Extremely Disappointed with AEG Customer Service, still not resolved after 6 weeks.
We have an ongoing issue with our AEG fridge — it freezes everything inside, including fresh produce, water and even canned soda becomes completely frozen — and despite being under warranty, AEG’s customer service has done everything except resolve the issue.
From the start (25 March), getting a technician took far too long. When he finally arrived, he didn’t bring the necessary tools to diagnose the problem and promised to return with a thermometer(logger) — which never happened. This became a theme: multiple technicians came and went without the right equipment, never properly tested the fridge, and each time the issue was kicked down the road.
The only action taken was replacing a part (mainboard of the fridge) without verifying if it actually fixed the problem (it didn’t). At one point we were told a replacement fridge is the only option if the mainboard replacement didn't work, but this was never followed up on. Every time we chased for answers, the response was vague or delayed — and always conditional on another tool, another visit, or more waiting.
Eventually, a data logger was sent — weeks after the issue began — and we returned it promptly. As of writing this, we’re still waiting on a clear answer or solution. The fridge continues to malfunction, and we’ve had to stop storing food at home out of concern for food safety, have stopped cooking at home, and are incredibly disappointed — especially given that all our kitchen appliances are from AEG.
As of today (14 May - 6 weeks later) there is still no solution and it does not even seem like they are trying to solve the issue. This has been one of the worst customer service experiences we’ve ever had. AEG has shown no urgency, accountability, or respect for our time as customers. We chose AEG for quality, but this experience has made us question the brand entirely. Ironically, one day before the issue started - we were actually talking with friends who are renovating and recommending AEG products - however this will be the last time we ever consider going near one of their products.
