Refrigerator recommendations!

Junker2327 — Sun, 16 Nov 2014 06:11:04 GMT

I currently have a Samsung French door with ice maker in door and bottom freezer. It was five years old in April 2014. It has crashed. Had a tech out and he said basically for what it would cost to repair, you might as well get a new one. There was no refrigeration in it at all. I called Samsung and ask them if they would give an extension on warranty since the warranty ran for five years and it was just April. Of course, they told me there was nothing they could do to help me. This frig was very expensive. My DH is an Air conditioning repair man. He took the frig apart, There is no leaks anywhere that he can see so he says he thinks its in the walls of the frig. I am pretty angry with Samsung right now. A frig should last longer than 5 years. Its just myself and DH so in clean perfect condition otherwise. What do you friends on here recommend for a good refrigerator.\

Thanks

I'd be interested in this too. Just started looking around. Need to replace my Whirlpool side-by-side. I think I want to got with the French Door.

I saw a pretty good deal on Costco.com today for the Whirlpool 4 door French Door. It looks really, really nice. But...I am not sure about Whirlpool?

Obviously, Samsung is out, LOL. (not laughing at you, or your situation, just glad I read this so I can scratch that off my list).

Check out LG.com and filter by ""highest rated""; there's some really cool (no pun intended) ones!

Samsung seems to be very difficult to repair. My friend had a Samsung washer, repairman would not even touch it, had to buy new one, got LG. I recommend Whirlpool or Frigidaire.

Mine is an Amana with french doors. No ice maker.

Thanks everyone! I am going to take a peek at the other thread and look at those comments also. Hate to have to get a new one this time of year. They are so expensive.

I have a Samsung side by side and my only regret is the refrigerator side doesn't hold as much as the old plain refrigerator (with the freezer up top).

I would hate to think it isn't going to last the 18 years my other one did (which is still going in another house!)

I would write a letter to the Better Business Bureau and let Samsung know you're going to. Send them a copy of it first. You'd be surprised how they react to people taking them to task.

I think it's pure luck. I have an Amana with a bottom freezer. It's almost nine years old and hasn't had any issues. My neighbor had the same one and hers died years ago. She replaced it with the same model and she hasn't had any issues.

I am seriously looking at a Whirlpool 36" wide 4 door. Does anyone have experience with one? As the sale ends within a week, I'd be very appreciative of any input. Thanks in advance.

My personal decision is to buy moderately priced refrigerators and then not feel bad if they only last a few years. I go for the basic, no frills model, and only buy GE and Whirlpool.

NEVER again would I buy any SAMSUNG product. I had my 2nd one delivered (1st one a dud) french door style this March, 2015 -- the repairman has been here 3x's and no answers. And their CS is even worse!!! I should have returned it when I could and gotten a Frigidaire or something else (not GE I see they have poor reviews)!

I have a Figidaire side by side and an LG with bottom freezer- love them both, but would never buy another side by side- ice maker and drink dispenser take up what precious little room is in a side by side freezer...If you do, you need a spare refrigerator...which, luckily, I have

knock wood, Both have been reliable and both are in the 10 year old range...

Same problem you have described with Samsung. We bought my daughter the french door w/ice maker. Fridge makes loud noise and freezes up. Look online - there is a class action suit about this. I wouldn't recommend Samsung.
