    I have a Kenmore Model 1068263980 upright freezer Serial No. *********. Earlier this year, the seal failed and I requested repair. This business installed a new seal and when the serviceman came out he said that it would fit my model and yet he had to physically stretch it and later I noticed the seal still was not good. He came back to adjust it and he stretched again he used a hot gun. It did not seem normal but I am not an expert. I am at a loss because it is still not sealing correctly and I am getting too much frost and it I am concerned about food safety. I would have used the $274.26 towards a new freezer if a correct seal was not available. I have attached a website that shows that ******** is supposed to be correct, so I am wondering if a wrong part was substituted. The business is telling me that Kenmore made a bad recommendation of that part for my freezer and that I should call them, even though they are the people that ordered it.

    Absolutely unacceptable business practice. We contacted them to have them service our washer. They stated that they would be able to fix it, or at least come out and look at it, but that they would be roughly two weeks out. As inconvenient as that was, we understood the time frame and agreed to a 1 pm- 4 pm on 10/27. We even received a text message confirming the time frame. After waiting for the entire time frame and not receiving any call/update, I had to call the company to ask for an update. At that time, the representative **** joked about how it was only *************************************************************************** to provide an update that the technician was running behind the scheduled time frame, which again, ended 12 minutes prior. I told him I needed to speak with my wife about it to see if we wanted to continue to use their service as we were extremely unhappy. We decided that even after how unacceptable they were, we really did not want to have to wait another couple weeks for our washer to be repaired. I called back to advise them that we were extremely unhappy but that we would have to use their service. **** asked what part of their service was unacceptable as we agreed to the two week appointment. He continued to think it was acceptable to not call during the scheduled time frame to provide any sort of update on the technicians arrival. I then attempted to call back after cancelling the appointment to speak with management about the situation and my phone would no longer complete the call, however my wifes phone would. Once on the line, **** then transferred me to a manager ***** who also did not answer. We find this practice completely unacceptable especially for a business that has been around for so long. Would not recommend.
