Bosch Home India Complaints & Reviews

I am deepak vaishnav, tax assistant, o/o deputy commissioner of income tax, ahmedabad.
My address is 103-block b, sakal -59 apartment, ioc road, near satyamev hospital, cahndkheda, ahmedabad
I purchased bosch 7 kg fully-automatic front loading washing machine (Wak24168in, silver) on 10/10/2018 with warranty till 10/10/2020.
This purchase is on emi basis.

My complaint is regarding 2 issues which were neither resolved (Fixed) nor my product got replaced even in warranty period.
First one is noise level and vibration issue which i noticed even within first month of purchase. Although it was resolved once but it appeared again.
If i get the same issue after warranty period how will i manage service expanses. I am enclosing a video of the noise level which is very loud for your kind attention.

Second issue is with the drum.
It got unpolished after running clean drum program.
A photo of the same is enclosed for your kind reference.
When i approached the service provider with service request id no.. [protected], he told me that i might have used some cleaning chemical powder in the drum while running clean program.in reality, no such chemical was used by me. The machine was run in clean program with water only on 90 degree temp which is standard function of machine.

The service provider suggested a chemical solution but his senior service provider said he don't know about any such solution. How can i believe in such a dubious talk.

My earnest request is to either fix the issues or replace the machine.

Dear bosch service team,

Despite of several emails / telephone talks / whatsapp / personal visits, no resolution is provided for the mentioned complaint.

In between we are facing new problem with machine, that is leakage of current in machine, which may cause threat to my or my family member life,

It's is a big risk now. Also there is not significant response from your local office.

Can you please give an attention to my problem and solve it once for all,

I purchased a bosch refrigerator from vijay sales, rohini on[protected]. The product was defective (The small vegetable box and ice box are difficult to manage and not at all user friendly, also the main door has no support so the door keeps banging) i lodged a complaint with vijay sales regarding the same. Even after repeated complaints and demands for return of the product the matter was not sorted and on this said date i was told by your co executive that nothing can be done. He even told us to go ahead and lodge a complaint in the company's consumer forum and was very rude and unfriendly to the point of being abusive.
My order no is-313-r-sot-3379.
I would like a refund at the earliest possible as i have already faced a lot of harassment and mental torture and would not want to be harassed further.

I have fully automatic front load washing machine. I registered a complaint around 3-4 weeks ago. Company technician visited once and told me they need to change a part, next day they called me that part will come after few days, after that no call, mail or technician came to help me out with this. Service and way of talking on phone is really pathatic.

My bosch fridge started to build up ice in the freezer compartment for a few months. I called an authorized service agent home appliances service centre, cochin. A technician came and said a fan and a sensor need to be replaced. The parts were ordered and it took almost a month to get the parts. It was replaced (Rs. 4, 500). After a few days the same complaint chapped and a still persisting. The same technician came and said a printed board has to be replaced. For this, we are waiting since september 2018. The fridge was working on and off all this time and has now completely stopped.

I purchased a bosch front loading machine on 04/12/2016 with sr no[protected]. This machine developed a fault near 5th of nov 2018 with the valve that controls water supply. I called bosch customer care and requested technician vist. The request was taken under warranty period and request id was [protected].
The technician visited on around 10th november 2018 and told us that new valve needs to installed and it will take a week time. He called me on 16th november confirming that he has got the new valve. But then he never came to install it. And on 20th november, i received a mail from bosch that my request was completed. I called customer care and told them that the service request is not complete. Even till today on 24th november... Approx 20 days since my request, i am awaiting the service of bosch home india... The replies of the employees have been very casual and they do not care for the customer once their product is sold. I am disappointed in bosch and will not recommend anyone to buy just because of after sales service is the worst of all.

Sir
After having registered complaint in consumer complaints a service person again inspected the front load washing machine and found that both tub and drum need to be changed along with belt and he mentioned the cost estimate rs. 11195 which is too much for a repair. He also mentioned about buy back option.
The washing machine warranty period is marginally over. I. E., after two years and the company's ultimate aim is not...

I have bought a bosch dishwasher from maharaja gruhavaibhav, shivamogga, on 05/11/2018 which was delivered to my home on 06/11/2018 without any installation saying a technician will come to install & will do a demo.

A technician came on 10/11/2018 at 01:00 pm, but on seeing that small extra fitting is required to water inlet, left saying that he will come 4:00 pm, but he didn't. I called him to say that i have the fitting and he can come. He said, he will, but no.

On 12/11/2018, i called him to remind. He said, he will call & come, but can't say the time. Unfortunately, again no.

