[Resolved]  Samsung - Window Ac - 1. 5 Ton — Poor Service - A/C

Sir,

I have in my possession at my residence, 3 Samsung 1.5 ton Window Air conditioners. I called Samsung Customer Care Service on August 25th requesting for my 2 Air Conditioners to be serviced (Water washed). Your Department arranged for an engineer by the name of Ramesh from Vijay Ganesh Engineering, No. 2/14, 6th Street, Jai Nagar , Arumbakkam, Chennai - 106.He took care of the water washing of two of the Air Conditioners, one of which had to be installed in the window, which he said, he could not do, but somebody else in the Agency would attend to it I paid for two of the AC service and have receipts for the same. I waited for some days and I contacted Samsung Service Center again, after which they sent a man from Alfa Refrigeration Co., Plot No. 13/11, Brindavan Nagar, 5th Cross street, Valasarawakkam, Chennai - 87. The name of the engineer was Prakash and his mobile number is [protected]. This was taken care of and payment was made on September 1st, 2009. Upon testing the AC, the engineer informed us that the AC was not serviced properly and water had gone into the motor, hence a loud noise was coming from the AC. he informed us that Ramesh, Engineer of Vijay Ganesh Engineering, had not serviced the Air Conditioner properly and the water was in the motor, hence this problem.

I have called Samsung many times regarding this problem since it is your people who have destroyed my Air Conditioner, you have got to rectify it at your expense. There is total irresponsibility on the part of your service people in Chennai. I request that you kindly sort the situation out so that our confidence in the Samsung Company will not be destroyed. I will appreciate immediate action from you regarding this matter.

Sincerely

Pamela Thompson

Samsung Window 1.5 ton AC — Poor Service

Dear Sir,
This is with reference to my BP No [protected] lodged on 24 Apr 08 at 0900 hrs where-in I had specifically told about rectification of two defects in the Window Air Conditioner Model No AWT 18 S1WDB i.e. Inadequate Cooling and Replacement of Temperature/ Thermostat Control Knob. You may like to confirm this since you record your messages for quality purposes. I was told by your service executive that the complaint would be attended to by evening the same day i.e. 24 Apr 08. I had given number of reminders but no service engineer came and attended the complaint and again on 25 Apr 08 I reminded repeatedly 4 to 5 times to your service executives at call centre. Then at around 1900hrs the service engineer came to rectify the defects.
To my astonishment the service engineer who was detailed to attend to my complaints neither carried the Temperature Gauge to show me the grill temperature nor he brought the Temperature Control Knob. On asking the reasons the service engineer said he was not told about the defect by the call centre executives.
I had given the unsatisfactory report and given my remarks in the feedback form. The same can be checked at your end. I am not at all satisfied with the performance though I made the payment. You are requested to detail a suitable service engineer to rectify the defects with proper tools/ gauges and spares failing which I shall be forced to take up the matter with Consumer Court.
Waiting for an early response.
With best wishes,

POOR SAMSUNG A?C SERVICE BY VIJAY GANESH, ARUMBAKKAM, CHENNAI

Yes the same Problem with me too, I live in Annagar West, possess 1.5 Silver Nano Samsung Window A/c. When I had contacted Samsung service for problem in the A/c, last May 09, the guys from VIJAY GANESH had come & inspected. Mentioned that the Gas was leaking & had to weld the copper pipes. He took the A/c to his shed in Arumbakkam, repaired & bought back after a week, charging s 3000. Then I called them for regular Service in August 09. Now in Oct 09 the same issue arose, with ice formation on the tubes & the gas leak - this time the gas is smelling. We called Samsung service & they sent the same Vijay Ganesh guys again. The visiting technician mentioned that the cipper pipes have developed holes & the gas is leaking.The worst is the explanation the the technician gave was not convincing {he said that the dust from inside of thr room had caused the holes in the coil pipes...how could that be! If that was the case there would not be a single A/C working fine in India & all the A/c companies would have to flee India} He told me that again I have to spend another Rs 200 for welding the pipes. This is not acceptable at all - they repaired the system for the same fault in May 2009, Serviced in August 2009 & now they inspect in Oct 2009 & say that it would cost another Rs 2000.for repairing. I called the Samsung Service office & reported this incident. The reply I got from the Service Desk guy Nagaraj was alrming he said. He said Samsung cannot take any action against Vijay Ganesh- as they are the only Sole agents for Annagar Chennai for Samsung Service. This is totally nonsense - it shows that Samsug is not a process compliant company. They are intersted only in the Sales & not in After Sales serivice.

We bought the A/c in June 2006 - paying the highest price for a Window A/c - Rs 18000.

This is a costly lesson & now I want to suggest to all those who want to buy an A/c thus :

PLEASE DO NOT BUY SAMSUG APPLIANCES AT ALL. GO FOR LG or VOLTAS etc.

The second time charge mentioned should read as Rs 2000 & not Rs 200 in the above compliant

Samsung 1.5 Window AC — Poor Customer Service/Request not handled

Hi,

I had logged a request for our 1.5 Ton Window AC to be serviced about 2 weeks ago. On repeated occasions I called and was told the request has been forwarded to the team and they will call at your house within 24 hours. Well, the first 24 hours came and went. I called to check the status and was told that they will forward the request to the team and they will call back in 2 hours. Those 2 hours also came and went. I called back and the same thing happened again. Till date our AC has not been serviced and I have not received a call.

We pay for the services and expect them to be catered too. Why call yourselves to have a 'Customer Service Team' wherein there are no services given to the customer.

I guess I write this with no expectations of a response/action. But, since you have this portal, I thought why not give it a try!

Should I expect my AC to be serviced?
It is true...Even I had the same problem...Samsung service for AC is worst...Everyone should avoid Samsung products then these companies will keep the right service center.
