I had bought a Siemens washing machine after reading several positive comments about its sturdiness and long life. On how it has lasted people 10 years and counting. The machine is nice I wont deny that. But after less than 4 years of usage it has stopped working. The service center guy said that the Logic board needs to be replaced and it will cost me 10K to get it done. On top of that the new board will have one month of warranty only.
Thats too much for a machine I bought for 22K in the first place. I might as well buy a new machine instead of getting it repaired from them.
Anyway the point is that I should probably stop believing in the reliability of an electronic good coz its from a particular brand. Siemens is not an exceptional brand compared to IFB, Samsung, LG etc. I guess just like laptops it depends on your luck. And that you should say your prayers when the warranty runs out.
So any recommendations on getting it repaired locally for much less?
