Faber — Motor issue not resolved

Dear Sir/Madam,

Faber Chimney - Hood Topaz 3D T2S2 BK PB LTW 60
Installed : SKY Enterprises on 26th Sep 2018
Started making weird noises and stops sometimes : May 2022
Service requested : May 2022
Service attended by VIGNESH ENTERPRISES : July 1st 2022
Service report : Motor not working
Technician visit : VIGNESH ENTERPRISES : Aug 2nd 2022

Technician refuses to install the motor stating that active carbon filter is not being used.

Spoke to his supervisor who insists that I need to install active carbon filter and take up some warranty and only then he will install the replacement motor.

I don't see any link between motor failure and active carbon filter and it was not suggested by Faber during original installation in Sep 2018 or during service visit on July 1st 2022.

Faber local authorized service centers are scamming people to buy carbon filters / warranty.

Filters or warranty should be left to the discretion of the customer.

In conclusions, even after 2-3 months, Faber and its customer care sucks. I went for the brand and now I regret. Hope someone seeing this complaint has the heart to fix this without additional harassment to the customer.

I don't want any filters or warranty. Just fix the replacement motor and allow me to use the chimney in peace.

Regards,
Kavitha / Sreenath

Add-ons to the complaint above on Aug 22, 2022

Aug 03, 2022 to Aug 13, 2022
Had multiple conversations with local agency VIGNESH ENTERPRISES and Faber Regional Head and customer service. They both continued to insist that putting a active carbon filter is important and only then Motor replacement will be done.

Finally, I had to give in to this and agree for them to come and replace the faulty motor which is still in warranty on the condition that I will also get the active carbon filters installed.

Local agency head called and promised technician will come to replace the faulty motor in a couple of days. I finally cancelled a brand new replacement chimney that I had ordered as I thought that the problem is finally getting resolved.

Finally, after a lot o[censored]ncertainty, technician visits, disassembles the chimney and concludes that he got the wrong part !! Promises to come in a day and the wait continues

Faber customer support and service in Mumbai is pathetic.

I strongly advice you to think of alternate options for Faber products as they are only interested in installing new ones and not really bothered about customer service post that. Its frustrating.

Waiting with meagre hope to see if they really have some ethics to complete their job which has been pending for close to 3-months now.
