December 2020 - Placed a call to Sears Protection Agreement for repair of my Samsung refrigerator as it was not cooling properly and my food was spoiling. Jan 14 2021 - Repair technician came to my house for service call. He said Samsung refrigerators don't generally need the dust blown out from the back but he will do this to see if it fixes the problem. He said if it doesn't fix it to call in and make another appointment. It did not fix the problem. By this time the freezer had now quit working. I made another appointment. February 17, 2021 was next available service appointment. I was not happy with this long wait time as I had no refrigerator or freezer now. February 17 came and the repair technician did not show up nor did he call I called and complained. They apologized and said they would offer me a $115 courtesy check for my inconvenience. I could go out and buy me a small beverage refrigerator to hold me over till mine was repaired. February 27 2021 was the next available service appointment. The technician came out and checked out the freezer. He made a diagnosis and called in for parts. Before he left I asked if the parts he ordered would fix the refrigerator also and he said, "I hope so." March 1 2021. I called and complained about the time it was taking to fix my refrigerator.

I rented a refrigerator on March 1 2021 March 8 2021. The service technician came out and fixed the freezer. I asked him before he left, is my refrigerator fixed too? His reply again was.

She said she fixed the problem and I should have my refund in 7-14 days. April 30 2021. I called the Protection Agreement department again about my refund this time I was told my claim was denied because they gave me a $115.00 check in February and that is all I am eligible to receive; they can't give me two checks. I expressed my dissatisfaction stating the was a courtesy check for all the headaches the Sears service department has caused me. The person I spoke to on March 1st told me I would receive reimbursement for the rental of my refrigerator. She was looking at my file so she surely could see I received the $115 in February. If she made a mistake, don't penalize me for it. She told me I would receive reimbursement and I expect reimbursement.
