IFB Industries Complaints & Reviews

The above mentioned machine is purchased in 2013, now its not functioning and its showing error as" DOOR".

It comes under warranty.

I have contacted the service person 2 weeks before, but I have yet to received any services,

we have bought 3 machines IFB Front loaded washing machine, but we have gone through the bad experience with IFB.

its not a first time the service gets delayed.

I am extremely frustrated with five months of follow up with ifb services, problem is not solved yet.

They attended the complaint on january 2016, and did a service for rs. 3, 500. Still the motor sound was high, so the service person nagaraj advised us to go with amc.
And we booked a amc for rs. 5, 500.

Then when we gave a complaint after 40 days, they told that the motor will not be covered under amc.
In that case why did the service person advice to take amc. Is it only to get the money. If the service person don't know fully about amc why do they tell about it.

Then after long frustrating conversations and follow ups, there was no progress, and we paid around rs.3800 for the motor.

The service centre never took anything seriously, never sent any service person again.
By the time it was april 2016, when another service person came and told that the drum is not in good condition.
As the machine was not used for 4 months the drum has got damaged, and this is because the ifb service's carelessness and not attending the issue in time.

After few weeks another service person came with a drum, when checked it was an old drum removed from some other washing machine. We did not accept to replace with an old drum.

It has been five months completed from the day of complaint and there is no response from ifb.
I am following up daily with them, and they say some reason that the parts are not ready, or the in-charge person is not available.

Whatever it is, it wont take more than 5 months to fix a washing machine. So far i have spent totally around rs. 13, 000, and waited five months, still the issue is not fixed.
This shows how efficiently the ifb service is functioning. The people at service centre don't care about the customer. There is no proper hierarchy or next level, where a customer can complain if there is any issues.

If this issue is not solved soon, i will go for legal remedies.

The following are the details of the service centre,

Bhuvana, ifb industries, vadapalani, chennai

My name is Soumya Thomas, from Ernakulam Kerala. I am a government employee. I am very unhappy about ifb services. I had registered a complaint regarding my washing machine almost two months ago. I am not upset that the machine is still not working, but very much aggrieved that no service person has come to atleast see what the problem is. As my husband is a seafarer, his mobile number (registered number with you) will not be always available and hence I had given my mobile number ([protected]) instead while registering the complaint.

The worth part is that I had contact a regional service person citing the above, about 2/3 weeks back. Though the person had assured service, there was no response thereafter.

This is not expected from such a reputed company.

I am extremely dishearten to experience the poor service of ifb in lucknow. I have been struggling from last 2 months to get my washing machine repaired. My amc got expired on 11th apr which i got renew on 15th apr, had logged a complaint on 30th apr followed by 5th may, finally the guy visited to replace the belt which got broken. Immediately after he left, my machine stopped working, since then i have been trying to reach you guys.

Hi,


This is kumar from Bangalore. I have purchased a IFB front loading washing machine and after the warranty expired, i have got into AMC

with IFB by paying 3000/- rs.


Now i have got a problem in my washine machine for which i raised a complaint on 30/04/2016. The ticket number is [protected].
But the same was not attended to and the ticket was closed without intimating me or consulting me and even without attending to the

issue

Now, I had to again contact the call center to lodge a second complaint, ticket number [protected] raised on 23/05/2016.

This time around its been 9 days now and there is no update except that the technician calls up and says the required item is not in

stock and will be replaced in a day or two.
Inspite of repeated follow ups, the technicians only say that they will attend to the request in 2 days bt the story is same...No

response or resolution


Even after 9 days of the second complaint, nobody turned up. Whenever i call the technician or his service center, they either dont

pick the call or say it will be replaced the next day. I have now made close to 15 calls to various people but to no avail

THE MOST SHOCKING THING IS THAT MY SECOND COMPLAINT TOO ([protected] ) IS NOW CLOSED WITHOUT BEING SERVICED AND LOOKED INTO. THEY DIDNT

EVEN INFORM ME. PATHETIC...

This is the most pathetic handling of customer I have ever seen and want immediate action to get the machine rectified after all IFB

is not going charity instead they have charged us 3000/- rs for such service.

If required I shall furnish the details of the technicians who have talked to me multiple times but havenot fixed the issue

MY request to IFB is to completely abolish or remove the franchise model of servicing requests for AMC machines as these ppl are

really useless and money makers and nothing else, bringing the IFB brand to disrepute

Kumar

I have purchased a IFB Eva aqua SX LDT front load fully automatic 6kg washing machine/Sr No. 012291 from popular retail shop "Vasanth & Co" on 22 May 2016 but they have delivered a broken/damaged washing machine to me. Two days later couple of person came from IFB for installation and they unboxed, noticed and informed me that it is broken. Then I went to retail shop to complaint, they said that it would be replaced by IFB itself and they have sent my details to IFB. Laterly a person call from IFB named "Praveen Raja" and asked me to send my details, machine serial number and bill copy via whatsapp. I did as like he wish. He said that it would be delivered in 2 days. but everyday when I enquired about my machine, he used to say by tomorrow or today. And today 27 May 2016, a women called from IFB and verified my delivery address. but until now, I haven't received my machine yet. what the hell I did wrong in this? choosing the IFB over other product only the wrong thing i had made. can any one please help me to take legal action on them?

