    Hello I was woke up out my sleep 3 by a technician from capital city appliance service in which I've never heard of them a day of my life. I didn't know they existed because I've never spoke with this company. The technician said he was sent out to fix my washer. So I called in to the company to figure out why they sent some one out to my house this early in the morning and I hadn't spoke with them or made any appointments to come out to my house. I explained to them my mother's death anniversary was 3 days away and I would have never had anyone come to my house this week because of our grieving. I thought I would get a simple apology but instead I got the opposite. The lady **** was rude and yelling so she frustrated me even more and she kept hanging up on me when asking for the owner. She kept refusing to let me speak to him over and over again after being rude and disrespectful. I've never dealt such unprofessional and inhumane people in my life. NO professionalism and no respect for the human kind, No one should ever be treated like that especially arriving at someone's house unannounced this is not okay and should have never happened. I apologized to the technician because he was just an innocent worker who was sent out and he had no idea that I had no knowledge of the appointment so this company put their worker and me in a very uncomfortable position. Literally I was in bed when he arrived so I had to get out of bed and get clothes on before I can even come downstairs because I had no knowledge of him being sent out,

    Re: Womick 

    Complaint ID: ********

    We were dispatched by *** ******** rental company to inspect a laundry piece she was leasing.  We attempted to contact her on numerous occasions by phone, text and email with no response by her.  On the day of scheduled service the technician placed his 30 minute call ahead and again no response.  He was in her area so to appease her leasing company we stopped and knocked on her door.  The door was opened by a youth and the technician was told to hold on.  Approximately 5 minutes later youth reopened the door and invited the technician to enter with her yelling from upstairs.  If *** did not want us to enter, they could have simply rescheduled the call at that time and no entry would have been made.  Instead, they offered the technician to enter.  He was very uncomfortable at this point and contacted our office and asked if he could vacate. He did look at the washer and found:  7/17 THU, 8:56 to 9:21, Mrs ********* of washer fill level during use. Found unit operating as designed. Found water level correct for this model. Informed *** on operation of washer. ; Job Cmpltd, 

    *** Called our office and began to berate our CSR over this issue.  The yelling by the *** was overwhelming to her so the call was passed to the manager on duty which was ***, who was then berated by *** *** did her best to satisfy *** but to no avail.  At that point I took over the call and attempted to appease the ***, but also to no avail.  as stated we made numerous attempts to contact her and had no success, and now we understand there is a response delay on that end.  We are truly sorry she was upset and we had no idea of any personal issue, which could have easily been communicated by her.

    I am rejecting this response because Whirlpool directly contacted your company and instructed you to (1) send a senior technician and (2) contact their tech line upon arrival. You declined to follow either of these instructions.


    Thankfully, as you mentioned, your calls are recorded—so this refusal, along with the disrespect I experienced during these interactions, is documented and verifiable.
    I am still experiencing the original issue with the appliance, in addition to a noise issue that has never been resolved. I never asked for parts to be replaced without identifying the problem—I asked for further investigation, especially after providing video and photo evidence of the issues. Instead of investigating, my service ticket was closed without notifying me, and I had to call in myself seven days later to find out why no one followed up. Whirlpool has since confirmed in writing that your company refused to continue investigating and I would have to find another authorized service provider for this issue, even with the documentation I provided.


    To be clear: I am not refusing service—I am refusing a specific technician I am uncomfortable having in my home. Whirlpool supported this request and instructed you to send someone else, which you also declined to do. I canceled the latest appointment because I was being strong-armed into accepting someone I had already refused, which is not acceptable.

    Yes, I am upset and at times have become escalated—and rightfully so. I purchased a brand-new refrigerator, and from the very beginning, the service process has been dismissive, disrespectful, and incomplete. I don’t enjoy being upset with people, but I’ve been pushed into a position where I feel unheard and unsupported. I expected far better from a Whirlpool-authorized provider. This situation remains unresolved, and I will continue seeking accountability until the issue is properly addressed.

    Ms. *******,

    All of our calls are recorded for accuracy and this complaint is not close to accurate.  Capital City Appliance Service in no way refused to fix this unit.  The technician was there to repair another issue the unit had and that took 1 trip to diagnosis and 1 trip to return to repair the issue.  During those 2 visits no noises were detected and any issue could not be verified.  Therefore,  no additional repairs could be preformed until said noise was present.  We cannot repair an issue that we cannot reproduce or verify.  We were scheduled to return to attempt to hear/identify the noise but Ms. canceled her appointment.  Then she writes a complaint. Talk about unfair.

