Whirlpool oven wall

I bought a new Khov house last year. Before my warranty expired Oct 30/07, I called Whirpool to get service for my wall ovens, that I couldn't use them because there was a "beep" all the time. The technician came on Oct 25/07, he pushed some buttons, and then he told me that everything was ok, but it wasn't. (Please keep in mind, that before he left he wrote in a piece of paper an 800 number, for me to call and to buy the extended warranty, in case I wll need it in the future). A few minutes after he left, that "beep" started again. I called him right away at his cell phone, and I let him know that nothing was fixed. He told that now he had to order a part and that he will call me back. Today
is Dec.11/07, and since I haven't go any call from them, I decided to call Whirpool. They sent me again to the same technician, and what he answered was: Oh, I called you but you didn't answer the phone. (He never did it)so, now you have to pay for everything. So that was the purpose of the 800 number. He never finish his job, AND NOW THEY WANT TO RENDER THAT SERVICE, BUT NOT UNDER THE SAME ORDER I MADE BEFORE THE EXPIRATION OF THE WARRANTY! They waited, that way they can ask for payment! PLUS, then I called Whirpool to report this, and the man at the customer service wasn't at all kind ... he was instead: arrogant and unrespectful! I would NEVER recommend that brand again!

The whirlpool company i think is a cheater company which cheats its customers through so called whirlpool magic.They are the worst when it comes to service.They are only into getting visiting fees for engineers and leaving the customers to fend for themselves as they never rectify the problem.I had a small problem of my whirlpool 215 elite model door hinge broken. i complaint to 27 aug 2007 on whirlpool call center giving specifics of my door problem. when their engineer came he said that he was just told that there was some problem in refrigerator and he had come to know what was the problem and then demanded the visiting fees. when told why not i give it after it is made , he said then wait till it is made .you can never get it in the market.he used in most abusive language.when contacted to his service center they again told lies.that it be made but till date no one has informed that when it is going to be made or when the engineer visit. the worst refrigerator of the world is Whirlpool.

My Whirpool washing machine is not functioning correctly. I called up 020-[protected] and service centre almost 10 times in last 2 months but it is not corrected yet. Once a junior engineer (with not having enough skills, as he was taking consultancy on phone with somebody else) came to my house but could not solve the problem.

Few request number are as follows:
Req# 3549 in June
Req# 6037 on 4th July.
I would really request everybody not to purchase any whirpool product.

I thought it was only in the US or rather California that the service STInks. Turns out you have the same thing in India. After the experience with Whirlpool's service, and learning that the same repair company handles most American branded products, well I am going to buy Japanese or European goods from now on.

If it were not for this stuff being under warranty...

Anyhow, looking forward to being in Delhi next year for a couple of weeks.

Whirlpool non receipt of gifts

I have purchased washing machine H70 of Whirlpool India ltd. from their online shopping store "Online deals.com". As per the advertisement given on the online deals it was assured that the customers purchasing washing machine through online deals will be in given free gifts worth 1495 of Trendz dinner set and a scratch card including the bumper prize. I purchased the said washing machine and it was delivered to me on 22nd of October 2007 but without any gifts. After some days I approached the online deals through their telephone no as given by them and as well via E-mail . Firstly they did not respond to my calls and finally the no. was kept engaged. After further pursuation and lodging a complaint in the complaint box of the Whirlpool , an email was received by my wherein I was assured that the gifts will be delivered to me within 3-5 days. Besides the customer executive also talked on phone with me as well as with my wife, assuring that the gifts will be delivered. After some time, a letter along with a scratch card was sent to me wherein they intimated that all other gifts will be sent to you within days. But till date more than one and half month has elapsed and nothing of any sort has come from them except that of scratch card. I once again tried to call them on phone, but nobody responded on the phone. This is utter cheating of the customers by luring them to buy online and promising free gifts with the products. I want to bring this fact to the notice of all the people as well as to the concerned authorities in the whirlpool India ltd. so that I am given the due gifts that they promised to give with the products.

Hoping for early response

Whirlpool scam by a&e!!

