We had our clothes Washer go out and rather than replace just the washer, we decided to see if we could just get a refurbished set (Washer & Dryer) so that they would still match. My wife went into a few places to see what was available, she finally came across a set from "Appliances Plus More" that she liked and we purchased it same day beings they could deliver that same evening. The guys came out and installed it fairly quick and hauled the old washer away as well as gave us $97 for the working dryer (I know I could have sold for more, but it was just easier); we paid $1,200.00 out the door.
It came with a 30 day warranty and of course 3 weeks in, we noticed our Master Bedroom walk-in closet had super wet carpet and padding all of a sudden, we've lived here for almost 2 years and never had that occur. So we started trying to figure out if there was leak in the wall or what...come to find out a part inside the washer internals was spewing water all down the back of washer and soaking under the based boards slowly enough to not flood the laundry room (which is tile), but yet warped all our baseboards and did a bunch of water damage to the wall and carpet as well as a few of out items in the closet at the time.
We called to let them know we had an issue and they said it's probably the hose connections, and told us we needed to pull it out and check all the fittings, because they wouldn't come out if it was not a problem with the washer itself (Keep in mind they were the ones that installed everything and removed the old ones, so even a loose hose should have been on them); but my wife and I pulled out the washer & dryer to look and sure enough it was in the washer not a hose connection on the outside. We called back and scheduled an appointment for warranty service. We were told we had to have our receipt to prove it was under 30 days (why wouldn't they have that info???...unless it is a scam-y way of getting out of their warranty for those of us that might have lost it in the last month since purchase). Luckily we did still have our receipt being my wife is organized. After a few days of trying to get them to come out (one time we had to reschedule), they came out about 6 days after washer failed (no clean clothes..) they showed up and found the issue right away (a part inside the washer failed and was spurting water all over). They said they had the part and replaced it, while finishing up my wife asked the owner (I am pretty sure), what they were going to be able to do about the damage it caused to our house and he said "oh, yeah we don't do that - it's like an 'Act of God' thing, not our responsibility".
We are super disappointed with this response, because it was their "failed" appliance that caused the damage, not an Earthquake!!! In any industry if you provide a product that then damages or injures someone or someone's property with regular use and especially within a 30 day warranty period, you are liable for the damages...how is this not their fault??!!!!
I will be asking my Home Owners insurance to go after them for at least our deductible to be paid by them, even tho it will still go on my insurance and likely result in higher rates later. If my Insurance company is unable to pursue it; then my next step will be small claims court, because this is ridiculous behavior in my opinion.
Sad thing is had they showed more compassion and offered to send a guy of their choosing to do the work, I would have been fine with it, even if it was not a professional construction company, (may have costed them a few hundred dollars), but now I will be suing for the highest bid I can find as well as ask for any damages we can claim (stress, mental anguish, etc). I will update either way once it is worked out.
Thank you Nathan, Hailey and Eric from APPLIANCE PLUS MORE! You guys are the Best!!! Great local family owned and operated business!
We recently purchased a washer and dryer here and we are very pleased with the team at APPLIANCE PLUS MORE! Eric always answered all of our questions over the phone in the most honest and professional way. His kind approach made us feel happy we could support a great family business in the local area. What was cool was, We were able to trade our old washer and dryer for credit towards a gently used washer and dryer that would work perfectly for our needs at a hard to beat price. Nathan recommend the best option for us and assured us that they would take care if anything were to happen to it since they offer a 30 day warranty. We were pleased to make the deal! Once we set the washer and dryer up at our home, off we went, catching up on all the loads of laundry that had been piling up. A few days into it we noticed our dryer wasn’t drying the clothes anymore. We called APPLIANCE PLUS MORE and they arranged to come out that same day to take a look and figure out what was happening. We really appreciate Nathan and Hailey for coming over and solving the problem swiftly with their years of experience and knowledge about Appliances.
It’s great to watch a father and daughter team work so well together! Truly inspiring! Now we are back in action and have caught up with all the laundry that had piled up. Thank you guys for solving the issue! We appreciate it!
We are glad to be your customers and we highly recommend Nathan, Hailey and Eric for your...
Read moreWe bought a kitchenaid French door refrigerator from them in December, 2020. We paid $2000.00 for said refrigerator with delivery, and set-up. Two or three months later we noticed the freezer wasn't working well, items not "frozen" we couldn't keep ice cream in that freezer etc. I called to see if someone could come out and look at it because it had also stopped making ice. The owner came out put his temperature gun in the fridge and freezer, said all the temperatures were normal and "he can't fix something that isn't broken". I was not happy about the answer,however, I wasn't going to argue with him either. He did not charge a service fee. I ended up buying a counter ice maker because it still never made ice like it should. It would drop maybe a tray or two a day. On top of that I couldn't put hardly anything in the freezer or it wouldn't keep items frozen. Recently, it started making a loud clanky noise when it would run. We had an appliance guy come out and look at it and he informed us the motor was going out. We did not call this business due to the prior experience. We ended up going to a local appliance store, purchasing a new refrigerator for $200 more than what we paid for the one we bought in December and they hauled that piece of junk away. I would not recommend this business. They make you feel like you are being unreasonable in expecting how the appliance you paid decent money for used doesn't work exactly how it it should. Just be aware, more than not you can buy new for a bit more money and avoid...
