Washing machine broke in January 2023 with water still in drum. Scheduled appt. for repair with A&E but soonest available was one month later. Took the day off work and technician never showed. Found out that A&E did not know the part had arrived but they never told me to let them know that it did and the day before my appointment I got an email that told me that the appointment was still on. First new appointment available after that is one month later. Took the day off work. Technician never showed. Was late with his other jobs so he cancelled ours. Next available appointment 2 weeks later. In the meanwhile, there is water in our washing machine that we cannot get out because it is unreachable. Mold is growing.It smells. Need to schedule another day off work.
Desired outcome: The next available appointment is for March 28th and we need to have the part installed now so that we can drain the water. Please move us ahead to the top of the list and give us a sooner appointment. Let me know.Thank you,Rick

My refrigerator broke and we called choice home warranty company and they sent a technician out to access to problem. After finding out the compressor needed to be replaced and that the compressor was still under warranty with sears they went back and forth with A&E about fixing the problem and approving the fix. Finally after it had been approved They set up a time for repair for which they called and rescheduled the appointment for over a week later. The appointment time comes after a week and then we get a call that they came out and nobody answered the door to which we were home all day and have two cameras outside and relay that information about the camera and said they went to the wrong address so they rescheduled again and got a call on the morning of the appointment time and said our repair window would be between 1&5pm. At 4:20pm they called to reschedule again because the tech had called in sick. It has been 9 weeks since my refrigerator has gone out and still have yet to fix it after rescheduling another repair time for a week later. i have called A&E several times and they said they can do nothing to dispatch a repair tech to get it fixed that we have to wait until the next available date. I put a complaint to the BBB and hopefully someone can do something with this company. If there was negative 100 stars even then they would not even deserve that rating.

On December 20 had a A & E employee come out to my house to review and assess the broken washing machine. He said he would need to order parts.

problem 1: no communication for a month about a return appointment, if the parts were ordered or even coming.

January 14 the parts were delivered to my house. I called to get an appointment. Appointment was scheduled.

Problem 2: Tech no show on Jan 20

Rescheduled a new appointment.

Problem 3: A repair tech came and shared the job took 2 repairs tech and he was unaware of this.

Repair man sent a message to the manager and shared that someone would be out same day.

Problem 4: No one returned the same day. My calls when unanswered by the tech that left me that day

I called A & E and escalated my concerns on the following days:

January 23 - spoke with floor manager (promised to call me back to see if my issue was resolved) NEVER DID
January 27 - spoke with a different floor manager (wrote notes in my file for company to address)

I was frustrated, so gave up for a week. On Feb 1 To my surprise A & E called me asking if anything had been resolved.

I shared the entire story from Dec 20 broken washing machine. They offered 1) buy out 2) repair man return. I chose repair man return.

Once again No show Feb 10 and No show on Feb 17

I called Feb 17 the corporate office I spoke with Thomas and he promised someone would call me within the week.


UNACCEPTABLE
I'm still waiting and it's been 2 weeks. I have had a broken washing machine since Dec 20. I've taken off of work 5 times! and I continue to pay for my monthly warranty WITHOUT getting service!
I need to someone in leadership to address my concerns.

My fridge was under warranty and LG contracts with A & E. The technician arrived on time and quickly determine that the compressor was bad and needed to order the part. He ordered the part via his phone on an AP and stated that it would be two weeks before the part was in, not convenient at all but OK. He scheduled another appointment for me today 12/4 between 8-12, so I took off work. I didn't get a reminder text as I did for the original appointment. It was 8:15 so I thought I would just call and verify, what a complete mess. I spoke to three people, including a Supervisor named Alex, LG called three times and spoke to Mandy.

All including the Supervisor have absolutely no customer service skills. I was referred to "Mrs Customer" on the calls. All conversation were scripted and answers did not even correspond with the questions. I work in customer service and I was extremely patient on the phone trying to do my best to review workflow processes etc and got absolutely no where. They could not verify if the part was ordered, it is in the computer as "research" and that it can stay in that queue/status for 21 days. No one verifies why it is in the queue or follows up with the distributor to see when a part may be delivered, "it's not their job". They then told me the part was going to be delivered to me and I should have notified them that I didn't receive it, no one told me that. I even let them know if a mistake was made, just admit it so we can start over - "no mistake was made".

