No Service from Defy

We have literally been waiting 4 months for a working thermostat for our oven. The technician came out 2 weeks after we called the service centre. He discovered that the thermostat was not working properly and the door's hinges needed replacing. We then waited 3 months for the thermostat as there was no stock. The technician finally returned and installed the thermostat. We then realised that the thermostat was also not working correctly and logged a follow up. The technician came a few days later and confirmed that the oven was 30 degrees hotter than it should be. He assured us that they still had thermostats so he just had to get one and bring it to our home to install it. It's been 3 weeks now and we're still waiting. We messaged the technician directly last week and he said he would come and install it the next business day. Still nothing. We recently had to replace our washing machine and we did not look at a Defy. The appliances are good but the service is near non-existent.

Reviewer Update
An update: the technician showed up without warning while I was using the oven on 15 August. He stayed outside the house looking in his van for 15 minutes. I had asked him if I should switch off the oven, to which he rep**** yes, so I stopped my cooking. He finally came in to inform me that he thought he had brought the wrong thermostat. As he hadn't looked at the oven yet (and he'd said "I think") I asked if he was sure. He said he was. He said that he couldn't return that day, but would definitely be back on the 16th to install the correct thermostat. Once again he has not returned. We received a text message on 22 August saying that a call had been logged, even though we had not called again. We have since messaged the technician directly twice. Both messages were received, but no response. I can definitely say that we will not be looking at a Defy to replace our oven when we redo our kitchen in the next two years.
