I have been dealing with Ano Appliance for three (3) months regarding my refrigerator covered by Sears Home Warranty. There is a delay between Sears receiving service request and Ano Appliance making a service appointment. For a return service request, I have to call Sears again and wait for Ano Appliance to call again. Authorizations depend on reports from Ano Appliance to Sears. Everyone is polite on phone but refrigerator still not working. It has been three (3) months. Option #1 is to wait for Sears to get report for most recent service call by Ano Appliance before they will do anything. My only other option is to go buy a new refrigerator and to cancel the Sears contract. As the customer I have no leverage. Sears Home Warranty is handled by a company called Cinch in Florida. Lesson learned: Be wary of paying for any home warranty plan. Most are run by a mainland company. Service is farmed out to some local company you have no say about. read more

This repair vendor, is horrible. They work with a home warranty company. They accepted a claim to repair my fridge, came to my house 4 times to try to repair it, what a waste of time. 4 times I had to run home from work to meet them. And on the 4th time, the repair guy left just saying he couldn't fix it. What a joke! I think this is a foreign run company, terrible! read more

They came through Lowe's protection plan for my washing machine repair. The guy said a new part needs to be replaced. I got a call to confirm the part was ordered. Then, nothing. No updates were given for 2 months. Of course I called Ano appliances to update. But the lady said the part hasn't come. She said she would call me to update but no one called me since. I had to call Lowe's many times to get updates because this company never updates the status. Lowe's support said the part was ordered again and waiting for the part to arrive. How long is enough to get more help when I purchased a protection plan? 2 months without washing machine is really tough in summer with 2 teens. If you get this company from Lowe's, request another one. No one needs to handle this unreliable and irresponsible company. read more

DO NOT USE Ano Appliance Repairman said there was roach infestation on the circuit board. This circuit board is sealed. I've had this board changed before and there were NEVER any roaches. My home is clean. He didn't fix the refrigerator cold water dispenser either. And finally, he wouldn't do anything to fix the ice maker. Repairman said I had to defrost my Samsung refrigerator for 48 hrs with the doors open. That means all my food and frozen food would spoil. DO NOT USE Ano Appliance One more thing, the office ladies, Ann n Judy are really nice repairmen not so read more

NEGATIVE STARS!!!! Unbelievable!!!!! The technician from Ano Appliance spoke no English. Their report to Sears Home Warranty took over a week to be submitted to Sears. They lied on the report that there was a rat's nest in my appliance to void any warranty coverage. I have 3 dogs in the house and they would've alerted me of a rat if there was one. There are no rat droppings or any other signs of a rat. Worst business ever. I'm reporting them to the authorities. read more

Don't use this company. They are awful. I would give them a minus four star if I could The repair man hardly spoke English. I had to ask him what is wrong with my Freezer. He said that I needed a part for my freezer and it will take 5-7 days. The next day someone from ANO called to tell me that they have to order the part and it will take 5-7 days then they will call to schedule another service call. After 10 days I called ANO and spoke to someone who did not speak english very well. She said she will call me back and never did. I called numerous time and got the same person that keeps telling me that the part is on the way. After three weeks of this I called Frigidiare and asked about the progress of my repair and part. They had no record that ANO ordered the part. They tried calling ANO and no answer. They cancelled the work order with ANO and assigned it to TNT appliance. Hopefully, I can write a better review for TNT appliance. Aloha read more

Alex quickly diagnosed the problem with our KitchenAid refrigerator/freezer on 12/6/24 & the fan motor was replaced on 12/24/24. Office staff were timely with their phone calls to set up appointments or to return calls. Decent turnaround time considering it was the Holiday Season. read more

Lousy! 1st time was fine (washer). 2nd time, crappy (same washer, different problem). Doesn't return phone calls, language barrier (the scheduler AND the repair people). Minimal effort on this company's part. Nothing good here. read more

