Siemens Delivered a Faulty Fridge and Made Me Wait Without a Replacement

Hello, after my Siemens refrigerator broke down, I deeply regret choosing another Siemens refrigerator. Of course, it’s understandable that a faulty appliance might occasionally be delivered, but what happened afterward was beyond reason—lacking empathy, care, and at times even felt harsh and inconsiderate. From the moment the fridge was installed, it started giving multiple alarms. They told us to change the settings and wait two days, but the issue persisted. On the third day, a technician came and confirmed that the lower section was cold while the upper part was as hot as an oven—clearly a serious issue. However, the central team decided to place a test device two days later, ignoring the fact that the refrigerator had already not worked for three days. They showed no concern about how we would manage without a fridge, the stress it caused us, or the embarrassment we faced with overnight guests. When I asked Mr. F., one of the representatives, why they needed two more days of testing even though their own technician confirmed the issue, he replied, “How can we trust the technician?”—which made no sense. If the company doesn’t trust its own staff, how are customers expected to trust the company? After my persistent follow-ups, Ms. B. finally informed me that they decided to run a real-time test—as if doing us a favor. On the fourth day, another technician arrived, took measurements, made a report, and verbally shared the situation with the center. Just then, another representative on the phone wanted to speak with me. I assumed they would apologize or try to speed up the process, but instead, they pressured me to accept on-site repairs. Not once did anyone consider the impact this had on us. As I write this on the eighth day, the refrigerator finally reached us thanks to the personal effort of 'Özgerler Ticaret'. In total, we were without a fridge for 11 days. On the fifth day, when Ms. B. said, “We’ve decided to replace the fridge,” she treated it like good news. When I asked about delivery time, she said it would take 7–10 days due to steps involving the factory, warehouse, and service. I tried to summarize the experience here, but honestly, the difficulty we went through is beyond words. We tried to cook only for immediate needs, threw away a lot of spoiled food, couldn’t sleep from stress, and even got into arguments at home. I had to take time off school to wait for service visits. This is a service completely disconnected from the human experience. They have no idea who they’re serving or why. They sell refrigerators but seem unaware of the purpose those refrigerators are meant to serve. Words are not enough to express my frustration.

There are absurdities regarding my Siemens complaint numbered 32635106. First of all, I was not contacted about the complaint. It was written that I was contacted on June 2nd. Let me write, maybe someone will feel ashamed. Five minutes after I sent my message to Şikayetvar, I received a call from Siemens. A lady said, 'I think your refrigerator is delayed, I want to inform you about it.' She explained that the refrigerator was on its way and would be delivered in a few days. However, the refrigerator had already been delivered and was working at home at that moment. I told the lady, 'What kind of communication do you have, they haven't informed you.' As the conversation continued, I realized that she hadn't even read the message from Şikayetvar; towards the end of the text, it was written that the refrigerator was currently at home. After a few nonsensical words, I don't know if she was trying to cover up or recover, but she hung up the phone. This is the quality: is it possible to experience such absurdity at every stage? After talking to so many people for days, there was not the slightest conversation or correspondence about what was done, what was not done, and what happened. Siemens ignores its customers; people who don't even know what a refrigerator is for are selling refrigerators. I won't repeat what I wrote before, but if I list the problems you asked about in the survey: they couldn't offer a solution, the process took too long, and the problem was solved by the seller's personal effort—Siemens wasn't even aware, they didn't meet my expectations, the staff's behavior was beyond bad, and they didn't even contact me. None of these are exaggerated. All are clear on dates based on conversations and documents. I am also writing to international platforms, but I guess I haven't found the right address or they are just like the ones here. I expect support from Şikayetvar followers. I think Siemens in Germany has transferred home appliances to another institution; they responded to my email immediately but referred me to another address. I am waiting for a response. I leave the employee who says 'the issue has been resolved' and tries to cover up the incident to God's judgment.

No one called or checked on me. The lady who called had no information about the condition of the refrigerator. Without reading the entire message published on Şikayetvar, she told me that the refrigerator was on its way—this was the whole conversation, and it was that bad. Listen to the phone call, it’s unbelievable but true. It seems the issue was resolved by the seller bringing one of the refrigerators they had on hand without waiting for the process. I have lost all respect for your brand and your working system. I have four more Siemens products in my house, but there won’t be any more after this. As an individual, I will do everything legally possible regarding this brand. I don’t know how you run such a huge company by ignoring people, but I think Siemens should conduct internal quality control. How can every stage of a process that takes about 10 days be this problematic?

Hello, I insist that Siemens does not inform people correctly. I was called at 15:49 on June 2, immediately after I posted my complaint on Şikayetvar, and I was told that the procedures for my refrigerator had been completed, that it was on the way, and that they would try to deliver it earlier by speeding up the process, but that it would still take quite some time. In other words, they did not know that the service had come and completed the procedures after the refrigerator was delivered by the seller. This situation is clear in the phone conversation. I also told them this, and I ended the call by saying what they did was shameful. If Siemens denies what I said, I would like to state that I have the right to legally request the phone recordings. At the very least, it is obvious that one of the parties is openly lying. After all this nonsense, this is minor, but let me tell you my main purpose. I am persistent in clarifying the situation because ignoring this incompetence and disregard for people would only serve to support problems that may arise after me. Siemens cannot and should not act as if they called and all problems have been solved. Every stage of the process is seriously flawed, very shameful. That's all... Either tell the truth or call me a liar here, please...

Dear Şikayetvar officials, my complaint has not been answered. I explained the situation very clearly. Please remove the 'answered' statement from there. Also, I did not receive any response, written or verbal, to what I wrote to the email address they provided in their so-called reply. They hope that by staying silent and ignoring the situation, what happened will also be ignored. This is yet another example of how pointless it is to overvalue brands—what more can I say...

Two days ago, Mr. Hüseyin called me. He said that he took detailed notes of our conversation and recorded it. He specifically mentioned that he would leave a note for the relevant department to listen to the conversation regarding the complaint. Today, Ms. Rabia called, but unfortunately, she also hadn’t listened to the conversations and had no answer to the main points that form the basis of the complaint. They said they would evaluate and get back to me, so I will wait. Almost none of the managers I spoke to are interested in the human aspect of the situation. They try to answer every question, but it’s impossible—they simply don’t want to understand. Let me give an example without prolonging it: Isn’t it interesting that the manager who called about my complaint on Şikayetvar hadn’t read the complaint? Can it be explained why Siemens considers even its own staff to be unreliable? If the seller hadn’t intervened, even on the 24th day (which is today), the refrigerator still wouldn’t have been delivered, and in such a case, imagine what a family would go through, etc. etc. etc. Lastly, I say again, 'The quality of institutions and individuals is understood by what they do and don’t do when a problem arises.' Here you go, judge the quality...

Lastly, I spoke twice on the phone with Ms. Rabia, who apologized for this whole process and said they would make a gesture by giving a gift as compensation, 5 days ago. While I was waiting for Ms. Rabia's gesture, Horoz Logistics called again today asking who they should deliver the refrigerator to :) ) )
