We bought a washing machine 1 month back.But we used it for 2 weeks and after that its drier got complaint.We called the customer service center of the IFB.They took several days to come and look the machine.They asked to replace a board and take several days to come.Now we are requesting to replace the machine.But they are making many excuses.The machine has got 4years warranty.Please consider this.
We took the machine from:Pittappallil agencies ,angamaly,kerala
Invoice no:2200

We raised a complaint (No. 5035636) on 1-Sep-10 regarding our fully automated IFB Washing Machine with IFB Service Centre, Chennai. Even after several calls to Customer Care, Service Centre Manager (Landline & Mobile), the service is not closed till date (23-Sep-10). The product is covered under AMC. It is becoming painful to follow-up IFB Service, as either they don't provide necessary info. or they ask us to call the Manager. When we try to reach the Manager, he doesn't pick up the line at all. We are facing one of the poorest service from IFB.

Hi,

I have lodged an complaint with IFB customer care 5 months ago as the Water is leaking from the soap powder tray of my washing machine. Two days after a service person attended and suggested me to go for an AMC to resolve the issue. I have bought an AMC with IFB customer care immediately and from then on I was lieterally frusturated on calling this service persons, eventhough, i lodged a complaint they come after 1 or two week later (meanwhile, i would have called atleast 25 times). In each visit they try to post pond as if they dont have the parts and it needs to be procured as the mode is very old.
Till now my problem was not solved, but they have charged me more than what is required for the actual repair. Actually they force customers to by AMC and thereon, they leave them unattending. Something needs to be done against this.

My ifb washing machine is not working from 4st September and machine is under warranty.
My complain no[protected] registed on 4th of September till this date they have visited 4 times but till now our problem is unsolved.
I have called up jet services but they are not able to solve the problem instead of solving our problem they are not attending the call right now.
Jet service manager Mr akshay khade use a slang language when ever we call him.
Then we called up executive officer Mr shashank bushan
he is also not responding to our complain instead of solving our problem he just laugh on us.
After that we called up area service head amrin but once she picked our call after that she just reject our call and never pick our call.
Last to last we called up Mr mathur westen region service head of ifb but he is also not able to solve our problem not even giving us replacement of machine.
I am totally unsatisfied with ifb product and services.

Sir / Madam, I have complained on line on 10 Sep 10 after getting fed up for almost three months for poor and pathetic service by Mr. Shiva, IFB technician.But to my surprise except a phone call from head office, Ambatore,no positive responce and service is provided tilldate. Is there no competive autority to direct a better after sales service to maintain a good image of the company.Thanking you in anticipation.

I have purchased IFB washing machine Senator DX. From the beginning it is giving troubles. Service attendants attended several times. I came to know that this model is a flop one. We have spent a lot of money on this machine. It appears that there is a defect in manufacturing on this machine. Owners having Senator DX may advise me if they got redressal by any other means. I also appeal to the public not to purchase IFB washing machine by brand name.

Ref: AMC No. : IFB/ G/ 20269
We had first lodged our for the above mentioned IFB Washing Machine on the 1st of Sept 10 for which we given a complaint no. 5035266 dt. 1/9/09.
However, on nobody attending our complaint, we had to send a reminder by Email.
Following which, one IFB representative came to us on the 4th, checked the machine and told us that certain parts (that are readily available) need to be replaced and...

I was assure of job gaurantee for the program I enrolled in that was Post Graduation In Banking & Financial Services (PGDBFS).It was a six months course and I paid my hard earned money which was 60000/- + admission fees extra of 500/- .The institute just conducted fake interviews and said the joining would be after the completion of the course .Now its almost 2 months now they say the date of joining is postponed no appointment letter is given no confirmation is given on calling they are avoiding calls no response is there from their side no certificate of the course is given no proof is there that we have completed our course

My course started on 1st march 2010 and got completed on 1st aug 2010 .

Despite promising to service my complaint within 24 hours my complaint No 5073340 dt 9/9/2010 has not been resolved by the service provider Antek services-Malad-east on behalf of IFB Industries Ltd.
A have a AMC for 2 years for my Washing Machine model Supremeo.

Very poor response, the telephone of Mr Anil Divakaran -the Man in charge of this agency is always switched off.

