    I call *** they tell me that my condenser is covered and give me your number. When I call to schedule I tell the operator that my fridge is 6 years old and that ** said my parts are covered under warranty for 10 years. So, I make the appointment to have you guys come out and pay the $139 fee. When the gentleman arrives at my house and I tell him the same story I told your scheduler he tells me that your company is not going to submit for reimbursement from *** because ** doesnt cover it after more than five years I explained to him thats not what ** told me and that I have a 10 year warranty and I even show him in the manual the warranty information. He still tells me that I am going to have to pay for all the parts and that his company wont submit it to ** because they dont get paid on it then shows me an estimate for almost $1000. You want me to keep paying the $139 but I dont see how this is my fault. If that is what your technician is going to say why would your scheduler not tell me that when I call, why would I have paid you $139 to come out to my house if I knew in advance thats youre not going to submit for parts. I completely feel scammed and then your management wasnt very helpful at all so I filed the chargeback and Im resorting to posting online, its really not cool to make your customers feel scammed and even if you made a mistake, the customer isnt the one who should be eating the cost for that. This took place on March 8th, 2024. The short ofthis is, i feel that if the technician knew that they wont submit for warranty past 5 years, why would the scheduer not tell me that when I spoke to him and scheduled a service call. I never would have paid the fee if I knew in advance they wont submit for parts. I told them my fridge was 6 years old and purchased in 2018.

    We recently had your company come out and repair our ******* refrigerator. We were having issues with our ice maker not working at all and freezing over and a loud buzzing noise coming from the refrigerator that would stop once you opened the refrigerator doors and then begin again once the doors had been closed.According to *******, anything to do with the ice maker was completely covered by warranty for parts and labor. When the technician was out last week, they advised that there were a few additional things that needed to be fixed and that parts needed to be ordered. The technician estimated that the cost would be around $560.00, which included the ice maker. ******* advised that parts and labor for the ice maker are completely covered, and the technicians order was updated stating same when the technician was first out at our house.The technician was back out to complete the repairs on Monday, March 18th. The technician arrived at our house around 3:10 p.m. and was done with the repairs before 4:00 p.m. It took the technician less than an hour to complete the repairs.I received the invoice, which I am attaching to this email for your reference. As you will see from the invoice, we were charged $257.76 for the 3 parts and $326.70 for labor. According to the person at your company that I spoke with yesterday, the labor is not done on an hourly basis but for the work that was completed.So here is my question to you, how can you be sure that the $326.70 for labor that we are being charged was not for anything that had to do with the ice maker if you are not able to provide a breakdown of the labor charges?Have sent emails to the company but have received no response. When I spoke to someone at the company it was pretty much "nothing I can do".
