    I purchased a new refrigerator on 05-29-2023. I chose the Hisense brand for its 2 year warranty. On 12-16-2024 I contacted Hisense warranty department to report that the refrigerator was not functioning at all. They informed me that they had to order parts and then send a technician out with the parts. After a week passed, the technician came and within 2 minutes said that the compressor was defective and the parts he had did not include a replacement compressor. Now another week has passed and I still have no idea of how long it will be or if they can repair it. I tried to get them to replace it but they insist on repairing it.

    I bought a refrigerator on 4/27/24 from ****** it was a top refrigerator, bottom freezer. On 12/29/24 we noticed the fridge part wasn't cooling. I called Hisense the manufacturer of the fridge since it was less than a year old and it would fall under the manufacturer warranty. I tried what the automated system said to do on the phone but it still wasn't cooling. I had to wait until the next day to speak to a live agent they said a part was order. This is without a technician looking at the problem and I had to wait 3-5 business days for that to be delivered I would get a call from a technician. Time pass I didn't hear from anyone so I called Hisense again this time they said the order was there but it had not been placed again had to wait another 7 business days before someone contacted us. A technician comes to my home and then another shows up as well they work on the fridge and tell my husband that in a couple hours it should be cool. They leave. My husband called me to say it still wasn't cooling. I called the technician company and they said according to his notes I had to wait 24 hours but that was not said to us. Called back 20 hours later and told the technician company it didn't take a genius to know the fridge wasn't cooling. They were going to reach out to the manufacturer. I also called on 1/14, 1/17, 1/21 & 1/23. The technician company finally called me on Friday 1/24. They came to my home with the same part did whatever he did and the Fridge still doesn't work. At this point all I want is for Hisense to replace this fridge since the technician can't seem to fix it. I have been without my new fridge for a month now. And no one replacing the food I had to throw away ??. These companies are a joke and what they put the consumer through to honor a warranty. Please help I'm desperate. I have attached my hand written notes as well.

    I bought my 87 year old mother a ******* 43 inch TV. That TV failed and was still under warranty sobHisense replaced the TV with what was supposed to be a brand new TV. Well the replacement TV has failed in less than 2years. Now Hisense is saying there is nothing they can do because the warranty of the original TV has expired. So the replacement TV which is obviously a refurbished TV has no warranty has failed. No picture m, no sound but powers on. I have called Hisense customer multiple times and they say the TV is out of warranty because the original TV is out of warranty. If the replacement TV was brand new then a warranty should have been issued and started for the new replacement TV. The TV is a lemon and Hisense is absolutely horrible in telling me that there is nothing they can do; warranty has expired. This is an example of absolutely poor customer service and I need something to be done about the failure of not 1 43 inch ******* TVs for retired senior citizen whose retirement years consist of her watching favorite TV programs on her TV all day log. Now what? No TV again? ********** failed again with no help from Hisense in replacing the TV with a non lemon model which is not refurbished.Hisense needs to be held accountable for 2 bad TVs in such a short period of time. Hisense has refused to do anything about this issue which is why I reached out BBB for assistance. Hisense has all of the information on file regarding the original TV which failed and the replacement TV which has also failed.

    Good evening,

    Hisense USA acknowledges the customers concerns regarding the exchange unit and sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience caused. While we understand your frustration, we must affirm that our decision regarding your warranty claim is final.

    Upon reviewing the customers case ********, it has been confirmed that the initial ******* unit, which was exchanged, was covered under a 1-year warranty. At the customers request, this unit was replaced with a new 43C350KU model. According to our policy, replacement units or parts continue the original units warranty period or are covered for 90 days, whichever is longer. This exchange occurred in 2022, meaning both the original unit (purchased in July 2021) and the replacement unit are now 2-3 years out of warranty.

    We adhere to our warranty terms, which are clearly outlined at the time of purchase and within our warranty documentation. We regret that this outcome does not meet your expectations, but we must uphold our position on this matter. We value our customers and strive to provide a fair and transparent warranty process.

