I bought Executive Plus machine #122378 in Lucknow on May 24, 2006. Until March 2008, they promptly attended to complaints. I have no problem with the machine, which I am maintaining as per manual and service instructions. It is in excellent condition. They came in May trying to sell their AMC at a prohibitive rate, which I could not afford. I would be better off with a general insurance for machine breakdown that paying such prohibitive rates to IFB contractees. However, I requested their visiting engineer to deliver me four packets of Descal. Having failed to deliver despite reminders for two months, I asked their senior engineer to deliver as I was unable to get through to their call center. After he too failed to deliver, I managed to get through their call center about a fortnight back and booked an order #45917 for just two packets of Descal and informing them of my predicament with the engineers. That too has not helped. Today, I complained online via their feedback and have also booked online the same Descal with FABO. Again, earlier Ariel Ultramatic was the recommended detergent. Last year, Ariel discontinued Ultramatic and came out with Funomatic the soapy smell of which does not leave the clothes and does not seem to have any enzymes worth the name in it. These guys then recommended Heinkomatic, which is no better. Both, Funomatic and Heinkomatic that cost Rs. 150/kg, sticks in the detergent tray. With no proper detergent available in the market for front loading washing machines, I would not advise anybody to purchase a front loading washing machine at this time.

I’m a Customer of an IFB Washing Machine. I have purchased a washing Machine (DIGITAL 5KG) from VIVEKS, NANGANALLUR, and CHENNAI in the month of December2007. The serial no. Of the Machine is 3653, purchase date 15/12/07.
From the starting onwards we are facing frequent mechanical problems in the Machine, listing the problems
1/ Heavy Vibration due to imbalance of stone. And the balance screws get unscrewed and the stone is been disturbed and shifted down.
2/ Tub Breakage
3/ Top Stone screws loosen up etc. Overall the machine is not used continuously for a 3 to 4 days time.
This problem is been highlighted through Customer care No. and given humpty no. Of complaints. People come from XECLL CARE, for our area. The problem will be attended on namesake only after many no. Of follow up calls from our side.
After small corrections the problem will highlight once again after 3 to 4 days. Till today we have raised 25 to 30 times of complaints. The problem is not analyzed properly and corrected once for all. The People normally come from XCELL CARE after raising the complaint by 7 days after many follow up calls and also not attend the problem correctly. Now all the complaint has been raised, the same been extended to 25 days, till today the problem is not been solved.
Because of the same, we have a big fight within our family members and totally disturbed because of the same.
And also the people we recommended to buy this M/C all working very good and they have no problem in the Machine.
So, Kindly consider this as the priority and do the needful in correcting the Machine once for all. IF not pls replace us the Machine.
Expecting the reply at the earliest through mail / phone call.
Sincere Customer,

since starting onwards we are facing frequent mechanical problems in the Machine
Vibration problem is been highlighted through Customer care No. and given humpty no. Of complaints. People come. The problem will be attended on namesake only after many no. Of follow up calls from our side technician showed up and told me that he fixed it. Now it has gone worst. It moves from one place to another (heavy vibrations). I have complained twice now but nobody has turned up so far.I am really getting frustrated with this machine and IFB's lousy customer service.
But now our machine is dead since 13 july, 2010 and after number of complaint no one ready to solve the problem. Even customer care took 15 days to reply my mail.
This is the service of IFB Cusomer care and after taking this worst experience i will never recomend to anyone to use IFB products.
IFB is cheater company.

Ever since the machine has been purchased, it has not been working properly and stops on its own. Several complaints in this regard have been lodged with the Customer Care. The persons who come to attend the complaints from the service centre say that this is due to low water pressure. However, all other models of the machine work properly. I have got the water pressure checked and it is not low. Apparently, this problem is due to a manufacturing defect and is being faced only in the 7 Kg digital machine and not in the manual models.
I wrote about this to the head offcie in Kolkata and the Office in NOIDA, but there has been no response.
Incidentally, during the last three years the PCB has been changed three times. Since it was in extended warranty, I did not have to pay for this. But after 10/12/2012, I am told it will cost me about Rs. 8000. We have two other machines in the family (Senator 6 Kg) and they are working just fine. Apparently, only the 7 Kg digital models have this problem
It is requested that the machine may either be replaced with a 6 Kg Senator, which is sturdier. Alternately, the cost of the machine refunded.

I booked one front loading washing machine at International Trade fair at Kolkata (beside science city auditorium) on December 2010 or January 2011 and I paid Rs. 5000/- as advance. That after few days said washing machine was delivered and I paid the balance consideration money to them and they gave me the bill for the same. Now the said machine has some problem and the staff of your service center demanding the bill which is actually misplaced/lost.
Please tell me from where I may get the duplicate bill for the same.
