IFB Industries Complaints & Reviews

IFB PEOPLE ARE CALLING DAILY BUT NO DEMO YET. THEY EXPECT US TO BE IN HOME WHENEVER THEY CALL US. OH WHAT A SERVICE . NK.KANNAN [protected]

My Senorita IFB washing machine is unusable since almost 6 months. The problem is tremendous vibration and and banging at the time of spinning. On my complaints with the call cetre, the local service personnels have attended 3 or 4 times. But the problem still persits.
Lately the technician told me that I must buy a stand to solve this problem. I am skeptical of his suggestion,as the manufacturers have not said anything like that in the brochure. Can I have an authenticated opinion on this.

We bought an IFB washing machine just in Sept 2011 and by March it became out of order. We did not have the contact numbers to log in our complaints. We were just passed on from one to another. Finally we got the contact number to lodge complaints. Our complaint number is 8965132 and ID no is 3013723. Two days later a person came, and went back saying he has to refer to the book. It is about two weeks now and all that the company says is there is no spare part and they are helpless and so we have to wait. What sort of company is this, giving such a poor quality of service? Can't you do something about it? Such companies should be taken to court.

machine is out of order and no body free to attend complaint even talked to higher management also .shame on such a organisation not having guts to improve their service team having such attitude,

IFB Washing Machines - Worst Service Support
My IFB Digital front loading washing machine stopped working since 25.02.2012.
I logged nos of complaint and after two months
the service person came and told that he replaced some part within two days.
I’ve contacted IFB customer care again after one week.
Service person came and told the some parts is the problem and needs to be changed.
No one called back after that. I’ve started chasing customer care.
The service centre people are well trained in giving various reasons every day.
“There is no stock of that part”
“Part is ordered it will come by next Friday and will fix it by coming Monday” (every week I’m hearing the same)
"All parts are changed don't know why its not working"
I approached call centre again on 10th june 2012 for further escalation.
Its 4 months now and my washing machine stands like a monument in my house.
Service people are getting trained to the core exploiting our situation.

Since the time I have bought the machine, some problems keep coming. If you give a complaint technician will never come before 2-3 days. Now I am facing problen since last one month, complaint remains unresolved. Technician keeps coming andd going with no solution

I've purchased one IFB Washing machine on 2 of this month...it should be delivered through Navata transport on 4...But when i contact the Navata thay said that the product was Caught by some customs's gazzeted officer because of some missing sales tax and then i visited the store by the query here the associates co-operated me very well and i had talked to the godown person Mr.Rajashekar and also Mr.Gangadhar..They simply passed away the issue by stating that myself should go to Navata in Guntur and give them necessary Expalanation...We can't expect this kind of service from Reliance isn't it...Now give me Immediate Response

Hi,

We were been delivered with a defective piece of "IFB ELENA VX" washing machine.
On complaining about this (on 09/05/2012) they carried our machine back to their service centre...(that too after 20-25 days)... and assured us with the replacement... and now its almost 1 month over and they havent yet delivered the new piece.

Their service is very cheap and slow.....

We had purchased an IFB washing machine ELITE-VX 7kg from RHYTHM HOUSE,sector-18,noida. From day one the clothes became rough and hard after washing in it. I has logged a number of complaints(recent complaint numbers-8516629,8935018) for the above stated problem ,he came twice ,checked the machine but was unable to resolve the issue. then he said that he will come next day with his senior technician but till date he has not come.

Need your help to solve the problem.looking forward for your support.

thanks

I had purchased IFB dishwasher, model : ZEPHYR EX & serial no.[protected], on 12th March'2011. From the beginning the machine was not drying the utensils fully especially from the upper right side section and when complaint was given, I was told to put more shiner. Within 15days one bottle of shiner was consumed. After giving repeated complaints, the dish washer was taken to the workshop and returned after about 15-20days but the problem was not rectified. Firstly no one from the office was ready to listen to my problem and after repeated calls, the Zonal Manager agreed to replace the dish washer and I was told that the piece is not in stock but as soon as it will be they will replace it. I waited over a month and when no response came from their side, I called them up. The conversation broke the barrier of my patience as the Zonal Manager outrageously refused that he told me the dish washer will be replaced and when I told him that i'll go to consumer court, he said - "Do whatever you want to do". The whole experience of buying IFB Dish washer has been horrifying and equal to mental harassment due to the conversation with the office staff. The service has been pathetic and totally dis-satisfactory. I don't understand that when they know that the problem is from the beginning why are they not willing to replace it. I regret why I purchased IFB product and would never recommend anyone to buy it.