Cinch Home Services and ANO Appliance are the absolute worst. I wish I could give them zero stars. Total scam. Cinch said that they are the same as Sears Appliance Repair, but I later learned that they are actually a 3rd Party that can sell you a home appliance extended service contract. I paid the monthly premiums for 3-months and made a claim for my Kenmore Elite refrigerator/freezer. I received a call from ANO Appliance Repair. They said that they are the service company that will be doing the repair and I had to pay $100 deductible for them to send tech to come to troubleshoot the problem. The tech came in his personal Volvo SUV that had no company name on it. He had a heavy Eastern European accent and said the compressor was bad. I waited a week and did not hear back from ANO. I called them to see what the status of my claim was and a female (with an accent that did not sound local) asked me what her technician told me the problem was. I was surprised that she had to ask me what the technician had said. She said that she had to file the claim with Sears to confirm that it was covered under the extended service contract (why wouldn't it be?). She said she would call me back when it was approved. I waited another 2-weeks with no updates from ANO. I called and she said "I was just about to call you". The claim was approved, but it could take 1 to 2 weeks to get the parts,, or 3 to 4 weeks (huh?) if the parts weren't ready to ship. I called again she said for the 2nd time to get an update that she was just about to call me. 2-months later, still no parts, or updates. I called ANO and get a recording to leave a message. No call returned to this date. I called the repair technicians mobile phone and his number is no longer in service. I had to cancel my credit card to prevent the reoccurring charges. read more

Thank you to all reviewers for alerting me to the scam but unfortunately, I read reviews after Ano Appliance "repairmen" left. In addition to what many have said, after they tinkered for over an hour, both men wanted me to sign work order attesting that I was satisfied with replacement/repair when they didn't fix anything or make a diagnosis. Also, my dryer now has an error message that wasn't there before. I went online to Cinch Home Services (vendor of Sears Home Warranty) and reported my suspicions twice since there is a text limit. Someone from Cinch called 2 days ago to follow up on my comments and I reported everything to them and how Sears is putting customers at risk by not doing any third party risk management and allowing a company like Ano Appliance to serve customers and highly suggested they read Yelp reviews. My claim was made stronger when Cinch rep said that Ano had yet to upload a service report, which many reviewers commented on. I disputed the $100 deductible with my credit card company the next business day after the service date and informed creditor of a potential scam. I made appointment on my own for independent repair man to fix and told Cinch rep that I would drop warranty plan and that I don't care that I didn't consult them about calling because my dryer has been inoperable for several weeks now and I need it fixed ASAP! After a day, Cinch replied and said it will take care of the cost of independent repairman but within Warranty Agreement. If part of Warranty plan, go online and report this scam to vendor and you have consumer rights to dispute deductible charge with your credit card company. I will also report to BBB. read more

After more than 20 days AFTER we paid American home $100 for them to just send a technician out for the repair we still have not heard from Ano's! I have called and left several messages, called and spoke to someone with a (Japanese?) accent several times and they said they would look into it and get back to me which they still have not! My appliance is still not working! Terrible communication and service!!! read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. If you have home insurance ask them to send someone else!!!! The technician put in a false report that we MISUSED and ABUSED our dishwasher door and that is the reason it broke. WTF is wrong with them? They want the $50 service fee and be done with the job! BAD BAD TERRIBLE BUSINESS!!!! They won't even resubmit their report. I have to pay a second $50 for a second opinion. Such Bullshit!!! REPORTING TO BBB read more

Ano Appliance - Maytag, dishwasher lever is broken from normal everyday use - Appliances & Repair Near Me

Disclaimer: **Before calling a technician, I defrosted our fridge and cleaned/vacuumed the vents/coils. These were the directions from the manufacturer that we found in the user's manual. We also called a professional friend who instructed us to do the same. Unprofessional, unapologetic, and unresponsive. Since it was the holiday season I knew I wouldn't get eyes on our claim immediately. To speed things up, I started to eliminate the obvious issues by defrosting it, cleaning all of the visible vents, etc. On their first visit, we were greeted by an unfriendly, non-English-speaking technician. I informed him that I had already defrosted it for 72 hours. He barely glanced at my explanation and continued his "diagnosis" by opening the doors and getting a temperature reading. I assumed he would at least pull the refrigerator out to check the freon levels or for any visible damage, but nothing. After a quick 5-minute look, he told us to de-frost our appliance for another 72 hours and to call back for ANOTHER appointment if it still wasn't functioning properly. So we called in after 72 hours, only to be told by Ano Appliance that the next available appointment would be in early January. Luckily, another technician was able to visit us on Dec. 28 to finally confirm that our fridge needed a new compressor. Since Dec. 28th, we've heard nothing. When we contacted AHS for a status update, we discovered Ano Appliance hadn't submitted any updates about our claim. We've called Ano Appliance over 10 times, to request them to just cancel our claim so we can move on with another company. It's now Jan. 10, 2024, and we still have a broken fridge. read more

