  Dear *****,
  
  Thank you for reaching out to ***
  
  Heres a summary of your appointment and the services provided:
  
  On September 11, 2024, our technician diagnosed your unit and found that it needed a replacement water valve, as you reported issues with the washer starting properly. You noted that after selecting a mode and starting it, the washer would stop and fail to fill, requiring multiple attempts to get it to work.
  
  On September 23, 2024, the technician replaced the inlet water valve, and the unit worked correctly afterward. However, on October 16, 2024, he discovered a switch floating in the water line and recommended that you consult a plumber, as the water line issues could damage the new valve. The problems may also be due to low or high pressure or insufficient water in the line.
  
  Initially, we declined your refund request because the technician's repair was warranted. The situation requires a plumber to address the switch issue, which was not a misdiagnosis. However, after discussing your concerns with the technician, we have agreed to refund you $303.32. We will not be issuing a full refund, as the valve was a necessary expense incurred by the technician.
  
  We have sent an email to confirm your credit card number so we can process this refund promptly.
  
  Payment Summary:
  
  Total Paid: $502.27
  Less cost of the inlet valve: $198.95

  We are still waiting for your confirmation regarding your card number.
  
  
  Best regards,
  Aj

  I contacted **** on 9/22 to fix my refrigerator. A technician came to my house and, according to my invoice, replaced a fan. He went into the basement to turn off the water line that went to my ice maker. I noticed he turned the valve to the left and questioned why he wasn't turning it to the right. He said that's the way this worked and I shouldn't touch it. Said he had to order a part to fix the ice maker and charged me for it.All that week I caught dripping water in bowls, put towels on the floor up against it to absorb the leakage. This was a daily and hourly job. The technician was supposed to come during that time but he was a no show. This happened once before. By Sunday, I'd had more than enough. I went to the basement, turned the valve all the way to the right and the water stopped leaking. The freezer had been turning the water into thick blocks of ice. There were icicles hanging everywhere and water had frozen on the walls. All of my food was encased in thick ice. I had to use a hammer and s**** driver to get rid of it. I threw away a lot of meat that had become waterlogged and then had refrozen.I'd reported what was going on and they said they'd send the same technician to correct the problem. I said I wanted a different one and was told it had to be him. After standing me up twice, I didn't want anything to do with him. I sent emails asking for my money back and the replies asked if the technician could come back. The part, which I've paid for, had finally come in. The didn't offer any explanation about returning my $527.70. They've sent countless emails requesting I let the tech in to fix whatever hadn't been fixed. I don't want to deal with them anymore, so I closed my membership. My bank account was immediately charged $66.86. I have no idea what this was for.I believe I'm owed a refund and additional money for the mess he created and that I had to deal with day after day for 2 weeks.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  1. The invoice in the amount of $527.70 included a charge of $133.09 for the valve i never received.   The technician told me he would order it and charged me ahead of time.

  2. He was a no-show for 2 of the visits listed above. I didnt want anything more to do with him. I requested a new tech and was told that it had to be him. No explanation was given. 

  3. He went to the basement to turn off the valve that supplied water to the icemaker. I noticed that he turned it all the way to the left. When I asked him why he didn't turn it to the right,  he said turning it to the left was what my refrigerator required. He told me not to fool with it.

  4. For the next week I was constantly soaking up water that leaked out . It was a mess. I had bath towels on the floor that became totally soaked .  This was due to the water coming from the ice maker. On 9/28, I went down to the basement to and turned the valve all the way to the right. Voila,  the water stopped.

  5. Then the ice came. I had to use a hammer and s**** driver to get to my food. Thats when i found out that most of what I had in it was that first, it had been soaked in the water, then refrozen into a block of ice.

  6. During this time, I was in touch with ****. They were calling until i told them I wanted everything in writing.  I asked for my money back. Then i decided I should be compensated for all of the work I had to do  because of the technician's fault.

  
  Sincerely,

  Dear Ms. ****************** sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience youve encountered.
  

  We understand that the technician mistakenly adjusted the water valve to the left instead of the right, resulting in a leak on your floor. We are truly sorry for any mess this may have caused. Could you please share some photos of the affected area?
  

  Regarding the no-show mentioned in our previous response, we attempted to call you several times but only reached your voicemail as we wanted to update you about the delay with the part.
  

  To address your concerns fairly, we would like to send a new technician to assess the situation at no charge. If the technician confirms that no parts were installed and that an error was made in the assessment, we will review the situation and provide you with feedback afterward.
  
  If you agree we would like to know your availability so we can send out the new technician.
  
  Thank you for your understanding.

