Whirlpool — Brand New Washing Machine is Defective

Hi,

We bought a Whirlpool washing machine (6.5 Kg fully automatic with built-in water heater) on Sunday, Jun 12, 2011 from Hari Om Electronics, Shakti Nagar (Close to clock tower). The whirlpool installation engineer arrived on Tuesday, Jun 14, 2011.

He did installation and full check-up and told us it is perfectly OK and left. Within 30 min, after the wash cycle finished and Rinse started, we noticed its leaking from bottom and also making crazy sounds during rinse (we have been used to BPL fully automatic machine till 2 days back, which was an amazing silent product) and finally is was shaking so much that some of its wiring just came out and we would see the wire dongle above the rotating drum (its top is transparent).

I could not believe that...
1) So called world's number 1, in washing machines, Whirlpool is making extremely low quality products. How come the machine was shipped out with so much of bad quality.
2) We called dealer Hari Om Electronics and he told us, we have sold the product now its Whirlpool Engineer, who will fix this problem.
3) I called Whirlpool engineer, and told him the problem, he told sometimes some part break during the transportation!!!! What the hell...? What did he do when he arrived to check & install?

Can anyone please help me with the process to file Police complaint leading to Consumer Forum.

I also urge to other readers to stay away from Whirlpool and also Hari Om Electronics, Shakti Nagar. When Whirlpool's top end products are failing like this, think about their middle range products!!!

regards,
Kunal Kapur

Whirlpool — Defective Compressor

I had purchased Whirplool fridge model no. i32 Elite model last year.Within less than a year, fridge has stopped working which poses a big quetsion mark on WHIRLPOOL announcing itself as WORLD'S NO. 1.To add to the problem, Whirlpool customer care Delhi and Noida Centre is not attempting to fix the problem and have been making false committments.Since last 3 days I am being told that it will be done today but nothing has been done yet.SHAME ON WHIRLPOOL!!!WHIRLPOOL customer service is the worst I have ever receieved.WHIRLPOOL should understand that customer care service is not only about telling customers that it will be done but to get the problem fixed as soon as possible with customer's satisfaction.Take a lesson from LG and SAMSUNG'S Customer service and WAKE UP NOW!!!

I am having an exactly similar experience and in my case there is a valid warranty for another year. What the technician did was put a motor in my machine after about 1.5 months and after that the machine has totally stopped working. Now they want to replace it with a lower model.
The service centre people are saying different things at different times and something is very wrong at their end.

I had the same problem for long time and have come out wiser.
You all write to the CEO arvind.[protected]@whirlpool.com.
This model is obsolete and they have to replace it
with a new machine of your choice. You pay 30% of the
cost after 2 yrs warranty. It is their company rule.

Whirlpool Double Door refrigerator — inefficient customer care

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is sayoni roy and we would like to complain regarding our whirlpool double door refrigerator.

we had purchased the refrigerator in novemver 2006. The first time it started giving us trouble was in july 2008. it had taken us 4 to 5 months to finally get the problem rectified after complaining to the consumer forum.

this time in june 2010 the refrigerator again started showing cooling and water leakage(inside) problems. I had complained at their customer care number[protected] on 23rd june 2010. i had informed them to take action immediately as i have a 2 and a half year old daughter at home and to live without a refrigerator in this hot and humid climate is impossible.

the complain is in the name sumantra roy ( numbers [protected] and [protected]).

the engineer who was supposed to visit in 24 hours came on 3rd july 2010. so 10 days i lost there. the engineer visited , saw and went back without telling us what the problem was or what will be the next action and without rectifying the refrigerator. we kept on waiting for his 2nd visit to rectify the same. days passed and then months. even after repeated calls to the engineer nothing happened.

finally on 24th august i again called the customer care and they were asking me to recomplain since it was over a month since i 1st complained!! i was shocked!! the 1st complain was not solved so why will i recomplain and shut down the 1st case??
after arguing with the customer care person...then suddenly he said that it is mentioned in their details that they are waiting for our confirmation as the door needs to be changed and the cost will come upto rupees 4500 plus we have to give the engineer a revisit charge of rupees 500. i told him that we were not informed about the door or anything so how can they wait for our approval?

i requested him to send the engineer again and to tell us what the problem was. it was agreed but till date no body has come to revisit! today is 2nd september. i called them up the following day and every time i was reassured that someone will visit "by today". this by today never comes for whirlpool.

we are facing so much of trouble to live without a refrigerator for 2 and a half months.

i keep on calling the customer care everyday and some time i get to hear strange things like i have complained regarding the baffle tray crack...which i have never! the problem is with the cooling and water leakage and i donot know how the baffle tray comes in focus. there is no crack in the baffle tray and even if there was one, why should water collect in the same in a frost free refrigerator???

we customers are not fools....!!!

the last day that i called them(31.8.10), they told me that the door was out of stock so they are not revisiting!!! whose mistake is that???? ours????
firstly they were supposed to revisit us to discuss with us the problem because the money that they are mentioning(rs.5000) is not a small amount. then we would say yes or no to go ahead....without doing that they are telling us that the engineer is not visiting because the door is not in stock???

i asked them to give us a standby refrigerator till the time this one is rectied. LG offers this service.
the whirlpool customer care person(gaurav) rudely said that such services are not provided by whirlpool...then what should we do now?

i am wasting my entire morning everyday to call them up and to listen to the same promise which they never fulfil.

i have a 2 and a half year old kid at home.
please help.

thanks and best regards,

Whirlpool Double Door refrigerator — SUPPLIED SUBSTANDARD FRIDGE

This double door Whirl Pool Fridge was purchased on 15th Oct 2009.Since then I must have complained at least 20 times including mails to their help desk,asking them to replace the fridge.The company is simply in the habit of sending mechanics and half heartedly fix the problem temporarily.The problem once again crops up and I have to complain once again to the company.

