      Complaint Type:
      Product Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      Sears Home Services charged me $700 for a repair that did not work, and they are not refusing to respond to my requests for a refund. On March 1, 2024, a Sears technician came to my condo to repair GE washer-dryer combo. He admitted that he didn't know anything about these machines, but then said that the control board needed to be replaced. After he guaranteed that would resolve the issue and said I would get a refund if the repair didn't work, I agreed to the $700 on parts and technician services.A second technician installed the new parts on Friday, March 15, 2024. After the repair, my washer-dryer was still broken, and I called then Sears to put in a request for a refund. I called Sears Home Services multiple times and connected with 3 customer ******************** representatives. All of them either hung up on or disconnected me without any assistance after I told them I needed to submit a request for a refund. After that, their automated phone system started automatically rerouting my phone calls to automated menus with no option to speak to a person. At one point, I was given the email address ************************************* which I immediately emailed and received no response.I then called from a different phone because I knew my primary phone number was being automatically rerouted. I was on hold for 12 minutes before I got connected to a customer service, who put me on hold after I told her I needed a refund and never returned to the call.On March 18, I was given a different email address ************************************ via the chat function on the Sears Home Services website, and the chat rep said that the previous email address rep I was given was incorrect. I assume I was given an incorrect email address as another means of preventing me from getting a refund. The chat rep also gave me a phone number to call, but that phone number didn't work.This company didn't perform the service they agreed to, charged me $700, and is now refusing to respond to my request for a refund.

      Paid for this warranty for almost 10 years with no claims. A/C went out in the middle of this summer. It is July 17 and the first appointment is mid-August? We would be COOKED by then. Dont waste your money. Put the monthly payment in an account and just pay cash. I made 1 phone call and someone is coming this afternoon. Waste and cannot get my money back for the years of paying...
