It wasn't just the 4 unsuccessful repair attempts in the last 2 weeks that got to me, it was the 18 plus months of repeated issues with the machine. I didn't have to provide a case history because Best Buy had their paper trail of service calls.
So, I'm not sure if it was talking to the supervisor of the supervisor (and on up the ladder) that gave me the upper leg or if the numbers just started to add up but basically Best Buy was paying a lot to keep fixing a lemon machine that broke down almost monthly.
The economics must have justified an exchange and they finally delivered it yesterday. Actually they tried to deliver it on Monday but the first one they brought was defective (of course!) so they had to return again on Tuesday. Webb thought the entire process was quite a comedy of errors (welcome to the world of Best Buy appliance customer service :).
