Could not give a 0 star, but that would be what they deserve. I have Sears Home Warranty for well over 6 years and when I put a claim for the first time (a microwave repair), I realized for what I have been paying for so many years. A complete waste of money. I put a claim two months ago and I am still making frequent calls with no success. I am done with them and I would not recommend it for anyone.

I’m being told that there are no in network service providers in my area so I have to go outside the warranty to make my own appointment and file all of the paperwork and be reimbursed after the fact. I’m making my own appointment with Sears Home Services. They repeatedly try to transfer me back to the warranty department to make the appointment. I have to stop them and explain that the Sears Home Warranty company told me that Sears Home Services is NOT in network and will not make the appointment for me. Sears should be embarrassed to have their name attached to this product.

I have never been more disappointed in a warranty service than this one. I have been a customer for 2 years. During this time I have paid $70 PER MONTH FOR NOTHING. I have had two appliances fail. Each time it was an emergency. Once the furnace this time the hot water heater. I am out $1600. Now it will cost me additional money to do all of this work. Never again.

had a microwave "repaired" over a month ago. The service person said it couldn't be repaired and would need to be replaced. I've gone round and round with customer service over the phone (likely in India?) and have not heard back from anyone via email or phone. For what I'm paying, including the deductible for the repair that didn't happen (mind you, it was usable before the repair...now it is not) I could have just replaced the microwave. Ready to dump this plan and would not recommend it to anyone. Truly awful customer service.

Consumer BEWARE - Sears has changed, my entire family has been a loyal customer but that is over. They are happy to take your money but god help you if you ever try and make a claim. They will find a way to minimize the cost on their end and hit you with hidden costs from third parties. Shame on you Sears, admit it, it's time to call it, stop screwing customers and face it you're done!

I had a Tech come out for a yearly maintenance call on my washing machine which was working fine. He said the boot on the door needed to be replaced and would order one. We went to use the washing machine and it flooded our laundry room. Now they don’t know if they can get the part. So now so I have washing machine that was working fine and that theSears tech broke. When you finally get through to a representative on the Hd phone they are no help. So I paid for a warranty contract to have my washing machine being broke by their tech. Totally unsatisfied.

My elderly parents Kenmore fridge broke down and it’s almost been one and a half months. Food has spoiled, they have been given a run around and they have been having to buy ice to keep it cool. They have not even been offered a loner fridge. It’s truly unethical and I’m deeply disappointed. I need to take this to a higher level as they cannot do this to people who pay monthly for a warranty!

If only I could give ZERO stars, I would. For the last 30 years I have used a Home Warranty program. New home, new Home Warranty company. In Feb. 2021, 6 Months ago, I paid the $100.00 for a Wall Oven Repair on a 3 year old Oven. To date that has not been fixed. Sears and appliance company have No Follow through with each other. Good Luck if you want something repaired OR even a Response as to why its not being repaired.Cancelled this Warranty Service as quick as I could.

First, their phone system stinks! I waited the over 73 mins they said was the wait time and still no one answered! It is all but impossible to speak to a live person and when you do they can never help. I had 3 appointments and they still did not fix my leaking freezer -it's been 3 months since I first called to schedule (therefore now my wood floors are buckling). On the 4th scheduled appointment they don't show up! I'm canceling my service!

Worst service ever!! My experience has been terrible. My air conditioner is covered by the warranty and a replacement was "approved," but they just give me the run around and weeks later I am no closer to having it replaced. Each number I call refers me to another number, and no work gets done. It is fraud to take my money with no intention of providing. Beyond frustrating.

The service is extremely poor. I requested the service for my gas cooker and it took two weeks for the guy to show up. once he came, it turned out, that he didn't have the right equipment to check the cooker and next appointment was set up in another three weeks. The guy never shoed up and just put in the report, that it is not covered by warranty! This is ridiculous. I would not recommend this warranty to anyone. Cleveland, OH

I used Sears/Cinch Home Warranty to replace a water heater. I was billed over $500 for modifications that I was not informed of or approved. I have spent hours on the phone with customer service, they either disappear, or are very rude. Now I have to hire another plumber to come in because the job does not meet the city code and Sears/Cinch does not cover those charges.

Terrible! Don't waste your time or money with Sears Home Warranty. I've spent hours, on dozens of different phone numbers trying to resolve a service call that I cancelled because of expense and long wait time for parts. All of my appliances are from Sears, but their labor prices are very high and their repair schedule was way-too long. Who waits 16+ days without a refrigerator? The only good thing that I found during this learning event is that their prices on parts were comparable with other companies.

We have had very bad experience with Sears Home Warranty. We have a Kenmoe Elite refrigerator which required repair within 3 years of purchase. They have rebuilt the refrigerator twice within a one year period and it still continues to fail. Their phone representatives do not appear to be well informed. The company keeps terrible records of their service. They are not customer oriented. In my opinion, it has been a waste of our money to purchase their home warranty plan.

We were forced to get a warranty plan because our new refrigerator was a floor model. The ice maker quit making ice within the first month. When I called to schedule a repair, the earliest they could come out was six weeks later. Fortunately, my husband is a licensed electrician and was able to fix the ice maker. Ridiculous to pay all this money for repair coverage and have to wait forever or fix it yourself. The customer rep suggested that I buy ice cube trays. No thanks! I paid a lot of money for this refrigerator and for the worthless warranty.

