This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

On 05-19-06, Ii purchased a Craftsman LT100 riding lawnmower. I used the mower twice w/o incident. On the evening of 06-19-06, my wife awakened me to tell me that there was a problem with the mower... As the mower had been sitting idle on my carport, I had trouble envisioning what sort of problem there could be. She then informed me that it was leaking gasoline and that the fumes were almost overpowering. I immediately decided that the first order of business was to get the mower away from the house and off of the carport... I reached over and put the mower in neutral, and while standing on the LEFT side of the mower, attempted to push it backwards... The bottom edge of the mower deck housing rubbed against my foot about 1 inch above my left ankle, lacerating my foot to the bone... There was blood everywhere instantly... I immediately grabbed a towel and applied pressure to stop the blood loss... I refused to go to the emergency room after once the bleeding was stopped, but I DID go to my regular PCP the next morning for a tetanus shot and 3 stitches... As I see it, there are 2 problems with this mower: a faulty leaking fuel tank, and a ridiculously unsafe, razor-sharp edge in an area where a person is repeatedly required to place their feet.

As a footnote, let me add that the management of this Sears Outlet has been VERY rude, belligerent, uncooperative, and has repeatedly failed to keep their word as to returning phone calls when they promised... They also attempted to replace this mower with one that had been used and damaged.

Sears install water heater under a service protection agreement and continues to leak profusely

Tried all day to get a service appointment but unsuccessful. We want to Sears to honor to service agreement and have a service technician come out and repair the water heater immediately.

This company take’s your money, then when your appliance breaks they give you the run around. Our washer was leaking they sent someone to repair , he tore my machine apart at a cost $668.00 dollars and it’s still leaking a year later !

I called three days ago our 20year hot water tank they are ordering parts seriously.. how long will that take?

I was sent an Air Filter I wish to return. It is in the box.

Your site is not helpful and wants to send me to a computer technician.'I need a Return label to send this back to you.

I have tried three different phone numbers, two do not work.

The box says CPN: AIRCARTON2-rev 2

Scheduled repair 13 October between 8:00 and 5:00. I waited all day and did not receive a cancelation. No repair person showed up. I received an update 3 days later with a rescheduled appointment for 3 weeks later. This is not acceptable. I will cancel my home warranty.

I was told the cost of replacing a motor will only be about $279. But the tech told me it will be $699. What gives? So I am asking that the $120 I paid has to be refunded to me. I would appreciate it. Thank you. Elenita P Ayalin

Warranty coverage - Sears does not fix the issues. Multiple services calls, three times the repair man didn't even show up. Dishwasher still not working. Not even 2 years old. Was told I would get a replacement dishwasher and nothing ever showed up. I will never buy another Sears product.

I bought a refrigerator on 1/10/22 with a 3 yr service contract. Can't get any response from agreement benefits for the last 2 years since my ice maker has broken and now the condenser is going out. The fridge won't hold temperature. Can't get a response from anyone through phone or online even with a claim# 809448.
