[Resolved]  LG Electronics — Faulty Refrigerator since Day-1 of purchase / Pathetic customer care / Incompetent Engineers / Please collect the fridge and issue a full refund.

Address:Gautam Buddh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh

Hi, Ever since the purchase of my double door refrigerator, I am facing cooling problem. I had registered for demo and installation on August 14, 2015. Today it's August 21, 2015 and even now I am facing the same issue. I have made multiple calls to LG customer service. I have stayed on calls as long as 50 minutes without anyone coming back and responding to me. Asked for team leaders in customer service repeatedly but seldom does one answer the call. I had words with customer service agents who don't even try and listen to you. Interacted with the so called engineers who I guess don't know what to do. These so called engineers just keep on repeating that they’ll visit in an hour, then it becomes 2 hours, then it becomes in the evening and ultimately the next. Literally 1-2 hours of my day is spent arguing and following up with LG customer service and their engineers ever since I have purchased this fridge. Two of your engineers have visited me in the past 6 days after so many follow ups (just imagine that!). I have repeatedly stated that it has some cooling problems and the fridge won’t work in another hour or so. However, they never listen. If you someone is reading this complaint, try and listen to the recorded calls I had made to you contact centre. You'll get to know how your customer service representatives torture the life out of your customers. I am fed up this situation now. A brand like LG with such pathetic customer service is unbelievable. Why would anyone like to take this much pain when there are others in the market who can provide much better customer experience. I have been a loyal LG customer for long. I have purchased LG LCD, Fridge, AC, Microwave etc in the past but I swear never to buy a product again from you and never to recommend any product to anyone. Even if someone is planning to buy something from you, I'll ensure that I share my experience with them so that they don't face the same challenges like I am doing right now. I am done trying to reach you guys now; I have emailed you and called you multiple times now. The latest service number I have received from you is SR[protected]. Model number of the fridge is GL-B252VMGY (NI). Date of purchase is 02/08/2015. Please get the product picked up from me and issue a refund as soon as possible. Thanks and regards, Prajosh [protected] prajosh.[protected]@gmail.com

After repeated attempts to get the above mentioned situation resolved. One of your engineer's visited me to check the status of the fridge. This was after 2 days of follow up with the person.

He visited and confirmed that the fridge was working fine. As per him, there are no issues with the fridge and it was working perfectly. But the same thing started happening again, so I reached out the person. He said that this is because of the fluctuating current and stuff.

He said that I should try and install a stabilizer for the fridge. This is when, your product says that a stabilizer is not required for it operate. The fridge has a sticker on the top which says that a stabilizer is not required.

I have the same product, it never required a stabilizer earlier and has been working in perfectly good condition for the past couple of years now. I don't know why a stabilizer was required in this case.

Any which ways, I got a stabilizer, plugged it in to find that the fridge is not cooling again.

Apparently, there is too much electricity fluctuation in the building. This is actually a lame excuse and nothing else. How does everyone else fridge perfectly fine in the building then? Can you please try and explain that?

It's been 10 days now since I have started complaining now and the results are still the same. Please pick your product up and refund the amount charged to me for the product.
