IFB Industries Complaints & Reviews

I have amc and i have raised complaint about ifb washing machine.

I call customer care and raised complaint and they told with in 24 hours it i will resolved. Its been more then 25 days still issue is not resolved.
I called more then 15 times to customer care and asked, they provide some agent number chandru [bangalore 560091] and sathish [ifb in charge for bangalore or karnataka]. Called so many times they told with in one day your problem will resolved. After few days they stopped receiving my calls.

Again i called customer care and asked they told your request has been canceled, again raised new request still no response

Please before taking amc think twice
Very very bad experience

Dear sir,

I have been an ifb customer for the last 25years and the present washing machine senorita is my 4th machine.
Please refer to my earlier complaints in the same platform in the last one year. I am facing the same problem often for about a year and a half now. Your service engineers have been attending to our complaint every time but this problem continues to recur after few days of their visit. The damage that i have incurred so far is more than the cost of the washing machine. During the course of our earlier communications, i have sent few photographs as a sample of damages occurred. It is a surprise that a company like ifb has been reluctant in replying to the customer. We have not so far received a single convincing reply from your end. It is in july, the last complaint was attended and the machine was behaving well until yesterday. Today i have raised a complaint and received a ticket no[protected] dated 23.10.2018. Further met in person mr. Arun of your chennai office asking to solve the issue by explaining him the complete history.
At least this time i earnestly hope that you will seriously deal with the matter and solve the issue. I would appreciate an immediate convincing reply.

Hi,
I would like to draw your kind attention to the following matters. By the virtue of my ifb neptune vx dishwasher, for the first time i get the chance to raise my voice about the worst post product service of such a brand. My dishwasher is non functioning from 30th august 2018, i had raised a complain on that very day and also asked the customer executive to treat this as urgent so that i would get the service by 2 days. I personally called up the service center (One and only the smart appliances) but could not reach them as usual, they deliberately never picked up calls and then called up the technician mr deepak saha, fortunately i have his number who is very supportive but he was out of station that time.

I called up customer care for uncountable number of times and the service center too. Finally on 15th of september 2018, the technician mr mrinmoy came to investigate the problem who is also a very good person and identified the parts which had damaged and needs to be replaced.
On 13th october 2018, i spoke to the escalation team too for several times but nothing happened. For the same problem i had to raise multiple complains as the previous complain deliberately cancelled by the service center every time and customer executive could not reopen the unresolved complain. So i had to inform them and they opened a new complain. My dishwasher is under amc. Is that normal resolution time for ifb product? I had several other band products but never faced this kind of problem ever yet.

I got a call from service center the one and only smart appliances, on 26th september and the lady who called me asked me not to escalate this issue any more as they are going to resolve this issue very soon, then when i asked her about the date then she was behaving like as i am working and unable to take the service on weekdays that's why they are unable to resolve the problem. After asking her about the date she confirmed me that would definitely resolve the issue by 6th of october, but again the same thing happened on 4th of october the complaint got cancelled with some invalid reason and on 5th of october i got a call from the same service center, this time mr biswajit (Unprofessional and hypocrite) called me and informed me that the spare parts are unavailable with ifb, so won't do anything.

After 1.5 months i got to know that the spare parts were unavailable with the ifb. Why ifb is selling products without manufacturing the spare parts?
I would have thrown this product away if the price of the product is low. The programming logic is also not standard. If it faced any error during the program cycle, the same program cycle had to run from the beginning there is no memory to store the state of the last program where it was stopped.