  I am rejecting this response because: I never received any voice-mails from them;

  I was treated unfairly because of a mistake made by the technician, for which they take no blame;. I want my money refunded, plus $500 for the time I spent cleaning up the mess on a daily/hourly basis. The technician made a mistake and I had to pay for it.

  I was charged for a water valve in advance. It was never installed.
  

  The only thing **** has offered to do is to send a new technician.  They've done this over and over again.  My refrigerator is now working but the icemaker isn't.

  Let me know if you can assist me with getting this resolved.

  Dear *****,
  
  Thank you for sharing the photos of the frozen food and ice buildup in your freezer. We sincerely apologize for the condition of your food and the inconvenience this has caused you.
  
  We understand how distressing it must be to discover that your food items were damaged due to the issues with your refrigerator. The photos clearly illustrate the extent of the problem, and we appreciate you providing this evidence to help us understand your situation better.
  
  Given the circumstances, we want to assure you that we take this matter seriously. While our policy generally does not permit refunds for food loss, we recognize the significant impact this has had on you. To help make amends, wed like to offer you a 10% discount on your next appliance appointment, as well as a $50 discount on handyman services. You can use the code handyman$50 when scheduling your next appointment with us, should you choose to continue using our services.
  
  Additionally, we recommend prioritizing a technician visit to ensure the ice issue is resolved permanently and that your refrigerator operates properly moving forward. We have confirmed that the water valve will be provided at no charge, and the technician already has the part on hand.
  
  Could you please let us know your preferred schedule for the appointment?
  
  Thank you for your understanding.

  I am rejecting this response because: you offer the valve free of charge.  You charged me for it on the invoice i paid, so I've already paid for it. I need the amount refunded asap.

  I'm sticking with my original plan.  ***** made a big mistake and caused all of the damage. I had to keep controlling the water as it leaked from my refrigerator, through the floor into my basement and after I'd turned off the water, I had to get rid of huge, thick pieces of ice that I removed using a hammer and s**** driver. I don't need a technician,  so why do you keep offering to send one, over and over? 

  I want my money back, plus an additional amount for the mess I had to deal with. Your responses never mention this, accept to say you're sorry.  Sorry isn't good enough.

  Hi *****,

  We recognize how frustrating this situation has been for you, and weve taken your concerns seriously by escalating them to higher management. We can offer you a 50% refund of $263.85 to help address the inconvenience and disruption caused by our service.
  
  Regrettably, we cannot provide a full refund because the parts installed remain in your refrigerator, and the technician covered these out-of-pocket expenses. We appreciate your understanding, and please note that this decision is final.
  
  Heres a breakdown of the parts paid for by the technician:
  
  Evaporator fan motor: $176.57
  Water valve:                $133.09

  To expedite your refund, please confirm if your **** credit card number ends in 5138.

  Our dryer first went out in April my husband replaced the heatint element but only12 days later it went out again.we were able to get a replacement part from ******, as the failure was due to a faulty element, not an issue related to lint buildup. My husband regularly cleans the lint vent and exhaust, so we are confident that the issue was with the part itself. In April when the dryer again stopped heating, we decided to reach out for professional assistance.A technician was dispatched, completed the repair $313.90 and recommended that we purchase the monthly insurance plan, which was presented as covering the dryer and other home appliances in the event of any future issues.$37.54 a month we have paid since april. However, the events that have unfolded since then have been frustrating. What should have been a straightforward repair has turned into a prolonged, stressful experience. When the technician came on Monday, 9/30/24, 2024, he diagnosed the dryer, but after disassembling it, the machine now wont start at all. The dryer now displays a message stating the door is open when its not, making it impossible to use even for tumble drying. This is particularly upsetting my husband took two consecutive days off workfirst 9/30/24 and then again on 10/01/24 when we were told the technician would return to complete the repair only after we paid $89 to do a claim. Now they are denying the claim saying the heating element went out due to the vents being clogged.we sent proof that the vents were totally clear and well maintained.They claimed the tech said that. we messaged him and he denied saying that. They are trying everything not to honor the claim and I am very disappointed in this situation.they are saying we need to pay full price to fix the dryer another $300. I am extremely upset I tried to resolve this all week. Many emails and phone calls and they are not resolving this issue.

