IFB Industries Complaints & Reviews

Respected Sir, I have purchased two products of IFB on 20.01.2015. One is Washing Machine (6.5 kg.), bearing Invoice No. 12/SA/1415/19258 and the other is Micro Oven (30 litres) bearing Invoice No. 12/SA/1415/19256 from Great Eastern Trading Co., Garia Branch, 433, Garia Main Road, Kolkata-700084, W.B. I have contacted IFB Customer Care Services over phone number of times and as per their advice Kolkata based service centres also. I have requested Great Eastern, Garia Branch also. But all are in vain. Till date no IFB representative has attended for demonstration. I would, therefore, earnestly request your personal intervention towards the following : 1. Pl. help me and take needful action so that IFB representative attends for demonstration/installation immediately. 2. Take this matter to the notice of the highest authority of IFB. 3. Great Eastern Trading Co., Garia Branch should be banned to sell any IFB Product as they are not taking any initiative. Your necessary action in this matter shall be highly appreciated. Scanned copies of the Invoices of the above two products are enclosed herewith. Any mistake on my part may please be excused. With regards, MD. ABDUL SATTAR MONDAL KASTURI PARK, SOUTH KUMRAKHALI P.O.

We have taken 2 years AMC for IFB Senator Front Loading washing machine with the hope that IFB will attend to the service complaints on a timely basis. We have logged a complaint on Dec 23, 2014 and it is over 1 month since the complaint and there has been no progress. We have been following up with the company who kept promising repair on several dates but nothing happened. Lastly we spoke with Mr. Suraj, who is the Zonal Manager, Bangalore the senior most person in the services chain, who promised that the part was available and that they would replace it on Jan 23, 2015. Now Mr. Suraj himself does not attend to our calls. I have never seen any company with callous attitude towards a customer complaint and with the senior most person at IFB himself is demonstrating such attitude, we don't know who else to approach now.

I have lodged a complaint as the microwave is not working on 7th jan 2015 complain number 14647230. Technician came to check and said need to change parts but after that they said parts are not available and now its almost 20 days they have left my microwave open in the kitchen. Now every day i am calling and they are saying will get back to you in the evening but no way. Every day I am speaking to new new managers I am tired of explaining my problem. Its not even a year I purchased. They are not exchanging not giving my money back. Please help. Regards, Chirantan. [protected]

Gentlemen, I am having IFB Executive Plus washing machine. Of late unbearable sound is emanating from the machine when it is washing the clothes especially between cycle D-F-G. I filed my complaint to customer care number[protected] on 17.1.2015. They gave my complaint No. as [protected]. But till date nobody turned up to fix the problem and correct it. When I contacted them over Phone No.[protected] they informed that the work is allotted to one of the technician and he will come and attend the same. Till date no body turned up. Within a period of one year I have changed the drum, outer cover, tub and shock absorber. But still the sound is emanating while the machine performs its function. When the technician visited on previous occasion he told that since bearing is changed the sound will come and it will subside after one week. But there is no improvement. Please take necessary action to rectify the problem or let them say the problem is not rectifiable.

After spending close to 50, 000 rupees on a combo washer/dryer unit i have faced tremendous issues in the last six months. Everytime a board needs to be replaced and because these units are sold low in numbers in this region parts are hard to get. Therefore, the customer suffers by waiting for parts to be sent from panaji for three weeks minimum. This is a four year warranty unit and i have already replaced the side board, front panel board, and the lock switch. Now it is showing an error e8. Here is the latest ticket number:12055719

Team IFB, THis is a SERIOUS CONCERN about your service. I picked up ...a IFB convection microwave (23BC4) on 17 Dec 2014 (Inv. [protected]) . The door handle got dislocated on 24 Dec 2014. I registered a complaint[protected] on the same day. All the service engineer did was on 27 Dec that he checked and told me that I will have to pay for the handle. I said i will pay but i need in writing that Handles are NOT covered under warranty. As soon as I told this, the service guy told me that he will get back. Nothing happened till first week of Jan 2015. Posted a SoS message on FB. Got a PROMPT reply to help on 12 Jan. I am in touch with Rahul from Bangalore Office ([protected]) on a daily basis. Reason given is that the handle from Goa is on the way. Surprised!! I logged a call on 19 Jan[protected]. I asked for another person in the escalation chain. No one is ready is ready to help. I just want to share my 'wonderful' experience with my IFB microwave without a handle for more than 3 weeks. Can someone look at this message and kindly have a courtesy call with me Please?

I have the IFB microwave oven (25CS3) which I bought just one year back and hardly used it. It stopped working due to some problem in the front panel. The complaint[protected]/[protected] has been logged for closed to 3 months now and there has been no solution provided. I have made innumerable number of calls to the call center and other area managers numbers. They just give us only false hope saying they will get back in 30 mins and never is have they. This is absolutely not what was expected from IFB product and service when I bought it.

I got new washing machine yesterday, and I paid Rs.27250 for señorita side open model, and they said its 4 years warranty and for demo, company person will come. the person who came for demo from IFB said, only if we purchase stabiliser and filter the product will cover under warranty, without stabiliser it will not cover under warranty, I immediately contact the company but they didn't pick up. So we were forced to buy filter and stabiliser for Rs 3300. Today I went to the company to enquire about the stabiliser but they replied it's not like that and without stabiliser the warranty will be climbed. It's totally cheating kinda thing, that we were forced to buy stabiliser and filter threatening us that it will doesn't cover under warranty. It totally abuse. I need immediate action.

I have purchased IFB Serena fully automatic washing machine in Oct 2011 From mahajan electronics Raja garden . After one year the machine started leaking from below but when I complained regarding the issue the representative come and can't detect the actual problem . Many of representative came and befooled me quoting different statement to purchase IFB detergents to solve this prioblem .I even purchased them but the problem existed ...But when I strongly opposed the company sent another representative who understood the problem but didn't told me ...He made some JUGAAD and somehow leakage stopped.. Again after 2-3 days the same problem started and when I called the same representative, he said some part has to be changed and he is already aware of that ... Representative came today and unscrewed the machine and I found that there was a big hole in rear drum which was taped with ifb sticker all round . There is lot of leakage due to this and my machine from inside has been corroded n parts are damaged to do this blunder done by the ifb company .He changed the particular part but I need a reason why a faulty machine is SOLD AS A NEW MACHINE by IFB... I want my complete money back as I have been harrassed by I F B

I have IFB washing machine having AMC Valid till March, 2015. I resides at Haldia, Dist, Purba Medinipur, West Bengal-721607. My Washing Machine is not working since the last two weeks or more. I called the local authorised agent two weeks back for same. The technician came and visited but did nothing. He appraised that he will visit again 2/3 day later. After 5/6 days letter, the same fellow came and did nothing. After that technician lost his touch and never attended the problem. I also called to service centre, kolkata and was assured of immediate action. But till date no action is being taken so far. At last getting fed up, I am lodging the complain. Pl advise the service agent to attend the the case immediately and resolve the issue.
