IFB Industries — Bad ethics in Washing Machine Repair

Address:FB Industries Limited Plot No Ind-5, Sector–1, East Kolkata Township, Kolkata 700107, West Bengal, India

1. A washing machine was repaired vide ticket no- [protected] by M/s Induja Home Solution Pvt Ltd (Authorized Franchisee)
2. I was told that the the Washer motor was bad and was replaced.
3. I paid Rs Rs 4813.00 by chq no ppppppp, xxxxx bank
4. Later, next day, while looking at the removed motor, I noticed that the the Carbon Brush was exhausted, and hence the motor did not get supply to run.
5. As you know the carbon brush is a consumable for every motor which gets exhausted from time to time and needs replacement.
6. A carbon brush might cost less that Rs 100.00 or may be a little more or less.
7. Instead of replacing the brush, The motor was changed.
8. I feel cheated and taken for granted by this violation of my right as a consumer.
IFB needs to explain this unscrupulous activity and take necessary remedial action compensate me for loss

IFB has admitted that even when a consumable small component like Carbon Brush ( worth Rs 50 to Rs 200) goes bad, IFB does not provide it. As per IFB's policy, whole motor costing about Rs 3500.00 will be changed.
So please make your purchase decisions accordingly.

Thanks IFB.