Technician#0002295 Is sent to my home via "Whirlpool Co"[protected]), following a report by me that my 15 month old dishwasher does not release the soap from the dispenser at any point in the total running cycle of the machine.
He looks at the dishwasher, tells me that the utensil basket can not actually be placed on the lower basket(where it was placed by the installer), because it must be blocking the door of the dispenser. When , in fact, there is appr. 5" of space between the two~~making that impossible! While making a personal phone call~~discussing where he will be spending 'Thanksgiving", he writes up a bill for $122.00, stating that $65.00 was for the service call and $57.00 was for "customer education"! When I questioned the $57.00,his response to me was "response was to tell me was "call Whirlpool and tell them that their product is malfunctioning". NO REPAIRS WERE MADE, NOTHING WAS REPLACED! I have contacted A&E 3 seperate times(11/20Alyssa-rude and uninformed, 11/26 Elena a promise of a return call by supervisor, and 11/30 Melanie another promise of a return call). When I contacted Whirlpool their response was that they have "no control" over what A&E does and that their product is "totally functional". Meanwhile I have a dishwasher here which isn't functioning!
What kind of scam is going on with A&E and Whirlpool?! This product was purchased at Best Buy~~are they in on this , too?!?

I agree. I waited all day for an A&E repairman, and he finally showed up at 5:30 pm. Same thing. He didn't even look into my dishwasher, just listened to it and said I need a new motor. Charged me $65 and suggested I buy a new dishwasher for less than the cost of the new motor.

He carried a tool box, just to "look like" a repairman. I think it's all a scam.

I wish someone would go back to making "simple" dishwashers without all the bells and whistles we don't need that just break. My grandmother's dishwasher lasted over 30 years -- how come we can't buy products like this anymore?

Whirlpool washing machine of no use

Dear Sir/Madam,

We have purchased Whirlpool Model F/A W/M H-65 washing machine in the name of Gnana Guru Raja on 19/10/2006. Serial No. INB063502073, Model No. 7230, date of Mfg. 29 AUG 2006.

For the last 5 months there is serious problem in the machine and 10 times we had informed to the customer care no. [protected] and they have sent a technical person MR. Parmesh.

But the problems still not been rectified and the machine is not been used for the last 25 days.

The actual problem is under the machine there is a water leakage, the dryer is not working properly and there is a big noice when the machine is started washing.

We would like to bring to your notice that this is a very serious problem, either the problem has to be rectified permanently or the unit has to be replaced for new.

We were trying to reach the managers Mr. Jeyaraj and Mr. Lakshmanan - Bangalore,
but they are not at all anserwing the call, its always ringing.

I request you to kindly take action against the poor response and find a solution otherwise we also don't have a choice.

If there is no response from your end then we don't have a choice i will have to take a legal action nor go to the media.

Please understand the seriousnous and do the needful as early as possible.

Regards.

Whirlpool faulty washing machine!

We purchased a Whirlpool washing machine from Curry's with a warranty in case of faults within one year. After 10 months the thing rattled and squeaked so we called the customer complaints department. An engineer came out after a week to fix the problem or so we thought but the engineer banged hell out the machine to replace the faulty part. He even put sealant somewhere and said do not use it for several days. He also said he had a lot of problems to sort out with these machines as they had a faulty part.After several days we started the machine up and there was water all over the kitchen floor. We called Whirlpool again and repeated that the engineer said there were lots of problems with the machine but they said they did not know what he talking about as they did not have any faulty machines.

He came to fix it again throwing his tools on the floor in obvious temper and frustration and left again with the same remark do not use it for several days. This we did even left it longer to switch on again. Wow! Water all over the floor again. We had many calls to Whirlpool and they said it is Currys that have your money not us. We said in reply but they are your distributors and they purchased it off you.All went quiet and they said they would not give us a new machine.

The engineer is returning now with a complete new drum but we have lost confidence in Whirlpooland will advise all who ask not to purchase one. As soon as customer service knew we were very annoyed they clammed up and said very little obviously in case of legal redress which we may very well do. Whirlpool are a nightmare in our opinion and spend more on service engineer visits than the machine cost. We have waited three weeks without a washing machine and they care very little in our opinion.

I bought a washing machine of Whirlpool Splash 5 kg fully automatic on 16th February 2017. It stopped funcitioning on 24th March 2017.

I am awaiting with patient to get it repaired. I contact daily the call center, branch service and the dealer. The response is that " we would definitely do it today". But much waters have flown since then the day has not come.

Let this be a caution to those who are going for Whirlpool

I have been waiting over one month to have my washing machine serviced. Wrong parts were ordered, 2 technicians cancelled service appointments, will not schedule appointment any earlier that 2 weeks out, are not cooperative and are liars. This is my fourth serious issue with Sears. This company should not be able to be in business, and at the very least should not be able to represent themselves with good customer service.

