Watch out for Home Depot "Inspections"

We are selling a house in Indiana and received an "inspection" report from Home Depot.  Even though the paint and carpet are brand new, installed just before it was listed, it states they need to be replaced.   Even though the water heater is only five years old, it states that it has zero remaining life and needs to be replaced.     They even pick on the stainless steel refrigerator bought in 2013, trying to say a larger model is needed.  These are just four items on a long list.   Perhaps this is just one Home Depot in one location, but it could also be a national problem.    

Have you seen any such stuff?

I've never heard of Home Depot doing home inspections, or any home inspector inspecting a refrigerator.
