Ms. Lilly Andrews
5891 Highmore Road
Bakersfield, CA 02838
Customer Service Department:
I recently purchased a Delco washer and dryer set, Farmington refrigerator, Glitter Shine dishwasher, and McManus
microwave from your store. Though the first three items were installed fine and function perfectly, I have experienced
recurring difficulties with the latter one.
Two service calls have failed to locate the root of the problems. After each servicing, the unit would work just fine, but
within a few days would begin to act up again. The most annoying aspect is that, after I select a function, the machine
independently changes it to another one while in operation. I am willing to endure one more service visit and any
afternoon during this month will be fine for that But, should this situation continue, I will expect the unit to be
exchanged. I have used the company's products for many years with no cause for complaint, and so will accept an
identical replacement. Thank you
Lilly Andrews

Jensen Appliance Center
781 Sycamore Lane
Dear Ms. Andrews:
I appreciate your patience regarding this matter. I looked at last month's service reports, and they indicate that
the repair personnel believe that the product developed problems after being used. Nonetheless, I have
scheduled our most capable technician, John Kendall, for a last visit to your home on the 21st at 3:00. The
warranty on this product stipulates that you are entitled to exchange the product within one year of the original

purchase date. So, should it be determined that either the manufacturing or shipping of the item led to these
problems, we will certainly honor your warranty. Our representative will have a unit on hand should it be
necessary to install a new one, along with a warranty to be dated from that time.
Thank you.


Edward Jensen
