Marie Goolsby Atlanta, GA

Horrible wished I would have looked at the reviews before I purchased this warranty. Please do not get this warranty its a waste of time and money. The vendors only do the minimum work. My tub was leaking down to my basement, and Harris Plumbing and Drain Care LLC only changed the showerhead and, it' still is leaking. The process of setting up the claim was easy but getting someone to come out and fix it long.

Wish I could give this service 0 Stars. I'm 73 years old and I have to tell you that this has been, without question, the absolute worst service I've EVER had. And calling in to find out what's going on, has been a nightmare. This week I spent 45 minutes on hold only to have the call (not for the first time) disconnected. I've been without my clothes dryer for over six weeks. The minute I get this resolved, I will drop this service (and I use the word "service" loosely). Horrible! Just awful! Save your money!!!!!!!

Don't buy warranty! If I could give no stars ,I would. This is a waste ,6 weeks for part to come in on range. No repair on washer or microwave. Have to keep year at $69.99 If can't repair will replace with what they choose or they will cash out for amount they choose They only gave $388 for our $800 microwave DON'T BE SUCKED IN!!!!! Front load washer door doesn't always unlock wouldn't repair bc didn't do when repair person was here. Repair person didn't do anything on microwave but come in and say " you need a new door" Door was $477 ,they deemed unrepairable. Horrible!

Sears home warranty is a joke. My refrigerator has needed repairing for two months. Parts have been at my house for a month. Two people have come out. Said that they didn’t bring the tools necessary. Said they would come back that day and never showed up. I called back and they set another appointment 6 weeks out. Terrible! The worse experience with home warranty I’ve ever had!

J.Ryan ,

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!

DO NOT BUY THIS WARRANTY! SCAM. I have never experienced such deplorable service. 3 year old Refrigerator stopped cooling July 22nd 2020. Tech came out the following week, looked in the freezer compartment, stayed 5 minutes, said it needed 2 parts. Waited until Aug 21st for parts, called customer service several times while waiting for the part, told something different each time.. Part installed Aug 25th, Refrigerator is still broken! Called for service, still waiting!!! On hold with Warranty Dept for over 2 hours, No one answers, no one cares.

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.

Plz plz plz can someone shut down these frauds ..... its a scam .. they r a team of cheaters and they dont fix anything. They send an electrician to fix our well pump . He took $100 and submitted a report saying the warranty does not cover the job . He told us he does not repair well pumps i wish I recorded that. All lies we paid $4k to get it fix which sears was suppose to fix under warranty. A team of frauds.Dont waste a single penny on this. Btw we payed extra for well pump coverage.

The worse service plan experience. Technician was in my home for 10 minutes, took $75 service call fee, with the promise I would hear from the company in 48 hours with some level of resolve. I have spent hours on hold and promises of a call back. Finally after my irate call three weeks after the visit they advised that they are not able to offer me anything! Totally opposite of what the technician advised. Would not recommend under any circumstances.

I would give less than one star if I could. Extremely dishonest and misleading organization. Refusing to provide included preventative visit for air conditioner. No recourse by phone or email. I have invested hours of my week into trying to make a simple appointment and have gotten nowhere. When I am fortunate enough to get to a human being in the US, the call mysteriously drops. DO NOT PAY FOR THIS WARRANTY!!! Sears is clearly continuing to implode from within.

Not even one star. This has been a horrible experience. We have had Sears out 4 times to repair a beeping noise in our refrigerator. When they left yesterday, it was left in demo mode so the compressor wasn't on. I've spent 2 hours on the phone with customer service and a technician and they can't help. They said they can come out again next week. It was basically, an "oh well too bad". Meanwhile, I'm throwing away all of my food. Horrible.....

