Hi all, after some advice/opinions on the following.

We have a 4 year old Haier freezer were the auto- defrost had packed up. Freezer cost $1400. Contacted Haier online and they said only has a 2 year warranty. Mentioned CGA and then they said they would pay for parts and we pay for travel and labour. Told them I would think about it.

Anyway I'm now thinking I should go to Harvey Normans about it as that is were I bought it. I also think it should be covered by the CGA.

So questions -

1 - is it a CGA thing so should cost me nothing to get fixed

2 - what's people's experience been like getting HN to honor CGA issues

3 - if they refuse, do I pay to get it fixed and then take them to the disputes tribunal.


Thanks in advance


Mike

Here's a update on the outcome.

Short story - all sorted by Harvey Normans for free.

Long story - Got hold of Harvey Normans and they said they need to get it checked out and will take it from there. They booked a service agent thru F&P. Service agent come out found a faulty part, replaced it. They asked the missus if we are paying and she said "no, Harveys are". He said "ok" and left. Got a invoice emailed to me from F&P, I forwarded it to Harvey Normans who said it shouldn't have come to us and they would sort it.

So 👍 to Harvey Normans, 👎 to Haier for not knowing or ignoring the CGA.

Mike
