IFB Industries Complaints & Reviews

Customer ID 4270113 and complaint numbers- [protected] and [protected]

I was gifted an IFB microwave as a wedding present. As per the warranty all 'parts'of the microwave are covered under warranty. The glass turntable of my microwave cracked while baking during the second use itself. It broke wile it was in the machine itself. I made a complaint to the service number and was allotted a ticket number. No technician visited and...

I have raised the Complaint on the above subject and continuously follow up for the past 3 years, Before 3 years technician came and told that Drum and Bearing has to Replace . also he told that if an covering under AMC they will replace the same with free of cost and then I have done the renewal of the AMC, after that I have done the 3 AMC renewal, no one has turned up to change the drum and the bearings . I can conclude that Either IFB is cheating the Customer or they dont to do any of the service to customer, so that IFB can get the Bad impersion on the market . I have raised the compalint on 12-Feb-2016, Complaint No : [protected], after continuous follow up no one guy came and asked do u have any cloths for washing now, I said no, then u told, ok tomorrow u check and let me know . I told him if I check tomorrow also same problem will be there and asked him to change the Bearing and the Drum, without any conclusion he left from my place and Immediately i am getting the SMS that my Issue is resolved, after that Again i called to customer care and i given the complaint Number and that guy telling that there is no such complaint registered and he deliberately cut the Call and irritating me . Again I try 10 times and i got one new complaint number [protected] on 01-mar-2016, for this number also I have not received any thing from IFB and again they closed the Issue . Again I raised the complaint and new complaint number : [protected] . let me wait ... if IFB is not responding furhter need to throw it to scrap and need to say Good bye to all the IFB Products .

We registered for service of IFB washing machine.The representative from IFB who visited us told machine got drum problem and additional cleaning need to be done. He asked to us register for AMC and take cleaning service named AQUA.He billed us amount of Rs 4218 for AMC and Rs 1800 for AQUA. After that its been more than one month, complaints have been done several times and few times representative visted but the problem hasn't been rectified till now.
IFB is clearly cheating consumers with its service team.

Despite availing AMC and repeated requests and complaints, no action from customer care from IFB. Shocked to see such poor response mechanisms from so called international company IFB. Contemplating approaching consumer court for relief and resolution

Recently purchased a washing machine (Senorita Aqua SX 6.5) and a microwave oven (30SC4). Installation and demo request for washing machine just satisfactory. Installation and demo request for microwave oven not attended to till date. Ticket no. [protected] dated 05/03/2016 closed unilaterally (suo moto). New ticket no. [protected] dated 11/03/2016. IFB call centre keeps giving false promises each day. Local area manager Mr. Rudresh [protected] hands over to Mr. Vijay [protected], local service engineer. In spite of so many calls each day since 5 march the microwave oven lying unutilised. A global company of IFB should have a one-stop solution in providing customer care after self-service, which is presently blinded by it's poor irresponsible service relations. Request fixed responsibility for loss of confidence of customer and take immediate necessary remedial action.

I am customer of IFB Washing Machine. I have registered a old complaint No: [protected] on 18th dec 2015 & new complaint no: [protected] (washing machine model: IFB Senator Front LOAD 6 Kg) and it is not under warranty.
After several follow-ups, finally the IFB service man came and check the machine problems, they told us to replace the main motor and some few spares and the cost would be around Rs. 8050/-. The same amount Rs.8050/- paid on 10th jan 2016 for the spares replacement. But the problem not resolved, again we have registered complaint, but they not ready attend the problem. We tried to contact manager and service man but irresponsible answer from them, even they are asking & shouting us " why you are calling".
when ever we call to toll free number they open new complaint number and they closed old complaint number. Finally, the service man came after several follow-ups and mails. Again, they told us to replace some spares but they are not giving us the confirmation for the problem rectification.

