My aircompressor burned up on me when it was 13 months old maybe 10 hours of operation on it just out of warranty sears said nothing we could do this was 6 years ago i still had the compressor in my shed so i turned it in no word yet on if they are going to fix it
Any provision for an exchange?
My 15 gallon, 3.5hp compressor is too big for today’s application.
no exchange but sears fixed it for me it took a little longer than they said but that was ok with me as long as they took care of it My confidence is back with sears doing the right thing
