Daikin Air Conditioners / DaikinIndia.com Complaints & Reviews

Hi,

I am writing down here as an affected consumer and highlight how we are being cheated by big brands. Last year i bought 2 daikin split ac (1.5 tons each). Just to ensure people are aware before buying and make right decision, i have listed down problems i have faced till date:

This all happened within one year:

1. Outdoor unit of one ac was defected. Fan colliding with body. One engineer from daikin came, looked at the issue, took out his hammer and started hitting the body. He continued using hammer till fan stopped colliding with the body. This was the resolution from their end.
2. Called authorized dealer for installation. Gave rs 3600 for installation. Both acs were not installed properly. He did not even know that company advises to use atleast 10 ft copper tube for better performance. He fitted using 2 ft.
3. As acs were not installed properly there was leakage issue in both of them throughtout the season. 3 times had to get gas refilled. Luckily it happened within one year otherwise i would have paid rs 4500/- for every gas refill. Fyi it is r32 compressor and that is the company's rate for gas refilling.

Just completed one year, now they have the best excuse that your ac is out of warranty:

4. Frustrated with my one year experience with daikin, called local engineer, and reinstalled both acs and refilled gas for 4th and 5th time.
5. Now, just after one year a leakage is detected in condenser that cannot be repaired. Costing from the company is around rs 8000 for new condenser and rs 4500 for gas refill. And as it is over one year i will have to pay that from my pockets.
6. Earlier the technician did not get to know leakage in condenser so he gave a bill for 4500 saying we will refill gas and do minor repair. I gave him 2000 advance he asked for. After two days another technician came saying it will cost 12000. When i asked i do not want to get it repaired give my balance amount after deducting visit charges, his reply was i do not have money other engineer will come and return balance amount, not sure when that actually would happen.

It has just been 1.5 years and i will have to pay rs 12, 500 if i need my ac to work. What kind of harassment is that? Is this an ethical practice?
Looking at how my last 1 year has gone, i would rather suggest you people buy any local brand, atleast you will save money.

Regards,
Manik sargoch

Respecter to whomsoever it concerns

I mr sanjay s kamble bought the ac three months back and know it is not wrking it's complete in dead condition. I followed up with the dealer (Mahalaxmi electronics - bhayander) but i didn't get any response from his side. I haven't used the ac for long only twice i onned it and than it stopped working. Due to high humidity my children's r not able to sleep. I hope u will look into the following matter

We had purchased 02 sets of daikin ac on 20th march 2017 from akashwani radio & transistors against bill no. 689 and since purchase we have been complaining that we are facing cooling issues in one of the acs and the installation person told us that it was some internal fault and then again another person came saying that the product was not properly installed causing leakage of gas. Since then we have been registering multiple complaints in daikin customer service from our mobile no.[protected]Latest ref: cha[protected] & unique customer id 11115540 dt 20/07/2017) and even spoke to chandigarh customer landline no.[protected]Mr. Viajy singh) but none attended our compliant by visiting our residence in panipat. We have been regularly calling customer care and getting confirmation mesages but fail to understand why the issue is not solved.. It teh product faulty??

How long we all have to wait since summer season will stretch for maximum next few weeks and we are not sure, what shoule be the next course of action for a helpless customer if he does'nt get any response from daikin in next couple of days even after begging everyone.

Daikin should respect their customers and attend their complaints efficiently within couple of days followed up with after service call from customer care enquiring for their satisfaction instead of loosing customers in future.. We have never received any problem while using samsung ac from last so many years and switched to daikin which seems to be a very unfortunate decision on my part.

I purchased 2 daikin inverter ac on 4th june 2016 from sargam electronics. Noida. Invoice no of the purchase is snoida-02571.

I have many emails to daikin india since last year from my email id anuj. [protected]@gmail.com as i am continuously facing the issue with one of the 2 daikin ac purchased on 4th june.

Below are the major points regarding the issue.
1.ac is not doing cooling
2.ac compressor...

