I had my own repair man because Samsung said there wasn’t a repair man in my area and all I get is lies from Samsung . My attorney general hasn’t helped me one bit and I voted for him, the New Jersey better business barrel is a joke because I think Samsung is paying them off because I lost my case. I am on the Facebook un name appliances and the other group for Samsung and haven’t gotten anywhere. I tried many times and contact a lot of people answering phone calls and etc. and didn’t get anywhere with Samsung or anyone else. Not happy..

Same here. Had the Geek Squad out 4 or 5 times for repairs during which the entire icemaker unit was replaced at least 3 times. Finally, Best Buy replaced the entire refrigerator, which at first sounded great to me, but shortly after delivery, it developed the same icemaker issue. So far, the most recent (Feb. 2022) replacement has lasted. In addition, too late, I discovered that even water drips wiped up quickly leave permanent marks on the lower doors, which leads me to believe I was not given an equal value refrigerator, but possibly a "second". I should add that no harsh chemicals or cleaners have ever been used on this refrigerator and finger marks are removed with a soft, damp e-cloth. It's sad, because the Samsung 4-door fridge is very sleek and attractive, and I do prefer the lower compartments with doors over a drawer style. In the future, there will be no Samsung appliances in our home.

We purchased a beautiful 28 cu ft French Door Samsung with dual icemakers (1 up top in fridge and 1 down bottom in freezer). The top ice maker quit approximately 3 years after we purchased fridge. Thankfully, we purchased the extended 5 year warranty which allowed the repair man to come 3 - 4 times with replacing the whole ice maker as the final resort. Still did not make ice. Fast forward to less than one year after the 5 year extended expired (still not making ice) and the beautiful, like brand new 5.5 to 6 year old fridge is sitting on our deck waiting to be hauled off to the dump. It completely died after making some very strange noises. We were so discouraged after spending several thousand dollars on it that we went to HD and purchased a $600-$700 old fashioned style Frigidaire after getting sage advise from a veteran kitchen cabinet designer. She told us Samsung and LG are one of the worst appliances on the market for longevity and are only getting worse. We will never buy Samsung again.

In my experience everything Samsung manufactures has defects. I had CRT monitors made by Samsung is 1990s, they were all faulty. When smartphones come, I bought some Samsungs and problems again! And now the f*!# freezer, made by Samsung.

My defrost coil heats, but gets too hot (400+F), so any melting ice dripped on the defrost heating element and instantly evaporated. This caused high humidity in the refrigerator, and thus contributed to once again icing up the coils, rather than the water dripping into the hole. My fix was to add a $5 12v temp controller to the 12v line that turns on the defrost heating element, and set it to cycle off and on to keep the element closer to 200F. Now humidity stays 40% to 60% vs 80 to 100%. The coils stay defrosted without build up, and it stops the viscous high humidity cycles that end up freezing to the fan. If the element temperature is limited to a lower temp, it won’t fail as often. Drip water drops on your 400F oven element to see what is happening as a test, then try again when set to under 200F.

I had all Korean appliances. As each one breaks in less than five years I am replacing each one with brands like Bosch (dishwasher), and Frigidaire (fridge), and GE (stove). Very expensive mistake, you get what you pay for.

Our personal experiences that every time there is a power outage you have to reprogram it all over again. If your not home or on a short vacation your food is done . Nice for good over $2,000. Even with a surge protector or if you have something that will kick in when the power comes off even for a few seconds...,as soon as the electric panel is interrupted by the power outage issues began. We've heard of the word obsolescence BUT when it comes to refrigerators that is supposed to protect FOOD this should be unacceptable.

OMG wish I had seen this before we purchased our refrigerator. We purchased a week ago from Brandsmart. First problem the two delivery guys spoke NOT 1 WORD OF ENGLISH. They communicated with us through phone translation. Wth? Then I notice the left side door of the refrigerator was taller than the right side. When we opened the fridge to attach the shelves we noticed a few of the shelves were lopsided. Are you kidding me Samsung? We paid over 2k for the refrigerator. We also contacted Samsung for help with setting up because it was so compicated. The rep went through the steps. We followed her instructions, then she finally told us to call Brandsmart and demand a replacement because there was an obvious issue with the unit. This is Samsungs fault. They shouldn't have even approved that appliance to get to the store with crooked shelves, temp issue & uneven door. I'd think they'd have some sort of quality control for inspection for these items prior these appliances reaching the consumers. The refrigerator has an issue with keeping our food cold. It's been 5 days and the temperature is not what it's suppose to be. In times like this when the cost of food is so expensive, it's heartbreaking to throw spoiled food out because the unit is not working as it should. Tomorrow we're suppose to have an exchange. I pray to God this one has no defect, but who knows down the line. We took out 2 years extra warranty when we purchased, but if we have any issues with the 2nd fridge we plan on taking action against Samsung. This is unacceptable!!!!

