DO NOT BUY the Sears Master protection Agreement it is NOT worth the paper it is written on! Our Freezer broke down so we called Sears (actually a company answering for them in INDIA) to report the issue. a week later a technician showed up to verify the freezer was broken so he ordered parts. a few weeks later the parts arrived so the technician installed...

Sears Kenmore Elite Refrigerator

My Kenmore Elite frig stopped working. Called Sears they told me ONLY the compressor was still on warranty and they had to send their own tech out to verify. And if it was the compressor, it would be mailed within 3-5 business days. That was the first lie. The tech that came did an invoice for $1,379.40 which included the cost for the compressor and he called his supervisor and after, I was asked for payment. I told him I was only paying him for the service call because he did not have the parts with him to fix the frig. Why the heck I'm paying you for a service upfront and you have not -did the work so his supervisor told him to decline the invoice. SICK OF GIVEN THE RUN AROUND

Desired outcome: I want my refrigerator fixed. They can mail me the compressor like they said initially to get my frig fixed that's been out over a month. RESQUESTING to speak with a rep that can help get this resolved!Cell #[protected] PLEASE HELP

Sears Sears Home Service Appliance Repair policiy

Recently we scheduled a service call for a 12-year-old Kenmore Elite microwave. The service tech said he could order parts but it probably wouldn't fix the issue and we should just buy a new one. Then, he noted we "declined service" so we'd have to pay the $250 service fee for him to walk through the door. We didn't decline service...he said it probably couldn't be fixed even with the parts we would pay for to the tune of $400+. Why on earth would we agree to purchase parts and labor if it could not be fixed? Why should we pay for a "service call" when no service was performed? There is no option with Chat on the website and no phone number that connects to an actual person. Very poor customer service and we'll never call them again. This may be one of the worst examples of customer service we've ever experienced. We believe we should be refunded the service fee since the tech said what he might be able to do probably would not solve the problem.

Desired outcome: refund of service fee

My family have been loyal SEARS customers for generations. I spent summers in a SEARS catalog family home in the Catskill mountains, SEARS did my auto repairs and maintenance and so on until they shuttered a few years back. My dad still has a workshop full of Craftsman tools. Need I go on? Mostly smooth transactions for decades on end, I had no reason to...

Sears Master Protection Agreement

The Customer Service department is basically inaccessible. Every number I am given results in the same automated maze. Any email sent is returned with

a message that it is unmonitored.

I need to talk to someone who can help me fix my voided rental approval and begin a new one. I have been renting since Mid-August and my part is still on back order.

Online chat connects you to people who are unable to help...but it's the only way to interact with a human.

I need an email that I can send attachments to. Error messages.

Master Protection Agreement Rental Reimbursement claim #797620 - review history...this is the latest one that won't allow me to upload a receipt.

Claimed loss: Rental Reimbursement for refrigerator while waiting on a part. Renting since 8/17/23.

Desired outcome: Reinstate the voided claim, or back date a new one that I can submit my rental bills to for reimbursement.

Sears Appliance repair

I have a combination microwave oven appliance from Kenmore. I called Sears Home Services, who sent a technician out to diagnose the problem, he ordered a part, weeks later returned to install it, didn’t fix it, ordered a second part, weeks later installed it, didn’t work, ordered a third part, same result. His final analysis was they no longer make the part needed, so he initiated a 100% refund (less the $99.00 diagnostic fee. ) We paid $716.18, and are due a refund of $617.18. The service rep took each part and returned them each of the 3 times. He initiated the refund on 9/29/23. I have followed up numerous times, each time assured it was escalated and would be refunded to my credit card, but it has not! Please help me get my refund!

Claimed loss: $617.18

Desired outcome: I want a Refund to my credit card in the amount of $617.18 (agreed to pay $99.00 diagnostic fee from the original $716.18 paid)

Sears Refrigerator repair never happening

Representative assesed problem with refrigerator, suggested repair and ordered parts.

