We possess an IFB Digital Washing Machine. It is the top of the line machine and I spent good money to purchase it. it wasn't even one year old when the hot wash stopped working. I kept running it on a shorter program hoping it might start working on its own. Finally, when it didn't get alright we lodged a complaint and a technician came over to see the machine. He told us the "heater board" would need to be changed and this would cost me app. Rs 5000/- we told him we would pay whatever it costs as long as he got us the proper bill from the company. He said he could not assure that and for that we should speak with the company franchisee for Gurgaon, Mr. Bhatnagar whose shop is located at DLF Qutab Plaza, DLF City Phase 1.
We called him up and his reply was that there is no way the company bill would be shown to us, we would receive only the invoice from his service centre. When we reiterated that we should not be overcharged he said the change of the heater board would cost app. Rs 2500/-. We told him to go ahead and get it changed, thereon he said we should pay him the money in advance only then would he get our complaint attended to. Even though we agreed no one came up to service our complaint.
After being frustrated for more than a week with a faulty machine we decided to go and meet Mr. Bhatnagar at his shop only to be shocked by the response from him. The moment we entered he started shouting at us, saying "your complaint will be attended to as and when we have the time and also make sure you give me the money in advance before I order the part". This really surprised me since we also own another IFB clothes washing machine and dish washer and whenever we've had problems with these they have been repaired without any difficulty and without paying any advance. We also own many other refrigerators and freezers of various companies which have been repaired without any difficulty. I would really appreciate if my machine could be fixed at the earliest possible. Was this information helpful? |
