1 PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU NOT TO BUY THIS!!

i like the looks of this refrigerator. that is it. we have lost a freezer full of food three times. twice after it was "repaired". not only does the freezer not work properly, the refrigerator gets as warm as 60 degrees. we were made to have a repair person come to our house 5 times. i didn't have a refrigerator for 2 months before samsung decided we could have our money back. now that we are getting a refund, samsung thinks it's okay for their customers to have to pay to have their refrigerators disposed of. they know it is such a dud refrigerator, they aren't even going to come and pick it up. the biggest problem with this refrigerator? samsung knows it is defective & they are still selling it. so unhappy and disappointed. i will never buy another samsung anything.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

1 Fridge and freezer stopped working after one week

We purchased this fridge just over a week ago. At some point over the last day, the fridge and freezer both stopped cooling. The temps inside the fridge and freezer displayed 3 and -18 but when I put a thermometer inside the actual temps were 21 and 3, respectively. Everything in the fridge had spoiled and everything in the freezer defrosted. We had to manually unplug it for it to start working again and are now waiting for a Samsung service technician to come. Nothing is being done to reimburse for all the food that was spoiled as a result. For a brand new fridge that was just purchased over a week ago, extremely unhappy with the reliability.

1 stopped cooling

The fridge stopped cooling. The display said 3 C and -18 C. But the fridge was warm and ruined food. The fridge is only 28 days old... I unplugged it 5 mins and back in it started working again. But Really... This is not acceptable.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

1 What a DUD!

We purchased this unit from Costco and after about 5 months of use, it just stopped cooling and we lost a full fridge/freezer of food. It's like the compressor wouldn't turn on. We were told it happens with this unit and to unplug and plug back in. It started working again but after two days is not working again... To say we are frustrated is an understatement. There is no way we can recommend this product and are waiting to see what Samsung is planning on doing for us. I do not want this fridge anymore and would prefer if they replace it with a comparable model at no additional cost to us. We lost a lot of food because of this issue, something I have not experienced with an appliance, ever. It's not worth the risk in my opinion and Samsung needs to address this issue as based off the reviews, it's a common issue with this fridge. We are still within a year of owning it so thankfully we should be covered but I don't want them to try to fix, they need to just replace it as fixes aren't working long term based off reviews. Not worth the hassle.
