IFB Industries Complaints & Reviews

hi.

My terrific, bitter, awful experience with IFB Chennai customer care, Guduvancherry and Tambaram service centre
I logged a complaint on 27th of Nov 2014 for my washing machine problem, which is in warranty. Ticket No 11877322.
Nobody showed up for first one week. After 2-3 reminders to customer care, an engineer came by. For the first 2 times i don't know why 2 different service engineers used to visit and tell me what the problem is while i already know about the problem.
They don't have the habit of fixing appointment for their visit. If we don't be available at the time they say they will close the complaint (it happened from previous experience)
Initially 2 service engineers came from Tambaram service centre. Then one day i received call from Guduvancherry service centre that the service offered by Tambaram centre is bad and they would take of my complaint.
Then came the 3 third engineer and told me the same thing that what is the problem with the machine. I got furious and shouted. The engineer said within one day he will get all the spares.
again after 2 days i got a call from service centre Guduvancherry saying that Enigneer will visit and take all the spoiled part out and replace with new one. i asked to check if all the spare parts available for replacement before coming. They replied that no parts will be replaced but only the broken parts will be taken out and would be replaced on next day. (This was really testing someones patience). I asked why is it like that and got a reply they should show the broken parts to IFB and get the spares. There is no way a renowned company would do like that. And they would trust their own service engineers. However I did not accept to remove anything from my machine unless they would be replaced on the spot.
2 days gone again and i called the customer care (i lost track of how many times i called service centre and customer care since the complaint is logged). Whenever i called that the machine is not ready yet, they keep promising they would escalate the ticket.
Again a call from same Guduvancherry centre that they have taken over my complaint. 4th engineer came some 5 days back. This time i saw some improvement that he dismantled the entire washing machine and said that he will come next day with all the spare i need.
Meanwhile he told me what are the things that won't be covered in the warranty, which came around Rs. 3000 roughly. After 2 days he came with one spare but not with others. Today he came with another spare, but i was not available during his visit. He was clearly instructed at what time he need to visit. He didn't show up yet or call.
I can update later on the latest improvement.

I have received a resolution for this complaint on 13th August, though a call made by the Bangalore service executive. The refund of the amount was not done to me directly, but I was told that they would provide me with the AMC from 13th August and the amount would be adjusted for the AMC payment.

I got a call from the local representative of IFB on 7th that they would be able to repair my machine within 6 to 7 days after getting the parts. feel that the local unit here have deliberately delayed repairing of my machine so that the AMC period is over. I therefore request you to ensure that the AMC period is extended by the same period for which the Machine has remained non-functional after the mechanic visited on 19 July 2014 till the date it is finally repaired. I again request you to ensure that my machine is repaired without further delay.

Hoping to get an early reply.

My Machine was picked up for repairing on 4th September but yet to be returned although more than two weeks has passed, On My telephonic contact with the Service station at Bhubaneswar where I am located, they say that the machine has been repaired & would be delivered today or tomorrow, which they have been telling since the last seven days but not delivering the machine. I never expected such horrible service from IFB, In case I do not get my machine within this Thursday i.e 18th, I will have no other option but to lodge a complaint with the local Consumer Redressal Forum for compensation for hwilful & deliberate harassment by the company.

The service deserves minus star rating so I can not give even one star rating .as the service is horrible not bad.

Yours Faithfully

I have open a complaint first week of Jan'2015 and problem not resolved and ticket is closed with out prior concern with the customer and this is not the first time i am facing the issue with the CC people which they are following ( i used to provide feedback to CC and their managers to take an action but in vain), which leads customers unhappy.
On top that i have raised one more complaint on 20-Jan ont he same issue and no one attend till 22-Jan, i called up serval time to CC and they told me, they already escalated from their side, and ask to call Technician by providing me number (Here i am not sure what exactly CC team is doing) which No answer after make 10-15 times calling to the number. And after i called back CC they provide Technician manager number which is not working and so CC team provided me branch manager and area manager number as well which are not functioning.
On 21-Jan evening i again made a call to CC and force them to connect next level Person (B S) and he told that with in 24 hrs problem will resolve, but no one called me up or even inform about the status.
Today (22-jan) i made a call again to CC where there is no answer from CC side and still they are escalating things since 21-Jan.
I am not sure why IFB is giving such rights to that agency where they are not addressing / resolving the issues of the Customers even after paying AMC ( Annual Maintenance Charges).
I hope some action should be taken on this.

Complaint Number which raised on 20-Jan: 14737466

Dear ifb team,
Thanks for showing kind support that after 3 days I m still waiting for a postive reply from yourside. If this kind of such quick and fast response system is maintained by such a big organization like ifb gervinances team then the third class service made by your local service team is correct. As if you can't make a reply from their these service team has full justification to there job and sorry to say that this kind of serivce is not acceptable at all.
For your information I have logged on sunday for which your engineer visited my residence but still the same issue has been raised as the pcb was faulty. Still after 3 days the same has not been replaced and no satisfactory response has been provide neither by you people nor by team sitting in Meerut.
When I asked the team for change for machinery they said they can't change the machinery else I could go to consumer court if wish to. And the response from your side seem to be the same.
I urge you to either provide me a solution or replace my machinery and refund my amount or else I will have to move to consumer court with no other option .
Waiting for your respone at priority basis.

I own an IFB (Model Digital 3152) washing machine. On 06.08.2014 I registered a complaint with the IFB customer care (ticket no.[protected] as the spin button not working properly. A service person attended the complaint on 8th August 10, 2014 and advised to replace the three way valve system. Since the machine is being under AMC he promised to replace the valve free of cost. As he promised he brought a valve on the next day (09.08.2014). When I asked whether the valve is a brand new? He replied “yes” at once. But for my surprise I found it is a very old used part (rectified) even the plastic body is dark yellow in colour (suppose to be white) also it is a different model. When I insisted to say the truth he accepted that it is a very old used part and different model but he promised to manage to fit this model into this washing machine which is unfit for this machine. Then for my hell I have no words to prevent him. After a huge struggle with the machine he fixed the three hoses but not able to fix the valve on the machine body (Photos 1 and 2). When I asked he replied it won’t harm the machine. The very next day (10.08.2014) when I operated the machine I found the three way valve he fixed leaking again (Photo 3) as a result drenched the machine completely (Photo 4) including the machine’s electrical parts inside. This is not the first time I am complaining to you about the service provided to me but several times but the authority never take it seriously. So I feel really a metal torture for buying this brand washing machine.
Hence I request you at least this time take the issue seriously and do the needful at once and relieve me from metal torture.

Logged a Complaint for non-functional Clothes Dryer (Complaint Number[protected] on 19th October 2014. In spite of repeated calls to your Cal Centre, your support engineer Nadeem (Mobile [protected]) and Service Manager Hemanth (Mobile [protected]) during last 10 days, the problem is not fixed yet. Nadeem wants us to speak to your service center and advise him if spare part has arrived, when it is actually his job to check and come to us with spare parts. Absolutely poor service quality.

I have Washing Machine and dish washer. My dish Washer heater is not working. I registered compliant. The Technican told me take AMC and wait for 3 months. In the same way I took the AMC. After 3 months i register the compliant. 22-11-14 I registered the compliant. Still no one visited. I spoke many times to service centre.

In the same way for my washing machine. Machine is working perfectly. But it take less load. Service person told me to change the motor. I verified with our experts. The real problem is belt.

I bought a new IFB Senorita SX only 1 year ago in July 2013. It broke down 2 weeks ago and the customer service does not react. The spare part is not available. Do they still have to produce it? Horrible quality and service. I will never buy any product from IFB again!!!