I'm not on Facebook, but our Samsung ice maker has had issues; our repairman testified to the fact that they go out often and he has to repair so many of them. Recently, (and this is probably our fault), we put the filter in incorrectly because the o-ring was off kilter; we flooded our kitchen area, the room next door, the hallway, pantry, and it got downstairs, too.

My refrigerator freezer died on me on Sunday March 12, 2022 without any signed. Today, Tuesday (after 2 days), a Samsung authorized serviceman came and in less than 10 minutes diagnosed with Samsung Center over the phone, he said it's the seal system issues and he couldn't fix it. It would be another company which can do the seal system repair. My refrigerator is just a little bit over 6 years old. The model is exactly same as the news showed. I am still waiting for Samsung to give a solutions.

🥺 yes it says right on the door 10 yr Compressor warranty. Just shoot me. It’s been making noise & it’s always running. May shut off but not long after it goes back on & it sounds like a motor boat. It’s jut 1 1/2 yrs we’ve had it. Great!

What did he say?

My fridge has heavy condensation which grows mold very easily. The mold is mostly hidden under the lowest panel which I never use, so I only find it out after having it for four years! I’m so shocked to see the condensation and mold coming back only after two weeks of through cleaning and sterilization. Never gonna buy anything from this brand.

I had a Samsung Fridge and had all the same problems only worked for 6 months. Also had a Samsung dishwasher that kept leaking or just getting stuck worked only for 3 months. Luckily I had extended warranty’s and had both replaced. Went with LG for the fridge and Bosch for the dishwasher. Only Samsung appliance that didn’t break is the gas stove/oven but it’s technology from the 1800s so it’s hard to f that up…

I have owned/operated my appliance repair business for 39 years. I live in an area with approx 50K people. People call and say they have an LG or samsung appliance. I tell them I do not touch either of them. They ask why and I tell them there are so damn many things wrong with them that I would feel like a thief if I serviced one. they tell me that they've called everyone and nobody will touch either of them. My one liner about samsun is this: I once bought a samsung radio and the damn thing only played in Korean. Because of what I have learned over the years in this business, MY appliances are older WPs~washer, dryer, range, etc. OLDER than the defective electronic garbage which is designed to fail. When someone calls & says, "I'm getting this e~1 or F~5 code. I tell them to wait a little while and it will read~~"FU~2".LOL

Which brands do you recommend?

I have a Frigidaire and a Hotpoint. These are just two of the brands I used to pick up and deliver across the country. I know where they come from and what the people who make them look like. I can say the same for Whirlpool, General Electric, Amana also.

I am actually having trouble with our refrigerator as well. It has taken months to get anything resolved.

Really glad the algorithm showed me this video and comments before we went through with purchasing one of these. It would have been my dream fridge. Disappointing.

I'm just the messenger, but... "We do not recommend connecting a refrigerator or freezer to a surge protector. The reason we do not recommend this is explained below: The compressor is sensitive to temperature and current overloads and will shut itself down with a power surge." "Here are some examples of high-capacity appliances that you should NOT plug into a power strip: Refrigerators. Washing machines and dryers. Sump pumps. Space heaters. Portable air conditioners. Microwave ovens. Toasters. Coffee makers." Samsung appliances aren't worth the powder to blow them to hell.

Currently looking at anything but Samsung brand refrigerators. The ice maker continuously requires defrosting. The refrigerator had been flawless for months after we installed a heater wire defroster. Thought that part was finally fixed. Today, the fan become very audible again. That familiar ice build up in the back has returned and I am furious. As soon as I find a new brand refrigerator to replace it, it will be bye Samsung appliances forever.

