SPOKANE, WISCONSIN -- Purchased a Maytag washer at Lowe's 9 month ago. It was sitting in the aisle with a sale tag on it. It has been repaired 3 times already. Yesterday it is the transmission (on a 9 month old machine?). Lowe's will not do anything because it was either returned or liquidation. How is the public know this when shopping. I was not told at the time of purchase. Now I am stuck with this machine and manufacturer warranty will be over with soon. I guess I could take it to the dump and buy a different brand and be out the cost, but I thought Lowe's or Maytag should know about this machine. When talking to Lowe's I felt like they just really wanted to tell me (OH WELL! SEE YA).

EDWARDSVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA -- I purchased a refrigerator from Lowe's 5 years ago. It was banged up so I returned it. I got another from Lowe's and it wouldn't cool. I returned it! I purchased a 3rd (all within a weeks) and bought an extended warranty. I got it home (still have it - but not for long). It clanged, banged and made all kinds of strange noises. I called the warranty company and was told flat out that if it was running, they would not come out!!!

It does not have an ice maker, but for months now it has been leaking water on my floor. I've had a repairman out twice and he can't figure out where the water is coming from. It has rusted the cabinet on the floor next to the fridge. I will NEVER purchase another appliance from Lowe's again!!!

Frigidaire Gallery Refrigerator

HAWTHORNE, CALIFORNIA -- Paid cash 1,741.82 for a frigidaire gallery refrigerator on 11/28/16. Ice maker doesn't work. Lowe's says it's not their problem we had to deal with frigidaire directly. Frigidaire is now coming out a second time for the same problem. I have had way cheaper refrigerators & never had one issue so I did not purchase warranty with Lowe's.

My refrigerator is 3 months old & not only did I need to be home a 4 hour period for delivery now for a second time I need to be here from 8-12 on a Friday. I really feel Lowe's or frigidaire should be giving me a new refrigerator. To me 1,741.82 is a lot of $ for a crappy refrigerator. I will not purchase another thing from Lowe's ever again & I'm redoing the kitchen & master. Stay out of Lowe's.

Over six weeks to fix refrigerator under Lowe's warranty

HENDERSONVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA -- Our Samsung refrigerator stopped cooling over six weeks ago. Despite a Lowes' warranty, it still has not been fixed despite three visits from the repairman, and we have lost hundreds of dollars worth of food. When I first called for warranty service it took five days to get someone to come out and look at it. He ordered parts which came in about two and a half weeks later. When the repairman returned he said the freezer had broken and unplugged the entire refrigerator which had until that time been providing minimal cooling. He ordered parts for the freezer and returned about two and a half weeks later.

When he arrived he said that the company had sent the wrong control panel so he still couldn't fix it. I just called Lowe's and said that I wanted to return the refrigerator because it has been useless for over six weeks and the warranty has been useless. They said I can't return it because parts have been ordered to fix it.

Horrible Service, Indifferent Attitude, Quickly Becoming a Second Rate Outfit.

NATIONAL, NORTH CAROLINA -- On 7/11/16 a few days after our country celebrated the Fourth of July we ordered a new refrigerator from your company. It was an Internet sale and the order number was **. The product is a 20.5-cu ft Top-Freezer Refrigerator (White) Item #: 618281 Model #: WRT311FZDW. Cost with tax of 641.37.

The delivery date was to be two weeks later on July 25. A few days prior to that date your company called and told us that they still didn't have the product from their warehouse and that it would be a few more days until they could deliver and they would contact us before arriving with a more accurate delivery date. Another ten days later, on August 4th, without informing us ahead of time, or contacting us in any manner, your delivery truck showed up at our home. We were out of town and wouldn't be back home until two days later. They did leave a note expressing the reason.

When we contacted your customer service department we were told that "The delivery crew then unpacked the refrigerator at our home and found that it was 'damaged'." So they decided to return it to the store. That makes perfect sense, but why in the world a delivery crew would take it upon themselves to uncreate a wooden box on our driveway without contacting us or without our presence.

I truly find this explanation questionable at best. But not to worry, a new one was on order, they just didn't know when it would be available. All this time, the product remained on your internet website as available for immediate pick up at your store in Sylva, NC. But it gets ever more disappointing.

I called Lowe's customer service, asking why this entire issue was becoming such a disaster. It was then that I was informed that the real problem was because Whirlpool had reduced their inventory stock levels due to the economic conditions. Orders were down and sales were slow.

Last week, we were contacted by Darcy, one of your customer service employees representing your Sylva location. She called and informed us that a black refrigerator was available if we wanted that one. We ordered a white one, why would we want a black one!

