Patti - I couldn't agree more Patti, I couldn't agree with you more. When we had our home built I bought top of the line appliances from Sears. The GE Profile Convection Double Oven and MayTag Refrigerator are both a piece of junk. The ice maker on the refrigerator never worked properly and after several attempts to repair the service man finally admitted that the problem was an engineering flaw and it would never work. Sears finally agreed to replace the refrigerator but we had to produce the original receipt, which we could not find. That was totally rediculious because they had the whole transaction on-line.
The oven also had an engineering flaw -- the oven vented so that the heat went directly on the control panel causing it to overheat. We had intermittent problems with the oven until out house fire finally "took it out". The electrical outlets on our back porch was on the same circuit as my kitchen lights (go figure) and when the wires on the back porch burned it caused a surge in the panel and totally destroyed the oven. The parts to repair the oven were going to cost almost $900 so in the end we replaced the oven.
Funny thing when Ron and I first married I purchased a used MayTag Washer and Dryer (they were about 15 years old) and used them for another 11 years and moved them from Detroit to Alburquerque to Georgia before they finally died. |
