  We called the company to come out and service the detergent door on our whirlpool dishwasher. We waited three days for the part to come in. The technician came back out and install the door and didnt test it he sat on the floor speaking Russian or ********* on a private phone call or personal phone call and didnt test the dishwasher. We ran a cycle and the dishwasher leaked all over the floor. We called them the next day after putting a service call in requesting them come out and fix it. They have done nothing today but give us a run around because we didnt pay them when they completed the service call due to the fact that my dishwasher is now leaking it has a problem that it did not have before their technician came out the only thing we were asking was they fix this before we pay the second half of the bill which is reasonable.

  I am rejecting this response because: the complaint was made BY ME. The service was at my home made BY *****************************. His phone number is **********. Our address is ****************************************************************************.
  

  You ruined our dishwasher and we are now taking legal action with the ******* ************************ in hope that you lose your ******* business license. We have to purchase a new dishwasher because your service man **** (********* who was on the phone the whole time having a personal conversation while taking my dishwasher apart) ruined it

  Hello, ************* 
  
  We sincerely apologize for what happened and for not being able to provide you with the service that you were expecting from us. We never intend to cause any inconvenience nor worsen any problem that you have so we hope to get this resolved as well. 
  
  After looking into what happened with the team, what we can do is to send another technician to rediagnose the unit and issue, and to check as well if the repair done by the initial technician was necessary. 
  
  An email will be sent to this email address: ************************* as well to coordinate with your availability should you proceed with this. 
  
  Thank you so much.

  I had a technician from **** to come over for refrigerator repair. After completing his work I paid him by using a credit card. He asked me to sign on his smart phone which I thought I was accepting completion of the service. However, now I find that I have accepted a membership and paying $12.90 per month for it. I had absolutely no idea that what I was signing was not just completion of the service but included membership. The technician never mentioned anything about membership. They have been charging since April but I did not notice it till now. I think they tricked me in getting me their membership.

  

  Business Response

  Hello ******,

  We are very sorry for the confusion regarding your membership plan. We understand your concern, and thus, your case had been escalated to the management team. And after a series of investigation and thorough deliberation, the team has decided to honor you a refund for your membership payments from May to August. The reason why your payment for ***** will not be included in the refund is because on the day of the appointment when you purchased the membership, a discount has already been applied, which is of the same amount with your monthly payment.

  To proceed with the refund, please check your email to which we will be sending confirmation.

  At your service,

  **** Support Team

  Hi *****,
  
  Thank you so much for reaching out in regards to your concern. It has been further reviewed and unfortunately, based on the record for Sept. 9 , we're unable to pull up any logs of any calls from you which would automatically pull up on your record.
  
  As this is past the 90 day coverage, what we can do is to proceed with a regular service with $20 *** discount.
  
  Looking forward to your response for us to be able to assist you further.
  
  
  Thank you,

  I hired a technician to fix my refrigerator on June 30th. Without my consent **** charged me for a service membership that charges $37.34/mth. On Aug 31, I asked for a technician to fix my microwave. They did not reply to this request. on Sept 1, I cancelled the membership that I never asked for, **** charged me $97.73 for cancelling the service. **** sells memberships and does not provide any service. **** charged for a membership that I never asked for, did not provide any service and when I cancelled the membership, **** charged me a cancellation fee of $97.73. I want back the 2 months of the service membership I never asked for (2x 37.34=74.68), plus the membership cancellation fee of $97.73, for a total of $172.41

  Hello ****, 

  We received your BBB complaint and we understand from your complaint details that you have paid the technician $320 through PayPal. Please be advised that this transaction is not recorded in our system, which only indicates that the appointment you had with the technician was cancelled on site last August 27. Based on your complaint, we assume that the cancelation claimed by the technician wasnt authorized. Know that we did not expect this from tech Tavarion. 

  We understand the source of your concern and your wish to have this amount refunded back to you. However, before doing so, we will first have to gather enough documentation for the team to have it evaluated. Thus, we ask for a copy of a proof of payment showing the exact amount you have paid the technician. And since this transaction was made outside ****, our actions and resolution may be limited in someway. Nonetheless, we will be doing the best we can, understanding that this has inconvenienced one of our customers. In the meantime, you may try reaching out directly to the technician with the contact information provided below. 

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

  We do not tolerate such unprofessionalism from our technicians thus we have already submitted a Technician Incident Report on the mentioned technician. We have also reached out to you via e-mail, and you may have the proof sent there. Once an update has been released for your case, we will have you notified immediately in the same manner.
  
