Soooo I made the mistake of assuming all the "Samsung bad" quirks had been worked out when I bought a set last year. Yeah, never again.
The microwave door handle just fell off at the 6 month mark. The repairman said the entire door needs to be replaced, since the handle isn't replaceable.
The "icemaker" in the fridge begin not working. Turns out, there is a part that is nothing more than a plastic icetray with a tiny electric motor on it, and it had cracked all the way through and was dropping water into the bucket, making a big ball of ice. That part costs over $100. It's an ice tray - a small one at that. It's primary function is you know, not cracking. It's now making weird noises and barely a year old, I don't expect it'll last long. Luckily I'm selling the house this year, I wonder if I should write in disclosures that "I bought Samsung. I'm so sorry."
Ditto on the fridge. Samsung one came with the house, it is the most awful piece of shit I've ever used.
The freezer door handle broke off. The ice maker encrusted itself in a ball of ice, which then got caught on the drawer when I opened it and tore the ice maker out. The rails on the freezer drawer are weak, so if it's completely full it sags and won't seal all the way. Everything inside thaws out.
The fridge occasionally won't maintain temp and I open it and stuff inside is basically room temp.
There isn't a single useful part of it that isn't fucked in some way or the other.
I genuinely can't believe they managed to screw up a refrigerator this bad. They aren't that complicated.
The handle breaking enrages me. Some moron decided to make the entire assembly out of metal, except the force-bearing part. Handlebar? Metal. Mechanism that the connector hangs onto? Metal. The actual connector that beats the force of opening the drawer? Couple of miles of plastic.
Whoever made that call needs a solid slap from one of those Icelandic giants
Ha! Same on the microwave door. All metal, even metal screws. But they are sunk into cheap plastic that just exploded one day when opening it. I've had 10 or so microwaves in my life, and never had the handle snap off one. Samsung managed to make one that does in under a year!
