I don't know how they got the rating they have.. I'm dubious.
Last Monday I called to schedule an appointment to repair a burner on my LG range. Never heard from them after that.
Wednesday came - and I still had not received an email, text, phone call ... hell, smoke signals.. ANYTHING confirming that the appointment was on the books.. So, in order to confirm the appointment was still set, I called to check the status of the appointment.
I was told, "oh, yeah. I see it. The technician should be calling you when they're on the way."
During the 3 hour window, I received a call that he was on the way.
He arrived.. I walked him through what was wrong and turned off the breaker to the oven.. He unscrewed the cooktop, I held the lid up while he looked at the burner, and then asked me to turn the breaker back on. I did and he used his volt meter to check readings on the connections.
There was no voltage change when the burner was on/off.
It was the board...
I was hopeful to schedule the repair..
I asked when it could get done, and he said Saturday, because he's "so busy" .. ok.. great.
I asked, "will I hear from you or get confirmation from the office?"
He replied, "oh, ya.. they'll be in touch"
I hand him the check and he heads out to his car..
I walk into the kitchen and see the screws on the floor..
He didn't even put the screws back.
I ran outside, he saw me coming, and hopped out of his car, "did I leave something?", he asked.
I responded, "you forgot to put the screws back in"
He promptly hustled back in and apologized and left.
Saturday came and went.. not a word from anyone.
Now, Monday, I'm writing this.
Before I called for a repair, I had already replaced the burner myself. I was careful and had taken photos before I started replacing it.
He was able to see the before and after pictures and said it was perfect.
So.. we were confident it was the board.. I was optimistic that it'd get replaced. Everyone I spoke with was pleasant.. but that didn't help get the job done.
So, to conclude, I paid $65 to be told what I already knew, to be in the dark on the arrival time, to remind a technician to return the appliance to the same condition it was when he arrived (screwed in), and to get ghosted..
Good times.
Can anyone recommend an ACTUAL repair company? read more
