Play 5 wifi chip went bad
My warranty expired the end of November 2017. About a week later, my Play 5 was no longer connected to my network. After waiting 3 weeks to get through to customer service, I finally was able to talk with someone. The agent told me that my wifi chip is bad and this will be repaired or replaced at no charge. The follow-up email stated that I will need to pay over $360 to repair my Play 5. I fear having to spend another three weeks to get through to customer service and still not receive a straight answer. Has anyone else experienced this problem with Sonos customer service? Any advice? Thank you.
You need to call. They have been swamped by holidays. Waits aren’t normally to bad. Call them.
I called and was told there would be no charge for the repair. The follow-up email from customer service with the label for shipping the speaker said I need to pay $364. I fear that another call will result in more inconsistent information. The bottom line is that what I've been provided in writing is that I will need to pay for this repair.
If they told you no charge thenwmail may be a mistake. I would call. If you were shortlynoutside warranty I image they will cover all.
I just received a follow-up email from Sonos noting that the replacement should indeed be "in-warranty." I went back into my RMA and indeed it does not that my Play 5 will be replaced at no charge. I appreciate Sonos correcting the original error and doing this rapidly. Thank you
