IFB Industries Complaints & Reviews

IFB is rouge company, consumer should avoid to purchase product of IFB, but is is surprising that CROMA (a TATA subsidiary) is selling product of such disgusting company like IFB. you should immediately approach consumer forum and complaint against IFB as well as CROMA

i agree and one should take strict action against such poor company who fails to deliver after sale service and harassing consumer, must file complaint against IFB as well as CROMA for cheating in the name of after sale service

Consumer should beware of purchasing any IFB product, but i am not able to understand why Tata is selling this product under its company CROMA, IFB is running name of CROMA also

Hello All,

Below Mail I sent on 27 Spe2010 to IFB but didn't recieved any reply, Even I faced the same problem when my micro wave 30SCR1 is out of order,

I bought a dishwasher on 25 Sep. 10, Saturday from next and raised the installation request # 5169833 on same day, Customer Care executive told us that the request should be completed within 24 hours. After passing the SLA time (24 hours) I called to customer care and they told that Service Centres are closed on Sunday, so by tomorrow yours complaint should be completed.

As the IFB service centres are closed on Sunday so I took first half leave on Monday so that my installation will be done and at 10:00 AM I called to IFB Gurgaon Service Centre (Surya Electronics) on[protected], 4080532 talk to Miss Neeraj & Engineer Mr. Ashish and requested to complete my installation before 01:00PM and I told them that I am on half day leave, I have to reach my office at 01:30 PM and need to punch my card otherwise I’ll not get the pay of my second half. They replied that they will complete this before 01:00PM and engineer will reach to yours home within 1 hour but unfortunately at 11:00 AM the engineer didn’t reach me.
I called again there and ask when he will be in to my house? They replied Sir with in an hour he will be there.
Again at 12:15 PM I called and asked already 2 hours are passed when should I expect the engineer at my home? They replied that “Sir, we are issuing the accessories to the engineers and he will reach you in half an hour.”

Unfortunately the Engineer reached to my home at 01:10 PM and completed the demo at 01:45 PM.

If you feel that the customer time is important then please answer the below questions:

In NCR 80% couples are working in private MNCs and they have off on Saturday & Sunday, even a survey says that in NCR 70% of shopping is being done on weekends, so why IFB service centres are closed on Sunday? Why not like LG, Sony, Whirlpool, Kent has their weekly off on Monday or Wednesday?
If your service centres are closed on Sunday and you have lots of calls & load on Monday, so why you are issuing the accessories (parts) to engineers at 12:00 NOON so that he will start the calls at 01:00PM?
Why the IFB services Centre Engineers are not work after 06:00 PM?
Who will be responsible for delay of my Dish Washer installation & for my second half off? Who will compensate.

I am

we had no problem with them in past although major repair work of rs.3500 was carried out in 2007 .payment was made only after doing job and rendering service.
pl look into matter

Dear Sir,
on 10th March 2009 I lodged a comlaint about my wasing machine against your Ticket No. 2806455.Your Service Engineer visited my house and was more interested in selling the Washing Powder, which he did, instead of attending to the machine.
He promissed to visit again within 2 to 3 days with part which was to be replaced on Payment Bases.
We are still waiting for the gentleman to turn up and fix the Machine.
He was very quick to fool my mother by selling the washing powder but lacked the commitment to resolve the Problem.

This is not expected from a company like you.You must attend to the needs of your customers who are dependent on you for service.I hope you understand.
Kindly treat this very seriously and set the machine right otherwise I will be left with no option but to take a firm legal action against you, because I have paid to you for extended warrantty and service while Purchasing this machine.

with regards
Kunal Kaul

Dear Sir/Madam,

IFB / AW 60 - 8061 — Defective part replacement not done

Hi, I had logged a complaint on 23rd march I believe but i got a message on 1st April with the complaint no 2881321 and 2nd April I got a message stating that the issue has been fixed and the call is closed. Then I called up the local IFB franchise and engineer came to my home and took the board for replacement since it is under warranty period. But till today there is no proper response from the franchise. I spoke to the Md of that franchise even though no proper response. They are extending the date like the parts will be coming with in two days like that. I totally fed up with the service providing from IFB and I will not go for IFB for future requirement. I never saw such worst service from any vendor. Almost 20days over but still they are extending the days for part replacement. I will wait till Friday 10am if the parts not replaced then i will to consumer court for the said issue.

Regards,
Guru.

IFB — Regarding servicing of senator ifb washng machine

i purchased machine from PAtiala 2 years earlier. But i have clalled the srvice centers at Ludjhaian for servicing of the machine and also called the company. But still no response.

I had a similar problem with my belt and is also in the AMC currently with IFB. Still the service executive told me to pay Rs. 580 for the belt. I asked for the receipt of that payment so he said he cannot give the receipt. How can you trust about the price of the part if there is no receipt.
Also, the part are not avalilable seperately. I think i made a huge mistake of life by purchasing IFB product.
Shouldn't they charge me Rs. 320 alone as i am already under the AMC?

The undersigned is an extremely dissatisfied customer .

The afore mentioned machine purchased is not over one year of completion wherein I have had the following complaints .

