I have purchased a Stove Hop of Brand – FABER on Sunday 19th Sept 2010.
I am sorry to mentioned on the site – that the same is having ignition problem and I registered the complaint immediately with the call centre ( tel:[protected] Call Number – 176840
Unfortunately the engineer who visited could not do much about it and confirmed that the other engineer would come and resolve.
The other so called engineer returns 2 days later to comment – this issue is normal and can not be improved beyond a particular level of improvisation.
I feel cheated and embarrased at home for offering my wife such a product.
I am ready to shell more money for a better product in exchange.
Need some one to help me immediately on this as the product is just 3 days old in the house.

Dear Sir(s)

I am pained to inform you about the serious harassment and my long plight to deal with your one local Dealer/Agent of your Products.Though I can not explain long story of my harassment by this e-mail,but the the brief facts given about my plight below will speak in itself to make you understand the whole thing.
That,based on an Advt about sale of your Electric Chimney,a Advt was released in Aug-2006,by your Company in the Local New-Paper (Dainik Jagran) giving Name & contact Nos of your local Dealers in Kanpur,on the the basis of which,I made contact over phone with local Dealer namely M/s: OCEAN TRADERS 117/N/47,Indradeep complex,Kakadeo Kanpur-208005 for purchase & installation of the Electric Chimney of the model,for which the Advt.was released.
That,your Dealer sent his representative to my house,namely Mr.Rajesh Gupta Who also claimed himself as Mkt Executive of your Company and also gave me his Visiting Card Which also had his Mob.Nos as [protected] & [protected]
That,he appraised me about the Product & Model and I then,placed Order for Purchase & installation.He also took an advance payment of Rs.1000/= in cash and issued me a receipt which cantains follwing details:-
Order Form No. 38,Dated:16/08/2006,of M/s: Ocean Traders.
for One No. 2740 BK Kitchen Electric Chimney = Rs.3140/-
Installation Charges = Rs. 250/-
Other work = Rs. 250/-
___________________________
TOTAL = Rs.3640/-
___________________________
Advance = Rs.1000/-
_____________________________
Balance = Rs. 2640/-

That, after elapse of about Three/Four months no action/Installation was done neither anybody informed me about the fate of my Order though my Tel.No.was taken and it was also mentioned in the order Form

That,based on the Nos given on the Visiting Card of Rajesh Gupta,I called him in Jan/Feb-07on the given No.When he told me that,he has since left the company & he has no more concern with the order,which was placed by me during his visit to my house.He even talked to me very rudely/roughly….& more Thereafter,I made a contact with the dealer ( M/S;Ocean Traders,Kanpur) over phone and requested him to refund the Advance paid by me.There one Mr Saurabh Yadav responded and told me that,he He shall be sending his rep to my house and will Check the original copy of the order where after he shall refund back the advance.After some days his rep. Mr Sandeep came to my house & Checked the originals and then,assured me that,my advance shall be refund within a week or so,but even then it was of no avail even after elapse of considerable time
Thereafter,I had no option but to visit personally & meet Mr Yadav of M/s: Ocean Traders.When I visited at the given address the nearby neighbour Shop Keepers informed me that,Either Mr,Yadav has already windup his business or shifted somewhere else.

In the present circumstances,I have no option but to file a Complaint case in the Consumer Court of Kanpur Claiming the refund of Advance with damages not less than Rs.50,000/- as I am Senior Citizen,and serious heart Patient,but I have been harassed so Bradly for the last four years,which god only knows.I am not ready to compromise merely by asking to pay back the Advance.
Thanking you

Dear Friends,

I had recently bought a kichen appliances of FABER HEATKRAFT make for around 15,000 Rs from this dealer who made some good sales talk initially till the time the full money was paid and later changed completely. The product is full of issues as it is most likely a defective peice and this guy says that talk to the company as his job is over once he sold the product. I think in the era when service standards are of prime concerns, we have unfortunately people like these who still take customer on ride. It is good that these forum provide opportunity to share the experience and completely boycott such dealers. Pl. spread this to the people known to you as I have also done so that such dealers are taught a lesson. I hope based on my experience, noone else will fall prey to this.

I brought a Faber Chimney on 5th Nov 2010. Faber promises to install such appliances within 24 hours, but even after waiting for 4 days, I'm not getting any satisfactory response from service center. Every time I got just assurances for a quick service which were no more than lame excuses.
After continuously bugging the technician since then he promised to come at 12:00pm and then come at 7:00pm and started demanding unusual charge. Such treatments hit customer belief and bring a bad name to Faber's repute. Please look into this and try to get my chimney installation ASAP.