I used Ano Appliance from Sears Home Warranty for my LG refrigerator. It wasn't cooling at all and they determined that the compressor needed to be replaced. The service tech wasn't sure if he had any in stock so he was going to have the office call me back later for the repair. Through a series of many phone calls asking for an update (I mostly had to call them for follow ups), I finally got a repair appointment about 5-6 weeks later. Within 2 days after the repair, my refrigerator is cool but not cold and my freezer can't freeze a bottle of water. I've adjusted the temperature settings on my fridge even colder than normal but no change. Since then I've tried to call them back but their phone number fails to connect and I can't get in touch with them. I called Sears Home Warranty and explained my situation as they have switched service providers for me. Fingers crossed on the new one, but definitely would not recommend Ano Appliance. read more

Guy showed up at our house - heavy accent (Russian?) - could barely speak English, demanded that we sign a contract with his company before doing anything. Claimed Sears is "no more". This guy was sent by Sears Home Warranty - with whom we already have a contract. When we questioned this he said sign it or I'm leaving. He called someone on the phone and spoke Russian to them and when we refused he left. His dispatcher called us an said WE told him to leave. The dispatcher then refused to identify himself or his company but my husband managed to see the name ANO. When we demanded the dispatchers name - he said "Dave" and said he didn't need to give us any information. So they can send strangers into our house and do not feel they need to provide any information - at the very least for safety? THESE GUYS ARE SHADY AS ALL HELL. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. DO NOT LET THEM INTO YOUR HOME!!! THEY SOMEHOW HAVE ACCESS TO THE REAL SEARS WARRANTY COMPUTERS AND GET OUT TO THEIR CALLS BEFORE THEM. THEY GET PAID JUST FOR SHOWING UP AND DOING NOTHING! THEY ARE HARMING AND TAKING BUSINESS AWAY FROM OUR LOCAL REPAIRMEN WHO DO AN EXCELLENT JOB. They are flying under the Sears banner but pay attention - the company who sends them out is called Cinch. If you have a warranty with them, close the account, and open up with Sears Home Warranty Protection which direct to Sears. They have always done an excellent job - WITH ALOHA! read more

DO NOT use Ano Appliance. Their customer service is terrible: lack of transparency, poor responsiveness and the inability to to their job. It has been nearly 3 weeks since the Ano Appliance technician diagnosed the problem with and still no resolution! Infact, the customer service agents provided me with inaccurate information, provided incorrect phone numbers on multiple occasions and failed to resolve the issue and complete the repair! After multiple attempts and conversations with Ano Appliance to urge them to complete the repair while stating my case and displeasure with the company, I received a phone call from Ano Appliance Supervisor (Dave). He notified me that he had cancelled my service (I wasted 3 weeks wth this company) and informed me that he had "black listed" me. To top it off, Dave abruptly hung up on me! What unprofessional behavior, ineptness and disrespect! read more

Just like all the reviews on here are absolutely true, this company is horrible. We had to use them though America Home Shield (AHS) for warranty work. We requested support for our dishwasher and refrigerator on July 18th. They took Forever to have someone come out. When they did, they were rude. They never called or emailed me a status of what was wrong. I called AHS, they said waiting on status from the assigned contractor (Ano Appliance). After numerous messages, they finally call me back and state the same thing everyone else on here says. They find a reason "not covered" by the warranty, so not only is our $100 service call a waste, bit now they want to charge us for some BS non- covered work? I don't think so. Calling AHS back to send out another company. You would think with all the complaints, AHS wouldn't use them. read more

Definitely not recommended for service! Their technician came to replace my ice maker for my refrigerator, but caused my water line to stop working in the process. He claimed he could not repair that since he was only there to replace the ice maker. He told me I would need to file another claim with my insurance for him to come out again. Ridiculous...you caused an issue for me, and now it's my problem to fix? read more