1) The switch has fused more than 3 times.
2) The drum is leaking
3) There is vibration in the machine and the machines moves 2-3 feet from its position.
4) Further, every time a complaint is registered & attended to the service station company fails to give me a copy of the same. Despite, having asked them repeatedly and even speaking to some of your top brass heading Kerala State for IFB. This has become a game of eye wash.
Sincerely hoping that the company takes immediate action and replaces the machine.

E .No. WMA07A165IN/17, Serial NO.[protected] had purchased on 25/03/2009 from M/S Vijay Electric Company, Jawaharlal Nehru street, Pondicherry and dispatched without showing condition of the purchased product.

On 28/03/2009, one person introducing himself as service engineer belonging from siemens home appliances (Pvt) Ltd, came in person to install the washing M/c and also to demonstrate the above while opening of the pack before installation, the service engineer saw the top of the washing M/C got damaged due to whatever reasons.

The service engineer installed the above and demonstrated how to use the washing M/C despite the piece in damaged condition with the assurance given by him to change the damaged top cover. Till now, the dealer/ Service engineer neither replace the top cover nor replace washing M/C.

Meanwhile, I approached the dealer several times regarding replacing the washing M/C but ended in vain.

ifb elena — Broken Rubber

Dear Sir,
I have purchased IFB Elena from Pune dated (1st of May 2009), but the demo and installation of

machine was done dated (28th May 2009).

Then after words I used my machine once and I recognize that there is leakage in machine. Then I saw

the machine and I found that front doors rubber is broken. From that day I did not use machine.

And I am trying to contact with costumer care from last few days but I can't get connected why I don't

know. I think that IDEA cellular is not supporting this kind of facility.

I have sent an email twice to "[protected]@ifbglobal.com" but I can't get reply.

I am requesting you to change machine's rubber as soon as possible.

Thanks,

they are not giving spares to individuals with proper receipt .
They are charging huge lprice for the spares.

I donot understand why the IFB is not willing to make available washing machine spares as belt when there is no necessity of serviceman at costomer end.AS such company is enforcing to gain extra charges for home visit to fix the spares as belt too.

Special attention may be given to the requests of, where both of them are working.

Still the drum noise is there. IFB may depute its rep. for rectification.

Hi,

I'm also facing the same problem with IFB Washing machine. I've lodged a complaint on[protected] and am yet to receive a response. The mart people are also not responsive. The customer care executive at Reliance Mart is not even willing to give me the contact details of the representative from IFB. I really wonder how such a reputed brand can be so indifferent towards customer complaints.
Instead of going by the brand, I now feel that it is always wise to choose a brand after checking the availability of service centres in the vicinity. Else we may have to face such problems, irrespective of the brand.

Let us see how long it takes for my Washing machine to come back to shape.

Hi, I would like to know the price of 'Motor Speed Control unit' [Common]..

IFB WASHING MACHINE — change of parts

its has already been 2 weeks since i am calling the appointed agency ie rachna agencies for the replacement of tumbler in my washing machine but no one is over there to attend it.dont know what to do kindly advice.
thanking you
mazhar malak

The same irritating customer care by IFB, they don't give the price of the spares, they don't give the spares, they don't give the address of their distribution office. They send people to loot. I doubt whether is there any sense in buying IFB.

Sorry for the long story but worth reading if you are going to buy IFB. This is on both the Speed Control Board & Soinoid valve on 2 nos of Senorita Plus purchased within a span of 2 yrs. You might be thinking I am a fool to do so. But I learnt the lesson the hard way.

Firstly I had a problem with the solinoid valve. Service engineer attended within a week to see what happened. He said that Solinoid valve(The automative valve for the water inlet) needs replacement. To my surprise this happened within months after the warranty(I am surprised because exactly the same problem I encountered with another machine of the same model in my uncles house). They say he valve the service charge togather would cost you around Rs. 800(This happened more than 1.5 yrs ago, sorry if the price is wrong). However he said he will bring the part and fix it. The service engineer never turned up even after many call to him or his manager(I struggled a lot to get this phone number). Finally when I contated the manager, he said that there is no stock. This went on for 5~6 weeks and always the same reply.

After waiting for so long, as the valve was normally open and it not closing automatically, I was using the water connection by ensuring the water supply manually. This was working and one day I noticed a spark with some noice and the machine stopped.

I registed another complain in addition to my existing one to attend to this. This time the service engineer took few weeks but came back with the solinoid valve. However he told that the Speed control board is now burnt and needs replacement and it costs me Rs. 1600+service charges. I was really frustrated and asked him to leave my machine as is and go.

I am a mechanical engineer by profession. I did some study with the help of my friends and leart that one relay is burnt aling with small amount of the track on the speed control circuid board. At the end Lot of Hard work to investigate the problem it costed me Rs.25 + the soldering charges(I gave 100/- as he did a good job on the damaged track).

I know every one can not do the hardwork I did, but everyone can easily understand the difference between Rs. 25 & Rs. 1600/-.

I wish all the good luck to those who by anything from IFB.