Hi,

I am thanigaivel, have purchased the above said product on 3rd mar 17 from ratna cools and installed on 5th mar 17.

this product is working good for 4 days, next day water fall inside the room, we have informed the issue to the service franchise, on the same day mr. Prem came addressed it by putting insulation tape over the drain hose.

after that it was working good, but since 17 apr 17, the product is not working good only hot air is coming from the indoor unit.

we have informed the service franchise again today and mr. Prem have come and inspected and informed that the gas is not available, need to fill gas.

which is highly disappointing within 45 days, the product got issue twice, we are really worried wether the fresh product is delivered or defective product is sold to me because the manufacturing dates in indoor and outdoor or different and very old of mar 2016, why 1 year old product is sold to me.

how the new product does not have gas within 45 days from the date of purchase, and i why it is failed twice within 45 days.

again now this ac unit is not working properly, only throwing warm air, we are not comfortable with this unit.

It is very painful to afford such issue again, the purpose of buying ac is to keep the room temperature as cool as possible, but this unit is not fully filling out requirements, this is really not acceptable from a reputed company like daikin.

This is 4th time we are raising this issue with you, this time we are not ok with any service, we want replacement of complete product or refund our money on priority.

your earliest reply is highly appreciated.

Do not buy Daikin inverter AC, this was told me by the authorized service center of Daikin and by many people, but at that time I trusted Daikin and its service but now I really got worst experience.

I purchased my Daikin inverter approximately 3 - 4 years back. I had invested 55k, in this amount I could get 2 new AC at that time, but I thought let's invest in a good brand for a one-time investment.

I know this is an electronic product and can make a problem.and now its outdoor has been stopped working on 19-june-2017. but I didn't know that this Daikin AC repair amount will be this much that I can purchase a new AC instead of Repair of an old Daikin inverter AC. I made a call to Daikin toll-free customer service center. they have sent to a local authorized service center of Daikin. he suddenly told me that your PCB of outdoor is not working and they take it with them .and told me that we will try to repair it if it will work fine then its ok otherwise we have to install new PCB which will cost you 18000 and with personalize warranty by them self. and after 10 days they came up with my old PCB and said that we have repaired it after checking it in my AC it doesn't work and now they declared that I have to purchase new PCBand they told us that maybe your fan is also damaged which will cost you around 7000. now the total amount is near 25000... and they also suggest me to convert my outdoor to the normal AC by replacing this inverter one it will cost be approx 16000.

now if this will cost a person for a repair of an AC like Daikin inverter. who would like to spend this much 1st on AC then if it will stop working half the amount of AC?

They charged me a 450rs .and I didn't receive any receipt of that payment TOO.

now I want to take a strict action among this action and I want to make people aware that they should stop buying inverter AC.

I have buy daikin ac lasthe month but my is not working for one day. I complaint in daikin service center on last month. Now 1 month ago my ac nothen working or no service provide. Tankishion say replace ur ac but.. Dealer say i have no replace ur ac.. And abuse me.. Plz sir help me for replace my ac.. Dealer seyal electronic.. Owner say i can't replace ur ac. Sir m belong middle class family. If daikin no replace my ac i can't pyi emi.. Sir i pay 20000 down payment.. Plz help mee sir.

After 5 years of daikin invertor purchase, ac is turning off automatically in 5 to 10 min after power on. The service engineer came and troubleshooted the problem and appear to be pcb fault. Which may cost around 16k inr. This is almost half prices of the ac actual cost. Even i am using stabilizer with dual step up should have protected with voltage fluctuations.

Now i need to really think should i dump it or repair it? This is really surprising for me the cost of pcb boards, which i have never heard off.
If this could have been informed the customer before purchasing it it could have been avoided to buy it that time.

This is further to my complaint about wet cleaning service.
After cleaning, there have been some problem with cooling. The cooling air is ice freezing even though we set the temperature as 29°c.
We registered complaint about this (Comp no. Gha[protected]) but the reason is still unknown. The engineer visited two times and they did something but the problem is still not solved. We have to keep temperature at 30°c and fan at lowest point to make it normal. The problem started only after cleaning, before that it was working as expected.
What is the solution for this problem and who is responsible for this?

