Whirlpool India Complaints & Reviews

Would you believe this. Whirlpool double door frost free refrigerator causes water to drip from the freezer unit to the chiller unit below. The answer given is that it happens during rains and when I asked them why does it happen only after the expiry of the warranty period, the answer is once again very surprising and interesting . Sir you do not have a voltage stabilizer why don't you buy from us. Before this statement is made to you nonchalantly one is asked to switch of the fridge and keep the doors open for 48 hours ,meaning thereby that I have to trouble my neighbor to keep my milk, cheese and other items which require refrigeration.. What a waste of time. Is this what one is expected to do after shelling a packet to buy a fridge from the so called market leader. The lining is peeling off, the quality of the trays and other shelves is so poor,.that I cant believe that when it was marketed i heard the sales boy jokingly telling me that even i sit inside and it would not crack However cracks have already appeared inside and my fridge after four months of purchase and my fridge is not even 2 years old. It makes such big vibrating noise one feels that somebody is snoring in the drawing room.I remember the good old days where one used to cherish Alwyn, godrej and voltass refrigerators . i grew with them and unless they were dumped they used to function without any problem. I think all o[censored]s are being taken for a ride by these multinational companies. During the warranty period if any complaint is made no body comes even to inspect. The moment the warranty is over they are quick and remind you of the visiting charges also. I must warn my fellow country men buy whirlpool at your risk other wise you will end up in a cesspool of misery.

I own a Whirlpool refrigerator 310 lts for last 15 yeras. Till now we never had a single issue with the product.

Recently, the refrigerator had some cooling problem and we thought of getting it checked. For this we got in touch with the customer care deptt of Whirlpool. I called the customer care deptt [protected] (Number allocated to North Region as per their Website). When I called this number they insisted that I need to call the Local number allocated for Gurgaon which is[protected].

After calling this number, they gave a complaint number HR[protected], with a commitment that I will get a call from service engineer within 2 hours and the product will be repaired on the same day. (That same day never came) No such call was received and I had to call customer care deptt a number of times requesting a service engineer. Till now I haven't received a call from the service engineer.

Finally, I gave up and got the refrigerator repaired from a local shop.

Considering the fact that I owned this refrigerator for 15 years and I didn't give any issues is beyond excellent. However, the service to back up this kind of product is both pathetic and appalling.

These are must:-

• When you call the whirlpool customer service for any complaint, you must a good patience as they will do everything in their power to drive you nuts.

• Getting angry at customer service is of no use, as they will disconnect your call and may even delay the service.

• Even if they commit that a call from engineer will be given in two hours, that call will never come.

• They are offering good product, but worse customer service.

I had just purchased a new split AC of whirlpool.After installation of the split AC it was found that there were several scratches and cracks on the display screen of the Indoor unit.I told the above to the engineer/technician even,but he told me such that such scratches and cracks might come during installation.But I disagree with him as I am buying a new AC and not a second hand.They are not ready to relace the indoor unit of split AC.
So I want you to take some urgent action at the soonest.

Hello,

All of you I suggest you that not to buy any UPS from Whirlpool as the services is too poor and the product is also not working. This is just a wastage of money.
I just want to replace my product from the Whirlpool Please help me.

I did not think that a brand like Whirlpool would have such a poor service in the capital. My efforts to get across the consumer service manager have been unsuccessful.

I have lost trust in this brand and would advise all consumers not to buy a whirlpool product.

I purchasd the Refrigrator of Whirpool Proton model from your outlet in July 2010. The first week itself the machine had to be repaired and some parts replaces. Now the vegetable compartment is not working fine, vegetables are getting spoilt within a day/two. This has already been informed and there is no response of getting this machine replace. please note we have paid Rs. 27000/- for this fridge and we expect you to get this replaced at the earliest. We have already informed the service centre and there is no response.

Request to replace the product with any other brand available in your outlet. Any difference amount can be paid.

