  I am writing to formally file a complaint against Flamingo Appliance Services regarding two charges for a dishwasher repair.On May 29, 2025, I was charged $519.24 for a repair which I agreed to. The appliance failed shortly afterward, and on June 25, 2025, less than a month later, I was charged an additional $583.44 for a second service when they returned. I could have replaced the dishwasher entirely for far less than the total $1,100+ paid.Flamingo Appliance Services justified the repeated failure by citing a cockroach infestation. However, I have had professional pest control for many years and provided them with documentation proving the home is under consistent pest care.I believe this situation reflects unethical business practices and misleading guidance to a customer.

  Thank you for the opportunity to address your concern.  Our field management team has reviewed your service history and along side your complaint.  Please note that on 6/25/25 our technician did find a ***** infestation in your dishwasher; the pictures have already been provided to you (see attached). This finding was reported to the manufacturer ( SR#**********). The technician provided an estimate for the installation of a new control, including parts and labor.  Our warranty only applies if the part fails due to defects in material or workmanship.  Therefore, due to the infestation, we are not able to warranty the repair that was made on 5/29/25, additionally we do need to charge a $60 core charge for the previously installed control because we are not able to return an infested control. However, as courtesy, we have reduced the labor charge to $98.  Attached is the new estimate. Please note the estimate is good for 30 days.  If you would like to proceed with repair, please feel free to contact us at ************ so that we may collect the deposit.  Thank you.

  I am rejecting this response because: There is absolutely no justification to charge a customer in good faith over 1k in repairs on a dishwasher with a 3 week timeframe. I will not pay this.

  As previously advised, we are only able to honor our warranty if the part fails due to defects in material or workmanship, it does not cover infestation.  As a consumer, we understand if you do not want to proceed with the repair.   Thank you.

  Complaint: 23520495
  
  I am rejecting this response because: As of July 5, 2025 the dishwasher is malfunctioning again and not working. This is because Flamingo appliance did not fix my dishwasher after they serviced it in May and again when they serviced it in June. The dishwasher is for a 3rd time, not working after 1000 dollars in repairs. 
  
  Sincerely,
  
  May *********

  My dishwasher is not working again after 1000 dollars in repair cost. This is the bad reality of customer ********************** in 2025. Of course Flamingo Appliance Services is closing this claim. They were paid 1k and I still have a broken dishwasher I cannot not use. Its clear to see who has benefited. Terrible business.

  Refrigerator over 60 degrees, freezer over 40 degrees for the period of 2 months. No ice at all. Friday was 8th repair. No change in temperature of refrigerator or freezer. When calling on Monday I was told the repair order was closed out. Was told I had to start all over again by calling Whirlpool to complain and to receive further repair. Ive asked for a loaner refrigerator and was told no. My 9th repair was sent up again for this Friday, so I have no recourse until I find it is still not repaired, and have to wait the weekend to call for repair again. How can you leave a family with no refrigeration or freezer for this long? Inhuman. I want an expert in the field to troubleshoot this 2 month old disaster. Also, is there a food allowance because of the lengthy 2 months and still waiting? Or I get a new refrigerator at their expense?Thank you.

  I should give them ZERO STARS! I scheduled service through them for today. I received a text stating they would come between 3-6 today and a technician would call before coming. I ***lied to that text that I was home all day and if I missed the call have him still come. I am working on projects so may not hear the phone. THEY REPLIED THAT IT WAS CONFIRMED!The call came and I missed it by 2 minutes. TWO MINUTES! I immediately called back and was on hold. During that hold, I texted my confirmation again. I was on hold for 15 minutes and when the *** answered she told me too bad. They would have to reschedule me. I asked to speak with a manager and she refused to put one on the phone. I have proof of texts and them confirming my response. I can show the time of the received call and me calling them immediately back. THIS IS BEYOND UNPROFESSIONAL!

  Thank you for reaching out to us. We are sorry to hear that your appointment was not completed on the date scheduled. We understand the frustration as your time is valuable to us.  Our technicians need to follow a process to guarantee all our customer's appointments are *********************** within their assigned time frames. We need to have live confirmation when the technician is in route so they can proceed with the scheduled appointment. We apologize for any inconvenience that you have experienced.