The company is not cooperative and would not let me speak to anyone else that may have more authority.

I recently purchase a high efficiencty Whhirlpool Washer over the internet. I was not fully apraised of the operation and I am very unhappy with it.

It is not possible to determine how much water the machine uses. For this reason it is impossible to correctly apportion the correct quantites of soap, bleach, or other additives. It is even impossible to determine how much water the machine adds during any time of the operation.

My liquid soap cup can not be washed out with washer water because the lid locks and hence it runs down the side of the soap container.

I wish I had been informed of this before I purchased, and well, I wish that I never purchased it at all.

As anyone knows it is impossible to discuss this with Whirlpool. But maybe there is nothing they could do anyway.

We have bough the Whirlpool washing machine in 2017 and it is having some problem. I have registered a complain with Bangalore Karnataka India.Service center 10 days back and nobody has attended the complain. Complain No(Call No): 2701.

One technician called Shabari ([protected]) from service center called up and with him I was enquiring about the timings they work and when is he going to come he behaved in a very rude way. He just doesn't have decency, He doesn't't know how to talk to the customer and I don't understand How such people are working with world class company like Whirlpool.. Almost everyday I call them up and they say they will be sending the technician today. Everyday I go home early from office and nobody has turned up till today.

Can you please look into this problem.

Thanking you and happy day.

I had purchased a fully automatic washing machine in Y2017 from the said company at Baroda, Gujarat. I have always noted that the after sales service of this company is PATHETIC! I had recently lodged a complaint on 17/Nov'07 regarding the machine not working and called up the online service call number to be logged onto a customer service representative (CSR). The CSR categorically took my complaint and assured of an engineer visiting my residence in 48 hrs after 1900 hrs (the time I indicated as the preferred one!) since my home would be locked during the daytime. After 48 hrs I called up again on not seeing any engineer visiting me and got logged onto another CSR to whom I gave the complaint number, however had to explain all details like name, location, machine, problem etc... again and she assured a 24 hrs response time.

Needless to say this saga has continued until today (21/nov) and when I called up the service station now and got a NEW CSR (as usual!) I was informed that the engineer came by MISTAKE at 1400 hrs instead of the 1900 hrs that I had specifically indicated (There was however no evidence at my residence that the said engineer had actually come! I even checked up with my building security). Now the CSR asked me to lodge a NEW complaint and I had to relentlessly provide all details again. The response I get was amazing, the CSR said "Your complaint would be attended in 48 hrs".
It is true that a company's reputation can be judged by the service it offers it's customers once the product is sold to them. I would strongly recommend people reading this note, pl not to buy any WHIRLPOOL goods. Now I realize that the name of the company is actually symbolic of where their customers would land up if they avail "after sales service"!

My washing machine is under warranty period & I had complained regarding my washing machine on 01 Oct 2017 vide my telephone no.[protected] but till date my complain is not resolved. In this connection I contacted customer care a number of times but it was useless and hence this email to you.

Pls note I had contacted Mr Saroj, Whirlpool Kolkata office employee, a number of times but his commitment was not fulfilled any time.
Pls note I have written a number of times regarding my earler complains but I have not received any reply. Is this the quality of service from WHIRLPOOL.

I have purchased Whirlpool washing machine from Uttam Sales, Jamshedpur, Jharkhand about 3 years back. Two-three years back it stopped working. I log complaint to Magic Service Point (supposed to be authorized service center in Jamshedpur). They checked WM and told that its PCB is gone bad. I spent about Rs.3000/- and get PCB replaced. After few days, WM again given some problem. This time they first told that valve is gone bad and require replacement. But valve was out of stock, so it took more than one month to attend complain after giving several reminders. Now, they are telling that valve as well as PCB are gone bad.

Firstly, I want to tell that Whirlpool WM so unreliable that its PCB is damaged in few years. And again repeated in few days. Poor washing machine!

i had bought a whirlpool washing machine(model.no fsah-651cr) on31/12/2017 from a whirlpool dealer in noida sector 18(rhythm house). from the very beginning the machine is giving us problems. it was not functioning properly.the engineer from the service centre had to change the mother board within a month.then after about 6 months, yesterday, the machine suddenly stopped midway with the tub full with water. when i had put in the complaint with the call centre, (complaint no.gb0709009091)they promised me to send the engineer between 4 and 6 p.m. but neither the engineer had turned up, nor was there any information from their side, though, the call centre and the service centre kept telling that the engineer would definitely visit .
it is more than 24 hours now that my new washing machine is full with water and still, whenever i am calling the concerned people, they are assuring me that it will get rectified today itself. and i am still waiting for the engineer to come, with all my pending works keeping still pending.
i will definitely never buy a whirlpool product in the future, and would decuede people to buy it, if my problem is not solved once and for all. i had asked the dealer and whirlpool when i had faced my initial problem, to get the machine replaced.they never bothereed to take it seriously.

