I purchased a window AC unit 08/02/2023 from Lowes. On 07/09/2024 my Ac unit was having an issue, turning off by itself. I called the company with my receipt and was advised someone would call me back case H3297743. 07/15/2024 call from Hisense they are sending a replacement, allow 3-5 days for the new unit. 07/18/2024 rcvd VM stating they are issuing a refund they do not have the unit in stock. Fast forward to 08/06/2024, Call stating they needed to verify my address for the refund to be mailed to. I called 08/07/2024 to ask for status, and was advised the refund check was mailed 07/30/2024. Today 08/07/2024 I rcvd a text stating I must cut the cord. I called and was advised by the manager ******, they will not send a refund, until I cut the cord. I have health issues, live in *******, and I am not able to cut the cord, and wait 2 weeks for a refund check. What is the point of a warranty if I have no other options? I CAN NOT cut the cord, even tho it goes off at times, it turns back on, and due to my HEALTH related issues, i can not be w/out AC. I am asking kindly for resolution to my issue please. Being elderly, living in ******* with temps over 100 plus humidity everyday is challenge with AC, not w.out.I never asked for a refund, I only want my unit to work, Send me a new unit, pleaseBusiness response

Good afternoon,
Hisense USA would first like to apologize for the inconvenience this delay has caused, but we thank you for providing us with all of the information needed to assist. We've reviewed the initial case, ** images, and email thread and have determined that this is a panel defect and will be processing this unit under our Tech Direct Panel Destroy program. This process involves a technician scratching out the ** panel and harvesting the parts to de-warrant the unit. Once we receive images from the technician confirming the panel has been destroyed we will then process the customer for an exchange or refund based on our stock availability.
A technician will be reaching out to the customer tentatively in 2-4 business days to confirm a date and time for the service appointment. If there are any additional questions or concerns, the customer can contact our ********************** support line at ************ and reference new case number H3356086.

I bought a Hisense ** 08/10/21 from Amazon and also purchased a 4 Yr warranty with *********** My ** ahs been having issues, so ******* sent out ** repair men who replaced every part in my ** including the motherboard. after still having problems and getting error messages, the repair men came back out and said it was a software issue. stating I should get a hold of Hisense and they should replace my **. I Hisense first 3 reps tried to help me and kept escalating my case to someone else. I was emailed a link from one tech to download new software after he looked up my version. I followed instructions to put save to a *** and install on my **. the file was a zip and in a PKG format. saving with FAT32 per directions. directions said to unzip before saving to *** . I have two unzip apps but nothing would unzip the file, so I saved a copy without unzipping and called Hisense. there tech told me to load the *** and install with what I saved that it wouldn't hurt anything. It still wouldn't load and when we tried to look nn the ** for the software version it no longer said and had like time numbers. I asked if they could unzip the files onto a *** and send me. She said , she wasn't sure if they could. That she would escalate it and call me back. (I'm not asking for a new **, only help with their corrupt, or bad software)When she called she said they were going to send me an email stating I was beyond my 1 yr. warranty and that letter should be all I needed for Asurion to replace my **. I asked what if they don't and was given a text link to contact her back if I had problems. When I contacted ******* they said that software was not covered in my plan. That it was on Hisense. I tried texting the link from the Hisense tech twice but received no answer. Hisense now keeps saying I'm out of warranty and I have to pay for a ** tech to come out and load my software. My Smart ** does have an auto update, which says, up to date. Every time I turn my ** on I get different errorsBusiness response

Good afternoon,
Hisense apologizes for the inconvenience this has caused. We've reviewed provided documents, system cases, and emails from the customer and understand how frustrating this can be. Unfortunately, because this unit is out of warranty, we cannot provide any additional assistance with this issue from what we've already given. We escalated the software issue to our team and they confirmed that the software file is able to be downloaded, unzipped, and extracted as instructions suggest from our website link below.
****************************************************************************************************************
Our warehouse inventory has been checked and we no longer have USB drives to send out to customers. If the customer's extended warranty with Asurian Co.is still valid, we recommend receiving mainboard repair assistance from them as well. Once again we do apologize for this inconvenience and hope the customer can get assistance with their extended warranty.