I contacted LG and have requested to not be any further exposed to the ignorance of A & E's customer service department. They could not get any additional information from them either after two calls on their end. They has escalated my complaint within LG and vow to make it right without working with A & E.

I urge anyone who is considering working with A & E to reconsider, if you have any glitches in your process, they are not able to rectify the situation. You will be without your appliance, either under warranty or not and time from work waiting for service. I did not previously state this but I ended the conversation with the Supervisor stating they would text me within 21 days to let me know if the part is in or not, truly unbelievable.

My GE Profile refrigerator / freezer is still not functional after fifty-two (52) days and four (4) service visits. The last visit was October 24 when more parts were ordered. Have received email stating A&E is having trouble finding the parts. I have called several times and the last time (11/12) spoke with a Supervisor (Mars). I explained that I believe the last diagnosis was incorrect and requested a senior service technician come out and review the activities of the last four (4) calls, re-diagnose the problem and order the correct parts. No commitment, no call back, no further activity. Called back again today and spoke with Assa. Same run-around - -he will send a message to the Dispatch Group and someone will call back today or tomorrow. At this point I have no faith that my problem will be resolved through normal channels. I am now searching Corporate names and numbers.

I have had it! I will be without a clothes washer for over a month! Parts ordered...then canceled and now who knows what is going to happen. I call them everyday and get the same lip service...Oh, so sorry for your inconvenience. This company is the worst! Customer service is deplorable...I send have sent emails (with a read receipt...and they do not read them)...so I print the emails and mail it to the corporate office in TX. I have spoken to Customer Care (what a joke)...supervisors are condescending and rude...and NOTHING get done! I propose a class action suit against A&E. Anyone else interested?

This company is a complete joke. I called last week to set up and appt. Was given an appt for today between 8 and 5. I called a day later and explained that I would need a technician between 8 and 12 because we would not be home in the afternoon. I was told the NIGHT before my appt, I would get a call with a 2 hour window. Didn't get it so I called this AM and was told technician would be here this morning between 10:15 and 12:15. The time came and went. So, I called again and was told between 1:20 and 3:20............I lost it. I told the rep we would not be here then. He came me the technician's phone number. Her name was Cathy. I called her, left a message and she has NOT called me back. So, I am going to let Cathy drive all the wait out here in the middle of nowhere only to tell her, sorry................you are not working on my oven today because we are leaving. I WILL never buy another product that is in any way associated with Sears or A&E. They are liars and very unreliable. DONE WITH THEM!

Oversees call center rude. Hang up on you. Speak to you rudely. Incompetent and rude technicians.

February 17, 2018

Action being sought: 1) Receive the $150 Sears gift card that is due me, 2) Receive reimbursement of $167.93 paid for parts to repair washer covered under Sears Home Warranty, 3) Fix the lemon repair job A&E Services did on my Sears Kenmore Elite refrigerator at no additional charge, which also was covered under my Sears Home Warranty

Complaint: I am a retired and disabled citizen of Pennsylvania on a limited income who purchased a Sears Home Warranty for my new home through Cross Country Home Services. This was much more affordable on my limited means than buying a new home owner warranty given that the payments were $49/month versus a lump sum. However, I have been defrauded on three occasions by these companies collectively doing business as Sears Home Warranty: Sears Holding Corp, Cross Country Home Services, A&E Factory Services, and demand that these matters be made whole and complete, as stated above and detailed below.

The purchase transaction was conducted via telephone on November 20, 2017, after seeing the online promotions for Sears Home Warranty. At the time I was offered the first month free ($49) OR a $100 Sears Gift Card. I opted for the gift card as strongly suggested by Cross Country Home Services salesman and I was told it would arrive in 7-14 days. Subsequent to that, when the card never arrived in that timeframe, I was then told the gift card would be here in January of 2018. It is now February 2018 and I have never received the $100 Sears Gift Card that is due me. I demand the $150 Sears Gift Card be mailed to me immediately.

