We purchased a microwave/oven wall unit from Sears in May.in July, the microwave stopped working. A Sears technician came out to look at it and it happened to be working at that time so nothing was done.in October, the microwave again stopped and a technician came out to look at it (he arrived at 2:30 pm despite having been told that the time slot was 8 am to 12 pm). He could not determine what was wrong, so he decided to order some parts and return in 2 weeks. He did come back in 2 weeks with another technician and said that they were unable to take the unit out of the wall because it was installed incorrectly. So we contacted Sears who sent the installer to look at it. My husband took time off from work on this occasion and he watched the guy take it out very easily. So we again called Sears who suggested that my husband should be at home to show the technician how to take out the unit. Huh? So in the middle of November, a technician comes to the house and is unable to take out the unit (and in fact cuts himself). So I have no working microwave for Thanskgiving because Sears schedules the next appointment for the Friday after Thanksgiving when 2 technicians will be available. Sears calls at 11:30 am to say that the technicians will be at the house a little after 12:00 pm. The next time we hear from Sears is around 4:00 pm when they call to say that they were unable to get a 2nd technician. Really great customer service! So they reschedule for December 12. The technicians arrive and say that the wrong part has been ordered. So they order another part and schedule an appointment for December 22. Given that this situation has continued for such a long time, I asked for the courtesy of being given the first appointment of the day. It has been very frustrating to take off for a morning from work and end up using the whole day because Sears never shows up in the time period stated. I was assured this would be done only to find out an hour ago that this is not the case and in fact they would most probably be getting here in the afternoon. I have had enough of the incompetence and lack of customer sensitivity.in fact I am inclined to believe that they are purposely dragging this out so that the 12 month period would be reached and there will no longer be a warranty. My advice to people out there - DO NOT BUY FROM SEARS. They sell inferior products and then try to frustrate you by not providing service
