Subject Extremly rubbish and worst customer care by whirlpool
Sir,
Through this mail I would like to draw your kind concern regarding poorest of poor quality as well as customer care in India.
1. That I bought whirlpool refrigerator 10846 310L MAXIGERATOR NEW STEEL 3S
from KAPILA ELECTRONICS PVT. LTD. B-1/6, COMMUNITY CENTER B-1, BLOCK, JANAK PURI on 26th June 2008 vide their invoice no. 2651 for Rs. 13600/-. In my mothers name Mrs. Thakur.
2. That no engineer came for said demonstration on the time requested by us neither did any OK installation report was given.
3. That soon after I had to go for my emergency knee surgery and couldn’t really looked after performance of said item.My mother is aged so she couldn’t see that fault as described ahead.
4.That when I returned after my surgery on 4th night I noticed that refrigerator is totally faulty in sense of cooling and door could not be closed totally leading to leaking.
5.That I contacted my dealer on 5th July telling them complaint and asking why engineer/company personnel didn’t come for demo/installation report.
6.That engineer came noted complaint but refused to comment on cooling status of the item.
7. That you can understand the utility of refrigerator in such heated environment in India particularly north and such callous reply by engineer was totally frustrating and disturbing keeping in mind the multinational company whirlpool.
8.However, soon after they did replace refrigerator which was dropped at my place by a laborer and no authorized personnel did come to check this replaced item or not.
9. Again to my surprise this replaced refrigerator has more problems then previous naming again faulty door closing, secondly noisy, thirdly lower half body was too much heated up and water droplets were dropping in all over items placed in fridge.
10. That as there is no option for attachments in the contact online else I could have sent you the pictures of faulty door closing and water droplets hanging all over inside refrigerator.
11.That I feel that this Fusion model of whirlpool has some manufacturing defect in toto so whole pieces should be withdrawn from Indian market and I may be given an option to go for another model on same rate or option to change company and my total money may be refunded immediately with interest.
12.That this complaint needs immediate attention so that I can have cool summers as even one day delay will cause mental and physical problem concerning my family.
13. That I am afraid that lower half heating of body is so much that I fear of any fire disaster in my home for which whirlpool would be exclusively responsible should any consumer or criminal section as may apply in case of mishappening as decided by law authorities.
14. That please look into matter personally so that I may be freed of mental and physical torture immediately.
15. That I may be contacted on my mobile [protected] with India and Delhi code as apply. Call should preferably be made after 4pm.
16. That I may be kindly provided with correspondence address of highest of controlling authority in India and chief of headquarters which I believe is USA.
17. That any further delay in this will cause me lots of mental and physical torture including my family persons.
18.That I am son of Mrs Thakur and on her behalf and also as utilizing member of refrigerator I am sending this mail.
19.That a copy of this mail in print will be sent to USA HQs as soon I will get their contact.
20.That any clarification or query by your officials can be done by contacting on my mobile given after 4 pm.
Thanks Dr Anil Thakur

Sir,
I want to tell you about my problem. I bought my fridge [260 litres] on 25 may 2007.Within 2 years I got to repair it 5 or 6 times. First time I complained the agency of Sultanpur, two engineers came and told us that the compressor is not working and they changed it. After few months the fridge stopped working again. I complained about this problem in the agency, they came again and told us about the problem of gas leakage .After two days they came and filled it. I faced this gas choking problem three times. My problems continued. Then they told us that freezer and compressor were failed.On 14th September I complained about it in the Whirlpool Service Centre, Delhi.My complaint number is
L.K.09003565.I complained to Delhi Centre many times. But no response was given to me and no action was taken on my problem.I am fed up with all this.
So Please solve my problem as soon as you can.
Thank You

Hello, I've purchased a new refrigerator from one of your dealer named George Enterprises, Porur, Chennai with Inv# 3375 on 11th Oct'09. When I started to use the refrigerator on the same day, I found a dent in the door and i called the dealer and informed abt the same. They switch the call to whirlpool cust care chennai and i spoke to one of your engineer. In the call he said that he will replace the refrigirator after sumbitting the inv copy. i've sumbitted the inv copy twice in a week and still i have not heard any response from your cust care. please arrange the replacement asap or refund the money. Otherwise we will have to take action through legal.

Regards,
Sudhar.
I totally agree with what others who have commented/complained about the Whirlpool. Ten days back I have booked for 260 Litre Whirlpool Refrigerator in the Whirlpool's Office in Ramapuram Chennai and I have paid the refregirator cost by cheque on the day of booking. Till date, refregirator has not been delivered to me and I have made over a dozen calls to the person who took booking. Whenever i make call, he gives some nonsense reply or he says he will call me within 10 minutes and he will never call me back. My money is blocked and I am planning to take up the matter with consumer protection forum. My advice is that please do not go for whirlpool product.

Whirlpool — Careless of whirlpool company

Hi,

recently we purchased a 180L refrigerator from your consulting Person from Miltry Canteen on the date of October 16th 2009.

when we got this product the person asked us to call the customer care number for installtion and Demo of the product. the number is 60008558 and MTNL number [protected] which always Busy or dead. almost it is Dead because i called n number of times it is keep on saying that all executives are busy they will pick your call shortly. but frankly saying no such executive are there on this number or if the people are there then definately they are sleeping, cause even aftet holding the line for 43 min the same sentence is repeating. even i send a SMS to that specified number 58558 and i received a replay for that SMS saying "Thanks 4 registering with whirlpool home care. we will call u back shortly on 21st Oct".

Belive me even today also i am expecting the call from customer care.

