Walmart ILO model IWT3206 32 inch SDTV
February 6th, 2008 by George
About December 2006 or January 2007 I was very happy to buy a ILO model IWT3206 32 inch SDTV which replaced a 25 inch Magnavox I’d had for about 10 years. The warranty is 90 days parts and labor and 1 year labor (I think that’s what my wife said - but definitely 90 days and 1 year).
Today my wife sits down and tries to turn on the TV - no such luck! I tried different plugs in the power surge strip its powered by, directly into the wall, and even another wall outlet. Nothing.
I get warranties, but when I buy a TV I expect 5 or more years out of it, and over the past 20+ years that’s what I’ve gotten. When I go to Walmart tomorrow with my very heavy TV set to see if a store supervisor can help me out I have no guarantees, she’s going to see if she can do anything or not. Here’s what I’ve found during my brief searches today about Walmart’s ILO (IWT3206) 32 inch SDT:
- Yahoo Answers - ILO TV Owners?
- Consumer Electronics Q&A - ILO Televisions and problems…Junk TVs?
- Walmart - Don’t buy this unless you have lots of money and can afford to replace it if (when). Oh, and if you do just buy something better
I bought this TV because It was only about $300. I wish I’d paid the extra $100 for a real brand name.

I have had the exact same problem with exact same t.v. What ended up happening with yours?

Stephen, I don’t know, I haven’t gotten it to a shop yet. I’ll try to remember to edit the post when I get it fixed, or whatever I find out if I decide its too much to pay for fixing it.
