PLEASE SEND THE GOOD AND PROPER TECHNICIAN

I bought my machine on 30/10/13, serial no.[protected], er no. wag14060in/4. the waranty expired on 29/10/15. two months after the waranty expired the machine stopped working. we called the company mechanic and he came and checked the machine. he then said that the electric digital board no more works and we have to get a new one. he then said that the board would cost rs.8000. i was quite shocked because this machine, this electric board, is supposed to last long and to replace it would cost a large amount. so i told the mechanic that i would have to think about it. he also said that the electric board would not have a waranty. so that means that if it breaks down after two months of installation nothing could be done about it. this is quite disappointing. now it is july and i decided to get, order, the new electric board. so i called the same mechanic and said that i would have a new electric board put in the machine and would pay for it when i see that the machine is working. now he says that the electric board would cost rs.10, 000! this is very unfair. but he agreed that if it works and we see it working then he will take the money. why does a good, or supposedly good, company make it so difficult for their customers who trust in them. now i am not able to contact the mechanic. please tell me what i can do in fairness. i am obliged to tell my friends, and others have told me the same, that it is better to buy an lg or ifb without these digital gadgets.
Please kindly help me.

I bought a bosch washing machine wab 20268in/01on 19/7/2014.
Warranty is till 18/7/2016.
My machine got rusted from inside and the paint started peeling de to oxidation of the metal body.
I made a complaint with the customer care and the service person name mr johnson attended on 24/5/2016. He said the rusting of metal body does not come under warranty.
I explained that i have been using other brand washing machine at the same place for many years before changing to this brand and also showed all metal items nearby painted kept in there have not rusted.
He said he will inform the company and revert back.
But to my surprise there was no response till again i made a call to the customer care referring the same.
Later on 31/5/2016 one mr sebastian attended and took photographs and videos to whom also i explained the same. He also said that he will inform the company and come back.
After several days when i mailed posted via the rating portal of bosch, this technician called me and said that rusting of metal body wold be charged.
I asked why should i be charged for a defective part from bosch.
I also said that the painting from other sides are also getting peeled off and asked for replacement or rectification - but till now there is no reply.

The company does not have proper technical support to handle the faults and repairs for the products manufactured by them. We had a dishwasher which could not be repaired by the service center team for more than 3 months even after taking the same to the service center. No communication from the service center on the status and no proper reply regarding the progress of the job. It was last stated that the spare part for this model is not now manufactured. How can the company sell the product if they do not have a proper road-map of providing maintenance support. Also the company charges Rs.800 for the service engineer site visit which is very abnormal while companies in similar class and product range charge only Rs.300 for a similar visit. The charges for the site visit is not commensurate with the services rendered. There are looting the customers in a big way and are only collecting huge service charges without rendering proper support.

On the new year day, we purchased Bosch Front Load washing machine. In last 6 months the machine has a perennial issue of E17 alarm. The pressure switch conked off and the same was replaced after a huge struggle. the same error started to appear no sooner than 1 week of replacement.
It is now more than 3 months the same is not set right. Not sure how to escalate the compliant as the emails sent the BOSCH Team has falling in dead ears. Can anybody help me in this forum?
But for sure my experience is extremely bad with BOSCH and will not buy or recommend anybody in future.

I had purchase a hob and built in oven from audio voice, gurgaon. When their technician came to install and unpacked, he found both were damaged - hob plate has stains on it and the oven is bent and scratched. Since, then, we have been going through hell running between the retail store and the company call centres. The retail shop is the most callous we have ever come across - they have got their money and promptly washed their hands. They are not even returning our calls. The company call centres only log the complaint - there is no assurance of any turn around time / money refund and they refuse to provide any details to enable escalation of complaints. Really sorry that i ever chose bosch and audio voice - would discourage everyone to stay away from them.

I purchased Bosch Avantixx Washing Machine WAS24460IN in 2014. It suddenly stopped working and the washing machine went completely dead (June 2016). I called the Bosch customer care and engineer who visited found that the power module of the machine has failed. The estimate price for the repair is close to Rs 15, 000/-. This is a very big amount to pay for the power module. These parts are not available in the market and Bosch is looting our money. They expect that the customers who have so much faith in Bosch to bear such high costs of repair which doesn't seem to be right. They are charging unrealistic amount of money for the repair.
I would suggest other customers to not buy Bosch products as they control the spare parts and charge very high premium for them. I genuinely want a reply from Bosch and want this issue to be resolved as soon as possible.

I have purchased a bosch fl w/m wab16260in on 15.08.2014 and the machine is under warranty. I made a complaint for service during march 2016 and the still they have not repaired/replaced the spares. I again made a complaint on 09.06.16 (Complaint ref no;[protected]) and still nobody bothered to contact me. I registered my complaint in their online portal and i received a simple acknowledgement and nothing else. The service call centre is very much unresponsive to my complaints and simply repeating my address and phone number.

According to their policy they said within 24 hour assistance, when we bought the product the customer care told 48 hours no it's more than a week.

This is not the first time i am suffering with this product one more time it has happened, it took 2 weeks for them to assist.

In conclusion, i wish that this matter will be settled immediately as everything that transpired has caused a great deal of stress and hassle on my part.

I look forward to hearing from you regarding this matter soon.

