or give me details that have nothing to do with my call. Kudos to those who are very helpful.
I've called multiple times to get the correct size of the lint trapper but I keep getting the same one. This is a fire hazard! I would like to get my dryer fixed and the right lint trapper otherwise please replace my dryer. I pay for my Master Agreement Protection Plan to make sure I get good professional service but that has not been the case lately.

Purchased Kenmore Elite Model #74145 - 24.5 CU. FT. 33" Smart Wi-Fi Enabled French Door Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator-Active Finish Item #[protected] - UPC # [protected].
Regular Price $2, 899.99 - on sale for $2, 437.98 - Sears Flash Sale 10% off and Sears Extra $50.00 off purchase of $750.00 - Final $2, 144.18 plus Delivery - Ice Maker Hose - Sales Tax = $2, 420.63

January 28, 2021 - Sears Delivered, Installed and Set UP.

April 28, 2021 - contacted Sears Warranty department because the indoor ice maker had stopped making ice. The gentleman asked me to go to the refrigerator and tell him what the temperature was on the freezer. I told him -4. He stated that was the problem, it should be set at 0 degrees. I explained to him that the settings were made by the Sears Installers when they delivered. He stated to change it to 0 degrees and ice maker should start working in the 48 hours. Started purchasing a bag of ice every day. We waited 48 hours and still no ice. We changed the temperature on the front of the unit to +4 degrees (still buying ice daily) and 3 days later it started dumping ice again. Worked for 2 weeks and stopped (started buying ice again). We turned off the unit turned it back on 3 days later it worked for 10 days and stopped (started buying ice again).

June 4, 2021 - Called [protected] Spoke to Dean - explained to her that we had made the changes on the freezer temperature that we were told to and the icemaker worked for two weeks and then stopped again. She stated she had to transfer me to a technician to help me so that a service technician could come to our home.

June 4, 2021 - Spoke to Jeff a Technician with Sears.com and he asked us what we had done thus far, we walked him through what we did during May. He stated that the ice maker had gone out and that he would get a new one ordered and then schedule a technician.

June 10, 2021 - Received a text message stating my parts have shipped for delivery and the service technician was scheduled on 6/15/21

June 14, 2021 - UPS Delivered the New Ice Maker, put unopened box in utility room.

June 14, 2021 - Received a confirmation text that the service technician would be at my home on 6/15 between 8-5 p.m.

June 15, 2021 - Craig the Technician came to my home, he looked at the refrigerator and stated that the ice maker was trying to function but no water was getting to it. He stated there was a heating coil around the water tube in the door itself and it was freezing and not dispensing water to the ice maker, even though the water dispenser still worked. He asked to see the ice maker that had been delivered to my home. I handed him the un-opened box. He stated that this LG brand ice maker was too big for my refrigerator and put it back in the box. (it is still in the box in my garage). I voiced my concern on a new door being put on the unit as All Stainless is different, so if the door was manufactured at a different time/facility as the refrigerator itself then the color could be different. I also brought to his attention that the French doors when closed where almost an inch different when closed and that the installers had tried to adjust them and they stated the doors wouldn't adjust. Craig looked at the doors and verified what the installers had stated. They could not be adjusted to match. Dave ordered the new left side door and stated a Technician would be out once the door was delivered.
Craig suggested I call the customer service number and voice my concerns about the ice maker, door and doors not matching.

June 15, 2021 p.m. I called and explained to Samatha the issues both us and the Technicians were having with the refrigerator and that the unit less than 5 months old and at this point should be replaced with a new unit. I spoke with Samantha who transferred me to Mack then got disconnected. Called back and spoke to Dave, Rose, then Arthur and then Carter with no resolution to the problem. Was told that would have to wait for the New door to be delivered.

