IFB Industries Complaints & Reviews

I made complaint of front loading washing machine 15 day back through mail to [protected]@ifbglobal.com as there site for complaints is not working which I had been checking regularly. Their Help Care no. was contacted after lots of efforts and the response I got is horrible and fantastic. It seems to me that their after sales service is fraud. To-day there ad. is comparing IFB with the BMW which is in reality is bigger fraud. They seems to be behabing in a dada-giri manner. Is this the IFB.

IFB Pathetic Service Backup — Worst Service Back Up by IFB

I WANT TO ASSURE ANY PERSONNEL BUYING IFB WASHING BE READY FOR A LIFE LONG HORROR ORDEAL IF BY ANY CHANCE YOUR MACHINE REQUIRES ANY MAINTAINCES OR DEVELOPS ANY FAULT. ONE OF THE MOST PATHETIC PROFESSIONAL ATTITUDE OF ITS SERVICE PERSONNEL AND IN SPITE OF REGISTERING A COMPLAIN ON 20 JULY 2009 AS COMPLAIN NO 3277500 ON THEIR TOLL FREE NO[protected] THE IFB SERVICE PERSONNEL VISITED TWICE BUT COULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM DUE TO NON AVAILABILITY OF SPARE TILL 28TH JULY 2009 ( A SMALL PLASTIC HINGE WHICH CONNECTS FRONT LOADING DOOR TO MAIN BODY ) SO U CAN IMAGINE CONSUMER PLIGHT. I HAD MADE AROUND 30-40 CALLS TO STARTING FROM (AS PER HIEARCHERY CHAIN )

A) MR KRISHNA MADUKAR – AREA TECHNICIANS IN DELHI
B) ANIKTA
C0 MR MILAN CHANDELO
D) MR MIHIR KASHYAP I/C - DELHI AREA OPERATIONS
EVEN IN CALL CENTRE MR DEBASHSIS / MR JASBIR ALL TO NO AVAIL OR RESPITE
IF ANY PERSONNEL WANT TO BUY A IFB PLEASE CONTACT ME ON MY E MAIL BECAUSE IT IS NOT WORTH IF ONE HAS TO PUT SO MUCH EFFORTS AND UNDERGO SO MUCH PAIN IN LIASIONING WITH IFB REPS. THAT ALL IS FINE THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THAT THE REPS WHEN THEY KNOW THAT U R SPEAKING ABT THE PROBLEM WHICH THEY ARE UNABLE TO SOLVE THEY DISCONNECT THE PHONE WHICH IS REALLY SAD PART OF THE WHOLE ISSUE. ONE CAN IMAGINE SUCH FANTASTIC PROFESSIONAL SERVICE BACKUP BEING PROVIDED BY IFB IN HEART OF NATIONAL CAPTIAL NEW DELHI, SO ONE CAN IMAGINE THEIR PROFESSIONAL SERVICE BACKUP IN INTERIOR PARTS OF INDIA. JJUST NOT WORTH IT TO BUY IFB.

not attend my earlier coomplaints

I had lodged a complaint with M/s Mehta Enterprises, regarding my Washing Machine (IFB-Senorita Plus)on 16th April-2010 at @ 215 pm. I was assured that the service engineer would attend the call on 17th April 2010 between 1pm to 3pm. So, I cancelled my prior appointments just to ensure that I am available at home when the service engineers arrive so that their time and effort does not go waste. But to my surpise, they did not arrive.
The service engineer called me and informed his inability to come at the promised time due to some issue of his attending a meeting. So I called up the service centre of Mehta enterprises at THANE- on the ph.no.[protected] on 17th Apr-2010 at @ 3.55pm. After hearing 8-10 rings the phone was answered by a lady. When I inquired from her about my call history and on what date and time did I lodge the complaint with them, to my surprise, she was not having any details of the complaint. It is SURPRISING to note that they donot have a history of the complaints received and the answers given to customers over phone are 'RIDICULOUS' and 'STUPID' to the extent that 'I was on leave and someone else might have attended your call, hence I am unable to give the details of the nature of complaint logged by you.'
There is absolutely no system in place at all. Moreover, she was giving me the field engineer's cell number so that I would directly speak to him. If this be the case, then what for are the office staff for? If the call is taken by the office staff, then is not their duty to answer the queries regarding the call? What purpose is served by giving the service engineers cell no.? When I denied taking the service engineers cell no. and demanded that she shoud just give me the date and time when my complaint was received and the service date assured by them. I was given an assurance by the lady that she will revert to me in few minutes, but she did not revert back. So, after @ 20 mins, I called up again at 4.15 pm. Again the same reply that she will revert back in few minutes. Now it is 5.35 pm. Almost 95 minutes have gone by and I am yet to recieve the so callled "Reply' from Ms/ Mehta Enterprises' Office.
It is disgusting to know that this is the level of improtance given to the customers valuable time.
THE OFFICE STAFF IS ABSOLUTELY USELESS AND GOOD FOR NOTHING, to put it mildly.
It's a pity that a brandname like IFB is in the hands of such incompetent people, which is bringing disrepute to the company.

IF you are thinking to purchase any IFB Producr please think 1000 times before u purchase the product.

Here the After Sales service is just worst, employees dont know how to talk with the customers,
they dont know anything regarding their product, their Authorities are useless.

Only they want to make money through servicing their products every now & than, the best way to make money they have come with is their "AMC Plan" ( Bull ).

Dont dare to Buy any of IFB.

Dear Sir

My name is M.Sundara rajan cell no is [protected].

Past three months my washing machine is not working. My complaint number is 4720279
Every day i have the call to customer care .But it is 100% waste. My machine is in under warranty period
And i have 4.5 years Amc also. We are upset in this matter call center people don’t give any support. They are simply cheating me - transfer the call to the senior officer but nobody pickup the call. Kindly solve my machine problem Or Return back my machine and give the money back -with interest have to report [protected] But no use. and [protected] that is also no use This numbers are given by the call center people. I don’t know the IFB is working or closed. After one week i will return back the machine to Vasanth and co Thamparam .After 15 days i will take the support from consumer court

Our IFB washing machine has not worked for more than 2 months continuously (we use it only 10 days a month). The service staff only want to make money on the side. They do not honor the warranty, & even complaining to higher authority at IFB is useless. Basically a fraud company that shall soon close down.

Sir,

I am one of your customers who bought IFB washing machine of 5-kg Elena model in 2008.
I bought it from Bhilai Radio house, civic centre, Bhilai. (c.g.)-490001. Few back It gave trouble by leaking water from the bottom. I gave complaint to the shop. After two days your service person came & chacked. He informed us that the door rubber to be changed. Then we replaced the rubber & door also with the total cost around 2000. When it was running without load no water came out. Next day when we put clothes & start the machine again the water started leaking. Then again we gave compalint to the shop. There we talked to your service man Mr.Nasir Khan. His talking & response style made us very much annoyed. Right now machine is under leaking condition. nobody has not yet come. kindly enable us to rectify the problem & help us to free us from the service of such persons.
Thank you

Not Attending to Complaint
I registered a complaint for my IFB washing machine, which is under AMC. But to my surprise no one has attended to the complaint till date. whats more frustrating is that the customer care is least bothered with this and show a laid back attitude.

