DEFY - GAME POOR SERVICE

I purchased a Defy refrigerator from Game liberty Mall in February 2024.

I previously had an issue with the thermometer which has replaced at the end of August 2024.

The refrigerator is now over freezing and leaking water to which I inform Defy and Game.

I requested for them to replace the refrigerator instead of fixing it however they are refusing and wanting to fix it again despite the refrigerator been under warranty and less than a year old.

This has become highly fustrating and poor services. I will be reporting to the consumer ombudsman.

I would not recommend buying Defy ever again.

Good day

Please note I didn't ask for a repair but to replace the refrigerator.

I just spoke to a lady from my work place and she has a Defy appliances which was replaced. She also does not have great things to say about Defy.

Please explain what type of quality is this, from the thermometer to now the fridge door all less than a year old and it's a brand new refrigerator. Absolutely terrible.

I will be reporting this to the consumer ombudsman. If this is the case please return my money and take your defective product back.

It seems now days consumers need to be nasty in order to receive proper service.

I have contacted Defy three times in the last hour. Each person told me they are escalating the matter.

The last call was with a lady named Siya ***) who told me she will have her manager contact me because she has escalated the matter.

It's now 9:34 let's see how long Defy takes respond to my query.

The door was repaired yesterday and still isn't working.

Pathetic!

Yet again I find myself having to comment on Hellopeter.

The thermometer has giving up again. Defy wants to repair it again.

I lodged a complaint with Game on the 3 December and a technician from Defy came on the 5th December to which he informed me the thermometer is broken once again..

My food has been going off and nobody from Defy has contacted me.

Honestly the most pathetic customer service from Defy.. I regret my purchase. I am still waiting to hear from Defy.
