      I purchased a Samsung refrigerator, model RF32CG5100SR, just one year and five months ago. Without any warning or clear reason, the fridge has completely stopped working. This is unacceptable for a major appliance that is expected to last for many yearscertainly more than just 17 months.This model is advertised as a large-capacity refrigerator, yet from what Ive now researched and experienced, it appears to be equipped with a motor that is underpowered for its size. This design flaw raises serious concerns about the reliability and engineering behind the product. A large fridge with a small, struggling compressor is a recipe for early failureand thats exactly what happened.A refrigerator that fails in under two years is not a quality product; it's a piece of garbage and should not be sold in the **** market. Consumers should be able to trust that an essential and expensive appliance like a fridge will last at least 3 to 5 yearsideally ********* make matters worse, Samsung does not offer a courtesy diagnostic unless the appliance is under warranty. This policy is unreasonable. When a known issue or premature failure occurs, the manufacturer should take responsibilityat minimum by providing a one-time courtesy inspection or diagnostic.I am extremely disappointed with this purchase and with Samsung's support response. I am requesting:A free diagnostic of the refrigerator to determine the cause of the failure.A path toward repair or replacement, given the unacceptable short lifespan of the appliance.Samsung needs to stand by its products and treat customers with the respect and support they deserve.

      At the end of April 2025 my 4 year old autist daughter broke her tablet screen. I filed a claim with samsung care and sent the tablet in to be repaired under warranty. Her claim was cancelled days later and upon calling I was told because I had the wrong serial number on claim. This was corrected 5/2/25 and a new correct claim filed. The tablet has yet to be returned to us. I have called multiple times and been told multiple different things regarding the repair. I have ask and demanded the tablet be returned to us as this is something my daughter requires. They continue to be vague telling me they will escalate the concerns and ticket etc. I want my daughters tablet returned so I can get it fixed immediately locally or they need to replace her tablet and refund me for the so called warranty.

      We purchased a Samsung French-door refrigerator, model RF28JBEDBSG/AA, in 2017. Within a few years, it has required two non-wear-related ***airs: one for a defective chill drawer which Samsung acknowledged as a known issue, and fixed at no cost. Now a second failure of the internal ice maker. Local technicians informed us that this model was part of a class action lawsuit (In re Samsung Ice Maker Litigation, No. 2:17-cv-01263, D.N.J.) involving widespread defects in Samsung ice makers.Reports show Samsung once offered free ***airs and even a lifetime warranty on the ice maker but quietly ended the program during the lawsuit process, with a settlement reached in December 2023. When I contacted Samsung in May 2025, the *** confirmed the program had existed but was discontinued after alleged customer notificationpossibly by email. We never received such notice, and Samsung could not provide any proof.Samsung now offers only a $300 discount toward a new refrigeratoreffectively forcing us to pay again for a product that previously included a feature they once ***aired for free. This ice maker defect is not isolated. News ***orts and legal filings document ongoing customer complaints, recurring failures, and Samsungs refusal to cover known issues.For reference, supporting source links are included below: ********************************************************************************* ********************************************************************************************** *********************************************************************************************************************************** ********************************************************************************************************************************************** ********************************************************************** This pattern reflects a known defect, quietly dropped warranty support, and a burden shifted to consumers without proper notice.

      We purchased a Samsung Model RF23M8070SR/AA, S/N 093K43BM100126E refrigerator with an ice maker that has never functioned properly. The ice maker leaks water onto the floor when dispensing and either produces very little crushed iceeven when set to cubedor forms large, solid blocks of ice that wont dispense at all. Samsung has sent technicians to replace components three times, but the issue persists. During the last visit, the technician advised us to hire someone else, stating they were unable to fix it. We then paid an independent handyman to apply a seal around the ice maker, but the problem continues.We are unable to use the ice maker at all, and the repeated service attempts have failed to resolve the issue. We are requesting that Samsung replace the refrigerator entirely.