Dear sir,

With reference to above i here by submit as under:

1. My daikin air conditioner 1.50 ton inverter which was purchased by me in the month of august 2015 stop working due to some reqson. Dated (27.05.2017)

2. I registered the complaint to your customer care number and they registered my complaint.

3. On dated 29.05.2017 local service centre i. E. Vi sales told me that internal pcb damaged and to be changed. I agree for the same.

4. Further internal pcb be change on 1.06.2017 and i paid for this rs. 5350/-.

5. Further again my air conditioner stop working on 2.06.2017.

6. I again complaint for this to your customer care number and they give me complaint no. I. E. Jai[protected].

7. On 4th of june they checked my air conditioner and they told me that compressor of the ac damged and it will be changed in the service centre and they carry my air conditioner for repair.

8. On serveral persue from my side they told me on 14.06.2017 that your air conditioner is ready and will be installed on 14.06.2017. They install it my residence and try to start air conditioner but unfortunately it was not start up and engineer told me that it should be checked by 15.06.2017 in the morning.

9. On 15.06.2017 local service center send me another engineer and they checked my air conditioner several time by trial and error method. They check my air conditioner upto 3 hours. After that they told me that now your outer pcb has damaged and it will be change.

10. I again raised complaint against this on your customer care and they give me another no. I. E. Jai[protected]. I chat with nisha rani i. E. Floor manager at gurugram and she told me that she is dealing your case and your air conditioner will be repaired on priorty.

11. On 17.06.2017 again new engineer come at my residence installation place of ac and they are checking my air conditioner and still they did not find any resolution.

Looking to above it seems that my air conditioner is not in a position to run smoothly, again. As the company has sold malfunction product to me. Now it is company liability to replace my air conditioner without any further cost.

I am mentally tension due to this, so it is company moral liability to change my air conditioner immediately. If company will not replace my air conditioner, than i have no any option to take any action.

So i humbly request to company for replace of my air conditioner.

I have bought 1.5 ton split ac of daikin from bhasin brothers, begum bridge, meerut (Up) on 02/06/2016. After few days of working, the capacitor got shot, being under warranty the part was replaced but it took 2 complaints and almost 10 days, after few months again same problem arises, upon complaining, my unit was cleaned and washed properly and it was cooled down and it started working again, ac used to trip sometimes in a day, but i thought it was a normal cooling procedure. Winters arrived by this time and ac was no more used. Again in summers, it worked for 10 days hardly (With compressor tripping twice/thrice a day) and again the same problem stood there, ac started to trip several times in a day. After lodging complaint engineer told me that room temperature sensor is faulty and they replaced it, but from very same day problem was not resolved, again on re-complaining another engineer visited and i straight away demanded unit replacement/return because i was feeling like being looted for a defected unit sold, but daikin deputy manager, mr. Jitendra tiwari ([protected]) asked me to allow them to replace pcb (Circuit) and capacitor last time and moreover assured me that problem shall not arise again.

After waiting for another hot 7 days spares were received and again the ac worked well for 2-3 days and again it started to trip once/twice a day.

Now latest complaint was made on 13/06/2017 complaint no. 11022441, upon which the engineer visited and told me that unit has manufacturing defect and the capacitor is getting over heated thats why it is tripping. It took 1 year to trace the problem, may be they were trying to intentionally end up my warranty period, but thankfully i have registered complaints with them and 5 year compressor warranty,

Again, mr tiwari asked the engineer to change the compressor this time, i was like dumbstruck, after replacing so many parts, you want to replace the heart of my new ac, i asked them to change my complete unit and to which their engineer agreed and said they will try their level best and get the unit exchanged.

After 2 days of no working and no response from daikin, i myself called up amarjeet maurya, local service centre, and surprisingly, he straight away in denial mode said: "we cannot help you, you may talk to tiwari ji for future."

I arranged his contact number and called him and he was like ignoring me during the conversation, by just replying me with hmmm hmmm and in the end he said i will discuss for the replacement (May be with his seniors) and revert, but again like their poor products their response was also poor and nobody reverted.

Today i am so much annoyed, displeased, irrirtted and angry with product and services of daikin that i have to make the complain here.

