      On 6/3/2025 I prepaid Sears ************ $ ****** to repair my ** dryer based on their repair estimate. This included parts, labor and cleaning. The parts needed to be ordered and the technician would return once they were delivered to my house.On 6/11/2025 the repair was completed. My final invoice was $433.73. An overpayment of $192.42. The technician said a refund was due to the parts being less expensive than the estimate.On 6/12/25 I called the customer service number and filed a request for the overpayment to be refunded. I was told 3-5 business days but not to call back until 14 days had passed.On 7/2/2025 I called customer service to report I had not received the overpayment refund. First ***** told me to call the next day. I asked to speak to a manager and was connected to another service *****, this ***** then told me I had the wrong department and connected me to another customer service *****. This ***** said the request was still pending but it would be processed in 3-5 business days.7/11/2025 it has now been one month and my refund has not been processed. It seems the customer service *****s can not really help. They just say to wait another 3-5 business days. There is no way to speak to any one in management. Doing some research online the only way anyone has received a refund of an overpayment was to file a complaint with BBB.

In order to proceed with any refunds, Mr. ********* is required to provide documentation showing that the chargeback has been reversed, as it has not been reflected on our end. Once this proof of reversal is provided, we will review the matter and move forward with honoring any refund that may be due.

      I purchased an appliance warranty one year ago, 6/19/2024. After a dozen visits by this company to repair my appliance, they deemed the appliance unrepairable. The warranty clearly states if they cannot repair the appliance they will replace it with a similar product. I placed a service call on June 9 for service and made an appointment for June 13, they were unable to keep the appointment and rescheduled for June 20th. on June 19th the 12 month warranty expired. On June 20th the technician came to my house and deemed the refrigerator unrepairable. I have called the company to request fulfillment of the warranty but was told since the warranty had expired they will not provide a replacement.

      Dear BBB Customer Relations:

      We have completed the investigation of Mr. ************** complaint regarding the delay he encountered in attempting to have his Whirlpool branded refrigerator repaired.      

      Our records indicate that Mr. ******* has a Sears Protect Home Warranty.  The technician   deemed the refrigerator unrepairable due to an unrepairable sealed system.  On July, ********** was authorized to receive a replacement refrigerator valued at $2110.00. An email with the authorization code was sent to him for online selection and purchase.
       In the interim, since we have provided ********** with a resolution, we have closed our file.

      Dear BBB Customer Relations:

      We have completed the investigation of Ms. ****** complaint regarding her dissatisfaction with her Sears Home Warranty plan.

      In order to investigate and respond, we had to reach out to Cinch Home Services. In case Ms. ***** was unaware, her Sears Home Warranty is issued and administered by HomeSure Services, **** ************************, HomeSure Protection of ****************, or HomeSure of **************, depending on the state she lives in. All of those variations though are subsidiaries of Cinch Home Services, and Cinch provides the customer support when any customer calls into the ********************** Home Warranty line. Since Ms. ****** complaint strictly involved the administration of her contract and we have no control over that, we reached out to Cinch so that they could explain their position regarding Ms. ****** complaint and any details of any resolution they provided. We received the following response from ****** on their Escalated Customer Support Team:  

      Reviewed customer paid invoice which is attached to service bench. The warranty addresses the plumbing stoppages as well as waste and overflow that is leaking.  The repair was done. Customer deductible was waived.Processing reimbursement to customer for $802.50.  Called customer and advised her of a full refund and she was very happy.

      We apologize for any problems or frustrations that Ms. ***** may have experienced with Sears or with our business partners like Cinch Home Services. We do value our customers and strive for their complete satisfaction including a reasonable resolution of any complaints or problems whenever possible. If you have any further questions, you may contact me at **************************************************************************.

      Repairs on my washing machine was from 8/2024.Repairman orders parts and changes the part. Still making noises, called again, then some other part is ordered. Also, I take off from work several times and I get a message, that the appointment has *** rescheduled. I asked the *** if they will pay me for loss time from work, since it has happened more than once.I have another appointment on 7/16/2025, another part has been ordered.This is going around in a circle for repairs. Another day I have to take off from ******* extended warranty will be ending soon. I was told that the parts that were ordered were covered. In the meantime, if it happens after the warranty, I have to pay for the repairs. I don't want to extend my warranty with them. I think that it is about time they ***lace the machine.

      The Kenmore Elite refrigerator has been giving problems since July 2024. Finally in April 2025 it finally Stop working. All this time I have been calling for repairs, We are July 2025 no repairs have been done. Parts were ordered, Parts were damaged during transport, Technicians rescheduling appointments, Sears customer service not following up by not making notes every time we spoke, At one point no reorders were made. I requested a replacement it was denied. I finally had to buy a smaller fridge because i got tired of buying ice and coolers to keep the food fresh. i have 2 homes and all the appliances are from Sears. I no longer have the faith in this company that i had 50yrs ago when I started being a Sears customer. My husband is a disable veteran.

