I have purchased a fridge, model : 21290, inv cnv 375 steel onyx, serial no: ine[protected], date of invoice: 19/07/2020, invoice no: gpw/sa2021/00995, from raipur electronics girish park. The fridge was delivered on 22nd july2020 and i found there is a gap of around 15 mm in the lower door, which is not closing properly. I called to the customer care [protected] for the same and got the complaint number[protected]. And got a call from mr animesh from igloo service ([protected]), who is very arrogant by his behavior. And a service engineer named ramen visited on 23rd to check the problem and suggested that it needs to apply hot gun (Although he was not sure) to solve the problem and the gap.
My question is, i have paid full money for a new fridge not for any damaged one. Then why should i take a repaired fridge?
Another thing, whirlpool is paying igloo service to support customer. They must be polite to the customer first. Whirlpool must think on it.

My primary concern is:
1. What is the life of a bearing placed inside the washing machine? This is 50% in the machine cost. Why should someone purchase this machine?
2. Purpose of washing machine is to use it and not to keep it as a showoff piece. However, I have not been able to use it because of this bearing issue. How is "Whirlpool" going to resolve this?
3. If replacing the bearing which costs approximately 6000/- is the solution how often it should be replaced?
4. Service engineer and the manager DO NOT understand the pain of a consumer. Looks like they have been advised to do what they have been doing it for years.
Building a brand does not happen in one day. It takes years and many peoples hard work. However, the reputation can get spoiled if the concerns are not addressed correctly.
