Bosch Home India Complaints & Reviews

Dear Bosch

I have adjusted meticulously closed lid but E-3error code is coming and machine is not functioning..

It is very sad to say that the washing machine which i was contentiously using for last few years (approximately 3-4 years) is now showing abnormal indications. Spinning function is stopped, so drying is not happening after the wash. On 03th may 2021, service technical being contacted and he attended the machine, within 2 minutes, he found that the drum is completely broken and he said, a complete drum replacement is required and its cost is almost close to the price of a new machine. Its quite unexpected that the drum damage happened all of a sudden, that too a :bosch product", and its unacceptable. Service report and bill attached.

As per the technician, the full set of the drum requires 10000 rupees, which is unacceptable. So kindly help to resolve the issue as i am a regular customer of bosch, and its not my 1 st product since am suggesting these bosch products to my family mates as well..My cont number +91 [protected], [protected]

Dear Sir,

With reference to above subject we purchased refrigerator Bosch Make from M/S Sairaj Electronics and Home Appliance. Attached here with Invoice. Please find below details of Refrigerator.
Model No: KDD46XI30I/04
Sr. No.:[protected]
Date of Purchase: 9 November 2019
Location: Degloor Taluka, Dist Nanded, Maharashtra, India

We found that during normal operation suddenly the Refrigerator stopped working since last month. Furthermore, we have approached the supplier and they assigned an Authorized Representative from Nanded district. During his visit they replaced the Power Module and Motor Module. and charged us around 12, 500.00 INR including RS 800.00 service charges. These charges are very high and beyond our capacity. Anyhow we borrowed the money and paid to Bosch Services.

The main purpose of writing this email is that we are not happy with the product that we purchased and getting complaints. We never expect such reputed brand product got break down within 15 months of product purchase. Also, we spent around Rs 56, 500.00 on this product as of now in such tough COVID crises. I am enclosing here with all relevant documents such as Invoice, Product detail, Spare Parts Replaced for your ready reference.

Therefore, we request your support and investigate this issue and our humble request is to replace this product as earliest and provide us with a reliable Refrigerator. We can not afford such expensive service in future.

We look forward to your feedback and confirmation.

Best Regards

I have purchased a washing machine of BOSCH company on 09/04/2021 from your Dalhousie Branch vide Invoice No. DLH/SA/2122/00971, but very unfortunately till now my machine is not installed. I have call several time to the customer care but either they does not reply or tell me that the trolly for the said machine is not available. Although I have no problem regarding the price.

After receiving the product the engineer visit my home but he just said that due to unavailability of trolly we are unable to installed the product.

It is very much unfortunate to me, if the product is not installed within 15 days from the complain I am going to lodge a complain at consumer forum.

Since Purchase - too noisy, non-performing - tried repairing with Bosch technicians twice before this compliant. need replacement.

DOES NOT COOL - LISTEN TO THE NOISE IN ATTACHED VIEDIO - DIFFICULT TO SLEEP AT NIGHT IN THIS NOISE. REPEATED COMPLAIN SINCE PURCHASE. EXTREMELY UPSET WITH THE PRODUCT. MY FIRST EVER FRIDGE PURCHASE - WORST DECISION.

Purchase Date20.10.2019
RECEIVED AT HOME JAN 2020

We did purchased a Bosch dishwasher in Bangalore RDS and CO. They delivered it to our home in hyderabad through logistics after full payment and asked us not to open the package until the technician visit. We did followed all the instructions as per them.

Finally, Bosch technician came to our home to install the machine and removed the package and upon inspecting that he said that the received product was damaged and said that they will replace the product. We waited for around 2-3 days and escalated the issue through Bosch customer care. They took around 20 days to say that they will replace the damaged parts and no refund and replacement is possible. We got little bit confused and didn't left a single stone turned. Finally, the dealer agreed to refund for the machine. Following is the written communication from him and our conversation,

==============================================
You agreed and we waited there for about four hours but we didn't receive payment. Instead you replied that you will not do the payment until you receive the machine.

You wasted our efforts and broke trust in every aspect. The initial e-mail is from your side saying that you will refund us as soon as you receive the screenshot of the logistics receipt (from hyd to bangalore).

Why did you initiate that email if you have concerns about the refund at the time of booking ? We did not break our promise and we booked the machine and sent the receipt. But after listening to you and your team's response towards this matter and after waiting for around 4 hours we cancelled the booking and brought the machine back to home.

I feel very sad about this where there is no mistake from our side and even we waited there infront of a transportation office for such long duration and finally back to home.

I really won't leave this issue and will definitely escalate this through proper channels. I even don't want to reply to this email but as a proof of written communication I am doing this.

Upon seeing this conversation by now you should understand the pain I am going through by purchasing the Bosch Dishwasher.

By purchasing this machine by spending hard earned money we are not at all happy. Even it is very frustrating to talk to the dealer, customer care and every one calls and ask the story from the start.

Especially the dealer is did not stand on his words which caused a lot of pain to take the machine to transport office and bring it back to home on my own expenses. Its not only about the money but the response from them is terrible. They say bank transaction is failing for some time and again after that they say they will not send the money until they receive the machine.