My complaint no is 2738806 and 2828214. My contact number is [protected], [protected], [protected].

IFB - Washing Machine — Leakage

I bought a washing machine of IFB make about 5/6 yrs ago. 2 yrs back it started leaking water and also giving toooooo uch sound towards the ending i.e. while spinning the clothes for easy drying. I called on my reseller. He could not solve it. Infact there is no service available for IFB in my entire rayalaseema zone of AP.

For the last 6 months I am suffering with the leakage problem.
I have complained so many times. The technicians do respond and visit but the problem remains the same.
Every time they look at the machine and say dont put too many clothes and go away.
After persistantly running after them they came and changed the rubber on the door. The problem still exist.
With only half the load the water is pouring out.
I am now out of the gaurantee period.
I receive calls for annual subsription.
I am just fed up.
either the technicians are useless or the machine.

IFB WASHING MACHINE — leakage

i have made complaint regarding leakage from the tub on 31.8.2010 but till no positive response have been given.our complaint no is 5026939

I purchased IFB Eva Sx Washing Machine on[protected]. On[protected] company technician came, gave Demo and the very First wash launched and he left my house.

After completion of wash, as per his instructions I tried to unplug the water pipe adopter. The whole adopter came out of pipe.I tried to fit it to pipe, but the screws are not working. I am not able to fit it.

On[protected] I registered complaint with company by phone.

On[protected] company technician came, examined and he said like this: THIS ADOPTER IS OUT OF WORK and THE COMPANY WILL NOT REPLACE IT AS IT WILL NOT COME UNDER WARRANTY/GUARANTY. I astonished after hearing these words.

I invested Rs 26, 500/- for IFB Washing Machine (including accessories)

I think I AM THE FOOLEST PERSON IN THIS WORLD WHO INVESTED Rs 26, 500/- for washing of just 5 pairs of dress.

worst service after sale

you are making fool to customer will take legal action

IFB WASHING MACHINE — Most Pathetic Service

I am from Mumbai. I brought IFB machine 2 months back and started experiencing problems. The Service centre is most worst part. Their timings: 12 noon to 6 pm. So I have ensure some one is available at home during this hours. Also they dont give any approx time about the technician's visit. So we have keep waiting for them. Quality of technicians are poor. The last time the technician handle the "Rinse" nob so badly that it has become un usable now.

Overall I very unhappy and would not recommend IFB to anyone.

I am under AMC (11.01.08 to 10.01 09), my complaint reg. no is 2109260 dated 25-8-08, for the past 14 days my problem has not been solved. The service agency XCELL CARE, CHENNAI -- 16 are cheating us every day telling that my problem will be solved that day. More when ever I call a service person they never attend my call and even if they attend they try to passify me for that moment and they never turn up. Even in your call centers the same is happening and they also protect them and not the customer. In this mail I have not mentioned any of your service persons name or mobile number (IFB and Dealer), if you require it surely it will be mailed by me to you. I hope that atleast now my problem will be solved, if not even then surely I will handle this matter leagly. (Regarding this complaint none of your ifb/service persons has not contacted me)
Thanking you

Dear

I wish to draw your attention on the pathetic service quality offered by your Ahmedabad branch and service provider M/s smile Care.

Fault no. 1 and apathy of Service branch
The first experience was on 4th August'08 when we lodged a complaint regarding malfunctioning of outlet hose of machine. After numerous follow ups and speaking to local service head Mr Mandar (who seems to enjoy Z category security as to speak to him i had to make no less than four phone calls clearly detailing every word i need to tell him), we were obliged by the services of a technician. He apparently had come to repair the machine but it appeared that he was more for marketing the Annual Maintenance contract (AMC )services.

Unique way of marketing by Service Provider leading to fault number 2
We were not very much convinced with his marketing and seeing our disinterest he managed to somehow make a small cut on the machine belt without our knowledge. after repairing (actually replacing) the outlet pump, he drew our attention to the "dilapidating" condition of belt and further insisted on AMC.

However we were not impressed. After about ten days the machine again conked off. With previous experience of service quality we acted "smart" and instead of registering compliant on call centre, we simply asked the service provider to come over for "discussing AMC" . Needless to say the service was prompt this time (Reason: To add one more AMC in their record). The belt was then replaced with full charges. We did not buy AMC again.

Later during discussions at home we pondered that perhaps the service response is bad due to our not being an AMC client. So we decided to take AMC and the same was done (AMC no. 3635 dated 11.09.08)

Fault number 3 and Goo[censored]ps at call centre
Our misfortune did not stop here. the machine running fantastic for past 3 years somehow got friendly with the technicians and again refused to start on 24th Sept'08.
With a presumption that we now being in the elite AMC club, we will be serviced fast, my wife called up the customer service[protected] and registered her complaint at 5:45 p.m. The soft spoken call centre employee assured her that somebody will attend in next 24 hours. No one turned up in next 24 hours we waited for another 24 hours
After 48 hours on 26th Sept08 i followed up by calling at same number and there was same response "somebody will attend in next 24 hours".
On 27th Sept i got little anxious seeing the huge pile o[censored]nwashed laundry at home. So i again called up at customer service and the lady gave me my complaint number and asked to contact the "service provider- M/s Smile Care".
Upon calling Smile care i was told that the said complaint number is of 4th august and the call has been completed.

Aghast.!!!... i called up the "customer service" again. Now the lad explained me as
"Sir. your complaint number 2240161 is dated 4th august and the same has been closed now. since we are not able to generate new complaint number till the time old complaint number is not closed we had simply put remarks in the old complaint only but it seems our service provider has overlooked and has "by mistake" closed the complaint. Anyway i am registering your new complaint, please take down the number as 2230568 dated 27.09.08, now somebody will contact you on Monday 29th Sept."

Service Centre adds fuel to fire
As usual and expected no one came on Monday, after follow up at service centre one technician turned up and detected that Motor is faulty and needs replacement and asked us to cough up Rs.4000/- as the machine is not under AMC.
My wife immediately called me up to inform this, in turn i called up at the local branch and somehow managed to speak to Mr. Mandar. I explained him the entire situation and told him that the only proof of AMC we have is the cheque number (amount Rs.1623) which has been debited from my account. However he was totally unaware of such transaction and assured me that he will look into.Later i was denied any contact with him by his phone operator.