On Friday, 5/1/20 I signed up with Sears Home Warranty when I scheduled a repair appt Mon 5/4 for my LG washer. On Saturday, 5/2 I was able to reset the washer myself after viewing a youtube video. I cxld appt then called to cxl warranty sign up. I was told to think it over. I read all the horrifying reviews and called to cancel today 5/5. They actually charged me a cancellation fee of $25.00. I am so glad I cancelled since this is NOT the kind of company I want to do business with. Stay away!

SCAM!!!!! My water heater broke and when I called to ask if it was covered I was told it wasn't. Later, (about a week), after re-reviewing my contract I found out it was covered. When I produced all of the necessary receipts Sears would not reimburse me because they said they did not have a record of the phone call. Not only do I not shop at Sears anymore, but I do not buy from any of their associating partners.

Stay away! They billed me twice in the amount of $839.88 for the annual plan March 14 & 16. That's $1679.76!. I have requested a refund for the second billing and have talked to several customer service representatives. Each time they tell me they will refund my overbill but as of May 1, 2020, I have not been refunded my money. This is my third year signing up for their warranty plan and based on this service there will not be a fourth. o disappointed.

My central AC unit has been in repair status for 5 months. Keep adding Freon, fix a leak here and there. Could not find a replacement A coil for the leaking one as the unit was old. Numerous calls and service visits with recommended system replacement from three different repair guys. They just do not care. They should be shut down for deceptive trade practice.

Bad idea. Scam. Payed in for years, called about a water heater and was told initially it was not covered. They hung up. Called back and they said we will check. Then told us it would be 48 hours to approve a claim and we only had one choice of contractor. Called the contractor and they were supposed to call back in 24 hrs - no call. Ever. Wife is talking to another "clerk" now. Don't do it!

DO NOT SIGN UP. The negative reviews are true. Some of the service people are incompetent. Long delays in getting parts. It has been 2 months and our oven still does not work properly. I was able to cancel but there is a fee. It is worth it so I don’t have to deal with their incompetence and long waits. You save nothing because your aggravation is sky high. GOOD RIDDANCE.

BEWARE! DO NOT purchase anything with this company! They provided the worst customer service I have ever received. It was a debacle trying to communicate with them. They insisted on ordering a $1300 part themselves instead of letting the local AC company in Houston get it. They dragged their feet for WEEKS in the summer heat of HOUSTON. I finally ended up paying for the AC repair myself rather than risking a mold bloom in the swamp of Houston. Save some money for home repair and do not engage with this rip off scheme of an industry.

1/28/20 repairman supposed to install parts ordered for Kenmore side-by-side fridge which is icing up on fridge side! 3 of 4 parts came in. We had removed all food per tech. No call from anyone! Have been talking with Sears since then, but they go around in circles! Meanwhile, food is being wasted. What good is a warranty? Would never get Kenmore again. Sad since Sears products always were the standard.

they most certainly have cancellation fees. I tried to get a drier repaired that they refused to service because it was in the garage. After that they would not cancel my account WITHOUT charging me a cancellation fee. It took a year of disputing their monthly charges on my charge card and when they finally cancelled my account because it was a new year all of the previous months of disputed charges showed up on my charge card. Do NOT TRUST THEM to automatically charge your credit cards for ANYTHING. They're totally unethical

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BUY THIS PRODUCT. This is a complete scam. We paid for this warranty for months and as soon as we made a claim, they cancelled our claim AND our warranty. They said they would refund 1 month's premium. They did not. Waste of time, energy and money! No amount of calls or threats helped. This should be a class action suit. Shame on Sears!

DO NOT Subscribe to this service! It is consumer fraud! I had the warranty for over a year. I filed a claim for a washing machine that stopped working and Sears immediately cancelled my warranty AND my claim! When I contacted them for the status of the claim they ignored my requests for information, were purposely misleading and deceitful. They gave me assurances that they would respond to my questions and NEVER did. They gave me an emails address to write to that went NOWHERE. They TOOK my money and when it came time to honor the contract they did NOTHING. This company is the WORST!!