The internal speakers on the ** set simply quit working and all posted troubleshooting has been tried multiple times. I reached out to the company's service department and initially receive some replies although often they ask for information that had already been provided. Then they simply have not responded at all for some period of time and no resolution seems to be going forward. Would like for them to exchange the ** for one that works since it's problems developed just outside the 30-day window to return it to the ******* store and it does have a 1-year warranty.Business response

I bought the stove and it had a gas leak on install. **** a hisense rep said that he would send a part out and would reinstate the manufacture warranty once the part was installed by a tech from a list of companies that he provided. I did so. a few days later we used the oven for the first time and it caught fire shortly after turning it on. I reached back out and **** from hisense and he said that they wont take responsibility since it happened after the tech installed the part and that it should be cover under the techs insurance. the tech from prompt appliance said that the stove needs to be completely replaced and that the part was installed correctly. I have reached no resolution with either hisense or prompt appliance. Either way, this is the company that hisense gave me to install the part. if the company that hisense tells me to use cannot install the part correctly; like hisense is saying. They should resolve the issue by refunding me and work to recover they money/ rethink who they recommend to fix their appliances.Business response

Good afternoon, Thank you for taking the time to express your concerns. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. After reviewing your case, it seems you have already been advised that your unit is out of warranty due to physical damage as well as concerns with the work that was done by the service provider should be covered by the service provider's insurance.
We understand that this is not the outcome you were hoping for, and we regret any inconvenience this may cause. While we cannot offer a repair under our warranty, if you purchased an extended warranty through your retailer, you may speak with them regarding their extended warranty process.
Please let us know if you have any questions or if there is anything else we can assist you with. We value your business and hope to continue serving your needs in the future.Initial Complaint

We purchased a Hisense fridge/freezer from Lowes on June 8th and it was delivered on June 10th, and it worked for just about 30 days and stopped working. Once it stopped working I requested an ** number, per Lowes direction to get the unit swapped out. I contacted Hisense and was told this was not an option and that they would need to send out a technician. The file was opened on 07/17 after numerous calls and attempts to discuss this failure. The work order was then finally put in place on 07/19. I was given the contact for a technician and the parts were then ordered. I contacted the technician and they did not know anything about my repair. Upon receipt of the parts, which was on 07/26, I called again and they had a little more information. The technician made an appearance to repair today, 07/30. He was there for 5 minutes stating that the company ordered and sent the wrong parts and that the unit is more than likely unrepairable. I called the Hisense office with this information and again requested an ** number for replacement to which I was again denied. I am requesting the ** to rid myself of this unit which has already rotted my food and left us without a fridge for multiple weeks.Business response

Good morning,
Thank you for taking the time to express your concerns. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We have reached out the technician and confirmed your unit does have a freon leak. We will be providing ****** with a Return Authorization. Once this is processed the retailer will contact you to process a refund or an exchange at their discretion. Please note, the process of returning the unit will be the same method that was used to transport the unit to your home originally, e.g. if ****** delivered it, ****** would pick it up. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

I purchased Hisense refrigerator. It does not stay cool and leaks water. I lade my first call to them on 4/30/24 and my issue is still not resolved as of today 7/27/24. I have called no less than 30 times and have talked to several agents that assure me that I will receive a call back and I never do. They have supposedly assigned three different companies to my case and every time I call each one of these companies theyre saying that no they will not do the case and that I need to take it up with Hisense. All the while I have not had a working refrigerator in 3 months. The company refuses to communicate and is running me in circles. At this point I would like to reimbursed for the cost of the refrigerator so that Incan purchase a nee one as well as the cost of having to purchase food daily for 3 months because the refrigerator does not work. They do not communicate and have been lying to me for 3 months about fixing my refrigerator that is still under warranty. I want my money back and reimbursement for food expenses.Business response

I am rejecting this response because:I spoke to the business Hisense referenced on Monday and they said that Hisense did not approve the company to come out. I talked to Hisense and they are talking in the same circles as they have been since 4/30. There is no estimated date on when my refrigerator will be fixed. They HAVe NOT reached out to me and my refrigerator is still broken 3 months later. As I stated I want to be reimbursed for having to purchase food daily and to be reimbursed for my refrigerator or have it replaced. I will be having my lawyer contact Hisense.

Hello,
First we'd like to thank you for providing this update. We did have our servicing team reach out to another service provider in the customer's area but unfortunately they did not have an R600 technician on hand to provide proper service. The customer's case is now being processed for a Return Authorization. Please allow ***** hours for this authorization to be sent over to the retailer of the unit. Once the authorization is processed the customer will be able to reach out to the retailer and return the defective unit back to them for an exchange or refund (this is at the discretion of the retailer). If there are any additional questions or concerns, please contact Hisense support at ************ and reference case number H3308167.
