[Resolved]  Samsung — Split AC not working - poor repair quality

Subject: Poor product & poor service workmanship - 1.5 T split AC - BP No. [protected]

Dear Sir,

I bought my Samsung Split AC in May 2005. This product has not given me satisfactory performance even during warranty period or outside the warranty period.
Within warranty period, gas leaked out 3 times, and most of the times in blistering summer I was continuously following up with your call centre to get repair done. Even my cooling coil was repaired during warranty period.

Even in 2007 summer timing, gas was filled again 2 times. Even after that cooling was never effective in this Samsung product.

This time, in 2008, I reported a problem of AC not working and your service team recommended to replace the cooling coil due to leak. This was done by charging me Rs. 4700/- on April 12 by your service team. No leak check was done while replacing the cooling coil, even after my repeated requests. My AC stopped functioning again within next 2 days and I again called your call centre for this problem. This time, service engineer told me that there was another leak which he has fixed, and filled gas again and made my AC run. My AC again stopped functioning after 2 days and your service engineer told me to get my voltage stabilizer checked, after I logged complaint at call centre for the 3rd time in less than a week's time. I got my voltage stabilizer checked from an external agency by paying another 250/-. Even after that, my AC worked only for 1 day and stooped functioning again. I had to log another complaint (4th time in ten days) at your call centre on April 23rd. This time your service engineer told me that he will remove the unit from installation, take it to service centre and check completely. It has been over 24 hrs, in this blistering summer, that your service engineer removed my AC from installation at my home and left it at my place, but no body has even come and collected the unit for taking to service centre. I have no clue that when will this unit be collected from my home, and repaired and installed back at my place???

I am extremely nervous about the level of product quality Samsung has provided, along with the worst workmanship shown during repairs. My product has not been made functional even after 3 repairs in ten days. 4th repair is under progress, without any timeline to finish. I am really worried that I will have to spend most of this summer, again, in calling up Samsung Service Centres for one or another problem in this Samsung AC. In doing this, I am spending my precious time and energy; apart from phenomenal discomfort to my entire family due to non functioning of this product.

I am now thinking of going to Consumer Court since I have already spent money and time, without even getting a satisfactory repair done on my product. Actually, I should do that for the poor product quality as well since this product itself is unable to perform since the time it was bought. Your service records should tell you the entire history, if you have good service data management.

Please take a note of this and ensure that workmanship improves significantly so that repeat problems and customer harassment can be avoided. I will not call Samsung if the problem persists, and would simply dump this product onto you and buy new AC; and would contact Consumer court for the harassment I have been given by Samsung India and Samsung Service Dept.

Samsung — AC not working

Hello,

I would rate after sale service of Samsung as "Pathetic" and I've got full reason to say the same. My AC is not working since last 4 days and I launched my complaint with Samsung on 31st May 2010 at 2:35 pm and that time I was being told that I'll receive a call from someone in Samsung and my AC will be repaired on the same day. I didn't receive any call on that day, next day (second day) I called up once again and I got an assurance that today they are escalating my case and I'll get a call back from the call centre as well as the service centre - as expected - no call, even on my repeated request to the customer care representative to transfer my call to the floor supervisor he didn't transfer my call, I called twice and both time the same thing happened and rather a false statement was conveyed to me stating that the representative had a word with the service centre guy and someone is going to visit my home within an hr. time. No one came on that day even after 2 calls one in the noon time and one in the evening time. Next day (third day) that is on 2nd May I didn't call Samsung and didn't even receive any call as well. Next day (fourth day) - 3rd May I call up in the morning to the customer case centre people read the same standard script that you'll receive a call in a short while - again the same thing no call back. I again called up in the evening I tried to explain the scenario, once again I heard the same standard script that I'll receive a call back, this time I was adamant and I wanted to talk to the floor supervisor the person first of all clearly refused to transfer the call after a lot of pursuance, he transferred the call, after keeping approx 7-8 min on hold someone picked up the phone and disconnected without even talking to me, I again called up the customer care and this time I asked directly to transfer the call once again the person confirmed all of the details from me and again was adamant not to transfer the call but again after a lot of pursuance, the call was transferred and the same thing - call was disconnected after approximately 10 min of putting me on hold, third time I called again the same story but this time finally the call was transferred and picked up by one of the floor supervisor called Sumit. He told me a strange point that their records were saying that the case has already been closed!!!! It was really annoying for me, although he apologized for this mistake and promised me a call back from the service centre and gave me an assurance that this time the case will be taken seriously.

As per Sumit’s promise I got a call from the service centre but the person was really rude, he was talking to me in a manner he is actually obliging me by giving me a call back, he treated me in an insulting manner, I requested him to send a service engineer matching to my office timings which is either at 8:00 am in the morning or at approximately 7:00 pm in the evening, he clearly refused to these timings, and mentioned me “If you want to get your AC repaired, you have to be available at the time I am mentioning not as per your ease, you can definitely take a one day vacation from office to get your AC repaired else wait for saturday” I clearly mentioned him this is not possible and I have to attend office due to some emergencies, he clearly mentioned, this is not his problem, either be at home to get AC repaired or he will send the person on Saturday! I requested him to send the representative at 6:00 even then he again he showed tantrums and mentioned “I can not guarantee for this time, but I’ll see if I could send someone at this time otherwise…..”.