In addition, at the time of sale of the warranty the Cross Country salesman told me all of my appliances were covered no matter what, as long as they were running at the time of purchase of the warranty. He said that I could place a service call as early as December 20th -- it would be NO PROBLEM and I could have up to three appliances repaired under one service call. The salesman further said that if I had an appliance that needed repair NOW that they would fix it limited to $500. I said that was not necessary as all of the appliances work. And based on these agreements I made the purchase of the Sears Home Warranty. Well, fast forward to December 29 when the A&E Services tech Leon arrives to evaluate my Sears Kenmore Elite refrigerator, a dishwasher, and wash machine for repairs. A&E Leon tried to place a parts order but told me he was "locked out from fixing my wash machine because he needed authorization owing to the cost of the parts being over a certain dollar amount." The gal back at the office then declined to authorize that parts order because she said it was a pre-existing condition. And when I spoke with her on the phone she got very snippy with me and said that because I placed the call for service on the day that the warranty became active that it was obviously a pre-existing condition. Does she deem herself a detective, a psychic? As previously stated the high end wash machine was running at the time I purchased the Sears Home Warranty; add to that, the Cross Country salesman had guaranteed me that it would be no problem to place a service call beginning on Dec 20. If the washer was in need of repair I surely would have taken him up on the offer to have it repaired at the time I purchased the warranty. So the indigent gal who refused to authorize the parts purchase is way out of line and has no ground on which to stand. I debated her but she refused to fix my washer and fulfill the obligations of the Sears Home Warranty I had purchased. I finally told her that I would cancel the warranty but she could not have cared less at that threat. Leon then gave me the part numbers for the washer and I ordered them from Amazon for $167.93 then had them installed by my live-in caregiver. I demand the $167.93 be reimbursed to me immediately.

In addition, A&E Leon returned on or about January 19 to repair my Sears Kenmore Elite refrigerator and dishwasher. He fixed the appliances and assured me my expensive refrigerator would be like new as he had replaced the motor and condenser. However the refrigerator broke for what appears to be the same problem just a few days after Leon fixing it. I canceled the Sears Home Warranty because of all the many problems, poor customer service, scheduling problems, fraud and default on the warranty, unethical business practices. I demand that the lemon repair job by A&E on my Sears Kenmore Elite be made whole and complete at no additional charge, and should they perform poorly again that repair continue to be made until the unit is in working order.

Be aware that I lost an entire refrigerator and freezer of food, hundreds of dollars worth, owing to this lemon repair job for which I am not seeking compensation even though I should.

In addition, I've sent several emails to Cross Country with my complaints but the company has never resolved them. As the company's habit is to defraud consumers thusly I have no recourse other than to report them to the authorities.

Next Steps: I am/will be reporting Cross Country Home Services, A & E Factory Service, and Sears Holding Corp to the Better Business Bureau, and the Attorney Generals offices in South Carolina and Florida (where CCH has offices), Texas and Illinois (where A&E Services has offices), Illinois (where Sears Holding Company corp office resides) and Pennsylvania.

I have a home warranty with American Home Shield, set up a repair appointment for my side by side fridge and freezer. The fridge was cooling but the freezer wasn't freezing. The tech showed up from A&E, took my fridge apart, told me he didn't know what was wrong with it, sprayed some gassy chemical which made my children and myself cough even in another room, broke a collectable wine glass, and to top it all off said he needed to order a part and it would be sent here. He then proceeded to tell me he made my fridge problem worse. I went to the store when he left because my children needed a few perishable items. Spent $100- got home put it all away and thought it was odd that my fridge wasn't cool. I thought maybe it's because I had just put stuff away in it and I would give it time. Needless to say, four hours later went to make dinner and the fridge was still not cool. Needless to say our fridge is now not working at all, and all the food that I just bought went bad. I have tried every phone number I can find for American Home Shield, for Sears, and for A&E, I get nowhere. Today something will be done about this Or I'll be hiring an attorney. I'm also going to my bank and getting my $125 back. The technician was rude, unprofessional, and lacked knowledge of what he was doing.