Whirlpool fridge door broken

We bought whirlpool 310 double door refrigerator in Jan 2007 and after buying it we observed that the fridge is not working. After some persuasion the technician came and said that there is no gas and it has to be refilled. I don't know how come the new fridge had this problem.

Recently (in november) one day my wife opened the fridge door (the main compartment door) and surprisingly the entire door came out. The hinges on which it was moving broke. I was shocked to see this as this is the first time i saw this kind of problem.

Now i want to get my fridge replaced but nobody is listening. i think the product is not up to the mark.

Whirlpool of India Limited,

Sub: Replacement of Broken Freezer Base – Iceberg Elite, (Purchase date 15 / 05 / 08)
Ref: Complaints LK/C/05-08/19504 and LK [protected], dated 05 / 01 / 09

D’ Sir,
I wish to bring to your notice that:

• Ice – scaling was observed at the freezer compartment floor corrugations last summer- AUG’ 2008 and reported to customer care.
• Due to condensation, the coil behind becomes thickly frosted. It is presumed, during power failures, on melting, WATER, trickles from behind the back panel at the floor and settles of the corrugation channels of the freezer. This, freezes soon on resumption of power and operation of the fridge.
• The service engineer upon examination had opened the back panel and comprehensively TAPED the base; behind the face-panel- Aug /Sep ’08 – This did not solve the problem.

• A FRESH COMPLAINT WAS LODGED. THE SAME SERVICE ENGINEER REPORTED FOR INSPECTION ON 05 / 01 / 09
• However, this time exess cooling and broken freezer base has been reported, without a second look behind the panel. The engineer recollected the features of the problem and made a few verbal queries assuring us that the replacement of the broken part shall soon be made.

I wonder why taping was resorted to as a makeshift / temporary service delivery at the first instance. Whirlpool definitely would not recommend clumsy service delivery to superficially pacify unknowledgeable consumers.

• Several reminders have been made during the past month to your service call center, each time assurance is given that the redressal shall be made within the week / 24 Hrs. – but to no avail.

I request you to please look into the matter so that whatever is needed to be done is complied soon so that I may have sufficient time to convince myself that the defect is rectified within the one year comprehensive guarantee period. Hope you’ll oblige.

Thanking you,
Yours truly,

Samir Kumar Chakravorty.

I have an identical problem! I was surprised such things happen! I bought the same 310 double door "Ice Magic" model in October 2006. Exactly after the one -year warranty expiration time, it stopped cooling, and some condenser had to be replaced. One month later, I opened the door and it came broken off: the metal hinge rod was broken! After complaining repeatedly for oneweek the service mancame and replaced the hinge and we will wait for the next thing to go wrong in a month's time!

This product is definitely of very poor manufacturing quality!

Whirlpool no demo, no installation, only assurances

Purchased machine from Digital Shoppie, Habsiguda, Hyderabad on 7th Nov. Assured demo and installation on 9th. No body turned up even after repeated requests to the Dealer and to the Company Service Centre(Nos. [protected] and [protected]). Talked to one Mahesh. Only assurances and no action. We were told not to install our own as that would make us ineligible for warranty benefits. We are trapped. Machine lying packed at our home.

Whirlpool cheating of consumers!

I bought a Whirlpool Washing Machine on 17.10.2007 through the company's online deals which promised to give free gifts, if the company's product was brought through online deals. I purchased the washing machine by using my credit card. The product was delivered to me on 22.10.2007 but without any free gifts. I brought this to the notice of the company as well as to the Online deals.com but no response was received from them.Even I called them by phone, but they never cared to give any response. By advertising on the net, they are just cheating the consumers.

