Whirlpool India Complaints & Reviews

Purchased Invoice dt. 20/10/2011, 16:43 for WPLDC180L GEN [protected]K for the Refrigerator mentioned above from the eay day, LBS marg, Bhandup(W), Mum:-400078 megamart..
The concerned official to show demo. reached as on dated 22/10/2011 from the company Supreme services on behalf of Whirlpool of India ltd.
I am confused, that already sticker was pasted over the Freeze stating that . No stabilizer is required.
I have purchased the stabilizer of Whirlpool of India Ltd. after being advised by the concerned official.
There is confusion in my mind, If stabilizer not required sticker is pasted, then why such reputed Company"s representative promotes the addl. accessory in form of Stabilizer with Rs. 1650/- as an addl. cost.
Please look into the matter & if possible refund my amt. paid in cash for Rs. 1650/- vide Bill No. 5884 dt. 22/10/2011.

Dear ______,


I am writing this mail as I am totally fed up of whirlpool branch service office at bangalore (near lalbagh).
My whirlpool washing machine had some problem in August 2011. Then after calling several times to bangalore office and engineers, finally after almost 10 days or so, it was repaired. Soon after the repair, again it stopped functioining within a week and again I lodged complaint and then the horror of calling whirlpool office in bangalore and the engineers. It took another 10-15 days to get it solved after continuous calling, even being a valued customer.
But after a week again probelm occured, this time I was assured that my washing machine will be replaced vide sms dated 4.10.11 from TD-098704. based on this complaint no., I gave my original invoice bill and whirlpool office bangalore told me that within 3-4 days washing machine will be replaced.

Till now, my washing machine has not been replaced. since then I have been calling whirlpool office almost everyday and have spent my money calling, precious time. Finally they said that a sr. engineer will come and check the problem.engineer did come but after that no follow up, again i have called numerous times, but i m getting fooled by whirlpool people everytime, either they say that engineer will call me, when i call engineer he say that he will come today, then he will not turn up, when i call next day he says by afternoon he iss coming. and afternoon when i call, he does not pick up the phone. when i call office, they say that they will get bacak to me,but nobody gets back to me. Today since morning i have been calling but to my utter frustration, there is no respite.
Now its been alomst a month and this is too much. I am mentally stressed and besides i m not well also nd on top of this the unprofessional attitude of whirlpool staff.

Sometimes i think it is worse than the govt. service...i m totally fed up. Today I called hyderabad office and asked the customer executive who picked up the call to connect me to supervisor but it was disconnected. After that i called whirlpool bangalore offfice and engoneer but no response.

I have wasted almost every weekend since a month now trying to rectify this problem, but no cooperation from whirlpool staff, which i think is totally unprofessional.

I m writing this mail in the hope that this will reach to higher authorities and some strong action will be taken. I don't know how many customers like me are suffereing because of the unprofessional attitude of whirpool staff at bangalore. I suggest you do a random survey thru different means to find out the customer satisfaction from bangalore whirlpool branch service office.

I specially want to mention few names, with I have been intercating during 3 months now and I recommend that strong action be taken against these persons in particular:
Mr. Rajesh (Bangalore whirlpool service office incharge)...I have lost trust and hope after repeated assurance from him, which has never happened.
Venkatraju - engineer at Bangalore whirlpool service office. He confirms that he is coming to do the repir but then never turns up and then doesn't pick up the phone. Its really frustrating....
A lady who picks up the phone, tells me that sometimes rajesh is gone for lunch, sometimes he is busy in a meeting and sometimes, she disconnects the phone abruptly. she tells me that she will ask engineer to call me back or get back to me, but i have spoken to her amlost 50 times and she has never got back to me, eveytime it is me (the so called valued customer) who has to call. This is how whirlpool treats its valued customer. This is how you celebrate your 100 years of service, by forgetting and fooling your valued customers.

I hope something will happen and I will get a call that my complaint has been received and action will be taken.

