IFB Industries Complaints & Reviews

Dear Sir,

I purchased the IFB washing machine in Oct 2008 but it was not installed till one month. And then after installation, within few days only it started creating problems and was not working properly.
Complaint was lodged to replace the machine, but action was taken only after two months i.e. it got replaced in Jan, 2009 and I literally suffered for spending this money.

Now again it started creating a problem, as its giving an error in washing function from the time of installment. This problem was reported to the service centre and they replied saying, to check the cover again & again. But this problem is still existing and moreover the machine's rinser, spinner, drainer have also stopped working now.

I lodged the complaint for the same on 2nd Sep.2009 saying my machine is not working, but I did not get any reply. I called 7-8 times to the IFB dealers, but no step was taken till next 15 days. Finally, on 17 Sept., 2009 IFB person came and checked the machine. Then he changed the Clutch assembly and said to check it out, but unfortunately due to power out issues I was unable to check at that moment. I told them that I will check in morning (18 Sept., 2009) and will get back to them in case of any issues.

On 18th Sep, 2009 morning, on checking I found that it’s still not working. So, I reverted back to them but did not get any reply from the IFB service center. I called more than 10 times, but no one came to check it out. Finally one person came to check the machine again and he said that he will change the machine again, but still no step has been taken till date.

At this moment, I am literally REGRETTING FOR PURCHASING THE PRODUCT OF a well named company IFB, as it has harassed me both mentally as well as financially.

So, I request you to please take the necessary action against it ASAP.
Also let me know if you need any other information on the same.

Regards,
Jyoti

I am having IFB washing machine executive plus waranty of which expired in June 09. I had some unusual sound coming while the machine is in operationa dn complained to IFB service personnel in March 09 on which 2 personnel came and sia d they repaire dit and went awa. to my surprise i have noticed that the sound had increased after repair. they had replacedsome 2 parts(old parts are available with us now also).One person's name was George. we were advised by them thatthey would come on the next day and we were waiting for them. no one turned up. again we made complaint and two others came and did something and went away. when we started operating water was flowing out in our room. Immediately agains we called up the service centre. Two others came and said that they had repaird and went. After they left we noticed that the machine is kept as it is and not even screwed and closed. we were going on making complaints, but no one turned up. after lot of complaints, another 2 came and reapired and said that everything is OK and screwed and closed the machine and went away. But actually they did not do any repair. when we started operating the machine, the drum is not moving at all. from that time onwards we are making complaints, but no one turned up so far. the only alternative for us now is to fle a complaint in the court of law for legal remedy. we are also planning to give news item in the chennai local newspapers about the poor serice of IFB so that no one else will get cheated after buying their products.

I HAVE BOUGHT A IFB DISHWASHER- ZEPHYR MODEL , AFTER TREMENDOUS ROUNDS TO THE DEALER ; IT APPEARED AS IF HE HAS DONE A FAVOUR TO ME BY SUPPLYING THE DISHWASHER TO ME AFTER ALMOST 25 DAYS. THE DEALER IS SHAM LAL KRISHAN LAL , 1/206/28 , SADAR BAZAR DELHI CANTT - 110010.WHO SAYS CONSUMER IS THE KING DURING THESE TIMES OF ABUNDANCE AND ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN. I BOUGHT THIS MACHINE ON 26 SEP 2009 ; THE BILL NO IS RB-6413 AND TILL 29 SEP ( 10:30 PM) NO SERVICE PERSON HAD REPORTED FOR INSTALLATION AND DEMO DESPITE ASSURANCES BY THE DEALER.

GOD SAVE ALL THOSE WHO MADE THE MISTAKE OF BUYING AN IFB PRODUCT.

There was problem with control board of my washing machine , so i raised a complaint. An IFM service executive has taken the control board before 20 days but not yet replaced. I called nearly 20 times for different levels of IFM customer care person. But no use.

I paid nearly 19000rs to purchase the machine. but it is not working within one year and the service is worst.

I had a good opinion on IFB. now i feel bad and i decided not to buy any IFB product and not to recommend to my friends.

Hello all:

We bought IFB washing machine from Jainsons(receipt no: [protected]) in 25.11.2003 and wash motor failed on 17.9.2009

We contacted IFB service and they deputed technician. Technician found out that wash motor failed. For replacement of the same IFB demanded Rs 4225/-

Replacement motor is not having any serial number or make label. On inquiry, we find that its only a refurbished motor...

Dear Sir/ Madam,

I have purchase New Washing machine model (IFB washing machine Elite deluxe 5.5 Kgs) on 25.01.09 (which is still under warrantee period)

After purchasing the said machine i found that it is not working properly.I have made several complaints to IFB Call centre to replace the said machine, but regret to inform you that I am not getting proper response from your service centre. I never expected such poor service from your end in such competitive market & request you to take corrective steps & get the same replaced so that no other customer complains against the poor service .

I have taken this year's AMC from 29/06/09 and I reported a complaint on the heater not working from June onwards. every time I book the same complaint to the customer care toll free number, a new service person will come to my home and ask 'what is the problem mam, I have come to have a look at it'. after opening the machine, he will leave saying that he will bring the spare part the next day. he will never return. Once again I will remind the customer care for not attending the complaint and the next person comes to my home asking 'mam what is the problem?' A minimum of 4 different service persons have been sent for attending the same complaint booked on 16th August. still the problem is not solved. Apart from the service persons coming , I have received calls from persons saying that they are from IFB service These service persons will first make a call at 11.00AM saying that he wishes to attend the service call and I would inform him to come after 5 PM . The next day another person calls up asking the same question. Still the problem is not solved.