IFB Washing machine/Elite 5 kg — Machine not working even after changing motor

I made complaint to IFB call centre on March 14, 2010 for my washing machine/ELITE 5 kg which was not drying clothes. It was attended next day and person informed that motor has to be replaced. He changed the motor today and I also got one year AMC done and paid all together a whopping Rs 6643/- (Rs 4216/- for motor) for both. But the same problem still persists. Machine is not drying the clothes even now and one more problem has been added after this motor replacement that it has started making mysterious noise. This mechanic came form SURYA ELECTRONICS (An authorized IFB service provider). Now I sincerely doubt whether that person caught the fault at all or just unnecessarily changed my motor which has costed me so huge. Motor might have been ok and there might have been some other fault. I am trying SURYA 's telephone number but no number seems to work; whether it is a landline or a mobile.

I feel helpless and disgusted and dont know what to do so that problem is solved without any further agony to me

hello to all IFB sufferers,
i am also one of the IFB victims from Mumbai.
i own wash machine sinorita since 3 years. and from month one the machine started giving trouble.though the machine was under annual maintainance contract for two years; some major parts had be replaced quiet a couple of times. For the third year i declined the fruitless and pathetic AMC offer.
my grief is same as others. IFB"S SERVICE AND THEIR POOR PRODUCT. its pathetic. while lodging complaint once out of other numerous times i had also heard an excuse in rude and blunt tone at 3 pm that "i am having lunch, call later". After which the call went unanswered over and over again.This is a kind of profeciency IFB has while handling the complaints.
i feel as troubled consumers we must flood the IFB email box with our complaints as well. i have no clue if any IFB personnel is sorting these complaints at consumercomplaints.in
My advice would be get rid of this self-bought trouble named IFB wash machine somehow, and switch over to another brand with a good service. unless their sales get affetcted company is not going to wake up.
best luck and happy washing.

IFB Model Executive plus — big noise while spin

I had registered a complaint on the 22nd of March re;my IFB Executive Plus making huge noise while spinnins going on. I have been calling the toll free # everyday since no one had attentd to my complaint.Every time i was told someone would come within 24 hrs. Till to day i am still complaining&no one has yet attended to my complaint. this is very frustrating & annoying.i even spoke to the service center manager mr.arris as i was told but so far no action has been taken. i hv also taken a AMCafter my first complaint which was on11.3.2010.i haveen your customer for the last 17 years. hope some one will take notice of this complaint.

IFB WASHING MACHINE — no replacement of required spare part

I put in a complaint about a bad noise in my machine and the mechanic came on Thurs 15th April. He promised to come the next day with the required spare part .

Today is Monday the 19th and I am still waiting after having made 2 more complaints. I finally got the phone nbr of the Vadapalani office(Chennai) and spoke to a Ms Radhika who promised to get back asap.

At 10.30 a Mr Velu called me back(The first return call from IFB) and gave me a long story about how the part has to come from Goa!! Finally after I had shouted a lot , I got another number of a Mr Saravanan who has now said someone will come by 3pm. All this has happened because I yelled and screamed over the phone at various people and who knows if someone will really come? In my 65 years, I have not had to do so much yelling. Tell me what exactly you mean by CUSTOMER CARE?

I am unable to get a service station in Assam. When I called up the IFB consuler helpline they gave me two disfunctional numbers. They never had one for Guwahati. They gave one for Dibrugarh and they gave me a another mobile number for their office in Kolkata. The mobile never worked. Why sell when you can't service???!!!

Infact I have always had problem in Hyderabad AP as well. They never return the So called worn out part and claim damadges worth half the cost of the machine.

Disgusting company this IFB!!

what is the price of motor speed control unit?My washing machine is IFB Senorita plus.

IFB WASHING MACHINE DIGITAL — INDIFFERENT ATTITUDE OF IFB CENTER

The service rendered by the organisation is not upto the mark,it is seen that the complaints are never attented and the couldent careless attitude has become dominent with this organisation.The after sales and service deparment seems to have persons recurted to only haress and drive customers away from repurchase or recommemding this organisation.
The senior managers exsit only on papers for they are NEVER AVAILABLE THE MOBILES ARE SWITCHED OFF and landlines GOD BLESS .
TO CUT SHORT HITLER WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD TO HAVE THE PERSONS IN THE SERVICE DEPARMENT IN HIS TEAM

IFB WASHING MACHINE DIGITAL — Non compliance of complaint noted on 29/09/2010 video No.:- 5178072

I had purchased IFB Front loaded Digital- 7Kg. washing machine on 02/01/2008 from Reliance Retail Ltd. Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Its article code is Fan Code:[protected].

I have extended warranty of the said Washing Machine from 02/01/2010 to 01/01/2012 vide card Sr.No.13318.
My genuine complain is non locking of door. I had complained to your call centre on 29/09/2010 vide complain no:5178072. Call centre had given promise to attend complain within 24 hrs.

After several reminders & follow up to call centre, a technician Mr. Desai from Vaibhav Electronics had attended on 06/10/2010 & Found door switch is to be replaced. He promised to change as early as possible. I waited for two to three days & again remind to call centre team leader. He replied that he had put urgent massage.