Dear Sir/ Ma'm,

My name is Rajesh Vij & I am a highly dissatisfied unfortunate customer whose made a blunder by purchasing Whirlpool refrigerator Ice-Magic 350. Since then your product has given only problems & I have to cough-up about approx. Rs 10,000 more on its maintanence without getting satisfaction.

Other than the four complaints till last year, my this year's complaints record is as follows :

1) On 3rd Jul'11, I had lodged complaint for "no cooling" in the Refrigerator vide complaint no. DL[protected] for which your engineer visited on 5th Jul'11& informed that gas has been leaked. He filled the gas & charged Rs 1840. Engineer asked for Customer satisfaction code provided by your call center which I did not informed him because I wanted to confirm the cooling level. Engineer told me that he will visit after one week & will take the code.

2) Refrigerator's cooling started but not upto the original level. Though the food stuff kept in it was cooled but very lowly. Even the icecream brick kept in Freezer was melted. After about 10 days when your engineer did not returned & condition remains like that I called your service center directly and explained the condition. I was told that service Engineer will visit for confirmation. But no body turned-up till 10th Sep'11. (Pl note that customer code was also not disclosed ). In between, I contacted the service center two time more but no response.

3) Suddenly, on 11th Sep'11 morning, the cooling in refrigerator reduced drastically. On 12th Sep'11, I contacted your customer care & informed the situation. I was shocked to know that my earlier complaint has been closed without getting customer satisfaction code & a fresh complaint no. DL[protected] was booked & new customer code was issued. On 13th Sep'11, your service engineer visited & after checking informed that compressor of the refrigerator is not functioning properly due to which last complaint might have occurred. He forwarded the complaint for compressor replacement which was replaced after 21 days (on 24th Sep'11) inspite of daily calls at your customer care & lots of heated arguments.

4) Since I was not present at home at the time of repair, I told my wife to tell the customer satisfaction code to engineer till fully satisfied. Once again I was forced to pay Rs 700 towards visiting charges & other parts replaced which were replaced in last visit also. Moreover, engineer told that he will come again after three days to check & take the satisfaction code. Moreover, to my shock, some of the parts were left loose and not fixed properly. Once again neither your engineer turned up nor he bother to get the satisfaction code. Now for last three days, the cooling is getting low, refrigerator is making strange noises & water is dripping from bottom of the refrigerator. Moreover, two plastic parts which were not fixed on 24th Sep'11 are still kept loose.

5) Today, on 11th Oct'11, I have called-up again at your customer care & informed the situation. I was once again shocked to know that my earlier complaint lodged on 11th Sep'11 has been closed with "satisfactory" comments though I have not told the satisfaction code to anyone. When argued about that my phone was put on hold for 15 minutes by your executive ( female) after which it was disconnected. I called again talked to your other executive Mr Amit. When I complaint about my situation, I was given another complaint no. DL[protected] and most probably you will issue another Customer Satisfaction Code to make fool of customer because it has no value.

I, therefore, request you all, pl do not buy Whirlpool products due to their sub-standered products and poor & in-efficient after salef service.

Highly frustrated customer of Whirlpool

From the very beginning of its acquisition I have been facing problem with the Refrigerator. The latest one is formation of ice in the whole body of the freezer and on the stored items for which I have been in touch with your customer service, Jaipur but of no avail. From September, '11 onwards till date I have made three complaints the latest being vide no. JP [protected] dated 30.10.11 when I was promised to depute a Senior Executive to look into the problem but nobody turned up till date.

You are therefore, requested to please look into the matter and take remedial measures to put the Refrigerator in proper condition. Since this is in warranty period if the problem can not be rectified properly free replacement may be made.

Please note that in the event of not attending the complaint and put the Refrigerator in proper condition before 15.10.11 I will have no option other than to refer to case to the consumer redressal form which may please be noted.

We have a Whirlpool Sport Washing Machine which has been giving us trouble (some technical error with PCB for which its not working) for past one month. Several complaints have been registered with the regional service center and they have visited and checked the machine several time. The problem gets solved for a day and comes back to the same
error again. Finally, when we requested to make a permanent solution, they said that they do not have the board in stock and could only do when they get fresh shock for which they could not give us a confirmed
date. We requested them to give us a Loan machine for which they refused. At present they are asking us to make a fresh complaint if we need to get it our machine rectified.

