ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – Monica and Lamar Huddleston’s sense of humor is intact, but their patience is shot. Last September, the ice maker on their refrigerator broke. The unit is covered by a master protection agreement with Sears Home Services.“They sent the tech out and, sure enough, he came three times. The fourth time was a no-show,” Monica Huddleston said. “So that’s when we called customer service, argued back and forth, and they said, ‘OK, we’re just going to replace the refrigerator.’ I’m happy. So I thought.”When the delivery crew came with the new fridge – problems.“One guy kind of dropped his end, and it banged against the railing. There’s a nice little dent and scratch in the very front freezer door. Too visible to say, ‘It’s ok, we’ll take it.’” Huddleston said.
