[Resolved]  Siemens Home India — POOR SERVICE& COMPLAINT RESOLUTION

Address:Ernakulam, Kerala

I have a Siemens washing machine model no: WXB10601N/03. In Sep'14, the machine stopped working. This was notified to the local service station in Kochi, Kerala, BSH household Appliances Manufacturing pvt ltd, No: 39/3370, Manikath Road, Ravipuram Kochin. The service personnel after checking identified the problem as corrosion of the drum assembly and the entire drum assembly was to be replaced. He mentioned that the lead time to procure the assembly was going to be three months as this is currently not available in India. The service personnel also took Rs 800 for this visit. This is not acceptable as a consumer who had paid a premium for the machine deserves a better service in terms of problem resolution. We would like an authorised personnel from Siemens to help resolve this issue and replace the drum assembly at the earliest. Request the team to look into this issue on priority Many thanks for your understanding thank you regards Sindhu Augustine Ph: [protected]

I understand that this is a standard procedure with Siemens India, that they charge 800 Rs for every visit without any result. They define the problem in terms of some technical jargon and quote an amount equal to or more than the cost of the machine for replacing the faulty part.


We had opted for Siemens expecting world class product quality and service support, but extremely sorry to say other wise.
Not very surprised to note the sorry state of affairs in siemens sevice centre in Kochi.
Post registration of this complaint, Service Person Mr. Rijo, came visiting from Kochi office. The update give was that the drum assembly will be replaced on 13th Jan'14. on 13th, the person conveniently calls up to tell that it will be replaced only on 14th. on 14th again he calls up to tell that the service will be done only on 15th. now finally it is postponed to 16th Jan. should we really take in all this crap??
this is ridiculous and not acceptable. this showns the amount of importance Siemens places on consumer concerns.
i had called up the Kochin branch to talk to the branch manager( if there is any one), but was told he was travelling to Delhi. asked to be connected to the next senior person. the person who took the call at Kochin office was Mr. Mukesh and was informed that the next senior person was Mr. Shiju, who was out on lunch. i had given my Mobile number to be given a call back. but thankfully did not even receive a courtesy call back.


is this the way the consumer giants place importance on customer concerns. pittiable and not reliable.


the lackadaisical response was that they did not people to do the service. once a commitment is given, it needs to be honoured.


if the assembly is not replaced on 15th jan as per the second commitment, this will be raised as a formal case on the consumer court
