kitchenaid oven repair
sears home services Consumer Complaint
My oven had uneven heat distribution, so we called Sears home services since they claim to be knowledgeable in Kitchenaid repair. The technician arrived, said we needed a new motherboard, ordered it, charged me $400 for part and labor, then said a real repairman would have to come out in 10 days to fix it. When second person came, he asked us if we knew where the repair part went since he wasn't familiar with Kitchenaid stoves. He couldn't fix it so scheduled another repairman to come a week later. That person said the part wasn't needed and could find nothing wrong with the...

replacement windows
sears home services Consumer Complaint
We odered replacement windows for our home in florida. We were told it would take 3-5 weeks for windows to come in. We waited 3 months and after numerous calls and excuses we finally had someone show up to install. It was suppose to be a crew..one man showed up and it took him 8 hours to do one window and messed it up. After several more calls we finally got 2 men to show up and finish the install. They had to come back again to caulk and finish the outside work and replace 2 broken screens. The installer that caulked the outside used non paintable caulking and made a mess and it...

horrible scheduling
sears home services Consumer Complaint
I have a Sears extended warranty service for almost every appliance in my home. My Kenmore washing machine was over filling and flooding so scheduled a repair service (order #000822840578030). They were supposed to be at my home between 10:00 am & 2:00 pm. They didn't come and didn't call. I tried to use the "real time tracking" they send a link for in the scheduling email, but all it does is say they are coming between 10:00 and 2:00. Finally at 3:00 the tech called to say he would be there in the next 30 min. At almost 5:00 he called again and said he...

Poor service experience
sears home services Consumer Complaint
I purchased a service agreement when I purchased my DGS 6500 Craftsman garden/lawn tractor. I%u2019ve even renewed the agreement several times. Big mistake. Originally Craftsman was the gold standard in Sears tools, but ever since Sears was bought out by K-Mart the quality and timeliness of the service has declined. I give my last encounter as an example. The first week of May 2017 I had a mower belt brake. I called to make an appointment and was told the earliest I could get one was on the 25th. I wanted to go take the mower to a local Sears shop, but was told it wouldn%u2019t be...

Kenmore dryer repair
sears home services Consumer Complaint
My Sears Kenmore dryer went out and I scheduled an appointment for a repair which took 5 days before a technician could come. The technician arrived on time and I was pleased with his service. Unfortunately, I had to call the service company again as the dryer still did not function properly. The service company was deplorable at best. The problem with the dryer was not fixed and they proceeded to tell me that I had to schedule another appointment, waiting another 6 days, in order to have someone come out again. Client service is not part of their business model and the way they handle...

Lawn tractor repair
sears home services Consumer Complaint
This is a Craftsman tractor purchased late in 2013. My husband used it twice before he died. Every time we have used this mower the drive belt becomes disengaged. We have had it repaired about 3 times prior to this. We waited 2-1/2 weeks for an appointment. The repair person charged us $337.14 to fix the mower. First time we used it the blade assembly dropped exactly like it did before the repair. I called Sears and the person said it would be another 3 weeks before the repair person could come again. I stayed on hold so long that the line hung up on me.

Sears Appliance Repair billing
sears home services Consumer Complaint
I have now been cheated by Sears home repair billing as they couldn't cut my 20% discount (around $80 ) since they closed the case. The reason for me choosing Sears Appliance repair was that a promotion for 20% for parts and labor was going on. They instead offered me a $30 gift card (which I refused). I know Sears is going through a rough patch but I didn't realize that they will cheat on their customers.

Last year, Sears Home Services came to service my washing machine and installed $198.24 in parts and charged me $158.36 in labor.

Lousy Customer Service
sears home services Consumer Complaint
We called in to Sears Home Services initially in July 2015 to have our washing machine fixed. It leaked water causing rotted floors, that we are still trying to get done, but our insurance company has been waiting on a quote from the technician. At first, we paid the fee for a technician to come and paid about $90 for a 2 years warranty. The technician placed an order on a part that took two weeks to get fixed. We called a day later, just to find out our service call was cancelled. They had to put in a new service call. The next booking we had was on August 11, to which a new technician...

No Response, No Refund
sears home services Consumer Complaint
I had a technician come out, diagnose a need for expensive parts, order them, and they arrived in a few days. So far, so good. But it would be weeks before they could come back to repair our refrigerator. Meanwhile we found a local man who fixed it without needing the parts. We returned the parts and were promised a refund.
That was months ago and still no refund.
Repeated calls result in repeated promises to either call me (first few promises) or email with a resolution. Within 24 hours. No calls or emails have come in.
What does it take to get action from these people?

I am extremely disappointed with Sears Home Repair services! I am demanding a full refund of the money I spent on my service call.
On April 6 we had a service call concerning our GE washer, purchased from Sears.
The service tech misdiagnosed the problem and gave an estimate of over $750 for the repair which I naturally refused. I had an independent service repair service come out and confirm that the problem was a broken mount on the inner basket and that it was covered 100% by warranty. He could not do the job since he was not GE certified.

GE fridge, ice maker leaking, ice dispenser broken by repairman

I'd always had good luck with repairmen from Sears in the past, so I bought their Home Warranty. In late January I called because I had ice dripping down the inside wall of my freezer. A repairman came five days later and said the ice chute wasn't working properly. I doubted this was the cause for all that dripping but the part was ordered and installed a week later.
The new ice chute door stuck open. The contractor came out three days later and lubed it. It worked for a while.
Meanwhile I still had water dripping inside my freezer. I let it continue to do so for a while...

Sears Replacement Window Warranty

In 1991 Sears replaced the windows in my house with energy efficient "lifetime" warranty windows. We have recently encountered some problems with some of the windows. I have the original paperwork which states the warranty documentation will be mailed after installation. I cannot locate the documentation and think it likely I never received it. Sears refuses to honor the warranty and will not even send a representative to look at the problem unless I agree to pay a $100 fee.