Faulty recording by Service Provider
Meanwhile after my wife's arguments with the technician, he could find that the AMC is done but the machine serial number is entered incorrectly in AMC records. He returned saying that he will look in godown if the spare motor is available he will replace tomorrow or else we have to wait till a new motor is delivered in their godown.

Today on 30th when we called up at M/s Smile care, a lady called Ms. Praveena picked up the phone and responded in her mechanical voice "if the spare is available it will be done tomorrow" When we asked whether she can tell if the spare is available or will be available in near future She shouted on us and asked to call only after 4 p.m.

Betrayed Customer
Now, we do not know whom to complaint and what mistake did we do in spending those extra few thousands in buying an IFB machine instead of Videocon which is working without any fail for past ten years at my parents place.

Regards,

Gagan Bharadwaj

IFB is not a consumer oriented company. Their strategy is to outsource maintenance and make money in outsourcing. The outsourced maintenance companies force cuctomers to enter into AMC else machine lies unrepaired. Once AMC is awarded, be prepared to shell out additional 2000 Rs annually on one or other part which they claim has gone bad.
I had similar experience and company did not care to respond also.
I recommend STAY AWAY FROM IFB

i purchased IFB washing machine, Model-Executive Plus in nov'2007
since then I am facing a lot of problem.
The machine which vibarated at a very high speed and had problem while spinning was
finally replaced after 10 months on making numerous requests to do the favour.
replacement too was a long procedure.my machine was dismantled 10 day before i was
provided with the new one.sorry to say that but it was not the end of my miseries.

sir/madam, i was shocked to know that the replaced machine was used one and also had some problems.
i was proud to be one of the customer of such an esteemed organisation
and had high expectations regarding the product and the services, but all in vain.
presently both the machines are at my place and of no use.the incident has hurt us a lot.

I had registered a complaint with IFB on the 18th of November. I was informed that my machine would be attended within 48 hours. Six days have passed and today, the technician phones me and wants to know the nature of the complaint. When I lodged the complaint, I had given a detailed list of the problems that I faced with the machine. The same experience has been experienced by my niece and she too just want to get rid of her IFB washing machine. Once the technician comes to attend to the fault a big bill is thrust on the customer. Something has to be done to, since most of the IFB customers are at wits end. I personally recommend, " BUYING AN IFB WOULD GIVE ONE NIGHTMARES"

I have an IFB washing machine digital 7kg. It is still under warrenty.
Despite of multiple phone calls no one has attended the call.
Call centre is worst I have seen in last few years. No one picks up the phone. You will have to wait for minimum 15 minutes before someone attends your call. Even if you are connected, you will have tough time explaining and understanding the representatitves. Very poor communication skills.
First representative disconnected by phone in the middle of conversasion.
Second one gave me a complaint number with an assurance that someone will come to fix the problem next day.
One day later, another representative gave me name of local service station in Pune:
Enigma Enterprises contact number 65000201 cellphone number [protected] name of contact person
Param Yadav and his personal cellphone number [protected]. I was highly impressed with the details provided to me until I tried reaching them.
Enigma Enterprises does not exists in Pune. 65000201 is switched off, [protected] is switched off and My Yadav is not attending the call.
Next day when I again tried reaching call centre, I had to repeat the same story and this time I got a new number[protected] which is again not reachable.

THis is the worst after-sales I have seen. There are other pathetic service stations available but this one is the worst.

I will never ever recommend IFB products to anyone.

My IFB washing machine is under AMC. I am located in Noida. Repeated calls to the call center get the same stupid response that the complaint will be attended in 24 hrs. It's been more than a week and no service engineer has turned up. There is no higher authority with whom one can lodge complaint. The phone number of the service franchises for the area are not responding to calls. This is the worst service ever for any of the appliances that I own. IFB simply charges inordinately high AMC amount to customers and does not provide any service nor does it compensate in any way for its poor service. They should be made to refund the AMC amount along with punitive charges for irresponsible and fraudulent trade practices - their call center should be hauled up for being rude and irresponsive to customer complaints. IFB should be forced to recall all its defective products and refund the cost of purchase along with punitive damages.

Pethetic Service

Hi
we have an IFB front loading machine whcih has started malfunctioning. for which I feel shame due to poor service under AMC at Delhi. Mr Dubey (# [protected] ) never pick his mobile, who has done our AMC contract & he never try to conatct us . Our AMC yearly contact is of Rs 1700/- We tried the customer care numbers given on the brochure, but none worked. then we got call centre numbers from web sites of IFB. Again there is no response and at times we have to hang on for more than 10 minutes thereby wasting our calls. IFB, a reputed complaint has a very very shoddy customer care. They should wake up to this . If service is not given in one week, I am going to complaint in the consumer court for taking money in the name of AMC by frauding us

Hello,
I am going to take IFB Elina DX. Please tell me any body is it my decision is right or wrong.Because i heard many many complain about IFB regarding service. Please help me.

I have been trying to call your call centre since 3 day it keeps me on hold & my machine is spoiled I have an anual contract with your company & that place we do not work for IFB now we will charge you extra to come & visit & look into the matter

It is very unfortunate that IFB is providing a very poor customer service to its elite customers. Dealers are only interested in roping new customers without giving any notice to to service to the existing customers. The limit was crossed when the customer service agent himself was indulged in replacing duplicate spare parts, wherein IFB is advocating the use of genuine spare parts.
Myself too a victim of such an unprofessional servise as my IFB washing machine, SENATOR 6 KG got some technical snags . Upon informing the customercare service, the agent responded and upon examining the washing machine he declared that the control circuit plate was defective and need replacement. As the equipment was under warrenty period the services were provided, but to my dismay the washing machine again got the same snag after few months. Again the service centre agent did the same thing. Interestingly the defect resurfaced third time.Upon going in the issue deeply, i found that the spar part he was replacing was actually duplicate. When I enquired about the details the agent turned up hostile and didnt responded properly. Seeing the situation even the dealer of the washing machine washed his hands off. I can proivide the details of this case if some body is interested.My contact no is [protected].
Such a poor customer service is just keeping others at bay from buying such an elite product because after all, after sale service matters a lot.

I have purchased IFB washing machine Senator 6 kg fornt loading machine last week. Before buying the machine i enquired from many of my friends and collegues abuout the performance of the machine. The report from every one was extreemly positive. However many of the intenet sites on custormer feed back was extreemly depressing. So far the functioning of the new machine is just excellent. But i may have to see its functioning in the long run.

I have the same problem. My washing machine is under warranty. The engineer could not figure out the problem and tried to repair somehow and now, it is a dead piece of equipment. The engineer stopped coming. The service centre now-a-days after hearing the complaint no. disonnect the line. Please be very careful in buying IFB products. After sales service just does not exist in this company.

