Mid July 2022 ***** 20 cu refrigerator stopped working. (it is only 1 year old) I had to throw all the food out,I contacted ** and asked for a service call. **************** said they were trying to find one in my area. Every time I called they were still looking for service for me. I asked for a refund, the women said I qualified for a refund. And to call RA department Monday , I called on a Friday. the gentleman said I had to wait 10 more days to qualify.I called again, this time. No , you have to wait 15 days, not ten!Again I call, no we don't refund, we will get someone there.I call them again, "we found a service repair, you are scheduled for 8/16., wait hold on....sorry they can not do it that day they are fully booked out".I called 2 more times, each time 2 different reps, told me, "I will have a higher up person contact you in 24 hours. Be sure to answer the call."That was a few days ago.3 months after I purchased this fridge, the same thing happened, it stopped working. It took a couple months to get repaired. I can not afford to buy another refrigerator unless I am refunded in full. I can not buy ahead of time or it goes bad. Now I shop daily.Please refund me and let me enjoy lifeBusiness Response

I purchased an ** refrigerator in January 2019. I also purchased an extended warranty. On August 6, 2022 the refrigerator began failing to stay cool. On August 7, 2022 I called **. A diagnostics was completed over the phone & the tech identified multiple failures and was putting an request for repair. I asked if it was in warranty & was told out of warranty. I explained I had an extended warranty & the ** tech said he could offer me a 5 yr extended warranty. The next day I received a text from ** stating it they were still searching for repair company. I then called the extended warranty company Epic Project to see if they had problems getting ** repair services. They looked up my refrigerator model # and identified it as having know defective sealed system that was involved in a class action. Because ** had extended their warranty my extended warranty company could not preform services. Multiple days I called ** always told someone would call in 1-3 days. I used ** website to send multiple emails to the president's ****** with no response. ***************** the outside vendor ** uses to place service calls set me up on Wednesday with Millenium but when I called them they were closed until 8/15.

Purchased a defective ** washer and dryer unit that was delivered on 3/18/2022 by *********** The unit was defective from the date of installation. After two service appointments provided by ** and a third cancelled because "there is no service manual for these units and no one knows how to fix this issue," ** told me they would issue a refund on 4/21/2022. The refund was noted to be denied on 5/10/2022 and re-submitted and approved. A refund check was supposed to have been mailed on 6/6/2022. I have still not received the check.