My Whirlpool Refrigerator (6th sense technology- Single door) is not in working condition since two months. Several complaints have been lodged to our Service Centre in Ranchi as well as to Patna. They are of the excuse that spare parts are not available with them.

I bought a whirlpool fridge from QRS Trivandrum (Karamana Branch TIN [protected]) on 14/08/2010. Once the product reached my home
there is a big crack on inner side of the door and immediately reported this to branch very next day morning in person. They send a service guy for confirming this after a day. He recommend for the replacement of product. QRS agreed it and send the ball to service center for the new product.From that day on wards whenever we contacted the QRS branch, they are telling there is no vehicle available for send the new product and they are repeating the same whenever we we contacted them.

We bought this fridge by paying Re 1000 for additional 2 year garantee from QRS.
Its is really pathetic service from QRS karama branch, they never bother about the customer once product sent from their shop. And more over there is no use in paying more for the garantee which QRS is promising.

Sir,

I purchased a Whirlpool washing machine (WhiteMagicash fully automatic) from Home Solutions Retail India Ltd, Mangalore on 24th May 2008. This machine [Serial no. INBO81705690 / [protected]] was working well till recently. In the first week of August it stopped all of a sudden. When we turn
on the switch, there will be no display at all. I placed a complaint with the Whirlpool complaints. They sent a technician to look at the machine. He opened the control panel, detached the sealed PCB and did some tests. Then the technician said the IC was defective. He said Whirlpool will not repair the PCB but
would replace it with a repaired board or a brand new board. The cost was Rs.1700 plus service charge or Rs. 2000 plus service charge, depending on whether I wanted to go for a repaired board or a brand new board. As this cost was high, I asked the technician whether I could try to repair the board locally. He
said it would be fine, since the warranty period was already over.

Later when I took the board to a local service person, he agreed to replace the defective IC (if it was available) for around Rs.1300/-. However before he took the board for repair, he pointed out that the supposedly sealed board (that stayed untouched in my machine for the last two years) had a portion where the wax was replaced. It meant that when I purchased a brand new washing machine from Whirlpool, two years ago, they had a repaired board inside my machine!

Frankly, I am shocked that a reputed company like whirlpool should use repaired or refurbished parts inside a brand new washing machine. I called up the customer care last week and communicated the same to them. They sent a techinician to look at the board. However they have not offered to repair my board. In fact I spoke to the person in charge of our district for Whirlpool. My machine is still in the defective position.

I have couple of friends who have used whirlpool machines for 7 or 8 years without any service at all. I feel the machine has developed this problem because of the repaired board. I know that technically the warranty period for my washing machine is over and the company is not under any obligation to replace the board free of cost. BUT A COMPANY LIKE WHIRLPOOL SHOULD NOT CHEAT CUSTOMERS BY SELLING BRAND NEW PRODUCTS WITH REPAIRED / REFURBISHED PARTS.

Sir, kindly look into this matter and give me a fair deal on this issue.

Thanking you,

Siby Paul

Hello,

I want to register a complaint against Whirlpool India for its defective product and highly unreliable customer service in New Delhi.

We bought a refrigerator from Whirlpool last year on 27th June 2009.
In less than one year, we started facing problem with the functioning of the product and hence made a complaint to the Whirlpool customer care Delhi. As the product was still in the warranty period, they repaired it but we never got to know what the actual problem was and how did they resolve it temporarily because after a few days it again stopped functioning.

As the product had already given problem twice in less than an year and there was no reliability that it will not stop working again in few days, we asked them to either replace the product or extend our warranty by at least 6 months. Both our requests were denied straightaway and after consistent requests, they agreed to extend our warranty by 3 months but did not give us any written confirmation of the same even after constant reminders.

Now our warranty period is over and the refrigerator has again started giving problem. When we tried to register a complaint to the Whirlpool customer care, they informed us that they will lodge a complaint only if we are ready to pay Rs. 350 as the visiting charges of the Service Engineer (again without any guarantee that the problem will be resolved). When we told them that our warranty period had been extended, they simply denied that saying that they had no written record for the same.