I purchased Sears Home Warranty Plan & a & e appliance repair company was the subcontractor for my washer repair. I set up the appointment for 6/6/2017 tech arrived told my husband it was a transmission, he would order it and rescheduled our next appointment for 6/16/2017. We received a call a few days prior to our appointment, we were told that the tech could not make it and rescheduled for 6/22/2017. Tech arrived that day, took the washer apart discarded the bolts when he went to put in the new part in he didn't have the right tool. He then called for someone to bring out the tool, no one brought it; he then proceeded to promise us that he would go to Melville get the tool and be back the next day, he promised to also inform his supervisor & dispatcher regarding the plan. But he had to give us a new appointment date for 7/6/2017, this was NOT acceptable I was having out of town guests the next day & could not have this machine torn apart. We thought he was coming the next day; well at 3:30pm I called Sears Home Warranty Plan they told me that my next appt. was for 7/6/2017 and nothing could be done. I became so upset I demanded to have someone come out sooner to repair my washer, I was given an apt for 7/20/2017 that was an unsuccessful appointment. One 7/29/2017 sent two repairmen Aubrey & Marley (aka Heckle & Jeckle ) the first one called my on the phone & I asked if he had the tool to fix my washer he said he hadn't been here before and he had to look at it first . I tried to explain that a special tool was needed to do the repair, he disregarded me. The other repairman was very rude to me and then demanded that we had to remove the handicapped bars off the commode to do the repair, I had had a repair done to the washer before and did not have to remove anything. They also left and would not put the washer together. Finally a FEMALE tech with a helper came out and fixed my washer. To be honest I still have the same problem I called for but not as often as before. I WILL NEVER USE SEARS HOME WARRANTY PLAN AND A & E APPLIANCE REPAIR.

Did major work on a oven in Dec 29th 2015 including replacing hinges on the oven. The hinges have broken again 6 months after the repair. Their warranty is only 3 months and as it turns out I had a Kitchen Aid rep look at them and was told they used USED PARTS! Which is probably why they broke. When I call, I can't even get anyone from America on the phone. I get people from the Philippines who say nothing can be done. I would have my Credit card file a dispute except that I paid via check. I will NEVER EVER USE A & E again and will tell all my friends and neighbors to stay as far away as possible. And now that I read all the only dissatisfaction, I wish I had seen it all before I ever hired them in the first place! They should stand by their work and their parts. Obviously,3 months is not a valid warranty period. They probably do shotty work so they will get more business.

This nightmare began in March 2016 with the first call to Sears Home Repair. They sent A&E Factory Service (contract company) to make the repair. It was the compressor, $617.32. It has since taken 4 technicians to make the repair to the compressor on my refrigerator. The second technician put the compressor in and was on the phone with another technician because he couldn't get it to work. He then proceeded to me it was the wrong compressor. When the third technician arrived to install/correct the second technicians mistakes, we pulled out the refrigerator out and the floor was soaked, and had been leaking since the second technician put it back together and put the refrigerator back into place. Wood floors were buckled and damaged. Note: The refrigerator had NEVER leaked prior to these technicians working on it and we have lived in the home for 12 years. The second technician had wired it incorrectly, but I was told it was the correct compressor and gave me the number to file a claim for the damage to my hardwood floors. I filed a claim for the floor damage. The refrigerator still didn't hold the temperature in the freeze, even though he "charged" it with Freon, and it took a 4th technician to come and he once again charged with Freon and informed me that we may have a leak, which we didn't, the forth technician corrected the problem. So I have concluded, the second tech had no clue, then the third tech was still incompetent, because he couldn't even it charged with Freon correctly. The claim processed through Sedgwick Claims Management Services, Inc., which informed me I needed two estimates, which I complied and sent, along with pictures of the damaged floor. They then sent an General Adjustor to inspect the damage and he verified the floor needed to be replaced due to water damage on his visit on April 28, 2016. Since then I have been getting the runaround from Sedgwick Claims Management Services, Inc. and today I was told they would not cover the claim, as they can not prove it was their technician that did it? Do not let these people in your home!!! They are incompetent and can cause more damage than just to your faulty appliance. Hopefully this review will not be deleted so all those researching for someone to come into their home to make a repair will be for warned.