Stay away from this company!!! This company is the worst. They were assigned to repair my refrigerator through American Home Shield. The first technician they sent didn't even speak or understood English. Two days later, my refrigerator was leaking water again. They sent a second technician ( "more experienced one"). He claimed he fixed it and left. In less than 2 weeks the problem can back. I contacted AHS again (4/24/23) and until today I never heard back from Ano appliance. They didn't return any of my calls or messages. They stopped answering AHS's calls too. Now they are claiming that they fixed my refrigerator and it was working properly . AHS now has to send a new company (thankfully) to check my refrigerator. Horrible service!!! I wish I could give them less than 1 star. read more

I AM BEING GENEROUS WITH ONE STAR!! Do not do business with ANO Appliance! I am a Sears Home Warranty customer; warranty company is ran by Cinch Services. I filed a claim & paid my $100 deductible for service repair on my washing machine on 8/27; claim was assigned to ANO Appliance & appointment set for 9/2. ANO arrived on 9/2, looked at washer & said it needed major repair. Tech said he needed authorization from Sears/Cinch to determine if repair would be covered by warranty & get approval before proceeding. Office called on 9/3...said they were sending paperwork in; I'd hear back in 48 hours. After "radio silence " I called Cinch customer service on 9/10, explained my problem...they advised that ANO had not sent in any paperwork or status of my service request. I was placed on hold while the CSR tried calling ANO...no answer on their end. CSR rep says she'll continue her efforts to contact ANO...I should hear back in 48 hrs! 9/13...I call Cinch customer service again! Same run around! I should hear back 9/15...I'm not holding my breath! Till today I have empty phone promises and no working washing machine! And this Sears warranty contract (I've had since 2021) costs $56.99 per month with $100 deductible per claim...I DO NOT RECOMMEND anymore! BEWARE OF ANO APPLIANCE...they are NOT HONEST otherwise they'd follow the procedures outlined for them by Sears/Cinch! And DO NOT DO BUSINESS with SEARS/CINCH... read more

I wish there were ZERO stars!! This provider should be put out of business right away. The technician tried to tell the home warranty company that i damaged my washer which voids the warranty!! I take excellent care of my appliances! My washer is quite old as well. Had I taken bad care of it, it would have died a long time ago. What's the deal? Ano is just trying to get paid for doing nothing. Sad. Beware! read more

This company is a scam. Do not let them in your home. They do know have a uniform, not even a t-shirt. They have no company car. They will try to get you to sign a "waiver form" before they start. DO NOT SIGN IT. read more

Ano Appliance - Mario and Luigi coded stock photo on their website but their technicians show up in flip flops and beach clothes. No uniform. - Appliances & Repair Near Me

Was assigned through AHS for a built in microwave. I'm not sure of the technicians name, he spoke very little English. After looking into the guts of the microwave he found a lot of grease had compromised the control unit, but that he did not have a replacement unit so he could not fix the issue. He said he'd submit the paperwork to AHS but they were having a hard time getting a hold of Ano appliance and it took almost 3 weeks to hear back from AHS regarding the claim. They denied our claim saying the they don't cover normal wear and tear or something insane and that we will have to partner with the appliance company to get the microwave fixed which would incur additional costs. I just ordered myself a new control unit and should be here soon, seems simple enough for me to swap out if that truly is the issue. We'll find out! read more

I do not recommend using Ano Appliance for warranty work. They do not return calls nor do they seem to care about following up on warranty work orders, in our case from Lowes. I don't recommend purchasing extended warranty coverage for appliances under $1,000. We just purchased another appliance from Lowes (they provided prompt delivery and installation, just before the New Year). read more

It's really sad how certain people will take advantage of people. The service tech the company sent out to assess the issue with my fridge said he needed to order a part that would take time to arrive from the mainland, no problem. We waited and waited and waited only to find out when we called that someone closed our work order ticket out. WHAT?! Are you kidding me? Then the company ended up saying the issue was not covered by the home insurance policy and argued it was not covered even though it should be. The company was not helpful anytime we called. Then we discovered we could use another company. First off they were very friendly. Second they figured out the issue told us they would submit a work order and will know in the next few days if he could order the parts or submit for a replacement. The same company came for our stove and he said cockroaches were the issue and yet again it wasn't covered by the homeowners policy. Again, NOT TRUE! It's ridiculous that the company even works with Ano. Ano must be raking it in for doing nothing! If you want to waste your money AND your time call them but if not my recommendation is stay AWAY! read more

