The Saga of the Sears Hot Water Heater

Im pretty sure that I saw you on america's most wanted for being a child molester. Quit bitching.

I understand. Every retail store is like that now. I just buy online now.

I totally feel you, man.

I had a hot water heater element die on me a year ago. I had to drive an HOUR to go to the nearest parts store to buy a replacement, after spending the better part of my day trying to get "standard" sized elements to fit.

I despise any company that tries to force customer loyalty by "locking them in" to their product lines. Loyalty should be voluntary, not compulsory!

You will notice that Artistmacman is wearing a knit hat, and quite a spiffy one at that, because his Kenmore house furnace of 3 years crapped out on him.

The house furnace is a Bryant, still pumping out the heat after 53 years. (I do keep the thermostat turned down to save energy).

Update on the Kenmore water heater: still working fine, despite being installed by a non-professional (yours truly). Unlike the last time we had one installed by a licensed pro, I did not test the tightness of the gas pipe connections with a lit cigarette;)

Thanks for the compliment about the hat.

53 year old furnace? why don't you get a high efficient furnace so you don't have to keep your t-stat at 60 degrees and wear a knit hat in doors..joe pinch penny.

Your chick impression is CREEPIN ME THE HELL OUT.

due I work for sears it sounds like you dealt with some asshole employees who were either stupid. Right now I work for a kmart store in my home town and believe me after working an eight hour shift your tired of people asking questions and stupid ones. at kmart were supposed to ask you for email addresses and if youd like to apply for a sears credit card and i never do sears is stupid and at work out manager told us to make the customer happy and give them what they want fuck sears

I work in Sears Hardware in Arkansas and it sounds like you got the run around by that particular store. If i sold you your hot water heater, you could have taken it the same day, and had it installed and working in no time. I recommend going back to the store in question and kicking some ass!

Hey Zag . . . ARTISTMAC does have a point there. Whaddaya got??