I told them to refund the paid money for the spares OR resolve the problem. But they are not at all listen and not ready to attend the problem. They forced us to take AMC for this machine for the problem rectification.
I thought IFB is world no:1 company for washing machines, but very worst service .I don’t know why the people expecting world no:1 with worst service, you people don’t know and not able to identify the problems.
We are following with this service centre more than 2 months. But the problem not resolved.
Kindly look into this issue and resolve the problems.

Ref : Ticket No: [protected], [protected]. In the last few months I have raised several tickets for the same issue but I have reference only the last 2

Hi,

I am very much frustrated with the IFB service based on my recent experience with their designated local dealer (SHINE madurai). I raised a compliant 2 months back about noise issues with my washing machine. Since then there were series of issues and several part replacements. The technician first start started with replacing the shock absorber and stand (Spent around Rs.3500). The issue did not resolve, raised another compliant. The response was so poor and reverted back saying the spring and circuit board has to be replaced (Rs.1500). I agreed and replaced. Again the issue did not resolve, raised another compliant. Now finally they say that the issue is with the Stand. After removing the stand the issue seem to be resolved. Now the worst part is that they took the stand back promising to refund the money. For more than a month I have been following up with Customer Care and Local dealer with no progress made so far. Each time I call the customer care, the service desk person would give me a contact number to follow-up. So far I have reached to Daniel, Vinoth Raja and Priya. These guys point each other to get the update and for the past 2 weeks Vinoth Raja (I believe Branch Manager) no longer picks my phone. I am really disappointed with such bad service and I lost hope that my money would be refunded. I even doubt whether the local service dealer is genuine and properly certified by IFB.

Can someone help me on this? I am looking for some feedback on how to take this to next level.

I registered a complaint on IFB customer care Number ([protected]) at 04:26 PM vide ticket No.[protected] on 25.02.2016, regarding new T.T.Glass tray of my microwave and they have booked my complaint. On 01.03.2016 I received a call from Mobile No.[protected] (IFB Ravi Kumar) from M/s. Sheetal Refrigeration Services (service centre of IFB) asking for providing on cost of Rs.800/- of plate and Rs.220/- towards service charges.
I denied for payment of service charges and refused to take delivery of glass tray and accepted to collect it from service centre at the cost of Rs.800/-. Suddenly I received a call from mobile No.[protected] (IFB Shiva Reddy) for delivering the glass tray at free of cost and finally delivered the glass tray and issued Bill No.3230, dated: 01.03.2016 charging Rs.800/- towards cost of tray.
In evening at about 05:03 PM I received a call from customer care of IFB, Hyderabad from number ([protected]) about the service provided by service centre. I narrated the total story to her and asked the price of glass tray on which after verifying from the records and price list she informed me the price is Rs.600/- towards cost of glass tray and she further requested me wait as she is going to direct the service centre to refund back Rs.200/- which is charged excess.
On 05.March, 2016 again I received a message from IFB customer care stating that Complaint No.[protected] has been resolved. For which i replied mentioning as Not Satisfied for which I received a message and an Incidence E114358 has been generated. I submit that on 08.03.2016 at about 03:29 PM I received a call from IFB Customer care from mobile No.[protected] to her also I have narrated total incidence and then she requested me to wait and cut the call.
It can be assumed that when the total picture is cleared before the superior IFB Customer care authority that the IFB service centre played fraud with the customer by charging excess of Rs.200/- towards glass tray of microwave oven.
Hence I request the superior authority to take action against the IFB Customer Care i.e., (M/s. Sheetal Refrigeration Services) Hyderabad for the fraud played by the IFB Customer Care i.e., (M/s. Sheetal Refrigeration Services) Hyderabad with the customer.
Your immediate action will be appreciated.

Spurious material under amc
My ifb washing machine digi & kg is in amc right from the beginning. (Customer id 2434012).
Registered mobile no.[protected].
He machine is malfunctioning.

5th march 2016.:
A complaint is made with ifb.

