The claim file

Your Home Depot claim status, translated.

The portal gives you a status word; the status word is written by the side that benefits from your patience. Here is what the common statuses mean in practice, which ones are clocks running in your favor, and the point at which a status stops being information and becomes a stall you should escalate in writing.

The statuses, decoded

StatusWhat it usually meansYour move
Scheduled / appointment setA service company has the job and a date exists.Confirm what the visit is — repair or diagnosis only. A diagnosis visit may not move your lemon count; ask, and log the answer.
Parts ordered / awaiting partsThe repair is real; the part is the wait.Start counting claim age. Your clocks (speed guarantee already settled at scheduling; spoilage; escalation at 30 days) run from the claim date, not the part's promise date.
Under review / pending determinationA decision about repair vs. replacement is being made — often at the lemon line.State your count in writing through the portal: repairs, dates, same issue. Reviews grade what is on the record.
Closed — repairedThey believe a repair completed the claim.If the appliance is not actually fixed, dispute the closure in writing immediately, with the continuing symptom documented. A wrong closure is correctable; a silent one hardens. See claim closed.
Closed — no fault foundA visit found nothing; the claim closed on that visit.That visit likely did not count as a repair. Log your symptom occurrences and escalate with the pattern — see no fault found.