I have raised complaint in ifb customer care (Ticket # [protected]) on 6th october and the service engineer attended and checked entire machine on the same day. Se confirmed that the problem with power switch and he confirmed that it will replaced within 2 days. But the issue not resolved and the ticket has been closed as "issue resolved" by 10th october. I called the se and told the same, he replied, "pls don't re-open the ticket, the request was placed to get the power switch and will be fixed within 2 days. I accepted and wait.. Wait.. No response. I called se and service centre many times but no luck. After long time se came by 18th october and replaced the switch and checked. Now he confirmed that there is a problem with sensor valve (But this was not checked on the very first day). Again eh confirmed that he will come by next day and fix the issue. Till now no one attend the machine.
This is not the first time that i faced this kind of worst service from the ifb service centre. Everytime, when i called for free service, no proper response from the service centre.in between this issue, i have reopened the ticket on 16th october and there is no call for that too.

Received product, demo not attended as per sms received. And service engineer told he can't come as they are occupied.

Called customer care and they even bothered about the customer satisfaction level and not full filling the our needs and answer to us is not good.

If demo is happened today we will be have happy on ifb products.

Waiting...

I had purchases a ifb microwave 23l conv 23bc4 from m/s pittappillil agencies, vellayambalam, trivandrum on 10/10/2018. The tech who had visited on 12/10/18 for commissioning the same was unable to do is due to power failure again he visited on 15/10/18 and reported that the product was defective. Accordingly a complaint was lodged with ifb for replacement on 15/10/18 and was assured by ifb customer care that the same will be replaced within 36 hours.

Today, the 20th oct, 2018 - still the product has not been replaced and there is no response either from the manufacturer nor from the agency. I and repeatedly trying to contact the deler and the manufacturer from 10 am till 2pm nerither of them responded nor giving any reply as to when the product is going to be replaced.

The dealers staff is passing the buck and not giving a proper reply, all these staff from the agency and the manufacturer gives a standard reply saying that they will call back in 1/2 an hour or 1 houdealer (M/s pittappillil agencies, vellayambalam, trivandrum and the manufacturer (Ifb) - but they never care to give a call back and update the present status.

I kindly request for a stringent action on both, the dealer and the manufacturer and issue directions for immediate replacement of the product

I had purchased an ifb microwave oven 23l conv 23bc4 on 10 oct 2018 from m/s pittappillil agencies, vellayambalam, trivandrum, the tech who had visited for commissioning the same had reported that the product was defective. Accordingly a complaint was made to ifb for replacement, who had told that the same will be replaced within 36 hours, where as no response even after nine (9) days. I had approached the dealer who also told me that they also have made a complaint. So far, so bad, no action has been taken for replacement. Today, the 20th oct 2018 when i called the dealer, he assured me to call back - even after 2 hours, no response, when i called again, there is no response from the dealer. I request a stringent action and immediate replacement of the product.

Machine was purchased from local dealer on 11.06.2018.in gentle programme sometimes the error indication sign comes after that the machine does not work. Secondly the main problem is regarding the detergent dispenser. The detergent remains collected in the dispenser due to which the clothes do not get the complete detergent for washing. This will result in clothes not getting cleaned properly. Please send your views and remedy for this problem.

I have placed an order of ifb elite wx washing machine purchased on 11oct18 at “ifb point shop no. 4, 1st floor the plaza mall".

They have taken advance and confirm delivery by saturday 13th oct, since the they are not responding properly nor delivering the machine.
It takes me multiple attempts to reach out the dealer representative subhashish, who claims himself to be the top boss of center. Yet they are not confirming on delivery dates.
Even customer care refuses to take complaint.

I am ifb user from past 10 years and wish to again buy ifb but the king of problem i am going through pathetic and completly discouraging.

In future i wish to avoid ifb points and products that ignore customer like this.

Refer my complaint under ticket number [protected] dated 5th Sep 2018 about problem with Neptune Dishwasher covered under AMC and your representative at Chennai one Mr. Daniel Jo Visited on 7th September who informed that he will procure spares and rectify the defect within 10 days. On 11th september I have retained the complaint when asked for closure. Subsequently I contacted IFB through Toll - Free number on 26th, 28th of September and 6th and 11th of October. On 28th September IFB informed through SMS that representative will attend within a day. Every time when call IFB through Toll - Free number they informed that this time they meet me through chennai office before 5pm. Today 16th October no - one approached for rectification of the dishwasher which is under AMC. This is the state of affair of IFB. An early action is solicited.

