Hints from Heloise - Tracking appliances sent for repair

By Hklbrries

Dear Heloise: Please remind everyone that when you take an appliance to be repaired, you should make sure you record the serial number first. I took my very expensive vacuum cleaner to a manufacturer-authorized repair facility and got the wrong one back. I can’t prove that it’s not mine, because I did not have the serial number written down, and the repairman did not record the serial number of the machine on the repair bill. Lesson learned.

Thanks for sharing your story, and I’m sorry to hear about your vacuum! This is an important hint, though, for all — record the serial number, take a picture or mark an appliance in a way that ensures you get the right one returned to you. I say grab the red nail polish!