I would like to explain with great sorrow that not a single time the number 30002153, 30005412/13 & [protected], given by call centre, was responding. Personally my son had visited three times at Vaibhav Electronics, for non-compliance of complain. They have referred IFB Service centre, Ahmedabad. Personally my son had visited the same. Also, on Phone no: 30189467, I had talked with Girishbhai of IFB Service centre, Ahmedabad on 13/10/2010. He, after confirmation with his service Executive- Yogita Madam, promised me that the technician had already been allotted the task to solve your complain today only. Technician Shri Gulab Jaishwal had visited my home & said that he belongs to different agency & for spare it will take three- four more days. I again dialed to Girishbhai & mention the details then he turned his stand that he had not given promise to change the pants.

Sir, till writing this I have no solution. Daily I have to pay Rs.50/- for washing the clothes. In addition we feel great harassment. Why I should not file legal suit against your company for harassment?
Hoping for your immediate action for compliance of complain & compensation.

I am a proud ownwer of IFB senorita plus which was working smoothly for the last 9 yrs.
After going through all the complaints, i feel pity on the company's after sales division. The following suggestions are given below for the consideration of IFB Management which may surely rebuild the transparency of the cost of the spares and service charge. I am happy to find from the official site of IFB abiut the service charge to be paid in different locations based on the status of the city.I appreciate the concerned for publishing it.As IFB is the Popular and pioneer brand in the frontloaded machines, many may be looking for replacement of the spares due to ageing.Hence it is the high time to publish the actual price of the various spares and list of the stores with address.
I am also a victim who lost huge money due to the wrong handling of the machine during the service by the service technician.I informed the service technician about the excess sound due to the damaged bush of the motor.he came and replaced the bush and after the service when we started the machine with load we observe water is leaking from drum.Whiile removing the fixing bolt of the motor he could have damaged the drum by his bad workmanship.Now I am helpless and want to replace the whole setup with huge cost for the spare.If the mange ment is interested in customer care kindly take immediate steps to improve the after sales service with moderate charges and making available of the spares at reasonable price..
Thanks and reagrds

IFB machines are good, if you are lucky to get a good piece, but if you need IFB after sales service, i can assure you, its very expensive, opaque and useless.
Question is, which company has good after sales service, because i would rather buy a more expensive machine, as long as the after sales service is first class.

best wishes,
samir.

wats the cost of washing machine handle cost
can usend its price list to the my maiil its [protected]@gmail.com


its a 6 k g wasing machine

my wasing machine handle is broken wats the cost of handle and lock

The same complaint, i was in need of belt for my senorita plus and there is no other problem with my machine, IFB care is asking us to pay service charge Rs.300 + tax. The cost of belt is Rs.580. IFB should redeem their rules and policies. Customers should be flexible to get spare parts as if they require.

vimal

service under AMC is pathetic!

I had to call up the service agency for nearly two weeks repeatedly to get them attened my problem. The technical who came replaced the rubber belt and billed me Rs. 650 for that, i really don't know this part cost that much! and after that he told me that the machine has to be descaled and I agreed. For descaling he charged me another Rs.750 .When asked, he told me that he had used 5 packets of descaling powder costing rs. 150 each. I feel that the service agents are capitalizing on customer's ignorance..!

Binu

If IFB is good, then all their product must be good. No point in saying if theres luck we get a good piece !!!

I dont think the executives who turn up to our homes are genuine as they give different rates and to my surprise even the customer support team support them !

IFB - Senator Washing Machine — Non supply of spares and parts (belt)

Dear sir,
I purchased one washing machine of IFB-Senetor from M/s Union Radios, Jhansi on 03.10.2011. The dealers (M/s Union Radios and AMC dealer Mr. Mubeen Khan Jhansi) of the company have not attended my complain regarding repair and maintenance of the washing machine after expiry of the AMC on 03.10.2008. As such I got the washing machine repaired from the local market. Now the dealer and representative of the company M/s Bharat have denied to supply the belt required for repairing of the washing machine which not readily available in the market. As a result my washing machine remains out of order since last one month. I made several complaint with the dealers of the company and representative of the company. None of them have responded more than one month passed. I also complained on company website on 08,09 & 11.11.2011. But no fruitful result achieved till date. I request you to kindly intervene into the matter and take remedial action at your end.
With regards

IFB WM Executive Plus — Water automatically in

Sir,


IFB WM Executive Plus automatically water in while machine ON/OFF and some time water pump not working.

My Mother-in-law had purchased a washing machine from IFB 2 years before. We used it only for 3 - 5 months and when my moth-in-law had cancer, my wife had moved to her house and for 1 and half years she did not use the washing machine. Now the water inlet value does not work and I had called the guy 2 months back. IFB guy came and estimated the cost to be Rs.1500/- plus service charge. I had asked him to go ahead with it, but untill now there is no response form IFB. The most stupidest service ever. My cousin has also similar exprience with IFB front loading. The quality is so bad that after warrenty period we have to chenge every spare. now in 4 years she has changed everything, even the cabin.

I would strongly recommend that we need to raise this concern in the cunsumer court and stop such brands from our country. Make customer satisfaction important like in US/UK or any other country.

