I PURCHASED A KENMORE WASHING MACHINE AND A SEARS HOME SERVICE MASTER PROTECTION AGREEMENT PLAN ON JULY 11, 2016. EVERY YEAR AFTERWARDS I WOULD RENEW THE ONE OR TWO YEAR COVERAGE PLAN. UNTIL MAY 20, 2025 I'VE NEVER ATTEMPTED TO USE THE MASTER PROTECTION AGREEMENT PLAN. ON MAY 20, 2025, I PLACED AN ORDER TO HAVE MY WASHING MACHINE REPAIRED. SO FAR SEARS HAS CANCELLED 3 APPOINTMENTS ON THE SCHEDULED DAY THAT THE TECHNICIAN WAS TO ARRIVE TO DO THE SERVICE. . SEARS HAD ME TO RESCHEDULE MY APPOINTMENT 3 TIMES WITH NO APPARENT REASON. EACH TIME I HAVE RECEIVED THIS TEXT PRIOR TO OR ON THE MORNING OF THE SCHEDULED REPAIR, IT SAID: HELLO, THIS IS ******* YOUR AI VIRTUAL ASSISTANT FROM SEARS HOME SERVICES, DUE TO UNFORSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE A TECHNICIAN AVAILABLE TODAY TO SERVICE YOUR APPLIANCE. I HAVE RECEIVED THE SAME TEXT 3 TIMES CANCELLING MY APPOINTMENT AND SUGGESTING THAT WE RESCHEDULE THE APPOINTMENT AND SUPPLYING FOUR SUGGESTED DATES AND TIMES TO CHOOSE FROM. MY CONCERN IS THAT SEARS HAVE NO INTENTION OF FULFILLING THEIR OBLIGATION. MY AGREEMENT EXPIRES JULY 11, 2025. THE RESOLUTION THAT I DESIRE IS THAT SEARS FULFILL THEIR BY REPAIRING OR REPLACING THE WASHING MACHINE AS GUARANTEED BY THE AGREEMENT PLAN BEFORE THE PL AN EXPIRES. MY CONTRACT # IS ***************. --- MY CUSTOMER 1D NUMBER IS: ***************. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. SINCERELY, ***** M. ******.Business Response

Under the title Sears Protect, this program is a repair/replacement program for residential Appliances and ************* Besides paying a set fee each month, any repair schedule requires a $100 deductible. There are also 2 eligible maintenance checks for heating and air conditioning. We set up scheduled appointments and then quite often are notified on the day of the appointment that due to unforeseen circumstances we will not receive the service that day, and then are given some optional dates to reschedule, which are often a week or more out (not being given a priority for rescheduling or pushing someone else out the next day). This has happened recently for dishwasher repair, washer repair, and Air Conditioning maintenance check.Whenever I complain loudly to customer service, I am promised my concern will be submitted to a higher level, and someone will call me back. I cannot count the number of times I have been told this, and no one ever calls back. When I ask on the phone to talk to a manager or someone in routing and scheduling, I am told these people are off line and cannot be reached except through a communication from customer service. Last year in May we had a washer that was declared unrepairable by the technician that came to the house. It took over a month and many phone calls before the replacement team acknowledged the replacement. Then it took another month (and changing replacement values as I talked to different people) for the details to be worked. I was finally able to order for delivery in late July, and when that time came the delivery got delayed until several weeks into August. When the call came for delivery I asked if the door could be reversed if it wasn't the preferred direction. I was told yes, but the delivery people would not do it. Then after another couple months of phone calls, it never got reversed.We are never offered any compensation or resolution for all our inconvenience and time on phone calls.Business Response

Dear BBB Customer Relations:
We have completed our investigation of Mr. ********* complaint regarding his dissatisfaction with the way his washer repair has been handled under the Sears Home Warranty plan and his request for a compensation.
We forwarded Mr. ********* complaint to the proper department, his warranty obligor, Sears Protect Home Warranty to discuss any compensation with Mr. *********
Regarding the washer, the technician was dispatched to the home on June 20, 2025 and completed and closed the repair order on the washer. The technician noted: Unit operating normally - no issues found. Ran diagnostic cycle to test fill and drain functions. Ran operational test product working as designed.

