      We purchased a GE refrigerator from Lowes. It was delivered 4/21/22. It stopped working on 6/19/22. GE could not provide a service technician until 6/24/22. The tech determined that the compressor was blown, it was improperly charged at assembly. On July 8 the tech returned only to discover that a suction line had been flattened/crimped. Again poor assembly. The technician was unable to source the part. In addition this crimped suction line needs to be soldered/brazed. The Isobutane used as refrigerant is flammable. This is not safe for the technician and I do not feel safe having this done in my home. In addition having found two problems with the refrigerator, what else can be wrong ? We are two senior citizens who have been living with a dorm fridge for almost a month now. I have been dealing unsuccessfully with *************************** Via email and customer service phone calls, we just want and need a working refrigerator. The refrigerator along with a service plan cost $2183.39. It was purchased by ********************************* on 4/4/22 to his Lowes credit card. GE Model#GNE25JYKEFFS Serial #********. Our GE service confirmation number was# *********. I have also contacted the ***********. Attorney **************** just looking for some direction. Thank you for your assistance. *****************

      I have been trying for months to get someone from Lowes to come out and look at the gate they installed. There is a piece of dog eared fencing that is completely split and needs replaced so I can stain/finish the gate. I've have placed call after call to the store and been told repeatedly that tickets have been opened and someone will call. No one calls. I have gone into the store and managers/the people I've been speaking with on the phone are never available. This is 1 gate that needs looked at.

      In April 2021, I purchased a dishwasher online from Lowe's, located at ************************************************************************. A couple of weeks later on May 13, 2021, I purchased the Lowe's Protection Plan to cover any future repair for that dishwasher since the Manufacturer's Warranty is only for a year and the Lowe's Protection Plan is good for three Years. Supposedly, my plan is active until May 13, ****. On July 6th of this year, 2022, I made my first call to customer service requesting a repair to my dishwasher due to leaks that can be dangerous, most likely caused by a break or a technical issue in the door. Since that date, I have made over 20 calls to customer service and no one was helpful, stating that there is an issue with my protection plan and I can't use it. I talked to multiple agents and some of them said the opposite and that the plan is active and I should be able to use it to repair my dishwasher. Whereas other agents continue to say it is not. This is completely unprofessional as they are not being consistent. When I bought the protection plan, the purpose was to use it for future repair or replacement, not for them to take the money and not fulfill their promise to fix and repair any issue that comes up with my appliance. I filed a complaint on their website via the feedback section and no one has gotten back to me since. Today, 7/15/2022, I went to the store in-person and spoke with a couple of customer service staff and they claimed that they have nothing to do with it and I should call the number that I already called over 20 times and gotten nowhere with them. This is completely unacceptable and therefore, I demand a refund or a replacement for my dishwasher.

      I purchased a ******* Bespoke refrigerator on 5/21/22 from Lowes as result of a July4th sale and rebate special to receive the refrigerator door panels at no additional cost. I opened a Lowes credit card for this purchase to receive additional marketed savings. Ten days later Lowes cancelled my order claiming the counter depth could not be provided because the manufacturer, *******, was "out of parts". I immediately called ******* and visited ********** and did not receive the same message. They could both get me the refrigerator in 1-2 days (WITH PANELS). I returned to Lowe's on 6/3/22 and ordered the refrigerator again (Transaction ********) through another store clerk and was told I would receive a call from Lowes in 2-3 weeks on the receipt of the door panels from the rebate. When that didn't happen I called and was escalated to a Tier 2 team. I still have not received the panels and when I called today, 7/15/22, I was told their is no ETA of when I will receive them. It appears I have purchased a refrigerator from Lowes under a false rebate. Lowes has sold me a partially assembled appliance with no ETA of when I will receive the parts, while ********** and ******* continue to ship out panels within a 1-2 day window.