Sears's service is absolutely terrible! I was cancelled twice by the company selected to perform preventive maintenance for my air conditioner and lied about "leaving messages that were not returned." In addition, the service attendants on the phone spoke broken English, had difficulty understanding my questions, and most seemed new to the job, unable to help me. I am canceling my service agreement as soon as the air conditioner is checked.

If I could give this zero stars I would. My water softener was overflowing and the tech came out to look at it and said that it was pre-existing from before I got the warranty. So I paid $100 deductible and they denied my claim. I canceled my plan because I am in fear of paying another hundred dollar deductible and they’re just gonna deny it. Total rip off

The service for replacement on an HVAC is awful!!! After 6 calls and 2 1/2 hours on the phone, the best that I could understand was that it will be 5-12 days before a decision of coverage can be made. The Sears tech said that the unit was unsafe and needed replaced immediately!!! You will speak with non US based phone center so there is a language barrier. The warranty itself is ok, but trying to get services on the warranty is torturous

Bought an extended warranty on my Kenmore washer. Granted it is an older front loader but a very good model as one technician stated. I would renew at each 3 year interval. Warranty states they will repair or replace. When my washer stopped working on 1/26/21, I was assured that they would repair it. Now is day 91 without repair nor replace. I have called them repeatedly without resolution. It appears there is no end to this. Case 7088724.

I can’t even give them a single star, they should not be in business and I feel sorry for the people who fall for their advertising. After six months, lost days of work waiting for techs that don’t show up, and continuing to pay their monthly fee just to get a job completed, I still don’t have a working oven. And despite their advertising, they refused to replace the unit they are unable to fix.

Absolutely the WORST scheduling system ever experienced to date on the Web and their phone interface is even below that. Have spoken to 4 different people who have routed me to multiple groups and then back to the Web site. Have burned almost 3 hours during the past 2 days and still unable to set a service date. Always trusted Sears services but no more. Clearly no respect for their subscribers and will cancel as soon as possible.

Total SCAM. Had terrible experience trying to have them to fix my refrigerator. 5 weeks and several hours on the phone - still no working refrigerator in my house. Was trying to cancel the warranty. Apparently I owe them more money. Few hundred dollars down, with no service ever provided (except customer service on the phone, what promise you to escalate, check the status, etc). DO NOT let yourself into this situation. Waste of money and time. Not worth even a penny

This is a great place to vent frustrations against Sears Home Warranty, especially when they make you feel like you are crazy and have no control over them. However, if you FILE A COMPLAINT, you should see some ACTION on your claim. Legally, they MUST respond within 15 days of receiving notification of your complaint. After months of getting the runaround, I filed a complaint and within 2 days I had a case manager contact me to resolve the problem. The case manager was helpful and efficient, nothing like the overseas customer service (ha!) reps that I'd gotten before.

They claim they dnt depreciate your merchandise.. they just refuse to work on it. Per the tech they are not even Sears! Sears filed bankruptcy some years back and these guys have legally adopted the name and reputation fooling everyday customers like you and i. We pay the hi monthly note and deductible thinking we are backed by a reputable company only to find out they are not who they say they are and will find every reason in the book to not honor your contract!!!!

I'm not even sure now this is not qualified as a scam. We have had them out twice now, both times they said the warranty doesn't cover the issue. They sent out a plumber who tried to charge us 1300 dollars on top of the 100 we paid just for him to spend 5 minutes looking at it, to replace a pipe. We got a second opinion and the pipe did not need to be replaced, it needed to be snaked from the inside. It only cost 200 dollars. These people are running a con job and you should save your money.

Customer service is horrible, it is extremely difficult to get through to anyone and they NEVER HAVE ANYONE IN YOUR AREA. Instead of just paying the deductible like other home warranties ive had in the past, they have you contact a provider, have the provider call when they are at your house, give an estimate, AND THEN you submit a receipt to them and fight to get your refund back. DO NOT RECOMEND.. switching back to AMERICAN HOME SHIELD, theyre not perfect, but a 100% better than this company!

When I signed up, I was promised that I would have Sears service work on my high-end Sears appliances. My induction cooktop is broken and I was told Sears has no availability for the next 2 months. They sent me to 3 "qualified" repair people, each of whom, not only can't work on an induction cooktop, they didn't know what it was. I have spent an inordinate amount of time trying to get this sorted. Now that I'm trying to cancel my warranty, I've been told they are charging me for another 1/2 even though I'm fully paid through next month. They are the worst!

Got roped into purchasing the Sear's Appliance Warranty Plan when a technician came out to fix the ice maker on a 1yr Kenmore refrigerator that I bought from Sears. Tried to cancel the Plan but said I was locked in for 12 months! So I have to keep paying $50 a month! for a total of $600. The technician tricked me because he made it sound like I could cancel and I did not receive any details of the plan. I won't make that mistake again!

I CALLED and made an appointment because my dryer was making a loud noise. I advised that the problem was that it was making a loud noise when I called. They charged the $75 deductible on my credit card. Then when the repairman came, he advised they do not do ANYTHING when the appliance is making a noise. So, if the belt goes out afterwards, I have to pay the deductible again. At no time when I made the appointment was I told this. VERY UNHAPPY! I give no stars.
