Tom and his trainee did a great job working on our refrigerator. They were careful with our flooring so as not to scratch it. They checked everything out for possible problems. Went over ways to make sure we get the best functionality out of our refrigerator in the future with tips on best airflow, settings for crispers, etc. They fixed the issue and explained what needed to be done on our end, to finish it up, and what to expect once we did. Assured us that they would be back out if it wasn’t back working correctly after following through with those instructions. Highly recommend having Sears and Tom work on your appliances. Very professional and kind!