Made complaints with following reference number and dates
KL[protected] customer no 583
KL[protected] customer no 595 Dated 10 September 2011

Hi

I purchased Whirlpool Fridge in 2007 which was working fine without any issue. Suddenly last week (15th Sep 2011), some short circuit happened in fridge and it started smelling. We switched off and intimated Whirlpool Customer Care (Case Number[protected]. From the conversation with customer care, we came to understand:

1. Our Fridge has 1+4 years of warranty and guarantee which implies, 1st year we will get complete service free of cost and from 2nd year till end of 5th year, only Compressor is under warranty and guarantee. Though the Sales Representative (Dealer) said us, we have 5 years of complete service at no cost. No problem, lets ignore this.

The service person came and checked. He charged 280/- and confirmed the following:

1. Due to high-voltage, short circuit happened which burned some wires inside the fridge are burnt.
2. This issue happened due to short circuit. Because of this, Whirlpool will not take up this case.

I told him, if there was high-voltage, then 1st thing is Stabilizer will go for a toss, but here Stabilizer is working. The service person said, we are not using Whirlpool Stabilizer which is recommended for Whirlpool Fridges. I told him, the dealer/sales representative said, the stabilizer which we purchased is the best and safest. Also, while installing fridge, whirlpool person came and didn’t said anything about stabilizer (like we should use whirlpool stabilizer for whirlpool fridges).

I also highlighted, if Whirlpool is not going to repair, then whom we should approach. We are ready to pay for repair? Finally, the service person said, if we can provide them a bill copy, they can check if Whirlpool can exchange this. We provided the bill copy and then we didn’t get any call.

We just got a message, that our case is closed. We were shocked and again called ‘Whirlpool Customer Care’. They opened a new case “[protected]” and same sales person came. This time, they said, Whirlpool is not going to exchange it and the fridge cannot be repaired.

We again told them, if Whirlpool is not repairing it, then whom we should approach. They didn’t had any answer. They left.

We got a message, that our case is closed as we didn’t agree to pay money? We are shocked. Again we called up ‘Whirlpool Customer Care’, but they are not listening to our problem and they are just telling that some service person will call. It’s already 2 days over and no one called yet?

Please guide me, what I should do next?

so poor service from such a reputed company.never expected so.i m tired of noting down the complain nos.no response from service center.

we bought a whirlpool washing machine. it was our very big mistake to buy this company product. from the begining the machine was not working properly. we compained to whirlpool so many times. company engineer comes but the machine is still unsatisfactory. and not working properly. you may check the records of our complaints. if the whirlpool product is like this then how can company claim themself WORLDCLASS. I think this company is not a honest company and doing fraud with customers. you are requested to do the needfull and do not buy any whirlpool product.

Please go through my agony, before u chooses to go for whirlpool equipments. I had purchased the so called great washing machine of whirlpool” WHITE MAGIC H65 STAIN WASH WITH 6TH SENSE “on 26/10/2007. Mine is small family and the use of washing machine is just normal .We stay in the department of Atomic Energy Township, Chettikulam in Tirunelvel district of Tamil Nadu where the power supply interruption /fluctuation will be bare minimum compared to other areas. Due to my sense less purchase of this “WHITE MAGIC H65 STAIN WASH WITH 6TH SENSE “, I need to spend Rs 3500/- for the PCB replacement regularly like annual maintenance. I have replaced PCB, 2 times in 4 years (first one in 22/09/11 and second one on 10/09/11). Please aware of the risk being taken by you all, if you go for such senseless purchases. Before this, I was using BPL fuzzy logic machine from 1995 to 2007 and I curse myself for my foolish decision of its replacement with this so called 6th sense machine.
When contacted customer care centre , I was dragged almost 5-6 days to pay attention to my complaint .Initially , I was given information that it will be replaced by free of cost but a few days , today (10th September 2011) I was told all the expenses should be borne by me.
So
Beware Beware & Beware about 6th sense whirl pool machine.