SIR,

I PURCHASED A TWO BURNER FABER GAS STOVE IN DECEMBER 2007. LAST MONTH IT DEVELOPED PROBLEMS. A FABER ENGINEER SAID THAT BURNERS NEED TO BE REPLACED AND WOULD BE DONE IN TWO DAYS. BUT LATER I WAS INFORMED THAT THE SPARE BURNERS WOULD HAVE TO COME FROM PUNE AND IT WOULD TAKE A WEEK. AFTER FOOLING AROUND FOR MONTHS, THE FABER CUSTOMER CARE INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NO SPARE AVAILABLE AND I WOULD HAVE TO BUY A NEW STOVE. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT MY STOVE WOULD BE PURCHASED BY FABER FOR RS 200.

THIS AMOUNTS TO DEFICIENCY OF SERVICE. I REQUEST YOU TO EITHER REPLACE THE BURNERS OR MAKE SUCH ARRANGEMENT WHICH WOULD COMPENSATE OTHERWISE I WOULD BE CONSTRAINED TO TAKE APPROPRIATE LEGAL ACTION.

YOURS TRULY,
Y.SHOUKATH

My name is Murali and I am from Chennai. I am customer using Faber Hob and chimney at my residence for the last 5 yrs.

I had lodged a service request to your chennai office (Smart Solutions) vide complaint no SK0252 a week before diwali. The service request was attended to by the technician couple of days before diwali (Nov 3). The request for service was lodged since 2 of the burners in the 4 burner hob was not burning properly. The technician who came serviced the Hob and said a jet and spark plug had to be changed in 2 burners. He did not have the spares and hence promised to come the very next day and attend to the same and change the spares. A charge of Rs 200 was paid for the service that he attended to.

The next day went and so far the technician has not come back. I have been calling Smart solutions every day and the reply I get is that they will send someone that day. It is more than a week now and today after insisting that I speak to someone at higher level, I am told that the spares are not available and that the work will be undertaken only next week.

Now I dont understand how spares could be a problem and not available when the job of the service center in chennai is to hold spares and attend to customer complaints. I dont know f the spares will come next week and the same will be replaced at my place. Every time I need to call up the service center and they do not respond back at all. Is there only one service center that you have in chennai?

I would like to know if there is an alternate service center who will attend to this issue or should i look for private service centers

I had purchased a FABER brand electric chimney under life-time warranty scheme. Now the chimney is not running. I have tried to connect their dealer cum service center at Raipur over Ph. no.[protected], but even after repeated dialing, no one is lifting the phone. I then talked to the owner lady of the establishment over mobile, but she expressed inability to note down the complaint until Tuesday(07/12/2010) saying that she is outstation & 'busy'. So, I am forced to wait until Tuesday to again contact & try to lodge complaint. My question is- How can an organization close down its service center to suit convenience of any one person? after all, any genuine organization worth its name usually keeps a staff of more than one person to take record of complaints & attend to them through service technicians, etc.With the careless attitude shown to me, it seems that though Faber makes big promises when selling the product, in reality they don't care about providing after sales service to its customers. I request you to take it up with appropriate authority.

I had approached the company H.R in the month of 26th of May 2010.From there on it was a big drama on their part saying that my P.F was on the way.Again in the month of July Iwas called and the H.RDept. told me that my form was lost and again they told me to resend it.It is know the 10th of Dec..still they are playing the fool with me.I would like to take this matter to the highest level and mind ou these people are players who think no end of themselves.I have sent them a notice from court but to my surprise they have very shamefully sent my lawyer a one line reply that my P.F is on the way.

I need help and would be grateful i[censored] escalate this complaint at your earliest.

I have purchased Faber 3 burner cooktop ( 2 indian + 1 italian burner) and since begining that cooktop has problem with one indian burner. This is almost 2 years now but still problem is not resolved and Faber services are worst. They are not at all professional and there staff is full o[censored]nskilled people. They are aware of products for which they are providing services.

There administrative staff are having all skills to fool customer and keep giving false assurance. There should be heavy penalty on Faber company for there faulty products and poor after sale services.

I want my money back with penalty on them due to mental harassment.

Thanks & Regards

To The Manager
Customer Service
Faber, India

Sir,

Please note I purchased a 3 Burner Faber Cook Top from your dealers "Sterling…." in Dr.Rajkumar Road, Rajajinagar, Bangalore on the 4th Nov'09 ((Cash Memo No.: 997).

The rubber profile on the sides were loose on purchase itself but I did not think too much about it at the time. But with time the profile came loose completely exposing an extremely sharp edge all around. We tried to glue it back using industrial glue which did not solve the problem. Recently while cleaning the cook top my wife's fingers got nearly sliced through due to this razor edge at which point I called the local Faber Service Centre in Bangalore who were most uncaring or responsive. The only reply each time I called was that the "profile" was not in stock ! I then put in a complaint (Ref. No.[protected] on the Toll Free No. whose response was also poor.

Finally after repeatedly pressing Mr.Martin at the Bangalore Service Center, he sent Service Technician Mr.Basavaraj who looked at the problem and mentioned that it was a "Design Fault" of Faber's and that he could not do anything about it.

Design fault or not since this is a serious safety issue I would like to know what is the Company's response in this matter.

Awaiting Yours.

Best Regards

Capt.Karun Thekepat
