I'll never shop at Pacific Kitchen as well as Best Buy, again. I purchased a stove, washer & dryer in September 2019. Upon turning the stove on, gas would fill the entire house, and we would have to open windows and doors to ventilate it. We thought it might lessen as we used it but it didn't, so we called LG and they sent a technician in, about 7 months from the date of purchase. LG sent a part, so that when the technician arrived, they could fix what they thought might be the problem.
The technician arrived and checked out what was happening. The pilot light was taking almost 20 seconds to turn on, after the oven and the gas was turned on. This was causing large amounts of gas to leak out into the house. He went to install the part and noticed it wasn't the right part, as this model stove was manufactured in June 2015, 4 years prior to the date of purchase. He was very surprised. He said he'd have to order a different part to fit this older model and that he'd be back in a few days. He came back in a few days and fixed the problem.
While I'm grateful LG fixed the problem, I am still let down that Pacific Kitchen sold me a 4 year old stove, as new. Had I known it was 4 years old, I would not have purchased it. I'm surprised they had a stove, or any product for that matter, that was 4 years old.
These things happen, and it's a bummer when the customer purchases something thinking it's new, only to find out, it is not. I don't think the sales person knew it was 4 years old, and I don't think anyone was trying to deceive us, however the fact is, we were deceived because we thought we were buying a new stove. When the customer and the company that sold product learns that the item is that old, I think it's only fair that the customer get what they thought they were purchasing.
I asked for a replacement stove, but the manager, John, said there was nothing he could do. I asked if I could speak to someone above him and he said no, but that he would talk to corporate. He called back a few days later and said there's nothing they can do.
I don't think this is good business and there's plenty of places to purchase appliances. I'll take my business elsewhere. read more