    Best Regards,

    Hisense Support

    the 2 *******s in this nightmare are lemons. Why did your original and the replacement TV not last more than 5 years combined? The issue is not  the warranty so stop hiding behind your warranty. The issue is defective unreliable,TVs twice. I had a ********** for 13 years.  The ******* never failed; I gave it away. Why didnt  your 2 ******* TVs last for 13 years? The first TV failed after 2 years. The replacement TV failed  in less than 2 years. Why? Please explain!
    There are many consumer complaints about your TVs  not just mine. Why do you continue to release disposable TVs to hardworking consumers like myself?

    This is NOT an occasional electronics issue and a poor answer. With all of these complaints about your bad TVs it is more than an occasional electronics issue. You have defective poorly built TVs that clearly have major failures and you are not will to admit it nor do anything about it.Your The bottom line is that your lemon TV went bad within a short period of time (not a quality item like my ******* which lasted over 13 years and never stopped working) You replaced the TV under warranty then your warranty replacement TV stopped working within a short period of time also. So 2 bad ******* TVs in less than 5 years. Are you proud of your product and proud of how you treat your customers around the world. I have attached complaints posted on website. They are all complaining just like I am about your TVs  being bad.

    Why are your TVs bad and what are you going to do snout it? The warranty replacement TV going bad in less than 2 years is unacceptable and a scam. It probably was not a new TV. Probably refurbished and failed. You owe us a credit so we can go buy a ***********

    Date of Purchase: 12/20/2024 purchase total: $939.97 We purchased a brand-new Hisense refrigerator in the box from Lowes ****************************************. The unit was delivered to our AEP building at *************** 12/23/2024 and installed by the tech who delivered. Our office then closed for the holiday, and we returned to office 12/26/2024 and the refrigerator was WARM, but the freezer was COLD. We then went to ***** to ask for an exchange, and we were advised no returns after 48hours we would need to contact a 3rd party to have the unit serviced. We called the 3rd party and filed a claim (incident # H3579407). We were given trouble shooting guidance that didn't work. 1/8/2025 - we sent an email directly to Hisense customer support with a copy of the receipt per their request. On 1/11/2025 we received an email from Hisense telling us to call customer support to again trouble shoot the issue with one of their techs via a phone call. Unit still not working. On 1/13/2025 we got a second email requesting information from us and we sent all info requested. 1/15/2025 we called them directly to get an update on when service would be out, and we were advised the manufactures warranty was VOID bc we placed it in a business and to many people have access to it. We have asked the issue to be escalated bc that is NOT fair as we purchased a brand-new unit in the box that hasn't worked since install. As of today, we still have no resolution.

    Good afternoon,

    Thank you for reaching out regarding your experience with your Hisense refrigerator. We appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns and provide clarity regarding your case. Our records indicate that your Hisense refrigerator was placed in a business location, as noted in your complaint and supporting documentation. Per Section G of the Terms and Conditions outlined in the warranty documentation provided with your purchase, products used in rental, business, or commercial properties are outside the scope of the manufacturer's warranty. This exclusion is in place because appliances used in such environments are subject to conditions that differ significantly from residential use. While we understand your frustration, the terms of the warranty were established to ensure clarity and consistency for all customers. Unfortunately, because the unit was installed in a business setting, the warranty coverage does not apply in this case. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. Should you require further assistance or documentation of the warranty terms, please let us know, and we will be happy to provide the relevant materials.

