Dear Sirs/Madam,
Your technician visited, parts replaced, but its of no use, the fridge is still not working.
Now Since yesterday, we can hear sounds, as if little crackers are bursting.
Yesterday the technician had called, to check, we have informed him that the Fridge is not working.
Today we tried contacting him to inform that there is some sound/noise coming from the Fridge, but there was not response from him.

Dear Madam,

I think, left with only one option take it further with other course of action, or get the fridge, return it to Reliance digital from where we had purchased it.
We will have to bear the cost of transportation to deliver it back to you.

Dear Sir,
We have received call yesterday evening saying that parts are not available, hence it is delayed. I do not know what parts, technician has not visited, he does not know exactly what part has stopped working.
Reliance and Whirlphool both are harassing us. 6th day, no call from the technician for the visit. Does it takes 5/6 days to make the parts available.
See below how they are dragging the issue. This is because, we are continuously following for the repairs. Because when the customer follow up, companies (employees) don’t like it. Similar instance, we had faced earlier also.
Date Timeline
01.08.2024 : Our service team will align technician for your location at the earliest with prior appointment within 72 hrs.
03.08.2024 We request you to allow us 24 hours timeline.

My mother is a cancer patient, and we need to store chemotherapy injections, that got spoiled because we could not store it – we have lost around 72000/- towards the medicine.(not usable)

It is high time now, I am left with no option to approach Customer Grievance cell.

Dear Vasudha,
I am very much available on this below mobile No.
The reply given by you is ridiculous, you still want that we should wait for another 24 hours. I have lodged complaint on 1st August 2024, your 72 hours and 24 hours are not getting over.
If you are not able to provide any service to us, please inform you, we will find out our own source to take up the matter directly with Whirlphool.
We will not contact you and waste our time.
If the machine is not repaired by today evening, we will definitely contact the higher authorities of Whirlphool, and even take up the matter with Customer Grievance cell – then let it take its own time in solving.

Dear Sir,
Inpsite of request and reminders, today being the third day of my complaint, your technician has not turned up.
I may get a reply saying tomorrow is Sunday, and all the employees are on leave.
Such a Pathetic service from Reliance Digital - even after paying extra money for the service.
Request Whirlphool to please look into the matter – when the customer has paid a huge amount for the purchase of appliance and it is of no use. Please refer the trail mails – you may get to know since when I have been facing issues in the Refrigerator.
Please help us in getting the replacement of the machine, I am fed up lodging complaint and pleading for service.
Would never recommend anyone to buy Whirlphool appliance and not to buy anything from Reliance digital.

Dear Sir,
We have put second complaint to Reliance Digital i.e. on 20th July, 2023, Technical Person came to check on 21st July, 2023 said that Fan is not working and this has to be replaced, till date he has not turned up.
When we called him up, he said the Fan is not available, once it is available will come and replace. Is this the service execpted from such a reputed company like Whirlphool.
Fridge is a necessity, and if it does not work, all the kitchen and household work is hampered, and that too when you are a working women.
Inspite of buying such a costly item – costing more than 60K and not even a year for the purchase, we are facing such issue.
I do not know such a reputed company like whirlphool, when the customer is writing mail, you do not have the courtesy even to reply to us.
The Fridge has to be replaced – if it is giving problem within a year.
Or we will have to find out other source of complaint.

Dear Sir,
We had purchased WHIRLPOOL FF 500L IFINVCNPLTN from Reliance Digital – on 14th October 2022.
On Thursday, 15th June, 23 the Fridge suddenly stopped working – no cooling, but the Freezer was working and on Friday 16th June, 23 morning, we could hear a hooting sound from the Freezer.
Meanwhile, we had already lodged a complaint with Reliance Digital, and the technician visited in the Afternoon on Friday 16th June, 23, checked and said that the fan is not working it has to be replaced. The Sound has stopped now.
We would like to just bring to your notice that it is not even a year, we have purchased the Refrigerator, it has started giving problem. Once the part is replaced, its like an old machine.
We have been using Whirlphool products since long, we have a whirlphool washing machine, which never gave us any problem since last 6 years.
Since we had trust on Whirlphool products, we went for such a higher end Refrigerator.
I humbly request you to please replacement Refrigerator instead of repairing it.
Hoping to get a favourable reply.
