What can I do about Amazon refusing to help about a purchase that broke and the vendor refusing?

£400 TV broke within two months, and 'Reliant' Direct, the vendor, refused to refund it, and kept dilly dallying until a whole year passed, and now it's refusing to even communicate...

    Are you saying that the tv broke after 2 months but that was a year ago?

    What has happened in the year since the incident was reported?

    Why didn't you follow Amazon's A to Z guarantee process?

    The thread title says "Amazon refusing to help", but you don't say what you've asked Amazon to do and how they are refusing?  Nobody here is clairvoyant.

    I have never bought anything from Amazon but I understand that they have a procedure called A - Z for complaints against 3rd party marketplace sellers.  Presumably you've tried that?

    And why on earth have you let the supplier string you along for over a year?

      Nobody here is clairvoyant.
    Wait, how can you be sure of that? Unless: are *you* clairvoyant? In which case ...

    This isn't an Amazon purchase by the evidence given. It's Amazon Marketplace. Totally different things.
    Why didn't you claim on the manufacturer warranty, assuming also one year?

    The OP says the vendor   refused to refund it, and kept dilly dallying until a whole year passed, and now it's refusing to even communicate... 
    What has the dealer been doing when dilly dallying?
    Amazon A to Z guarantee covers market place sellers and covers  products that are faulty on receipt but  "does not cover  warranty processes".
