Samsung washing machine - pitiful, apathetic service

Repairs to Washing machine.

Reported a faulty washing machine on 1st November. Technician visited, replaced an apparently faulty inverter board, charged R1800. Machine failed the same day.

Since then the call centre and technicians have been giving us a runaround. Numerous phone call to the call centres and technicians get dropped as soon as they run out of answers. THree weeks on, we are still awaiting a confirmation on whether parts are available and when the problem will be attended to.

No one has called me as of 21st November. I have made 6 calls to various representatives today, but the best answer I can get is that they are awaiting for an approval for a motor.

The reference number you supp**** above (ref **********) has not been a great help.

Still no closer to a washing machine after 21 days

One day later. Still no visit from a technician. I was blessed with an SMS to expect a call and then an actual call from Nhlanhla who couldn’t tell me if the part had been ordered, if a technician had been scheduled or if there were any associated costs or refunds. She did say that the call had been escalated

She said she would call me back once she had found out. She called back 30 minutes later but couldn’t add any additional information from the previous call, apart from fact that I may receive a call later in the day or next week once they had established if a part was available. She didn’t know which part was needed.
