The compressor of my Samsung refrigerator just broke down few days after the warranty period expired.

Lesson no. 1. Do not by Samsung Regrigerators - they are bad. The service fellow came and first said the board is bad and need to be replaced.
After prolonged questioning and re examination, the final reson for break down is due to compresser breaking down.
Compressors should last for 10 to 15 years.
Why they break down just after warranty period expires - because of poor workmanship involved.

Hence Lessor no. 2. Do not buy Samsung Refrigirators.

And the final lession agian is DO NOT BUY SAMSAUNG REFRIGIRATORS.
our samsung fridge is only 2 year old and now thw compressor is not working. its getting heated up. fridge is not cooling.
we made complain to company a guy came and said to sold him back for rs 2000 or replace the compressor by 2600.


Please suggest

Good Afternoon Mr. Shashank Srivastava

Thanks for your immediate and prompt reply, but not satisfied with your reasoning.
This is the first communication received from Samsung and I haven't received any other communication.

As I told you I have the original warranty card with your dealer stamp and the credit card statement for the proof of purchase on that date.I attach the same for your reference. It means you don't trust your dealer as well as customer. Chellamani & Co supposed to be one of your biggest dealer in Chennai having many branches in Chennai.

Moreover warranty conditions or warranty information on your website doesn't stipulate to keep the bill copy or submit bill copy for any replacement.

I trust you would appreciate and do the need full to set right my fridge immediately.

Thanks

Selvam
