Appliance Installers Refuse Follow-Up Fix After Botched Installation
A customer's dishwasher installation was completed incorrectly, with the water line placed in front of the electrical line instead of behind it, preventing a cabinet drawer from closing; the installers have since refused to return and correct the error. The dispute has dragged on for over a month with no resolution path offered by the retailer. This illustrates a broader gap in accountability and follow-up enforcement for home-installation services.
