fridge sold to me by manager, when I called to tell them it didn't work they refused return/exchange. Bought on 10/3/25, still doesn't work

There's a joke in the Family Guy episode where employees in stores like Lowe's and home improvement hide from customers so that they don't have to help them, this has never been more abundantly true than this location. Employees would avoid eye contact. I would have to practically chase them down to ask a simple question like "where do I pick up my order" and they would just shrug "customer service" and go back to ignoring me, like i knew where that was. when I had to ask again, They just pointed and said "that way" and went back to what they were doing. I had to ask at least two or three people on the way to customer service how to get there. When I got there, nobody really wanted to help me and it took over 15 minutes for them to bring a floor model to the front. I was told I could take the floor model because they were out of stock of the refrigerator I wanted in the back, and the only stipulation was that I would have to have it delivered myself. so we deliver this refrigerator up a flight of stairs to my house and the next morning I plugged it in, did everything the manual said, and turns out it doesn't work. When I called I was told, "we sell those as is, you cannot return it, call whirlpool, and have them deal with it with your warranty." I was not told this was a not returnable, I thought I had 30 days. When the manager discovered they didn't have any models in the back, he said "here's what I'll do for you. I'll let you take this one for 220 bucks. You'll just have to deliver it yourself. I can't offer delivery." He made it sound like he was doing me a favor, and I bought it hook line and sinker. you would think a reputable store like Lowe's wouldn't steal money from customers by selling defective - no, BROKEN products. The air in my house is cooler than inside the refrigerator. When I told them that the only stipulation was that I had to deliver it myself and that was the only thing that I was told. I was not told that Lowe's, again, a supposedly "reputable company" would not accept a return of defective equipment sold to customers, BY A MANAGER, and basically steal my money. the person I spoke to on the phone, who actually did sound like the manager that sold me the fridge said "well I didn't sell it to you", implying it's the mistake of whoever sold it to me. If you would like me to point this manager out, I'd be happy to. I have never been so disgusted by a company like this, and I feel completely robbed by Lowe's corporation, and the employees there that have no integrity whatsoever.

I can't spend a day with my mom without stopping by every Lowe's we pass. We beelined to the garden center, like always. They have a great selection of flowers and plants. The weather was nice so everyone else had the same idea to go to Lowe's. The lines were long and slow--there are only two registers in the garden center. The cashier seemed a little annoyed with the other associate and wasn't too friendly to us or her. The parking lot can be a bit confusing if you're not familiar with it.

Since buying a home in 2013, we've become regulars at Lowe's. I'll say it's our first stop for home needs or when things break. Most of our appliances (fridge, washer/dryer) came from Lowe's even after shopping around. We've also purchased flowers and plants here. We've always gotten good service at Lowe's, and they offer delivery and haul-away of old appliances. Since we don't own a truck, this is huge for us and a big reason why we buy at Lowe's. They also have free wi-fi inside the store, and if you need a truck to bring something home that doesn't have free delivery (like a grill), you can rent the truck onsite for a reasonable price.

Rat nests

Go to a different Lowe's. This one is infested with rats and all complaints have gone unheard. These rat nests have been there for 3 weeks and the smell of rat pee is overwhelming. Plants have rat chew marks all over them. Also this Lowe's doesn't have any viable discount plants while all the other Lowe's have racks of discounted plants that you have a chance to save.

West Ashley Lowe's: Like everyone else, I came during COVID-19 to work on house projects, primarily renovating bathrooms with inexpensive but functional, updated materials (inserts and vanities). Prices were good, but many items were out of stock. It took forever to find associated for help, and we were told that out-of-stock items would take several weeks to arrive to the store. We went with some in-stock items, but inventory was low so we did not get our first pick. It took literal hours for the employees to get things down with fork lifts and load in our trailer. Lowe's remains dog-friendly inside. I noticed that this location in West Ashley has much more product than James Island, and this is also a cleaner location.

My husband is very particular about the size of the ice. The original machine had been discontinued. Max was very professional and attentive in helping is find another machine to meet our needs and coordinate with the design of our other appliances. The installer Jeff was knowledgeable in making the adjustment for the new machine, He and an assistant took care to protect the floor and rug. There was a disconnect in the scheduling, but the company made amends and the work went smoothly. We felt the cost was in line with published prices for the machine. We will continue to call on Signature Appliance Center for future appliance needs, and hope Max is still on staff. Judy B.

Prices are so high for installation and forget if you want to do any work outdoor such as an outdoor kitchen. Without counting the appliances just the stucco along they want at least $600+ per linear foot. For the service they provide, is just not worth the aggravation. there are other companies that will do just a good of a job with out making a killing for their work.

I purchased a used refrigerator from Preferred Appliance a few years ago. They were very pleasant…read morein the store, the appliance looked and works like new and the price was good. They have a huge selection. I will certainly check prices and selection with them before buying new. They had used appliances that appear to be both new and older models. I recently had a repair person come out from this store to repair our ice maker. They were great. He came out the next day, figured out the issue fairly quickly. My husband who is a very good handyman had already spent several hours messing with it before I called for service could not figure it out. The price was in line with other service repair people I have used. I have been very pleased with them.

Paid more and customer service (Taylor) was horrible. 4 irritating phone calls. Salesman took us to appliances and we walked around them noting no dents or defects. Why they do that I have no idea because they came in a box and the dryer had a huge dent across the front. Delivery people took it out of the box and set it in place like we ordered a dented dryer. Did not mention it, like it did not exist. We were leaving on vacation in the morning and had laundry to do before we left since our washer died. They stated one other dryer in store also dented. Solutions - we could send them both back and get a different color - after vacation. Or get different appliances altogether since dryer was on back order. Horrible customer service. While I was in the store I was looking at refrigerators. I will buy that elsewhere and will not feel one bit bad that I will not spend my money at this local family owned business.

The last place I expected to find myself on a Thursday morning was at Plugs Appliances. You see,…read moreour freezer/refrigerator, after 11 wonderful years, died a painful death (taking a fully stocked unit down with it). In the past, we've gone to Lowe's but the appliance repair guy who pulled the plug (pun intended) convinced us to check out this appliance retailer as they stand behind their installations, as well as offering competitive pricing. It's part of the same strip that houses Sesame Burgers and several other small retailers. We were warmly greeted and though the gentleman we were told to ask for was running late, Chip suggested that we look around and that he would answer our questions. The showroom was not large, but, the refrigerator selection appeared to be adequate. Our decision was quick in that a 33", 25 cubic foot fridge, was now considered a special order. We had no time to spare. Chip was able to schedule delivery the next day on a GE with French doors and bottom load freezer the next day. Sold! We received a delivery confirmation that evening and a text message the next morning with a delivery window. Installation was a breeze. Plugs employs their own installers. By noon the next day, I was happily on my way, re-stocking my new fridge and freezer. I was always a big-box shopper but now I'm sold on 'the little guy.' You will be, too. Make Plugs your first stop when shopping for a new home appliance.

I went back to the store asking for help in finding the part, and our salesman, Charles Dean, helped me obtain the part and even showed me that it wasn't as difficult to install it as I had anticipated. In so doing, he saved me the cost of getting a repairman to my home. That kind of service will get me back the store the next time I need an appliance.

A few weeks later my fridge froze over again. Miguel Tellez came back out and said it wasn't the heater or thermistor. He said it was the control board but offered no solution. They also damaged my fridge with their heat gun. I have wasted over $700 on their diagnosis and my fridge is still broken and now damaged due to them. I would recommend using a different company.