    Best Regards, 

    Hisense Support

    I purchased this television on July 12th from Best Buy with a 1 year warranty through the manufacturer. Within the first weeks of using this television, I began to experience backlighting issues. The backlight of the television would turn itself on intermittently, with the unit turned off. This would occur throughout every day. I called Hisense and spoke to a representative. Upon sending them pictures as requested of the backlight turned on with the television off and the receipt of the purchase - they also concluded that the television was defective and offered to send a technician to repair the unit. A technician came out 2 weeks later, which caused for me to have to take time off from work to facilitate and to unmount the television - which I feels is burdensome to me as the consumer in the warranty process. The technician replaced both the motherboard and the main power circuit board. The problem persisted within 1 hour after repair. I called Hisense on the following Monday, and provided them with this update. During this call, it was proposed that they will send another technician out to replace another component of the television, to which I did not agree to. I stated to this representative that as the consumer, I am no longer interested in having to go through this process again, especially for a product I spent ***** dollars on. I stated to this representative that I feel slighted by this process, and as the consumer, I would like a refund. My claim was escalated and was told to expect a call within 24 hours. I did not receive a call within 24 hours, and I called back 48 hours later. During this call, I was told that the only resolution was to resend a technician to make another repair. I stated that I was not interested in this process and that it should have taken place during the last repair and that I would like my money refunded, which I was denied. I feel slighted by this process and entitled to a complete refund of my purchase of this product.

    Hisense USA regrets the inconvenience this has caused. After reviewing the initial case, it was escalated to management, who advised that one more service attempt is required before proceeding with an exchange or refund. A new case has been created for a service call to replace additional parts. Once a service provider is assigned, they will contact you to confirm a convenient date and time.

    We apologize for the inconvenience but stand by our warranty terms and aim to service this unit properly before deeming it unrepairable.

    I am rejecting this response because: I absolutely will not accept this as a resolution. There is a class action lawsuit against your company that involves the model and exact issue that I have. I will be compensated for my losses through that litigation. I have lost 6 hours of wages due to the first visit from your technician, and will not be taking anymore time off from my employment to facilitate another visit. As I stated - the SUFFICIENT REPAIR should have TAKEN PLACE DURING THE FIRST VISIT. The only resolution that I am willing to accept is a full refund of this factory defective unit that was sold to me under the pretense as a functioning television. I will continue to explore every avenue available to me until I receive a refund. It is only a matter of time before your company will be forced to compensate the countless number of consumers you have mislead and knowingly sold defective products to.

    Purchased Hisense refrigerator 02-14-24. After several months, the ice maker quit working and a ***air tech was sent out. Hisense sent me a letter saying the unit could not be ***aired informing me I should request an "**". On December 20, 2024, I sent all documents requested via 3 certified mailings to: ***** ****/CEO, **** ***********/************************** (these two went to ******** Ferry Rd location), and the **************** Manager at **************. All letters were delivered and signed for by January 06, 2025. On January 08, 2025, I spoke with the customer service department. The *** (not going to out the *** by name unless necessary) could not clearly explain to me the ** process saying, first, I should wait 3-10 business days for "someone to contact me" (from Hisense), then said the "issue was escalated" and then said that "someone would contact me within 24 business hours (from ******)." The *** said they "checked the attachments" and "released the hold." None of this made sense to me so I asked the *** to explain but they simply regurgitated what was previously stated. The *** was condescending and rude when pressed by me to re-explain (said "As I told you before" with annoyance). I needed to know how the ** process works, simply that, wanted to be able to follow-up and get this into my calendar. The end result is I am just floundering here being told that I will be contacted within either "3-10 business days" by Hisense or, maybe I will get lucky "within 24 hours" and will be contacted by ******. This company clearly does not have a handle on providing actual "customer service." I am profoundly disappointed by Hisense. Additionally, all phone numbers (5) I have are circular back to this same customer service department. For anyone interested, I can provide further details. There is not space here to detail everything.I spent almost $1900 with this company. I will persevere with this issue but cannot recommend them to anyone else at this time.

Please provide them with your RA number and ask to speak with their RTM Clerk, a Manager, or someone in their receiving department for further assistance.

    We deeply regret any inconvenience this situation has caused and appreciate your patience in this matter. If you have additional questions or need further assistance, please dont hesitate to reach out at ************.

