Guinco is the company the KitchenAid sends out for repairs. They are the worst!The online and office scheduling is VERY misleading! When I scheduled with them I was told the visit and diagnosis would be $145. It turned out to be $145 just to let them in the door. There was an additional labor charge to diagnose the problem. I consider this deceptive business practices! It was going to be $900 to repair a $700 dishwasher. This is ridiculous! We have had other problems with them on past repairs as well. This is the last time they will get my business.Guinco Service Response

We apologize for any confusion regarding the scheduling process for your service. It seems there may have been some misunderstanding with the website you used, as it is managed by Whirlpool.com for Service Support, not directly by Guinco. When you entered your information there, you would have been presented with our company's minimum charge of $145.00 before proceeding with scheduling. Upon receiving your request from the manufacturer, we promptly followed up with a text message, which was both received and viewed, outlining our $145 trip and diagnosis fee and provided a link for appointment preparation, which clearly stated our trip and diagnosis fee along with other relevant service information. Additionally, we sent an email for your appointment that requests that if any confusion about pricing to please contact us. We understand that direct phone contact can be challenging, so we utilized multiple forms of communication to ensure transparency regarding potential charges. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.Review from Anna M

Beware of this company they actually charged me 330$ dollars to change a blown out fuse inside a kitchen aid microwave. The invoice simply says fuse nothing else. So no complex work has been done.The technician (who initially did not know how to pull out the appliance) did not provide a quote prior to changing the fuse (me thinking probably because this is so minor it might be even included in their service charge). on top of that their technician damaged woodwork and chipped the paint under the microwave and enclosure because of his inexperience. I Called a few times and so far waiting for upper management to respond. I am not seeing much of customer ********************** after reporting this issue so far.Guinco Service Response

Unfortunately, your experience with the installation of the higher-end fold-down microwave presented a unique challenge. ************** engaged in a discussion solely for access purposes due to the unconventional installation of the unit since it was mounted above a double oven greater than 60". The task of safely uninstalling a 90lbs 240v fold-down door microwave and bringing it to a working level is not a straightforward one. It requires careful planning and execution to ensure safety. Additionally, diagnosing the unit's issues in today's complex appliances demands skilled expertise, regardless how simple it may appear when done by a professional.
During the technician's visit, they provided insight into potential obstacles, risks associated with access, and estimated costs, seeking your authorization by signature before proceeding. Upon completion of the repair, documentation was signed and provided for your records.
We regret that you did not perceive the value in our professional repairs and commitment to customer **********************, which we continually strive to uphold.Review from Ellen R

Kitchenaid warranty service is the absolute worst I have dealt with. First your issue is handed over to GUINCO the service end of the warranty. Then you are told that there is a FEE for the company (GUINCO) to come out to look at the problem. I'm kind of OK with that but if the problem is found and its a warranty issue you are NOT REFUNDED the service fee. That is issue #1 now for #2 ********** scheduled the appointment for me. They also said that they would put me on the CANCELATION List. So If an appointment opened sooner they would let me know. Well something opened up for the next day. I sat home waiting for Their **** D***** R. to arrive between 2 - 5pm. No one shows up so I call their Phone # ***-***-****. And I'm told that the **** called me and no one answered ( I had my phone with me all day and I did not receive any calls). They also read my address to me and no such address exists. So after giving the correct address to them which they got from **********, I AM NOW TOLD THAT I HAVE TO WAIT A WEEK BEFORE THEY CAN GET SOMEONE HERE TO TRY AND REPAIR MY REFRIGERATOR. AND I'M ONLY GIVING 1 STAR BECAUSE I CAN'T GIVE "0" !!!!!!Review from Paul R

I called Guinco, a Whirlpool appliance repair firm in **********, **, and asked that they send a repairman to replace a broken light bulb in my Whirlpool microwave. It is a very simple job, but I am old and in ill health and can no longer able to do such work. A woman at Guinco took the order and said the service call would be $145. I thought that was excessive, but I had no choice. The repairman, who refused to identify himself, arrived, took off the light cover and inserted a new bulb. It took him about eight minutes, He then said the charge would be $240. I objected strongly. I was prepared to pay the $145 that was quoted to me on the phone, but the repairman was demanding an extra $90. I stepped forward to look at the job and he also moved forward. We collided and he started screaming that I had attacked him and that he was going to call the police. I was amazed that he felt threatened since I am 85 years old, have a chronic lung disease and get breathless walking across the room. He took out the new light bulb and replaced the cover. (It is interesting that he did not replace the cover earlier, perhaps anticipating an objection to the new price.) He stormed to his truck and left. The cover is now in place but one of its two screws is missing. I am reporting this event in hopes that repair companies will be encouraged to be honest and not deceptive when asked by customers for an estimate of service charges.Review from Sheri D

Guinco lied and double charged me for a repair. Guinco's tech came to my house and I told him that I had confirmed with their customer ********************** person that I had an extended warranty through Maytag. The tech said after further research that I did not have one. I needed the repair done so I paid for the repair on my credit card.After the tech left I knew something was not right and I called Maytag. ****** confirmed I had warranty coverage and sent a work order over to Guinco to pay the them for the repair.I called Guinco and told them what had happened. They said they would not accept the work order from Maytag and would not refund the credit card charge. I was vey upset and called my credit card company to dispute the charge.Guinco fought the fraud claim even know they knew the repair was covered by my Maytag's extended warranty. In the meantime they did accept the work order from Maytag and were paid by Maytag for the repair.****** accepted the Maytag payment but never credited back my credit card. They never called me to say they had received the Maytag payment and they would refund my credit card. NO THEY TOOK BOTH PAYMENTS MINE AND MAYTAGS! It took three month to get them to make it right and they only did so after I proved to my bank that they had indeed been paid by ******. They never called me to apologize. They just kept my money until my credit card company found in my favor.Very shady!Review from Anne S

We had a problem with our Kitchen Aid refrigerator filtered water dispenser making a loud noise. We were able to quickly schedule a convenient appointment. They have an online system where you can track your technician as your appointment time is approaching. That was helpful. The technician, *****, was on time. He quickly diagnosed and explained the problem. He checked the availability of the replacement part and scheduled our next appointment before he left. He arrived on time the day of the second appointment, replaced the part, and was finished in less than half an hour. I'm pleased.Review from Debbie R.

*********** is aweful and should be ashamed. I helped a disabled friend get a new Whirlpool washing machine ordered The machine made a loud chirping noise right off, Whirlpool sent Guinco Service out on 08/17/22, mind you the machine was 1 week old, the tech ******************* did nothing, but tell me the machine wasn't being used correctly, my friend is bed ridden and legally blind, he said their were soiled sheets he saw piled up on the dryer to go into the washer, the hot water was turned off and his care givers needed to be sure and not overload the machine.The hot water was turned on at that time, I put a large note above the washer to the care givers on what to and not do.Chirping still there, they were to come out again, they called 2 hours before they were to arrive and said they would not be out then or anymore, because of what the tech notes said Whirlpool said to call another company out ourselves and they would reimburse the cost, we did, the machine was missing a part which caused rubbing metal to metal, thus chirping sound they ordered the part, put it in and no problem after that.I will also be filing a complaint against this company with Whirlpool, as they have a contract with this company.I could not believe how unprofessional and to treat my friend like that, I would not refer this company to my worst enemy. They deserve less than any star.