I bought whirlpool fridge 350 litrs symphony white ch .no. jc4441386 on fifth november 2004. With in one year its module goes defective and was replaced because it was under warranty.Now again the same module got defective. Now i have paid rupees 2503 and it is replased. Since i am an engineer and think the problem is with the poor quality of module and its components. There is no question of voltage fluctions. If we have to replace this module every year and spend so much money on this then i will ask all my friends not to buy this fridge. The service contract is too high.pl comments and look into the matter my mobile no is [protected] and permanent custmer identification no is 4783191. Thanks.

Whirlpool fridge not working!

I made a very expensive mistake by buying a 400 lit double door refrigerator and from that time it was the end of my "Peace of Mind” which is your punchline!Since July 2017 when the fridge was bought I have had to call the service centre t least 10 times. in this brief period the compressor has been changed, some other part has been changed twice , I have had to buy an AMC and also buy a stabilizer as I was advised by your technician that Whirlpool refrigerator does not function well without it! Something unfortunately the salesperson did not inform at the time of selling this terrible product. It is surely the worst piece of machinery ever produced and I assure you it will not help your cause to have expensive film stars do a dance on TV to sell your products when your customers are going to tell as many people they can about how bad this product is. Anyway as on 1st Nov the fridge is not working again and in spite of logging the complaint early in the morning no one has bothered to show up till 3 p.m.I had also requested to speak to a senior person regarding this as I have already spent Rs.10000 on various and each time the fridge stops working I have to throw away all the stuff from the fridge! Can someone tell me who is going to pay? I think I should go to a consumer court.

Refrigerator bought at end of June is still on warranty, so I called for assistance. Interior of refer department and frozen section were filled with ice. First technician, who arrived around 7 pm for a 1-5 appointment diagnosed leak in sealer. Silicon caulked. Incorrect diagnosis. Called again, new service set up. Now diagnozed needed new sealer. Sealer ordered by technician. When it arrived I had to set up a third appointment. Now on November 30, when I called to remind the operator who sets up appointments, I was told I was not on the list for that day. New appointment for December 5 for 1-5 o'clock appointment. Received call at 3 pm stating technician would be there within an hour. Nobody had arrived by 7 pm. No more information. New set up for December 11. Call at 10 am. I had been assured because of earlier mess ups that I would be first in the morning, i.e. around 8 am - some of us customers believe we also have a life.

New Technician arrives at 10.30 and states nothing wrong with sealer. Problem is defrost timer. Luckily he has a timer, and with my help we struggle through the instructions on how to connect replacement timer. He defrosts refrigerator, is courteous and intelligent, and knows his stuff. Not true with previous technician, who clearly needed a lot of training.

How many hours have I had to wait, call to find out when I would receive service etc. By now about 25 hours of frustration. If this is the way of the future I will not buy any more American labeled appliances for my apartment buildings.

The scheduling system for this company STINKS.

First and foremost, the call center will action the complaint only after 48 hrs of the same being registered! Inspite of informing them the nature of complaint the service person lands up 72 hrs later with out the spare. The complaint was registered on 10May and till date a simple control nob has not been replaced. The local service manager in Bangalore is not available and the acting mgr has barred all incoming calls! As informed by the service person, models keeping changing every year and we need to keep up with that trend. You mean to say that the spares for a product purchased in 2017 would not be available?

I am unable to comprehend the companies attitude. Any suggestions?

Hassled consumer.

I bought a double door whirlpool refrigerator (ice-magic 310 litres)
From a dealer in laxmi nagar, new delhi, in january 2017.

It has a warranty on compressors, which is valid for 05 years.

This january (2017), the compressor conked off, so they replaced with a new one (but charged me for gas filling & timer & relay)...in march, it again showed faulty functioning...in may whilpool enginners carried on a gas re-filling on my expense, but the fault could still not be completely rectified, as the cooling was not proper...in june they again suggested de-chocking of capillary tubes & a gas re-filling, which was done on my expense...!

Now in september, the company carried the refrigerator to their workshop, for repeating the de-choking process & gas - refilling + a relay etc replacement (at my cost)...in the workshop they also discovered that the compressor was not fucntioning properly, so again a new compressor was also provided... all this on 22nd. september, 2017.

... the funcyioning is still not proper, and now the engineer says that the thermostat will require replacement...!

That is the standard of products being dished out by whirlpool - use for 3-4 years (or till a problem does not crop up, then throw it off... and buy a new one, for sure)

My Whirlpool refrigerator conked off on thursday 24th of September 2017. We made a complaint to the call centre and were assured that an engineer will come home the next day to check the fridge.

