Sub: - Complaint / Charge against Whirlpool India Ltd.
I purchased 2 Air conditioners 150 Ei and a refrigerator 350 L from Whirlpool Authorized dealer M/s City Audio Vision (P) Ltd. on 11th June 2003 for Rs. 64,700.00 .( copy of bill enclosed ). The same was paid to the Dealer vide pay order no 182179 dt 10th June 2003 payable at Bank of America Connaught place.
Sequence of events:-
On Feb 27th 2008 I lodged a complaint with the Whirlpool call centre no +[protected] regarding my refrigerator. The problem was that the refrigerator was not working and there was no cooling in Freezer and the main cabinet.
On 28th Engineer visited my residence and recommended that they will need to change the compressor gas to rectify problem.
On 29th he visited again at our residence with the gas kit , opens the compressor and tried to rectify the problem however was not able to rectify the problem and suggested that they will need to take the refrigerator to workshop as there is a blockage in the pipe which needs to be cleaned with nitrogen.
Despite continuous reminders the refrigerator was ultimately lifted from our house on 3nd March 2008 for the repairs with the commitment that the repaired refrigerator will be replaced within 3 working days. I was continuously following up with the Call centre however they were not able to deliver the refrigerator until 8th March 2008. On delivery I paid Rs 1230 for the repairs although my refrigerator is still under warranty.
During this period I had spoken to no of Whirlpool executives including Vikram and Gurpreet from the Home Care Centre..
To my surprise when the refrigerator was returned back at my residence, I noticed that the base of the refrigerator freezer has been burnt while doing some welding in the process of repairing the refrigerator and the clip of the back tray has been broken and on top of it the refrigerator is not working at all. I called up on no +[protected], and logged the complaint again. I spoke to Gurpreet and he gave me assurance that some senior will give me a call and give me the full details and a Service Engineer will visit my home within 2 hours. Neither I have received any call from any senior nor did any Service Engineer visit my residence.
I now and totally dissatisfied with service and given the mal intentions of cheating I request yourself to register the case and charge the Whirlpool India under Consumer Protection Act 1986.
Claim:-
Replacement of my refrigerator with new one as the base of the Freezer has been burnt and is nor repairable.
Compensations of Rs 50,000.00 for the mental trauma and the stress I and my family had gone through the whole week, My old aged mother who is suffering from Herpis at this point on time and for that matter my whole family had to live without refrigerator for a week in these scorching summers.
Request your good self for the speedy redressal of the dispute.
Thanking you
Yours truly,
