In 2018 I purchased from SEARS the KENMORE ELITE FRENCH DOOR REFRIGERATOR model 795.74093.410.
The control panel inside the refrigerator went out. No lights. The refrigerator ran fine and still had ice. I called Sears for repair. They sent a technician out. He stood in front of the refrigerator and announced I needed a new compressor. I informed him that the refrigerator was running ok. But the control panel led lights went out. He replies, "You need a compressor and a new circuit board". He said the compressor would be going out in a week to 6 months, so might as well get it fixed. He ordered a new compressor and circuit board and was having it delivered to the house. He said to call him when it gets here. He also asked for $348.42 up front. According to the technician, these Sears refrigerators have LG compressors and they are faulty and there is a class action lawsuit against LG. I also found a class action lawsuit against Sears. Like so many others who have filed complaints against Sears, I too, will never purchase another Sears product. This refrigerator was a $3000.00 item and it was a very long time before I had enough money to purchase it. Foolish me, I expected it to last me at least 10 years or more.

I have had Sears senior service technicians to my house 6 times and talked to customer solutions numerous times since July 2018. Each time I get told that they need to have another Sears senior technician to verify that the dishwasher is unrepairable. After replacing all parts and electronics three senior technicians have said that the unit is unrepairable. I have seen this stated exactly on their work order text entry. The service technicians have been to my house 6 times which is extremely inconvenient and costly to Sears. Each time I’m told by CS that one more service visit is necessary. For the last 3 service visits the technicians have clearly stated in the reports and conversations to Customer Solutions that the dishwasher is unrepairable. I am just going in circles with this process. I need Sears management to make a decision to replace the unit since it has been officially declared unrepairable.

This letter is being written pertaining to our Kenmore Elite LFC31626S. We purchased this unit on 11/28/16 1year 7months ago. It broke down on June 13, 2018 and to this day of July 26, 2018 it is still not working. During this time period the Sears Technicians have been here 5 times. The first 3 times the same was Technician had come each time exceeded the time stated. Each time he had to order parts I am assuming he is replacing parts by the process of elimination at my expense. On the second time this Technician had raised his voice accused me of relocating when in fact they were right where he put them. The 4th time again he had to order more parts and again he yells at me and all my company heard him and put them on edge. A new Technician showed up on the 5th time and installed all the parts order. He says all is well and left. I opened the refrigerator and noticed it still is not working and called the service center. They had a Technician from Georgia come to check out the installation of parts. He could not get the refrigerator to work. He said he was going to order the same parts all over to see if that works. The parts will be in in 2 weeks. I spoke to women at the service center she said that if they can’t fix it they will give us $500 towards a new refrigerator. This is not acceptable it has already cost me $371.41 for parts. So what they are really saying is that they will give me $129.00 for a new unit. This refrigerator cost over $2000.00. I have emailed numerous people since week 3 at sears HQ with no responses as of today. Shame, shame

I bought this LG refrigerator 2 years ago for my mother. The refrigerator evaporation system stopped working on April 4, 2018. I have been in contact with Sears who not only questioned warranty (which was resolved each time) but who could not offer anything but back orders for parts expecting to come in at "any time." These parts began to arrive the afternoon of May 14 after the technician abruptly left that morning. The parts continued to come in that week. I could not get another appointment until June 4th. Because of the time and the need of a refrigerator for my mother ( 86 with dementia, high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease) I requested a replacement. Of course, her conditions did not warrant a replacement.

I am really amazed by the lack of compassion shown by this company. I expect the technician to be here on June 4th (2 months). I hope the appointment is honored and conditions in my mother's home return to normal. She does not understand why the refrigerator is not working. I live in the South where temps have reached as high as 95 degrees so far. The small refrigerator she is using is inadequate for storing left over foods.

I am very disappointed with Sears. Every time I call the company, I feel as though I am being mocked. I think the conduct you have shown my family could have been handled better. When I talk to reps on the telephone, they listen, but they seem to be empty people with no kind of humanity. Work on that. I do commend you on this platform from which I can express my frustrations. Just fix the refrigerator June 4th, my mother would appreciate it.

On Monday March 12, 2018 I had an appointment between 8 am and 12 noon for a technician to come back and install a part for my refrigerator. The appointment was made 3 weeks in advance. The day before I got reminder the appointment. However on Monday I waited until 12:05. No Technician. I called Sears Repair to find out when the Tech was coming, only to find out the appointment had been
cancelled. I inquired why I was not notified., since they have my home # and cell #. After being on hold for a while, I was told the Tech had called in sick. That answer was unacceptable so i asked to speak with a supervisor (Aaron ID#622456). His excuse was even less acceptable since he didn't seem to have a clue about what was happening. If an employee is sick, they would have to notify the job at least 30 minutes before start time. So there was plenty of time to notify me the customer of a cancellation. Aaron offered to have a Tech come the next day Tuesday March 13 between 1 pm & 5 pm. I agreed. However I received a voice mail at 3:13 pm apologizing but the appointment had been cancelled. I later looked at my email and saw 1 from Sears confirming appointment. (I was confused) Thinking the voice message was more accurate, I put the appoint out of mind. Today Around 12:15 pm I get a voice message on both my home and cell phone from a Tech saying he's running behind and will be at my home between 4 and 5 pm. (again I change my plans) Whether this will happen remains to be seen. Even if it does, the fact remains someone didn't do their job. There's a lack of communication between staff and management, and/or departments. We the customers are being inconvenienced. I have a life, other things to do. I have been with Sears for many years, but I also have choices. Dorothy Walker