This company was selected by my American Home Shield plan to address my ice maker repair. Ultimately, they came within the time frame and fixed the matter, so I am satisfied. But customer service was somewhat of an issue as the repair person didn't speak English and required assistance to translate. However, I wasn't provided word-for-word translation, which made communication and my ability to understand what was going on difficult. There also seemed to be cultural differences (local v non-local) that made the interaction peculiar. And perhaps this is common, but he also wasn't prepared with rags/towels to sop up water for the repair. Giving them 3.5 stars. They got the job done as planned, but customer service could use improvement. read more

If I could put no stars I would. They are unreliable, they don't return calls, and I really don't think they know what they are doing. I do not recommend using their services. read more

DO NOT USE ANO APPLIANCE!!! NO WASHER FOR 2 MONTHS!! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM TO MY WORST ENEMY!!! TERRIBLE SERVICE!!! DON'T DESERVE ANY STARS!!! March 9, 2024 - submitted a repair request through Sears Warranty and was told that the service provider, ANO Appliance would contact us to schedule the service. March 11, 2024 - since we didn't hear from ANO we called and Uri (w/a Japanese accent) gave us an appointment for March 18. March 18, 2024 - Serge, repair man from ANO Appliance came. After looking at something on phone and speaking to someone in Czechoslovakian (per Serge), Serge determined that the actuator needed to be changed and that it would take about 2 weeks to get the part. March 25, 2024 - Called ANO to schedule follow-up appointment. April 2, 2024 - Serge changed the actuator and it made matters worse...washer DIDN'T WORK AT ALL!!!! Serge called another technician who recommended that the washer be replaced. Serge said he'll talk with his boss who will need to make the decision. April 15,2024 - after several attempts and voice messages left to speak w/someone at ANO, I was finally able to ask Uri about status of replacement washer decision. She didn't know and would have to ask her boss. I asked to speak w/her boss and was told he was in a meeting. This is the 2nd time I asked to speak w/her boss and was always told he was in a meeting. April 16, 2024 - called Sears Warranty and was told that they would need a report from ANO's technician in order to determine replacement or reimbursement of our washer. April 30, 2024 - Sears Warranty still has not received a report from ANO after several phone and email attempts to contact ANO and we STILL HAVE NO WASHER!!!! read more

We had to use Ano Appliance because that who American Home Warranty contracts with. Our dishwasher would leak while running through the bottom of the door. The soap dispenser released the liquid soap after the drying cycle. Dimitri came out to fix our dishwasher. He was very thorough and took the dishwasher apart. He ran a partial cycle and saw it leaking. He checked the level of the actual dishwasher. He found a ground wire not properly connected, an air flow vent stuck open, and a drain vent clogged. Dimitri had come out before and fixed our ice maker in our refrigerator via AHS. Again, he was thorough on that call out. I would definitely use Ano Appliance again if Dimitri is the technician. read more

Going on 6 weeks without a refrigerator. Referral through Cinch (Sears). We have been given the run around and dishonest. 3 separate visits and 3 separate answers on what is wrong. The last technician said that the refrigerator is not repairable. I have complained to Sears main line. When I told the Ano receptionist, she was incredulous that the tech had said that. Now she says we have to wait for Sears to approve. My husband's medication is in a cooler and no longer can sustain this. Has anyone reported them to Better Business Bureau? I am about to do this next. read more

American Home Shield sent Ano appliance to fix my dryer The tech told me the control board needed replacement. American Home Shield then denied repair saying the tech had said the dispenser was missing!!! I told them there was no dispenser in my dryer, it was not a washing machine. I an still trying to get American Home Shield to cover the repair. The best way to get their attention is to go to the Better Business website in Memphis. It is my belief that American Home Shield is giving preference to repair persons who deny claims. Ano appliance does not show up in a search on the Professional and Vocational Licensing Division website It is not clear why American Home Shield would sent out unlicensed companies read more