Very terrible experience from a company like Bosch and if this issue is not resolve I am not going to leave it here definitely after taking this much pain. Replacing the damaged machine with the new one is my first priority and incase if its not possible take back the machine and refund the amount as soon as possible so that I can purchase another one but not definitely Bosch.

Sequence of Events: 1. The complaint no.[protected] was raised on 18 Feb 2021, due to PCB (Printed circuit board) issues. After repeated follow-up the PCB (Printed circuit board) was installed on 27 Feb, 2021. However, during installation the technician has caused major wreckage to my unit. The 2 nos. of main clamps on PCB cover Panel are broken by him (Pic is there in mail transcript attached herewith), one of the screw is improperly tightened and has come out of screw hole (Pic is there in mail transcript attached herewith), and the cover has been roughly damaged at many places. This is so rough handling of my device. The technician admitted that these clamps were broken by him and I instantly talked to the Qdigi services, and the person at your service told me that these clamps have been ordered and will be fixed on my unit soon (I have phone recordings for these). Till then my complaint will remain open. 2. After about a month, on March 25, 2021 the technician came again with clamps and Panel. The Panel which company sent was of different color (grey) while my refrigerator is of red color. They explained that grey unit is currently in production, so red colour is not available (completely unacceptable as my refrigerator is just 2 years old). Even then, as my part was damaged I agreed for installation of grey panel. Now, here is the second blunder by technician. The Panel which was sent by the company as spare parts and was not having the required switches (a transparent delicate one) and the soft padding at back of it unlike the ones present at the back of old Panel already present on my refrigerator (which was damaged by technician). So, in order to make the incomplete Panel a complete one, the technician tried to remove the switch and Padding from back of old Panel and in the process broke the switch (damaged part Pic attached in mail transcript) and also damaged the Padding. This means instead of replacement I now suffered more damages. I talked to service manager Mr. Rudra (Mob: [protected]) and he assured me that such complete panel (as present in my refrigerator) will be ordered and fixed on my refrigerator 3. Now, the real policy of company. Mr Rudra in consultation with Mr Bijay (Mob:[protected]), regional head called me and informed me that such prefixed parts are not being manufactured by company and they cannot bring parts from manufactured refrigerators. So they are planning to cut some double sided tape (by cutter) kind of thing and fix it instead of the prefixed padding at the back of manufactured panel. Similarly, instead of the prefixed switches they are planning to bring a separate switch and fix it, instead of the prefixed Panel. I informed them that these manual interventions will damage my unit more and if my unit suffers any technical issues later on, will the company be responsible. They are not willing to take any responsibility, but are willing just to finish the work by any stupid way. Prayer: My Prayer to is that please instruct higher management of BOSCH Home Appliances to arrange completely factory produced unit of the entire Panel unit (with switches and Padding) so that it can be installed on my refrigerator. In case, the company admits that it cannot produce one such spare part, then it should replace my entire refrigerator unit (color does not matter) as being a consumer I can’t take risk of consequences which will happen due to non-professional technician and mishandling. If my unit is damaged by BOSCH Technicians, it’s complete liability of BOSCH to fix it to the state as it was before service.

Hi,

We were facing issue with our 2 year old Bosch dishwasher, suddenly a well functioning machine would leave hard water stains on the dishes & we were in a fix. After contacting customer service & multiple follow ups over 12 days we got the technician to visit our place. Firstly he tried cheating us by charging Rs 600 visiting charge when we were informed it's Rs 300. Then he said us that we need to replace our machine's...

Mixer Grinder which is mentioned above is dead. Kindly rectify the issue.

I had registered a complaint for my BOsch refigerator last week. My fridge is just 2 years old and a technician visited and advised that a part costing to Rs. 6000 has to be changed which is not in warrantee. Now we have been waiting for that part to be changed and the concerned person is not responding as to when should we expect him. At first place after investing in an expensive appliance like bosch, we did not expect it to get out of order within 2 years!!! Secondly when you charge Rs.800 for your visiting charges, we should be able to expect atleast a dependable and fast service. As of today the person had switched off his phone. We don't know whats the status of our complaint and when is it expected to be resolved. HIGHLY DISSAPOINTED.

I have booked for a bosch dishwasher on[protected]through the Bosch dealer Griyas, Mayiladuthurai} by paying an amount of Rs 1000 as advance.
On 01-01-21, the dishwasher was delivered (Invoice No:2928).
On 02-01-21, two technicians came from Karaikal Bosch service centre and installed the machine.When they switched on the dish washer, an error message (E3) was produced.They said there was defect in the machine and senior technician would come to rectify it.
On 07-01-21, senior technician came an tried. They could not rectify the problem. They said there might be problem in the board and it should be replaced. Since the machine did not run for even a single minute, the machine delivered to us with defect, we did not like to replace the board, we asked for replacement of the machine and not the board.
after a few days the machine was taken back by he dealer for replacement. after that no action was taken by Bosch and we made a number of follow ups through phone calls which yielded no results. Since we have faith in Bosch's reputation, we have not made any written communication with Bosch.
It has been nearly three months, still we have not seen any progress.
we request you to kindly do the needful at the earliest possible to replace the dish washer.
thank you.
Regarding this we have already e mailed on 12/02/2021, 20/02/1960 ad on 2/02/1960
Nearly it has been 4 months, still we didn’t get either the machine or any reply.