We had a Samsung and got rid of it for all these reasons. The ice maker went, the fridge stopped working. So we update to a GE that doesn’t get cold enough. Brand new machine and it can’t even get to the set temp. I want the fridge my grandmother had. The ones that never died. This planned obsolescence era is having fridges die day one. How do we go from fridges that last forever to these pieces of junk.

Thanks. Am about to buy a new fridge. This has helped make my decision.

I just saw this. Until now I thought it was just me. I love the fact that I have the freezer on the bottom of the freezer and the top. My top freezer has not worked most of the time that I’ve had it but I can rely on the bottom. My cooling on the top is ruined all my milk .and it’s molding on the back I’m afraid to use the water.The dishwasher is also gone bad the pump is burning out so I’m stuck with around $4000 that I don’t have to spend on another appliance.

Bought washer, dryer and fridge from Samsung. Washer lasted 18 months, dryer around 36. Fridge still running, but ice maker out after one year. I also blame big box stores: Lowes, Home Depot, Best Buy etc. for selling this poor quality brand. They know better.

Same experience with the readings of temperature of the control panel. I purchase a individual thermometer because I always felt like the digital panel temperature was not matching the true inside temperature., Once I placed the thermometer in the fridge after an hour it showed that it was 20° higher then with the panel was reading. As soon as the warranty went out so did the fridge and this is fraud in my opinion. After hearing all of these other people's experience it's clear that this is being purposely done.

@@learnbyheart7 EXACTLY! In my personal opinion there is no need for anything digital on a refrigerator. It's way too sensitive to power outages it's way too vulnerable for it to get messed up after a power outage comes and goes even with a power surge protector which I had from the very beginning because somebody that knew about these things recommended it on top of letting me know I should not get into a digital fridge which I feel very sorry I didn't listen. A lot of the fridges out there are digital and we need to do something to go against that. After the warranty is over they don't cover anything that you lose when it comes to your food spoiling. In these instances not only did you lose the money on your refrigerator but you also lost the money on all of that food that was going to feed your family that night or that week and if you're short on money like some people have been what are you going to do? I honestly feel that these refrigerators are like a crime against society....., I'm not kidding about that either.

LOL those numbers just to fool you i swear, same shit with mine, My $4000 Samsung is down completely because compressor went out, so when i plug it in i know its warm because compressor is not working, after few hours i see the panel showing 34 LOL, and my freezer shows -25 LOL, like i said i think those numbers just to laugh at you, saying hey stupid those numbers mean nothing. im scrapping mine and buying old fridge, im done with this expensive shiny crap that works for 3 years and quits.

This is really concerning. My wife and I were thinking about buying a Samsung refrigerator, but upon hearing about the problems with it, especially from someone who is an advisor at Best Buy, i guess the same brand ownership might not be a great idea. I wonder though, what refrigerator brands would be most reliable?

For something to be reliable it needs to be simple. Buy a fridge with no water in the door, and no ice maker. The actual process of refrigeration is a very simple closed loop system. You run a compressor, and condenser coils then blow air across the condenser coils with a thermostat to tell you when to turn on/off. Once you start adding in things like ice maker, and water line which are not necessary for refrigeration that's what breaks down. Get a brita pitcher and a countertop ice maker.

Don't do it! Don't buy a smart appliance unless it's a television or telecommunications device. One smart fridge manufacturer was exposed for programming device to fail, I can't remember what brand it was. I'd never buy one.

Had a Samsung Washer and got it brand new. It was one of the first waterfall washers. It broke once per month for 6 months. I got them to take it back for a full refund. A few months later the whole line was recalled and taken off the market. Never buy these Korean made washers or other appliances. These are nothing but problems, and parts seem hard to get.

I bought a huge beautiful stainless samsung dishwasher and premium refrigerator from Home depot, maybe about 8 years ago when Samsunmg started to mass market their home appliances. It was several hundred dollars less expensive than comparable competitive models. Buying these Samsung appliances was the biggest mistake I ever made. I don't think the dishwasher made it past the three year mark, and that was after considerable repair bills. The refrigerator had two ice makers, and neither one of them work anymore. Even worse, an internal water line broke and flooded my kitchen. It was a miracle that I was at home to disconnect the supply line, or my whole bottom floor would have been seriously flooded. Another problem with that refrigerator is it uses a very expensive proprietary water filter. Samsung is mostly at fault, but I also blame Home Depot for selling me crap appliances.