Zero stars if possible. Not reliable. I used to them five times through American home shield and they never fixed the problem. I would not use them even if their service was free. The last technician claimed my fridge door was abused and my claim was denied. I had to refute the claim. Look at the pictures the fridge door is far from abused. read more

My experience is very similar to the ones posted. Ano Appliance was referred by Lowe's. After waiting a few days to schedule, a man showed up. He spent over 90 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong (Googling how to troubleshoot my LG washer). When he was finished, he couldn't give me a clear answer of what was wrong with my washer and next steps to get it repaired. All he said was that I needed a new boot and my drain was not working. He said he would put in the request to order the parts, and I would get a call when it arrived. When I followed up with Lowe's 2 days later, Lowe's said my job was marked complete, which meant that my washer was fixed. Ano Appliance did not put in any order for parts. I filed a complaint with Lowe's Customer Care center regarding Ano Appliance. That's not the worst part. 2 days later, my property manager sends me an email stating he noticed construction debris on the stairs of my building. After reviewing the security camera, he saw a person dragging a trash bin and dumping it onto the stair area. My property manager sent pictures and it was the Ano Appliance employee making a mess on property!! I texted the employee and scheduled a time for him to return to clean up his mess. The employee showed up without any supplies, left for 20 minutes to get his supplies, then returned still without supplies to clean. The Ano Appliance employee was rude, did not apologize, and told us that we should be thankful that he came to clean up the mess. WTF??!!! Who does that??! 100% agree with others that this was a complete waste of time. If you are referred to this company by Lowe's, tell them to find you another business to work with. Next time I purchase an appliance, I'm saving my money and not getting the extended warranty. It's not worth it. read more

I never post but the prior reviews are very accurate. I too had this company sent by American Home Shield. Tech came to fix my dryer, changed the thermostat & it worked for one cycle. 48 hours later, tech has not provided notes to his management or AHS and AHS won't send another company to repair. Ano is saying that they ordered additional parts, yet cannot say what parts until they talk to their tech. Not sure exactly how they know what parts to order since they never returned to diagnose nor have the techs notes. Response from Ano are poor & say they'll return your call but don't. read more

Update since ANO Appliance came by my home. AHS determined that there was reason to doubt the technician's opinion (ANO) and agreed that there has been excessive complaints against them and sent DeVera's Appliance repair out to make a final determination instead. Devera's showed up and concluded that there was NO pest infestation and determined that repairs to the fridge was indeed needed. AHS covered the repair in full. So, be warned, do not trust ANO Appliance. I'll do a separate review of DeVera's repair as I do not want to take away from either parties. read more

Zero stars!! Worst service - they don't return messages (email or phone)!! Came to service dishwasher that wasn't working properly; the said the needed to order a part; they collected $100 as a deposit and said and would call to install the part. 2 months goes by without any communication so I tried to follow up but they are totally ghosting me. I am out my $100 and still have an appliance that doesn't work. read more

Never answer your call or respond to any voicemail. Technicians that I had were unprofessional and diagnosed a wrong fault for my washer.

After weeks of waiting Ano appliance finally showed up to fix the ice maker on the refrigerator. Not only did they not fix the ice maker, they broke the refrigerator seal !. Now we do not have a working ice maker or refrigerator. No answer on repeated calls for a follow up repair . I've also had the unfortunate experience of using them for a washing machine repair . The technician was unable to communicate at all in English and refused to fix the washing machine . The only reason this company is in business is they are used by the American Home Shield Home Warranty Service . read more

HORRIBLE COMPANY !! Claim was submitted through Lowes for inoperable washer, technician came out said motor was bad it will take a week for part to come in. I waited 3 weeks called and emailed over 10x NO ANSWER or RESPONDS. Called from a different number and a lady answered she knew exactly who I was before I mentioned my name, she had been scanning calls and purposely not answering. Next day they changed my claim status to complete without ever fixing anything. "Best thing they did" I could finally change service company. New service company called back quick, I told them about the problems that I was having with my washer and he was able to diagnose over phone, next day he came with the parts and fixed in 5 minutes. " Motor was not bad" which ANO appliance stayed " read more
