well I have an exciting update to our fridge dilemma, they have called just now to say they are bringing our new fridge tomorrow between 4-8pm YEH much faster them the original 7-10 days. I am quite pleased that the end of this is so close. Thanks so much for letting me vent my frustrations...........I do so much appreciate it
299557Take heart Lorayle, it is that time of the year, I don't think they like the over powering hot days. What happened to the fridge will last you twenty years, maybe I am showing my age. Glad you have had a good result. hugs
11814Oh my, that is not good. Hope the new one will be much better/Lillian

I am just praying it will come when they say that it will. Thanks Lillian ~hugs~
145789I cannot believe you have had such bad luck. This just should not happen to such a wonderful person. Hugs Sarah.
253107I am so sorry for your nightmare renovation and your honey is very sweet to bring you azaleas. Now if the contractor and the appliance company and anyone else who has caused you stress during this renovation also would send you a beautiful plant then that would likely cure those hives and give you the best garden in your area for all the stress you have had to put up with! Hopefully this will be over with shortly and you can enjoy the completed job with no further problems.

234253Sorry to hear about your troubles, we had similar happen as you said the smartest buy was the extended warranty we get it for all the major appliances.. we also keep a spare fridge in the garage for just such an emergency and holidays when all the kids are here

we sold ours when we bought the new one & now we are wondering why................because I want my car in there & there is only room for one lol, thanks Marian ~hugs~
45917Good Luck and hope your new refrigerator works perfect. Those extended warranty's are a good purchase when buying big (costly) appliances.

we are so very glad that we bought it. It covers everything from the removal & the new hookup since we have the ice maker & the water dispenser. I am glad of that as well if hubs is @ work I would not have a clue. ~thanks Juanita ~hugs~
26316I was always told not to buy extended warranty's, but I think your lemon is a good example that it did pay off. If the frig goes you loose all the frozen items which could be big bucks. Yes, I have had this happen and is exactly why I have a back up refrigerator in my garage. I use it year around and consider it a God sent . Kay

we have been compensated twice now for the loss if food. Fortunately the freezer is still working separate control panel. It was the control panel for the fridge top so it freezes up the elements so the fridge will not get cold. Thanks Kay I just hope that it is here like they have said 7days
85867Wow! Hang in there, all will be fine and some day it will not be so upsetting to you.
173580Oh dear i would hate that to and likely get the hives to :(:(Hope it is a dream come true hugs

well after this nightmare & it comes when they say then it may become a dream come true lol ~hugs~
360402Get it in writing that this warranty begins now and not retroactively. You've really had it with this whole project.

your right of course & we have asked about that since it is a new fridge if the warranty begins when the new one arrives & they are checking. ~thanks ~hugs~
66506Had that happen to me too. Pain during the holidays when all that extra food is in there. Sorry for you aggravation... Suzanne

It is even just the everyday like milk butter & eggs. we can not have much in the little school fridge except that so we are thankful for it even if it is small. ~hugs & thanks~
111092I certainly hope your new fridge arrives soon and causes you no problems.
I also had a problem with my fridge at one time which ended up in a funny story.
We had had a posting in Sydney and bought a new fridge while there, we then returned to a small country town in Queensland and the repair man was 18 miles away. The fridge started up a periodical high pitched whistling and naturally it didn't do it when he arrived. He came several times and it checked out fine. Finally I rang again and time his wife answered the phone and before I could speak she said "Are you the lady with the Whistling fridge?" I said Yes and she said "He will be there as soon as possible." and hung up. He arrived about 45 minutes later and naturally it had stopped by then, but as I let him in he said "Put the kettle on and make a cuppa, I have strict instructions to stay here until it starts and to fix it. My wife says she could hear it through the phone and she would not be able to live with it," He sat in the kitchen for about 2 hours, found a pinhole in a pipe a couple of minutes after the whistle started and fixed it and it never whistled again.
Cheers, Bev.

oh that is wonderful! Just goes to show the true power of women sticking together! I love this story! I bet you would have become great friends too!

we are dealing with the company lol we do our best to go to the top whenever we can. First thing we do is ask for their supervisor nothing worse then repeating the same story over & over again lol.
313860I can sympathize with you. I was without one for a month just before Easter. Gave them an ultimatum on Easter Saturday that if they didn't come and get it I was setting it curbside for the trash collection. Told me I couldn't do that...long story short I purchased one from a different company had it the next day and did set the one out for the trash collection. Even though it was Easter Sat. They were out to pick it up. Bless your heart, what next?

well I did mention that I would go to every social media site I was a participant of if we didn't get this resolved & the next day they called to tell us we are getting a brand new one. So here I am but I have not mentioned the brand & will not mention it unless they bale on us. It was a bold move but I was not sure what else I could do.............

Sometimes a nudge in the right direction is just the impetus they need to do the right thing. I'm proud of you and your taking a stand. Good Luck! Companies usually expect people to roll over and not do anything. hugs