I bought a IFB Microwave oven and unfortuantely it got repaired in augest. I raised a complaint and the company sent the executive. The executive on inspection informed that the MICROWAVE will be actively working now, but the same problem is being faced by myself , as the executive has also charged Rs 276 as maintenance charges but after that there is no response from the executive . Since then neither i am able to trace the executive nor any response from call centre is futile. Finally i was shocked last week that my complaint has been closed completely and i raised a fresh complaint.
My first complaint ID is [protected]

Its a shame for a company like IFB to offer such a poor service to customers

I am in new delhi and it will be great if someone can provide me the top level heads number in IFB so that i can escalate this issue ....

I have initially registered this compaint over phone on 28-AUG-2010 and complaint no. is 5013325. After several follow ups Technician turned up on 03-SEP-2010 and said the machine has to be taken to the workshop and he will be calling me in the evenign when they will be coming to take it but it never happened so far. The inital problem reported was Error E-04. When the technician came in on 03-SEP-2010, he further made a damage to door which is not even closing now (because of one loose screw). After that no one turned up to take the machine and i have been spending all my day (in office / home) to follow up IFB on the status and there is no response yet. All promises made by IFB customer support / team / managers tured out to be false. This is not at all acceptable. The complaint is registered on 28-AUG-2010 and it has been almost 14 days now and nothing has happened. Am going thru a lot of pain because of this and the daily expenses am incurring towards this and also the phone calls. Appreciate if you can look into the matter and resolve it ASAP. If IFB is not interested to resolve the complaint, i would urge them to take the product back and give me my money back. Whatever it is, i would expect it to be resolved by 17-SEP-10. So one more weeks of time i gave them and also putting my complaint here. The product is under 2 years warraty given by the company itself which is upto 29-SEP-2010. I have also taken 2 more years extended warranty on 31-AUG-09 by paying them Rs.2572/-. This is a digital 6kg washing machine from IFB. I have been following up calling the customer care and the local service center here (Raju / Naresh / Anupam / Gopi) but it is just left like that. Days are passing by but none of them seem to be interested in resolving this. Anupam (who is the escalation manager) told that he would be sending the senior technician on 08-AUG-2010 and so far could not able to. If being a manager he is not able to influence and get things done then whom should we approach. This is a nightmare. Am never ever going to recommend anyone to buy a product from IFB. Appreciate if this could be looked at as a priority,

Request # 120229 put in on 28 Aug for dishwasher salt, powder and liquid. No response even after two weeks despite several reminders to the customer care number [protected], the local service centre 32240707, the Mumbai IFB executive [protected], local service centre proprietor [protected].

Not my first unpleasant experience with IFB.........they are cheats who only want you to purchase their products and then simply dont care anymore. You've paid them already for the machine, so who gives a damn!!!!!

When the dishwasher was delivered to my home, it didnt work when unpacked and demonstrated by a IFB technician. They had the guts to suggest that I get it repaired!!!! Some very strong language got them to replace the faulty machine.

A request to replenish salt, powder and liquid for the machine took three weeks to be serviced and that too after complaining to the IFB head office and the Mumbai IFB representative. One of the service centre staff even had this to say.."we forgot that you had requested these supplies".

My strong suggestion to everybody out there......DONT BUY ANYTHING FROM IFB !!!!!!!!

AMC Receipt No. 3654, dt.09.07.2010

Customer No. 1455302 - Break-down request No. 5050170
Inspite of several requests to customer care, and Local technicians Mr Gopi –Mobile No. [protected], and Mr Nani – [protected] , My washing machine has not been rectified even after 15 days of my request.
Importantly the machine is under AMC, the response of their technicians very irresponsible .
One of the technician has visited site after break-down request, and left the message that his brother will call on next day. His brother Mr Gopi has called on the next day, and informed that machine has to be sent to their workshop, and he can assess what has to be done after that, He also told me I had to pay charges for replacement of parts. I cleared informed repeatedly requested them to assess the damages, and scope of AMC, before sending the machine to their workshop. But ever after 15 day no action has been taken.

It is very irresponsible attidute, by your technican of Mr gopi, when I am rquesting to provide details.
