What makes it even more irritating is that it’s not particularly realistic in this day and age, with the economy the way it is and with the competition for appliances being so fierce.
I’ve purchased three major appliances in the past couple of years – from impersonal, national chains, no less – and they fell all over each other to undercut prices, provide free delivery and haul away, and so on…
Boy those this sound about right,Bought a refrigerator for my son and he had it 1 yr. compressor went out, he called and was told it would take 3 weeks for a tech to come out and look at it..was told to use ice chest for food. ended up with a junk one til it could be fixed. guess what new part didn’t work either so thank goodness it was replaced at full value.. forgot to add it took another month before they could send someone to put the new part in…I spent a lot of time on phone yelling at then to get it fixed…
Factory screw-ups do happen. About 20 years ago I bought a new refer from a department store. The next morning every thing in the freezer was starting to thaw. Results: The store service man came right out only to find the factory failed to charge the system with Freon.
Don’t fret so . . . just tell him you’re calling the nice lawyer at the television station that gets things done right for consumers. THAT’LL get his rear in gear! NObody likes bad publicity – especially in the current economy!
