I want to share my worst experience of my new samsung air conditioner, recently i bought a new Split Samsung Air Conditioner model no.AS-185TKA (5 Star) (1.5 ton) of Rs.29,800 from SARGAM Electronics(Authorised Samsung Dealer), 155, Kapil vihar, Pitam pura, Delhi-34 on 01/04/2010 (invoice no.SP-26) and get it installed within one week. It is not COOLING properly since the date of its installation. I called up the customer call centre and lodged a complaint and within two days a service engineer came and told me that there was some problem with gas leakage & next day he refilled the gas and air conditioner starts colling. But after two days its not cooling again. Then I have called the customer care again with same BP number i.e. [protected] & lodged the complaint. Again one engineer came & refilled the gas again & told that there was some problem in the cool wire and after one week they replaced the same. But after 10days, it is not cooling again at all. Now I am fed up with this samsung a/c. I want to replace my A/c or return my money. I want to know that if new product is not working properly since its installation then why the company is not replacing the product instead of repairing its parts. I think that they should have to change the product & issue the new one.
In view of this complaint, I would like to request you to please resolve this issue & issue necessary direction with regard to replacement of this Air Conditioner.

Aman

I purchased samsung corby pro (bt5310) one month back and i have started to face some really ridiculous problems.

1. I am not able to see my contacts stored in SIM card. It shows that I have 200 contacts in memory status but I can't see them.

2. I am not able to surf internet too, as it asks me too install java plugins. When I try installing it through the provided link, I am not able to do so.


Please suggest what to do. I am not able to reach their customer care no as the IVRS system is really pathetic.


Thanks

since yesterday, the upper apartment of my Samsung refrigerator which is a defrost one, gathers and accumulates ice very fast and makes that part not suitable to store anything.

I had purshased one Samsung2onW619 mobile handset on 03/02/2009 for Rs. 14855/-. from Reliance Webstore Ltd., East Patel Nagar, New Delhi. My handset got damaged in June'09 and I had shown it at Samsung Authorised Service Centre at Paharganj - Bharat Communication. The concerned person told me that they had forwarded the request for the parts required for repairs and had given an estimate of Rs.3000 - Rs.3500/- which I had consented for. After repeated followups & personal visits for nearly 6 months with the service centre & with Mr. Bharat Bhushan , Service Manager of Samsung with Mob. No. - [protected] , I was told that the parts has not come from the company and I was asked to go to Nehru Enclave service centre of the company. I had given my handset for repairs at Samsung Service Centre, Nehru Enclave , New Delhi on 30/01/2010 to Mr. Vineet, Service Centre Manager. Next day an estimate was given for around Rs. 6000/- for repairs and after a week the estimate was revised to Rs. 13000/-. When spoken to some senior executive Discount of 50% was given on the estimated cost of repairs. And now inspite of repeated followups & calls to him my handset has not been repaired till date even after 5 months has elapsed for non availability of parts. Now no response is given from them. My calls are also not being attended.

I had bought the Handset of Samsung for the 1st time thinking of the Brand Image of Samsung and other electronic gadgets of Samsung which I've been using for last 10 years. But I had not anticipated that Samsung which is a world renowed name is now not bothered for after-sales-service or customer satisfaction. I've been using / used mobile handsets of other companies namely NOKIA, LG, SPICE and I find NOKIA is the best for QUALITY & AFTER-SALES-SERVICE.

Is it worth buying such Branded Products with such high prices with no after-sales-support.

Request you if the consumer forum can help me in getting my handset repaired or alternatively the company replaces the handset.

Hi,

This is to inform you that I bought a New Samsung Refrigrator on 12th May 2010 worth rupees 18000. Now when it was delivered to my address the dealer said that the Samsung Engineer will come for the installation. The engineer came to check and said that your refrigrator will be replaced since you have received a faulty one. And the entire process will take almost 15 days. But it has been 25 days now since i am chasing with Samsung to get the replacement but whenever i call them they say that we are arranging a call back for you but i have not received a single call from them in last 20 days. Kindly help me to get it resolved since it has become a pain in neck to chase Samsung for the replacement of my refrigrator.

Dear Sir,

Sub: BP NO.[protected] DATED 20.06.2010
SAMSUNG FRIDGE MODEL NO.RT-23

This has reference to my subject complaint.

Please refer my complaint below and reply in the year 2009.

Again same problem started to my Fridge on 20.06.2010 and I loadged
a complaint to your Samsung Customer Care Centre.

After calling several times to your Service Centre M/s.Vision Cool Services
Service Engineer visited my house on 22.06.2010 and declared Compresser
not functioning to be taken to service Centre.

Again after calling several times, on 23.06.2010 at 05:15 PM they taken my machine
to their service centre for reparing.

On 24.06.2010, myself contacted two times, but they infmd engineer not yet
checkup the machine and they shall rvrt to me. But not recd any response.

Today (25.06.2010) again myself contacted them and understand estimated cost
for reparing will be Rs.1,600/- (One thousand six hundred). I rqstd them to provide
me a copy of invocie by fax, they agreed but not recd upto now.

Now I understand, if we purchase a Samsung product, each and every year
customer hv to face this type of problems mental/fisical and pay service charges
to your service Centre. Is it a business trick to your Service Centre or your cervice
engineers are not upto the level/qualified ?

You may please note tt the below charges has already paid by me to your service centre:

Date of Purchase : 04.04.2006

24.09.2008 - Paid Rs.1,193.00
18.04.2009 - Paid Rs. 809.00
03.07.2009 - Paid Rs. 83.00

Now again they insist me to pay Rs.1,600/- and also they infmd, if refuse to pay
this amount Fridge will not repair.

