I have purchased IFB Microwave Oven 25SC1. I have purchase on 23-8-06 from vasanth and co 16/B-A south usman chennai(bill number 40010).We found after 2 months the oven not working.Mekash enterprises recieved the oven from us who was a service dealer.for one the Mekash enterprises in eldams road tenampet kept without proper response we could accept the oven without service from Mekash.It happened to take back the oven due to the reson of delay in retuning the oven to us. The oven was returned in worst condition (like cockroaches eaten the part of oven)I have lodged a complaint with the IFB Customer Service Center on 19.9.2008. After 3 month the person came and asked me to sign AMC Conract owords the oven i agreed and paid Rs 1396 (reciept cum invoice number 23492).The complaint No is 3623062 d 14.10.2009. . Since then I have been following up regularly with the IFB Customer Support Center as well as various people engaged in customer services. I have spoken to several people including the head their Appliance group . However, no result. One person is pointing at others. I have never experienced such a level of harassment from other manufacturers. This is extremely frustrating.Still the oven is with the person who has taken through customer care.Since the oven is taken after 2month from the date purchase now they are telling that some parts are missing this also i could not accept and tollerate.I have one more complaint number2785983 dt 3.3.2009.Now the personnel suggesting us to go for new one finnally.I am not financially sound person in order to purchase such branded equipment like IFB .I am informing the only reason is i have high esteem towards IFB.Even if you provide brand new 25sc1model oven to me in my case.it will be a satisfaction.My contact no is [protected].

Post sale service in India is very poor .It is a high time that strict legal action is taken against the comapny if they fail to provide a post sale service. The action could be hefty financial penality to the termination of licence of the company.

IFB Washing Machine — Lack fo response on new product

I bought a washing machine on 6 dec, from an IFB point on M G Road, Delhi. I was promised that it would be delivered and installed in 24hrs. The delivery took place, with one man who could not even carry the producut inside a ground floor house, he then dumped it in our drawing room. To date and till now, no one has come to install the product. I even called customer care and they informed me that it would be done on 8th Dec. Nothing has happened and there is a compelte lack of repsonse or action from the company . Mr.Devgan the perosn incharge at IFB point doe snto even take the calls on his mobile, what kind of a company this is I wonder-I really made a msitale by buying this product.

IFB WASHING MACHINE — Lack of action on complaint

My washing Machine is on AMC. It had gone out of order on 31-1-09. I was out of station and my wife lodged a complaint on local number[protected]. The complaint was noted but no complaint number was given. I returned on 2-2-09 morning and reminded them about the pending complaint. I was told to register my complaint on[protected] or 39004321which I did and was given complaint number 2684321. Since then I have been telephonically reminding the Toll free number as well as the local number but despite promises the machine has not been attended yet. Could you please advise what is holding action on my complaint and what more can be done by me by to make your local franchisee take action on my complaint.

I totally agree with the complainant's view. IFB sucks! I have suffered and I continue to suffer with bad support services. IFB ranks the highest in consumer complaints, yet it has no system in place to solve them. They are surely going down!

Dear IFB Company,
I Mr. Prashanta purchased one IFB Washing Machine from Rajpath Motors, Bapuji Nagar, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India before 3 ~ 4 years. Due to shortage of time our family didnot use the Washing Machine once from the purchase date. Last week I tried to use the Washing Machine. But the Washing Machine didnot run.
I donot know where is the Service Station of IFB Company at Bhubaneswar. So If Company will send Mechanic to my house for repair then I will be ever grateful to the Company.
Please, Please

Sub: Customer feedback with regard to unsatisfactory service in AMC
Ref: Customer Id:1891930 Complain No: 5380543 Dt 6/11/10
Since last one year neither my Washing machine ( IFB Eleena Model) working perfectly nor the service personnel are able to make it OK. Till date they have replaced motor & tub (Both outer & inner) twice. But since last one month, till today the machine is not working. After repeatedly failure of motor the service personals are showing their helplessness as they are telling that almost all new motors are failing!!!. The service personnel even are denying to give the service report after carrying out the maintenance work (even after motor / tub replacement), where we are also signing. It is really a regretful thing for such a high branded & internationally famed Company such as IFB. Given a preference.
IT IS SURE THAT I SHALL NEVER PURCHASE ANY ITEM OF IFB, NEITHER I SHALL RECCOMEND TO MY COLLEAGES/RELATIVES.
A few Suggestions:
1) The complain should be attended timely, preferably within 24-48 hours maximum for AMC .
2) THE IFB should monitor all the online complain after proper acknowledgement in return mail. Till date although I have put 3 online complain, but I didn't received any return mail / nor any complain nos etc.
3) Top level management like state in charge are also showing their helplessness which shows very poor image of IFB. (I am particularly speaking for the ORISSA counterpart.) They should be strengthened.

