text: Slowly but surely, Sear's is on its way out. Sorry to see them go. We stopped shopping at Sear's years ago when we tried to get service on our dishwasher. It was a nightmare talking to people in India, Dominican Republic, etc. They wanted us to jump through hoops trying to repair the appliance on the phone before they would send a service representative.  Then, when the guy finally did get here, he couldn't fix it. It took three service calls to get it running again.
