Meanwhile no hot water at all

I think *sears should of had the parts overnighted, and since they
have been unable to fix it they should offer a refund on the tank.
maybe 50% but perhaps more.

what do all of you think? I beleve no hot water for over a week is
unacceptable.....

and this occured in pittsburgh far from the new york disaster...

Hi,
I always used Sears for convenience, not the price. They come in three
levels of tanks, best being 10 year free replacement one. Never had
problem with their service. If they live in smaller town, don't think
they carry full line of parts locally. I live in a city where their
regional parts depot is. Never had an issue with parts requirement.
Any how, there are not many parts on a water heater. What's the matter?
Can't they rob the needed parts from their inventlry of tanks? Not
having hot water is a bummer.- Hide quoted text -

It would seem very unlikely that whoever Sears has doing repairs
has access to Sears inventory of new water heaters. It's not the
local plumbing supply. And good thing too. Would you want to
buy a new water heater from Sears knowing that some tech took
it apart to remove a part and give it to someone else, later hopefully
putting it back together again correctly with a new part?