  Hey this is ****** *******. The code for my report is 
  700880652C1FD. 
  I wanted to give more information on what all has transpired with this company. I have been dealing with this all week and this is some of our email conversations I have not heard back from them in days. 
  When they first denied the claim they said it was cause the technician put our heating element went out due to poor care and the lint clogging the dryer which voids their warranty. We asked the tech he said no he never said that. When I asked **** they said we'll in most cases with a heating element out that's the reason. We had taken photos of the well kept vents and there was no clogs. The *** said okay he will get it taken care of and if I just send him pictures of the vents we can get someone out to fix it. So far I have not heard back I have followed up with several emails and nothing. They claimed the insurance that I pay would cover anymore issues and that doesn't seem to be rhe case. At this point i either want a refund for the $89 claim and a refund on my monthly $37.54 I've been paying towards the insurance for the last 6 months. Ideally I would like for them to come and fix the dryer cause when the technician came to diagnose it he broke the door. So now it has 2 issues. I'm sorry for all this if you need more info let me know i have a lot more.

  Hello, ******. 
  
  
  Thank you for sharing your feedback and letting us know your insight. We are truly sorry for any inconvenience caused and the less-than-positive experience. 
  
  After further deliberation with the team, the coverage of the repair has already been confirmed and an appointment for the technician's return to complete the repair has been scheduled for 10/05/2024 between 11 am and 1 pm.  As you were told by our membership care team, in case the heating element once again fails despite the clean vents up to the exhaust, it is highly likely that there is an issue with the venting, such as the vent being too long. If this happens, the plan will no longer be able to cover for its next replacement.
  
  
  We appreciate your time and patience with the process, and you may call us at ************** for immediate assistance.

  On March 3, 2024, I contacted **** ************* to repair my refrigerator. The refrigerator had been leaking and the bottom freezer was frozen shut. A technician came to my home on March 4th, conducted a repair, and assured me the issue had been resolved. He said the freeze was leaking due to the freeze seal being loose, which had caused ice to build up at the bottom of the freezer. Additionally, I was sold a service plan at the time of the repair, which I agreed to.On August 14, 2024, I reached out to **** again because the refrigerator was leaking and ice was building up at the bottom of the freezer. Upon reviewing my claim, **** denied service, stating the cause was a clogged drain due to algae. However, during the original visit in March, the technician did not inspect the drain or mention algae buildup as a potential cause. I believe the current issue stems from the same underlying problem that was improperly addressed in March 2024.I am dissatisfied with the service and denial of my claim because the problem was never properly diagnosed or resolved during the initial repair. I feel I have been misled, both in terms of the original repair quality and the terms of the service plan.3/4 - I paid $267.54 + $40 for the membership 4/4 - 9/4 - I paid $37.44 monthly 9/22 - I paid $42 to cancel the membership

  Hi ******,
  
  After reviewing the appointments and  after discussing with the technician, it was determined that the condensate drain was blocked by ice buildup, leading to water leaking onto the floor. Due to the much ice build up, tech cleared everything. Also, it was leaking because of the freeze seal loose that time. The freezer functioned well for over five months following this repair.
  
  On August 15, 2024, the technician returned to your location and found that the drain pipe had algae buildup. According to your membership terms, this issue is not covered due to lack of maintenance and will incur a standard fee for no parts repairs.
  
  Please reference our terms. Section VII: Whats Not Covered (H) states that maintenance, service, repair, or replacement needed due to damage from anything other than normal use, storage, and operation according to the manufacturers specifications is not covered.
  
  We also informed you via email that the plan covers mechanical and electrical breakdowns but does not include maintenance services or repairs required for damage resulting from lack of maintenance.
  
  Thank you!

  They came to repair the refrigerator's ice maker. They informed me that it needed a new ice maker. They replaced it, and three months later, it stopped working. They failed to provide me with an electronic receipt of my purchase. I called back when it stopped working, asking them to repair it. They denied my request. They insisted that due to a 90-day policy, they would charge me full price for the repair. They denied me access to a manager when requested. I requested specifications of the manufacturer of the product they installed, and they have not sent me any specifics to reach out to the manufacturer to request a replacement of what is a defective product, or they installed an old icemaker and charged me as it was a new one.

  I used **** for a dryer that needed to be fixed because it was not getting hot. The unexperienced technician can out. He stated the problem and went to his carrot the part(left the trash in my house) he said he fixed it and I needed to clean the filter. I asked him what that had to do with it. He really couldn't tell me. He gave me a price that wasn't correct and I end up paying more for something wasn't fixed. He left and days later I called told him/company it still not getting hot after not using it until needed. I called numerous times and they stated they were going to send someone out to my house. They gave a time he never showed up and I called again no show. I am out of 284 dollars that the company got and sent out a unexperienced technician.

  Hi ******,
  
  We apologize for the delay in service and any inconvenience it may have caused.
  