My IFB complaint number is 8926415. Before I put the AMC in IFB they did a very good on time service,
After AMC, no proper response from the team. They are telling technician not available.
So, please don't put annual AMC in IFB.

I bought IFB top-loader Washing Machine on 18th May 2012 (from Noida) and we found it not working very next day, on[protected]. We lodged complaint on[protected] but the customer care is daily making just one statement since[protected]: "we are forwarding your complaint to the relevant department". No movement on my problem even after 10 days. I bought this machine from Rythm House, sector 18, Noida; when I contacted the dealer, I didn't get any kind of help.

After repeated follow ups, their sales-manager (not part of call center) has started saying that they'll replace the machine as the unit sold to me was "known to be faulty". And since they have sold me a faulty and phased-out machine, they'll give me a new model and I'll have to bear the extra cost of that new model. I am surprised how such a big MNC is making its customer fool.

Can someone let me know if I have a solid case to bring IFB and the dealer Rythm House to consumer court and get jsutice?

Complaint no. 8879115 resulted in arrival of technician to inspect the problem. The technician did nothing but promised to return next day with required components. NEVER returned despite of regular calls.
ADVICE to people planning to but IFB products - first learn to repair the machines and then buy them.
HOPELESS after sales service.

Complaint No 8756640 client id NO1706377ated 30-4-'12. replacement of drum not complied with so far despite several calls made during the last 27 days. Five technicians visited and checked on 7th,15th,21st and 25th. No unanimity of opinion among service technicians with the result rectification is prolonged. The local Executive Manager
is not exercising his responsibilities properly even after instructions from Madras region. Simply dancing to the tunes of the local contractor and supporting the illogical attitude. Do instruct to settle the issue at once failing which the the horrible behaviour and the irresponsible attitude of the officials will aired through the local vernacular dailies or remedy will be sought for through consumer council with damage claim.

Kindly help me regarding the issues that I have been facing with a faulty washing machine since I purchased this machine. The problem with this faulty machine has started within a month from date of Purchase. Below are the complaint details.

I was patient enough to see if the issues would be resolved. But the issue remained and so we have approached the Service centre senior Engineer Mr.Steven at Tadbund,Secunderabad. He confirmed that it was a faulty machine and it will continue to have problems. SO we escalated the issue to his manager Mr.Ramakrishna who is incharge of sales & Service for Andhra Region.

After looking at all our above complaints and having series of discussions with his engineers. He agreed to change all parts of the machine and promised us to exchange the machine, if at all same issue’s happen again. He also suggested us to pay 1,143 /- Rs towards extended warranty on 15/4/2009. The extended warranty would commence from 23/8/2010 to 22/8/2012.

Upon delivery of the machine with all spare parts changed the issue has become worst. Below are the complaint No’s with dates after changing all the spare parts.

We have updated the issues with Mr.Ramakrishna and suggested us a solution, but he never bothered to help us out and was further trying to postpone the issue rather than guiding us with appropriate solution. He is perhaps waiting for the warranty to get expired and delay things until then.


We have further escalated the issue reaching head office. Spoke to the Senior Engineers Mr.Lohit, Mrs.Rajeshwari and Mr.Mustafa. They suggested that they are working on the issue and have escalated the issue to senior most officials “Mr. chakravarthy” at IFB and we should get a response within 24hrs. Some suggested they will take the machine to head office and get it fixed, just be patient. But no one has reverted back to us until now we have been waiting for past 3 months.

Whenever we try to follow up the case calling the head office at toll free No. [protected], the customer support are either suggesting us that the Senior Engineers Mr. Lohit, Rajeshwari and Mustafa are either busy or left for the day and will get back to us. Actually they never called us back at.all.