It is further requested to kindly look in to the above and acknowledge with timely & appropriate corrective action plan in return mail.

1. I have a IFB washing machine serial No 085593.
2. A complaint was lodged three months back when we were told that the bearing of the drum was faulty and therefore the whole drum was replaced and the intact drum with faulty bearing was taken back by Authorised Franchisee of IFB Krishna Enterprise Lucknow. Full charges for change of the drum and bearing was done.
3. The machine started developing noise again. IFB (Krishna Enterprises) was contacted. They assessed and again and insisted on changing the drum, bearing and the shaft. Again they have taken back the intact drum where change of the shaft and the bearing would have solved the problem. A heavy bill of 4600/- was produced and have been paid in full by me.
4. Changing a full drum for faulty bearing every three months does not stand to logic neither it speaks high of the reputation of IFB.
5. I am using IFB washing machine as well as micro oven for many years just because of the brand and reputation of IFB.
6. I would request you to check job no 6680 dt 11 Oct 12 and the history of the machine and give a suitable justification so that my impression of IFB remains maintained.

I strongly agree as I am a victim of the unprofessional, irresponsible service of IFB, I am regretting now for purchasing a IFB washing machine. IT IS SURE THAT I SHALL NEVER PURCHASE ANY ITEM OF IFB, NEITHER I SHALL RECCOMEND TO MY COLLEAGES/RELATIVES.

I have an ifb digital washing machine under AMC. I filed complaint on 25th July'14 when the machine showed error 4. Technician came on 27th and said power card is corrupt and there is no card in stock. We waited one whole week for the card listening to excuses made by the service centre personnel. Today one technician turned up with a card on 30th july but couldnt get the machine started. Now they say motor is faulty. Very much irritated by this behaviour of service centre of IFB. No professional attitude. Not expected of an esteemed company like IFB. What do they expect? I am washing 6 persons clothes by hand for the past one week. And this doesnt mean anything to that technician. He says very casually that we have to wait for another 2 or 3 days. How disgusting!!! I would never suggest anyone to buy any IFB product.

We have complained regarding noise in washing machine on 8th dec vide complaint no14429126 and still pending.i have made 100 calls but problem still persists.very poor response by frenchies.suggest to either resolve issue od donot sell these products if service is not possible. Can we get response to my problem...????ja

My complaint number [protected] which was attended by IFB technical person on[protected] and changed bearing etc. But the problem is remains same.

The drain hose pipe which was given by IFB was not the washing machine pipe. please check by the photo

malfunction of washing machine

My IFB washing machine model senorita, Its spin is not working.

Respected Sir.Madam,

I have purchased Senorita Plus Washing Machine at Chandra Traders, Chennai on 13th Jaunuary 2008.

1) During the Demo run onwards there was a problem in the machine due to Pressure Stat. The Service engineer from

J S Engineers have replaced the old pressure stat to run the machine on temporary basis till date they haven't replaced the new one.

2) Apart from the above said problems there has been water loging inside the machine on regualr basis.

3) Currently water leaking problem in the machine.

4) When ever they do servicing they never gives us the customer copy, they just take signature from us. There are chances of incorporate the contents as they wish.

Note : The service engineers attends the problem but it works only for the temprorary period. In the recent time we could not reach you customer care No[protected] and 39004321.

May I request you to look into this matter and do the needful.

Look forward for your support.
Thanking you,
Yours Sincerely

I have purchased IFB front loading washing machine 15 years. Once the local your authorised service people attended and changed the drum and other spares which costs about Rs.2, 500/- ten years back. And very often the electrical fault, front door lock problem, etc. were attended and each time nearly 1, 000-/ to 1500/- expenses I had to meet. I do not understand whether they are cheating the customers. Again it does not work even after spending the huge amount every time nearly 1.5 thousands. Now, in the recent past, again the drum has to be changed as per their observation since the bracket welded with the drum found broken by which spring is not pulling the drum. Totally machine is not working. Still I have to spend another 4-5 thousands. By this time I could have purchased another new machine. I have contacted your local distributor, who says, this old machine can be taken by him if I purchase a new machine from him for Rs27000-/ with reduction of Rs.4, 000/- against my old machine. Kindly arrange to me that I could purchase a new machine through CSD canteen where I am having such a facility and instruct your distributor to take my old machine for the amount as he had informed.

Hi,

I had bought a IFB dishwasher and within a year the PCB conked off. I registered a complaint and promptly a service man arrived and he advised to changed the PCBA. I was assured of repelacement within 4 days time. I had to make umpteen number of calls to make sure that the replacement is done on time. The worst thing about IFB is that the company never bothers to call us back and tell us about the status. I am sure no other company would have such horrendous service.
