I purchased a dishwasher on June 30, 2024. It has a 1 year warranty. 1 week ago it stopped working and gave a error message. I contacted samsung and they sent a technician out. The technician did not have the right part and said they would have to reschedule to fix. he told me but you are all good it is a heating censer so it is covered under the warranty. 2 days went by and no one contacted me about rescheduling so I called them. They called me back the next day and said it is not covered under the warranty due to infestation. i asked what that meant and they said it would be rats , mice , termites. I do not have any of those things. The technician did not say any of that they just don't want to fix it. because my warranty is almost up.Business Response

Thank you for contacting Samsung Electronics America, Inc. We appreciate the opportunity to respond to your inquiry. Samsung has reviewed Ms. ******** complaint related to her Samsung dishwasher. Our records show the agent assigned to the claim spoke with Ms. ****** on 5/27/25 to discuss the case. Our records further show the agent explained to Ms. ****** that the technician deemed the dishwasher with infestation and as such, was unable to proceed with the repair. The agent further explained to Ms. ****** that before they can set up service again for the dishwasher, she will need to provide a work order from a certified exterminator confirming that the infestation has been addressed but she disconnected the call. Please be advised that infestation can cause many intermittent issues and continued failure of the product and any type of infestation (insects/rodents) entering the unit resulting physical damage and unfortunately, this type of damage is not covered under Samsung's warranty. Regrettably, due to the dishwasher being deemed with infestation, there are no accommodations for this claim. Thank you for contacting Samsung Electronics America, Inc.Initial Complaint

The stoves burners randomly surge from low to high heat, making it unsafe and unusable. When a ********** finally came, performed only a visual inspection while following instructions from someone on the phone. He even brought out a heat gun that wasnt working, yet he still reported to Samsung that he had tested the burners and confirmed they were working correctly. That never happened, and his false report caused my repair tickets to keep getting canceled without my knowledge.For over three months, I was given false promises that another ********** would be scheduled, but no one ever called me back. I received confusing emails, departments calling with no knowledge of the issue, and endless runaround. Eventually, after nearly four months, a second ********** arrived. His explanation made no sense. He claimed the range was a commercial unit and required specific pots and pans. He also said that if the burner k*** was on the * in *ow, the heat would stay low but if it was on the * in *ow, it could surge to high heat. He left without doing anything further no diagnosis, no resolution Then one of my main burners completely stopped working. I contacted Samsung again, hoping that now I would finally get some real help. But the phone call led nowhere it felt like I was back to square 1. So I started asking questions to see what information Samsung even had: what notes were on file, what the **********s had actually reported, and whether they could even explain the issue Ive been reporting all along. Thats when I discovered the extent of the false information in their system. I explained this clearly to the representative, but instead of offering a solution, she offered to send yet another **********. I agreed one final time out of desperation, and she promised the service center would contact me in 12 business days to schedule the visit.Its been over a week, no one has called. I'm right back in the same cycle of broken promises and misinformation.Business Response

We purchased a Samsung Bespoke 30 CF refrigerator (model # RF30BB660012AA) from Lowes Home improvement on 10/8/23. It catastrophically failed on 5/8/25, determined by a Samsung certified repairman on 5/15/25. It has a "Sealed System Failure" known to Samsung that cannot be fixed and the units are still being sold. After several phone calls across several departments, much time away from work and effort to get the unit replaced, we have no refrigerator while this is being settled and do not have the funds to buy another one at this value. Samsung is only willing to tentatively reimburse the cost of the refrigerator. Samsung ticket # **********. They want us to agree to a tentative offer that they say can change up until final approval. So, we would be agreeing with some unknown amount that Samsung can decide after we sign off on it. They could decide to give us nothing. We are seeking reimbursement for the cost of the refrigerator ($1899.05), Lowes protection Plan ($234.97), Delivery fee ($29.00), Cost of lost food in excess of Samsung's standard $300, Disposal fee (or unit pick up), and costs for meals we had to eat away from our home. In total, to make this right, we are looking to be reimbursed in the amount of $3263.02. I think this is reasonable due to the time we have taken away from work to initiate phone calls, find alternative ways to store cold foods, and frustration with a process that should be very easy if the company was interested in good customer service and making quality products.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
We are currently in contact with our Samsung representative.
We are hoping for a resolve but have been given false information on multiple
occasions. In response to this agent’s BBB post, Samsung failed to follow
through with the exchange accommodation. Being without an essential appliance
has taken a toll on our physical and financial health. The amount of hours
spent in communication with Samsung and the bait and switch that has taken
place multiple times has taken a toll on our mental health. After multiple
unsuccessful attempts of trying to find a mutually beneficial resolution we
were forced to settle for the offer of exchange of a refrigerator with a known
failure of the Twin Cooling System. Due to no fault on our part, Samsung reneged
on the exchange due to their internal policies and constraints. On average, approximately 48 hours goes by before
they advise us their latest resolve is now voided. Each time they have failed
to follow through with their resolution. After all these weeks, we are still
without a refrigerator.
