About IFB appliances in India
IFB is an Indian brand (headquartered in Bangalore) that dominates the front-load washing machine and dishwasher segments in India. Their error codes are descriptive three-letter codes (AUF, DOR, ECF, OFE) rather than numeric, which makes them slightly easier to interpret. IFB's service network is strong in South and West India but thinner in North and East India. Their washing machines are well-suited to Indian water hardness levels.
