I ordered this dishwasher back in July, it was delivered in August. With the order, I also paid to have it installed by a Lowes. After the second attempt to install "it was not a standard install we will have to send someone else," I finally had a dishwasher, or so I thought. First wash, water on the floor, cannot use. I called back to Lowes and they scheduled the installers to come back out to look at it, (it's now it's the end of September) the next week (1st week in October) Lowes calls me and informs me the dishwasher is broken, I need to call LG to have it warrantied...
Do not Call LG they are useless!! After several rounds with LG and several, "someone will call you back"... I run out of patience and I called back to Lowes and they leverage their connection to finally get an LG tech out. (I will say during this whole thing the people at Lowes help line have been at least kind).
It is now December 5th. The LG tech comes out and says "Call LG give them this TCC#, they should complete the claim and should send a replacement dishwasher, since this one is cracked and cannot be repaired." I call LG and they tell me the issue is Lowes, as it appears it was damaged and they cannot help.
Back to Lowes help line I go... Well, to the LG side of the Lowes help line I go... Guess what, they cannot find me, even though LG could and they transferred me to Lowes LG support. Lowes LG then transfers me back to Lowes customer support... Now it's near Christmas and all I can get from Lowes is we will reach out to the Renton, WA store and some one will get back to you with in 24 hours. (This is Dec 15th by the way)
Wait for it.... (take your seat this will shock you) Nobody gets back to me... I too was shocked.. I call after Christmas and they again leave a message with the store.. I follow up with an email on12/26 and 12/30...
It is now Jan 6th and after several more calls I finally get an email back. Here's what it said, "LG Tech listed the damage to the tub as "installer/shipping" damage and it is not covered by warranty... I also see notes from the site visit and they said that it was a manufacturing defect. With neither the manufacturer nor the install owning the damage on the unit, I had to escalate this to senior management... They have approved Lowes to replace the unit with the caveat that you will have to purchase new labor for the install of the replacement unit... installation warranty does not cover a reinstallation unless it is due to installer error. I have a saved estimate for you with the same dishwasher at "no cost to you."
So I call back and guess what? A dishwasher, that I paid for, with Lowes install, which never worked due to damage, not cause by me... will now be "no cost to me" (I already paid over $800.00 for it once and it did not work) all I have to do is pay to have it installed... AGAIN (Cause I have and extra 239.00 just laying around). THANK YOU SO MUCH LOWES. What a deal.. I get a dishwasher, that I paid for and I get to pay for another instal. You are the best. I love that for me.
Thank you Lowes and LG for taking care of me. 10 out 10 Pass!! read more
