the last time we had a problem with a sears appliance a service tech came to the house. lay a laptop of soe sorts o the kitechen table and then went to work. if we were to get the job done or a new one then they would deduct that cost of the estimate from the new cost. I too just passed up on a warranty replacement for the washer, dryer and refrige. we currently have one of those big 22 foot maytags sold by Sears and I refuse to buy one that big again . if we cannot do with a 14 to 18 then they can get ice cubes or ice blocks. . tighwad me.