      Purchased a brand new fridge on 3/5/25, which was delivered on 3/12/25. The fridge broke down on the evening of 5/16/25 and is no longer working. It is warm and the food inside has all spoiled. The food in the freezer has melted and gone bad. We have a 1 year old and need a working fridge for milk and food. We contacted Samsung about this issue on 5/19/25, since we could not reach anyone over the weekend, and were told that it was not under warranty, which is incorrect since it was just purchased. Once that issue was corrected we had to wait 24 hours for their system to update before filing a claim and asking for service for repair. We scheduled the service appointment on 5/20/25 for 5/23/25, which was the soonest they would come to our home. Today (5/21/25), we were told that the part that is needed for repair is out of stock indefinitely and our service appointment was canceled. Since then we have been given the runaround. We were told that we are not eligible for a refund or replacement after less than 3 months of owning the fridge, and when the issue was escalated to the refunds team we were told they can not talk to us yet and will call us back today with a decision on the matter, but they never did. Any subsequent calls for updates have been mysteriously disconnected or left off the hook with a weird static background noise.

      I purchased a Samsung refrigerator 3 years ago. Immediately the ice maker stopped working. Samsung replaced the ice maker only for it to stop working a few months later. They replaced it again. Once again a few months later it stopped working. This time they required that I pay for the labor but that they would send the part free of charge. Now 5 months after that repair it has stopped ******** issue is that Samsung knows there is an issue with their Ice maker design but refuses to correct the issue. Looking online, I see that almost every ice maker sold by Samsung has issues. They continue selling a defective product.

I received an email this morning May 21st that states, "We have checked and found that, the issue created is still unresolved.

      I bought a Samsung tv from ****** that came with warranty. Samsung was contacted and techs came out to see if they can resolve the issues. Tv has a low piercing frequency noise that causes pain to my kids when playing the Ps5. The tv has a game mode option. when used for playing games on Ps5, the low piercing frequency noise is heard. When off, its gone. Tv was bought to be used to play with the Ps5. The game mode option on the Tv was the selling feature. it allowed console to use VRR, HDR, and others functions. 6 Techs came out and replaced parts on the tv and the low frequency noise was still there. They then went into my Ps5 setting without my permission and messed around with my settings. They never asked me if they could they just did and i then thought to myself why are they but didnt say. At the end of the day after 6 techs, they blamed the Ps5 and its settings for the issue. Millions of people have the ps5 and use it. the setting on the ps5 is to be used if needed or want. no where does it say on the tv or ps5 that setting are not to be used on each other. Especially Samsung tv. had i known that this would be an issue then i would have bought a diff tv that was compatible with consoles. Samsung now says dont use the setting or the settings is causing the issue. The tv has the options to use and when i use it, thats when the noise comes on. They have refused to replace the tv with one that is compatible or refund my money in order to buy anther one. The techs calls samsung tech over the phone and the same guy has blamed the ps5 and states they have done everything they can and replaced parts and nothing else can be done. why not acknowledge that the tv has issues when the tv is in game mode and can not be used on Ps5

      Samsung Refrigerator stopped working. Called in a technician for help. Technician came and said it was the internal seal system that was not working. Technician came on Thursday, May 15, 2025 at 1:45pm from **********, a company called Service Quick that was sent from Samsung Repair. His name is *****, is the repair technician was sent to my home to look at the refrigerator. He took pictures and documented what he saw of the issue. He agreed it was the internal seal system and it would be covered under the 5 year warranty as stated in the Samsung Refrigerator manual. Service technician, Sadik, came back again on Tuesday, May 20, 2025 at 1:50pm, looked at the fridge and said he has to make a phone call. He had the other person from Samsung on speaker and said that the pictures show damage done to the refrigerator and do to the damage done the warranty is now voided. When I asked how much to fix out of pocket, i was given a price of $1500 or so. At this same time my husband was on the phone and heard this conversation. After I hung up with my husband, I then called Samsung right away. *****, the technician was out of my home before 2pm, less than 10 minutes. On the phone with Samsung, they kept to their story and said our refrigerator is no longer under warranty do to the damage done to the copper pipes in the fridge, Calling this damage cosmetic. Said damage is done by the sulfur in our water. We do not run water through the refrigerator because of the hard water we have, living in the country. we buy our ice and water from the store. I have asked for the copy of the photos and the documentation from Samsung and Service Quick, no one from either company will provide me the pictures or documentation done on my product. I feel like this is a scam and Samsung needs help responsible.
