American Appliance Service Inc ((703) 915-9261 or (703) 986-3889) provided the service technician for our home warranty call earlier in June. (Our home warranty contract is with American Home Shield) Our Bosch dishwasher was running extra-long (4 hours+), cycling from one minute left back to 30/70 minutes and then finishing, the water temperature seemed to not be as hot as usual, and some of the dishes were not clean well. First, according to our home warranty service company, American Appliance Service Inc would call and schedule an appointment for us. They did not, I had to call them as a matter of fact (left a voicemail and follow-up on a Tuesday). Then according to the home warranty company, they had indicated that they tried to call me - again, no such thing happened, no voicemail was left for me nor did I have miss call from them. Second, when the technician came out it took all but about a few minutes for him to diagnose the issue and said he adjusted the water hose. It was fixed he declared. I ran the dishwasher at a short cycle (32 minutes) while he was completing the service ticket. He reassured me that it was that and it should be fine now. The dishwasher didn't complete in 32 minutes and ran past 60 minutes so I called the technician. He was dismissive of my callback (mind you he was there about an hour ago).
I called the home warranty service company to open a recall ticket. Days later, there were no call from the American Appliance Service Inc as it was indicated on the recall ticket, so I had to call the home warranty company again. Apparently, it was relayed that American Appliance Service Inc tried to call - again no such thing happened. I was re-assured that (3rd time calling) American Appliance Service Inc had ordered a new part and that we would be called to setup a time for them to come out.
As of today, after the most recent call to our home warranty company, come to find out that American Appliance Service Inc reported that they had come to my house a second time and no replacement part was ordered. Once again, we have no idea why this is the case. After sorting things out with the home warranty company (that in itself is an issue), I am expecting another service call from American Appliance Service Inc soon.
Based on the experience and understanding how things are being communicated, I would NOT recommend American Appliance Service Inc. Period. They either are incompetent, have poor customer service, or running a scam in providing technical support for home warranty service call where they are a third party. Unfortunately, we feel it's all of the previous. read more
