On 03/20/20 we purchased a new ** front load washer, model WM3500CW, from a reputable appliance store. Starting on 04/29/22, the washer was getting louder. We had the appliance store tech come out on 05/07/22 to look at the washer. He verified that the washers bearings are bad. Contact was made with ** on 05/07/22 to help with the issue. They advised we would be responsible for all costs in repair. We feel that bearings should not go bad in a two year old washer.Business Response

In May of 2021 my wife and I purchased an ** refrigerator from *********** This specific unit was able to make ice (2 ice makers) and filter water. Upon receipt the unit was defective. The water maker had a smell coming that tasted like chlorine. The ice cubes tasted the same. I called tech support and had a number of techs from 2 different companies come out and evaluate the problem. After changing the water lines 3 times and replacing the entire water filtration systems the taste still persisted. The unit was deemed unfixable by *****************************, *********, **. and their report was forwarded to ** for their records. After contacting ** several more times without satisfaction I received a text from a specialist, she refused to call me. She had the nerve to offer me a rebate, amount was never disclosed. I declined and asked for a refund or a replacement unit. She refused to do either. This company does not work with their customers. I have tried to resolve this issue for a year without any satisfaction. I simply want another unit that works as advertised. I'm out $2500.00 for something I can't use. I contacted ********** and they tried to help me resolve the issuse with ** to no avail.Business Response

On 4/18/2022 my refrigerator stopped cooling. Called ** customer service. The compressor is under warranty for 10 years. I bought the refrigerator in September of 2018. ** told me they had to put in a repair order should be no longer than 7 days. I had to call them back because they said they couldnt find a tec in my area to come fix it. They said they had Escalate the order up to another department and I should hear back within 5 days. Again I had to call them back. To have them tell me that they had to escalate up to someone else and it would take another 6 days. Called them back again and was put on hold for 2 hours and they never picked up the phone. I hung up. Now I get a text telling me that they can offer me $1999.95 which doesnt cover what I paid for the refrigerator. Not to mention the cost to have a new one delivered and old one taken away. So I called them today and they said they prorated the cost of the refrigerator and that was all I could get. All I want is my refrigerator fixed or a new one that is comparable to the one I have now.Business Response

Purchased a TV from Best Buy in August 2021and when I opened the box it was damaged. They then scheduled an exchange because the tv is 86inches.

Well, ** was contacted early April and they still cannot find a repair team to fix my tv and two days ago it completely shut off and wont turn back on!!!! We paid $3000 for this TV and initially went to Best Buy but they dont warranty unless you buy an extra warranty from them so they simply said to contact the manufacturer. Here we are and still no response from *** I called ** today and was on hold twice for 30 minutes and all he basically said was that we have to wait for an email.