The engineer did come home the next day. He checked the refrigerator and informed us that the compressor is blown and that the fan will need to be replaced and gas refilled.

We were assured that this will be taken care off on the coming Monday inspite of it being Dasshera. On Monday, no one turned up.

We informed the call centre and were assured that the complaint will be taken care off on Tuesday. No one turned up on Tuesday too.

We called the Call centre and asked to speak to the manager. We were informed that it is against company policy to disclose the name of the manager. So we spoke to a supervisor by the name of Dharmesh who very confidently guarnateed, I repeat guarnateed, that the fridge will be repaired on Wednesday.

We waited till late Wednesday, all the time calling the call centre to inform them that the engineer had not yet called up. Ultimately in desperation I called and asked to speak to Dharmesh. After making me hold the line for 10 minutes he comes online and LIES to me that the engineer is on his way. When we still did not recieve a call till around 7.30 PM I again called the CC and asked for Dharmesh. This time around I was informed that he had left the office.

I asked to speak to the supervisor on the floor. I was informed that one Naina will be calling me.

Today is Thursday, I still have a broken fridge with no engineers visit.

As of today, not a single Whirlpool appliance will ever enter my house for the rest of my life.

The cost for the service was very expensive, the technician was only at my home for 1/2 hour, it was only a clogged water line. No parts were used. Icalled to question the outragous charge and the owner of the company was very rude and would not reduce the charge.

Did they fix it for you? Did they tell you how much it would cost you beforehand? then you have no gripe. Everything is expensive nowadays. Look at a loaf of bread $4.00. Its nuts. But you never mentioned the quality of their service. That is after all what you hired them for isn't it? Do you negotiate the price of a car after you buy it and think you paid too much? never. And your complaint is based on the fact that this company didnt reduce their bill?
Grow up.

Sir,

I had purchased Whirlpool Ice Berg on 15/5/2017.

Since then due to several problems your co. has changed the fridge 3 times.

On one side we thank you for 3 replacements but on the other we underwent terrible mental pressure.

Now even the 3rd. fridge isnt working well, aprox. since last 30 days. The sensor was replaced then within a couple of days we were told that the thermostat needs to be replaced.But as of dt. no action taken.Sir we are LITTERALLY BEGGING to your service people but of no use.

Whirlpool a co. of high stds. should it's customers be treated like this.

I would be very happy if you could HELP us in this issue

Whirlpool calypso washing machine

I bought a whirpool washing machine for $1200.00 six years ago. I also bought an extended warrenty covering the machine for five years. I have had nothing but trouble out of the machine the entire time I have had it. Every six months to a year the machine had to be fixed due to a defect in the design. The machine allowed lint from clothes to get into the motor and burn the motor up. Everytime this happened the extended warrenty fixed the machine. Now the warrenty is out on the machine and whirlpool refuses to take care of the situation. I paid whirlpool $1200 for a machine thinking that I was buying a high quality product that would last 12 to 15 years. Whirlpool insist that because it is not within their specified warrenty period they have no legal obligation to me. I am a single mother of three children and a full time nursing student. I do not have the funds to replace the machine at this time. I have been placed in a very difficult situation and all whirlpool cares about is their legal obligation to me. They have acknowledged that the problem is in their design but will not take care of me, their customer. I also bought a dishwasher from them that the electronic panal went out on the first year and a dryer that the motor burned up after I had it for 15 months. Both of those items were still covered by the warrenty but I am very upset to have had the problems in the first place. I paid more money for whirlpool products than I would have else where thinking I was buying quality and customer service. I was mistaken in both of my assumptions. I will never buy a whirlpool product again and I would advise anyone looking for quality products with a company they can depend on to avoid whirlpool products. Renee Pittman, Texas

For last 3 months I have been calling the company consistently since the water trey is broken, every time I am told it will be done in next 2-3 days.

3 months [censored]... what have I paid AMC charges for?

INDIA, the lax country...no system in place..if there is system no one is following it.

I SPENT IN TOTAL OVE $800 FOR 3 YEARS OF WARRANTY ON BOTH ITEMS. IN LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AFTER BUYING THE EXTENDEDWARRANTIES BOTH WENT OUT, THE DRYER HEATING ELEMENT AND THE WASHER BEARINGS. MY APPLIANCES SHOULD RUN LIKE NEW BUT NOW WHIRLPOOL WILL NOT HONOR MY SERVICE AGREEMENTS AND I HAVE HAD NO WASHER OR DRYER SINCE MAY 1. WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW? CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY A NEW ONE?

