I have been facing extreme negligence from **Whirlpool India** regarding my refrigerator’s compressor replacement. Here’s the situation:

* **Product:** Whirlpool IF INV 305 ELT-4S / 292 LTR REF – SAPPHIRE ELECTRA
* **Issue Reported:** February 5, 2024 (Refrigerator stopped working)
* **Complaint Registered:** Yes (No proper response from Whirlpool)
* **Initial Replacement ETA:** 4-7 Days (February 12th)
* **Latest Update:** Delivery was delayed to March 9-10, but now even that is failed!
* **Service Center Status:** They have not received the part and have no estimate of when they will.
* **Whirlpool’s Response:** No commitment, no timeline, just vague assurances.

# My Concerns:

1. I have been without a functional refrigerator for over **a month**, causing severe inconvenience.
2. Whirlpool has **failed to fulfill their service obligations**, repeatedly missing deadlines.
3. They **refuse to provide a clear ETA**, meaning I could be stuck waiting indefinitely.

# Legal Help Needed:

* Can I file a **consumer complaint** on CPGRAM or in the Consumer Court for **deficiency of service**?
* Am I eligible for **compensation** for the extended delay and inconvenience?
* Any other legal actions I can take to hold Whirlpool accountable?

Any guidance on **how to escalate this legally** and get my refrigerator fixed ASAP would be highly appreciated. If anyone has dealt with a similar situation, please share your experience.

Thanks in advance!

I bought the refrigerator from Sales Emporium, a retail store

You can file a consumer complaint against them. Send a legal notice first though.

You will be eligible for claiming compensation for delay and inconvenience caused by their failure to replace or fix the faulty part if it is within warranty.

It’s just a fridge, not a family member in danger
