I bought Siemens Washing Machine, WM14S790GC, on Dec. 9, 2011 from
Siemen’s Preferred Dealer, D J Appliances, Mumbai 400054 for Rs 56, 000: a
price much higher than comparable machines in market. On the hope that
Siemens will be superior to others. Alas, my hopes were entirely belied.
Within just 2 1/2 years of buying(and just outside of warranty period
of 2 years), the machine has conked off, showing error code F 57. A
technician came home
and made a cursory examination to say that the Motor Module needs to be
replaced at a cost of Rs 9940/- plus visit charges of Rs 800/-. After 10 days and several mails/phone calls to Siemens Customer Service
about the unconscionably high charges and early repair requirement,
their technician came and replaced the part. He gave me a princely
discount of 25% on the part, but still the damages came to well over Rs
8000/-. Don’t go on the assumption that a pricey
machine from an MNC is better suited to you. They are probably a lot
worse than a much more reasonably priced Indian or for that matter a
Korean appliance.