Regards,
Darius

I am using IFB MODEL AW60-8061 AT MUZAFFARPUR BIHAR, Please let me know the price of spin moter.because your service man charged Rs.1431 without any othorised bill.so in this regards please call me [protected] or mail [protected]@yahoo.co.in for the same.

Washing Machine — need parts

i need a door for whirlpool professional pud651 washing machine. I searched more than 3 districts still i didn't found.May i know where can i get it?

what is the price of motor because my m/c motor is sort ? My washing machine is IFB Elena modal.call me on this No [protected]

May I know the price for IFB washing machine valve

I have one IFB Elina purchased on 2004. It was used for 1 year and kept unused for 3 years. On 4th year when I have started every thing was ok . after using fo 6 months, it has given some problem that suddenly it was stopping while running, then we have to switch off for 30 minutes to start again. I have contacted the service center, they responded and sent the person. The person told the motor, circuit board, sock-absober are damaged, and it will cost 5000. I have checked with him to change only circuit board and try. He has not agreed. He has given one suggestion to go for 3 year amc for 5000 so that he can repair it in free of cost. I choosed the 2nd option. After paying for AMC, they have replaced the circuit board only. Now the machine is running fine for last 2 years. Regarding AMC no person contacted or not yet turned up till today for regular checkup or service.

I do not know what I should do if there will be some problem, I may have to pay more.

How many price of ifb elena washing machine's internal valve code are 329203

I own a Senator for the past five years. First and foremost, IFB customer service sucks. I am an electronic engineer by profession and I understand what might go wrong in a circuit. Not more than 50/- bucks part for which IFB charges 1500/- + service charges. Their technicians are no more than highschool grads. They fit old parts. When asked, they say Senator is out of market and so parts were purchased a long time back and so they look old. Absolute nonsense. In the past one year I have spent 15000/- rupees to get my perfectly working machine repaired. Firstly the motor went off. Then the belt. Then the seal rubber. Then the shock absorbers. Then the MCU. The door lock. And finally unbelievable, the Gear Board. Apart from the body, there is nothing left to change. Now I cannot sell the machine as no one would offer me more than 2000/- bucks and I have spent more than the price of the machine. I would not recommend IFB to anyone. They have completly lost their brand.

I have a similar experience where my ifb washing machine stopped working. I called the technician and I was told that the speed control board is damaged and needs to be replaced. He said it ill cost 5500. He brought new board but failed to show me MRP for the same. I came to know that the board actually cost 1500. This is the height of nonsense charges that do and completely make fool of the customer .. There is absolutely no transparency and trust. The IFB call center itself is not very helpful. Guys if you are reading this please be vary of the fraud practices which is giving IFB a very bad name.

I have a similar experience where my ifb digital 6 kg washing machine stopped working. i called the ifb technician he came and check the machine & say that speed control board + balancing + doors lock is not working all parts is replace this cost is 5600/- this parts warranty is 6 months . + 2 yrs amc is 6500/- total cost is 11000/- this is very high charges .I tell the guy that i buy such costly machine. then why such machine is stop working . he say that you buy as costly as . then pay as much as. & this machine is not as good as other.if we buy so costly machine . & we thing that machine is working properly but end of day every people is same .

I have a bad experience with IFB. The water did not drain from the machine. I complained to customer support and two support technicians visited next day. Before checking the machine, they said that the drain motor has to be replaced. I asked them to check first and then suggest solutions. Within few minutes, they found a socks in the drain pipe. The total service time is less than 5 min and they charged me Rs.400. Though it was my mistake that I should have checked properly, charging this much for no service is a pathetic support from IFB.

Today the water was not coming to the detergent box. I opened the machine myself and found the problem is in one of the water inlet valve. I swapped the inlet power connections as a temporary fix to get water in detergent box. I can replace the valve myself but I fear that I may not find the replacement in retail shops. Definitely I am not going to loose my hard earned money to worthless service.

I am using ifb Elena since last 3 years.i have used this machine hardly for 10 times in 3 years.Machine had a problem recently.i had booked a complained.Technician came to my house & asked for guarantee card & receipt.I did not get the receipt at home.Technician has refused to give service unless we pay service charge & spare part money.i am sure company has all record about manufacturing & when it sold to dealer & customer.How ever just trouble the customer they don't give service.I have many other product from L.G .Samsung where i never had such type of problem from them.
I feel customer should not buy product if company refuse to give service or spare parts with proper receipt.

I have purchased IFB machine model No AW60 -8061 in 2008. Machine had a problem so I called IFB service center (Laxmi Nagar delhi) to see the issue, after examine the person said you need to change shoker's and gear box as both are worn out, I asked for the cost of same for which he replied to be 8000/-Rs. I have just check online the price of same new machine is Rs 12250/-.
How this is possible.

I feel people should buy such product whose spare parts are too costlier.

HI,
i have a fully automatic washing machine i bought couple of months ago, since day one we are face some or other problem, some times the pipe through which the water should go in is not working, or our cloths are getting torn, when we went to buy this machine we were said by the shopkeeper that in case of any problem we can call him and let him know the problem and he would send some one to fix the problem, that is what was going on so far, but as of now even he has been overlooking our problems, when i got this machine i wanted a machine to help me and not to give me headache or stress,
is not that i have totally been relied on that shopkeeper, i did call IFB person to come and fix the machine, he did nothing new and spent all of his time on a call talking to someone what to do and how, when asked if he is new he said no body buys this washing machine and he has no experience of this machine.

