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.

IFB WASHING MACHINE — Faulty Machine & Bad Service

We had purchase a basic ELENA IFB Washing Machine 2 years ago. my machine was serviced within 1 year time for extreme vibrating. Now the day 2 years' warranty expires we had to call a technician for leakage of water while functioning. But the technician turned to be fresher and had no proper solution and answer for leakage and vibrating problem. still the job is pending. Ticket no.2872758 date:30.03.09 time: 2.58pm. We are fed up with the faulty machine and bad service of IFB.

-PARESH BHANDARI.
PUNE.

IFB service is horrible & extract money for faulty parts.

IFB - 5.5 kg DigitalWashing Machine — Faulty Washing MAchine

I am an IFB product user for the past 10 years. I bought a digital front loading washing machine on 06Apr2009 from YOUR chennai office . On 12May2009, it gave a huge noise and I stopped the machine. I made a complaint to your call center - ticket number 3020996.


Your service engineer Mr Suresh, came on 15May2009 and found that off the 3 screws that needs to keep the stone in place, there was only one. This had come loose while the machine was working. In the bargain the stone came out of its alignment and sheared all the plastic parts inside the machine. This has resulted in the tub alignment going cross,

along with the motor alignment.



Since it was 1 month young, I spoke to your call center and your engineer, that I needed a replacement under warranty.

I spoke to your service leader Mr Nanda also regarding this. He informed me that he would replace the machine.



Meantime your call center closed the first ticket number. Hence I had to raise another ticket number 3057611 on 22May2009. I have spoken to your following staff on this.

1) Ms Thilagam

2) Ms Rashmi

3) Mr Gibson

4) Mr Sanjeev

5) Mr Anbu

6) Mr Vishwam

7) Ms Jhansi of chennai office.

Meanwhile, I was in constant touch with Mr Nanda. Today he had come home and taken photograph of the machine. Till date I am not sure whether your company will replace it or not.

I tried reaching Mr Ravi Ganesh - branch manager without success. They are also refusing to give the name of higher officials who would do the decision on this issue.I would like to know your company stand on this.

I AM ALSO VITIM OF THIS THIRD CLASS IFB SECVICES.SINCE 5 DAYS I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT ON[protected] AND MY TICKET NO. IS[protected].
TODAY IS[protected] PM NO BODY HAS ATTENDED OR EVEN THOUGH REPLY OF THE COMPLAINT.
ANY BODY IN AHMEDABAD WANTS TO BUY THIS THIRD GRADE PRODUCT AND READ THIS FORUM PLEASE DON'T BUY...

IFB WASHING MACHINE — Very poor response

Services are generally poor.

We registered a complaint on 23 July 2009 and got complaint no3290368 the same day evening at 7.00pm in the mobile.

No one came for service the next dayor today

But when we checked up this afternoon it was to our surprise that the ticket is closed saying we were out of station

It is very disgusting and very difficult to follow through these guys. We tried reching the agency on their landline/ Mobile butin vain

Believe the concerned agency will take necessary steps to rsolve the issue

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[protected] and Miss Nidhi [protected].

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

please help the harrased customers of IFB & FROM ITS APATHY TOWARDS CUSTOMERS OF Mumbai & it seems everybody is suffering the same way.

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.