We bought our house 3-4 years ago knowing the kitchen needed attention. We had the wallpaper removed and refinished, then painted. We then went out and bought all new new appliances, stove, dish washer, refrigerator and microwave at Sears. Then we hired a cabinet maker to build new cabinets to fit around these appliances. Which they did. Since then the oven drawer every time we pull it out it falls out of track. Next we had trouble the 1st year with the refrigerator had to have it repaired, now in the past 3-4 months we have lost frozen food and meats 3x. The receiver was replaced first. That lasted 2-3 weeks before we woke up to a wet floor and defrosted freezer. Waited about a week the same repairman came just shaking his head.. this time he replaced the drier. After a few days we felt safe so we bought some more meats again. The next week we woke up to another flood on our floor. Again for the 3 red time we lost a freezer full of meat from steaks,roasts, turkybreast, frozen vegetable and fruits ( used for smoothies) that was in earlier August I believe. The same repairman came again and did what his bos told him to do he recharged the unit and left his gauge on it after about 20 minutes it went down to 20 lbs. so he waited a little while and checked it again the gauge was on ZERO. It leak all the Fremont out. He was told to put in a request for a replacement.
That was almost 4 weeks ago now they told my wife last week that we had to have the repairman back out again, he was here Monday around 8am. He made some phone calls and the person couldn't find our record in the files until she heard the word lawyer, then she confidently found them. We are still waiting to hear from you people.
I spoke to a young man from the corporate office and he told me over a week ago that we would be revceinig word within a day or so to get a new refrigerator but that never happened either.

I have a wall oven model # 790.47893604 which I purchased in 2010. We purchased all appliances from sears. This oven was installed in 2011 and problems began in 2013. I was told warranty had just runout. We only live at this location for a month or so out of the year so we just didn't use. We are living here now full time and I have read that there are all kinds of ovens with the same problem. I tried to find a recall but cant find one. I was hoping sears might have a fix for this oven now as complaints seem to have stopped with this problem. I think that this was a common problem and should have been recalled. This oven has seen very limited use.

After countless phone calls over the last several months/years with numerous different Sears staff, I have been told by Chris “sorry, there’s nothing more we can do for you”. This is unacceptable. I have attempted to get this issue resolved with no satisfactory results since before the warranty expired.

In 2010 I remodeled my kitchen and purchased all new appliances from Sears, including Kenmore Elite Refrigerator Model 106.45423801; I also purchased the 5 yr extended warranty on the refrigerator. The purchase was made from the Sears store in Tigard, Oregon.

In 2014 the ice-maker auger stopped working and I contacted Sears to have it repaired. They sent out a Service Tech from All-Pro Appliance (503)747-5509. The tech looked at the problem and determined that a new door was needed, which he ordered from Sears. Several weeks later a new door was sent and the tech returned to install the replacement door #1. However, when he opened the box (box did not show any damage) the door itself was defective; the stainless steel front was concave. The service tech called and ordered a 2nd replacement door and took away the defective replacement door #1.

Several weeks later replacement door #2 arrived, and the same service tech came back out to install it. However, when he unpacked the door he said this one was also defective - the ice/water dispenser had not been installed correctly and that water would just run down inside the freezer door. So he did not install replacement door #2. He called Sears again while at my home and was told that since they had already sent 2 very expensive but defective doors, it was unlikely they would try a 3rd door and would probably just replace the entire refrig/freezer with a new one. But he was told that he should leave replacement door #2 at my house and that Sears would contact me to come and look at the situation.

Sears NEVER contacted me, and replacement door #2 (in a box the size of a casket) is still sitting in my garage. The original freezer door is still in place, the ice-maker auger and dispenser does not work, and with all the attempted repairs the freezer door does not close tightly.

I realize that this has gone on for awhile and the warranty is now expired. I was unable to continue to deal with this because 1) I didn’t know who to contact and Sears was supposed to have contacted me, and 2) my father was diagnosed with cancer so I had to care for him in Washington state. He passed away recently and I am now home trying to take care of this defective appliance. If Sears had taken care of the problem back when they provided 2 defective doors and the extended warranty was in place, this wouldn’t be an unresolved problem. I have purchased major appliances from Sears for years and have never run into a situation before like this. My daughter is building a new home currently and we’ve looked at Sears appliances, but with this unresolved issue hanging out there, she will never purchase from Sears again.

I've also attempted to email the customer service email [email protected] and have never received a response.

I purchased a Kenmore Ultra Wash Dishwasher in March of 2014. When it stopped working in May of this year (2016), I was shocked to learn the motor had died and for only $481 I could have a new motor installed!!!!!!
I live alone, am out of town frequently and only run the washer every 3-4 days when I am at home. I searched the internet only to find out this is not uncommon with Kenmore today. Ref: mythreecents.com
I have purchased Kenmore products in the past and have always believed they were of good quality. But....2 years to fail on a major appliance is unacceptable. Not only does this require me to put out $$$ for a product that should have lasted 4-5 years or more, what happens to the broken product? I was told by the Sears service man that this is typical of products today...built-in obsolescence!!!
I would hope a company like Sears would have more interest in our environment and not add to the waste of materials, labor and...most importantly adding to what is a MAJOR disposal problem.
Does Sears care about our Environment? I don't think so! Will I purchase from Sears again? Probably not.
