After installation on 15/03/2023 in his new Flat it was not on use till 17/06/2023 as the Flat was not ready but on 17/06/2023 when the Complainant started the refrigerator it was not cooling perfectly though the Compressor of the refrigerator ran the entire day without any pause.
The Complainant reported such unusual manifestation of the refrigerator to the Whirlpool Customer Centre on 18/06/2023 and on 06/07/2023 one technician on behalf of the Company visited the house of the Complainant and refilled the gas in the refrigerator Compressor after obtaining signature of the Complainant on the Job Card.
Still the refrigerator was not properly functioning and instead of cooling the refrigerator had the heating effect and the problem was reported but the technician could solve the problem by some patch-work. After five months the refrigerator again started abnormal cooling and when contacted the Company the technician recharged the gas in the Compressor of the refrigerator with the remark that there may be leakage in the Compressor which could not be detected and two months thereafter the refrigerator started to yield the same problem and the Complainant registered his complaint on 18/04/2024 to which the Whirlpool Distributor responded by email on11/05/2024
with the assurance to replace the refrigerator on charging minimal replacement cost of Rs.11,093/-.