  Response. Live confirmation should mean that you can call the person right back. In a 2 minute time frame of returning the call,  I should have reached someone. Being left on hold for 15 minutes is ridiculous. AND I immediately texted confirmation. My time was not valuable to you but even more clear, MY BUSINESS IS NOT VALUABLE TO YOU. I will have my appliance serviced elsewhere and I will continue to share how you treated me.

  Business Response

  Date: 05/02/2025

  We are sorry to hear about the trouble you're experiencing with your refrigerator. We understand how frustrating it can be to deal with a malfunctioning appliance and the inconvenience and financial burden it may cause. Unfortunately, we don't offer compensation for perishable items including but not limited to foods or medicine/medical items due to failure or malfunction. However, we recommend contacting the manufacturer directly, as they may have options available under your warranty. 
  

  Thank you for your understanding.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 05/02/2025

  Thank you for your response and for suggesting we contact the manufacturer regarding compensation for the loss of our refrigerator contents. However, we would like to clarify that this issue originated with the service performed by Flamingo Appliance Service.

  
  The service appointment on April 14, 2025 (Job #*******) was requested to determine why the refrigerator occasionally tripped the breaker. At that time, the unit was cooling properly and fully operational.

  
  During the April 14 service visit, the Flamingo technician replaced the motor and heater. However, the following day (April 15), we discovered the refrigerator was no longer cooling. We immediately contacted Flamingo by phone, text, and email, but received no response.

  
  As a result of the lack of follow-up, Whirlpool scheduled a service call with another provider, ***************** (Job #HRC4505352). Their assessment revealed that the motor installed by Flamingo had failed and needed to be replaced again.

  
  Given these circumstances, it is clear the issue was caused by the initial repair performed by Flamingo, and not a pre-existing fault. We respectfully request this be taken into account in any review of responsibility and compensation for the spoiled contents of our refrigerator.

  Unfortunately, this cancellation prevented us from reassessing your appliance and providing our technician with the opportunity to repair it.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  I am rejecting this response because, until I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and contacted their corporate office, Flamingo Appliance failed to respond to any of my multiple requests for assistance (please see attached text messages and emails).

  On May 1st, I contacted Flamingo Appliance to express my frustration and requested a representative reach out to me directly to discuss the matter. Rather than addressing my concerns, the representative instead scheduled a service call.

  Subsequently, I informed Flamingo that ****** was now assisting me with the repair issue.

  We are extremely disappointed with the lack of responsiveness and follow-through by Flamingo Appliance Service, especially considering the problem arose immediately after their initial repair. Despite multiple attempts to seek help, there was no meaningful engagement or resolution.

  We respectfully request acknowledgment of this timeline and appropriate action to rectify the inconvenience and loss we have experienced.

  I need help getting the 2 businesses to work together on the back end (Intercompany)************:30 a.m. Called and talked to Whirlpool Representative **** From ********. *** ********** We let him know we have had the ************* replaced several times and 2 burners replaced. He said Flamingo had not annotated such and to call and request Flamingo update our Addresss Service History. He stated that it must come from Flamingo.*************:20 a.m. Flamingo Representative ***** said she could send our Addresss Service History to us and we should send it to Whirlpool. I let her know the Whirlpool Representative stated it is required to come from Flamingo. Flamingo Representative ***** said they do not have an email address for Whirlpool. She said they are not allowed to contact Whirlpool. She wants me to get the email address for them. I believe this should be done with their Liaison with Whirlpool. She insisted they could not do this. I asked for a supervisor. She started spewing out policy and Call Spiels that was totally irrelevant. I repeated over 20 times to get a supervisor on the line. She insisted on continuing on with giving excuses why they could not send our Addresss Service History to Whirlpool. I kept repeating my request for a supervisor for about 10 minutes. Finally, she put me on hold and sent a request for a supervisor. When she came back she informed me that a supervisor would give me a call.

  Good afternoon. We apologize for any confusion or miscommunication on our part.  One of our Customer ********************** Supervisors has reached out to you via email and had advised that the service history on your appliance has been emailed to Whirlpool.  It has been communicated to Whirlpool on your behalf that you are requesting a product exchange. Once we hear back from *********, we will email you their response.  Thank you.

  While I am not happy with the Flamingo appliance repairs response, I understand their position.  On that note, you may close the case.
  
