  • Sears Home Services Freezer Malfunction



    This review has been resolved or replied to by this company. After paying $600 to cover my freezer, fridge, and range, Sears won't come out for a week to repair my freezer. The control panel has gone out and they cannot say whether it will continue to keep the food frozen during that time. They will pay for part of the food if it stops working completely but the freezer would be ruined. They refuse to let me speak with a supervisor about possibly coming out at an earlier date. They placed us on hold and then conveniently disconnected us. After reading all the complaints about no-shows for appointments, I am quite concerned by their... More...

  • Sears Home Services Cabinet Refacing



    Sears Charged us $13,000 with countertops to reface our small kitchen. thout confirming with us making it difficult to get the job started. The work appeared good and we signed off as satisfied. Within a short period of time two of the cabinet doors started to come off. One cabinet didn't have enough screws to hold the door in place and nearly hit m in the head.Multiple calls were placed to customer service to get the job completed correctly. They put us off, were rude and didn't seem to understand the problem. This was in 9/12 and we wanted them to honor the warranty. So far... More...

  • Poor Water Heater Service & Unauthorized Credit Card Charges



    In July and August 2013, my wife and I spent approximately 15-20 hours on phone calls, working with Sears technicians at the house, and driving to multiple Sears locations attempting to resolve a problem with our new water heater. Sears Home Services spent about 8 hours with 2 technicians and $972.31 on new parts before we finally convinced them (after hours of effort) to just replace the water heater. Despite being promised that the new water heater would be installed the next day, we had to call back on that day only to find out that the installation date had been changed to over 2 weeks...

  • Sears Installation water heater



    Our 7 year old Sears water heater cracked 2 days ago. We were forced to shut off the water to the house because the intake valve was also shot (which Sears had installed when they installed the water heater) and it continued to leak unless we shut off the main valve to the house. We immediately called Sears to have someone come to repair or replace it. No one responded and after several calls the next day, a repair person finally came at 4 pm the next day. After paying him $89.00 said the water heater was cracked and needed to be replaced. We immediately called Sears to schedule the... More...

    Not satisfied at all with Sears Home Services. Tried to get them to come out for an estimate on a Saturday. First phone call, they gave me available times that day and a lead number. I called back the same day, gave the rep my lead number, and she said the appt. was scheduled and gave me the time. She then said that I would be emailed a photo of the person who was coming, the night before the appt. No further action required, right? Wrong!

  • Frigidaire Electric Dryer Needed to Be Repaired



    I scheduled an appointment for a Sears technician to come to my home on September 5, 2013 in the afternoone to repair my electric dryer. The guy showed up and spent a few minutes checking it out. Afterwards, he told me that I need a belt & a door/lid switch but that he would have to order the switch & would return a week later, September 12th to install both. He asked for a deposit of $173.27 so I wrote a check. On September 12, 2013 in the afternoon, I still had not heard from Sears Home Services or the technician & was waiting on him.

  • Dryer duct cleaning



    Sears is the worse company ever. I do not even know how they are in business. The hassles I have experienced have set me back two weeks and still no service. First, i call to get an appointment i'm scheduled for "next Saturday", okay great. Friday cones i get a confirmation call, great. Saturday comes no call and no show - I call them 2hours before the window closes they say you are next. I call them after the window closed they say you were called to reschedule, they left a voicemail -- no call, no voicemail. I reschedule to their recommended date, a week day and the morning...

  • Garage Doors: BUYER BEWARE!!



    Where do I start with this nightmare. My wife called Sears to have two replacement garage doors installed at our 85 year old home. The salesman showed up on time and he and my wife came to an agreement and we signed the invoice. That was the beginning of the worst service nightmare I've ever experienced. . . . and I'm in the service industry. Two weeks later Sears was scheduled to come and install the new garage doors. When they showed up they had the wrong size doors and we were told we would have to wait another two weeks for the "correct" doors to be re-ordered. Two... More...

  • Bad service on treadmill



    We always service our treadmill with Sears, however this time was the first time that the service was not covered by the extended warranty. The tech stayed in our house no more that 15 min and the only thing he did was to adjust the belt with an Allen wrench. He charged us $220. The "repair" last 3 days, after that was impossible (very dangerous) to use it. We were ready to buy a new one, but we decided first to take a look in YouTube, just in case. Bottom line, we repair the treadmill in few minutes (the belt from the engine was completely loose). So far It has been working great... More...