Today, Darcy again called and told us that our refrigerator would now be delivered on August 30th. "Why so late" we asked, she responded that the reason was because this model was so popular and sales so strong that the factory has a hard time keeping it in stock! She did offer us a $200 discount to cushion the experience and disservice. With all due respect, I know BS when I hear it. (Incidentally, the store website was visited today and it reflects that this item will be available for store pick up or delivery on August 22nd.) Apparently the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing.

It becomes even more disappointing. After writing a letter to your executive office, addressed to Ricky Damron we were contacted by a lady whose name is Vallen? She attempted to get us a refrigerator but it was delayed further by product delivery issues. She did call me several times in an attempt to rectify the situation and promised to recontact me by Wednesday, August 24th. I asked about an adjustment at this time, and she stated that we would discuss that AFTER the product was delivered.

On August 26th she sent me an email saying that she could not reach me by telephone and included an incorrect phone number in her email. This after calling me several times on the correct number. She simply had one digit wrong. It might be worthwhile for someone to review our telephone conversation. This took place on the 25th of August at approximately 3:35 eastern standard time. In any event, she then offered a reimbursement of $120.00.
That's when We decided that we are done with Lowe's. I asked her to pick up the refrigerator and credit our account. She promised to call me back on Monday August 29th with a date for our return.

In closing, it's completely understandable why Bloomberg is reporting the disappointment in your latest company earnings report. Such a poor indifferent attitude is reprehensible. We have literally purchased tens of thousands of dollars of product from Lowe's over the years. But will not be doing anything near that in the future.

Dishonest About Online Rebates

MT. DORA, FLORIDA -- I bought Whirlpool washer/dryer and 2 employees told me that I would receive $250 rebates back after purchase. I went online and submitted for rebate. I was mailed $100 back. I called Lowe's and the response I got was "Sorry, I guess the salesman was wrong." Now I am out $150.00 because Lowe's doesn't train their employees or they just LIE to customers to make a sale. NEVER AGAIN!!! I spend thousands of dollars at Lowe's and now I will make the extra 10 minute drive to Home Depot for my personal and business needs. Buyer beware!!!

Lowe's Never Stops Disappointing

SARASOTA, ALASKA -- I know most people won't believe this, but it is a true story. We, unfortunately, bought a refrigerator at Lowe's on Fruitville road. The fridge has been nothing but trouble. The latest: unwanted formation of icicles in the freezer. Since the unit is under warranty, a technician, one more time, was sent to look at the problem. 2 solutions were offered to us: remove some trim pieces in the freezer section and, get ready for this, put some caulk instead!!! And, it is not all, and then, use some kind of goo and apply it around the freezer section so the seal will "stick" better. But no worries, the goo is transparent...

Talked to Service Advantage, then a sometimes manager, sometimes assistant manager Brian, The Only Brian in the Fruitville store, who said I should be thankful for caulk and goo. If I was unwilling to have the unit "fixed" like it should be, then I should call the manufacturer.

When ask if he would like to have a new refrigerator with caulk and goo, The Only Brian in the Fruitville store said if it is what it takes, then yes, he would have no problem with that. Same answer form Christine at Service Advantage: I don't see the big deal with caulk and goo. It is obvious, Lowe's DO NOT STAND BEHIND THE PRODUCTS THEY SELL. And the employees, all level: THEY DO NOT CARE. Do yourself a favor, don't shop there...

$1500 Stove Quit Working in Less Than a Month

FRANKLIN, NORTH CAROLINA -- I bought a $1,500 stainless steel Whirlpool gas convection range at Lowe's at the end of July. Less than a month later the oven quit working and would only display the message "Fan speed too low, contact service". That was over 2 months ago. Both Lowe's and Whirlpool have been spectacularly incompetent since. Each has blamed the other for the problem. It took a month for them to get a repairman out to our house and then he said he couldn't fix it and walked out, explaining that he would call us in a couple days. That was 3 weeks ago... Never did hear back from him.

I've been to my local Lowe's where the Appliances manager tried to get in touch with the repairman with no success. After weeks like this, the Appliances manager told me that if I hadn't gotten help by today, they would just issue a gift card for my purchase price and I could buy a new one of my choice. You guessed it. When I called the number he gave me to get the gift card, they refused. While they acknowledged on a recorded line that I'd been promised the gift card, they claimed that the Lowe's employee who made that promise was not authorized to do so and they would not help me other than to say that Whirlpool would have to fix it.