We purchased a Bosch Washing Machine on 14th May 2016 from Neeru Electronics on full Payment upfront.
We were sold a 2 year extended Warranty for Rs 1800 additional cost, which turned out to be an insurance policy meant for consumer finance cases by Bajaj Finance in tie up with Bajaj Allianz Insurance.
We realized it when checking it with Bosch representative, who visited our house for installation of the machine. This is fraudulent misrepresentation of facts and sold to us surreptitiously.
Now the Dealer is making excuses of various kinds and not refunding the amount - need cancellation of policy and refund of amount to us by the Dealer ASAP

I requested for service for refrigerator on april 2nd, but till now we didn't get any response from them. Even while delivering that product they provided dent refrigerator, and they informed that hey will replace it, but didn't get any replacement from them. The installment is not properly done. The retailer behave very rudely after purchasing a product. The product we received is not working properly.

Bought the machine just 2 years back and now they say the drum has failed and i need to pay rs 13500 for a replacement of the drum

I asked for a discount at the least as its only two years and they didnt agree... Finally i requested them to change the drum as early as possible and i ll pay so far there is no responses after a work order has been generated two weeks back

The work order no : [protected]...

I bought washing machine a month ago after 2 weeks we started facing problem. It was taking water and without washing garments after 4 min water gets drain. Did the complain in customer care center complain number [protected] and it has been more that 10 days no one has visited. Despite of calling again and again no one is there to attend. It is the scenario of ncr so god knows what about other parts of country. Will never buy or recommend this product. Pathetic sales service

Undersigned has purchased bosch refrigerator model no - kdn42al501/2012, 358 ltr, frost free from ahmedabad in the year 2013.

Later-on i shifted to rudrapur, uttarakhand in the year 2014. From 2015, i started getting problems in the fridge viz. Rubber bead getting loosened, freezer not working, less cooling in fridge.

Though issues were handled by bosch mechanic here but problems persisted. These guys even changed my gas in compressor, still cooling is stooping intermittently.

In addition, customer care of bosch has lot of issues:-
1. They seldom issues customer complaint no
2. Even if issued, the number is close in system automatically without consent of customer
3. Very slow mover, each of call takes atleast 48 hrs to address
4. Local team is not capable of handling technical issues, on the contrary they may damage the system

I bought Aqua tech 100+ car wash pump from ur showroom at Ludhiana two years ago.
I went there to get my gun repaired. I was told by ur staff that company stoped producing this pump and launched new one. So I can't get new gun for my pump.
I was shocked to hear that. It means I have to spend 10000 to buy new pump.
Tell me how will ur company survive in maket i[censored] don't provide parts to ur old customers. I[censored] can't provide service to ur old customers plz stop making false claims in ur advertisements.

I have purchased a washing machine (Model no wax18260 in/01 and fd/c no is 9112/00512) on 29/08/2012. On 28/04/2016 i have booked a complaint with the call centre and they told me that the service person will attend within 48 hours and i will be charged rs 800 as service charges.. The problem with the machine is, after switching on, the cycle comes to an end within 3 to 4 minutes and it has not displayed any error codes. Two persons came on 01/04/2016 and within a minute they showed me a error code e:21 on display and told me that the board has to be replaced which will cost rs9940 and if still the problem persists the motor has to be changed. I was really shocked to hear this, since i have already owned a siemens washing machine(Wm1000) which gave me 10 years of trouble free performance. I purchased bosch for rs30000 after exchanging that machine hoping that this will also last longer. The service persons filled out a form and demanded rs 800 as service charges which i paid after which they told me that i will get a call from the company. But in the service form they have written that the board is in short circuit and want to replace power module. I have attached the form here. Is this the bosch quality of service? Why should i replace a power module at this cost with just one month warranty? I am sure that the problem is not so big as reported by the service persons and they just want to make money.

This is with reference to bosch refrigerator.
3/11 (March 11th 2016) -the alarm started ringing continuously indicating there is some issue. We called customer service and filed a complaint and turned off the fridge . Ref no. [protected]. We had to make at least 10 - 15 calls to make sure a technician visited our house. The technician couldn't figure out the issue (The alarm stopped temporarily when we turned on) and closed the issue.
3/22 - the problem resurfaced and we opened another complaint. This time we realized cooling is not working. Ref no. [protected]. This time again, we made numerous calls, escalated multiple times. After four days someone visited our place. After couple of visits they figured out some components are malfunctioning and need to be replaced.

3/29 - opened another ticked ref no. [protected] and promised to get the parts in 2 - 3 days. We called several times to follow-up when no one turned up after three days. Now what we hear is, the part needs to come from germany and will take minimum 7 - 10 days.

Issue: lot of food got spoiled in the beginning due to cooling not working. We are with out a refrigerator for more than 10 days. Kids at home. No one seems to care. This is a high end refrigerator and bought it with lot of confidence in bosch company. No one seems to understand what we are going thru. If the parts can't be serviced from india, why are they selling the product in india ? If it takes weeks to repair, something like fridge which is an essential appliance, should they not arrange for an alternative ? Is this not minimum we expect from a world class company like bosch ? I can't even count how many calls we made in last two weeks to service center. So far i do not have any date when it will get repaired.

Next steps:
I need someone higher up to look in to this issue immediately and investigate service center operational efficiency and customer responsiveness. Want my refrigerator to be repaired asap or at least provide a back up. We can not pull this any further.
I plan to write to bosch ceo and make him aware of this issue and impact to the brand image.

The washing machine is under gurantee.have raised a service request as its the third time im getting the error.the service personnel have requested to clean off the filter pipes, to check the water pressure etc.its done and still error was seen.Now hez asking a service charge of Rs 800.So my question is under warranty period what do you people offer free for your customer.if its is something that needs to be added to the machine we can pay for that fitting.I could see this error reported by lots of people and solution was to remove the microswitch.check http://www.fixya.com/support/t1885650-e17_error_code for this.I want my machine to be properly taken care off.Can you do the needful
