On the first service call, Brad unplugged and plugged the fridge back in, and checked that the compressor was again running. He said the fridge was blowing cold air once again and that the fridge just needed to be reset. The cost was $80.
Unfortunately, it actually wasn't blowing cold air and remained warm all day and night. When my husband came home from work at midnight, he unplugged it so the warm air wouldn't blow any longer on the food remaining in the fridge -- we already had two coolers filled with our food and had to leave the rest in the fridge.
Brad returned in the evening the next day and was immediately and visibly annoyed that the fridge was unplugged, repeating over and over and over again that all his customers leave their appliances plugged in. He kept repeating "you have to leave your appliances plugged in,. It's the only way we're going to know what's wrong. We thought you left the fridge plugged in" -- literally over and over and over again. Each time, I explained we unplugged it because it was running warm air, and we didn't want that blowing on the food that remained in the fridge. That might as well have gone in one ear and out the other because he just kept repeating himself.
He said he'd still try a couple of things and in the meantime, my husband called to speak with him as he knew more about what he had tried and wanted to share it with him. I let them speak and afterwards, I said that I hoped my husband gave him further insight as he knew more than I did. He uttered some things that he thought might be the problem but continued to seem annoyed. I let him be and sat down in the living room with my daughter. My husband then asked me via text to ask him if he used a thermometer yesterday to check the temperature of the fri/freezer. I did just that -- simply asked him if he used a thermometer to check the temperature -- and that is when this man started going beyond annoyed to angry in a very unsettling way. He was saying he tried to save us money, and then instantly said, "you know what?! I think the problem is the board and the compressor and we will just quote you for that, and it's a very expensive fix! A very expensive fix! And we don't mind doing it for you!" But his words didn't match his angry demeanor. It was starting to sound aggressive and was an alarming change. And then out of nowhere he said,
"You know what?! We don't want your business. Never call us again. I don't 'expect' disrespect." He was having a meltdown because I asked him if he used a thermometer to check the temperature of the fridge/freezer. I noticed in his reply to my first review that he also lied outright, saying I complained about him and his company. Not sure what realm of reality he resides in but not once did I even mention his company let alone complaim about them, nor did I once complain about him. I simply asked a question. His reaction wasn't only inappropriate, it was downright crazy.
He wouldn't stop hammering away at me and that's when I told him he needed to leave as I was feeling harassed in my own home and was growing increasingly more uncomfortable. But even after repeatedly telling him to leave he would not stop speaking. He even took out his phone while also saying he needed to put his tools away. I told him to please stop using his phone and just leave. I had to leave to the back room and call my husband, placing him on speaker. I could hear the man continue to mumble. My husband told him to leave. He said he had to place tape on the wires to prevent a fire. My husband again said to leave everything and go. Eventually, thank God, he left, leaving our door wide open behind him.
A horrible experience. read more