Parts received and repair scheduled, waited all day and no one showed up, no call, no communication at all. Tried to contact Sears, only got phone tree stating my appointment was in the past. Rescheduled. Again, no one showed up, received a text saying repair would show up at twenty to one AM the next morning. This was not only unacceptable but rediculas. Another text the next day setting an appointment a month in the future. Still Unacceptable. I tried three differen phone numbers and got the same phone tree with no one to talk to, couldn't leave a message and feel totally disrespected. You waisted my time for two full days and now will not talk to me after I gave you full payment. When I try to cancel you insinuate that the contract has been fulfilled. Also not acceptable. Contact me.

Desired outcome: Take your parts back and give me a full refund, or at least contact me.

Sears Washing machine service

Contract # [protected]

Service #SCCR8385FC8B

I had a tech from HH appliance on Monday September 11, 2023 visit to check our washer that was leaking & ruining my celling. After checking my washer he told us it was a plumbing issue. I called a plumber & he checked the plumbing and said it was not a plumbing issue. $150.00 for the visit and a hole in our ceiling & no results on our problem. My son in law came to visit and checked it out and it turned out to be the seal on the washing machine was torn. The tech came back only because I called to complain took pictures & never got back to us with an answer. I just called back today October 18, 2023 over a month later and left a message wondering about the status of the service & finally got a call back. from the HH appliance company to tell me the part is not covered. Terrible service and would like to know why it took so long to get results. My washing machine still needs to be fixed.

Desired outcome: Washing machine still not fixed. I wish someone would have gotten to us sooner. I would have dealt with my problem differently. Terrible service and C/S

Sears credit refund

I ordered a refrigerator 9/3/23 #[protected], About Oct 1 I cancelled the order because Sears had delayed the delivery date on me 4 times. I asked that my credit card be credited with the $2721 that was charged to my card on September 6. I was told that the credit would appear by Oct 16. To date that has NOT been refunded. I just tried trying to resolve the problem online and was told thru Just Answer that they needed to charge by card $5.00 to get the problem resolved, but my credit card sent me a notification that Just Answer had tried to charge my card $55, so I logged off.

Betty Prentice

Desired outcome: I wish the original charge of $2721 to be credited back to my credit card immediately.

Sears I wanted to purchase a sears protection plan for 4 rental properties and 3 appliances in each property.

When I called and complained within the first three (3) days I told them to cancel my order completely since I didn't request the Plan for my own personal house. They said they would honor my request and then they sent me the contract which said it would expire in 2024 not 2023. So again Sears Plays its games of BAIT N SWITCH when my property was not a requested address. When I called they said they didn't have the recording where I requested a total refund of my money $766.67. I do have the proof of the conversation and will seek to hire a lawyer if I do not get my entire payment back. I have written to the BBB and am waiting for a response. Time is of the Essence and since I didn't request the Plan for my one property Why does Sears lie and changed the entire request I paid for. It is disheartening when all my appliances are from Sears and I use to love to purchase items from them. Now I do not ever intend to buy anything from Sears because of the thievery that is going on. The young man just wanted to make the sale and then forwarded the wrong address on the contract. Now they want to only refund me a portion of what I paid because they made the mistake. I want full reimbursement of $766.67.

Desired outcome: Please Credit the entire amount I paid ($766.67) for when I requested three appliances in four rental properties. Totaling 12 appliances.

Sears Repair on whirlpool dishwasher rescheduled service four consecutive days (and counting)!

Service tech arrived for original first repair/assessment of repair. Tech determined that three parts needed to be replaced. Technician ordered parts during that first visit and scheduled my follow-up repair once parts were delivered to my home. Parts arrived well in advance as ordered. Date for scheduled repair and I received a call from a different technician that they were on the way to my house for the scheduled repair. I told the technician in the phone tgat I had requested that he not be scheduled for repairs for my appliances/didn't like his work. He said he could reschedule my appointment and I said that I did NOT want to reschedule. He rescheduled me any way and I continue to have problems getting accurate responses from customer svc when I call for answers. Keep getting rescheduled four consecutive days and I have not received a definite answer if tech is coming out today or not.

Desired outcome: I would like to have the new parts installed to repair the dishwasher. Also would like better customer service and accuracy from customer service!
