I have bought the IFB wshing machine in 2006. The machine is good, but the after sales service is very poor. The service provider (R K International Ashoknagar, Chennai)is Not giving proper service to the customers. If you make a call to the agent they simply said that sir we dont have spares stock.You have cry to get the service from them.

I have bought an IFB Digital 5.5 kg washing machine on 28th march 2009. Till date, I have registered almost 4-5 tickets for excessive vibration during spin dry. Unfortunately the technician has come to look at the problem and has not been able to solve it. As a lastditch option I have been advised to buy Anti-skid rubber pads ( sold by the franchisee offcourse) to prevent the machine from shiftng due to excessive vibration, but the root cause has not been solved to date. This morning the machine was vibration and two screws came off from the unit and the ring around the machine broke into pieces.
I am sorry to say that in the past twenty days, since I bought this machine, it has been down almost every alternate day and with no visible sign of repairs, I have to revert back to my old faithfull Videocon semi-automatic machine, for which I did not have to replace a single screw in the last 10 years.

Tkt no 3269196 dt.18.07.2009 lodged with your customer care for my IFB washing machine model Executive Plus which was under AMC.After 9 days the complaint was attended, unfortunately till date the problem has not been resolved.We have lodged 2 complaints through your website and numerous telephonic reminders to your branch office at Lucknow(Mr.Anil 39004321) and Miss Nidhi 9451060879.

It is deeply regretted that the services of your company at Lucknow has reached such low levels.This is at a time when every company is trying to beat competition by excelling in customer services.

Perhaps, you are not realizing how dependant an individual is on such an important gadget like the washing machine.

Please look into the same and relieve me of my problem.

Thanks,

Ian Healy

Complaint no.71067 dt.28.07.09 lodged with your customer care cell as your office(Ms Nidhi) is ignoring our repeated requests for renewal of AMC of my washing machine.

In case your company does not want to renew my washing machine, please be forthright and inform me, so that I do not have to repeatedly write on this website and to your headoffice/local office.

Also I would appreciate an acknowledgement to my various complaints.

The IFB Service Centre at Hyderabad, one M.A.Associates is indifferent and manned by a bunch of well dressed plumbers who pretend to be engineers. not one of them can speak English properly or have the brains to respon d to the easiest of situations. We bought an IFB Dish washer and have received very bad and indifferent service thus far. I suggest that no consumer waste their time investing in an IFB Machine. This British company is as stupid and disfunctional as the British Government.
DO NOT BUY IFB. IF you have, then go through a consumer court and get yourself a refund.

This happens even to my IFB washing machine.Please tell me where to complaint?

I purchased one IFB digital washing machine on 30th march of this year unfortunately, it is unfortunate because only after using 1 month (Date of Delivery-03/04/2009 & date of Installation- 23rd or 24th April 2009) of use the machine started encountering problem.
The problem being started after 3rd use of the machine as whenever we use to put it in any temperature mode i.e. hot 45 degree, 60 degrees or any other similar type mode after running for certain time the timer in the digital output remained stationary, the problem was noticed in the month of May but we ignored as we referred user manual in which it was written under the head TROUBLE SHOOTING (pg. 22) if “program cycle time delayed/ balance time on the display remains stationary- NOT A FAULT”

On 6th of June we selected program Function Warm 60 degree Celsius, but after running for continuous 5 hr the program didn’t ended it stuck to 64 min. We informed the servive centre immediately, No action prompted as I did not know that Service is provided by your franchise ‘smart agencies’.

Getting no reply within 48 hrs we lodged complaint with Customer Care (Complaint No. 3121173) and then started our follow-ups with your Franchisee Service centre and We really didn’t knew how difficult it was to explain them what problem exactly we were facing, Franchisee service engineer visited us for not less than 7-8 times but till date no solution to the problem, Meanwhile your Service engineer also visited my home, every time it is being told to us that some or other parts needed to be changed many of them have already been changed for eg. Timer Relay, Motherboard ETC..

But till date the machine is continuously encountering problem. It is really so frustrating that though the problem were known to authorised service centre but not a single time feedback was taken by them anytime that whether the machine is running or not, every time we used to contact them and explained that what problem we are still facing. At the time of purchase we never thought that IFB had such poor, Pathetic after sale service though It was told by the dealer during purchase but we were not convinced that time thinking the Reputation of the Brand, but now We made a guilty by purchasing IFB having poorest after sales service in Consumer Durables in India.

We are really hopeless as we are unable to see any permanent solution to the above, it is already 3 months we are following up but each time ending up in dark speaking to service engineers. Last Time they said that some major parts has come from Goa, and they replace and checked but same problem continues. It is only our bad luck that to have better comfort this chose digital model of your company. GUY also reiterated this series of machine has some manufacturing, so it is better to Replace the machine as the Machine itself problematic from beginning as your Technical Team fails to correct the problem after 7 Trials, So as a consumer I AM CHEATED.

we would have no other way but to approach consumer forum for seeking help. I would also like to say that the next step which we would be taking is not our choice but it is the only option left to us by company. I hope to seek solution in this regard

I've bought new I.F.B machine model SENATOR 6 K.g on 21-08-09 from Gupta Electronics unser Invoice no. 9057 dated 21-8-09.
Within two days of purchase problems started with the machine and till date has not been taken care off.
All my efforts to get resolved my complaints have failed despite matter being discussed with even Senior officer including Mr.Gurvinder who is area incharge.
Problem is that initially its Motor was not working, after long chase it was changed after 5 days, even after that neither is machine loading Surf itself and is making lot of noise when it comes to Spin the clothes.
Sir, did i've done any mistake to rely upon such a reputed company and having such long time reputation all over the world, this is a defected piece and should be changed immediately which is mentally torturing me, to be on worse side even now your customer care people have stop responding .
Please help me and not harass any more.

I am an AMC holder (Elena-2004) whose complaint lodged on 17.09.2010 with the no 5122615 still remains unattended despite numerous calls to customer .

I would advice anyone to think twice before buying IFB product/service.
