I ordered samsung refrigerator on flipkart on 17.12.17, received the same on 29.12.17. On the demo day i. E. On 30.12.17, in front of service engineer – the fridge was unpacked and when the fridge was started, on the front temperature setting panel, 2°c was blinking. The service engineer consulted another engineer for 5~10 minutes and tried many things to set-it-right. Finally fridge started working.
The details of the refrigerator are as below:
Order id no. : od[protected]
Invoice number : faabdp[protected]
Product : samsung 415l frost free double door refrigerator
Imei/serial no : 0epm4daj800129
Model no : rt42m553es8/tl/2017
On around 15.01.18, again the fridge started same type of problem. The freezer compartment was not cooling enough and the fridge portion was not working.
Discussed the same with samsung customer care on 16.01.18 and all the steps told by the technical expert were followed, even the fridge was kept off with both the doors open for more than 24hrs. But the problem remained unresolved. On 18.01.18, samsung engineer visited my home to check and found that the fridge motor is not working and also suggested that its motor and electronic board needs to be replaced.
Also when the fridge was unboxed, there was a pressed mark on the side of the fridge which was noted by commissioning engineer also but we ignored the same in the faith on samsung.
Further observed on 20.01.18 the freezer compartment of the refrigerator was also not working.
Same was with discussed with service engineer at bharuch (Which samsung has referred to for this problem).
The problem started with the refrigerator on around 14.01.18 when i contacted samsung customer care also for technical assistance (Reference nos. – [protected] (16.01.18), [protected] (17.01.18), [protected] (18.01.18), [protected] (18.01.18), [protected] (19.01.18), [protected] (20.01.18), [protected] (21.01.18), [protected] (25.01.18).
Now in the present condition, neither fridge, nor freezer compartment of the refrigerator is working. With almost complete refrigerator (Both fridge & freezer motors and electronic board) not working within such a short duration (~ 15 days) of operation, i requested samsung to replace the complete fridge at the earliest.
Samsung agreed to replace the refrigerator on 25.01.18 with alternate model. I cross-checked the alternate model and found price of alternate model is less by rs. ~3000 than my present refrigerator as mentioned on sammsung web-site. However samsung head office person was telling that both are having same price. I said to him that i can send the snap-shots of the comparison, but he said he does not have any mail id where i can send him snap. I asked him to send me comparison mail to me, he said he will call after consulting senior. But he did not called me back on the whole day.
On 27.01.18, again a call came from head office and i said to provide me half an hour and i will confirm for alternate model. Again he did not called me back till 28.01.18.
I got a call on 29.01.18 and i told them if same model is not available, then replace with alternate model. But this time they said they any alternate model is also not available and now they can refund the invoice amount.
Meanwhile i was being contacted by vadodara sales dept persons also and i discussed whole problem with them.
I said to vadodara sales dept that i purchased during offer at a price of rs. 42499 and its actual mrp as per samsung web-site is rs. 59500. So i am ready either to replace the refrigerator or refund me mrp mentioned on samsung web-site i. E. Rs. 59500. This is because i am suffering for my refrigerator not working for last 15 days now and if i purchase new refrigerator, it will cost more.
Now samsung is not agreeing in both the cases and insisting me to agree for refund of rs. 42499. I said to them why i should bear loss even when i am suffering with this refrigerator, let samsung to bear the loss as every time there is lack of response/coordination from samsung which had cost non-availability of refrigerator stock.
Two things i want to highlight which are very critical:
1. Bharuch samsung service centre people insisted me to provide cancelled cheque, bank pass-book copy and a letter mentioning to get replacement/refund to put my request to replacement of refrigerator. But they were not able to provide me any company's authorized document/letter where it was mentioned to get all these details from the customer. However, i provide all these details as i did not have any other option to get replacement. I clearly told to them that i don't want refund, only replacement is required.
2. For my problem resolution, there were three depts. Contacting me – phone customer care, email through samsung site and bharuch service centre. But there is complete lack of co-ordination among three dept. All started to contact me separately and no one knows what other dept talked to me. So every i had to coordinate at all three places.
With too many loopholes in the replacement procedure from the samsung, i am the sufferer. Please help to resolve the matter.
