      Description: The consumer hired The Waterworks to install a dishwasher in Sept. 2021. The water was starting to settle in the bottom of the appliance and it was discovered that the new hose belonging to the new dishwasher was not used. The installer used the old hose. She called The Waterworks to have them come and fix the issue, but they want to charge her a fee. She doesn't think she should have to pay for this because they did not use the correct hose when installing dishwasher correctly.

      An attempt to set up a service for a Waterworks technician to go out to her home has been canceled and rescheduled three times by the customer; June 16, June 17, and now rescheduled to June 21. Please know every attempt has been made to resolve this issue with the customer. If the customer cancels again, we will reevaluate our position based on the time our staff has invested in resolving this customer’s claim.

      Thank You,