    In November 2023, I purchase a Hisense freezer at ******. On October 2, 2024, I contacted ****** to inform them the my freezer (still under warranty) was no longer freezing. After a week, a service person was dispatched to my home. Before the tech came, I took pictures of some of the salvaged foods to see if my home insurance would reimburse the food loss.The service tech told me he was going to order the part and notify me when the part came in and to leave the door open until evening to allow the condenser to defrost and to close it in the evening. Later that evening the freezer began freezing again. I bought more food. When the part came in tech schedule a time for the repair. Between the time of the scheduling the freezer went out again. I didn't call Hisense again because the service call was two days out. Two days later, the tech didn't show. When I asked why, he said he thought they were going to replace my freezer because he was told not to service my freezer (even though he had the part). When I checked the status on Hisense incident status, it read "cancel due customer being unresponsive". I don't know how a schedule service call made me "unresponsive" especially since I took off work to meet him. More food loss.I receive a replacement on Nov. 6, 2024. I reached out to Hisense on more than one occasion regarding being reimbursed for food loss. I was told they don't reimburse. When I pressed the issue, I was told I would have to submit receipts and photos. I complied and was told again they don't reimburse for food loss. I questioned why I was asked to submit photos and receipts if they didn't reimburse. They continued to tell me they were escalating it for review. I would like to be reimbursed for my food loss.

    Good evening,

    Hisense USA regrets the inconvenience experienced during the recent service call. We apologize for any frustration caused. After reviewing the case notes, we understand the customers frustration with the request for images. Unfortunately, despite the escalation of the case and images, the requested food reimbursement was denied as it is not covered under our manufacturers warranty.

    If an extended warranty was purchased with the retailer, we recommend reaching out to them for assistance. We appreciate your understanding and value your continued trust in Hisense USA.

    I am rejecting this response because an explanation of why the receipts and photos were requested for "consideration" as well as an option provided to upload them when it not a part of Hisense's warranty.

    I didn't purchase an extended warranty from ****** nor did they ask for documentation to be considered. Hisense asked for documentation and I complied.

    An apology and denial of reimbursement is not a acceptable resolution given it took over a month and a $500 food loss when you could/should have simply replaced my $600 freezer within the week of the first service call instead scheduling a service call, having a part ordered and delivered and later cancelling the service call without notice. This is a customer service failure on so many levels. It is ridiculous.

    I hope you will strive for a more satisfactory resolution than the provided response.

    Your food reimbursement request was reviewed by management, but we must adhere to our warranty terms and will not provide reimbursements. We regret that this outcome does not meet your expectations, but we must maintain our position. We value our customers and strive for a fair and transparent warranty process.

    Thank you for allowing us to address your concerns.

    I am rejecting this response because:

    You noted "failed service attempt". There was no attempt on my end as I had scheduled service and taken off from work with an expectation of the unit being service. The "failure" was 100% Hisense's failure in making a decision to not service the unit without informing me and leaving me without a place to safely freeze and store my purchased food items. 

    Additionally, your BBB responses continue to suggest that Hisense is adhering to the warranty, but each time I ask the very specific question about why documentation was requested, I have yet to get the answer other than Hisense "reviewed" my document and made a determination to deny my request. 

    What was the purpose of the "review" if from the beginning it was presented as a request for food loss reimbursement?

    Each time I contacted Hisense, I was very clear on the reasons ( reimbursement) I was contacting the company. I'm unclear on why Hisense needed documentation to review an " food loss reimbursement" issue and while asserting reimbursement is outside the warranty, yet requested information as of the option would be considered.

    I am still not satisfied. Please answer the very specific question that was asked.

    Sincerely,

    ******* ******

    I'd purchased a hisense 32" ******* from Best buy only to discover that the backlight is malfunctioning Best buy provided me with a replacement only to discover that this tv is having issues by not able to set-up the tv with software updates.

Been waiting for a half hour to speak with someone. Poor customer service Including 32" tv products are defective. After two separate tvs being brand new aledgelly are defective

    Good evening,

    Hisense USA apologizes for the inconvenience this is causing the customer. Upon reviewing the warranty claim system, we do see the customer is having an issue with a 003 error code. That is a **** software error which can be solved by troubleshooting with Roku support which is why the Hisense team directed the customer there.

    If troubleshooting with Roku was unsuccessful, we recommend reaching back out to Hisense support at ************ to set up a warranty claim for a repair.