The following problems started right from the date of complaint. :
1)Water leakage
2)Gas leakage.
3)Handle coming out
4)Milk and vegetables getting spoiled inside the fridge.

These are only few compalints.I have time and again requested them to
repalce my fridge at the earliest .The company is avoiding to replace.The warranty is expiring on 15th OCT 2010.
Please let the message pass on to the CEO of the company as others are not interested in solving my problem.

I want my warranty renewed till I get a repalcement

Whirlpool — AC not repair in one month time

AC not repair for almost one moth , its under AMC , Bad customer service , its same on whirlpool , i am not going to buy any products

Whirlpool India — AC NOT REPAIRED

I have been using Whirlpool products since long.

Post sale service of whirlpool was one of best 5 years back.

But Now, It has gone to a very pathetic levels.

I purchased Whirlpool A/c 1.5 T in the month of April 2010.

Due to some cooling problem, I have registered a complaint with Whirlpool about my Air conditioner on 20th june 2010. ( GB[protected] ).

The engineer came and did some repair work, which was not full proof.

Again the AC gave same problem on 7th August,

We registered the complaint with whirlpool ( GB [protected] )

Again the engineer came and checked the A/C, did some repair work, But the same evening burning smell started coming from the AC.

Then the service engineer came to the conclusion that the a/c motor needs to be replaced.

After repeated reminders to customer care ( who does not give any complaint numbers for reminder calls and do not accept any complains about the service engineers )

One day the service engineers again came and gave us good news that he has got wrong Motor which does not fit to our A/C.

on 11th August we have again registered the complaint ( GB[protected] ) for the same problem which was unresolved since 7th August.

on 12th August , to our surprise, we get SMS from Whirlpool saying your complaint has been closed.

Again we made call to customer care, registered the Same complaint again, for which got the number of service engineer Rahul [protected], whose phone is always switched off.

Now, on 14th August 2010, I am still waiting for Whirlpool service engineer to repair my A/C.

I would like to request whirlpool that, i have made a big mistake buying your product, I will repeat that mistake again in my life time.

But at least inform me, whether you intend to repair my A/c or not. If not, please feel free to say so. Because, If i can buy the A/c, I can also get it repaired from outside.

But there is no Point having nonworking A/c in house, which we use only for 5 months in a year.

Highly unsatisfied customer of whirlpool.

Whirlpool Washing Machine — Non functioning of Washing Machine since last 5 months

Dear Sir/Madam,
I registered a complaint regarding non-functioning of my washing machine on June 13, 2011. My complaint number is KL[protected]. An engineer named Mr. Sandip Sadhukan visited after 5 days. Second complaint was lodged on July 11, 2011, for TSP set replacement. I had a talk with Mr. Gautam Mukherji, Team Leader, on September 22, 2011, who promised to deliver the machine back on September 24, 2011. Finally, after repeated reminders, I had a talk with Mr. Divya Kaushik, Supervisior on October 10, 2011. However, till date (October 17, 2011) I have not got my washing machine.
Moreover, this is not for the first time that Whirlpool has harassed me like this. A few months ago also I have faced similar kind of harassment. I really don’t understand being an MNC, how can Whirlpool fail to live up to its reputation.

Regards,
Ruchi Gupta

I have Whirlphool fully automatic washing machine, I have lodged complaint to the sevice call centre on 11.08.2010..

Complaint No.BS [protected]; I keep on reminding the call centre every alternate day, nobody has turned up to solve the problem.I am residing at Jharsuguda, one of the District towns of Odisha..if they are unable to provide services in a district town..you can not expect anything from them if your place of residence is countryside/interior location.

Can anybody help me? what should be my next course of action?

Dear Sir/Madam,
I got the serviced micro-wave oven finally from the servicing agency at Trivandrum. Thank you very much. I would suggest let all the authorized service dealer shou8ld give you at least a bi-monthly report on the number of serviced Whirlpool appliances and indicate in each case the customer’s phone numbers. You could check occasionally with the customers on their satisfaction. This would go a long way to gain confidence in our products and support received for maintaining them.
Yours sincerely,
M.Sundaresan

I had given a micro-oven Magicook for servicing to the Whirlpool authorized agencies at Trivandrum namely HI-Tech Solutions on[protected] and till now there has been no favourable response from them till now. Iam getting very inconsistent replies which are contradictiory and is better discussed personally through phone. On the whole while we consider the Whirlpool aappliances are elegant and good looking; the service provided is extremely frustrating. I would like your top officials to look into this matter.

I purchased a microwave oven in June 2013. It stopped working in end of July 2013. I registered a complaint on whirlpool customer care in August starting. Till now there is no strict action has been taken by the company. Whenever i call them they reply that the item is out of stock. I must say now that whirlpool is a worst company to buy products. Please do not buy whirlpool products. The East Delhi service area manager is Ravish Khanna. Really a bad manager. My complaint is still pending.
