Poor Service

So i bought a Defy washing machine from Game Pavilion, on the machine it was stated recommended for Ariel, However I've only used Omo auto liquid for the past 10 years, so I asked the sales man if I can use omo liquid and he said I can, after purchasing the machine, I used a cap of omo liquid and the machine started foaming and the foam was dripping from the detergent dispenser and jumping cycles and not rinsing and spinning, like it should so i had to do a double cycle, I complained to Game, Defy and customer care and all they did was send out a technician 4 times to check the machine to which they said I,m using too much of liquid and the amount to use is quarter cap which equals 2 tables****s,they also de scaled the machine, how can I be using that amount on heavily soiled clothing, it's gone over a month and the moment I use a little over 2 tables****s of liquid, it foams. Why did the salesman give me incorrect information, if I had known i cant use omo auto liquid in it, I would have rather have taken a Samsung brand, I requested for Game to take back the machine and give me a refund or rather a Samsung machine, unfortunately they wont because according to them im not using the machine correctly and ever since i bought this machine my lights and water increased drastically because of the double cycle and the machine jumping cycles which is using more water and lights. I will never purchase from Game again, pathetic service.

Reviewer Update
  • Owner’s Manual: Please refer to pages 10-12 of the User's Manual.
  • Heavily Soiled Clothes: Soak heavily soiled clothes before washing and perform two wash cycles if needed.
  • Detergent Use:
  • Do not put any detergent in the prewash compartment (1).
  • Do not leave the detergent dispenser open while in use.
  • Place detergent in compartment (2) and ensure not to overfill.
  • Rinsing Machine: Rinse the machine 3-4 times. Using warmish water instead of cold cycles will help flush out the detergent and prevent skipping cycles.

This is the feedback I got from Game customer care☝️

Wouldn't this be pushing my electricity and water bill up, and now they are saying i must soak my heavily soiled clothing before washing and perform 2 wash cycles, whose going to compensate me for the high water and electricity bill. I had my Samsung washing machine for 10 years and i never had to do 2 wash cycles. Why aren't you questioning the salesman from Pavilion Game as to why he provided me false and misleading information...he could have told me that I won't be able to use omo auto liquid in the machine, and I would have purchased the Samsung instead. Now I have to deal with a machine that over foams every time I use a little extra omo liquid and I'm sitting with 8 x 1,5 litres of liquid which I purchased extra of before buying this defy machine because as I mentioned I've only used omo auto liquid.

Pathetic service, never will I purchase from Game again. The whole idea is game doesn't want to refund my money or provide customer satisfaction by taking the defy washing machine and giving me a Samsung machine instead...

Hi Ashika, apologies for the late response. I have looked through your query and I do want to extend my humblest apologies for the issue not being resolved as expected, as I know this has caused great inconvenience. When it comes to a matter like yours, we have to take into account that your item will be regarded as second hand, because it was used, and that is the reason why  it was assessed, which could not then be replaced, unless found irreparable. I am aware that the technician has come out, and the item was found "not faulty", but the item had to be re-assessed to determine the fault. Please do advise if you have been further assisted, in case a follow up  needs to be done.