I have bought IFB 1 ton split AC in April 2015 from satisfaction, Kolkata got installed at saltlake, kolkata. Just after 1 year passed now the AC is not getting start as Remote control showing no indicator. i have already changed batteries, but no result. my customer id in IFB is 11025392 .
I have already booked complaint on customer care number with ticket no. [protected] on 24.05.2016. But nobody attended.
Can i hope to get the reason for what remote is not working, can any help over phone to verify it any minor mistake.
My family abusing me for buying product of IFB as they suggested to buy LG product.
Now I am feeling cheated and great looser.

IFB were unable to resolve the drum problem of the washing machine though was attempting to do so, however never complaint for changing the parts.

Lastly when the warranty got over on 03.03.16 the teams said that parts requires to be changed and is now chargeable.

I do not know whether these are poor tricks to cheat customer or IFB really have poor technicians.

When the complaints were raised to IFB’s Pune (India) Franchises Enigma the response was poor and when it was escalated to their Service Branch Manager Ms Harsali (+91-[protected]) the response was pathetic. Ultimately very rudely she mentioned that the case can be taken anywhere and mentioned that she is not authorized to give any response in writing or share her E-mail ID. (discarding any resolution).

May God help companies and customers from such Service Managers!!!

I had purchased a hob cooking top from authorised dealer of ifb on sunday but still i am fighting for the installation for the last two days with customer care and local team.

I am contacting cutomer care on their toll free no for the last two days and all they are saying that call is assigned further or take local team no then what is the benefit of customer care.

Still inspite of so many follow ups they are not responding.

Very poor services of ifb.

It is very painful to lodge complaint against this organization since i am using products from the same company.

I feel that there is nobody to listen to customer because this the sixth time that my Air-conditioner got fault and no proper response from your side,
this behaviour forcing me to knock the door of court which I don't want to do.

Kindly have prompt action of it or else i would receive your negligence as the response.

Hi sir/mam,

We have very bad experience with ifb franchise / customer service for last 1 week.. It is been 7 days we registered complain and no response. We have paid amc.

Some lady named bhuvana is so abusing over the call which triggered my temper and made me use abusive words.

To escalate her, we got in touch with so called franchise manger "priya", such a wonderful lady who doesn't even listen to customer and don't even understand what customer is complaining about.
The lady bhuvana is not fit to be in customer service and her so called manager "priya" is twice than the above said another lady.

We really want to raise a court complain again these ladies but both afraid ladies keep screaming over the call like fish market and not allowed to talk us.,
The funniest part they said was, customer has to record the phone conversation that customer service do not do it itseems

Are they educated customer service agents???

I have never seen such a worst service, since i handle lot of electrical items like fridge, 2 acs, prufier, etc etc.

I will try to make sure that none of my frnds / colleagues / family would buy any ifb products since they are not treating customers as humans.. Like their maids.. So sad and pathetic and so troublesome..

The escalation team is not at all worthy, they just connecting calls and not resolving the issue.
Some one named pradeep from escalation team has picked the call and connected us to the worst wonderful franchise lead "priya" you even made the situation worse.. Let me pray that none of the ifb customers talks to this "so called ladies priya & bhuvana" and to get their day spolied.

Whoever reads this make sure that this complain has reached till that so called wonderful ladies (Who always screams like fish market) and tell them that


"customer service only records the call for complaints and not customers"

Hereafter plz hire some one who is educated and not from such a low background to irritate the customers to lose them for ever.

I bought microwave of ifb 20 bc3 last year but its door got burn 2 times with no reason left. Every time their service person come with new door and collect money. Now it smells a lot of burning and cant be used further. From last 2 months i am waiting for service engineer to come. They told to use it in low temperature like buying a superbike and ride @ 20km/hr. Please if there is someone to help do the needfull and replace this waste product and never buy any ifb product.

I bought ifb washing machine & ifb microwave oven sc 23 on 1 may fromj kings electronics, kalyan. They promised me to deliver both appliances on 3 rd may but after repeated phone calls they delivered it on 6/7. After that i called them several times for demo they send their men on 21 may 16. After opening the box i was shocked to find that the machine is demo item as rat mesh & top steel plate having dust & finger prints. After receiving call from kings personal about demo i told them about this mater, he told me that he will talk to his superiors & will inform me but he never call me back till this moment. I am planning to register complaint to the consumer forum.