We bought the elena washing machine for 4 years ago and it went faulty frequently.
Every time the service person changed some parts and collected more that 1.5K every time from my parants(Happend 4 times)
It went faulty again and the service person says there is fault in the timer which costs 3912 rupees.
No clue what to do.
Very very very bad customer service and service team (They just loot the money)

arasu

Spare parts cost is very high and we don't no the sparepart condition when ever we called the service engineer every time he change the any one of the part related to the machine I buyed this mavhine(eLENA model) ON SEP 2008 till now i spend the repair cost and descaling cost nerarly 6000rs.Currently another repair is going on expected cost is 1600rs.

If this is the case I plan to resale or through the machine and by new machine with another manufacturer.

Srinivas rao

bad experiance with IFB regarding the spare parts and AMC if AMC is there why should we pay for spare parts cost for such a small period of 6years . that showes the manufacturer have no confidence of their spares like soilnoid valves and other rubber parts which are not effect the over load . If motor fail we can ubderstant that may the mistake of the end user but solinoid valves and rubber parts not relat to over load.

but these are also fail freequiently.


Srinivas rao

I have been using IFB senorita plus model for the past 8 years.Last week i had a problem with the drum and registered
a complaint with the customer care.Next day a guy came from the service centre and told me that i have to take amc so that the cost of the spare parts would be less and he estimated the cost as 7500 including the amc.He took 4000 from me to cover the amc and advance for the parts, i got it changed after a week and number of calls.Finally after changing the drum, bearing and the rubber sleeve the mechanic gives me a bill for 3500 which does not mention the rates of individual parts or the service charges and i got to know from the mechanic that the cost of spare parts are covered by amc only after 20 days, then why did i have to take an amc now????...I know i have been duped n when i asked for the receipt for the amount i had given in advance he spoke to that guy and just added that amount also to that billl...ridiculous...

i have senorita modle, my front doors lock system worke not properly, pl help me to know price for repaire.

Hi people,
I have worst experience with IFB service personnel who tried to cheat me for adding water filter and drum cleaning powder for 1800 Rs. I got it done for 450 Rs for Water filter and 40 Rs for drum cleaning powder.

IFB service franchises please wake up. People are not fools anymore.

Hi Ram,
I guess you are from chennai. I too faced the same issue. Now i got clear idea as per your review. Thank you a lot.

IFB has the worst service in India especially in Bangalore. The Franchisee, Shivashakthi Enterprise who is authorized to perform the service requests are just the kind of people which no customer would like to encounter with. Such a pathetic service, that over the phone itself they deliver the judgement and has the rudest of the behaviors. I have bout a 7KG direct drive washing machine that costed Rs.35, 000/- last year. It's been just 12 months and the washing machine has developed a hole with a crack at the bottom of the Tub. The service technician made a vague statement that it's becase of the Rat bite. Examining the hole which is a Triangle with a taper and crack on the tub, looks like it's basically might have happend during transportation when the machine was delivered or installed at my home. Post the installation, neither the machine was moved nor there are any Rat/mouse inside our house :-). I had bought washing machine, A cloths drier and a Convection Microwave all from IFB, thinking that it's good... But now I am repenting. The drier's saftey switch becomes active very often. The IFB does not have any answer to that nor they are trying to fix it. For the Washing machine crack they are asking me to pay Rs.7000/- to fix because they are assuming something which is not real and the franchisee guy is saying he has already spent Rs.7 Lakhs to fix the problem for other customers that's why he does not want to fix my problem...Hillarious... No idea when the Microwave will be out of service, given that both the primary machines are out of service. It's been more than 10 days since I logged the Problem request. And the IFB does not have any seriousness to fix nor they have the technical know how to fix it. I advise all the customers to refrain buying IFB products.

I am using IFB MODEL AW60-8061 ... in this model the machine will not last 2days ... what the reason frdsssss... pls try to clear this problem... i[censored] reason or solution to this pls message me in [protected] & [protected]@gamil.com... pls hurry up frdssssssss

Poor service ever seen IFB products not recommended

dear sir
don't waste your money to buy IFB products, its my own experience, bcaz i have wasted 25, 000 for buy IFB washing machine Model no Digital 5.5 Kg,

1.product is not good
2.poor customer service

i want to buy ifb 7 kg washine machine give suggestion and address to buy in trichy tamil nadu

I totally agree, the after sales service is pathetic. I believe it is not just with IFB, it is the same with whirlpool air conditioners.
All the MNC's give us a customer care no where a BPO registers a complaint and the same is forwarded to MNC chosen authorised service centre, these service centres employ third grade, poorly motivated invidiuals whose knows head or tail of what he is doing and assumes all customers are and try take advantage.

Never ever go for a AMC, its a gimic.