    Had a horrible experience with Sears Home Repair services. I have a Sears protection plan for my Frigidaire Chest Freezer. A few days after I purchased the protection plan, my temperature alarm started going off for no reason, even though the freezer is functioning properly. I called Sears service, and waited 10 days for someone to come to the house, they did, told me they had to order a part, and re-scheduled me for another 2 weeks out.

So we waited a total of 8 hours but still no technician.

  • Air Conditioning



    Air conditioner was replaced in 2012, 11 months later it stopped. Service called and they said it was not their problem and left. I call 7 times over 3 weeks but never had a tech call back. I got another company to fix it. It cost me $250.00. The original install was done incorrectly obviously because it has worked fine since. The 24v line had shorted out the transformer. The corporate office (case 1521531) tried to turf it off again to another department when I called. By this time I am fed up with the poor service and gave up. More...

  • Washer Repair



    When you first call Sears Home Repair, you feel like a valued customer – they seem so nice and accommodating. But that’s about where it ends. In May 2013, our washing machine stopped draining and was giving an error code. We called Sears to schedule an appointment. 3 days later was the next available appointment; but we decided to go ahead with it figuring that the long wait time was due to Memorial Day holiday. On the day of the appointment, we waited and waited and waited. We were given the window of 8am to 5pm which meant that my husband had to take an ENTIRE day of... More...

    Please NEVER buy anything from Sears! I had a terrible experience. The man that delivered my washing machine caused a water leak in my laundry room. They did nothing about it. He also ripped up my existing dryer duct and vent. I was unable to use my appliances and water was leaking until I was able to contact a plumber. I waited on hold constantly on the phone, was disconnected multiple times, and given the run around. A different delivery man came the next day to install a new dryer duct and didn't know how to do it! I continuously demanded to speak with a manager, but was never... More...

    Our Kenmore washing machine was malfuncitoning so I called Sears. The first time the repair person came it could not be fixed because of a part. Waited 5 days because of a part and the weekend. The next visit was an installation of the part and a successful diagnositic test without clothes. The machine did not run with clothes. The next appointment was 1 week away.

    My mother paid a lot of money to have the floor in her entire house done with ceramic tile and carpet. It has been a nightmare. It was supposed to be a four day job and it is going on six weeks now. The ceramic tile was installed horribly. Very uneven. It couldn't even be walked on without stubbing your toe! Ridiculous.

    My Kenmore Elite Range has been out for a month. Your repair team seems to have no clue how to find the problem. First visit result was wrong part identified. That wasted three weeks. Second visit had the right damaged part but not the reason the board was blown out. Third visit replaced the bad board which promptly blew out again because the problem had never been id'd. The best they can do is recommend a raft of new parts that cost over a thousand dollars and they still haven't found the problem. Their solution is give up on a two year old "Kenmore Elite" range.

First "troubleshooting" session (one week later) identified a part that was NOT the problem (while using top element there was a pop and the whole unit shut down). It was NOT the control unit. 2nd attempt (another two weeks later) I showed a burn mark on the back cover opposite the largest circuit board which was toasted and obviously NG. Tech "express ordered" that board. Another week later a tech installs new board which immediately... More...

    Please save yourself the hassle. I thought with the name Sears, they would be reliable and competent. They are the complete opposite. Our dryer wasn't drying the loads completely, so the first service guy came out and said there was a problem with the flame. So, 2 weeks later the parts were delivered and another service guy came out.

He told me he had to order the new parts which would take another 2 weeks. In the meantime, the dryer is now rattling... More...

I had a refrigerator repair yesterday. The technician was competent and all went well, AFAIK.
My complaint is about the cost. The labor charge was $200 to install a $20 part, and the total time from when he entered the house to when he left was 30 minutes. That's $400 an hour! Even if there were a one-hour minimum, that's $200/hour. TOO MUCH! I have 40 years of clinical experience as a therapist and Blue Cross reimburses me $88/hour.

Unacceptable customer service.
I purchased a service contract for my KitchenAid dishwasher and was told that a service technician would be at my home between 1 and 5. I called them back at 4 and was told someone would be there at 5. I called back at 5 and was told someone might be here about 7 because there were 3 people ahead of me but couldn't guarantee it. I asked to speak to a supervisor with no luck. The people I were dealing with sounded like they were all from the Philippines and was difficult to understand. I cancelled the contract the same day and will never use Sears again for anything. I will discourage anyone from using sears.
