My fridge was not working properly. I sent it to Smart Appliance Centre in Blackburn. As per their staff the fridge had an internal gas leak. The report states they fixed the fridge and stated all was in working order. No guarantee on the compressor. Now they are saying that leak was on heating side first which they fixed. It also has a leak on the cooling side and this cannot be fixed. They did not advise us initially of this. This shows inconsistency on their side. Fridge did not work from the next few days after they brought it back to us. So my fridge went in with a minor issue but still worked however now it has been 'repaired' by them but does not work!! Tired of calling them and being told different things..almost like they are guessing the fault. They have now done more damage to my appliance than before. Very unhappy with their lack of customer service and incompetence. If they could not fix it they should have just said so and I would have gladly paid somebody else that could do the job!

Dear Hisense Customer Service, and Smart Appliance Center I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding a faulty Hisense hob and oven purchased approximately two weeks ago online from HiFi Corp, as well as the extremely poor after-sales service I have received. After receiving the appliances, I had an electrician install them this past weekend, only to discover that the oven does not work at all and two plates on the hob also do not switch on. I immediately contacted HiFi Corp and logged a fault. When I followed up on Monday, I was told that there was nothing further they could do and that I needed to contact Hisense directly. I then contacted Hisense, logged a fault, and emailed my proof of purchase to ***. I received SMS confirmations, including a message stating that a technician had been assigned. Today (Tuesday), I received a call from Ramona at Appliance Center at 14h35, confirming a technician would come out and that someone needed to be home. I confirmed that my wife was home and available. I returned home at 16h30 to find that no one had arrived. I called again and Ramona assured me the technician was still coming. It is now 19h00, and no one has arrived, nor have I received a call, update, or cancellation. I am extremely frustrated and disappointed. For a brand like Hisense, this level of unreliability and lack of communication is completely unacceptable. I urgently request that a Hisense manager intervene and contact me directly to resolve this matter as soon as possible. Please treat this as a priority.[ Ticket: *** ] ***

A 3 month long frustrating process with Smart Appliance Centre. Our Whirlpool dishwasher’s original water inlet issue still isn’t fixed, despite several returns. We were told it was debris, but that wasn’t the cause of the initial fault. Communication has been very poor - ZERO call-backs or replies to messages. I stayed polite and patience throughout the process but I have not been treated correctly as a customer. Feeling very let down. We requested a refund since they have not actually fixed the appliance but they simply refused.

The most horrific experience. No communciation. they took my washing machine and I never heard from them, when I called through I was told to stop talking by the most rude receptionist. Very disappointing as I have used them in the past but this has ruined it completely. Would never recommend them.

This company is pathetic. They dont answer emails, barely respond to whatsapp's l. When they do respond the fail to provide timely feedback can't even provide prices or spares based o. Pictures for the spares, spares numbers, make and model and serial number of the washing machines. Steer clear. You spend your life chasing then and asnweringbthe same questions over and over because they couldn't be bothered to read correspondence first.