Door locking problem

dear sir,
I had place an order for getting stand and cover of ifb elena (5kg) model on 5 April 2009 but till to date i did not get that. so many times i have asked for it to the service provider named Vikas and he just saying that the order will fulfill by him as early as possible. so i placed complaint to ifb cust.care
my complaint no. is 310859 but it is also useless. there is need to provide proper services to customer.

ifb washing machine's water outlet hose pipe cover in the front of the machine is broke by your service executive, now the water is leaking from that outlet i tried calling the call centre from 3 days they are not responding to the compliant made the customer id no.2780677 its still in warranty but they are telling to pay for the part that is damaged by your side, there is sticker mentioning 4 years 100% warranty please do the needful soon as possible
thank you.
dilip.k [protected].

Their service is pathetic, i booked a complaint on 1st march and problem was sorted on 2nd march and i put amc also, then two weeks later, machine stopped working, on 17.03.2016 i made complaint and no one came, i made repeated phone calls to their customer care and spoke politely as i could but lost my temper today morning 30.03.2016 and lamblasted the ifb agent for their pathetic and shoddy service and threatened to sue them, technician came and sorted the issue out today itself...

So u scream and nag at them, then only they will do their jobs...

Re: Replacement of highly defective Washing Machine Model Diva (Customer ID 3222271)

Sir,

I purchased IFB washing machine Model Diva on 14th January 2012 after strong recommendations from my friends and relatives. Presently, I am highly aggrieved with the quality and reliability of the washing machine as mentioned above.

The said washing machine is not giving me any service and utility of any standard. The clothes remain dirty even after washing them twice and thrice. It gives blasting sound many a times during the washing operation. It also vibrates too much while in operation and goes away from its starting position. In many cases, it went away by about 5-6 feet from its starting position. In spite of the visit of your service engineers visiting my place on my complaints dated[protected]Complaint No. 8822148) and[protected]Complaint No. 8916204), the machine continued to give some or the other functional problem and one could not rely on its functional efficacy/consistency.

To my disgust, your service engineer who visited last time informed me that the machine has got deep scratches inside the body of the machine. He also informed me that there appeared to be some problem with the wash tub. You would kindly appreciate the amount of confidence I can now have on the washing machine.

Now for the last about one month I have been in regular touch with the service centre but of no avail. My complaint No. 8934683 dated 29th May 2012 has not even been attended till date and surprisingly, your service centre also does not even inform me whether they would be able to correct


the machine to function trouble free. This kind of a service from IFB, at least I cannot believe.

In this background I am left as a highly dissatisfied customer and have lost total confidence to rely on this piece of machine. I, therefore, request you to kindly provide me a replacement of the machine: if possible top load machine. Should you feel for me to make a payment of difference in price, if any, I shall do the needful on hearing from you.

I believe you would not shake my confidence any further of my reliance on your big name in the washing machine industry and as marketing ethics should dictate, provide me a replacement of the washing machine most expeditiously. Hoping for a positive and a prompt response.


Thanking you,

Sincerely,

MY FOLLOWING COMPLAINT HAS REMAINED UNATTENDED SINCE LAST 4 MONTHS. THE IFB MICROWAVE MODEL 20SC1 IS NOT WORKING AND THERE IS NO RESPONSE FROM YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE. I HAD MADE THE FOLLOWING COMPLAINT ON 7.5.2009 AFTER MY EARLIER CALLS REMAIN UNATTENDED. I NEED YOUR QUICK INTERVENTION.
IFB MICROWAVE OVEN MODEL-20SC1 WAS PURCHASED BY ME IN SEPTEMBER 2007 FROM BHOPAL. SUBSEQUENTLY I GOT TRANSFERED TO RAIPUR IN MAY 2008. IN SEPTEMBER 2008 I LODGED A COMPLAINT WITH YOUR CALL CENTRE AND ALSO WITH THE LOCAL IFB SERVICE CENTRE REGARDING MALFUNCTIONING OF THE OVEN. THE CALL WAS ATTENDED AFTER 0NE MONTH IN OCTOBER AND SOME MINOR REPAIR WAS MADE. THE PROBLEM WITH THE OVEN AGAIN RESURFACED IN JANUARY 2009 AND SINCE THEN I HAVE LODGED ALMOST 10 COMPLAINTS TO YOUR LOCAL SERVICE CENTRE AT RAIPUR AND ALSO TO YOUR CALL CENTRE AND THE COMPLAINT STILL REMAINS UNATTENDED. MY COMPLAINT REFERENCE IS 2136927 WHICH I GOT FROM YOUR CALL CENTRE 2 MONTHS BACK. I REGRET YOU ARE SHOWING TOTAL DISRESPECT TO A CUSTOMER CALL AND PROBABLY ARE LEAST CONCERNED ABOUT ATTENDING TO CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. TODAY AT 3.40 PM I CONTACTED YOUR CALL CENTRE AND TO MY UTTER DISMAY THE CALL WAS DELIBERATELY DISCONNECTED. PRIOR TO THAT THE SERVICE ENGINEER CLEARLY INDICATED THAT HE IS NOT IN A POSITION TO ATTEND TO THE COMPLAINT. THIS IS REALLY A SORRY STATE OF AFFAIRS AT IFB. NOW I AM PLANNING TO SEND BACK MY MACHINE BACK TO YOUR HEAD OFFICE THROUGH COURIER SO THAT YOU CAN KEEP IT IN THE ARCHIVE FOR SHOWING TO YOUR FUTURE CUSTOMERS ABOUT THE POOR QUALITY OF YOUR PRODUCTS AS WELL AS UR USELESS CUSTOMER SERVICE.