The US Department of Energy issued new refrigerator energy efficiency standards in 2014, and some of the earlier models that complied with the new standards didn't have all the kinks worked out. This applies to many other products (even cars) as government efficiency standards are increased over time.

Those bureaucrats need to stop setting efficiency standards on appliances or other products. They have absolutely no business demanding appliance makers make their products energy efficient - and I would not mind sternly telling that to their faces.

I can’t believe people buy Samsung goods and actually expect them to be reliable.

Pure Junk...3 vacuum cleaners, one fridge ...one microwave ...all JUNK...Never again.......

I worked in a big factory, it paid very well. I heard several people talking about buying Samsung and having it break just as warranty was gone. Same with LG. Basically even, at least in my factory it was. I won't even buy those TV's because of all the complaints I've heard. How can they make it so bad when old fridges work perfectly for a lifetime? Must be so they can sell another one to the same people.

Samsung fridges are GARBAGEEEEEEEE. 2 lemons in a row. AVOID AVOID AVOID

Our refrigerator was so bad that Samsung had to buy it back after 6 tech visits and no fix. Turns out California's lemon law for cars also applies to appliances.

Yep that’s about my experience with Samsun fridges with my house It either has something break and we have to order a part to replace a few years down, or some designs are flawed and we gotta order a third party part to resolve the issue

i had a ice jamming problem with my chef series. samsung rep said there is a class action pending on this issue. i was able to work my way around this issue by turning ice maker on/off intermittently. leaving it on permanently causes jamming of ice and must defrost the entire fridge to un-jam the ice maker. i never had any issue after intermittent ice making.

I HOPE WE'RE NOT THE EXCEPTION FOR THIS FRIDGE BUT WE BOUGHT IT IN 2022 AND HAD IT DELIVERED THIS SUMMER AND LOVE IT!!

Our ice maker has never worked well. We constantly have water dripping down inside the ice maker. It either freezes on the bottom making it difficult to remove the bin for cleaning or it drips into the ice bin and turns the ice cubes into a frozen peanut brittle of ice. It’s a “premium” appliance that isn’t worth the box it’s shipped in.

Anyone know why the recall Samsung Facebook page was taking down?

I said it once and I will say it again: Electronics companies are simply NOT appliance manufacturers!😤

This may be a dumb question, but why are there sooo many magnets on the rfidge, These new fridges have so many computerized components. I fix computers and the main thing you keep away from computers are MAGNETS, this could be messing with the fridge. Surprised the fridge repairman didn't say something about this.

Magnets will only harm a magnetic hard drive, possibly erasing data. Typically, electronic components are okay with a magnetic field. Now, a spark from static electricity could mess with the onboard computer however.

Don’t they have warranty?

I built a house n 2018 and bought a Samsung Refrigerator and Stove. I had to replace both because they quite frankly were very expensive junk you can't get parts for. Did I mention getting parts is nearly impossible too?

Use your credit card insurance for extended warranty. Few people do know that they are covered for up to 2 additional years of warranty by using their credit card to pay for their appliances.

Pls help I have the same issue not cooling properly and will not come out of unlock stage

Our ice maker hasn't worked in over a year and it won't get any colder than 40 degrees Fahrenheit even though when you touch the screen on the door and it shows it's 36 degrees.

I'm glad I saw this, just brought a fridge, it was not a samsung and not an lg.

The main problem with Samsung refrigerators are they don't defrost adequately. I added a metal part to my defrost heater to extend the heat down into the drain tube. See fix it videos on youtube.

Do we know if any of these Samsung refrigerators are also a GE refrigerator? I know that companies make the refrigerator for other companies and just putting their name brand on them. I have a GE that looks exactly like these refrigerators so it just make me think it’s a Samsung with a GE label on it. I’m on my third repair with the same problems. HELP

I have a Samsung refrigerator and it started freezing over at 2 years. It freezes and produces an ice coating under the freezer. Water in the fruit and vegetable bins. Leaking under the refrigerator. The panel on the back of the refrigerator ( in the inside) freezes shut and the coils behind it freezes hard. It continues to do this and is only 4 years old. Have has repair men out over and over again. Basically they say it is poorly made and the insulation is faulty. So, I won't buy this brand of anything ever again. All service companies have the same believe that Samsung produces a very poor product.
