Ordered a part for my washing machine. It never shipped. Eventually got an email that said it is on back order, so I cancelled. Never got a refund. Have reached out a few times and they keep saying it will be processed but it never is. It's been 2 months now. Here is the email I received on 5/23/25:"We have received a request regarding the status of the part on your order# W701776. We have contacted the manufacturer and was informed that the part is on Backorder and they were unable to provide us the estimated shipping date at this time. Once the part is shipped, you will receive the tracking information. If you wish to receive the order, please ignore this email. If you wish to cancel the part, please click on the following link: ************************************************ to chat with us. You can also call us at ************** for further assistance.

I contacted Sears Home Services for washing machine repair. They sent a technician. He diagnosed and then charged me for the pump and labor, to be installed after receipt. He explained htat he was not allowed to order parts unless I paid the full amount including installation. The pump didn't come. The entire operation is chat bots and AI agents so you can not speak to a person, even with persistance with the options menus and AI agents. 4 times they have rescheduled my installation. After having an 11 hour window so missing work, they are no shows. You cant talk to them. I have hhte pump so have subtracted that from the amount I want refunded.Business Response

I purchased a part from them on 6/13/25, was supposed to receive around 6/18/25. The amount of the purchase is $224.80 I never received an update on shipping. I called the week of 6/23/25 and cancelled the order. The employee stated I'd get an email confirming cancellation is 2-3 days. Never received an email. I've called over 5 times now and asked for a supervisor/manager to speak to and they're always "not on the floor, I will have them call you today", never receive a callback. The order is still showing as "processing" and I keep get the run-around. This company is stealing from the public.Business Response

When our washer broke, we made an appointment with Sears home services to come and diagnose the issue on 5/19/25. They came and found the problem and provided a quote to come back four days later on 5/23/25 with parts to fix it, which we had to pre-pay and we did. At the day of the appointment to fix the washer we received an email that the parts had not arrived and there was no new schedule time available. We called and cancelled the appointment and were told that our payment (minus the diagnostic fee) would be refunded within 2 weeks. We still have not received the refund over six weeks later and the only people we can reach is their scheduling agents who say that they see the refund request but cannot help us. In fact they provided an email address for me to send the information to that is not deliverable and a phone number that is a sales/marketing number that is trying to sell us other parts.The charge on our credit card on 5/19/25 for the full repair, which never took place was $448.38 which included the diagnostic fee of $150, so we are still owed the difference.Business Response

4/24 **************** technician arrived & diagnosed. Stated he ordered parts, payment made 4/26 Technician arrived, PARTS NEVER ARRIVED. Technician was unable to provide any tracking information to confirm where parts were delivered. Left and rescheduled 5/1 Technician arrived no parts arrived, brought parts with him and tore apart dryer. Was unable to reassemble correctly & caused dryer to short needing new parts.5/5 Technician arrived & took dryer back to shop with him. 5/9 Technician arrived (on his day off) & returned dryer. Upon return, he explained to me his medical issues, that he had to use his own money to put parts in to my machine (which I did not authorize nor ask for). He then continued to tell me how he has cancer & can't afford treatment to save his life. He then requested to come back to my home again because the dryer still did not work. I immediately contacted **************** to report the issue and explained this at length to them. **************** told me that they would issue a full refund they also stated that I would get an email confirming my refund in 7 days.5/20 7 busdays later and no email. Called Cust Svc 5/23 Sent email, no response 5/27 Sent email, no response 5/30 14 bus days, no email. Called Cust Svc 6/5 Sent email, no response until 7/10 6/10 21 bus days, no email. Called Cust Svc The technician that failed to make any of the repairs was doing work outside of his work hours which is not only inappropriate but unprofessional. I doubt he logged any of this information as according to him "it was his mistake". Parts never arrived. Sears is stating they did but will not provide any tracking information confirming this. I checked all of my security cameras and no delivery was made. Dryer is broken. After 2 months, Sears finally respond on 7/10 stating no refund will be issued and that I need to return the parts. I have no parts. They are not keeping accurate records.Business Response

We've purchased our washers and master protection agreements from Sears for many years. In April 2024, our washer broke down and Sears response was to repair it with a refurbished panel. In November 2024, the washer broke down again and Sears gave us an allowance of $611 to purchase a new unit from them. We ordered a new unit in December 2024 and we have yet to receive it. We also filed a claim for reimbursement ($400) for the out of pocket expenses used on the laundromat but never received any reimbursement.Business Response

Dear BBB Customer Relations:
We have completed the investigation of Ms. ***** complaint regarding the delivery delays of her replacement Kenmore washer.
Our records indicate that Ms. **** had a Master Protection Agreement on her washer. And she was approved to receive a replacement washer valued at $611.99.
Upon reviewing her complaint, we contacted the delivery team for assistance. We were informed that due to inventory issues, the washer had not been received at the warehouse from the vendor.
As of July 21, 2025, we contacted Ms. **** with the option to cancel the order and receive a check in lieu of a replacement washer or she could leave the case as is and wait for the delivery. Ms. **** agreed to cancel the order and receive a cash reimbursement. We explained that reimbursement check would be for the authorized $611.99 plus basic deliver/ install (the warranty team will provide the final reimbursement total). The additional $41.74 paid was been refunded back to the original payment method. Ms. **** will be contacted via email with the final reimbursement amount to purchase her washer.
We apologize for any problems or frustrations that Ms. **** may have experienced and we appreciate the opportunity to address this matter.

The technician arrived but failed to recognize that the unit was a ventless dryer, initially claiming the vent was clogged. However, the machine does not have a vent. Once he realized it was ventless, he stated that if he checked it, I would be charged a large repair feewithout having inspected it or verified that anything was wrong.When I questioned his experience, he became upset, said he was leaving, and insisted on charging me for the visit despite never opening or examining the unit. He also made a threatening comment about placing a lien on my property if I refused to pay.Additionally, the technician made racist remarks which were recorded in the billing notes.I am requesting that Sears waive this appointment fee and arrange for a new visit with someone who is qualified to work on ventless machinesand who maintains a respectful, professional attitude at all times. I was not in the unit and I never signed anything, My friend was in the unit and I was on the call. I tried to contact the company several times and they do not have a life person or provide the name of any company. The Technical name was ****** and my friend said he did not have a name tag. I think it was a fraud visit. Order Number:000743512538661 Sears Home ServiceBusiness Response

Dear BBB Customer Relations,
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to Ms. ******* concerns.
Ms.***** stated that she was not present at the property during the service appointment; however, she reported that the technician made inappropriate racial remarks. While we take such allegations seriously, we have limited ability to verify claims when the service was not directly witnessed by the account holder.
Nonetheless,as a courtesy and in the interest of customer satisfaction, we have closed the service bill at this time and waived the associated charges.With that being said, we consider this matter resolved and have closed our case.
We understand that Ms. ****** has experienced problems and frustration with Sears, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused her. We value our customers and strive to achieve their complete satisfaction, including the resolution of any complaints in a reasonable manner. Please do not hesitate to contact me at **************************************** if you have any further questions.

Had a refrigerator warranty from 6/2024 through 6/2025. Sears did not honor the replacement on the warranty. The refrigerator was repaired from December 2024 through June 2025 more than three times and the refrigerator is still not working properly. The technician would come to my house every two weeks to fix the problem and the refrigerator is still not functioning properly. Sears did not authorize the replacement. According to the warranty, if it can not be repaired, it needs to be replaced. This is false and misleading information by the Sears warranty department.Business Response
