Bad service

Morning i am a pensioner i who whose been fooled and played by 2 big companies 19 December 2024 i bought a Defy water despenser fridge at Fair price 48 Pritchard street, car Rissik street Johannesburg CBD Gauteng for R 6000 i paid cash exclusive the delivery fee i paid R250. Their guarantee is 2 years then April i noticed the fridge has a problem it freeze on top but the freezer is at the bottom but with this everything i put on top freeze, then June 5th i went to report the matter then i was assisted by Lucky he gave me his number and the defy number. Then they sent a technician that came and change the botton that ables to adjust the fridge temperature and left. But it encountered the same problem then i went back to the shop it still do the same thing, when ever i go there i take public transport as i can not walk to town they sent another technician again on the 7 of August 2025 when he comes he claim there is nothing wrong with the fridge, he shift it left and right i told him how come he claim he has it fixed yet it's still freezing we had an argument cause just shifting it and claim its going tobe ok that's not i expectedas i am the one sufferingif the fridge i paid to keep my food and last long but now things get spoiled , he asked me to sign papers that he fixed the fridge i refused asked for his name he refused and gave me his contact number ***. But same thing continues on the 8th August i went back to the shop i got assisted by a shop manager he called Defy then the Defy told him they should rather replace the fridge or send the manager to come and check the fridge then i will get a new one, I came back on the 15th i went back again i found lucky who sold the fridge to as their sales representative, he promised to report to the manager then I went back home. 18th of August 2025 i received a call from Fair price manager that he is confused the matter is out of his hands because he contacted Defy and told him I as a customer i am happy my fridge is fixed, what makes me furious i struggle with what i paid for guarantee is still on I'm going up and down nothing is fixed but being ****,i want my money back or they should take their fridge and bring the new one i am tired please help as a pensioner and old woman,if the matter is out of the shop manager's hand i thank you.

Good day Agnes, 
Defy will, at its sole discretion, choose to repair, replace, or refund a unit in accordance with your warranty terms and conditions. This decision is based on the findings and report from the technician’s inspection.
Kindly note that we are unable to provide further advice or assistance unless our technician is able to inspect the unit.

According to warranty terms and conditions it's still on as it's for 2 years and i bought it 2024 December 19th, technicians have been sent several times with no help. Can you fix this matter at hand how cause I trusted defy as it is a reputable business, that's why I'm this disappointed at your service delivery right now. I'm a pensione and I'm suffering right under your watch.
