Appalling Service Received - Teljoy, KIC & sub contracting technician

I do not know where to start with this complaint. I'm not even at the state of mind, where I want to go through all the other queries/complaints to see if there are more people struggling to get ADEQUETE technicians to attend to a broken/malfunctioning refrigerator. Teljoy is more concerned to find out "your feedback matters" even I put every single option in RED, they are still not bothered. They close a query before the problem is attended to. Background: I bought "renting" a fridge for my sister and I am so embarrassed by the service (lack thereof) we are getting. We are sitting with a now 4 Month young fridge, which at the temperature insisted its supposed to be on, with a hot top and over freezing freezer. the technicians from KIC (not actually - sub contractor) is not fami**** with customer service and has no personality and people skills and spoke in such a derogative manner to my sister that she had to leave the kitchen, very upset. They tell us we should understand that plastic bottles and plastic containers do not get cold. I want to put a hit myself in the face emoji. Fresh vegetable are completely wilted after only being in the fridge for three days. Not to talk about the awful smell (o wait he smelt that atleast, but could not tell where it comes from) (eyes rolling emoji). I explained to them that a couple of years ago, I experienced the same issue, and after many services, the fault came down to a CHIP error, it needed replacing. This said chip, back then, priced at R3000.00. So if they say its not gas, of element or anything else, can it not be the CHIP. When I mentioned the Chip it was completely ignored in every follow up email. The subject always gets changed.

We were recently told that the fridge needs to be completely switched off and defrosted and cleaned. This is a 4month young fridge. This all for the food that is currently kept cold with the freezer to go off. I hope that Teljoy do not close there job card before KIC PROPERLY SERVICES it

As I previously advised Teljoy, I am very well aware of the Consumer Protectors Act, and will resort thereto should the Fridge not be fixed.

This matter has reached its toll on my family now. The situation and the problem we are experiencing with the fridge does not seem to resonate with your supplier and we feel that Teljoy is not doing one bit to resolve our issue we have. I feel embarressed being a client of Teljoy as their service provider, in this instance KIC is useless. I purchased this fridge on rent to own for my sister and she is sitting with consumables that go off regularly but when a 3rd party to the matter come and do reports and look at a fault they seem to see nothing wrong with the fridge. I suggest that Teljoy get another company to come and inspect, i almost want to say, i can gaurentee you that a fault will be found, as the rude agent for KIC has no interest in assisting with the fault. Please advise how this can be resolved as we do not want to revisit this the whole time. Life itself is expensive and loosing food because of a faulty fridge is absolutely unacceptable and unnecessary.

Urgently respondent with a solution please.
