Research Before Buying!

Its not unusual to regularly see Samsung appliances for sale as "used" or seconds in my local home improvement stores, which says something. I have Ge appliances.

Ours will be out of here soon. Thanks for the tip on GE, I've been looking online at different models just not sure what to get yet but his one has to go!

have you looked at the Consumers Report guides yet? they're still pretty reliable

be cautious around Sub-Zero products, super attractive but lots of claims against them

Not yet but that's a good idea. Actually I didn't even think about the consumers report guide. Probably why I always get stuck with crappy appliances

For what its worth my ex g/f has some rentals also & she will not buy anything else to go in them.

He never reads the reviews before making a purchase, especially if it’s shiny, that’s all he sees, shiny, shiny!

Yes sir. Got to look up reviews on anything we purchase these days. I bought a LG refrigerator about 5 years ago thinking it was a good brand. for the past 2 years the upper freezer has been icing up pretty badly. Every two weeks I have to break up the solid ice that forms in there. I know that I have to defrost it and clear the water drain on it, but there is always food in there. My previous fridge, a Frigidaire never had this problem during the 30 so years we had it. But I also have a Frigidaire electric range that has the oven door locked up and I cannot open it. There is no instructions on fixing this problem. It is supposed to do this in the self clean mode, but it is stuck good and will not release.

An extended warranty on an appliance can also be worth the money, even if you do not "need" it that can bring peace of mind.

I've always had high respect for Samsung products, but your post will make me a lot more cautious before buying their products. Thank you for letting us know about your problems.

Some brands have their high end and also low end products. You can buy Whirlpool appliances that are not worth a crap, but I have one of the good models with French doors and the slide out freezer compartment. I love it. But what I wrote here is true of GE also, I believe.

Yep. We had a middling washer and dryer set made by GE. The dryer was very good. The washer was crappy.

This freaking junk refrigerator is out of here this week. Now it’s started to make a loud buzzing sound!

I've never seen a good review of a Samsung refrigerator.

I had all of the problems you have had with your Samsung, but I had a GE. That 2 year old monster broke down often and the techs were puzzled. I wrote to GE and complained but they ignored me...........for a while. Remarkably, GE called me later and offered several options, the last one was they would buy my refrigerator and I could call it a day. I took them up on that and they paid me what I originally paid for that monster........I was shocked, I actually bought another GE, practically the same thing French doors, slide in freezer...and it's been great for the last 7 or 8 years. I thought I would never buy another GE fridge, but I did.

You should write to Samsung, and tell them your problem. If loads of people are complaining online, they will need to do something to fix the problem. I'm sure they are aware of GE's fridge problems, maybe they will buy yours?

I finally ordered the new fridge but it won’t be delivered until Monday. The bottom drawer is the freezer, which is working fine. The fridge is digital and last night I noticed the temperature said 51, it was always set at 37, it won’t go below 51 so time to have this piece of junk hauled away.

This one is a frigidaire.

Well they are going to call me today with a four-hour window when the new fridge will be delivered. This is a pain in the ass too! Having to take everything out and put everything in ice chests. At least the fridge will be cleaned out.

That's the way to think of it!

Yea and you know I can track the truck, they have four more stops before us and they have yet to call with that 4 hour window

Their website was wrong, said two stops away then I got a call saying they will be here in five minutes, just pulled up!
