The compressor on my 2014 Kenmore ***** **** Refrigerator sprung a leak last July. The refrigerator was still cooling but the freezer could not maintain temperatures cold enough to keep items frozen. The compressor was under a 10 year warranty. A ********** services technician scheduled an appointment on July 10, 2021. After getting continuous notifications that the appointment had to be delayed throughout the day, no technician showed up. The appointment was rescheduled for July 17th, and the technician eventually arrived. The technician concluded that the compressor was leaking. He also acknowledged that the compressor was still under warranty. However, I was informed that the compressor was an older model, and that numerous parts would have to be replaced to accommodate a newer style compressor. I attached the quote I was given below. Suffice it to say that my "warranty covered" replacement for the failed compressor was $1,096.92. The technician made no offer of finding a used compressor of similar make. The known widespread failures of ** compressors and class action lawsuits for the issue should be addressed without placing the burden of cost on the consumer.

I have a ** washer and dryer that I purchased nov. of 2020. I paid for a 5 year protection plan when I got the products. I have had issues with my dryer not working and contacted ********** and they sent me to the protection plan agency through **. ** has made 3 different claims. One of them they said ********** deleted and so I contacted ********** and they sent me a email with the claim that they sent it. It was never deleted. The other two they keep putting down the washer information and not the dryer so then they push off my appointment because they delete the claim and make a nw one. Today 07/27/22 I finally was told a service tech was coming out so I took off work. They never called me so I called them to figure out if they were still coming and they said that they have the washer information in again on this claim and they wouldnt come out anymore and they would file a new claim again (for the fourth time) and put in the dryer information. They proceeded to tell me they could no longer come today because they dont have a technician available even though they were already suppose to be coming to my house today. I have been dealing with this issue for 3 weeks. I have paid for this protection plan and cant get anyone to come out and actually do there job.Business Response

I purchased a new ** washing machine from ****** in ******, ** on/around June 5, 2022. From the start it did not work. I attempted to return the machine to ****** and was told that was impossible without a return authorization from **. Over the intervening weeks I have learned it's essentially impossible to convince ** to provide a return authorization. Instead, they demand that I allow a technician to diagnose and repair the machine ad infinitum. There is always some part to replace that *might* fix the machine, and there is never a resolution--because once one thing is fixed, something else breaks. I have been told repeatedly that a return authorization is "impossible" unless and until a repairman deems the machine irreparable. The repairman, in turn, has no choice but to follow **'s recommendations for repairs, which are guesswork. So I am locked in an infinite loop with a washing machine that will never work properly, because it's simply a poorly-made, cheap, over-engineered piece of junk.Business Response

I purchased a new **** 65" Class CX Series OLED 4K UHD Smart webOS TV (OLED65CXPUA) tv from Best Buy, in September 2020. I have never had issues with this tv but has randomly started to have pixels die off. I am now told that they only cover 1 year of manufacturer defect and that I have to fix it myself despite this not being a user error but a manufacturer issue. I have several other sections in this tv that are dying as well and for $2500 this TV has only lasted less than 2 years without defects. I have TVs from 13 years ago that are still perfect but this one couldn't last sitting on a tv stand and not being touched? This product was designed and released with the intention of being faulty so as to force consumers to buy more TVs by *** This is fraud at all levels.Business Response

I bought an ***** in October of 2021. Beginning in March 2022, the ** started freezing when streaming live **. I chatted with ** about the issue and they had me do a ** reset, router reset, and clear my cache. This seemed to fix it initially, but then it started happening again and more frequently. I chatted with ** several times in March and April, until they finally agreed that a technician would have to look at it. After several days, ** got back to me and were unable to send a technician because I live in a remote area. As it seemed the problem with the ** was the wifi card, they decided to just refund me what I paid for the **. Finally on May 24th, 2022 I got an email with instructions to fill out some paperwork and affix the Manufacture's Label, and email a photo of the finished paperwork back. It seemed my work was finished and I would receive a check within a week or so. Well, it's been over two months and have still not been reimbursed. I have called and been on hold with them for hours trying to figure out why I hadn't received anything yet. I either get dropped from the call, or sent back to the initial voice prompts.** Case Number CNN220509870205 DR# ***************Business Response