The motive of this complaint is not only to get justice and get replacement or better a refund, but this complaint is a warning for many other consumers who are planning to buy daikin and get trapped and thereby fooled.

I want proper compensation for the sleepless nights of my parents, i repent gifting them daikin ac fro thier room, i was myself very worried and attacked by insomnia as i was looted for my hard earned 33000/-, i have spent so much on travelling from service centres and dealer. Dealer (Bhasin brothers) was least concerned with my issue, he never attended my phone calls and in showroom he was always busy in attending new customers and trapping them.

I had purchased 5 Daikin ACs - 1.5 ton inverter ACs in Oct 2016. Since installation 1 of the AC is not working. I called up the customer care many times and they send different Service engineer all the time but none has been able to resolve the issue. The guy come do gas filling and then say if you have this problem again do let me know. Again after 7 days I complaint, a new guy comes do gas refilling and says If you face this problem again do let me know... So in last 9 months I have got gas refilled 12 times and still problem persist. I have told them there is some others problem but engineers doesn't understand at all Customer care is helpless. There is no escalation matrix. If you buy a product and it doesn't work, you are stuck with it. No SERVICE SUPPORT AT ALL. I got this product from Vijay Sales Sec 18 Noida

we again forwarding you the service trail for your record

purchased date 15/03/2016 bill no. 1484, kanishk aircon, jaipur
report work sheet no. 176 ( ac pcb (internal) is not giving output. Dated 29.5.2017
report work sheet no 234 dated 1.6.2017( ac internal pcb new install and i have paid rs.
5350/- for that)

complaint id is jai[protected].

Report work sheet no. 239 dated 3.6.2017 in which they mention that compressor is not working and damaged.

I am very depressed from this product only in one and half year almost every thing is damged. I purchased this product beilving on daikin that there is no air conditioner in compare to daikin. But all is wrong. I never suggest to any person to purchase daikin invertor ac. Becoz in india invertor ac is not successful.

I request to please recall my product and change it with non invertor ac without any cost.

I think daikin will look this matter urgently.

I bought a 1 ton daikin inverter a/c on august 2015. On sunday the 28th may 2017, 22 months after purchase the a/c broke down and stopped functioning. I have 2 more a/c's from panasonic and ifb that were also running at the same time and quite old when compared to daikin. Daikin does not have a proper service set-up and assigns the calls to channel partners. I have got a quotation for rs. 5350/- to change the internal pcbs in my unit (Paid 37, 000/- for the unit 22 months back) and the service engineer says that there is no guarantee that the even after the pcbs are changed, the unit will function normally. Apparently, only after the pcbs are changed any further diagnosis is possible. I have reached out to daikin customer service multiple times ([protected]@daikinindia.com and mr. Sathynarayanan, chennai service) but haven't been able to get any support from them – they seem to be avoiding me. I am wondering if the only option is to trash this unit and by another split a/c from panasonic and ifb. When i was discussing this issue with a colleague of mine, the information that i heard was quite shocking: apparently this daikin inverter a/c failure happens frequently and 2 of his friends have faced similar issues and have to dump them. Inverter a/c’s are very sensitive to the voltage fluctuations (They have a lot of electronic circuits in them to change the speed of compressor rotation) and not suitable for indian power conditions. I am not sure whether the daikin inverter a/c's need a recall but unlike cars no one accepts manufacturing or design flaws in acs and does not do a recall. My sincere advice if you have a daikin inverter a/c is to go for a comprehensive amc which might cost around 4000/- per year and protect your interests. For people who dont have daikin a/c's, please refrain from buying daikin inverter a/c's (Or better avoid inverter models) and even for other a/c's please think twice on customer support and not go through the hassles like me by choosing daikin. Sincerely, sanjay ajmera

We have given a complaint of daikin split ac for not cooling.

Service engineer visited and cleaned the filer which improved the air filter.

But the cooling is same as before.

After confronting your engineer, a great revelation came ahead.

As per him it takes 2 hours for ac to cool after cleaning the filer. Wow.

Not expect such type of answer from a service engineer of daikin.
