What are the hours and when should I call?

Sanyo operates the call center for this 800-877-5032 phone number Mon-Sun 9am-11pm ET. The short answer is that you should call on a Thursday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 2,402 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Sanyo phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Sanyo staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

The least busy time to call

The least busy day to call Sanyo is Thursday. The most busy day to call is Wednesday. Again, this is based on a sample of 2,402 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold

We measured the shortest hold times to be on Wednesday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Tuesday.

The best time to call Sanyo

In summation, the best day to call Sanyo is Thursday. This is not the day with the shortest wait on hold in the phone system, but we still recommend it for its ideal combination of low call volume and short hold times. Plus we believe that Sanyo staffs the call center well on Thursday.

Calling this Sanyo Customer Number

This phone number no longer works; it was once used to take care of customers who had older television models, but it has since been disconnected. When you dial it, you get an error message saying that your call cannot be completed as dialed, and that you should check the number and try again. I rechecked the number three times, all getting the exact same response.

When I searched Sanyo's website, no mention of this number exists. The only contact number listed was 1-866-212-0436, which remains their main contact number today. Sanyo's website lists no other contact number, only giving customers the option to call that number, e-mail them or conduct a live chat with them.

A deeper search into this number reveals that this was once the number used for customers who had television models dated 2014 or older or those with a model number ending in T. This message comes from an older page on Sanyo's website, suggesting that one of two things happened. Either this number was phased out once the older models fell completely out of favor with Sanyo customers, or the number was eliminated as a casualty of the COVID pandemic.

The COVID possibility exists because Sanyo mentions that it has changed its hours for customers ever since the start of the pandemic. When this number was active prior to the pandemic, customers could call Sanyo from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern with questions, with major holidays excluded. After COVID, this number was apparently eliminated, and Sanyo reduced its hours to 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern, giving customers five hours fewer to call for assistance.

Sanyo's existing contact page does not mention this number, and the company's support page spells out clearly that the company no longer offers any support for these models. When you click on the customer support page on Sanyo's website, it offers a link for T models and older television models. However, clicking it takes you to a page that says Sanyo no longer offers agent assistance for models older than 2014. A customer's only option for service in that situation is to browse the FAQ section for general information about Sanyo televisions.

Obviously, I can't recommend that anyone should use this number to try to get assistance. To its credit, Sanyo has gone to great lengths to try to make this number as hidden as possible and keep potential customers from dialing it. Unless a customer hasn't called Sanyo in several years and only has this older number, it seems unlikely that they might stumble across it.

Use this link to find customer service help through their website
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Sanyo customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
