Repair says frame is damaged void warranty

Joebee — Fri, 19 Jan 2024 14:14:14 GMT

Is there a way to appeal a void warranty as I sen my z fold 4 in for a inner screen repair got a phone call saying me warranty is voided because there is damage to the frame and screen when there is no damage to the frame even on the repair booking confirmation says there is no damage to the frame an how is a broken screen void the warranty as well I am now having to pay £500 to get the screen repaired

Hi @Joebee

Thanks for coming here.

Was this sent to the repair centre through EE or Samsung?

Thanks 🙂

Leanne.

A broken screen is not a warranty issue unless Samsung has come out and said they have issues with the screens breaking.

A broken screen could be a drop. The booking repair form may not state a damaged frame but why would it? Who filled in the repair booking? You?

What is actually wrong with the device for warranty work?

How old is the device? I'm pretty sure all Folds came with a replacement screen for under £100 (if done within the first 12 months) or they used to especially when I purchased my Fold2 it did, but with this you had to send it to Samsung and not to EE.

Hi @BrendonH

I unfolded the phone and it was cracked right down the fold I have not dropped the phone one it has always had screen protector and a phone case on it I took the phone into a EE store and they said it was still under the manufacturer warranty I have had the phone for 11 months one of the employees in the store looked at the phone and could see no damage to the phone apart from the screen if I broke the screen by accident and know it was 100% my fault then I would have wrote anything and just paid for it

Please give us another call when our lines open at 8am @Joebee.

If you could also notify the agent this was sent via the EE Store and you have a report for the device condition before it was sent.

Hi @Katie_B

Yes I am just off the phone with them and they said they dont contact manufacturers I have to contact Samsung again to tell them that

They also told me on the phone they don't do manufacturer warranty because I only have a SIM with EE and bought the phone directly off of Samsung website I told the employee at the EE center this and they said it should be fine as it is still under the manufacturer warranty

If you purchased the phone direct with Samsung then you need to go to Samsung. Your contract for the device sale is with Samsung and nothing to do with EE.

If you purchased the phone with a plan at EE then EE are lying to you and they deal with Samsung regarding the warranty issues
