I see from others' reviews that I am not alone in my frustration with this store. And yet, something tells me the management doesn't care. All we can do is keep posting about our bad experiences to warn others what to expect.
Our Samsung fridge's ice machine was our primary concern when we called, but we also have an oven door that locks on its own most of the time.
When I called to set an appointment for repair, I *explicitly* told the scheduler that we have TWO appliances with issues: please send someone who can look at both. He agreed.
We set an appointment for four days from then, with a window of 12:00 noon to 8:00 p.m.! I asked if someone would call before that day to narrow down the arrival time. I was assured yes.
No one ever called. By 4:30 p.m. on the scheduled day of repair, I called to ask what time the technician would be arriving...obviously, my husband and I took turns staying home *the whole day* waiting for this person to show. The person I spoke to then said "I see that the appointment was scheduled, but *no one was assigned to take it!* Unbelievable.
After 30 minutes with her, I asked to speak to a manager. I was transferred and spent 40 minutes on hold. No one ever picked up. I left my name and number with the agent I spoke to, asking for the manager to call me. I never heard from ANYONE, still to this day.
We rescheduled the service appointment for the following week...another 7 days with no ice maker. (It had been leaking all over the kitchen floor, so we turned off the water entirely while we waited.) I made sure to say that we also had an oven door that needed to be looked at. I was assured this would happen.
Finally, the technician arrived - even early for the appointment! - He was very knowledgeable and was able to repair the ice machine problem. He told us that the service ticket only listed the fridge, not the oven, but he was kind enough to take a few minutes to look at it. He diagnosed the issue, but said our Total Tech membership wouldn't cover the cost of the part or labor to fix it. It might just be time to get a new stove. Lovely.
So, almost two weeks after I called for help, more than two hours on the phone with two different representatives who either didn't listen, didn't care, or were incompetent, and a day of waiting at home for a No-Show, we finally have 50% satisfaction for our appliance problems - AND it looks like we will be buying a new stove. NOT from Best Buy, I assure you! read more