This is reg complaint number 3587861 dated 06/10/2009.
Though the complaint has been raised on 06th, no resolution has been provided yet. The technician (Anil Kumar) who attend on 07th has isolated the issue to be with motor and said that needs to be
replaced.

My machine is still under warranty.The technician was so irresponsible that he didnot place a order for motor replacement immediatly. When we contacted customer care, they asked us to contact the area sales manager Mr. Srinivas. When contacted Srinivas he refered Mr. Dharini Kumar, who said that the technician has placed an order after 3 days of his visit.

When contacted Dharini kumar yesterday (22/10/09), he said motor has been couriered and waiting for technician as the technician is on leave.Today being 17th day after lodging the complaint, issue has not been solved. None of the above (Dharini Kumar or Anil Kumar) is not picking the call today.

THIS IS VERY REDICULOUS AND PATHETIC SERVICE OF IFB.

i have similar problems with IFB !! will never buy any products from the company !! THEY SU*K in complain resolving ...

Dear sir,

I have purchasec IFB alite 5 Kg machine 3 years ago. The machine is under AMC after expiry of warrenty. During Septmber 2008 one IFB technician has come my resisdence and said he has come check the washing machine as a routine check. He has opened the top and checked some thing and suggested us to take a desalination unit costing Rs. 1, 800/-. We thought this will improve the perforamance of the machine and purchased the same.

After some days we noticed the machine is not working properly. In cold position water is heated and spoiling the cloths. We gave a complaint and after great struggle the technician has disconnected the heating element (thermostat) time being and we are able to wash the cloths in cold state.

Subsequently the technician, on several reminders to the local serviice manager has replaced the thermostat. We thought that the unit will work alright. On 25.12.2009 complaint[protected] when we washed the costly cloths in cold position all the cloths damaged due to abnormal heat generated even though the knob is in cold position. We understand that the technician has done nothing but simply replaced the thermostat.

With great difficulty and a technician has come to me residance and replaced the thermostat. Since I am a technical person I throughly monitored the work carried out by the service person. There are three pins on one side of the thermostat. out of these three middle pin was left vaccant and ist, 3rd pins were connected. earlier also the thermostat was in this state. I did not leave the service person and demanded a demo wash of the machine. Fanally he has atempted a cold wash.The situation is same as before replacing the thermostat.

Service person has contacted some body at Visakhapatnam and changed the connection of the pins . Now the 2nd and 3rd pin were connected. Machine is running aslright.

This shows the ignorance of the service persons on both the occations who attended my IFB Washing machine. I understand that the service person who visited during Sep 08 without any complaint, has disturbed the connections and he might have faced some problem while attending to some body's machine and for clarification he might have cross checked my wiring of the thermostat. To justify his visit he has told that he has come on a routine check.

The ignorance of the service person has damaged my costly clothe and has caused much inconvenience. I demand Rs. 10.000/- as compensation for the damage occurred by IFB people. I prefer to approach consumer form for justice if the compensation is not paid immediately.

IFB service point is just 0.5 km from my residance and never attended to the complaints immediately. Every person from IFB service feels that he is attending the complaint on obligation and never feel that it is primary reponsibilty.They are discurtious and treating the customer as illetarates and as service persons are highly qualified. This type of attitude is not correct.

I am a post graduate Teacher working in Pondicherry. My customer ID NO. is 426431
I had great faith in IFB. But now I am frustrated with your customer care service. When my digital washing Machine developed a snag, I was informed that the circuit board had to be replaced. . But to my dismay after the lapse of 2 weeks of my complaining the machine had not been repaired yet though it is on AMC. The service centre blamed the company for not sending the spare. Unless you care for the customer how can we trust IFB in future?

At the time of buying the digital machine, the salesman elobrately pointed out the advantages. But now the mechanics criticize the machine as it developed snags during rainy season. Why don't you find out a long lasting solution to this drawbacks. I sincerely expect a quick response from you.

Dear Sirs,
I have purchased IFB washing machine, but machine is giving trouble continously, so many time I have complained to IFB company but as and when yr Representative visiting, charging Rs.200/= which is not justify, if minor defect is their yr rep has to repaired it at free of cost. Service is very very poor, being a purchase officer at ONGC I will not recomend to purchase IFB make any product, my self and my friends has purchase IFB fully Auto washing machine, both facing lot of problem. We both will not recomend to purchase IFB machine even to our relatives and friends. very very poor service.

I did find their customer service number but of no use... they then give u the franchisee number and ask u to follow it up...

I live in Aligarh(UP).I had complaint(Comp.no 3040228) of my microwave on[protected], its in the warrenty period.Daily i m calling on their service center at().many times i had talk with their officers (Mr.Sumit-[protected] and Mr Chandan Singh -[protected], head of customer service-UP Region ) but not get any proper responce.
Numbers of any higher authorties are not available
many times on their website i had complaint but no response i got.
their products are worst
their licence should be cancelled.
they dont take customers compalints seriously.

Similar ex[perience I am also havin. For the last 4 days I am also trying hard to get my complaint regarding IFB Washing Machine attended. But to no avail. Same (Mr?) Chandan Singh and (Mr.?)Sumit are proving to be elusive

IFB is rouge company, consumer should avoid to purchase product of IFB, but is is surprising that CROMA (a TATA subsidiary) is selling product of such disgusting company like IFB. you should immediately approach consumer forum and complaint against IFB as well as CROMA

i agree and one should take strict action against such poor company who fails to deliver after sale service and harassing consumer, must file complaint against IFB as well as CROMA for cheating in the name of after sale service

Consumer should beware of purchasing any IFB product, but i am not able to understand why Tata is selling this product under its company CROMA, IFB is running name of CROMA also

Hello All,

Below Mail I sent on 27 Spe2010 to IFB but didn't recieved any reply, Even I faced the same problem when my micro wave 30SCR1 is out of order,

I bought a dishwasher on 25 Sep. 10, Saturday from next and raised the installation request # 5169833 on same day, Customer Care executive told us that the request should be completed within 24 hours. After passing the SLA time (24 hours) I called to customer care and they told that Service Centres are closed on Sunday, so by tomorrow yours complaint should be completed.

As the IFB service centres are closed on Sunday so I took first half leave on Monday so that my installation will be done and at 10:00 AM I called to IFB Gurgaon Service Centre (Surya Electronics) on[protected], 4080532 talk to Miss Neeraj & Engineer Mr. Ashish and requested to complete my installation before 01:00PM and I told them that I am on half day leave, I have to reach my office at 01:30 PM and need to punch my card otherwise I’ll not get the pay of my second half. They replied that they will complete this before 01:00PM and engineer will reach to yours home within 1 hour but unfortunately at 11:00 AM the engineer didn’t reach me.
I called again there and ask when he will be in to my house? They replied Sir with in an hour he will be there.
Again at 12:15 PM I called and asked already 2 hours are passed when should I expect the engineer at my home? They replied that “Sir, we are issuing the accessories to the engineers and he will reach you in half an hour.”

