I purchased a brand-new Speed Queen gas dryer from Riegelmann’s Appliance. After it was professionally installed, it did not heat or work properly.
I called Riegelmann’s immediately, but despite the dryer being brand new, they couldn’t send anyone out for two days.
When their technician finally arrived, he confirmed there was a problem but told me it wouldn’t be taken care of until the following week.
This was going into a holiday weekend and the start of the school year with children at home.
I called the store to ask what they could do to help.
After I explained the situation, I was met with silence and told they would call me back Monday so we could “figure it out.”
There was no urgency, compassion, or concern that they had sold me a brand\-new appliance that didn’t work.
I ultimately went to the store later that day and returned the broken dryer.
Only then did I receive an apology.
A defective appliance can happen.
What earned this one-star review was how the situation was handled. When someone purchases a brand-new appliance, they should not be left without a working unit for an extended holiday weekend and treated as though the inconvenience is simply their problem.