Good Evening Sir!
I would like to bring to your kind notice an unpleasant incident experienced by me on the purchase of a BOSCH refrigerator from one of your dealers, M/s. Lakshmi Electronics in Chennai on 26.09.2020, vide their invoice No.1311 for Rs.37, 000, which was duly delivered and installed in my residence by the company's technicians.
At the time of purchase, I was also offered an extended warranty of 3 years on the product on a payment of Rs.1, 899/- which was paid by me, and a Job Card was issued by the Authorised Service Provider, M/s. Om Sai Ram Enterprises, vide their Receipt No.1750 dated 26.09.2020.
After about a month, some manufacturing defects were noticed in the refrigerator and brought to the notice of the dealer, who arranged to have it inspected by the company's technicians/engineers. They identified/certified the defects and recommended for replacement of the refrigerator.
We could not, however, get the replacement done, since the same model, with the required specifications was not available with the dealer, even after having waited for a month. We, therefore, contacted the sales in-charge of your Chennai Region, Mr. Joseph, who arranged to get the replacement done through another local dealer, M/s. VIVEK & co., Adyar, Chennai, vide their Order-cum-Receipt No. SOJ[protected] dated 31.12.2020, and the product was replaced. I was also told by Mr. Joseph that the extended warranty amount would be transferred to the replaced refrigerator by the previous dealer.
I, therefore, took up the matter with M/s. Lakshmi Electronics, who have been asking a lot of questions about the purchase and the episode of replacement, thereafter, including the details of the technicians/engineers involved in the installation and certification for replacement, etc.
Today, I have been informed by them that they are unable to do anything in the matter, because the receipt for the extended warranty was not issued by them, but by the Authorised Service Provider, M/s. Om Sai Ram Enterprises! This has come as a huge jolt to me!!
I have also informed Mr. Joseph regarding this development, who has also not been able to do anything in this matter.
I, therefore, request you to look into the matter, and arrange to sort out the issue of transferring the extended warranty to the replace fridge amicably at the earliest.
Seeking your immediate attention and action, and looking forward to your reply.
An irate customer,
S. Arjun,

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have purchased 'Bosch 8 kg Inverter ExpressWash Fully Automatic Front Load washing machine with In-built Heater White (WAT24463IN) on 15th Oct 2020. Machine ran into a problem in second week (probably on 14.01.21) of January 2021. I have placed a complain about the same on the same date.

From service centre, I have been informed that certain parts need to be replaced so they have lodged the complaint and that part will come from Chennai and would take about 15 days or so. Since then and till date, when ever I call at the service centre, FIRSTLY they are not receiving the phone calls and if they do they are buying more time and according to them they themself don't know about the status of the replace part.

I have found the service level is very SUBSTANDARD and very much UNSATISFACTION about my choice.

Please note: Kindly let me know how much time I have to wait further and when can I expect my washing machine be fully operational...

There is a cloud of smoke in the machine when the machine in spin mode. Technician says bearing is damaged so need to replace the whole DRUM (10, 000 Rupees).

This is not the way to repair. Should I need to change the whole drum from every small mechanical issue?

So you guys selling spares. No doing any repair work. Then that could have been told by the customer care. NO need to send a Technician and charge for that too in name of service.

Now when I see the service sheet says 1.5hr service, but the inspection happened for 15 mins inspection. (Total 30 min as the technician on the phone with other customers). you charging 800 Rupees which could have been informed on the phone. As you guys don't repair.

What is the need to change Suspension? if the drum bearing is damaged?

Dish washer was purchased on 21/06/2020. After installation water was leaking from front door. Many complaints were made but no response till date and the problem persists. Complaint number- BOF310720F500632 Dated- 31/7/20

This is further in continuation my complaint, somebody came to attend the complaint of the machine to my entire disappointment he informed that the machine which was sold to me, the model has been discontinued. This fact was never been brought to my notice while i was selecting the machine i there for wish that matter should be shorted out with the dealer that he should not play foul rather explaining to the customer all facts. The shot of practice should be stop.
In all fairness of this issue this machine should be remove and new machine should be provided to your valued customer.
i hope the whole issue is very clear only action should be taken to square this uncalled issue.

I am desperately want to bring to your notice before going to costumer protection send. I constantly reminding your dealer regarding day one complaint of leakage of washing machine. But to my entire dissatisfaction your dealer is not attending to my complaint for the last about two months.
Probably your dealer has supplied me defective and rejected piece.
Now there is a option that this piece of washing machine be replaced immediately. Otherwise i have no option but to take this matter to department of consumer protection cell Govt. of india New Delhi.
Hope you will do me fever without spending any more time to remind to your dealer who supplied me defective piece of washing machine.