This is an overpriced plan and NOT worth the $.Our new washer broke in early Oct. and after 5 service calls it was still broken. The tech was not able to repair the machine but instead of offering a credit for a new one they just kept scheduling more repair calls. It was still not working in January so we had to just purchase a new machine the $100 deductible was nonrefundable even though they didn't repair the machine.

My refrigerator had a major issue. Called Sears and it took them 4 visits over 4 months to repair. My error occurred during the second visit when I agreed to sign up to the annual contract, because the repair technician lead me to believe it was going to be a huge cost saving based on this repair. Needless to say the warranty company pocketed $300 over six months and charged me $202.00 for an early release from the contract. They are awful and scammers. Do not fall for this sales pitch. I wasted $300!!!!

If I could give 0 stars I would. I started my service in December and had to wait until January for my service to kick in, fine not a problem. Two days after my service kicks in they denied my claim!!!! Oh but they took my $69.99 though, what a scam. I thought I would recall in the appointment when I did I got a service provider to come out and when they got there they told me the job was canceled and I would have to pay the $100 deductible. I would be reluctant if I were you to use this scam.

Every time you call you get run around. Take several calls and months to get something repaired. my dryer needed repair and I placed a claim almost 2 months before cancelling the contract. I called almost every other day to get a status. They told me over and over that even if the contract would cancel and work started would be completed. They dragged their feet and now I am being told that the work/replacement can not take place because the contract is cancelled. they lied.

Too bad I did not read the reviews before I purchased this warranty. The company sells their warranty as Sears but it isnt really Sears. It's a company called Cinch Home Warranty. Then, when you make a claim, they search for reasons to not cover your appliance repairs. They use code words like "manufacturers defect", "structural defect" etc.. In order to deny your claim. I'm contacting the Attorney General first thing in the morning. I recommend everyone do the same so that we can file a class action lawsuit.

This is a Scam using the Old Sears name. Hardly anything is actually covered. Extremely difficult to cancel unless you cancel your credit card. They'll take a "deductible" for a repair call, keep you hanging for several weeks and eventually tell you that the repair is not covered. It's heartbreaking to see the state of what once used to be America's premier corporation. There really is no other word for it other than "SCAM."

We have been without a water heater for weeks because it had to be ordered, picked up by the assigned plumber and then scheduled for installation by that plumber. The plumber assigned to us was unreachable. They never called back when we were able to leave a message and now their mailbox is full. When we requested a new plumber it has taken much more time for a supervisor to approve the change. We are still waiting!

Technician was unable to repair our Jenn-Air cooktop (9/17/19). Sears shipped a GE cooktop (10/10/19). Technician installed it improperly (10/16/19) and it fell apart (10/17/19). Another technician came to inspect unit (10/2419). He said it needed to be replaced and called his supervisor with that information. Numerous calls since then but no action.

This is a scam. Paid for service for over a year. When furnace broke down they sent someone out. Within 30 seconds the technician said oh no this is not covered. I asked why and he said because it heated the hallway and hallways are not covered. I explained to him that it also had a bed room and then he said it was not covered because the unit was located on the roof. Say way from this scam. Feel free to contact me for any additional information you may need. Thanks Joe

Lots of money but I the small type, it says they do n’t actually cover critical items and they break like the door of our washing machine. Paid them $600 per year and $75 per visit and then they do not cover a breakage. And try to cancel, they claim you have a contract and try to back charge you for old repairs. Beware.

Their initial response time is good - within a day. But after that, it's horrible. It took 3 weeks to get parts for a 3 year old Kenmore refrigerator. I recently filed a claim for a 13 year old Kenmore washing machine. It's been two weeks and they have not been able to tell me if they can get the parts. When I called, I was "disconnected" three times. Now I'm being told it will be another 48 hours (its Friday and weekends don't count) until they can decide what to do (further search for parts or pay for a replacement).
