  • Sears treadmill repair service



    I had a technician (called via the 800 number 1-800-424-2047) come out to diagnose a treadmill problem on January 30, 2014. The diagnosis was a motor controller board was bad and it needed a rear roller. I was informed by the technician that I had 60 days to decide if I wanted to have the treadmill repaired that the $96.00 would be deducted from the total cost of the repair. I called back the service center on March 5, 2014. I requested the same technician so as to avoid any hassles. I was informed that it was 80% likely that it would be the same technician. I was also informed that the... More...

  • Washing machine not draining



    Called Sears on Saturday due to recurring error code on washer and washer not draining. Was given an appointment for 1:00 the following Tuesday. Tuesday comes and around 3:00 haven't heard from them so I call and find out it's a 1:00-5:00 window. At 4:00 someone calls to tell me service tech will not arrive until after 5:00 PM. Okay. Several more phone calls from Sears and tech finally arrives at 7 PM. He looks up code, says it needs a new pump which he has in his truck. Installs said pump and is done and out the door by exactly 8:00 PM. He said he did a test run and it... More...

  • Sears Service Smart Agreement on Whirlpool refrigerator



    Called Sears to have our side-by-side refrigerator serviced in October 2013. They suggested we go with a "Service Smart" agreement which would limit our out-of-pocket costs if the fix weren't simple or took more than one service call. Also would give us a year of additional warranty and if they couldn't fix, they would give us a $500 Sears credit toward a replacement refrigerator. Sounds reasonable so we went for it. First call, the technician said we needed a new control board and he would order it and return after we received it. The board came fast, but the... More...

  • Sears appliance service sucks!



    We have had Sears service contracts on several appliance for years and their service keeps getting worse. On the most recent visit the technician told me he works for a group Sears outsources the work to. That might be ok except the same washer just failed again and the best they can do is send someone out in 2 1/2 weeks. We have a three year old dishwasher that had an electronic part fail. it took them at least three months to get the right part. After about two months and a couple visits we gave up and called a local dealer who fixed it within a couple days. Sure enough a month later... More...

  • Sears broken dishwasher and NO CALL NO SHOW technician



    My Samsung dishwasher gave off an "OE" error and would no longer run. I purchased the item from Sears in July of 2012 for about $1,000 out the door. I called Sears and my service appointment was scheduled for 8:00am to 12:00pm on 12/31/13. The item was no longer under warranty. I called Sears all day long and never received a call from the technician (ID #0025239). I spoke with several people who were no doubt outside of the U.S. I was conned into spending $250 for an extended warranty on my Samsung dishwasher, which conked out only 1 1/2 years after installation. So here I... More...

  • 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...

  • 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...

    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...

    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.

  • 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...

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.

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.

    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 took the entire dryer apart and "worked" on it for about 2 hours only to tell me that the parts that were ordered were wrong. 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.