    Sincerely,

    **** *

    Although their explanation is flawed, it doesn’t not include a bunch of stuff, I will however just let this rest.

    Please show a complaint with you that these are not nice people and their service is horrible.  They never advised anything unless I asked.  They never advised I owed anything. And the tech was belligerent and threaten to which I asked him to leave multiple times before I had to get my weapon (which is in the police report)

    They refuse to refund for all the trouble, a lawsuit will be filed.

    ********* ******** ********

    Please let me start by stating, "there will be no
    refund, no further service, and no further correspondence regarding this
    individual." An example of her distortion is that 5 minutes for the initial
    visit was actually 38 minutes to complete the diagnosis. The part referred to
    was on a national factory backorder with the manufacturer and we had no control
    over that period, but we informed her on several of her repeated calls that she
    would be updated when we were given the available date from the factory. That
    was not good enough. Upon my technicians return to complete the job, the technician
    informed the Ms. of the remaining balance of labor and tax due and she became
    combative and very verbal. Then, while our technician was attempting to
    complete the repair the Ms. came into the room and brandished a firearm (hand
    gun) in front of the technician.  At that
    point he was unable to finish his task, and was forced to call the police to
    ensure his safety and departure.  A
    report was filed.  It is hard to help
    someone when they threaten harm to you!

    I am rejecting the answer because they came to the house, they were there 15 minutes, they did nothing to check the fridge out except to pour a glass of water, did not check hoses, pull out fridge, did not call Whirlpool why they were at the house, said they call later. Whirlpool then ask them to come back out and call the engineer while onsite at the house and refused to do so and canceled the appointment and said they would not come back out. They did nothing expect tell me what they learn in seminars.

    We are sorry you feel this way. But there is nothing wrong with the unit.

    We went out on the complaint being cloudy water. As stated in my technician's report it is air bubbles when dispended from the dispenser. My technician contacted the tech line and was at the home for 37 minutes not 15 as stated. Here is the report from the technician: 

    3/8/24 16:15: JP invlvd 3/8 FRI, 15:36 to 16:13, The water is foggy when it comes out of the unit. The fog are air bubbles and are dissolving back into the water at a normal rate. I called Whirlpool techline and spoke with *****.                   SR # *********** He states this can be a normal occurrence sometimes and there are no parts or repairs to correct this.; Job Cmpltd,

    It is air that is produced when coming through the lines. There is not an odor or harmful substance just air in the water.

    Mr. ****, please understand if pulling your refrigerator out
    would have solved your molecular count in your water supply, we would gladly
    have done that.  But, it will not, and as
    previously stated in the technician’s report, dissipates back into the fluid at
    a normal rate which explains the process in your case.  Nothing more we can do for that and if you're
    dissatisfied with that, contact your selling dealer for a second opinion, or
    your H2O supplier. 

    The technician did call the manufacturer assist line and was
    directed by them as evidenced by the report number SR7738641947 given to
    him.  Sorry, we cannot be of further
    service to you for this issue.

    I am rejecting this response because: I have the ring video. He never rang the door bell. In your response, you admit that your employee trespassed by going in to my garage without permission. That is a criminal offense. There was no outlet available as we both outlets occupied by 2 freezers. He unplugged one and forgot to plug it back in. 

    I would like to resolve this with you. But, if not, I will pursue ********, as you have subcontracted with them. Openly admitting your employee trespassed in to my garage makes you even more liable.

    roject went to waste and an animals life was taken, only to be wasted. Shame. I want the meat cost refunded.

