Good luck.

we bought a fridge/freezer set similar to subzero @ sears a few years ago.. about a month after we bought it, we came home to a warm refridgerator after our annual anniversary weekend away... called sears they came out & fixed it
it died again after another month.. i told them i wanted a new one.. got the same answer... have to prove it is defective... hey.. broke down 2 times in 2 months... proof enough for me... we have the extended warrenty, and couldn't get the check for the food we lost either...
every time i tried to call, you couldn't get thru the voice mail... i finally got thru the voice mail to a real person.. i told them they either needed to replace the fidge, and send me the ck for the lost food, OR i would make it my business to be in thier appliance dept every sat speaking to their potential customers..until they did..
they finally replaced the fridge & sent the ck... but i wouldn't take a sear appliance now if someone gave it to me... and i tell everyone i know the same thing...
companies just don't understand how many people an individual can reach if they are really unhappy about a product or service...

I agree with ktbb. Several years ago I bought a new Kenmore. After several repairs due to broken needles each time I used it (it had a brent shaft that I told them about) I had been sewing for over 20 yrs so felt I did know something about the machines. They would return it in the same condition each time. Finally I found the Pres. Of the stores name and address and fired off a letter to him. Several days later the service truck pulled up once again. I said I had not called them and they said they had a delivery of a new machine in the truck.. I said I had not ordered one. They took out my letter and asked if it was mine. After ten shades of red I said yes and he said it was my machine then. Wow! all it takes is contacting the right person. Several weeks later the neighbor had problems with a new washing machine (same story) I gave her the info on who to contact. She threatened to take a load of dirty diapers to the store and wash them there. She received a new washing machine shortly. No further problems with the store for either of us. I still shop there
