Respected Sir,

I am a loyal customer of LG products for the past 10 years. I purchased multiple products i.e. TV, Refrigerator and AC’s during this period. I am writing this note to express my frustrations and disappointment with a recent experience I had with your service team. 4 years back on 12/Oct/2012, I bought a LED 42 inch TV [Model – 42LS5700, SNO - 207PLTV105961]. I made this purchase at Chennai Trade Center, Chennai. [Not able to trace the invoice at present].

During early December, 2016 I started getting problem with my TV set. I was losing the TV picture after 30 to 60 minutes. The sound is alright but the screen is pitch black. I raised a service request [RNP[protected]] on 6/Dec/2016. Your Service engineer came saw the TV and said everything is fine and closed the SR. I again raised another SR [RNP[protected]] on 9/Dec/2016. Service engineer came again informed LED bulb is the problem and left. I informed I am willing to pay for the repair. From then onwards I made multiple calls and SMS to the Team Lead (XXX ******1228] and Regional Area Service Manager [XXXX ****** 061] to get the help. Finally on 7/Jan/2017, I was informed by XXXX that the part is not available for this model and can’t be repaired. I was advised to send this email for any further help.

I am greatly disappointed with the experience I had this time and want to bring these 2 concerns to your notice and seek your help to make my “Life Good” again. Please contact me at the address provided below or on my mobile [protected].

1. Your service team is saying TV can’t be repaired as the spare parts are not available. I am really surprised to hear this. Want to know what shall I do with my 4 years old TV.

2. I had to make multiple follow up calls to your team to get the attention. It took nearly 30 days to provide a solution. I personally am frustrated by the bad response of your service team including your managerial staff. Leave it to your judgment to take corrective action.

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I am looking forward to your reply and a resolution to my problem.

Sincerely,
BALAKRISHNA REDDY

After followup for 2 months I got a quotation from LG for my TV. For LED bulb issue they provide a quote to replace the whole panel for Rs 28, 000 (almost the cost of a new TV). Here is the email I wrote back asking for clarification. Till now no one responded back.

Hi,

Thanks for responding at least after so much of follow-up with you. First of all my complaint is not raised on 7/2/2017. My first service request [RNP[protected]] was raised on 6/Dec/2016 and again another one SR [RNP[protected]] raised on 9/Dec/2016.

Can you please help me understand this cost better? You provided a quote for Rs 28, 000 for repairing a TV which I brought 4 years back for Rs 40, 000 (Approximate cost. Don't remember the actual cost). The problem that I am facing is that the TV picture is lost after 30 to 60 minutes. However the sound is alright but the screen is pitch black.

Do we need to replace the entire panel for such high cost or is there a way to repair this for lesser cost? I want your technical expertise to provide a cheaper alternative. I see no reason to repair my old TV for Rs 28, 000 when I have the option of buying new one with a slightly higher amount.

Please clarify and provide an alternate solution.

Waiting your early response.

Thanks

Still no response to my email. In spite of continuous follow-up, through email and over the telephone, LG has failed to provide satisfactory service. Initially they declined to repair it even though under warranty and after 2 months sent a quote for Rs 28, 000 for replacing a faulty LED bulb. This is causing quite a stress and discomfort. Hence stopping here and going to buy a new TV. LG lost a customer for life.

DONT BELIEVE LG... IT IS CHEAPER USE AND THROW PRODUCT. We too are facing in 3 Months old LED TV. Panel got failed within 3 months from the date of purchase. LG is speaking terms and conditions instead of providing replacement.