Unfortunately the Engineer reached to my home at 01:10 PM and completed the demo at 01:45 PM.

If you feel that the customer time is important then please answer the below questions:

In NCR 80% couples are working in private MNCs and they have off on Saturday & Sunday, even a survey says that in NCR 70% of shopping is being done on weekends, so why IFB service centres are closed on Sunday? Why not like LG, Sony, Whirlpool, Kent has their weekly off on Monday or Wednesday?
If your service centres are closed on Sunday and you have lots of calls & load on Monday, so why you are issuing the accessories (parts) to engineers at 12:00 NOON so that he will start the calls at 01:00PM?
Why the IFB services Centre Engineers are not work after 06:00 PM?
Who will be responsible for delay of my Dish Washer installation & for my second half off? Who will compensate.

we had no problem with them in past although major repair work of rs.3500 was carried out in 2007 .payment was made only after doing job and rendering service.
pl look into matter

Dear Sir,
on 10th March 2009 I lodged a comlaint about my wasing machine against your Ticket No. 2806455.Your Service Engineer visited my house and was more interested in selling the Washing Powder, which he did, instead of attending to the machine.
He promissed to visit again within 2 to 3 days with part which was to be replaced on Payment Bases.
We are still waiting for the gentleman to turn up and fix the Machine.
He was very quick to fool my mother by selling the washing powder but lacked the commitment to resolve the Problem.

This is not expected from a company like you.You must attend to the needs of your customers who are dependent on you for service.I hope you understand.
Kindly treat this very seriously and set the machine right otherwise I will be left with no option but to take a firm legal action against you, because I have paid to you for extended warrantty and service while Purchasing this machine.

with regards
Kunal Kaul

Dear Sir/Madam,

IFB / AW 60 - 8061 — Defective part replacement not done

Hi, I had logged a complaint on 23rd march I believe but i got a message on 1st April with the complaint no 2881321 and 2nd April I got a message stating that the issue has been fixed and the call is closed. Then I called up the local IFB franchise and engineer came to my home and took the board for replacement since it is under warranty period. But till today there is no proper response from the franchise. I spoke to the Md of that franchise even though no proper response. They are extending the date like the parts will be coming with in two days like that. I totally fed up with the service providing from IFB and I will not go for IFB for future requirement. I never saw such worst service from any vendor. Almost 20days over but still they are extending the days for part replacement. I will wait till Friday 10am if the parts not replaced then i will to consumer court for the said issue.

IFB — Regarding servicing of senator ifb washng machine

i purchased machine from PAtiala 2 years earlier. But i have clalled the srvice centers at Ludjhaian for servicing of the machine and also called the company. But still no response.

I had a similar problem with my belt and is also in the AMC currently with IFB. Still the service executive told me to pay Rs. 580 for the belt. I asked for the receipt of that payment so he said he cannot give the receipt. How can you trust about the price of the part if there is no receipt.
Also, the part are not avalilable seperately. I think i made a huge mistake of life by purchasing IFB product.
Shouldn't they charge me Rs. 320 alone as i am already under the AMC?

The undersigned is an extremely dissatisfied customer .

The afore mentioned machine purchased is not over one year of completion wherein I have had the following complaints .

1) The switch has fused more than 3 times.
2) The drum is leaking
3) There is vibration in the machine and the machines moves 2-3 feet from its position.
4) Further, every time a complaint is registered & attended to the service station company fails to give me a copy of the same. Despite, having asked them repeatedly and even speaking to some of your top brass heading Kerala State for IFB. This has become a game of eye wash.
Sincerely hoping that the company takes immediate action and replaces the machine.

One fully automated washing M/c Make siemens Model No.WMA07165
E .No. WMA07A165IN/17, Serial NO.[protected] had purchased on 25/03/2009 from M/S Vijay Electric Company, Jawaharlal Nehru street, Pondicherry and dispatched without showing condition of the purchased product.

On 28/03/2009, one person introducing himself as service engineer belonging from siemens home appliances (Pvt) Ltd, came in person to install the washing M/c and also to demonstrate the above while opening of the pack before installation, the service engineer saw the top of the washing M/C got damaged due to whatever reasons.

The service engineer installed the above and demonstrated how to use the washing M/C despite the piece in damaged condition with the assurance given by him to change the damaged top cover. Till now, the dealer/ Service engineer neither replace the top cover nor replace washing M/C.

Meanwhile, I approached the dealer several times regarding replacing the washing M/C but ended in vain.

Therefore, I request you necessary arrangements may be made to replace the washing M/C at the earliest.

Your kind co-operation in this matter is highly solicited, unless favorable to me I will go to consumer court.

Dear Sir,
I have purchased IFB Elena from Pune dated (1st of May 2009), but the demo and installation of

they are not giving spares to individuals with proper receipt .
They are charging huge lprice for the spares.

I donot understand why the IFB is not willing to make available washing machine spares as belt when there is no necessity of serviceman at costomer end.AS such company is enforcing to gain extra charges for home visit to fix the spares as belt too.

Special attention may be given to the requests of, where both of them are working.

Still the drum noise is there. IFB may depute its rep. for rectification.

SOME BODY HELP ME.

the automatic circuit board has been damaged.so can i get your asistance by your mechanic as early or where can i get spare in chennai?attend urgent

Hi,

I'm also facing the same problem with IFB Washing machine. I've lodged a complaint on[protected] and am yet to receive a response. The mart people are also not responsive. The customer care executive at Reliance Mart is not even willing to give me the contact details of the representative from IFB. I really wonder how such a reputed brand can be so indifferent towards customer complaints.
Instead of going by the brand, I now feel that it is always wise to choose a brand after checking the availability of service centres in the vicinity. Else we may have to face such problems, irrespective of the brand.

Let us see how long it takes for my Washing machine to come back to shape.

Hi, I would like to know the price of 'Motor Speed Control unit' [Common]..

IFB WASHING MACHINE — change of parts

its has already been 2 weeks since i am calling the appointed agency ie rachna agencies for the replacement of tumbler in my washing machine but no one is over there to attend it.dont know what to do kindly advice.
thanking you
mazhar malak

The same irritating customer care by IFB, they don't give the price of the spares, they don't give the spares, they don't give the address of their distribution office. They send people to loot. I doubt whether is there any sense in buying IFB.

Sorry for the long story but worth reading if you are going to buy IFB. This is on both the Speed Control Board & Soinoid valve on 2 nos of Senorita Plus purchased within a span of 2 yrs. You might be thinking I am a fool to do so. But I learnt the lesson the hard way.