    Business Response

    Date: 02/07/2024

    After reading the customer statement I conducted a thorough
    interview with the technician to get the facts from him.  Call was confirmed on 1/3/24 @ 10/27 a.m. via
    text.  On the scheduled service date on
    1/12/24 the technician called at 1:15 p.m. and left a voice mail message for
    the customer informing of his arrival, which was @ 1:36 p.m.  He saw the garage door open as was on his
    initial visit.  He went to the front door
    and rang the doorbell, which her ring cameral should have in history.  When no answer there, he proceeded to garage
    with the door open and entered to complete the work on the washer.  He moved the unit to the same receptacle that
    the Ms. had directed him to on his initial visit.  The receptacle had one open plug on it and
    the unit was plugged into that.  So, you
    see, there was no need to nor did he unplug any other cords from that
    receptacle.  The technician therefore did
    not cause the failure of the freezer.  He
    also left the unit in the middle of the garage to show that he had been
    there.  At this point I have comments
    regarding this complaint.  First, if Ms.
    was home, then why not answer the call or the ring camera mentioned with his
    presence and the garage door open as was on technician's initial visit?  Second, with all that beef in the freezer, in
    the garage, why not check it daily or every other day, to ensure operation
    instead of waiting 3 weeks later. Finally, why was there no call to our office
    to inform us of this? We are not responsible for this. There is no refund due.

    The initial complaint filed states specifically, “The washer
    was in the garage and the garage door was open. I was home but did not hear him
    pull in.” This statement openly admits knowledge of the technician’s expected
    arrival. The nice thing about ring door bells, is that it notifies you when
    movement is made. If the device does not do this automatically, then obviously he
    had to ring it to activate the camera, for said video. The repair appointment for
    1/12/24 was confirmed via text message on 1/3/24 at 10:27 “YES”. As well, the
    technician called 1/12 at 13:15 prior to arrival, and left a voicemail
    indicating he was enroute.
    The return visit was the same scenario as the first, with the
    garage door open and the unit located beside the SAME open outlet as previously
    instructed (by the homeowner) to utilize. Nothing had to be unplugged by the
    technician on either visit. Maybe, Ms. **** unplugged the freezer in anticipation
    of the tech’s arrival. Possibly even a family member, friend, or someone off
    the street, walked into the OPEN garage between January 12th and
    February 6th.
    More than three weeks later, 25 days after the repair to the
    washing machine was made, this complaint is received without prior notice to
    CCAS by the homeowner.  After 25 days, how
    can the blame be placed on the technician, who happens to be a Miliary Veteran
    with high scruples? As well, accusing him of trespassing after the appointment
    had been confirmed and the same scenario was present from the initial visit. Access
    into the garage AND in freezing cold temperatures, he went well above and
    beyond to ensure the washing machine was fixed and operational. He even moved
    it to the middle of the garage to indicate the unit had been addressed.
    Ms. **** also states she would like this resolved, but “if
    not, I will pursue ********..”. Seems Ms. **** is looking for “someone” to
    absorb her generosity, but unfortunately that will not be CCAS.
    In closing, unless video proof is available showing the
    technician unplugging the freezer, we will not be held responsible for Ms.
    ****s overpayment of the cow she generously purchased from 4H.

    They are saying that they came out and diagnosed my washer properly after trying to blame me for misuse of the appliance! After I reset the washer myself I discovered that there weren’t any problems/ issues with it at all and so this is what the repairman should have done and said! Instead he charges me 95.00 for the wrong diagnoses and tried to charge me 800 for two parts (motherboard/computer and front touch screen interface) that weren’t broken at all and it would almost be impossible for them both to break at the same exact time! If they didn’t know then they should have said that instead of lying and trying to replace unnecessary parts! I in no way used my washer incorrectly and I told them that which is the truth as it wasn’t ever broken! They try to blame customers for any and everything and that simply isn’t always the case! I was charged for a wrong diagnoses and was almost robbed for 800 more dollars by this company! The man is unprofessional! If he was a real technician then he would have known that my washer was fine and didn’t need those expensive parts at all but he didn’t even unscrew the lid to look at the motherboard so how would he know? They are a scam!
    . Upon me manually resetting the washer worked fine and returned to normal operation and I haven’t had an issue since! This man at capital city appliance was going to charge me for parts that I didn’t even need and in no way he could be sure I needed by just looking at it. The washer now runs great and I dodged a major bullet with paying them for an issue that my washer never had! I feel betrayed and cheated and I want my money back for a diagnostic that he didn’t even do since we know now that those things were never a problem or broken at all! Capital city appliance repair is a fraud!

    No need to feel betrayed, Capital City Appliance Service did
    exactly what the trip charge covers. 
    Trip out to the home, diagnosis and estimate for the repair.  You determine if you want to proceed with the
    repair or not and in this case, you have determined not to do the repair.  Instead, you would rather keep resetting the
    unit every so often as we did while we were there.  Capital City Appliance Service informed you
    as to what would be the "fix" for the unit and that is what our function
    actually is.  If you desire to continue
    to have a unit that does not operate to manufacturer specifications then that
    is up to you.  Your estimate to
    "fix" the unit is in place and is good for 30 days. No refund will be
    offered because we did our job accordingly and stand behind that fact.  Your choice to repair or keep stumbling
    through with operational issues is up to you.  This
    issue has been present and continuous for over a year.  If necessary, we could return and reset next
    time it occurs.