June 16, 2021 - Large box from Sears was received

June 24, 2021 - Technician - Alejandro arrived at our home. Went to the kitchen and looked at the refrigerator. He took the door apart and looked at the tubes coming into the door from the back of the refrigerator. He asked to see the New door. I took him back to the front door and went back into the kitchen. He called me to please come back to the front door. He said he was very sorry, but the door that was delivered was not the door for my refrigerator. It was a flat front door - not an ice maker or water dispenser door. It had no insert or attachments on the inside to attach an ice maker. He put the door back in the box and we went back to the kitchen. He pulled up the schematics on the Sears website and stated that the reason the ice maker and door that was shipped were wrong was because the schematics in their system was for an older model. The model I have in my refrigerator is a brand new 2020/2021 model. He stated that no matter what was shipped it wouldn't fit at this time. He told me he would put in a request for replacement of the exact same unit and for me to call Customer Solutions at [protected] in a week if I had not heard back from Sears on my replacement. (New Door is sitting in my garage in the box with the Ice Maker that didn't fit)

July 1, 2021 - Never heard anything from Sears so I called Customer Solutions and spoke with Francis who gave me my claim #7180959 and was told there were no updates in the system to please give it a few days.

July 2, 2021 - received the following e-mail at 12:49 p.m. -
We understand your concern regarding the replacement.

We have checked our records and see that there is no approval for replacement. Hence, we regret to inform that we cannot process the replacement. If you still have any queries, please contact our warranty team at [protected].

I immediately called the above number and it rings one time and disconnects.
The unit had been in our home for 3 months when it stopped working - why am I being asked to pay the difference on a manufacturers' warranty.
I went on Sears.com and looked at both of the units they were offering me.
The first one Kenmore Unit is 36" wide - won't fit in my home unless Sears would like to pay for remodeling.
The second one GE is not similar to the specifications on the unit I have and is an inferior unit, no in door icemaker or water dispenser. It is not Smart WI-FI enabled, does not have the Active Finish against finger prints. It is 37.5 inches deep with handle, mine is only 35.375 inches deep, it doesn't have spill proof shelves, not as many bins, no sliding shelf for pitchers etc. and no door alarm.

July 26, 2021 - I called the customer support number since the number in the e-mail didn't work - spoke with Ben, told him all of the above, he said he was going to transfer me to someone, instead disconnect me.

July 26, 2021 - I called back to customer support number and reached Cara and went over everything that had happened and the e-mail I had received and asked why am I being sent an e-mail telling me to choose between 2 refrigerators that are nothing like the one I have and also being told I will have to pay the difference between what I paid and cost now. The unit is under manufacturer's warranty - it should be an even change of a like unit. She stated she would put in a request for someone to contact me.

July 29, 2021 8:40 a.m. - Received a text message which stated click the link to proceed at searspartsdirect.com. No explanation nothing - When I clicked the link it pops up with a link to enter my credit card information. I did not enter my credit card information and closed the link immediately

July 29, 2021 9:15 a.m. - still no response from Sears - I called and spoke with Iyla, I asked her to please explain to me why I was not getting the refrigerator I had in my home as a replacement and being asked to pay the different in pricing for the 2 choices in the e-mail they sent. She looked into the case (Now with New Case #7183057) and said that the reason that the e-mail had been sent with the 2 choices was because the model number 74145 had been discontinued. This information was not noted in the e-mail they sent.
I went over all of the reasons the 2 options wouldn't work and asked again why was I being told I would have to pay when it should be an even trade broken for new. I told her that the e-mail I received showed a credit of just $2144.00 which is what I got my current unit on sale for. Not what the unit was at the actual retail price. I went on Sears.com's website pulled up the LG LRFS2503S. It is the exact same unit I have in my kitchen as a Kenmore Elite. I went to the local Conn's and looked at the LG in person to confirm it was the same and it is. Same Specs, size, etc. just has LG on the front instead of Kenmore. Iyla took all of the information down and stated she would put in a request to have someone call me.

July 30, 2021 - received a call from [protected] - kept saying Hello no response - and then the line went dead.

August 1, 2021 - 9:24 a.m. - received a call from Polly, said she was calling to find out why I hadn't clicked on one of the 2 options that were in the e-mail sent to me on July 26th so they could process my replacement. I told her that I tried calling the number on the e-mail and it is not a working number. Explained why the 2 options were not acceptable as replacement units for my refrigerator. Gave her all of the information I had given Iyla the day before on the unit that they sell that is the exact same unit I have in my home now. She said she would put in a request and someone would get back with me.