Firstly I had a problem with the solinoid valve. Service engineer attended within a week to see what happened. He said that Solinoid valve(The automative valve for the water inlet) needs replacement. To my surprise this happened within months after the warranty(I am surprised because exactly the same problem I encountered with another machine of the same model in my uncles house). They say he valve the service charge togather would cost you around Rs. 800(This happened more than 1.5 yrs ago, sorry if the price is wrong). However he said he will bring the part and fix it. The service engineer never turned up even after many call to him or his manager(I struggled a lot to get this phone number). Finally when I contated the manager, he said that there is no stock. This went on for 5~6 weeks and always the same reply.

After waiting for so long, as the valve was normally open and it not closing automatically, I was using the water connection by ensuring the water supply manually. This was working and one day I noticed a spark with some noice and the machine stopped.

I registed another complain in addition to my existing one to attend to this. This time the service engineer took few weeks but came back with the solinoid valve. However he told that the Speed control board is now burnt and needs replacement and it costs me Rs. 1600+service charges. I was really frustrated and asked him to leave my machine as is and go.

I am a mechanical engineer by profession. I did some study with the help of my friends and leart that one relay is burnt aling with small amount of the track on the speed control circuid board. At the end Lot of Hard work to investigate the problem it costed me Rs.25 + the soldering charges(I gave 100/- as he did a good job on the damaged track).

I know every one can not do the hardwork I did, but everyone can easily understand the difference between Rs. 25 & Rs. 1600/-.

I wish all the good luck to those who by anything from IFB.

IFB Washing machine/Elite 5 kg — Machine not working even after changing motor

I made complaint to IFB call centre on March 14, 2010 for my washing machine/ELITE 5 kg which was not drying clothes. It was attended next day and person informed that motor has to be replaced. He changed the motor today and I also got one year AMC done and paid all together a whopping Rs 6643/- (Rs 4216/- for motor) for both. But the same problem still persists. Machine is not drying the clothes even now and one more problem has been added after this motor replacement that it has started making mysterious noise. This mechanic came form SURYA ELECTRONICS (An authorized IFB service provider). Now I sincerely doubt whether that person caught the fault at all or just unnecessarily changed my motor which has costed me so huge. Motor might have been ok and there might have been some other fault. I am trying SURYA 's telephone number but no number seems to work; whether it is a landline or a mobile.

I feel helpless and disgusted and dont know what to do so that problem is solved without any further agony to me

hello to all IFB sufferers,
i am also one of the IFB victims from Mumbai.
i own wash machine sinorita since 3 years. and from month one the machine started giving trouble.though the machine was under annual maintainance contract for two years; some major parts had be replaced quiet a couple of times. For the third year i declined the fruitless and pathetic AMC offer.
my grief is same as others. IFB"S SERVICE AND THEIR POOR PRODUCT. its pathetic. while lodging complaint once out of other numerous times i had also heard an excuse in rude and blunt tone at 3 pm that "i am having lunch, call later". After which the call went unanswered over and over again.This is a kind of profeciency IFB has while handling the complaints.
i feel as troubled consumers we must flood the IFB email box with our complaints as well. i have no clue if any IFB personnel is sorting these complaints at consumercomplaints.in
My advice would be get rid of this self-bought trouble named IFB wash machine somehow, and switch over to another brand with a good service. unless their sales get affetcted company is not going to wake up.
best luck and happy washing.

IFB WASHING MACHINE — no replacement of required spare part

I put in a complaint about a bad noise in my machine and the mechanic came on Thurs 15th April. He promised to come the next day with the required spare part .

Today is Monday the 19th and I am still waiting after having made 2 more complaints. I finally got the phone nbr of the Vadapalani office(Chennai) and spoke to a Ms Radhika who promised to get back asap.

At 10.30 a Mr Velu called me back(The first return call from IFB) and gave me a long story about how the part has to come from Goa!! Finally after I had shouted a lot , I got another number of a Mr Saravanan who has now said someone will come by 3pm. All this has happened because I yelled and screamed over the phone at various people and who knows if someone will really come? In my 65 years, I have not had to do so much yelling. Tell me what exactly you mean by CUSTOMER CARE?

I am unable to get a service station in Assam. When I called up the IFB consuler helpline they gave me two disfunctional numbers. They never had one for Guwahati. They gave one for Dibrugarh and they gave me a another mobile number for their office in Kolkata. The mobile never worked. Why sell when you can't service???!!!

Infact I have always had problem in Hyderabad AP as well. They never return the So called worn out part and claim damadges worth half the cost of the machine.

Disgusting company this IFB!!

what is the price of motor speed control unit?My washing machine is IFB Senorita plus.

IFB WASHING MACHINE DIGITAL — INDIFFERENT ATTITUDE OF IFB CENTER

The service rendered by the organisation is not upto the mark,it is seen that the complaints are never attented and the couldent careless attitude has become dominent with this organisation.The after sales and service deparment seems to have persons recurted to only haress and drive customers away from repurchase or recommemding this organisation.
The senior managers exsit only on papers for they are NEVER AVAILABLE THE MOBILES ARE SWITCHED OFF and landlines GOD BLESS .
TO CUT SHORT HITLER WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD TO HAVE THE PERSONS IN THE SERVICE DEPARMENT IN HIS TEAM

IFB WASHING MACHINE DIGITAL — Non compliance of complaint noted on 29/09/2010 video No.:- 5178072

I had purchased IFB Front loaded Digital- 7Kg. washing machine on 02/01/2008 from Reliance Retail Ltd. Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Its article code is Fan Code:[protected].

I have extended warranty of the said Washing Machine from 02/01/2010 to 01/01/2012 vide card Sr.No.13318.
My genuine complain is non locking of door. I had complained to your call centre on 29/09/2010 vide complain no:5178072. Call centre had given promise to attend complain within 24 hrs.

After several reminders & follow up to call centre, a technician Mr. Desai from Vaibhav Electronics had attended on 06/10/2010 & Found door switch is to be replaced. He promised to change as early as possible. I waited for two to three days & again remind to call centre team leader. He replied that he had put urgent massage.

I would like to explain with great sorrow that not a single time the number 30002153, 30005412/13 & [protected], given by call centre, was responding. Personally my son had visited three times at Vaibhav Electronics, for non-compliance of complain. They have referred IFB Service centre, Ahmedabad. Personally my son had visited the same. Also, on Phone no: 30189467, I had talked with Girishbhai of IFB Service centre, Ahmedabad on 13/10/2010. He, after confirmation with his service Executive- Yogita Madam, promised me that the technician had already been allotted the task to solve your complain today only. Technician Shri Gulab Jaishwal had visited my home & said that he belongs to different agency & for spare it will take three- four more days. I again dialed to Girishbhai & mention the details then he turned his stand that he had not given promise to change the pants.

Sir, till writing this I have no solution. Daily I have to pay Rs.50/- for washing the clothes. In addition we feel great harassment. Why I should not file legal suit against your company for harassment?
Hoping for your immediate action for compliance of complain & compensation.

