Title: Weber CS....what a joke.
Post by: btomlin on April 21, 2017, 06:21:30 AM
They won't let you order parts without registering your grill and then they can't find their serial number and corresponding model in their system???  Yikes.....people wanting to spend money with you and you won't let them because of a computer.  Sad.


Anyone know where I can get:

1.  Igniter for a 2000 weber SPP
2.  Bale rollers for a 2000 weber SPP
3.  Enclosed Ash Catcher Assembly for weber performer silver
4. The metal rod that connects the fold down shelf for a weber performer silver

There are definitely some CS reps that are useless w/o a serial number.  Don't be afraid to ask for another CS rep who is more proficient with their system. Usually get better CS reps in the evening hours.

I look up part numbers on
http://www.ereplacementparts.com/weber-parts-c-193079.html
then call Weber to order by part number.  Weber is cheaper than ereplacement + $7.00 flat shipping rate.

My bad...put the wrong part down...60024  is what you would want.  schematics are here.

Actually on second look, be sure you include 60025, if you need that too.

Yep....that's what I was trying to do.  I have the part # but "we can't make sure the parts are correct if we don't have a model". I tried to explain I would take the risk but to no avail.

Maybe I will try again later. ::)

That's the million dollar question.

I gave the serial # on my SSP and the serial # on a performer silver and was told that the serial numbers didn't jive with any models.  ...as I'm looking at the models with the serial #s.

I stand corrected.

I just made another call and got the assistance I needed.  That was soooooo easy.  Maybe Weber needs to do a little training to get all their staff up to speed.

Apply. I'm sure they have spots available.

Perhaps I've been fortunate, but my experience and that of my friends has been very positive.  Basically the conversations have gone like this; Me... Hi, my bowl has rusted on one side.   Weber... Ok, we'll send you a new one.

My experiences have been similar to Darko's. I talked to Weber CS last night. I had bought a new set of stainless steel grates for my mother in law's Silver B. I put them in and realized that the cookbox was bowed about a half an inch. I explained how my new stainless steel grates fit to the CS rep. He looked the serial number up from it and told me he would be shipping a new one out on Monday. I was on the phone with him about 5 minutes.
Thank you Weber.

Like I stated, I stand corrected.  I placed my order yesterday and the parts were at my door today.  I guess I shouldn't have jumped on here so negatively after my 1st call.

+1 for calling Weber CS late at night.  I think that by then the new hires and managers have gone home for the day.  Only the seasoned sages remain.
