Sub : Complaint for my Refrigerator which was in non working condition.
Ref : Complaint No. [protected] dated 10.01.2013
Ref: As confirmed by your service engineer compressor which was under warranty
is not working due to which my refrigerator is not in working condition.
I had purchased Samsung Single Door Refrigerator Model No RA19WBPS from M/s Priya Associates Pimpri Pune: 411018 (Maharashtra) vide Invoice No.38882 dated 28.09.2009 which was working well since 08.01.2013 morning. After some time we noticed that cooling effect of the same has been gone but lights in fridge were on.
I had made complaint to M/s. Priya Associates & I have been informed by the madam sitting in office of M/s. Priya Electronic that she will inform the complaint to their Service centre & engineer will visit my home, check up the fault & will inform
Me the charges payable by me. But I will have to pay Rs.225/- towards his visit charges.
Accordingly, engineer from M/s.Elegent, Akurdi (Authorized Service centre of Samsung)
Has visited & checked my Refrigerator & informed me over phone (since I was not at my home) that compressor of my Refrigerator has been blocked & will have to replace the same with new compressor. Since compressor was under warranty period he told me over mobile that the will replaces at free of cost but I will have to pay the charges for gas filling approx amounting to Rs.1500/-. I asked him why we will have to fill gas. He told me that when compressor is replaced without filling gas we neither can nor replace the compressor. Then I asked him when there is fault in compressor which is under warranty period why I will have to pay the charges of gas filling since gas will leak due to fault in compressor since it is connected with compressor. He left my home without any further discussion. This all happened on 11.01.2012 meantime I had also made complaint your Customer Harassment Centre since many of customer like me has been taken an experience of you customer care centre which is not customer care centre but it should be renamed as Customer Harassment Centre. From the following points you will also agree for the same.
Details of worst experiences of your customer care.
Ask any query they don’t know the information.
They will ask us to talk with technical team or service centre
If we ask them let me talk with any senior person answer will be I will
Check whether the said person is available or not & will ask us to hold the call.
After long period holding call they will say the person is not available or he will call
Later
They are caring their official more than care of customer.
There is “n†number of points but I don’t want to spend your precious time for such
a small thing.
Sir, for this my small complaint I am constantly taking follow up with your customer care, service centre, dealer, company & junior & senior officials. But result was zero. The some name of persons I talked is as below.
M/s.Rajeev,Sukhvinder,Puja Madam,Siddharh,Shivkumarji Mishra,Santosh,Abhishek Anurag etc of your company/customer care M/s.Shaheed,Sohail & Krishna from your Service Centre.Mr Sanjay & some madam from your dealer & so on.
My main point was as below.
I had got the warranty of my refrigerator for one year & compressor for five years.
If my compressor is under warranty period company is going to replace it but I had been asked to pay the charges of gas filling which is linked with compressor or inner part of compressor. It means company gives me the warranty for my hand, legs or any part of my body but I will have to pay the charges for bones, blood or meat etc.The same example was given to your Mr.Santosh (ASM) but he cant explain me the reason for paying gas filling charges & answered me that the said charges I will have to pay because of your company policy. The I had asked all your officials & Mr. Shaheed that if compressor is under warranty person issue me the same. I will fill the gas with my own expenses. I don’t want want to fill the gas from company since the charges are higher than markets. They denied & told me that we cannot issue the compressor without gas filling. I asked the reason & answer was same as its company policy.Sir,I would like to ask you whether this is company policy or official are lying & if this is company policy how the company like Samsung make such a foolish policy. Sir, I am the customers who always use your all consumable products & mobiles. Today I & my family members are having 28 Mobiles of Samsung, but now because of above incidence I don’t have faith on your company.
Sir, due to your compressor problem I had lost my 10 injections amounting to Rs.47500/- The said possibility of the same was already informed time to time in advance from 12.01.2013 to 17.01.2013 to your above officials. & recording of the same is with me & your customer care. In addition to this I have been mentally harassed from your customer care centres,service centre & dealer for above reason which I cannot work out the cost in monetary term but which may be Rs.50000/-
Further, I had also informed your officers the urgency of the same but the same was not attended in time. I had already paid Rs.225/- as Labor & Service amount Rs.200/- & Service Tax thereon of Rs.25/- on 12.01.20013 vide receipt no.10690/12.01.2013 & Dryer replaced-Rs.86/- & Gas charging done – Rs.1275/- on VAT on the same Rs.170/ less discount – Rs.31/- vide receipt no.10487/21.01.2013 ( Total Rs.225/- + Rs.1500/- = Rs.1725/-).As already informed from 12 to 20th Jan 2013 to your all above official, service centre & dealer the said charges are being paid by me UNDER PROTEST†to avoid my/your further losses.
Now, I request to arrange to reimburse me an amount of Rs.47500/- + Rs.50000/- + Rs.1725/- Total Rs.99225/-) towards above losses immediately within two days otherwise I will have no option but to knock the doors of consumer forum...
Please treat this as most urgent.
Thanking you,
Yours Sincerely,

Complaint marked as Resolved
Refregerator Samsung — Over charge during warranty
I had purchased the samsung refrigerator from M/s Sunil Enterprises, Abu Road (Raj) in the month of June/July 2008.Recently on 17/12/2009 the equipment stopped functioning and while attending complaint by the representative of authorized service centre, it was found that the compressor was not functioning. Under guarantee the faulty compressor was replaced with the other one. The refrigerator is now in working condition.
However the following are the concerns;
• The bill (Scanned copy attached) contains no details of defects or change of compressor.
• No other document regarding the change of compressor have been given to me.
• A total amount of Rs 1050/- have been charged from me including the gas charging amount of Rs 700/-. This head have not clearly mentioned on the bill.
I protest at this stage that the gas have been refilled due to replacement of compressor. It should not be recovered from the customer as the refill of gas was required due to replacement of faulty compressor.
I had requested to M/s Samsung to ;
1. Give me the detail of the service carried out.
2. Pay me the sum of Rs 700 which have been taken as the cost of gas refill.
But they are palying a foul play. I have not been given any written reply to my complaint though i had requested for the same.