I am a proud ownwer of IFB senorita plus which was working smoothly for the last 9 yrs.
After going through all the complaints, i feel pity on the company's after sales division. The following suggestions are given below for the consideration of IFB Management which may surely rebuild the transparency of the cost of the spares and service charge. I am happy to find from the official site of IFB abiut the service charge to be paid in different locations based on the status of the city.I appreciate the concerned for publishing it.As IFB is the Popular and pioneer brand in the frontloaded machines, many may be looking for replacement of the spares due to ageing.Hence it is the high time to publish the actual price of the various spares and list of the stores with address.
I am also a victim who lost huge money due to the wrong handling of the machine during the service by the service technician.I informed the service technician about the excess sound due to the damaged bush of the motor.he came and replaced the bush and after the service when we started the machine with load we observe water is leaking from drum.Whiile removing the fixing bolt of the motor he could have damaged the drum by his bad workmanship.Now I am helpless and want to replace the whole setup with huge cost for the spare.If the mange ment is interested in customer care kindly take immediate steps to improve the after sales service with moderate charges and making available of the spares at reasonable price..
Thanks and reagrds

IFB machines are good, if you are lucky to get a good piece, but if you need IFB after sales service, i can assure you, its very expensive, opaque and useless.
Question is, which company has good after sales service, because i would rather buy a more expensive machine, as long as the after sales service is first class.

best wishes,
samir.

wats the cost of washing machine handle cost
can usend its price list to the my maiil its [protected]@gmail.com


its a 6 k g wasing machine

my wasing machine handle is broken wats the cost of handle and lock

The same complaint, i was in need of belt for my senorita plus and there is no other problem with my machine, IFB care is asking us to pay service charge Rs.300 + tax. The cost of belt is Rs.580. IFB should redeem their rules and policies. Customers should be flexible to get spare parts as if they require.

vimal

service under AMC is pathetic!

I had to call up the service agency for nearly two weeks repeatedly to get them attened my problem. The technical who came replaced the rubber belt and billed me Rs. 650 for that, i really don't know this part cost that much! and after that he told me that the machine has to be descaled and I agreed. For descaling he charged me another Rs.750 .When asked, he told me that he had used 5 packets of descaling powder costing rs. 150 each. I feel that the service agents are capitalizing on customer's ignorance..!

Binu

If IFB is good, then all their product must be good. No point in saying if theres luck we get a good piece !!!

I dont think the executives who turn up to our homes are genuine as they give different rates and to my surprise even the customer support team support them !

IFB - Senator Washing Machine — Non supply of spares and parts (belt)

Dear sir,
I purchased one washing machine of IFB-Senetor from M/s Union Radios, Jhansi on 03.10.2011. The dealers (M/s Union Radios and AMC dealer Mr. Mubeen Khan Jhansi) of the company have not attended my complain regarding repair and maintenance of the washing machine after expiry of the AMC on 03.10.2008. As such I got the washing machine repaired from the local market. Now the dealer and representative of the company M/s Bharat have denied to supply the belt required for repairing of the washing machine which not readily available in the market. As a result my washing machine remains out of order since last one month. I made several complaint with the dealers of the company and representative of the company. None of them have responded more than one month passed. I also complained on company website on 08,09 & 11.11.2011. But no fruitful result achieved till date. I request you to kindly intervene into the matter and take remedial action at your end.

IFB WM Executive Plus — Water automatically in

Sir,


IFB WM Executive Plus automatically water in while machine ON/OFF and some time water pump not working.

My Mother-in-law had purchased a washing machine from IFB 2 years before. We used it only for 3 - 5 months and when my moth-in-law had cancer, my wife had moved to her house and for 1 and half years she did not use the washing machine. Now the water inlet value does not work and I had called the guy 2 months back. IFB guy came and estimated the cost to be Rs.1500/- plus service charge. I had asked him to go ahead with it, but untill now there is no response form IFB. The most stupidest service ever. My cousin has also similar exprience with IFB front loading. The quality is so bad that after warrenty period we have to chenge every spare. now in 4 years she has changed everything, even the cabin.

I would strongly recommend that we need to raise this concern in the cunsumer court and stop such brands from our country. Make customer satisfaction important like in US/UK or any other country.

Regards,
Darius

I am using IFB MODEL AW60-8061 AT MUZAFFARPUR BIHAR, Please let me know the price of spin moter.because your service man charged Rs.1431 without any othorised bill.so in this regards please call me [protected] or mail [protected]@yahoo.co.in for the same.

May I know the price for IFB washing machine valve

I have one IFB Elina purchased on 2004. It was used for 1 year and kept unused for 3 years. On 4th year when I have started every thing was ok . after using fo 6 months, it has given some problem that suddenly it was stopping while running, then we have to switch off for 30 minutes to start again. I have contacted the service center, they responded and sent the person. The person told the motor, circuit board, sock-absober are damaged, and it will cost 5000. I have checked with him to change only circuit board and try. He has not agreed. He has given one suggestion to go for 3 year amc for 5000 so that he can repair it in free of cost. I choosed the 2nd option. After paying for AMC, they have replaced the circuit board only. Now the machine is running fine for last 2 years. Regarding AMC no person contacted or not yet turned up till today for regular checkup or service.

I do not know what I should do if there will be some problem, I may have to pay more.

How many price of ifb elena washing machine's internal valve code are 329203

I own a Senator for the past five years. First and foremost, IFB customer service sucks. I am an electronic engineer by profession and I understand what might go wrong in a circuit. Not more than 50/- bucks part for which IFB charges 1500/- + service charges. Their technicians are no more than highschool grads. They fit old parts. When asked, they say Senator is out of market and so parts were purchased a long time back and so they look old. Absolute nonsense. In the past one year I have spent 15000/- rupees to get my perfectly working machine repaired. Firstly the motor went off. Then the belt. Then the seal rubber. Then the shock absorbers. Then the MCU. The door lock. And finally unbelievable, the Gear Board. Apart from the body, there is nothing left to change. Now I cannot sell the machine as no one would offer me more than 2000/- bucks and I have spent more than the price of the machine. I would not recommend IFB to anyone. They have completly lost their brand.

I have a similar experience where my ifb washing machine stopped working. I called the technician and I was told that the speed control board is damaged and needs to be replaced. He said it ill cost 5500. He brought new board but failed to show me MRP for the same. I came to know that the board actually cost 1500. This is the height of nonsense charges that do and completely make fool of the customer .. There is absolutely no transparency and trust. The IFB call center itself is not very helpful. Guys if you are reading this please be vary of the fraud practices which is giving IFB a very bad name.