      Complaint: 23550905

      I am rejecting this response because: It has taken Sears repair more than 2 months for them to repair the Elite Refrigerator. Also I was approved for food loss in April which as of today I have not received it. I also had to buy a small refrigerator to compensate for the one the one that was broken. who is going to reimburse me for that. I could have rented one from Sears but the way they are handling there business I could not trust them to ensure that I would receive one in time. Technicians came and went without providing me satisfaction I lost more food then their purpose amount. My husband and I are retired. My husband is disable veteran. Living on pension doesn't give the us the ability to spend money unnecessarily. Between Protection Agreement customer service and the ********************** technician incompetence. The reason I purchase Protection Agreement was to be sure that the products were repaired in a timely manner. In all the years that I have been a Sears customer never encountered this problem. The technician who order the Ice maker, never set up an appointment to install it. Sears never did an appointment either even though I call to make one and to this date no one has installed it. Every Technician who came said it was not for them to do. I believe that one technician had said that when he came in June the refrigerator was full of ice, so he could not install it. The refrigerator was not working since April, how is it possible when he came in June the refrigerator would be full of ice. this is the issue with Sears and the technicians, They lie to cover themselves and protect their jobs. But that does not help me. My Stress level has gone through the roof with this issue. Now I have to wonder if any of the other appliances i have would result in the same fashion, because all of them are from Sears.

      Placed a call to have refrigerator looked at. Repair guy came out and unfortunately was unable to repair that day but they did reschedule another day to repair the fridge. Fast forward to the repair day. The repair man said that he was unable to fix the fridge and that we either could run the fridge we have as is (without ice/water dispenser working) or we could look at a new fridge.We are running the fridge currently with no water/ice dispenser When we paid for the service back in March, we also signed up for a yearly repairman service that I quickly cancelled within 30 days, so I wasn't charged. Good choice as they are unreliable Both repairmen were both very nice and explained things. My issue is with trying to get my refund for the service I paid for but did not receive due to the issue unable to be fixed. The repair man told us that we should see the refund typically about 21 days So, I called on 4/30 which was well over the 21 days to follow up. I was told that it was still pending. Told try in 21 days again. Was told would be refunded by 5/13. At this time my fianc told them that the card on file has been deactivated and inquired how we would see the refund. She was told don't worry about it you will see the refund I called on 6/26 inquiring what the deal was since it's been over 4 months since service. I was told it was still pending. I asked how we would see the refund and was told it would go back to the card on file It's been over 4 months. We have called 4-5 times. No one is taking notes of our conversations. They don't even have a way to refund me and keep telling me to wait 21 days to kick the can down the road.Everything is borderline automated these days. I just want the refund so I can go on my way

      We have a ******* top-loading washer with a broken door. We searched online for a replacement and found one on the Sears website, which was the only place it was listed as "in stock." After we ordered, it was not delivered within the stated time-frame, so we called and were told that the item was not actually in stock, no one had bothered to reach out to tell us, and they were just keeping our money with the hope that they would be able to get one for us at some undetermined time in the future. We asked for a cancellation, which they agreed to give, but that refund never came. We have now called back repeatedly to be told that the last person "didn't cancel it properly" and our refund is in limbo. Given how this was handled, we strongly suspect that this practice is on purpose - falsely advertise an item as "in stock" and try to hold on to the money as long as possible (perhaps collecting interest on it?) before giving it back or hoping the customer forgets to ask for a refund. This is wildly unethical at worst, and exceptionally disorganized at best.

      Reference File # ******** ***** *******


      Dear BBB Customer Relations:

      We have completed the investigation of Mr. ******** complaint regarding his dissatisfaction that he has not received the reimbursement check for the water heater.

      We reviewed the case notes and confirmed that on May 7, 2025 Mr. ******* was authorized reimbursement for the purchase of a replacement water heater.  On May 13, 2025 we received a copy of the invoice for the replacement unit, and we issued Mr. ******* a check in the amount of $779.00; check #*******.  ***************** reported that he did not receive the check, we submitted a check research, and received confirmation that the check has not been cashed.  Therefore, we submitted a request to have the check cancelled and have reissued the reimbursement on check #******* on July 17, 2025. Mr. ******* should receive the check within 7 21 business days.  With that being said, since our agreement with the Better Business Bureau restricts the length of time a complaint can remain open, we feel that keeping this case open during the interim is unwarranted.  If Mr. ******** issue is not resolved to his satisfaction, he can reopen it later even if the Better Business Bureau has closed it as resolved.  We respectfully ask to have this matter closed at this time.

      We apologize for any problems or frustrations that Mr. ******* may have experienced with Sears.  We do value our customers and strive for their complete satisfaction including a reasonable resolution of any complaints or problems whenever possible.  If you have any further questions, you may contact me at **************.

      Sincerely,

      ******* ******
