THIS IS ALL BULLSHIT. NO AWARDS DESERVED FOR THE WAY YOU HANDLE SERVICE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER INDIA. I WILL ADVISE ANYONE EVER AGAIN AGAINST BUYING WHIRLPOOL PRODUCTS OF ANY KIND. SMALL OR BIG.

I am a very frustrated owner of the fully automatic washing machine which completed its 2 year warranty. The steel drum of the front loading Sensation classic, is not working. had complained SIX weeks or more, ago. SR no. BG 0810017947 dated 30.08.10. your service manager, Mr. Peter, CELLNO> 9243578001 is now refusing to attend to my calls as he has got frustrated himself about the non availability of the DRUM and has run out of stories to tell me. The service engg. is ready to buy the NOT WORKING MACHINE..ASLAM BABU 9844889920. and advises me to sell it off to him and buy a new machine. I would like to take this to TIMES OF INDIA AND CAUTION PEOPLE AGAINST BUYING ANY WHIRLPOOL APPLIANCES ESPLY THIS FESTIVE SEASON. HAPPINESS GUARANTEED IS WHAT U ADVERTISE. WHO R U TRYING TO FOOL . THE CONSUMER?? I CAN EVEN GO TO THE CONSUMER FORUM AND FILE A CASE OF TORMENT AND TRAUMA. i am just writing and hoping the md or senior executives of this company take some serious action and ensure proper after sales service before selling any whirlpool appliances. i am also trying to write to whirlpool america and blow this up worldwide so that the india management is thrown out on its backside . TOTALLY DISGUSTING.
Now with all this, one can clearly understand what " A Customer means to Whirlpool". This is what whirlpool teaches it's service centers and it's engineers to behave with their customers. They don't respond well, they don't follow up, they don't keep their customers well informed. THE WASHING MC IS LYING USELESS SINCE LAST WEEKS. WHY DONT THEY SEND THEIR SALES PERSONS TO DO WASHING OF CLOTHES AT FURSTRATED CUSTOMERS PLACES. I HOPE WHIRLPOOL SHUTS DOWN OPERATIONS IN INDIA.
Hoping the above complaint is taken seriously and is dealt with the same seriousness. Please protect the Indian customers from such defaulting companies,