This is the FIFTH time A&E technician has been to my house to fix my oven. Each appointment, I have to block off my entire day because they tell you to expect the technician between 8am and 5pm! Thank goodness I am home with my two kids, I don't know what I would do if I worked full time. It is ridiculous for them to expect someone to take 5 days off from work! They are supposed to call and give you a more narrow time frame; that happened 2 (maybe 3) times. I have called to get a better idea of what time to expect them and twice they have been later than the 3hour window they gave me earlier! This would not be a problem if they called and gave me a heads up that they were running late!
I understand that it can be a guessing game sometimes to figure out what is wrong; but there is no excuse for poor customer service! Techs have been very friendly and polite upon arrival to service product in my home. Online/phone support is horrible! Need to retrain employees or fire contracted crew.
Unfortunately I have their warranty so hands are tied. Will go with a different repair company next time

I have been trying to get my refrigerator repaired since March 30th. We purchased an extended warranty through Lowe’s and they have a contract with A & E Factory Service. Today was the third trip for a repair person and today the tech said it was the compressor. He claims to have placed an emergency order for the parts and they will arrive tomorrow. A & E won’t reschedule until the parts arrive and the next date is May 13th. I am beyond frustrated with the lack of customer service from Lowes Executive Support and A & E. They have a script they read and do the bare minimum and at this point a light bulb should come on for someone that this needs to be escalated to someone who can get the frig repaired. I even contacted Mr. Robert Niblock, CEO at Lowe’s by email and phone only to get shuffled back to Executive Support. Lesson learned never buy from Lowe’s, don’t use A & E, and Executive Support and Mr. Niblock don’t care. Poor Service ‪#‎Lowe‬’s ‪#‎A‬&E Factory Service ‪#‎Robert‬ Niblock

We scheduled our washer to be fixed at the earliest appointment they had which was today
March 23, we waited over a week for today and we took off to be available for the repair person. I received no phone call by 3pm soo called them. Rep says yes they will be there by 4 pm. We receive a call at 20 after 5 the repair person was not going to make it. We call the "customer service" we explained our circumstance and they could care less and tried to book us for another week out. I stated that they should make an exception and we should be first appointment tomorrow. We spoke to a supervisor "Charlie"
He did nothing for us and could care less . Completely unprofessional.
I'm gonna file complaints everywhere possible

On March 9, 2016, my elderly sister had service to repair a burner on her gas range that was not igniting.
The technician from A&E Factory Service walked in and immediately diagnosed that a tiny port leading from the igniter to the burner was clogged. The technician stuck a tiny tool in the port and immediately cleared the clog. The burner worked and the whole process took approximately 3 MINUTES! He then went to his truck and came back with a bill for $205.77. The charge was $189 for the service and $16.77 tax. She questioned the amount but was told that's what a service charge costs.

When she told me what she had paid, I called the Customer Service number and asked what the charge was to repair a burner on my stove that was not igniting. I was told that the charge was $109 plus tax. I then said that I wanted to discuss an overcharge and was told I had to call another number. I called the second number and was told that to dispute a charge I had to call another number. I then called this third number and explained what had happened and said that this had to obviously be an mistake and requested that the charge be adjusted. I explained what had happened and that I had called to confirm what a charge would be for a clogged burner and was told $109. The woman then stated that the $109 was just to diagnose the problem and did not include the additional charge to fix the problem. I was told by the person that the rates are established by Corporate and no adjustment could be made. I then asked to speak to a supervisor and was told that she was a supervisor and there was no one else who could help me. I then asked where I was calling and she said she was in the country of Colombia. I requested to speak to someone in Corporate Headquarters and was told "no one there will pick up." I asked how I could speak to someone in Corporate Headquarters and was told no one there would speak to me and that she could give me the address in San Antonio, TX and I could write a letter.