In this cirumstances, myself forced to plan to file a suit against Samsung India/Vision
Cool Service in Consumer court.

I would rqst your immdte necessary action by today.

Dear Sir,

This is very disgusting and shameful at your company end that i have launched a complaint having BP No:[protected] on 12/6/2010 that my refrigerator 375L RL-39WBMS is not working( Colling) Properly. My all milk products,vegetables etc are been spoiled.

I call customer care they say part of the Refrigerator is not available and this seems to me very unprofessional statement to me from your company.

I have also called to your Gurgaon office[protected] But of no use.

Kindly solve my problem. How Your company say that the part is not available in country when you have sold the refrigerator and if not i guess 13 days the part can be arranged from any where in this planet.

Looking forward for positive response

Hi,

Our split AC model no. AST18WJWD XTL went for repair to PRS Sevices, 5, Samipya Flats, opp. Welcome Flats, Urmi- Dinesh Mill Road, Akota, Vadodara- 390020, Ph no.:[protected], 2342488 , an authorized service center of Samsung India Electronics Ltd in Vadodara city, Gujarat. on approx 27th may 2010, after making several calls and follow ups it was installed back on approx 6th June 2010. But the AC was not giving proper cooling, so , we asked PRS services to do a check, one of the engineer came and filled the gas, but there was no result, so he decided to again take the AC back to the service center, the AC was taken back on 14th June 2010 and we were promised by the engineer that AC would be installed in 2 working days.
Today its 24th June 2010 , and we are still following up the the PRS services to install the AC back.

For 1 month approximately from 27th may – 24th June 2010, we have stayed without AC in summer season, where the temperature goes up to 46 degrees.

We are one of the Loyal customer of Samsung as far as home appliances are concerned, We have 2 AC's both of Samsung, 1 Refrigerator of Samsung, 1 kitchen Owen of Samsung.
Kindly do the needful, so that we do not feel sorry on our decision to have Samsung in our home.
I hope one of the management people reads this mail, understands our problem and take some necessary step to resolve it.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Finally I am writing this mail after several times repeating in contacting your Customer care.

The numbers which I contacted are

[protected],[protected]

I bought a 1.5 tons split AC by last March 16th 2010, now it has the problem in LED Display and oscillating Flap (not working).

I kept contacting your customer care past one month; complaint request number is [protected] (but no use).

Every time I get an answer from your customer care as my call been register in a priority (emergency) bases, but I don’t find any response later.

So, I am writing this mail as assuming that some response will be there from your side.

Hello
Service Request No [protected]
Transaction No [protected],
I had given my AC for repairs.
The AC was repaired but the servicing center refused to give me a true copy of the work order or any document pertaining to the what repairs were carried out.
Moreover when i spoke to the service center executive he simply refused to acknoledge my valid points and asked me to return the AC.
By that time the delivery man had fitted the AC.
The service executive asked the delivery man to remove it.
So i had to remove the fitted AC and return it back.
First of all the company gives a faulty piece of AC,who's compressor goes off in just 2 months of purchase.
Then the service provided is PATHETIC and the company refuses to give a proof of service that has been carried out on the AC.
Then the service center people act in a high headed manner and remove an already fitted AC.
I feel really sorry to have bought a samsung product and have vowed never to either buy another samsung product or recommend to anyone else.
I guess it was a terrible mistake to have bought a samsung product.

Samsung India Ltd.,


Dear Sir,

Re: My Samsung split A/c. 1.5 tonne
Model No.AS18EFA / 2009
Unsatisfactory service from your company
Representatives
------- [protected][protected][protected]

I had purchased one Samsung 1.5 ton split a/c, model no.AS18EFA / 2009 on 26/05/2009 from your dealer M/s. Harsha Electronics, Near Mahalaxmi Char Rasta, Paldi, Ahmedabad.

After three months of purchase, during the visit of your company service engineer for first service, it was detected that there was gas leakage from my a/c. The service engineer repaired the same. My query is that why a new A/c purchased by me and that also of a reputed brand like Samsung developed such a serious technical snag during the first three months of its purchase?

Sir, on 18/5/2010, I noticed leakage of water from the side of Temperature indicator panel. I had immediately lodged a complaint. On 22/05/2010 your engineer came and checked the problem and told that he had solved the problem and the leakage will not occur. At that time I informed your engineer that in case the problem recurs, I will be away from town on 23/5/2009 and 24/5/2009.

Unfortunately on 22/5/2010, the same day on which your engineer had visited and had declared that the problem was solved, I found that leakage was again there. I telephoned to your service engineer on 23/5/2009 from train, who informed me that he will come on 28/5/2010 and repair the problem. But he failed to turn up. At this juncture I would like to point out to the company that what type of service engineers your company has that a minor problem could not be satisfactorily solved.

Again I lodged a complaint on 5/6/2010. Your person had come and did some repairing but the problem still could not be solved and leakage was continued. As the problem was not solved I once again lodged a complaint, I was told that I will have to pay charges but, I refused him and told that I will take up the matter with higher authorities. My complaint was lodged within the guarantee period, and the same problem could not be rectified by your engineer and there is no question of my paying any charges.

In fact, the entire fault lies with the Company as it could not solve a minor problem and I had to undergo unnecessary harassment and mental agony. I now request you to personally take up the matter and repair the ac to my satisfaction.


Yours faithfully,
