oh not again....the Fridge
 
I bought a bloody fridge 6 months agom, after 3 months it went tits up, blokes said they were coming every day for a week, tehy lied, I shouted, nothing happened - eventually it got fixed, the bloke ran gme up last week as a foolow up call and I told him that it was 'unnacaeptable, appalling and downright shit service'.

My fridge has gone tits up again as of yesterday and I need to call him back now,

is it worth me going to carrefour where I bought it from and shouting at them?? If this was England Im sure I'd have a new fridge instead of it getting fixed,.....

gah! any ideas?

Don't know what it is with electrical items here they don't seem to last at all we've been here 5 years now and in that time have gone through 3 washing machines, 2 fridges, 2 hoovers and 3 irons - all of which were decent brands - I personally think its something to do with the electrical supply???????????? Oh and 3 kettles and 2 dishwashers, which now I've written it down is completely outrageous!!

You are obviously new to this game, call up the local manager and shout at him. Tell him if you have to call again you'll be in touch with the regional manager etc.

We've been through umpteen vaccum cleaners - so we now just buy the disposable variety - they last over a year and you just chuck it away.

Our fridge, dishwasher is 14 years old and hasn't been serviced even once (Ariston), but it probably has something to do with the fact they were provided by the building ("fully fitted kitchen"). My washing machine is 6 and again no problem.