Hi
I purchased a whirlpool washing machine white magic FSAN652 on 17-10-2008. All of a sudden, from yesterday onwards it started giving trouble.The moment I switch on the power only agitator spins that too only in one direction.When I phoned to customer service they told that it is PCB problem.Not even one year is over from the date of purchase.This clearly indicates that the testing wing of WHIRLPOOL is pathetic.Out of so many tests can't they even choose the high temperature and vibration test to improve their product quality.It is a shame to the so called design wing and shame to whirlpool.

Nearly for 15 days we are waiting for your service end to rectify the problem. After contacting several times we are fed up and we finally registering the complaint thro' this email.

Whirlpool problem persists after multiple repair calls

Our brand new Whirlpool top-loading washer (model WTW5800STW0) was defective as soon as it was installed. The warranty repair was made (after a 2-week delay) and the same problem persists. Multiple calls and the problem is still not resolved. Whirlpool needs to improve its quality control in the factory so new machines are not shipped with defects. Barring that, they need to train their warranty repair staff better so they can fix the problems the factory does not catch.

Beware people!

we have had nothing but problems with our washer. Just two weeks ago, we were told the 2.5 year old washer would cost $975 to repair because the bearings went out. When in use it sounds like a jet plane landing, when in the spin cycle. I would highly recommend not buying this product.

Whirlpool vibration problem!

My Whirlpool washing machine model H-65 is a top loading fully automatic machine which is a sleek good looking Golden color master piece and works fine all the time EXCEPT around 7 mins on the digital display remaining suddenly it will start vibrating like as if there is some earthquake. Two customer calls from the company resulted in buying another sleek troley from Whirlpool but problem remains the same.

Now it is everyday affair that somebody has to wait for this earthquake and then run towards the machine to close the wash cycle at premature stage and again start spin cycle. So all that look good and sleek may not necessarily perform as well (may be problem with my piece as every piece has its own resonance frequency).

I have the same problem with two machines purchased from whirlpool. One is the tvs whirlpool first model launched in india and the second one is the f-65 . we used the first one for 12 years with the earthquakes and decided to buy another whirlpool being assured by the company that the this problem was rectified. GUESS WHAT both of them vibrate (the machines actually toss themselves around) and now they are lying in my garage and i have sworn not to buy whirlpool products. Every time the service guys came they give the excuse of uneven load in the drum and say the bearings must be damaged and take the washing machine slap a bill on me.

Whirlpool does not work

This is the third complaint I have made on line... I made one call in oct 06 on this dehumidifier. It has not worked from the first day. I returned it to store and they pointed out to me that I needed to deal with whirlpool... I attempted this on the 800 number and got no satisfaction. I then purchased a new one which has worked in just the right manner. I have now ontacted you in the only manner that I know and that is as a complaint. I misquoted the the price, stati ng $236. Plus tax. I now believe it was $239.00 plus tax, as I have just purchased another one at that price. My paper work says 10-06... I expect a refund of the purchase price as I need to purchase another one today. I am putting these in rental properties and also in my sons home. What can I do to receive satisfaction? (3 requests) I cannot ignore this expense and forget it. It is just too much money. I have the box it came in as it has just been sitting there. I can ship to whatever address, at your cost, that you wish...

Called 800 number on appliance and was told basically that it did work. I have not been able to use at all and had to purchase a new one. I have it in original box and purchased at Lowes of Elizabethtown, Ky. I still would like this to work but it does not. I plug it in and it run for a short time then emits a smell of overheating and shuts off in just a few minutes. Has not yet dehumidified at all...No moisture has been collected. I am not interested buying parts and trying to repair this unit. I would like to ship to Whirl pool at their cost and receive the $239.00 plus 6% tax back to pay for the cost of purchasing an identical one. M. H. Boone, PO Box 702, Elizabethtown, Ky. 42701.

Whirlpool poor service!

We bought a Whirlpool washing machine (6th sense, h65 model) on September 1, 2007 and after continuous call the service person came for demo only on 6th of September. The washing machine was found defective. Some E3 problem came and they said they will replace the spare part. We have invested Rs.2000/- more for this stain wash and we are not able to use stain wash. We really regret for having purchased the whirlpool washing machine. We were fed up calling the call center people and SAI SUMUKHA SERVICES (authorized service partner of whirlpool), malleswaram. How long will it take for these people to get a spare part. They were eager to sell some spare items like stand, cover, extra tube.etc., for money, but not willing to replace the defective part. Is this a punishment for having purchased whirlpool washing machine? If these situation continuous, nobody will buy Whirlpool products. Customer are not fools.