Please help us and let us know how to take this matter further so that our problem can be resolved.

Dear All,

I purchased Whirlpool Front Load Washing Machine ( ASIA No WLF 82B0A0 ), Serial Number 0049108 from army canteen, Delhi.

On 12th May 2010, I found that the machine was not rinsing the clothes, but the rest of the machine was functional.

On 16th May, Mr. Amit from Amba Refrigeration (Whirlpool Service Station), Rohtak, inspected the machine and said that PCB Europa Classic ( Type A1 023) is not working and it is required to be replaced. The PCB was not in stock in anywhere in Haryana and ask us to arrange for the same.

On 22nd May, we lodged a complaint in customer care request number HR [protected], but no action has been taken and and complaint was closed any visit.
We lodged the same complaint on 1st June and 22nd June with request numbers HR [protected] and HR [protected], but every time the request had been closed without any visit.

Continuously we are in contact with Mr Nirdosh ( SR Area Manager). Finally the PCB was arranged in last week of July, Mr Vikas from Whirlpool Service Station fixed the new PCB, but machine was stopped working. After that Mr Rajesh from Whirlpool, inspected the machine and asked to send the same to the service station. The machine sent to service station, now its motor, timer everything has been jammed, and it not working.

Please resolve this issue.

I purchased whirlpool double door refrigerator in 2005.
We allready had it repaired back for its cooling problem.
Since last few months there was big sound form the freezer fan and water leakage problem.
First the whirlpool people replaced the fan..but no use..in next complaint they replaced the fan motor..now at least I do not get the sound but the water leakage problem is still there. Complaint No. PN[protected].
Even after 3-4 visits the problem is not resolved. The whirlpool engineers just ask to keep the fridge off for 1-2 days .. then only the water drains ...but again after few days the leakage starts...
Always we have fbig ood loss because of this problem...
We have already spent about Rs. 5000 for the fridge repaire.
Even we did not got valid response from pune head office.
After such frustration we have decided to buy a new fridge of some other company today only.
Also I have decided to approach the Consumer Court now for the loss of Rs. 23000(refridgerator price) + Rs.5000 (repair charges) and all the frustration caused.

Sir,i purchased a microwave oven on 2/7/2009 from a reputed store in chennai.unfortunately the door lock of the oven broke on 1/8/2010 and i registered a complaint on the tollfree number given in the instruction book.
despite repeated attempts to get the service centre to do the repairs i had no luck.then finally the manager lies that the spare part has not been obtained from Pune and it is on the way.On 8/8/2010 they send over Manoj a technician with no interest in repairing the machine who was not only rude and arrogant but was very careless in handling the equipment.this was sent by Heaven enterprises one of the service centres in chennai.he cheats us by replacing the door panel with the door of another machine which was lying in their godown and says that spare parts are not available and charges us 1250 for the" part"replaced.when we contacted the manager mr.ravikumar he promised to look into the matter and get the new spare part from pune and replace it.now we get a message on our mobile that our complaint has been closed and we are shocked at the total cheating and fraud.the person in chrge mr.wilson also tolsd manoj to bring back our door panel and he had quietly slipped it into his bag and was caught at the door by us.
it is only fair that the company replace the spares properly as we have paid for it and have been cheated by the company's recommended service centre.

sir,
i have purchased an airconditioner model name AVIATOR from WHIRLPOOL.
from the first day it is not working properly and it is totally a defected piece.when we complaint to the shop named SARGAM ELECTRONICS , SAKCHI , JAMSHEDPUR. they said that it is the matter of authorised service center.after that we have been consulting to the service center from last 3 months they are not taking any action even our AC is under warranty. the sevice person and managers are threatning us and making joke out of it.
the company is giving us warranty and promising many fake promises of warranty and service.
i hope you will take prior and immediate action against THE WHIRLPOOL SERVICE CENTRE , JAMSHEDPUR.
i will be heartly thankful to you.
yours faithfully,
