Poor service and quality

The after purchase service from Defy is pathetic. We bought 2 Fridge/Freezer units Nov 2023. From day one, one of the units was faulty where the fridge section kept on freezing food and liquids even on the lowest setting. A technician came out to replace the thermostat ,but that did not work. It took 4 months to resolve this when they eventually replaced the unit. Last week, first week of Nov 2024 opening a freezer drawer the front came apart from the rest of the drawer. 4 slots in the drawer with very thin plastic bulging out is suppose to hold the clear front panel in place. I removed other drawers and they have similar defects. I informed the store where we bought the units from and they came back to me saying Defy will not be replacing the defective drawer/s which is still under warrantee and that we will have to buy replacements. DON'T SUPPORT DEFY.

Reviewer Update
The documentation supp**** with the unit nowhere specifies under chapter 10 - Warranty(page29) the term "accessories" nor does it specify that the freezer drawers are considered as an "accessory". The only items in this warranty labelled as excluded from the warranty is Vitreous enamelware,fuses and lamps. It seems to me that DEFY will make up any excuse to get out of replacing defective parts. Unfortunately this platform does not allow me to upload an image of the documentation supp**** with the unit when posting a reply. I will however keep giving DEFY a bad name if this is the level of quality they supply.