6th march 2016:
Ifb sent a mechanic mr pramod. (Phone no.[protected] from their authorized dealer surya electronics.
At first the mechanic tried to make fool by telling that there is nothing wrong but when shown the problem and confronted, he informed that the pcb is required to be replaced.

7th march 2016:
Mr pramod came with a pcb without any packing or authentication marking identification tag.
When my wife asked about the box, the mechanic sarcastically talked to my wife and on objecting, started shouting and wanted to take out the pcb. The pcb is proof of spurious part which the franchise now want to remove from the location.

7th march 2016:
Incident reported to ifb. No action.

8th march 2016
Incident again reported to ifb. No action again..

9th march 2016:
Incident again reported to ifb (Mr suresh - supervisor).
Mr suresh arranged a conference call with the franchise.
The lady from m/s surya electronics stared shouting that till the time the spurious pcb is not returned, they can not arrange another pcb. Whereas, now, i am keeping this pcb for handing-over to authorized ifb personnel as proof of fraudulent practice.

Washing machine EVA DX Serial Num 7685 . AMC Taken from 29-March-2015 to 28-March-2017 .
The machine started giving loud noise on 29 Feb 2016 . We immediately raised complaint number [protected] . But even without any engineer visiting our home the complaint got closed on 4 March 2016.
I have raised a complaint again with number [protected]. Still no engineer has visited our home for any inspection.

I have mailed to [protected]@ifbglobal.com . There is no reply from IFB. I never knew their customer service is so bad in a major city like chennai

I submitted my complaint on 5.2.16 vide complaint no.17355809, one month passed but not got any solution. Very poor after sales service.

I have purchased a washing machine Model AW60-8061 on 24.03.2012, till than I have been suffering a lot of problems with the IFB washing machine. I have paid AMC amount for the same. If i lodged any complaint against the washing machine, the service boy attending after 6 or 7 days, & they are giving bad service to customers. on 26.08.2018 I have paid an amount of 2, 155//- to IFB for AMC for the period of 10.10.2015 to 09.10.2016, after collecting the AMC amount the service boy said to me that, the machine was full of rust in inside of the body, ( then he hit with his hammer ) hence replace the body with new one OR go for tinkering, OR sold the washing machine for Rs. 500/- to him. I surprised about his advise. after that every 7 to 8 days some persons are coming to my home and asked me- are you sold your washing machine for Rs. 500/- ? OR if you want new body, we will arrange second hand body for 3, 500/-. The IFB employees also said that the parts and body is not available to the model, hence, they will arrange second hand parts to us. They purchased the same model machine for 500/- and they sold the parts for nearly 10, 000/- to customers., with out complaint and/or asking any body how they came to my home, I seriously warned them to dont come again. On 23.01.2016 I booked a new body for my washing machine, then the service centre / employees said that they will arrange the new body with in20 days, but so far they are not arranged the same to me. I telephoned to them many many times (several ) but they are not respond to my calls, two days back again I enquired about the same, then surprisingly they said that, my new body order was cancelled and cut off my phone, I redialed for more information, but they can not lift my call. I cannot understand on what basis they cancelled my order with out intimation to me. And on 04.03.2016 I lodged a complaint against - water was not flow properly in to washing machine, but so far nobody attending the complaint. Hence, I felt that I F B is the most worst company and worst service. So please don’t purchase the I F B company washing machine.

I am customer of IFB. I have registered a complaint No: [protected]on[protected]washing machine model: AW60-205T, TOP LOAD) and it is under warranty. I thought IFB is world no:1 company for washing machines, but very worst service .I don’t know why U people expecting world no:1 with worst service, you people don’t know that what type of practical problems arising during usage of washing machines. Because we have a problem of Retrated motor, but service men don’t have any suitable equipment to open screw. you people unable to solve this problem from 20 days. We have called around 50 times to your people; they are coming once in 3-5 days, simply putting coconut oil then going. this is the service going on from since 20 days I have called so many numbers, those are,
