  May 2022 – Dishwasher was delivered is customer. 

   

  January 17, 2023 – customer reached out and told me that there was an issue and that they were receiving and error message. I followed up to get more information about the error message she was receiving and later that day she sent me a message that said when she tried to run the dishwasher again it started working and would let me know if there were any other issues.

   

  February 15, 2023 – customer reached out and said that they were having an issue again and receiving the same error message. However, they were leaving on vacation for 2 months and would like to schedule a service for mid-April when they return. I followed up that same day with her and got her address so that I could forward all her information to the Fisher & Paykel service person.

   

  April 9, 2023 – customer reached out to let me know that she was on her way home that weekend so that I could let Fisher & Paykel know to schedule her service. I forwarded her information to the service person that Fisher & Paykel gave me. 

   

  April 11, 2023 – I followed up with servicer and I let ***** know that the servicer would be reaching out directly to schedule this with her.

   

  April 17, 2023 – Servicer reached out to let me know that the phone number we had on file for her was incorrect, so I reached out to ***** again to get the correct phone number.

   

  April 18, 2023 – Servicer reached out to let me know that he spoke with them and that they were taking some steps for preventative maintenance prior to him going out because their issue was due to their soap usage.

   

  April 22, 2023 – I reached out to follow up with ***** to make sure the servicer had helped her, and she responded with “Yes, thank-you. He was able to resolve out issue by phone. Unfortunately, today we are back to receiving an error message. We will follow his advice to try to get it back to work. Thanks” 

   

  I did not hear from her at all after that, so I did not realize that she was experiencing any other issues or that the advice of the servicer did not work.

   

  Thanks,

   I am rejecting this response because:
  
  Without prejudice
  

   -Our issue has not been resolved.

  
  -We want a full refund for this machine, a new machine, or a repair to our satisfaction within thirty days along with extending our warranty for another two years.
  
  -The company, Fisher Paykel did not take action, if **** ***** contacted them as we were told.

  
  -We will be filing a suit in ***** claims court unless this is resolved withing the 30 days.

  
  Thank you,
  ***** Ross

  This complaint has been open for two months, however, we have not heard from ***** Ross on this latest concern/response. We responded promptly to BBB on July 13^th with a timeline on the last correspondence from Abbey ***** and ***** Ross. Since then we have not been contacted by ***** Ross.  

   

  After receiving your message here, we have reached out to the appliance repair provider and they will be calling ***** to arrange for a service.

   

  Thank you,