August 4, 2021 - no response to August 1st call. Called and spoke with Iyla again, gave her the same information and case number again - she said she would have someone contact me.

August 6, 2021- still no response, I have had a brand new non-functioning refrigerator unit in my home delivered on 1/28/2021 and it has been non-functioning since April 28, 2021, 90 days old when it stopped and it is now August 6 months and still not resolved. It is a manufacturer warranty issue. This should not be happening. They show that the LG that is exactly like the Kenmore will be in stock on 8-20-21.

August 13, 2021 - still no response from Sears, Per Rachel she is contacting the offline team to get status.

All I want is a functioning refrigerator in my home that has exactly the same features and functions as what I purchased the end of January.

The fridge is just 5 years old. The last time it acted like this. The Evaporator coil in the fridg cabinet was iced. Thawed and been good for the last couple years.

NOW. Same symptoms, but now there is no ice on the evaporator coil. The system seems to sound like its running but fridg and freezer are over 70 deg.

Next nix to keeping this hunk of junk is that in the last week, we have 6 friends with same fridge all called with compressor failures. We aren't paying for or waiting to repair it. AINT gonna fix it. we will never buy another LG product from this point on.. We are checking for a "RELIABLE" high end product to replace it. Any body want a 5 year old $2500 boat anchor ?

Reliable replacement recommendations welcome.

A service repair for a Sears tech was scheduled 08/06 between 10 and 2 thru a gentleman named Tom. I informed him that in the past I had appointments scheduled and there was a no show and no communication. Tom assured me that would happen this time. I received confirmation. But as I expected there was a no show and eventual cancellation by Sears that I only discovered by using the tracking in the confirmation. I received no communication thru email or text that it had been cancelled.

I called 1-800-469-4663 and they supposedly rescheduled thru Peninsula Appliance to come out 08/09 between 8 and 11. Again no communication and no show. Late that night Peninsula sent a text to call and reschedule.

I called 1-888-880-1495 this morning and spoke to Vicky. She supposedly sent Peninsula an email to contact me to schedule. I also went to the Peninsula website and submitted a repair request. No reply. After not hearing from Peninsula called them at 11am. They claimed they called 408-937-4522 and left message. Either they misdialed or did not call as someone was home all day and in addition there is no message on the phone. Now they say the earliest they can come out is 08/18.

I had a problem with Peninsula not showing for a refrigerator repair earlier this year.

3 weeks ago ice started forming under cube bin and would not dispense. researched and found could be flap. Last week display showed ERR F1. Researched again and said could be some fan which could damage computer board. Tech came yesterday. Well it was Duct Assembly (fan?) Bad news part is no longer available anywhere in world. There is no compatible replacement. This refrigerator is 12 yrs. old and cost $2200. Am I supposed to junk it. This is a disgrace and highway robbery. I bought my first washing machine from Sears in 1962 and over the years other appliances. I believe it is on Sears to make good. This was purchased from Sears, Coastal Grand Mall in Myrtle Beach, SC.

I called Sears service for appt for fridge that was not cooling well. The first available was 3 weeks out on 7/14/21. I hoped that the fridge would not completely stop working as a didn't want to buy a new fridge as this one was under 5 years old and I paid 2600.00 when new.
Tech assessed and stated I needed a control panel for the fans. Part was ordered and new service date to install was 8/2/21. It was installed that day and it didn't seem to be cooling but I thought I would give it a chance. I called Sears service back to have them come back out as there was no positive result in changing that part. (by the way tech took my old part instead of leaving it. Not sure if he actually put new part in) There was going to be another 3 week wait for service on 8/27. The more I thought about this I called back on 8/5/21 to speak to supervisor. At this point I just wanted my money back 728.00 as I received no value from their service. Was told I could have my money back except for initial service call of 89.00. Then she stated to get 639.00 back they would need to get the part back they installed or they couldn't refund cost of part 292.00.
At this point I have shopped for new fridge and it will be delivered in a couple days. I will have the old fridge hauled away at that time.
I can't get Sears to come before 8/27 for part and I have no other way to have old fridge hauled away after they get their part.
How do they expect you to live without fridge for 3 weeks? I have also lost several hundred dollars in food that has gone bad. I want a refund to be able to apply to new fridge.
