Sears Home Service $165 Diagnostic fee Scam! I scheduled an appointment to repair my GE Dryer in Hempstead, NY and explained the issue was the timer needs to be replaced. The Sears representative on the phone that the cost for the visit is $165, however, the charge will be applied towards the cost of the repair not including the part. The service order number is 42284870. On 4/3, the Sears tech showed up and confirmed the issue was the timer but stated the labor cost is always a minimum of $350 to $400 not including the part. The cost of the labor plus the part would then exceed or equal the cost of buying a new one. I explained to the tech that the Sears Customer representative never stated there is a minimum labor cost to repair equal to $350 to $400 not including the part, and if I was informed of this information, I would not have booked the appointment. Sears Home Services should credit the charge of $129.71 since they are withholding information on what the base labor charge is to customers which is critical to making a financial cost effective decision on whether to book an appointment that has a $165 fee. The tech spends less than 5 minutes at your home, before they tell you the excessive base labor charge of $350 to $400. Hence, they are making $165 for less than 5 minutes of work which is a scam if done in the aggregate and multiple homes are done in one day.

Harold was very knowledgeable and… Harold was very knowledgeable and thorough. He diagnosed the ice maker dispenser problem correctly, ordered the right part and his repair was perfect. We are back in business for fixing Mama's drinks!! He made sure the water dispenser was operating correctly as well.

Your service was unbelievable Your service was unbelievable. In quite a short amount of time you were able to diagnose and repaired my appliance! Quite remarkable... again, thank you so much for your services.

Extremely disappointed If I could leave zero stars, I would do so. I scheduled a repair appointment for the afternoon time slot. I took the afternoon off of work. I waited. I waited some more with notifications through text that my technician was two stops away, then one stop away. At 4:51 (the time frame is between 1 and 5) I receive a call that the technician is unavailable and my appointment must be rescheduled. Excuse me? I realize times are different now and workers are getting harder to find, leaving those who are working over-burdened… but you couldn’t notify me sooner? Highly unprofessional, terrible customer service.

I have had the Sears Home Warranty for over 5 years I have had the Sears Home Warranty for 5 years. Some times troubles, but this was during Covid. The Sears Techs were here to help during this time, and since then as well with my appliances. If needing to reschedule, would let me know.. Otherwise, the professional people being scheduled for the work to be done on my dishwasher and refrigerator has been worth the monthly payment. thank you