  However, action should be made to improve fragile circuitry to prevent Electrostatic Discharge
  from affecting products. This would not be Flamingo Appliance Repairs responsibility but rather the manufacturers' of all appliances.  Which in this case would be Whirlpool.

  Thank you for your time and assistance.

  I began a service complaint on my Whirlpool refrigerator 2/27/2025 because it was not cooling. I called them and they stated to unplug my device and let it defrost which I did. A few days later - this did not work and they proceeded to tell me that the seal is covered under warranty by *********. She offered to schedule me an appointment. The appointment was 3/10/2025 - they didn't have anything earlier - even though they stated they would try an escalate a sooner appointment. The guy came out from Flamingo Whirlpool Service and kept arguing with me regarding their service fee - which Whirlpool advised I would not have to pay. He finally called his office and stated looking at the fridge and confirmed that it does have a leak. He didn't have the part of the truck and we would need to wait for another appointment. My freezer at this point was confirmed to be reading at 34 degrees and I had move the majority of the food over to the freezer. Flamingo followed up and sent me a text to have the second service appointment scheduled for 3/28/25. The same tech came in again and completed the parts and was here for about 1 1/2 hours. He stated that the fridge would go through the defrosting operations twice before returning to normal function. During the day I noticed that the freezer was getting hotter and didn't think much about it since he said it would return to normal function. The fridge never came back to normal and in fact it reads 74 degrees now in the freezer and fridge. I texted the tech and he said I would need to contact with Whirlpool, I called Whirlpool and since the extended warranty wasn't purchased by them - they hung up. I finally got through the chat option with Whirlpool, all they did was schedule another appointment with Flamingo and guess what - I have to wait until 4/10/25. Crazy! Spoke to *****, the manager and he stated over and over again that I must go through *********. I just want my fridge replaced at this point!

  We are sorry to hear your appliance is malfunctioning.  As a consumer myself, I understand the frustration this can cause.  As we strive to complete repairs the first visit, some repairs may take multiple visits due to the complexity of the malfunction your appliance is experiencing.   Due to the nature of the current times, availability has been affected in some areas.  We are working diligently to improve availability in order to provide all our valued customers a faster turnaround time. 
  
  A Customer ********************** Supervisor has contacted you and coordinated a service appointment for the technician and his Field Service Supervisor for Wednesday, 4/9 (11-2).
  
  Please note that we are not authorized to honor your request for a new dishwasher.  That is a warranty issue that you would need to address directly with the manufacturer, as they are the only ones authorize to make such a determination.  I suggest you contact Whirlpool directly at ************ to explore what options are available to you. 
  
  We are sorry for any inconvenience that you have experienced. We look forward to completing your repair soon.

  We bought a new home that had a Whirlpool Microwave and Oven combo. Within the first year, the microwave started to go on the *****. We called the warranty company and they sent out Flamingo. Flamingo had a technician come out and they replaced the board. The microwave worked for a while with occasional bumps along the ******** forward 2.5 years, the microwave stops working. We set an appointment with Flamingo as we are no longer under warranty. The technician comes out and within 5 minutes tells me that it is not repairable. I ask him how he could determine it so quickly and he tells me that it is fried on the inside. He could replace the board but I would have the problem again in the future and he is being "professional" in telling me that I need to replace the entire unit.I call flamingo corporate and ask them why they didn't "replace the unit while it was still under warranty in 2022. Their response was that the warranty company always wants them to repair first. Sounds like the technician did exactly what the "professional" technician would not do. He replaced the board knowing that it was fried and as the consumer who doesn't know anything about microwaves, I believed him.I then ask, if it is their policy to always try to repair the unit, why did the new tech decide that it wasn't repairable after only 5 minutes, the response was "I understand your frustration". No definitive ********** appears that this repair company has a relationship with ********* that they are being sure to protect and the consumer keeps getting screwed. The least they could've done was not come out and charge me but I guess that would've let me know that they knew there was a problem.The consumer loses in these corporate partnerships.

  Thank you for bringing this to our attention. After thorough review of your service history, it appears that your appliance possibly had multiple issues. The initial issue in 2002 was able to be repaired.  Most recently, on 3/11/25, our certified technician assessed your appliance, took pictures and reported his findings to the manufacturer who then deemed the appliance unrepairable. You may contact the manufacturer at ************ and provided ** #********** to discuss any options available to you.

  he also told me on the phone that he could replace the board but it will have the same result and only work temporarily. Which this was done the first time while I was under warranty and they would not replace.

