Cheap appliances giving countless issues

I bought a hisense tumble dryer and within the first few months it gave me issues, I booked a repair through hificorp and the agent came out to repair it. It's now been another few months and it's giving me issues again, I booked another repair through hifi corp because it is still under warranty and the agent came out to see what the fault is... he was supposed to be here Saturday, I had to call after him and eventually he said he will be at my place Sunday morning, Sunday I had to call him again and he said that he is about to leave home.... he eventually came, I had to call him to find out what the issue with the machine is and he said that he needs to order parts and it could take up to 6 months to get and then the repair can be done. How can such a well known agent take 6 months to repair their own product? If this is the case why are you not replacing my tumble dryer? If this is the quality of your products what happens when my warranty ends will I need to constantly cough out money for repairs on this expensive product which is giving me so much issues already since brand new?

THE ONLY REASON I WAS TOLD WAS BECAUSE I ASKED ABOUT EXTENDING MY WARRANTY, WHY ARE CLIENTS NOT GIVEN THE OPTION TO EXTEND THEIR WARRANTY WHILE THE PRODUCT STILL IS UNDER WARRANTY? WHY ARE YOU GUYS NOT ABLE TO TAKE RESPONSABILITY FOR YOUR OWN PRODUCTS?

Hi Raeesah,  

Your unit is a tumble dryer and comes with a standard 36 month warranty, it does not have an extended warranty. 

Please click on the link below for warranty.

I hope you are well. I am writing to request the replacement of my tumble dryer, which I have owned for two years. It is still within its warranty period, and I have had it repaired twice already. However, following the second repair, the appliance has developed a new issue. It is now emitting a wizzing sound, which seems to indicate an electrical problem, and it has become significantly louder than before. Given that this problem persists despite multiple repairs, I am invoking my rights under the Consumer Protection Act (CPA). While I understand the CPA generally applies within the first six months of purchase, it also covers cases where a defect is inherent and continues to cause problems beyond that period, provided the goods are still under warranty. Since this defect has remained unresolved after two attempts at repair, I am requesting that my tumble dryer be replaced under warranty. I do not wish to wait until the warranty expires and risk further issues that I may not be able to afford to resolve. PLEASE ADVISE IF YOU NEED ANY DOCUMENTS FROM ME. Please advise me on the next steps in arranging the replacement of my tumble dryer. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter

Subject: Formal Request for Refund or Replacement – Faulty Hisense Tumble Dryer Dear Hisense Customer Support / HiFi Corp, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to formally request a refund or a replacement for the Hisense tumble dryer that I purchased and that remains under its 36-month warranty. Since the time of purchase, I have experienced multiple issues with this appliance:
  1. The first fault occurred within the first few months and required a repair.
  2. A few months later, the same appliance developed another fault, requiring a second repair.
  3. Most recently, a third fault has emerged — the machine is now emitting a loud, whizzing sound, suggesting a possible electrical problem.
Your technician visited on 23 April 2025 and stated that he “tightened everything,” yet I am not convinced this resolves the root of the issue. I also find it unacceptable that the technician was unaware of the previous repairs — this suggests a lack of coordination and proper case tracking on your end. Furthermore, I have been given vague and inconsistent timelines regarding part availability, including being told that it could take up to six months for parts to arrive. This is entirely unreasonable for a well-known brand. This appliance has proven to be unreliable and time-consuming to manage, despite being purchased new and used responsibly. I have invested significant time and effort in trying to resolve these issues, including multiple calls, follow-ups, and technician visits. My Request: I am now formally requesting either a refund or a replacement unit, as provided for under the Consumer Protection Act (CPA). Under the CPA, when a product is defective and cannot be repaired properly after multiple attempts, the consumer is entitled to a refund, replacement, or repair — I have already exhausted the repair option. Please let me know what documents or steps are needed to proceed. I would appreciate your urgent assistance, as I am unable to rely on this appliance any longer. Thank you for your time and understanding. I look forward to a prompt and fair resolution. Kind regards,
Raeesah Haet

 Hi Raeesah,
 We are sorry to hear that you are still experiencing issues with your tumble dryer. According to our records, the last technician's report indicated "no fault found." However, based on your recent feedback, it appears the unit is now leaking, not heating up, and producing a screeching noise. 

To assist you further, kindly provide us with a short video clearly showing the issues you are experiencing. This will help our technical team assess the situation more effectively. 

Additionally, we kindly request that you resend your email to ***, as our VOC team has confirmed they have not received any new correspondence from the email address currently on record. 

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused and look forward to resolving this matter as soon as possible.

Your VOC team is lying. I have sent so many emails from the day your last technician visited I have received no response until today because I came back to hello peter? I requested a refund or a replacement but it seems that hisense is only trying to make every excuse instead of taking responsibility for the faulty unit. Please send a technician tomorrow i will be at home