I am an asthmatic patient and it is a dusty atmosphere these days I have mentioned my situations and my disease to everyone in Samsung that I am daily getting asthmatic attacks because I am not sleeping in my AC room rather I am sleeping in an open room, but no one in Samsung really cares about it!. Can I know if Samsung really cares about their customers!!!! This is not the first time that the same instance is happening with me, this is the second instance in the same season, last time also my AC was repaired on 10th day of my complaint and this time also it is already the end of 4th day of my complaint, and I do not know how many more days do I need to wait!

Can someone in Samsung explain what kind of customer service experience is this???? Do you really think that I can dare to purchase any of the Samsung product ever again in future or if could I dare to suggest anyone to buy any Samsung product ever again?


Cheers,

I have bought a Split A/C. 2Ton in the month of January from Kings Electronics Nerul Navi mumbai. I had lodged a complaint for the repair of my air conditioner on 6/10/2010 vide complaint no. BP No. [protected]. Though promises have been made by the supplier, no technician from Samsung has visited the premises to check the problem. This is not the kind of service expected from a company of your reputation.

air conditioner and fridge — delay and poor service quality

I have the worst nightmare dealing with ratna fan house for purchasing air conditioner and fride. After accepting that they would deliver on a particular day, they have delayed almost by one week. The response from them is very rude and non-courteous. Please note that they can no longer treat customers like and change their attitude towards the customers.
i do agree with the services of Samsung. We bought a splict ac in March and this date it is not working properly. We complained in March itself to the dealer and then they filed a complaint with Samsung center but till date no action had been taken. There was a commitment that the ac will be replaced in one month but till date no such action has been taken.

1.5 tons; SPLIT; — From the time it is bought we are not getting proper cooling

We had purchased an ac from Higloo in June 2009 fr approx Rupees 33000/=.

From the time it was installed, the cooling effect was very less.

We had repeatedly called Higloo / Yogaa Agencies to check on this. Every time they had come to repair the AC, they could refill the gas and advize it should be ok.

Finally after 1 1/2 year, due to continuous problem with the new instrument.

Every month a person had to come for repair it.

The complete instrument was dismantled and it was found the coil had holes in it which was causing leakage, preventing less cooling.

Now we have got information frm Mr. Xavier of Samsung[protected] & Mr. Anand of Yogaa Agencies stating we need to pay for the coil, which cost approx INR 5000/= so that this is repaired.

I need to know what went wrong fr me as a customer to pay fr this, pls look into this urgently and help to service the customer urgently.

This is pending for more than 3 weeks.
I purchased the SAMSUNG A/C 1.5 ton split- AST18EFB on the April of 2009 and faced frequent problems with the unit like water leakage, condenser charging, hot air blowing etc..past 2 weeks the A/C dint perform well and i experienced only hot air blowing inside the room. When i called up on the technical guys they came and reported that there was a GAS LEAKAGE and they removed the entire unit(indoor & outdoor) to their service place. They also mentioned that they would charge 2, 800/- Rs for filling gas and checking the leakage(by welding the copper coils)...if the leakage is on the Aluminum coil( 4 star & 5 star units utilizes Aluminum coil for less power consumption) then they have to replace the entire Al coil it seems. this would cost an additional 3, 500/- Rs.
I am lodging my complaint against this product that in spite of i investing a huge sum i had to spend more frequently and this time the repair consolidating to 6, 300/-Rs. This is really frustrating as a customer to keep spending more and more for using a purchased product. I hereby claim that Aluminum coil usage in the SAMSUNG split A/C as fault product and also the gas leakage which shouldn’t happen so easily(poor material selection by SAMSUNG).
Hence i would want SAMSUNG to consider this issue seriously and contact me regarding this. Failing so this complaint would be taken to Consumer court and i wouldn’t hesitate to sue the brand as further action without notification.
This Samsung 4 star rated split 1.5 ton A/C on april of 2009. It has only 1 year warranty for the unit and 5 years for the compressor. It gave me lot of troubles every month like hot air blowing, Condenser discharged, water leakage inside etc. I had to call the technicians once in every month and fix it and spent a lot on this. I am against the AMC (stupid principle) to keep investing more and more on a product which is already invested and you get nothing out of it even u take AMC.
Last two weeks i experienced only hot air blowing out of my unit and when i called up the technicians they told me that there was gas leakage in the Aluminum coil.( the unit has a aluminum coil set up that would consume less electricity power.) since it was Aluminum they would replace the unit completely and not weld it. it costs[protected] Rs extra and for filling in gas and transportation Rs 3000 separate...
So tell me guys should a customer invest in a product and keep spending on a technically defect product?...i am really pissed...filling a consumer complaint against the Samsung.
this leakage of gas problem is happening almost about 90% of Split A/C 4 star or 5 star rated and this happened within 1 year of installation. the normal rated split a/c has only copper coil which can withstand any temperature/pressure changes inside and outside the unit. but the 4, 5 star rated A/Cs' have a separate Aluminum coil (for less power consumption) but break off often resulting in gas leakage. This is a product defect and even if this leakage occurs due to Aluminum coil breakage the company is sole responsible for this and should replace it with a proper unit. I too have this problem now with the Samsung split A/C and i am waiting for them to replace it or i would file a case against them in consumer court.