      I have been trying to get this resolved starting 3/12/2020. I purchased appliances from Lowes when I bought my new home in 2018. With all the appliances that I bought Stove, dishwasher, microwave, ************** I got the extended protection plan on top of the purchase price. I started having problems with the dishwasher and microwave starting on 3/12/19, 3/27/19, 3/30/20, 4/6/20, 11/6/21 (Microwave) 3/21/19, 3/28/19, 4/19/19, 11/6/2021 (Dishwasher). I have been working with these people you see for sometime. According to the protection plan after 3-4 times it should have been replaced. Well of course they gave me a hard time and sent a repair person each time. I today had enough and called my own repair person, so this time I was not told it was jus a hose that was loose. He stated the drum was cracked and leaking water under my dishwasher and he stated it was more money to fix, it would be better to just buy a new microwave and dishwasher. I then when in to Lowes and they pointed their finger in the direction of the warranty company and I called the warranty company again and of course the consumer gets their is nothing I can do. That is what I am dealing with, I requested to speak to a supervisor and she stated she was transferring me and hung up. Nobody has called me back. I have been dealing with this all day on my day off. I don't understand why they just don't honor what I paid for, that why people just don't pay extra for warranties because big box stores like these rip off the little guy who uses every ***** to take care of their family and now this comes along. I am so tired of just going ahead and taking it. I WANT NEW APPLIANCES AND THAT IS THE ONLY THING I WANT. I PAID FOR THE WARRANTY FOR THIS SITUATION AND THEY NEVER HONORED IT, OTHER THAN SENDING SOMEONE TO PUT A BANDAID ON WHAT THEY KNOW THEY SHOULD HAVE LONG REPLACED BEFORE IT EVEN GOT THIS FAR. I GUESS SINCE I AM JUST ONE OF FEW THEY CAN JUST TAKE MONEY AND NOT FULFILL THEIR END!!!!

      We purchased a GE refrigerator from Lowes in ********* ************** on ***********************, on April 10, 2022. The first refrigerator they brought ** had a broken door. After loading all my food I had to wait another day or two for them to bring me a second refrigerator. I Had to wait another 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down not being able to save some food AGAIN. Now this second refrigerator which is ONLY three month old had the compressor go out. I have been without a refrigerator for one week, it took several calls even get someone out here, I purchased an extended warranty, and now I have to wait who knows how long for a compressor to come in. I have young children in my house and I need my refrigerator. I want this refrigerator replaced and they are not willing to help us out. We should not have to replace food again because of faulty equipment in this brand new expensive refrigerator. Hundreds of dollars of food hs already been thrown out. We cannot function without a refrigerator!! This simply is not acceptable!

      I have bought a screen door from Lowes it cost me over $200.00 and the door is coming apart between the storm window and the door. This is unacceptable for the money for the door. This should not have happened with any storm door . Especially for the price.

      So I bought a washer and dryer from Lowes in *********** *********. We paid for the installation and everything. They came to install the units and such. Everything was fine. They made all electrical and water connections. Then turned it all on and ran it. The delivery people that lowes had come out, either forgot to the install the gasket in the hoses or they tighten the connnection down so much it made the gasket useless to stop leaks. So the water leaked out from my wall for about 10 days. It leaked all over the wall. Completely soaking the drywall that had to be torn out. Once the drywall was off the wall, we revealed there was mold all over the drywall behind and the studs for the wall. The insulation; drywall; and studs were soaked. The wall could not hold the water anymore causing it all to leak on the floor. Which then leaked to the sub floor and soaked it. Then the joist of the floor were soaked. Also the main resting beam of the house that sits on the actual foundation of the house was soaked. Also the kitchen on the other side of the laundry room come to find out had water leaking under the flooring and on the sub floor. So inside my cabinet underneath them is water damage. And the sun flooring in the kitchen is soaked. And all showing sides of mold growth. Right now I am out Time; material; my own out of pocket expenses to make this repair because lowes doesnt want to take the blame for the incident. We keep getting pushed from lowes to a third party for claims called xbt (the delivery contractor). Then being sent to their 3rd party for claims called retail direct. Then when I call to ask about the claim the number from isnt even the right information. On top of dealing with this, health concerns have been a big concern as I cant remove or repair this until they come out to confirm the damage. It has been 7 days of calling daily without answers and no way of knowing when someone will come.

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.
