      I have requested maintenance on the WASH machines in my building and every time they resolve my support tickets nothing is done to repair the machine. Not once has the out of order error been removed or power restored. I have spent way too much money on these failing machines and now I have to call them every time I need a refund because of machine failure. Horrible business horrible response time. They are not the best laundry company skip them at all costs

      Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this situation has caused.

      According to our records, the first repair request was placed on March 29th, 2025, for a dryer taking money but would not start. On the 31st our technician visited the property to evaluate the machine and determined it needed a new part to complete the fix. This repair is still on hold pending a part and out technician will be out as soon as possible once we can complete the repair. Thank you for your patience as we work to resolve the issues.

      Additionally, if you need a refund for lost funds due to the machine malfunction, we will need to gather any transaction information you have in order to verify a fair refund amount. Please email us at ************************************************************** with your transaction details so we can better assist with your refund request.

      Machines frequently stop working after paying for them to wash clothes. It is very inconvenient plus you lose your soap, antibacterial solution, plus smell good Crystal added to the machine and then I have to double pay just to finish washing my already wet clothes into another machine a pay for that, plus add more soap, antibacterial solution, and smell good Crystals to my wash and the company refuses to compensate fully financially for the inconvenience plus materials added to the wash and for additional washing. I find it very inconvenient, frustrating and financially inappropriate that the company refuses to fully recompensate for this inconvenience while using their machines. As this seems to happen repeatedly with at least four washer machines everytime my clothes get washed

      Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and understand your frustration. After reviewing the service history at this location, it appears that five machines were reported out of order (displaying an error code). On 3/20/2025, our technician visited the property, ran test cycles on the machines, and confirmed the machines were in working condition.

      If you need a refund or have any open issues that we've missed, please feel free to contact us directly so we can gather the details required to make things right.

      We understand the customer's concerns and appreciate the opportunity to clarify the situation further. Upon receiving the original complaint, we reviewed the billing history and confirmed that the charges in question reflect a correction to prior services rendered. This was not an overcharge or an error in service delivery, but an adjustment to ensure accurate billing based on services provided. 

      We understand unexpected charges can be frustrating, but we do our best to notify customers of this billing adjustment. In this case, while the correction is valid, we are happy to work directly with the customer to discuss the balance and review available options.

      I am writing to file a formal complaint against WASH Multifamily Laundry Systems, for their repeated breaching of a contractual agreement to provide and service an efficient washing machine for our 16-unit residential complex. The contract (attached), signed with a company approximately 10 years ago (and later acquired by WASH) , was intended to last only 4 years. It explicitly states that any equipment malfunction would be repaired within 6 working hours. However, in reality, our ONLY washing machine often remains out of order for weeks at a time (see latest emails)Despite countless requests, WASH Multifamily Laundry Systems has consistently failed to fulfill its service obligations. Every time we contact them to address breakdowns, they either do not respond in a timely manner or offer short-term fixes that do not prevent repeated failures. These prolonged outages cause significant inconvenience and hardship for our residents, who have no alternative on-site laundry facilities, causing tension and frustration.Furthermore, we have attempted multiple times to cancel this agreement to seek services from another provider, but our efforts have been repeatedly blocked byWASH Multifamily Laundry Systems . They insist on enforcing only the terms that favor them, such as a first right of refusal, while disregarding their clear obligations to maintain the equipment in working ************ essence, we no longer wish to remain bound to a company that fails to honor its contractual promises, causing us unnecessary inconvenience and expense. We request the removal of the malfunctioning machines and the immediate nullification of this contract on grounds of ongoing breaches and unprofessional conduct.Thank you for your attention to this matter. We respectfully ask for the BBBs assistance in resolving this dispute and ensuring our rights as consumers are protected.

      **Complaint Title:** Unauthorized ************* of Resolution **Complaint Details:** I am filing a complaint against the WASH CONNECT APP regarding an unauthorized $10 charge to my account. After reviewing my usage history, I found no overuse of the app. Once my balance reached $0, I switched to alternative payment methods, ensuring no further charges should have been incurred. When I reached out to the companys support team to dispute the charge, they claimed it was my fault for using the app after funds became available. However, this is incorrect. I requested evidence to support their claim, but they have failed to provide any proof of overuse. Instead, they speculated that I may have lost network service, which never happened. Despite my attempts to resolve the matter, they have refused to investigate the possibility that this charge was an error on their end. This company is billing customers without proper verification and refusing to provide clear evidence when disputed. I am requesting a full refund of the incorrect charge and a formal review of their billing practices to prevent similar issues from happening to others. I appreciate the BBBs assistance in holding them accountable for fair and transparent business practices. **Desired Resolution:** Full refund of the $10 charge and an internal review of their billing practices.