  Waiting for the proof of payment,

  Hello *****,

  We received your BBB complaint and we are very sorry for all of the troubles you might have gone through. However, upon investigating your case and communicating with the technician that was assigned, we understood that you cancelled the repair appointment with despite the technician already successfully placing the order for the part needed. Nonetheless, in contrast to the completed and paid status **** on your appointment, the technician confirmed that he failed to complete the repair needed to fix the issue due to this appointments cancellation. And after a thorough discussion with the team, we can now honor you a refund amounting to $101.00. This is from the charges for the Ice maker repair which wasnt completed, amounting to $190.00, less the service call fee of $89.00. This service call fee shall be honored to the assigned technician who despite the following appointment conflicts, were able to successfully inspect the units problems. And since the coil condenser cleaning service was completed, the $21.00 charge for it cannot be included to the refunded amount.
  

  To officially begin the refund of $101.00 please check your **** registered email address as our team will be reaching out to you through e-mail.
  

  Warm regards,

  On July 18, 2023 a **** technician initially visited to investigate issues with our dishwasher; one being a clicking sound intermittently while operating accompanied with detergent not properly dispensing. The initial technician **** claimed he needed to replace multiple pumps and returned a little over a week later to so. After his 2nd visit we were charged ****** and told to wait 24 hours until using which we did. Upon testing the 1st load not only was the original sound still present but also a new sound..as well as the detergent still not dispensing properly. This was immediately reported to the technician who was clearly not aware of what the proper fix was as he then stated he would just replace all parts in the unit which was a red flag. I reported this to **** customer service and requested a new technician and ***** was sent out a week later. ***** after investigating the dishwasher seemed very frustrated with the previous technician and claimed the same "pumps" the initial technician **** claimed he replaced needed replaced but that **** had to approve it. I have several communications with **** customer service where they tried to charge me even more to fix what is still the initial issue I called them for; and finally they rather than giving me a refund (as requested) claim they will honor their remit via a 90 day warranty. I have gotten very little in the way of a response via daily email and phone calls from **** other than for a week they've been trying to get in contact with the technician to even see if parts were ordered. I am doubtful they will fix properly and the fact they cannot get ahold of their own contracted technician am skeptical as we go on a month and a half (washing dishes by hand) that this will not just drag on until they claim outside 90 day warranty when in reality they never fixed original issues but surely charged and collected our money as though they had; please help!

  I purchased **** home warranty in June 2023. I filed a claim on 07/30/2023, the fridge stopped cooling on 07/29/2023 I submitted this information with the claim, **** had me scheduled an appointment that later was canceled that evening stating they did not have a technician available (understandable) and that I should schedule a technician on my own for a diagnosis they will review what needs to be fixed and I would be reimbursed. I was able to find one, unfortunately no techs were available until a week out. I message **** let them know when the tech will be out and they stated that prior to having the fridge fixed they would need to approve which could take 3-5 business days (understandable). The tech was out diagnosed stated he has the parts in hand and could fix same day, I thanked the tech stated I am unable to get it fixed until **** approves the claim. Tech stated okay and to call when I am ready to fix the fridge. I send **** the diagnosis paperwork with amount to fix and diagnosis cost which is a total of $360 they state it is not covered because it was outside of the period. **** initially had the date of when the fridge broke down, they could have initially stated it was not covered, but chose to hold that information, waited almost 3 weeks without a working fridge when it could have been less time when the tech had come out for diagnosis and could have fixed then. Its understandable that its not covered but that should have been disclosed initially and I could have had a working fridge sooner. I asked them for the inconvenience of not being honest upfront to reimburse the full amount but I have not heard back from them.

Appointments (2) morning and afternoon, Saturday, July 22nd, no show no call, no show on Sunday the 23rd nor on Monday, the 24th. On Tuesday the 25th I was on hold for over an hour (house phone) and my call was dropped. I tried my cell phone and again it was more than 30 minutes when my call was dropped again. I paid a total of $479.90 and my fridge was not repaired. Temp. no lower than 50 degrees and Id been ghosted.On a friends recommendation I called Zee Appliance and paid another $370.57 but this time I got great results and the temperature is finally coming down to proper place. And this happened after the first replacement part was installed.A fair refund from **** would be around $300 since they came but were totally unsuccessful in repairing my fridge and wouldnt even respond to my calls.**********************

  I called them for a washer repair. They sent ************************* last month. He charged me an initial service fee, maybe $98. He said the issue was the sewer line wasn't draining properly, and water discharges all over the floor. So, we cleared out the sewer. Then I went to use the washing machine, but it would not function at all. They are asking for proof of the sewer being cleaned. We bought a new washer. I am asking to be reimbursed for the $98 service call.

  Hi *******, 
  
  Thank you for bringing this to our attention and for informing us about your concern. We aplogize as well for the inconvenience caused by this event as it is never our intention to leave customers unsatisfied with the service.
  
  After checking and deliberating with the team, sadly we are unable to honor the refund request as we have yet to recieve the diagnostic or repair report from the service provider that you consulted with. This diagnostic report will be one of our basis to evaluate on how to move forward. 
  
  Should there be any questions, feel free to let us know.