Now, i want know what is going on , please answer my questions,
1. Customer Care is existing or not
2. being a number 1 company for refrigerator manufacturing why this much customer neglegence.
3. what should i do if i get some problems in your product, whther i need to go Consumer Court or through this product Out.

Please replay to this mail, i am eager to know your service.

Thanks and Regards,

Srinivas

I have purchased a Microwave oven on 27/12/09 Model-25C-Convection. When the service engineer came for demo it was found that the machine is not at all working and finally he has accepted the machine is not working and will be replaced with new one.
But even after 20 days Whirlpool has not bothered to replace it with new one. We are calling them daily but the response was shocking and it is prooved beyond doubt that Whirlppol india is totally not bothered about thier customer service and i would suggest the readers not to go for the company's product
Sir, We are using whirlpool refrigerator 6 th sense for the past 5 years. We have the problem for the past 1 yr. At the top of the model, one indicator is present.
If it is in red, defrost mode. Otherwise, normal mode. but now the indicator is blinking with red color. we don't know the exact problem. I used to defrost the ice using the manual button which is present at the top of the refrigerator.so can u pls identify the problem and mail us. we don't know that how to rectify the problem. whether we have to call the service person or not. pls identify the problem.

Whirlpool — Extremely rubbish and worst customer care by whirlpool

Concern is regarding poorest of poor quality as well as customer care in India against complaint no. Dl[protected].

We have been complaining regarding our Whirlpool Premier refrigerator , model "Genius" whose door has been broken for the past 2months & only false promises are being made everytime we call customer care.

The complaint was lodged on 16th of Feb' 2010 & we were assured someone would come & check for the problem. We were told that the door needs to be replaced & the same will be done in a weeks time.

Even after 2 weeks no one came & after repeated calls made to customer care, a techinician comes with door of a different model. The guy promises to get the correct door & get it fixed. Again he is invisible for 2 weeks. Calls are again made & we are made to understand that the door is not available in the stock so the delay happened. They promise to get it replaced the following week.

As always no technician or no calls were made atleast to keep us informed actually when can we get the door fixed. Till date we are awaiting for the resolution of the issue.

In the meanwhile our refrigerator is getting affected as the door is not working so the pressure on the compressor is increasing.The food is getting rotten due to improper cooling & maybe tommorrow the refrigerator might just stop working due to the delay & the laziness shown in the solution of the problem. And that I am afraid that lower half heating of body is so much that I fear of any fire disaster in my home for which whirlpool would be exclusively responsible should any consumer or criminal section as may apply in case of mishappening as decided by law authorities.

My question is who is going to take responsibility if the refrigerator collapses tommorrow as a whole or any disaster takes place in my family due to the laid back attititude of your company. This complaint needs immediate attention so that I can have cool summers as even one day delay will cause mental and physical problem concerning my family..
We had problem with our 2 door refrigerator in Oct. 09. After suffering for a week, the problem was rectified by replacing the compressor. Again on[protected], we faced a similar problem and lodged a complaint on[protected] vide no.11416.

A technician attended the complaint at 5PM on 19th and reported that the capillary tube is blocked and needs replacement along with the refilling of gas and informed us that it will be chargeable. On 20th at 3PM he came and replaced the capillary tube and filled gas and said now it will work OK. But on checking we felt that the side panel was getting heated and informed him. He replied that it will take 2 hours and then it will fully cool. We paid under protest Rs.1850=00 demanded by the technician against a bill no.10328 of M/s. Seetal Electronics, Hyderabad.

But, to our shock and dismay we have observed that even by 10 PM the fridge is not getting cool and ice is also not forming.

Since, we have doubts about the competency of technician, we request the higher management to look into the matter immediately and depute a trained engineer to rectify our problem immediately. Already food material worth thousands is spoiled and we have suffered enough loss and inconvenience.

Looking forward to prompt and efficient customer care from Whirlpool India, whose vision and mission mentions of customer centric approach.
SR Number: KL[protected] against my complaint on 29.04.2010., for failure of connection to Control Panel LED Light . 4 times visited by technician - Door has to be Changed for Fridger Unit ?
Also Lower Door of Double Door Fridge ( Same Fridge ) getting rusted within 1 Year required to be replaced .
12 Days already passed. It will take another 15 days as parts are not available - What a fantastic service mode with in 1 year of warranty ?

Dear Sir,
I purchased a whirlpool double door fridge with 310 L capacity in Nov 2008.
I am sorry to tell you that the quality of your product is not at all satisfactory.
It has only completed its 17 months and has started causing problems past one month.
I lodge a complaint on 25 th May 10 and it is the harassment caused by your customer care
that the appliance is still not repaired. Your executive visited on 26 May, said that there
is a gas leakage, refilled the gas on 28 and charged INR 1310.
But there was no improvement in the fridge condition.
I re-lodged the complaint on 28, 29, 31 May but to add to the harassment they are
delaying their revisit and give silly excuses.
Sorry for the quality and service you people provide.
Also, I don't expect that after refilling of gas your appliance will last longer.
I will personally suggest everyone to not to go for Whirlpool appliance because
of their poor quality and frustrating service.
Since, First they will extract a huge amount of money from you for
their appliance and thanks to their quality product they will again bother you
and extract money from you for their services.

Whirlpool — Worst Whirlpool customer support

I bought a new refrigerator Fusion 260L single door from a dealer in chennai, the refrigerator was deleiverd on 16 jun, now on the third day due to some defect the gas got leaked. I want the refrigerator to be replaced but the people from the customer support is insisting me to go for a service. After paying money from my pocket they want me to use a serviced refrigerator. I am deeply worried about the treatment from your organisation with such a brand name.
one of the worst company in India