I own a fully automatic Whirlpool washing machine. I have taken the whirlpool home care plan for the maintenance of this appliance for 24 months from 10/11/2008 by paying Rs 4000/-(Application Receipt No 129504. The following complaints are registered for your immediate attention.
1)Whenever there is a complaint to the machine, the agents take a long time to attend to the complaint.. resulting in nonavailability of the appliance for use inspite of the maintenance contract.
2) Even after attending to the maintenance, the appliance again shows some part of the old complaint with some others again resulting non availabilty of the machine.
3) After two to three attendance at home for the maintenance, they require to take it to their workshop and they charge big sums for conveyance.
4) Recently, from three months back, the complaint of non storage of water during working of the machine was noticed and complaint registered. Even though they attended (though belatedly, every time, ) the same complaint is repeated after a short time of one or two days after repair. Still, the same complaint along with beep sounds and non working of rinse, spin etc are continuing, they told us that the machine is to be taken to their workshop. even after four to five days of this report they did not turn up to take the machine. Then due to the urgent needs for the appliance, we transported it to their workshop on 11/9/2010. they promised to deliver it back on 14/9/2010.On contacting on 15/9/2010 they promised to deliver it on 16/9/2010. Again on 16/9/10 they postponed it to 17/9/2010 morning. On 17/9/2010 again on contacting them, it was informed that they will tell the position after 4'o'clock. But there was no information at 4'o'clock or later.Next day, again they were contacted and I was requested to contact the workshop supervisor on his mobile after 12 o' clock . On trying to contact his mobile no, several times, the call was not attended by him. Finally, I reached the service centre driving my car 10 km from my house at Mannanthala at 4.30 pm, and enquired about it they have raised the adamant stand that as they have lot of customers, what they could do is to give the mobile no of the workshop supervisor. Again they have postponed the delivery by two more days.the appliance is not ready till date of this complaint(19/9/2010)
We are cheated by the promises made by the home care plans to the keep the appliance in working condition for a duration of 24 months. During the above period we have been continuously cheated by purposefully prolonging the service time and not properly repairing it each time, most of the time we were left without the services of the appliance. Also after owning the appliance and the home care plan, in addition to doing the washing manually, we had to go behind the hassles of continued reporting complaints, going behind these service persons, hearing their retorts, trying repeatedly the unattended mobile nos, etc in our busy schedule of life. The very purpose of having a home care plan is defeated.
The contact address of the service centre is " Hi tech Solutions", TC14/1733, Near Ganapathy Coil, Vazhuthacaud, Trivandrum-14
Nos I have contacted are [protected], [protected], [protected], [protected]

I have purchased a washing machine from the distributor of the comapny at Amritsar on calling for the first servicing the story of the poor performance of the company distributor & service agents open in front of me.

The products the company send for replacement is look as they are taken out from old machines. There is no packing on the part & even the part is not complete.

The company after lodging complaint send the service agent after a week. The service agents come to just merely solve the complaints and not to guide customer properly to take care while using machine. The nos. printed on the bills provided by the distributor are wrong and no one pick up the phones if one or two nos. are right. Also the nos. they give for lodging complaint are of Delhi while the person is purchasing machine from Amritsar. The nos. of customer service centers in the local station are wrong or remains busy.

I suggest all of the customers to wash clothes with your own hands & not to buy any machine from Whirlpool Company.

Whirlpool dehumidifier does not work properly

I have used several dehumidifiers in different locations over the last 20 years, to keep basements and garages dry. I am using three now. I always buy whirlpool brand. Usually the largest unit they have holding the most water. I have two sitting side by side in a garage now. The first does not work properly, lighting up and coming on for a few seconds or perhaps a min and half. Then it smells like over heated and cuts off. The second one that I bought to replace the first sitting just beside works like a top. Pulling about a bucket full of water ever day or so. My name is M. H. Boone in Elizabethtown, Ky. I have called the 800 number on the unit and pretty much was told that I did not know how a dehumidifier works nor how to operate one. I do not want to order parts. I want the $236. plus tax returned and I will ship this unit to Whirlpool at their cost. I have received no use out of this investment... I cannot return it to the store as the unit says that I must deal with Whirlpool...