IFB Industries — Digital 6Kg malfunctioning...needs to be REPLACED not repaired

I had purchased an IFB Digital 6 Kg washing machine serial number[protected] on 10 Aug 2009.On 15 May 2010,due to the faulty working of the washing machine my son suffered second degree burns and scalding of both feet and right forearm and was admitted in hospital for 10 days.I was also injured in the left foot in the same accident. I registered complaint on 18/05/10. Subsequently engineers from authorised service centre checked the machine but could not find any fault.However, they changed a part related to thermostat settings.
Subsequently on 28 Aug 10,during the wash cycle of the machine the door automatically opened.I lodged complaint no. 5013797 with customer care deptt of IFB. An engineer visited again and informed that some electronic board had gone faulty and replaced it. However, the machine malfunctioned again and the door opened on its own which is a big risk. A complaint was lodged again (Complaint No. 5113158) for which the service agency sent another 'repaired' board to be replaced.However, I denied saying that since the machine is repeatedly malfunctioning, the same should be REPLACED. No action was taken. Today, i.e. 28 Sep 10, the machine malfunctioned again THRICE when the door opened on its own and thereafter the working has also stalled. I contacted IFB customer care who said that complaint number 5113158 is still open. I also tried to contact the service head of Delhi (Okhla) branch (tele no.[protected], Mr Sanjay (Mobile no. [protected]), Ms Pallavi (Mobile no. [protected]) but was unable to get in touch with them. I contacted Ms Monika (Mobile number [protected]) at Okhla and explained my problem to which she promised to call back but it was to no effect. All subsequent efforts to contact Ms Monika were futile as the mobile was switched off deliberately after one call got through with her.
It is evident that there is a MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER related problem with the machine which even the engineers are unable to pin-point. Also since the machine is fully automatic and has the capability to run at high temperatures up to 95 degrees Celsius (which is near boiling point of water), the fault which makes the front door open while in the wash cycle is extremely dangerous to the life and limb of my family members. I have already suffered earlier when such hot water came pouring down on my son's feet and burnt them. His scars are a VALID proof of the same.In spite of conveying the grave danger and request to change the machine, the same is falling on deaf ears and time and again I'm being coerced into accepting repairs which are not alleviating the main problem.Since the machine is under WARRANTY and has now malfunctioned SEVERAL times, I feel that the company should do the justice of replacing the same at the earliest with a new machine of the same model/make. I therefore request you to initiate necessary action in this regard.

Sincerely
JS Chhatwal

I have purchased a IFB washing machine Digital 5Kg.from M/S Vivek company on 2008 My invoice No: 3808 and have paid for an extended guarantee till the year 2011.The problem with the machine is, it is making a hell of a at the time of spinning on load.The sound is like a rocket launching and to my repeated requests to your service personal no action is taken till date.I am worried about this sound as I live in a Flat and I have become a laughing stock to my fellow flat owners and they ridicule me for having a washing machine with such a loud noise.Your service person who came for service has no knowledge about the source of the sound problem and told it is usual in IFB machines.But I a not happy about his reply and contacted the Agency who told me that they will send an expert to look into the problem.Nearly 3 months have past and no attempt has been taken from the manufacturer's side to repair the machine till date.If you are not capable of attending to your machine what is the use of charging me for an extended warranty?please take immediate step in this matter to rectify the defect or I will be forced to take further action in this regard.

I have purchased an IFB fully automatic washing machine . We have called ur service team & asked for general service & we required IFB collar remover . This is my ticket no. 3052483 . But till now there has been no response from ur side . Kindly send ur people at the earliest . Hope this would have some effect .

Me, Mrs. Subhamita Biswas (address : Dakshin para, GIP colony, Jagacha, Santragachi, Howrah -711112, W.B.) have a IFB fully automatic washing machine. I purchased this machine on 8th December, 2007 and its now under extended warranty period.

For last one and a half month, my machine is not working. I repeatedly talked to your customer care executives. And they sent the mechanic on second week of August. The mechanic said that he needed to change one of the part of my machine. He took that old part and told me he would come again on third week of August and fixed the new one. Since then nobody came, no phone calls from IFB, nothing... I again put a docket (for the second time, on 22nd August, 2009, docket no. 3403185). I called IFB Concern Department, IFB Branch office for atleast fifty times. But none of them gave me any feedback. I am so frustated. Even I emailed to the customer care dept. But they only send me a formal apology. And then again a big silence... Now I just want to sell this machine which occupy a large space in my room.

For last six years, my family is using IFB washing machine and we have three machines in total. I always get very prompt service from your division. And I am also satisfied with your service all the time. But this time, my impression is totally changed. Its really very frustating for me. You know without washing machine for one and a half month, life is became very very tough. I am a working person, have a patient in my house. I am still waiting for the feedback.