I think the chennai, thiruvanmiyur branch is running a very good business by having incompetent service persons and with telephone alone they run the service business.

this needs to be stopped and I wish the consumer forum will take necessary steps to curb this low profiled service branch of IFB and compensate the loss and harassement the service branch of IFB has done to me .

kindly ask the branch to return the money paid for AMC as they are not able to service the equipment

After sales service of IFB Washing Machine is very poor. I have registered online complaint No.3223837 on 6.6.09 which needs to be attended to with tub replacement as per their technician. However, the matter is not being attended to till now and they are not even responding to our calls. The online service centre is not effective and just working as carrying and forwarding agent.

Person from M/s Jotsna Enterprise, New alipore, Kolkata (authorised service centre of IFB) has attended my complain on 20 Ltrs Microwave Oven.In my absence they have claimed Rs.864.00 from my wife and she has asked for the bill the person is telling ok next day I shall come and collect it. After two days he has phoned me and asking for the payment where I have told him to come and collect the same on saturday 11.30 -2.30 PM.But he is phoned again in the evenibg telling that sir, pl keep it with madam I shall collect it from her. But afyer 3 days again some from the company(Jotsna Enterprise) phoned me and told me sir you have a complain our person will visit your residence to rectify the same pl give your suitable time.
It was surprising for me, when I chase them & they have started with all long stories. Please very carefull while you allow any service centre man like jotsan of new alipore, kolkata.

I am under AMC. A service person from IFB came at 1.45PM on 03.09.09 and serviced the machine by just cleaned the inlet and outlet points in front of the machine. Also Marketted and insisted to use the SCALE REMOVING POWDER to remove the scaling and it is the IFB product. Is this true? Whether IFB selling any Scale Remove Power, pl confirm by MAIL.

I have IFB Washing machine. My customer code as given by IFB is 1596677. As adviced by the IFB personnel, I had got an AMC done for my washing machine. AMC period from 17 Sep 08 to 16 Sep 09. Recently I faced probelm in my washing machine. I have been lodging complaints at the IFB Jalandhar office since 20 Jul 09 but sadly even after about 40-45 days nobody has responded. I have made more than 30 calls to different IFB representatives in Jalandhar as well as in Ludhiana. I have also lodged complaint at IFB 'helpline' and got a complaint no(3424532 dated 27 Aug 09). Thereafter I even reminded helpline no for four times and each time they claimed that theie representative shall visit us within next 24 hours. But nobody ever visited.
The service provided by the company is extremely poor and has left no choice than to lose faith in the company.

As the complaint started the door of the washing machine was not opening properly.I called the concened person as i purchased this machine from Girias,sadashiv nagar(Bangalore).The person came and checked the complaint and he went off saying that he would be back to repair it.Now it has been more than 10 days and no person or no response regarding this complaint has been forwarded.This machine was purchased within 10 months and when contacted they told that all the repairs and services would be chargeable.This is not what we expected while purchasing this machine.I would be greatly obliged if you would look into this matter as soon as possible and revert with the rectifications.

Sir,

Firstly let me introduce myself as probably the oldest IFB washing machine owner of Shimla. After purchase I persuaded a lot of my relatives and friends to purchase your washing machines. But of late I am totally unsatisfied with the follow up service by your Company despite regular AMC. Last year in January at the time of AMC the body/cover of the machine was duly replaced as suggested by the visiting technical staff of your company for the longevity of the machine. Regrettably, the machine never worked properly after the replacement of the cover. The machine vibrates so much that it even damaged the door of my new fridge that fact was duly brought to the notice of technical staff and customer care centre.
Firstly, the company’s technical staff never paid a visit in the specified time and took 20 days for visiting and attending each complaint. Most of the time they were without the spares and promised to come back, and if at all they rectified the machine it never worked for more than ten days. Rest of the details must be there in your customer care data, as I have never been replied satisfactorily to any of your SMS feedbacks too.
My machine never worked effectively and was down through out the year. In case the machine cannot be repaired, you are requested to kindly refund my AMC amount and replace the old cover with new by refunding the amount of the same.

Thanking you,

Yours Sincerely,

Amandeep Chauhan

we bought a washing machine on 6th aug 2009 FRONTLOADING 7KG from ASHOKA TRADING CO.sec 16 FARIDABAD.From the very 1st day its not spining the clothes properly.we call many times at your service centre[protected] & and also talked to the engineer.He said that i will get it checked today it self (14/08/09).its over two weeks now but nobody has turend up.Please tell us what to do now.Is this the type of service you provide your coustmer?

My machine was under breakdown due to some internal problem. Machine is still under warrenty period.
I have registered my complaint with IFB. They have send their technician through M/s Dhandeep lacocated near oswal park Thane ( W). They advice me to spend Rs.1500/- in a Stabilaizer & have not carried out any repair / Servicing to my machine. The technician installed the stabilizer & set the machine on. This was on 29.05.2009. On 20 th of this month ( Aug 2009 ) the stabilizer was failed & after my complaint M/s Dhanadeep Serivecs took the faulty Stabilizer back and put the machin on direct supply w/o Stabilizer & till today they have not replaced the same and m/c is running on normal supply. Whenever I am calling them for replacement, the reason provided is NO STOCK. If my machine can run without satbilizer than why it was forced on me to buy, and suppose it is really not safe to run the m/c w/o Stabilizer than who will be responsible for any damage to the machine as the technician kept the machine on normal supply.

My washing machine is "SENATOR" 6KGS, while operating the drum is not rotating. But the knob is rotating, water also coming asusal.if i wat to complaint through phone no: 39004321 it is not working.