I am rejecting this response because:Reference BBB complaint/file number 234567792.
I consider he Transformco response to my complaint completely inadequate. On item in my whole list of complaints was picked out and responded to. And I suppose the response was concerning the delay and rescheduling of our Washer repair. Yes we did finally get someone out, and because this was part of a paid deductible repair we were able to finally get the door on the washer reversed.
But the response does not address at all how the broken Sears scheduling and repair system will be fixed for the future; how the paying customers of ********************** Protect can be properly and timely serviced and compensated if canceled on day of repair; how unrepairable appliances can be expeditiously replaced and the customer compensated if dalayed; how the paying customer can be put in touch with a manager or scheduling if there is a problem (not just promised a call back that never happens).
Transformco stated: We forwarded Mr. ********* complaint to the proper department,his warranty obligor, Sears Protect Home Warranty to discuss any compensation with Mr. ********* This is a great statement, but just as in the past I have no confidence they will get back in touch with me, since no one except the front line customer service **** have ever talked to me, and they have no authority to do anything.
Finally, the last paragraph of Transformcos response beginning with We apologize is almost laughable, since every time I talk to a front line customer service person about an issue (and by the way these people are very curteous, but again have no authority to make anything happen), I hear something like I am so sorry for your experienceand you have come to the right place for resolution. And by the way, the service technicians are great once they are able to get to a scheduled repair. So you have a scheduling and repair system that is broke, with the frontline customer contact people trying desparately to hold it together.
I would like to hear more details on how the sytem will be corrected to provid more responsive avenues for the customers. And I would like some specifics laid out for minimum not maximum compensations when repairs and replacements are not handled in a timely manner.

Hello,
Unfortunately, you are not eligible for a full refund since the repair was completed. If you are still within the 30 day service guarantee period we are happy to send a technician back out to determine if the problem is related to the original issue. I will look into your parts concern to ensure that there was no charge if the technician took the ordered part.

BBB Case # ******** ****** ******
Dear BBB Customer Relations,
We have completed our investigation into Mr. ******* concern regarding the $149.97 charge related to washer repair services.
First and foremost, we would like to extend our sincere apologies to Mr. ****** for the inconvenience and frustration this issue has caused. We understand how important billing clarity is, and we regret that our service did not meet his expectations in this instance.
Upon contacting our accounting department, we discovered that our automated audit system failed to detect the merchant credit payment for the original charge. As a result, a bill was mistakenly generated. This occasionally occurs when the authorization process does not fully completefunds may or may not be withdrawn from the customers account, and likewise, they may or may not be received by us.
In this case, we confirmed that the service order was closed incorrectly, as the service was ultimately canceled. We have since closed out the bill effective July 4, 2025. Mr. ****** should not receive any further notices regarding this matter.
Furthermore,this letter serves as confirmation that Mr. ****** does not owe Sears Home Services any balance for this service call. We also want to clarify that Sears does not report collection efforts to credit bureaus; therefore, this issue will have no impact on Mr. ******* credit history or score.
As the requested resolution has been provided, we consider this matter resolved and have closed our file accordingly.
Sincerely,
****** ******

05/2025 I contacted the Sears home protection warranty service to schedule an appointment for a technician to come and look at my washing machine. I pay for this warranty service at approximately $60 a month. I was able to establish an appointment very quickly and I paid my $100 deductible. The technician came 2 days after I schedule an appointment and explained that I needed some new parts for the washer. The parts were ordered and I was given a follow up appt for the technician to come back and fix the washer. At this time, *** had 3 appointments scheduled and all appointments have been canceled.I am without a washer since the technician took it apart. I have a family member on hospice in my home and have to be able to wash laundry for them. Ive made 2 phone calls to Sears and feel this is not being taken seriously. Ive been paying for this warranty protection plan for over a year and I am not being provided with any service. If Sears cannot provide a technician then I want a replacement washing machine or a refund of the premiums that Ive paid for this service.Business Response

On June 4th 2025 the company Sears Home Services came out to fix our dryer. The technician did a diagnostic and said it needed a new heating element. We paid them $258 as a partial payment for parts and labor. They were supposed to return on June 9th 2025 to finish and put part on. We received a text saying we needed to reschedule as they didnt have anyone available to come out. We rescheduled for the 11th and again received a text saying needed to reschedule so we rescheduled for today the 13th. We received a text today saying we once again needed to reschedule. When we called and spoke to someone after a 20min wait we were told there was nothing they could do as far as getting someone out today or a refund. All we could do is reschedule.Business Response

However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