This company is a disgrace and I hope that anyone who reads this will know never to use their services and to tell everyone they know as well.

This company is HORRIBLE. BBB will be contacted as well. Service call was on 01/24/2016. Technician was there for two minutes and stated he could not repair the refrigerator and charged me for the service call. Once he left I noticed that the receipt stated "customer refused diagnostic or repair". Which I didn't, I was beyond irritated!! I called the customer service # and asked for a supervisor. I simply wanted to complain on the technician and wanted a refund. The supervisor I spoke to Kevin, employee ID# 75374, stated he would research and call me back within 48 hours. He never called back, so I called on 1/29/2016. I asked to speak to him, he did not notate the account, did not remember talking to me and did not even open an account. He did not remember talking to me. He then stated that he would not refund the money. I advised him that he should have called me back, he stated he didn't remember talking to me or our conversation. I asked to speak to his boss and he refused. DO NOY USE THIS COMPANY!!!

Mr. Niblock,

Frustrated and angry! I have had enough! I purchased a Samsung Stainless steel refrigerator and have had issue since. My big issue is the ice maker. I have called in four (4) times for repair which equates to at least EIGHT (8) DAYS OFF OF WORK. I say "least" because:
service call 4 HOUR WINDOW - MISSED DAY OF WORK - NO PAY
when the tech arrives (without the part) he says huh it's your ice maker we need to order the part
the part arrives
another appointment needs scheduling 4 HOUR WINDOW - MISSED DAY OF WORK - NO PAY
Tech is on his way - "Sorry Ms. Rion, the techniciian had an emergency
Another appointment scheduled - 4 HOUR WINDOW - MISSED DAY OF WORK - NO PAY
Replaces the ice maker
Ice Maker craps out AGAIN
Schedule another appointnment - 4 HOUR WINDOW - MISSED DAY OF WORK - NO PAY
THIS IS REPEATED 2 MORE TIMES
Which brings me to this minute right now at 5:59 pm on Monday, January 4th. I had ANOTHER 4 HOUR WINDOW TODAY 1PM-5PM. NO ONE HAS SHOWN UP YET.

In addition, I was told that because my repairs are not a month apart, I can not get a new refrigerator. I was also told by the technicians that "the Samsung ice makers consistently go bad", I wasn't told this on the sales floor in Lowes

A&E repair and Dependable Appliance Center are the "repair" companies Lowe's has chosen to do business with. The service needs to be looked into to say the least. I have seen the A&E truck pulled over on the side of the road ...sleeping.

I was the director of Telecommunication for a large brokerage firm and understand customer service.
There is a large problem here. Please rectify my problem as well as the problem existing with the repair companies Lowes has aligned itself with.

I eagerly await a response from you.

Best Regards,

We purchased a Kenmore Elite Fridge/Freezer from Sears back in the Spring. About 2 months later, it stopped cooling. Contacted Sears--they sent a tech (A&E) out a week or so later. He had no clue what he was doing-said I needed a compressor. Had to order it-it would be shipped and they'd come back out..ANOTHER WEEK OR SO LATER. Part arrived about 2 days after he left. Next tech showed-he found there was a restriction somewhere-compressor wasn't needed. Said fridge should start working. It didn't. I called back. THIRD tech showed another week or so later (mind you, it's been almost a month now without a fridge). He repaired something-not sure what-but fridge started working again.

Here we are--Dec. 7th. Same issue. First available service appt was today. He showed bright and early (turns out, he was the 2nd tech I had during last issue). He detected a leak in coil. Ordered that b/c they can't keep them on their truck b/c they get bent and what not. Also ordered a new condenser or compressor or whatever as well to head off any future issues. He's a nice tech. I have no ill will against him. But, earliest they can schedule us is Dec 22nd. ANOTHER week later. Seriously, at that point, that's 3 weeks without a working fridge. Top it off with the holidays rolling around--I don't have time to wait!

