They advertise that for $1.00 they will answer your appliance questions about a problem on line, or for $37.00 for phone consultation. If you do the on line they charge you for phone also.

Lot of ripoffs out there.

Few years back I had a question. Onlined one of the advertisers. The contact listed his/her credentials and could answer my question for $15-. Problem was my credentials and experience was considerably more than what was cited.

Another problem, researching the real estate/house recently purchased. Advertised price was $4-. Credit card bill was $18.75. Protested the bill had received a credit. Next month same bill, $18.75, asked for a credit again. Called the billing company and insisted they cancel my "contract" . Also had my credit card company issue me a new credit card.

I've had lots of difficulty getting appliance repair. I tried to have sears appliance repair fix a refrigerator ice maker in May. They came out to do the analysis and collected $500 for the parts, but never ordered the parts or returned to fix the unit. After 6 phone calls (two per month) and 3 months, still had no parts. With no resolution, I ended up disputing the charge on the credit card which was found in my favor and credited.

(Ice maker is still broken so I don't have a great solution)
If using an appliance repair company, maybe choose a local independent company.