I have a similar experience where my ifb digital 6 kg washing machine stopped working. i called the ifb technician he came and check the machine & say that speed control board + balancing + doors lock is not working all parts is replace this cost is 5600/- this parts warranty is 6 months . + 2 yrs amc is 6500/- total cost is 11000/- this is very high charges .I tell the guy that i buy such costly machine. then why such machine is stop working . he say that you buy as costly as . then pay as much as. & this machine is not as good as other.if we buy so costly machine . & we thing that machine is working properly but end of day every people is same .

I have a bad experience with IFB. The water did not drain from the machine. I complained to customer support and two support technicians visited next day. Before checking the machine, they said that the drain motor has to be replaced. I asked them to check first and then suggest solutions. Within few minutes, they found a socks in the drain pipe. The total service time is less than 5 min and they charged me Rs.400. Though it was my mistake that I should have checked properly, charging this much for no service is a pathetic support from IFB.

Today the water was not coming to the detergent box. I opened the machine myself and found the problem is in one of the water inlet valve. I swapped the inlet power connections as a temporary fix to get water in detergent box. I can replace the valve myself but I fear that I may not find the replacement in retail shops. Definitely I am not going to loose my hard earned money to worthless service.

I am using ifb Elena since last 3 years.i have used this machine hardly for 10 times in 3 years.Machine had a problem recently.i had booked a complained.Technician came to my house & asked for guarantee card & receipt.I did not get the receipt at home.Technician has refused to give service unless we pay service charge & spare part money.i am sure company has all record about manufacturing & when it sold to dealer & customer.How ever just trouble the customer they don't give service.I have many other product from L.G .Samsung where i never had such type of problem from them.
I feel customer should not buy product if company refuse to give service or spare parts with proper receipt.

I have purchased IFB machine model No AW60 -8061 in 2008. Machine had a problem so I called IFB service center (Laxmi Nagar delhi) to see the issue, after examine the person said you need to change shoker's and gear box as both are worn out, I asked for the cost of same for which he replied to be 8000/-Rs. I have just check online the price of same new machine is Rs 12250/-.
How this is possible.

I feel people should buy such product whose spare parts are too costlier.

is not that i have totally been relied on that shopkeeper, i did call IFB person to come and fix the machine, he did nothing new and spent all of his time on a call talking to someone what to do and how, when asked if he is new he said no body buys this washing machine and he has no experience of this machine.

We bought the elena washing machine for 4 years ago and it went faulty frequently.
Every time the service person changed some parts and collected more that 1.5K every time from my parants(Happend 4 times)
It went faulty again and the service person says there is fault in the timer which costs 3912 rupees.
No clue what to do.
Very very very bad customer service and service team (They just loot the money)

arasu

Spare parts cost is very high and we don't no the sparepart condition when ever we called the service engineer every time he change the any one of the part related to the machine I buyed this mavhine(eLENA model) ON SEP 2008 till now i spend the repair cost and descaling cost nerarly 6000rs.Currently another repair is going on expected cost is 1600rs.

If this is the case I plan to resale or through the machine and by new machine with another manufacturer.

Srinivas rao

bad experiance with IFB regarding the spare parts and AMC if AMC is there why should we pay for spare parts cost for such a small period of 6years . that showes the manufacturer have no confidence of their spares like soilnoid valves and other rubber parts which are not effect the over load . If motor fail we can ubderstant that may the mistake of the end user but solinoid valves and rubber parts not relat to over load.

but these are also fail freequiently.

a complaint with the customer care.Next day a guy came from the service centre and told me that i have to take amc so that the cost of the spare parts would be less and he estimated the cost as 7500 including the amc.He took 4000 from me to cover the amc and advance for the parts, i got it changed after a week and number of calls.Finally after changing the drum, bearing and the rubber sleeve the mechanic gives me a bill for 3500 which does not mention the rates of individual parts or the service charges and i got to know from the mechanic that the cost of spare parts are covered by amc only after 20 days, then why did i have to take an amc now????...I know i have been duped n when i asked for the receipt for the amount i had given in advance he spoke to that guy and just added that amount also to that billl...ridiculous...

i have senorita modle, my front doors lock system worke not properly, pl help me to know price for repaire.

Hi people,
I have worst experience with IFB service personnel who tried to cheat me for adding water filter and drum cleaning powder for 1800 Rs. I got it done for 450 Rs for Water filter and 40 Rs for drum cleaning powder.

IFB service franchises please wake up. People are not fools anymore.

Hi Ram,
I guess you are from chennai. I too faced the same issue. Now i got clear idea as per your review. Thank you a lot.

IFB has the worst service in India especially in Bangalore. The Franchisee, Shivashakthi Enterprise who is authorized to perform the service requests are just the kind of people which no customer would like to encounter with. Such a pathetic service, that over the phone itself they deliver the judgement and has the rudest of the behaviors. I have bout a 7KG direct drive washing machine that costed Rs.35, 000/- last year. It's been just 12 months and the washing machine has developed a hole with a crack at the bottom of the Tub. The service technician made a vague statement that it's becase of the Rat bite. Examining the hole which is a Triangle with a taper and crack on the tub, looks like it's basically might have happend during transportation when the machine was delivered or installed at my home. Post the installation, neither the machine was moved nor there are any Rat/mouse inside our house :-). I had bought washing machine, A cloths drier and a Convection Microwave all from IFB, thinking that it's good... But now I am repenting. The drier's saftey switch becomes active very often. The IFB does not have any answer to that nor they are trying to fix it. For the Washing machine crack they are asking me to pay Rs.7000/- to fix because they are assuming something which is not real and the franchisee guy is saying he has already spent Rs.7 Lakhs to fix the problem for other customers that's why he does not want to fix my problem...Hillarious... No idea when the Microwave will be out of service, given that both the primary machines are out of service. It's been more than 10 days since I logged the Problem request. And the IFB does not have any seriousness to fix nor they have the technical know how to fix it. I advise all the customers to refrain buying IFB products.

I am using IFB MODEL AW60-8061 ... in this model the machine will not last 2days ... what the reason frdsssss... pls try to clear this problem... i[censored] reason or solution to this pls message me in [protected] & [protected]@gamil.com... pls hurry up frdssssssss

Dear sir,

Poor service ever seen IFB products not recommended

dear sir
don't waste your money to buy IFB products, its my own experience, bcaz i have wasted 25, 000 for buy IFB washing machine Model no Digital 5.5 Kg,

1.product is not good
2.poor customer service

i want to buy ifb 7 kg washine machine give suggestion and address to buy in trichy tamil nadu

I totally agree, the after sales service is pathetic. I believe it is not just with IFB, it is the same with whirlpool air conditioners.
All the MNC's give us a customer care no where a BPO registers a complaint and the same is forwarded to MNC chosen authorised service centre, these service centres employ third grade, poorly motivated invidiuals whose knows head or tail of what he is doing and assumes all customers are and try take advantage.

Never ever go for a AMC, its a gimic.