The customer service reps are useless. They don't care about how much your fridge is needed. Or how you're sitting without one for such a long period of time. I'm so ill over this whole issue. I thought I'd be thankful it was under warranty, but I'm not! The length of time to get it fixed is unbelievably ridiculous.

We've purchased quite a few appliances from Sears and never had issues with anything. This lemon of a fridge (that cost a pretty penny) has become my least favorite thing.

I will NEVER buy from Sears again. Knowing I may have to deal with A&E Factory Services to repair something leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I'll do whatever I can to steer friends and family away from making their purchases there or ANYWHERE that A&E may be connected.

I've never been so disappointed in service in my life.

Tuesday of 2 weeks ago. I called for service on a dryer I have a warranty on. I was told that someone could come out that Thursday. I waited all day Thursday. No one came. I called A&E and they said that someone will be out Tuesday. Not one apology from them for the inconvenience. A technician came on Tuesday and was not able to fix the dryer because he did not have a part. They would not allow him to go get the part at the store and fix it. They had him order the part and reschedule for next Wednesday between 8-12. The part actually came the very next day via UPS. So its Wednesday and I called A&E this morning to confirm that someone is coming today. They said they are not able to make the appointment today. I spoke to a manager there who told me that they didn't know the part arrived so no one can be out for another week. They ordered the part and UPS orders can be tracked by them so they're just thinking of excuses. I called Samsung and filed a complaint with corporate about this company they use for warranties. The manager of A&E basically blamed me for not confirming that the part was received. This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. No customer service skills at all.

The driver, who was servicing our neighbor, drove his van onto our newly sodded lawn. What an unprofessional company, and forget about trying to get in touch with a competent person to explain the situation too. Never will I use this company, and urge you to do the same!

refusing to install parts before aug.19.2015. we have had no hot water ror 3 weeks now .the 19th .would be another 19 days. when called on the phone.the supervisor hung up on me.after i was pressing him for a sooner date. when i called back they refused to give me his name.and hung up on me again.

For the last month give or take, I have been working with A&E to get a technician in to do some warranty work on my Samsung washer; which I had less than a year. To give a little background, my washer one night "decided" that it wasn't going to cycle through any wash option and/or fill with water. After going through the basic trouble shooting, Samsung agreed to pay for the warranty work. They provided me two companies and A&E Factory Service was one of them; I went with A&E to my detriment.

The first technician showed up and saw that my machine was unresponsive and he could not get it into self-diagnostic test. He had to open it up and do some other work around. Not being a technician myself, it was clearly evident that something has gone wrong with the mother board. The technician’s diagnosis was, "soap sud build up". I immediately scoffed at such idiotic thing as my machine threw no code and the implication that soap suds would cause an extreme electronic malfunction means that Samsung’s engineering team really really screwed up. His argument was that we use "too much detergent". I asked him why did the machine not warn us like it specifies in the manual, and his response was that the sensors are a "hit and miss". He also said the door lock needed to be replaced and so he did so and ordered the parts for the pump, which delayed my machine being repaired another week.

The second appointment comes and a new technician shows up. This technician was very very knowledgeable about the machine and did his own diagnosing. When I told him what the other technician said about the soap suds and pump, he gave me the same face I gave the other technician. This second technician checked all the same stuff and immediately recognized that my machine was unresponsive. He tried 20 or so times to get the machine to go into self-diagnostics and even called for help which was a blow to his pried. He finally gets it to self-diagnose and nothing popped up as an error. What took him so long was that he found that the schematics were missing which he needed to troubleshoot; that the other technician must have taken them which rubbed me the wrong way about the other lousy technician. The second technician also checked my old door lock and didn't find anything wrong with it because it didn't work due to signal issues and not mechanical issues. He also concluded that the problems with my washer has NOTHING to do with the suds, that the machine will try to clean itself a few times before locking up which in that case would throw an error code. He told me upfront that he can fix the pump, but that's not going to fix the machine because the problems he found had to do with a communication issue between the electrical components. So he schedules an appointment with me to come back and orders the parts. I told him I may not be available then and he said just to call in and request a reschedule. All I needed to do is give them his tech id.

