Best wishes,
I have been in contact with the customer service department of Dyson in Korea. They made it clear to me that they were unable to help me because the service centers are run by another company.
I spoke with the service centers. It made me very suspicious and made me lost trust in Dyson. I was told a part was broken and the repair would cost about $90USD. Then I was told it would cost $100USD. Then I was called and told it could cost up to $140USD. I complained and the service center agent claimed he never told me his original estimate.
I looked up the malfunction, based on the code that appears on the fan, and eventually spoke to the manager of a couple of the service center locations. He said he would look at the CCTV footage because they didn’t give me anything in writing about the repair or the original estimate.
Long story short, I received a call today and was told the repair was already done, 1 week after being told it would take a month, and it was free. Apparently, now the part they claimed was defective was fine. A power line became disconnected so they connected it again, or so I was told. This was probably done the last time I look my fan in for service by the same service center.
This was a very frustrating, disappointing experience. In my eyes, it makes Dyson look terrible and unworthy of my trust.
What I can share on this forum is for people to be wary of what they buy and to find as much information about a potential repair before taking to the shop. Consumers should educate themselves rather than blindly trusting what they believe to be a reputable shop. Things aren’t always as they seem.