  I have a service contract with them for my Whirlpool range. They have been to my home 3 times for the same problem, and have not fixed it. I have asked for a supervisor on the phone (no) and/or to come to my house with the service tech (no), I was promised a supervisor and tech line would be available for the tech to call when he came today; supervisor told him to call the tech line, he did, but they were in training and could not help. I was told the **** had already ordered 3 parts so he could replace them today. He came empty handed. I was promised everyone would be available. I have tried to contact the owner; a customer ********************** manager responded to the email. I asked the tech to call the supervisor and ask him to call me. He called the supervisor, and the supervisor refused to talk to me or call me. I yelled out "I want to talk to you." The supervisor told the tech to leave. The tech walked out of my house, leaving my oven on, and did not repair my range.

  Flamingo did finally come back and apparently fixed my range.  My biggest issue with them was their lack of customer **********************.  They refused to allow me to speak to a supervisor.  They did everything possible to make the situation worse.  They treated me terribly.  It took many phone calls, complaint to the BBB, Whirlpool and the warranty contract company and the threat of a lawsuit before they finally came back and fixed my stove.  They are a horrible company.

   

  Their response to you did not address any of the issues regarding customer **********************.  They refuse to allow Supervisors to speak to customers; they do not return calls; the refuse to transfer a call to anyone else; they make promises that are not kept; they walk out of appointments because I insisted on speaking to the supervisor who was on the phone with the service tech!  Instead, the service tech was instructed to leave.

  I have had my washing machine being worked on by this company since January. It is now March and the appliance is still not repaired. They continue to say they need to order more parts, techs do not show up, call out, and they re-schedule me for the next week. Horrible tech service, no phone number to call or escalate situations, customer ********************** states they can only put in a ticket and reschedule.

  Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are sorry to hear your appliance is malfunctioning.  We understand the frustration this causes. While we aim to complete repairs on the first visit, some issues require multiple visits due to their complexity. Please note that we depend on manufacturers and parts distributors for necessary components.  A technician calling out is beyond our control, and we share your frustration as we understand your time is valuable. We are doing our best to provide faster turnaround times despite current challenges.

  
  On 3/3/25, a Customer ********************** Supervisor contacted you and rescheduled your appointment from 3/7 to 3/6. At your request, this matter has been escalated to a Customer ********************** Manager, who will contact you soon.

  
  We apologize for any inconvenience.

  I reached out to *********** for an authorized service provider and they gave me this company. I called because one of my burners was not working. I was told the service tech would come out and diagnose the problem and should have part available. I paid $149 for the "service tech" to come out and go yep your burner is not working. I don't know what part is bad and it will be $600 - $800 to fix it. WHAT A RIP OFF! They should be ashamed they are taking money from hardworking people and they did nothing. They were more interested in my ******* fridge and if I had ice maker problems. DO NOT USE THEM.

  Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.  Our minimum labor charge of $149.00 is a nonrefundable fee that is part of the estimate provided. This fee is to have a technician dispatched to your home to physically diagnose your appliance and provide a diagnosis based on his assessment. The technician will provide an estimate for the repair, including parts and labor.   Our technicians need to physically inspect the unit to ensure an accurate diagnosis before ordering the parts needed for the repair. Once the technician has physically evaluated the appliance, he will advise what part(s) are needed.  The description of the problem provided by the customer is used to provide the technician with prior knowledge of the issue, it does not serve to guarantee that the technician will have the part on hand to complete the repair. 
  
  Please note that different part failures may mimic the same symptom, and our technicians are required to diagnose the issue to determine was part(s) would be needed to complete the repair. There are scenarios that based on the appliance and complexity of the repair an estimate is provided that may include a part that may eventually not been needed.  This is done to provide transparency to our customers as to what their repair may cost.  We do not charge for any parts not installed. Please note that you do have 30 days from the date of your service appointment to proceed with your repair and we do stand behind our work and provide a warranty on completed repairs.

  I am rejecting this response because:there was no diagnosis - unless you think my turning on the burner that does not work and him going yes it does not work. He couldnt even identify what needed to be replaced. So no - there was no diagnosis. You are ripping people off.