  When you first reached out, we advised scheduling a professional cleaning of the vent to prevent overheating issues. However, we did not receive a response to set up a guarantee appointment with our technician.
  
  For your reference, heres a summary of the inspection conducted on 08/21/2024 between 1 pm and 3 pm:
  
  Initial Inspection:
  The technician discovered that the unit was not heating due to a faulty main fuse, likely caused by overheating. Both the cut-off and thermostat fuses were replaced, which should address the issue. If the problem persists, it may be related to the venting, particularly in an apartment complex.
  
  Post-Visit Checklist:
  Both the thermostat and cut-off fuses have been replaced, and the unit is now heating properly.
  
  The invoice and inspection report were sent to you before the bill was settled. Please find the attached file for your reference.
  
  To move forward with a guarantee appointment, please have a professional clean the vent. Once that is done, we will send a technician for a re-inspection at no additional cost.

  I disagree with **** because I called and spoke to them and told me they were going to send someone to my house and it never happened.  I even called the tech and he stated he would come on a Saturday. I have the day I called.

  Dear **********,
  
  We hope this message finds you well. We're writing to address your recent complaint regarding the appointment for your dryer and to outline our plan for resolving the issue.
  
  Firstly, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We understand how frustrating this situation must be.
  
  To ensure your unit is properly addressed, we'll send a different technician to evaluate the situation. If the new technician identifies another issue, there will be no charge for the reassessment. However, if he determine that professional vent cleaning is necessary, you will be covering for the cost of that service. 
  
  After the new technician completes their assessment, we will review his findings and discuss the best way to proceed based on his recommendations.
  
  Please let us know a convenient time for the new technician to visit, or if you have any other questions or concerns.
  
  
  
  Sincerely,  
  ****** ***

  I used the **** Appliance Repair website, because my *********** dryer that we purchased in Feb. 2024, was not longer blowing out heated air to dry the clothess. They sent a Repair Technician to our house on Aug 9, 2024 and charged us $375 that we had to pay. We didn't get what he even did to fix the dryer, and when my husband texted him that it still wasn't working, the Repair Technician did not respond.I then sent two emails to ****, because they said their work was guaranteed, but in order to back their guarantee, they were going to send out the same technician. We felt since he didn't fix it in the first place, we did not want the same technician to come back. I have since sent another email to their support address and have not heard back from them.Is there anything you can do to help, besides us just filing a grievance?****

  We requested a microwave installation from **** online.We included a picture of the location of the microwave installation in the kitchen, a description of the work, and the information on the new GE Profile model to be installed in the cabinet.**** provided and estimate of the cost of the work as 1-2 hours at a cost of $115.80 per hour.We signed off on this estimate and scheduled the appointment for 8/21/24 at an arrival time between 2 and 3 pm.The technician ******* arrived at 4:06 pm - over an hour late.Upon arrival, he informed my wife that it would take 4 hours to install and he began work.We were not concerned because it was an hourly rate and we would pay for the amount of time it actually took.Upon completion of the work at 4:50 pm, 44 minutes later, ******* requested/required payment from my wife for four hours of labor at a cost of $463.21.My wife and I discussed the situation and we were concerned about her getting into an argument with a large man in our home, so we paid the $461.21 and I told my wife I would pursue reimbursement later form **** for the obvious overcharging.I presented all of these facts to **** and they refused to refund the amount requested and are charging us for 4 hours of work for 44 minutes of work.Among the reasons they stated for the overcharging were - The microwave was heavier than a regular microwave - I included the model of the microwave which included the size and weight of the microwave.A mounting kit had to be installed - once again, we included all of the information on the model to be installed, including the picture of the similar microwave being replaced. This literally required four screws to be removed and four screws for installation.******* discussed the time required with my wife - he did say it could take up to 4 hours, be the rate quoted at inception and installation was an hourly rate. We had no idea they would charge 4X the actual time required.******* is a thief and a liar and **** backs him.

  Hello *****,
  
  We sincerely apologize for the less-than-positive experience you had with our service.

  Our technicians are highly skilled, and the labor charges reflect their expertise and the quality of workmanship we deliver. We always provide a repair quote after diagnosing the issue and proceed with the repair only after receiving customer approval. We offer customers the option to decline or refuse service and never pressure them into accepting a repair at the quoted price.
  
  We understand that you were not at home during the service and could not oversee it. However, as mentioned in our email responses, our technician discussed the repair with your wife and received her approval to proceed based on the estimate provided. This is why the technician continued with the job.
  
  We regret that we did not meet your expectations, which led to your review. Please know that we take your feedback seriously and will use it to improve our service in the future.
  
  Sincerely,
  **** Support