During this period from 06/11/2018 to 12/11/2018, there is no call from the dealer to make sure the installation is done or not, least bothered, this is paining (I gave them a call to remind)

If this is the service what you are providing for instalation, then what about if we register a service request for repair, i am scared. I think, i made a mistake of choosing bosch.

Bought a washing machine in 2012 and raised a complaint in first week of sep 2018. One person came and suggested to replace display board. Though i called them daily i am yet to get the spare part replaced even after 2 months. I tried to contact several other executives but i did not expect this kind of a delay from a reputed company on which we trusted and bought a product

I very much regret to bring to your notice though I know nothing will be done, that we have lodged a complaint about failure of our washing machine exactly a month ago with local complaint department. Since then we would have received some 10-15 calls asking varied information, details and the latest being yesterday intimating that the part is obtained and he is coming today for installation without fail. We are sure that noone will turn up. The same thing has happend and noone came. We are seriously frustrated with this attitude of a World Class Brand (only for advertisements) and we are now seriously thinking as to canvass for never buy this brand of washing machine. We also are contemplating to go to the Media to lodge a public complaint as we have all the records supporting our frustration.

Service request no:[protected], i had purchased a bosch refrigerator but within one year refrigerator door magnet got damaged due to manufacturing defect and can't able to close the refrigerator door properly

I had informed the salem bosch service agency / engineer abt the repair in the month of march 2018, ie within warranty period, but no one had turned out and attended the repair

Now i have raised a service request in bosch customer care, call centre executive informs to pay rs 400 + & gst as spare cost and service engineer charges as 800 + gst

The machine is one year & 6 months old and the repair is due to manufacturing defect, moreover i had raised request with local service engineer for attending the repair in the month of march 2018, considering the above facts, pls waive off the spare & service engineer cost with applicable taxes and repair the door magnet with replacement on priority

I have raised a complaint for refrigerator cooling issue with complaint i'd _ [protected], [protected], [protected], [protected].
I received these all complaint no's since from last 1 month. Technician coming to check don't know about refrigerator as he was calling someone to know how to check and made statement saying they normally visit complaint for lg & samsung and are not aware of it. After few days same technician visited and replaced the fan wrong which he corrected on next visit again after few days. To check the fan he requires magnet which he asked us to provide and than he was not aware also how to use that on provided sensor lights which he again made a call and someone from other end was explaining the technician. Fan blades were replaced in wrong direction instead of throwing air in it was going out.
Conclusion is after almost one month refrigerator is not repaired and it is still in warranty. I was provided with mobile no of monal sharma & vivek from customer care stating i should talk with them to get my complaint resolved which also i have done from last 20 days still poor response and same technician.
If this is only the way bosch does with there customer than i m sorry i should put the same on social media and to all my friends and family circle explaining the way of service experience i got from a big brand.

Hi,

I purchased the Bosh Front Load washing machine in Oct'16 and the whole body of the machine is rusted and damaged.

Layers of metal is coming off and the issue is similar to the following complaint:
https://www.consumercomplaints.in/bosch-home-india-rusted-bosch-washing-machine-...⇄

Today I got you technician visited and he gave an estimate of around 60% of the total purchase value of the washing machine.

What is the use of installing high quality German machine in such a low quality housing and then charging enormous amount of replacing that.

I have extended warranty left for 2 more years but as per technician body is not covered in that.

I previously used other brands and never experienced such a body decay in such short duration.

I demand a free replacement with better quality housing.
I do not wish to write this complaint again after two more years.

Thanks,
Sushant

We have bought a washing machine from bosch and water went inside the washing machine after 1 week, due to kerala floods. We have called the customer care, they came, took photos and went. After that, there was no response from their end till now. We requested for replacement of the machine and we didn't got any response from bosch customer service centre. Please initiate replacement of the machine.

I have purchased the front loading washing machine wat28469in/04 from sargam electronics indirapuram on 12th september 2018 and within a couple of weeks o[censored]sage the machine is not functioning. It won’t run. The door lock would open on its own when start button is pressed and the lock symbol flashes, door lock is opened and the machine would give error beeps without running.

The machine stopped in the middle of the cycle without completing the rinse and spin cycle.

I had lodged the complaint regarding the same and the technician visited our place and on inspection suggested that the power module and door lock needs to be changed.

The machine if requires replacement of parts within a couple of weeks of operation is definitely a defective or refurbished or replacement product. It makes me feel cheated as after spending a huge amount of money to get a so called best in the market product i am here having to struggle for getting it in a working order.

The technician insisted that if the parts are changed it would work fine but i do not want to get the parts of the new machine change and would like to get the product replaced in entirety.

Raised the complaint to the customer service of bosch on september 27 but have not received any response towards resolution of the problem.