    I told the business it never worked right, it is NOT from how I do laundry as I had the same type washer for years and that one was fine, I did NOT have this issue at all with the prior Whirlpool washer ( it died of old age), and they would never send a different technician to our house. This technician-*****- was always quick to sign off and say nothing was wrong and I knew it was because I asked a tech who works at a different company  I will not recommend this company in the future as they don’t really fix the issues.

    I would expect nothing less than Ms. ***** to reject our response. Ms. ***** stated to our office manager that she has 4 kids and does, I'm certain, have a boat load of laundry, and to wait seven months to call and inform us wasn't fixed correctly since the last visit of December 16th, 2022, is very hard to fathom.  There was warranty still left on the washer at the time in question, so why so long?  Especially if the washer was not functioning properly.  I believe the Ms. is upset that one, she didn't report the issue in a timely manner, or two, the washer just experienced an issue and she is trying to defray her inner time period to use a defective washer, with a lot of laundry to clean.  Don't you think?I would offer to visit the situation, without an upfront trip charge fee to give an evaluation, and any parts, and or labor would be her responsibility.

    Customer Answer

    My last comment is this-

    Every time your repairman came, he made it sound like I didn’t know how to do laundry and nothing was really wrong. The washer has acted worse and worse. I’ve had another company look at it and they actually took apart part of the tub. The screws are loose and that middle part of the tub is going to need to be replaced. So all this time, it wasn’t my poor laundry skills- there WAS something wrong with this washer. Your repairman should have really taken the time to take a couple things apart instead of just looking underneath, removing a protective cover permanently, and criticizing my laundry skills. I will not recommend your company to anyone and I do not need any further assistance. I will end up just paying to have it fixed because I was told *twice* there was nothing wrong and I would rather pay for someone who is actually willing to do the investigation. BBB please close the complaint  as I have found help elsewhere.

    I have a video of your technician saying he performed a “seal test” you claim is not an actual test. This is not mental health, this is pure anger. Of course I’m angry. I’m angry I’m watching a man collect a paycheck for literally walking in for two-five minutes, and not even pulling the fridge out but once when he intentionally damaged the unit, as proven obvious by another company. 
    I contacted you when I kindly asked him to move his vehicle from blocking the entire driveway and was told nobody else could come after he yelled at me and belittled me. 
    I reported the smell and sounds I started hearing after the one time he left and actually “worked”. 
    I contacted you to try to set an earlier date after his first visit, stating my concerns that the plug is not why it wasn’t cooling. I was denied and waited a week for him to repair what he didn’t even know was the issue (when the unit was intentionally damaged). 
    I’ve contacted you with several concerns. I’ve been forced to allow a man in my home I clearly stated made me uncomfortable. I’ve been forced to be unable to purchase a new phone and have gone without all this time because I have to continuously buy ice and replace food I throw in the trash. 
    I did my part while I was calm and was treated terribly. 
    My attachments are unable to be uploaded.  I’ll try to figure out how to do that.

    Reference: Case# ******** ******* ******* (******)
    Ms. ******* has failed to report any of the pertinent facts surrounding this complaint. It is apparent the aforementioned mental illness has ultimately caused this entire debacle. Explaining why the instruction given was disregarded from lack of knowledge. We are forced to deal with incompetent individuals that seem to know our job better than we do. Our technicians are certified and factory trained, holding leadership for our industry in the area. 
    We provided service to the consumer (total 1.5 hours) and made multiple attempts to provide instruction for the proper power supply issue that was present. Unfortunately, the consumer disregarded these attempts and continued to supply the refrigerator with the improper voltage supply. In turn causing the unit's compressor to overheat and ultimately become inoperable. When an appliance, or any product, is not maintained and is supplied with improper electrical supply it is considered to be a FIRE hazard and poses risks outside of normal circumstances. When the consumer decided to disregard instruction by keeping the refrigerator plugged into a multi plug power strip also running several other refrigerators, the outcome was inevitably failure. The consumer was negligent and blatantly disregarded proper installation instructions of the appliance. This caused irreparable damage to a vital part of the cooling function. Yet that's "our" fault? Think not!
    The technician and his trainee were subjected to Ms. *******s belligerent behavior while in the home. Using slanderous names and both middle fingers to express her feelings as the technicians vacated the premises. A very warming moment for both technician and trainee. As they fled in fear of their lives, it was clear they were dealing with "mental health issues". Part of the job is to understand that we not only service the appliance, but as well are faced with situations such as these that may jeopardize their safety. THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!
    We feel it is only fair to request Ms ******* be held accountable for her actions. Compensation being provided to the two gentlemen that were affected and endured Ms. *******'s belligerent outrageous behavior. 
    Sincerely, 
    John Vass