I had raised complaint against ticket number [protected] for flood affected washing machine on 03.09.2018
Complaint was referred to chalakudy service centre. Since then i am calling service centre daily to get my washing machine serviced.
After repeated calls to service centre, technician attended machine after 3 weeks.
Now the machine again not starting and raised complaint again on 08.10.2018.

When call...

1. Above mentioned complaints were lodged on 08 sep 2018 and subsequent dates. Your service technician had visited and inspected the refrigerator. He had demanded a part of refrigerator which arrived on 26 sep but could not match. Almost 45 days have passed but refrigerator is not yet rectified.

2. I have purchased above item after hearing lot of good words about ifg home appliances.

3. Could you please speed up rectification of the appliance at an early date.

When i called ifb serivce call centre to get washing machine repair. Call operator informed that visiting charges are rs 480 where as person going to attend called thrice and saying that you have to pay rs. 590. What is company policy. Why rates are not disclosed on site that consumers get satisfaction. Why this service charge is too high for just deploma holding attending machine. If he attend 10 machine perday means rs. 5900 per day x 31 day =rs182900?? Salary is more than class one officer of india??

Hi,

I have relocated from banglore to chennai.
On 29/09/18.
My washing has to be reinstalled. But no technician has been turning up. I have paid for this service rs 599. I have called customer care no of times for that last one week, they are giving technician no who is in bangalore instead of chennai technician no, after i ask again they are giving some no but no one is picking up. It would be really helpful if someone address this.

My registered mobile no with ifb [protected]

It's been since nine months we are facing issue of the top load washing machine we had purchased and still the issue is not resolved after having amc also very bad service.
There is a complete malfunction in washing program as it suddenly changes the programme to other options such as if we select normal wash it gets restarted to tub clean wash and also no timer is displayed.
Thinking ifb brand we purchased the wading machine, but this very worst service by ifb and totally dissatisfied by the ifb products.
Also the service engineer is not completely trained to attend the issue and rectify the issue.
Idontknow what sort of manufacturing is going on by the company with such bad quality product and service.
The company is least bothered about the after sales and service issue.
I strongly recommend if any body planning the buy the ifb brand, not to buy at any cost since you will waste your money on investing to such worst brand.

Yestrday i lodgded complaint to ifb customercare service regading replacement of faulty part of our ifb washing machine senorita aqua sx 6.5 kg 1000rpm, which is under warrenty for 4 yeasrs. Ticket no [protected] has been generated. The representative of customercare informed us that today on 13.10.18 will be resolved by our engineer.
Today i called so many times (-05- times) customer care of ifb for engineer since morning. Every times i got reply that within one hours our engineer will visit your address. But no one from ifb visited.
This type of poor service is given by if b after purchase of ifb product. Now i will think so many times before purchasing product and never recommend our friend and relative to purchase ifb product.
If our complaint is not resolved by 14.10.18, i will lodge complaint against ifb in consumer forum.

I have purchased two split AC 1 ton each about 2 months back and only started using about a week back.One of them is giving lot of headache from beginning .. First there was no cooling and now water leakage...Service response is very poor and I am cursing self for purchasing Ifb product. PL resolve this at the earliest possible.

Hi i have bought a 6kg front load washing machine before 4months. Last time a person came for installation has asked me to change the water pipe saying “the one which they promote has a cleaning adapter, machine drum will not have any kind of i have accepted and asked to instal. He has charged me 750rs.
This time i have got a call from ifb for the first service and the guy who came for the installation has told me the earlier guy who has given the product was worst, he was claiming the earlier person didn’t installed the product well.
This time again he has given me a new product and made me to waste another 350rs.

“service to sales” i have heard many times but “sales from free service” this i am learning from ifb now.

Sathish