Now starts a new nightmare. So at this point it's been roughly a few weeks or so that our washing machine has yet to be repaired; an avoidable delay had the first technician been more knowledgeable. After scheduling another day and calling twice to confirm with A&E that they will send the same technician, I get a phone call on service day and it’s the wrong guy. So I apologized to him and said that he isn't the tech that I requested. I call A&E back and asked why did they send me a different tech after I called multiple times to make sure they ONLY send the same tech. They looked into it and said the tech I request called out. Ok not A&E's fault this time and luckily I didn't miss any work. Just was disappointed that yet we have to wait again.

So I schedule yet another appointment with A&E, this time taking 4 hours of my limited sick leave. They tell me the time is 8 am to 12 pm and confirm with me that they will send the correct technician given that he doesn't call out etc. Today 6/19/15 was the appointment. I call at 8am to get estimated ETA and they tell me between 11:30am and 12pm and reconfirmed for me that the correct technician has been assigned. I was a little mad about that because I felt like how can a technician show up at the back halfe of my window given the work that needs to be done? Ok so I was ready to deal with that and had to work out something with my employer. I get a call at 11:20am and its the WRONG technician telling me that he is an HOUR away and another customer is ahead of me making his arrival time TWO+ HOURS?! At this point I am very upset because this appointment cost me sick leave and A&E wasted it without any respect or regards for me as a customer. I called A&E very upset, and all I got was "I'm sorry" and they sent me to their resolutions team. Now I have to wait another week! And was given another promise that the right technician will show up this time. I felt disrespected and unappreciated by this company who carelessly wasted my limited leave. I asked them what is the point to giving customers 8-12 and 1-5 time frames if they don’t honor them? I asked them would A&E pay for my time I wasted waiting for nothing? I told them that driver should have called me at 8am and told me it isn't realistic that he can make it out by then, or the call center lied to me and made up an ETA without checking first with the technician. Whichever is the case, I deserve something from A&E for such disrespect, psychological stress they have caused me, and a lack of regard for my time. If this is how they treat people, I would NEVER NEVER NEVER recommend them to anyone. I was better off calling someone on Craigslist. At this point, I need to report them to Samsung that they are an insult to Samsung’s credibility. It’s bad enough my $800+ Samsung machine broke down on me with less than a year ownership.

I have placed a dishwasher repair 3 weeks ago and tech came by to look at the issue and ordered the part. Same tech that initially came by was the same tech that was suppose to show up last week but his truck unfortunately broke down and they had to cancel my appointment and I already took time off. Needless to say I was then scheduled for this past Wednesday and we specifically ask to put us at time pass 3PM. Same tech guy called me at noon saying that he will be at my house by 1PM. I said no and he said he will call me back later that afternoon to give me a time when he was done since he will be in the other side of town. 3PM we called the tech and left him a message that we are home and awaiting for him. We waited patiently but there was no call from the tech. We called their customer service and talking to someone from another country as their customer service is the worst. We called numerous times and said that the tech was in route from 4-5 then 5-6 then 6-6:30 then again 6-7. I ask customer service if they know what time it is right now as it was 7:20PM already and they dont even know what time it was where the service is suppose to be rendered. VERY UPSET and I frankly don't like being look upon that I am making this up since the tech even said to dispatch that he was at my home and no one was home. We talk at noon and like he said he was going to be at my house by 1 and I said no come later. I called customer service again today to find out what the status is and I already have an appointment again on Monday but there is no given time and once again no guarantee as to what time can they be here at my house. THIS company is the worst who cannot take responsibility to their actions and cannot make exceptions to the case that they clearly made a mistake on. Miss communication and unprofessional up to being incompetent employees and technician. THIS COMPANY IS SO BAD and BEWARE!!

I ask to speak with someone who can make some decision and I was told that there is no one and that they dont even know their own chain of command much less who can make any type of decision.