    The video referenced by the consumer would need to be viewed by all parties involved and for all visits in question. The "anger" was apparent and reflected outwardly with the outrageous slander and actions portrayed by Ms *******. 

    Upon return, documented pictures show the unit was again plugged into the power strip as previously advised against. When addressed with the problem, it was obvious the dissatisfaction with the mentioned issue. This caused the refrigerator to fail, in turn causing the food to spoil and be "thrown out".  

    We have ample documentation that the technicians were in fear for their lives, as mentioned previously. Intentional damage is an outright false statement. Ms ******* is establishing sabotage and the accusation for forcible entry is deceitful and untruthful. 

    Any further false statements or slanderous accusations will be considered unlawful and considered for further actions to be taken in court. 

    Sincerely,

     - the response above does not address the part the service worker supposedly found was not taken out by us. 
    -when I spoke to customer service they at one point said it could have fallen out of the back of the machine. She then said it couldn’t have. And then she said it could have again. 
    - I had another person here working on my house in the basement witness my interaction with the repairman who said it was completely unacceptable the way he treated the situation and me. I strongly believe he created a reason to not service the appliance. This piece he pulled out may have been pulled out by him.
    I am not sure what the company is referring to in regards to the “type of people” they have to deal with. They are not doing their job and accusing me of taking something apart that I one hundred percent did not touch. I just wanted my dryer that was purchased less than a year ago, repaired. 


    and she gave me mixed answers while continuing to blame me for something I absolutely did not do. I am attaching a picture of the thing he said we took out as well as the unit inside. I am concerned he intentionally put it there. He was very unpleasant from the beginning. I hope it’s not because I’m a woman or because we have LGBTQ signs(and even something indoors that shows our Jewish faith) but I am very concerned considering his immediate demeanor that is the case.
    Regardless, he is accusing me of doing something I did not do and refused to service the dryer.

     This review has some true points in it, only the ones that state that the tech walked in, found the machine had the motor pulley laying on the top of it and the tech walked out. But, not before taking pictures of the unit and verifying that the front panel had been removed and damaged in that process. That along with the pulley  from the motor  laying on top, kinda tell the story here. The manufacturer is the one that states that if anyone has gotten into the unit that is not factory authorized it voids the manufacturer warranty.
      After reviewing the audio tape of the call, I feel for the CSR that had to endure the conversation with this person. We absolutely want you to know what type of people you are dealing with, nothing to hide here, but we sure wish you could understand what type of people we come across. It sure would open some eyes and minds.

    We did not remove or attempt to “diy” the unit. I was actually told the person who came didn’t even open the unit so I’m not entirely sure the pulley they said we removed was from our unit. Could it have been from our previous unit? Could it have been from the repairman? All I know for sure is that I did not take apart this unit and they’re saying there’s a piece that is now voiding my warranty. Knowing that I did not take it apart and the repairman who came was very aggressive and gave very little information, I believe they are to blame.

    In order to not be redundant, I will refrain from giving the
    facts as they were previously given. 
    However, I would like to direct the comment on the rejection.  You wrote, "I was told the person who
    came out did not even open the unit", but you then ask if the part could
    have been from the repairman?  You
    actually accused the repairman previously of planting this part.  I sure am confused by the contradictory
    statements and believe you are searching for and trying to place blame on
    Capital City Appliance Service, as your last statement conveys. We have pictures and data to support our claim and documentations
    for the manufacturer.  BBB, this complaint
    needs to be closed due to the ambiguity of the complainants’ story.  Nothing further Capital City Appliance
    Service can do and our company assumes no responsibility.
