WARNING!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!
I would give 0 stars if I could or negative. I will try to summarize my awful experience spanning from November 2024 to February 2025.
From November - January, I had 3 service appointments for the same issue for my 2.5 year old Beko Washer (machine stopped mid-cycle, usually before the water drained). The technician did not listen to my concern and went solely on the error message he saw on the machine. He insisted the error message was correct and after 2 months, parts ordered and 3 appointments, I was told the resolution was to pay $900 for a new motherboard. What a waste of time and being that long without a washer was obviously a huge inconvenience, but they didn't care! I was furious that the tech did not listen to my concerns and after the last appointment said, well your machine will work on the 20 minute cycle, so you can at least do laundry because the machine filled with water. That was never the problem and of course, the machine stopped mid-cycle (after it filled with water) on the 20 minute cycle and so NO, I could not do laundry.
In January, I purchased a new machine. Since my machines were stackable, I was forced to buy the same machine, again. This time I got the extended warranty and I opted for an open box unit to save $500 since this was all costing me a lot. It arrived damaged (soap drawer was stuck) and I was told it would need to be serviced. Appliance Hospital was the only service provider I could use, so reluctantly I set up an appointment. The tech came and got the soap drawer unstuck, but then the drawer would not go back in flush and one of the trays looked like someone took a bite out of it. I called Appliance Hospital back and stated I was not happy with the repair, and asked them for a new soap drawer. They ordered one and came back out this week. When the tech arrived, he did not have the drawer, nor was he told one was ordered for me. He said, no problem we can order you one and you can put it in yourself - and showed me how to put the drawer in. He insisted I did not need a tech for the appointment. When I called Appliance Hospital expressing my frustrations, they said, this repair is "cosmetic" and the repair was not under warranty. They also said if they send me the soap drawer and I put it in myself, it would null the warranty. The tech also put that in his notes, which was opposite what he told me when standing in my house. Why in the world would they have scheduled my appointment and sent a tech out if the repair was not under warranty? Again, what a waste of time! Where was the breakdown in communication that they would waste their tech's time and mine to send someone out when it was not under warranty?
I have also had numerous scheduling problems, including getting my time slot changed the day before at 5pm (on the dot) via notification by an automated phone call. The company closes at 5pm, so I could not call them. This company is also only open M-F and won't provide services after 3:00pm, so as a teacher, it made it SO inconvenient to schedule or have someone at my home to supervise the repair.
Another problem with Appliance Hospital is that the people answering the phones are so rude and DO NOT WANT TO HELP. They must be trained to say the same rote statements and just piss off customers. I couldn't believe how rude and incompetent all of them were (except for the person who took my payment for the first set of washer repairs, of course). The amount of misinformation was astronomical. I was promised appointments after 3pm, on a Saturday, rescheduled appointments within the same week, none of which happened. Spare yourself a headache and AVOID THIS COMPANY.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY IF YOU CAN AVOID IT. I'm about to return the machine to the company where I purchased it from, get rid of my perfectly good dryer and purchase a different set of units that will not require the use of Appliance Hospital (they are the only ones to work on Beko machines in all of Seattle). read more
