Humble, TX repair reviews

This has been an ongoing issue since July. My fridge/freezer combo is under the additionally purchased Master Protection Agreement. It wasn't holding temp so I called Sears and they sent out A&E. The first gentleman, John H, came out and tried to tell me it wasn't working because it was in the garage. He was very rude and condescending. I'm a DIY guy so I know a bit about repairing various items. So saying it wasn't working because it was in the garage was flag #1. The unit had been working for a year in the garage before it started to act up and has been in the garage for the last 2 years. I called because it wasn't working properly anymore. Finally I convinced him and he ordered a new compressor. A week later he came back to install the new compressor. When installing, he found a leak in his solder and tried to fix it but in doing so messed up the compressor. He had to order another one! Flag #2. I requested a new technician because John H has been rude and obviously incompetent. A week later they sent out Raul who was much better! Very professional, courteous, and solders a lot better than the previous tech. Unfortunately, the unit still did not hold temp so I called and scheduled a new appointment. Now it's June 30. They sent Larry who was also professional and courteous. He did a great job installing a UV dryer to check for leaks and refilling the unit with refrigerant. Unfortunately, after 2 days of holding temp, it stopped working again. So I scheduled another appointment. August 7th rolls around and who do they send? JOHN H! I met him outside the house and all he says in a condescending tone is, "What's wrong with it now?" Flag #3. I tell him what's going on and what the other techs did. He takes the freezer apart to look for a leak. I don't think he knew how to properly work his RLD10 detector because I swear he went through every setting. Maybe it was his detector? Either way, he said he didn't find a leak. Flag #4. He tells me there's no leak so it must be a Motherboard issue. He orders a new one and tries to put the freezer back together. HE CAN'T PUT THE BACK PIECE ON CORRECTLY AND NOW THE FREEZER WON'T CLOSE! On top of that, he snapped a piece off somewhere and it's currently sitting in the freezer where he left it. He then removes the back plate from the back of the freezer and simply leaves it in the refrigerator portion! Flag #5. I called Sears and requested a new technician for the appointment on August 17th. I also opened a complaint on him. On that day I get a call from Sears telling me to reschedule my appointment. Upon rescheduling I find out they were trying to send John H to my house... AGAIN! I request not to send John and reschedule for today, August 20. Flag #6. By now, we have bought a new fridge and my claim the unit is a Lemon (which is covered in the protection plan) was denied. Today, August 20th, I get a text from Sears saying the tech is on his way. I wait for him. He arrives and sits in his car for 15 minutes, probably reading notes. Then drives off. As he passes the window I see that IT IS JOHN H! I called Sears immediately and complained. I apologized to the poor girl on the phone for venting my frustrations onto her. I schedule another appointment and they send Raul. HE FINDS A LEAK IN THE COIL!!! John H said there was no leak but someone else found one. Raul orders the new coil and new UV dryer. The parts finally came and were installed on 9/22. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE JULY 7!!! It has held temperature since 9/22 but I'll give it a week before I consider this case closed. I've had it with Sears and A&E Factory Service. Once this unit is fixed Sears nor A&E Factory Service will ever see our money. The only saving grace has been the warranty because without it, this repair would have been a lost cause.

great job,

Service tech was knowledgeable and efficient. Would certainly use him again.

The technician that diagnosed the problem was competent. The technician that installed the parts was competent. Parts took 20 days to arrive. We chose to buy from Sears instead of a home improvement store because Sears had the best rating on their warranty service contract. The repairs would have cost roughly $750, but because we had a contract, it cost us nothing. The 5 year contract cost $500 on day we bought the refrigerator. We will stick with sears warranty from now and buy at Sears store.

Very professional and thorough.

Took over a month and 4 visits to figure out what I needed. I still haven’t received my refund.

Service was prompt, only problem was that parts not readily available due to pandemic

Our warenty was still on, so we did not have to pay anything. Thank you!

Glad my mower is now running.

When I got the text at 11:32 a.m. that technician was on his way. He arrived at 1:07 p.m. The text should have said he was on his way to lunch. After he arrived he spent about 5 minutes looking at my refrigerator and playing on his phone he said he couldn't replace the seals and basically said buy a new one. Sears Repair: we fix some stuff.
