On May 12, 2021, we purchased a Bosch KGN57VW22N A+ 505-liter No-Frost refrigerator (Order No: 849 511 976) from the seller "Ergüder Ticaret" on the Hepsiburada website. The first malfunction occurred around September 6–15, 2021, and was caused by a power surge. It was considered under warranty and repaired by Bosch service through welding on the back panel. When we asked the technician whether a product replacement was possible due to this manufacturing defect, he said he would look into it but never got back to us. On August 26, 2022, the refrigerator’s cooling and freezing functions became insufficient, so we called the service again under warranty. The technicians fixed the issue and mentioned that if the problem recurred, the product might be replaced, as it could indicate a manufacturing defect—yet again, we received no official response. In June 2023, the refrigerator stopped working once more, causing our meat products to spoil. The service technician said the freon had run out and recharged the gas, which took about two hours. When we asked what to do about the recurring issues, we were advised to purchase extended warranty coverage. In February 2025, the refrigerator once again lost its freezing function, and we had to move our food to our neighbors’ homes to avoid spoilage. On February 28, 2025, Bosch service returned and repaired the device, but this time it was out of warranty and cost us ₺3000. However, despite only a month having passed, the refrigerator is once again malfunctioning and not cooling properly. The recurring issues strongly suggest a manufacturing defect. According to Turkish Consumer Law No. 6502, if the same fault occurs repeatedly, the consumer has the right to request a product replacement or a refund. Therefore, we request the replacement of this faulty refrigerator with a new unit and ask that this matter be urgently reviewed and a written response provided.

As I mentioned before, the cooling compartment of the refrigerator I bought from you has not been working properly since the beginning. I have called for service many times, and each time the malfunction was temporarily fixed: gas was refilled, some pipes were replaced, etc. However, the problem keeps recurring. Most recently, your service team came a month ago and fixed the same issue again. Now I am facing the same problem once more. Last weekend, three different technicians came. One of them suggested that I buy a new refrigerator, while another said the repair would cost 5000 TL. However, I cannot pay for the same repair every month. This product was faulty from day one, and this is a manufacturing defect. I have already made this request before: I want my product to be replaced with a new one. About two years ago, one of your service employees also agreed that this product should be replaced, but the replacement has still not been made. If this malfunction is not going to be completely fixed, I will file an official complaint with the Consumer Arbitration Board. Three days after I submitted my complaint, I was called by your side. During the phone call, I clearly stated to your service center representative that I do not speak Turkish very well. You promised me that someone who can speak English would call me back. However, for the next two days, I was called by the Refrigerator service (Bosch), and the call was hung up after the first ring. I called you again and requested once more: I want someone who speaks English to contact me. You said, 'Okay, we will call you.' You called again, but again hung up immediately. Afterwards, I called again and finally an employee with very limited English called me. Therefore, I had to speak Turkish, which is very difficult for me because I cannot fully understand everything. For this reason, I kindly request that a staff member who can speak English contact me. This way of communication will be much healthier for me.
