Sears Home Warranty Reviews

I have had Sears Home Warranty now for 2 years. The most frustrating part of the plan is getting it set up the folks on the other end of the phone due to accents. My main warranty calls have been for my refrigerator with built in ice maker. Had Sears here a couple times. Problems with the ice machine was all manufacturer related. Sears will come back at no charge for the same issue within 180 days. So, basically I paid $75.00, and they came here several times for the same issue due to the refrigerator. I have also had them here several times for my washer, which seems Whirlpool made the agitator pretty cheep. I just changed my plan to the whole house plan. The only experience I have had with that as of this first month, is when I did set it up, the man I spoke with asked if I had central air system, as they were setting up appointments for the annual maintenance, which is of no charge each year. He also advised that in August, I needed to call for the Heating System cleaning and maintenance, which also was at no charge each year. There is a 30 day waiting period when setting up the plan for any services. As stated, except for the frustration of foreign accents setting the account up, everything else has been great with Sears (Cinch) Home Warranty.

Put in a claim December 3rd 2021, still waiting for Microwave repair and finally after 4 months , I was directed to a US person and was able to take care of my claim ASAP. Michelle was very clear and concise and promised that all would be taken care of within a couple of week. Indeed , I was contacted by a store manager for Sears and he personally brought a new GE microwave from 120 miles away. The installation was to be done by a service tech but I ended up doing that myself. Bravo and thank you. It pays to stay focused and keep calling until you get a response.. Again , thanks to Michelle.

We have a Sears warranty for our dishwasher (Kenmore). It has been a problematic purchase - issues started after we'd owned it for only a few years. The last time it failed, it took 2 months for the Sears repair people to finally get it working. However, Sears was not 100% to blame. The issue is that the repair people are often incompetent, dishonest and downright lazy. We did finally get one that fixed it, but I will spare you the details of our multiple visits. Why the 4 stars? Because Sears did really try. They sent us compensation for our troubles and continued to send people out to resolve the issue. The Sears phone reps were polite and did their best to help us. The issue is that repair people *in general* are not very good. So even when you hire people yourself, you can run into the same issues we did. Sears did not give up and kept on top of it until our issue was resolved, in spite of the poor performance of some of the repair people.

Its easy to schedule an appointment online. However sometimes the wait is longer than I'd like. The technicians are friendly and respectful. We had 3 appliances break down in a 2 week period. Optimum Appliance did a great job accessing the problem and fixing my oven sensor and dryer sensors. Our Bosch dishwasher technician told us nothing is wrong with the dishwasher, so we rescheduled for 3/22. At that appointment he thought we need a new motor & ordered the part. Our next appointment to install is on 4/9. Wish it was sooner as we are dealing with a dishwasher that isn't cleaning well. It is very difficult to get a customer service representative on the phone.

Sears Home Store in Knox Indiana. Expedited the service call and on June 3rd late afternoon my craftsman 8400 pro series was repaired and all is working well. Contacted Sears Home Warranty May 30, 2020 about my Craftsman 8400 pro series riding mower which I paid a little over 4000.00 including a 3 year warranty. I was told by the person I would be contacted within 48 hours. I never heard back so I called after 48 hours and was disconnected. So I called the Sears home Store in KNOX Indiana where I purchased mower from. The man was able to get me a appointment for technical service to come out. The service technician will not arrive for 3 weeks!!!!!! I am disabled, my wife has to use a push mower .... We have 1 1/2 acres that need to be mowed weekly. This is completely unacceptable after paying 4,000.00 for this mower. I am contacting local tv stations for buyers beware. This mower was purchased May 28, 2019 and well maintained with oil changes, air filter change and using the appropriate gas. The mower will not move forward or backwards and does not appear to have a broken drive belt.

We have Sears HW about 4 years, and , if you play by the rules they are very good. What people don't take into consideration is there AC and heating preventative checks at no charge, 1 in the spring and 1 in the fall.
