I have a Kenmore washer and dryer I brought off Craigslist for $250 for the pair. Still going strong after 6 years though the dryer needs a new sillinoid.

Once it fills with water and drains, it starts the process all over again. I told the guy I spoke to yesterday that the think was acting all crazy and probably needed a new board too just for good measure. If it's under warranty and they are going to fix it for free, might as well get as much replaced as I can.

i don't think it was under warranty, but i found it as a known issue. i ended up going to parts direct.com or some thing and getting the suspension rod. its an easy fix, just have to take the top piece of the washer using a putty knife (or a kitchen knife like i did), then you;ll see the suspension rods which are easy to take off and replace.

It’s somewhat ironic that I just noticed this thread... We have a two year old working Samsung W&D but just purchased a new Maytag W&D because various parts of the Samsung are leaving rust stains on all the clothes. The metal under the lid (especially around the beach fill and detergent fill) has rusted out like an old Volkswagen. This is strange since we don’t even use liquid bleach. Unfortunately, I will never purchase another Samsung appliance. I am hopeful that the Maytag holds up a bit better, but in today’s world of disposable appliances, I don’t have high expectations. I can’t help but think back to the old Kenmore W&D my parents had when I was growing up that was still working strong after 18+ years when they sold the house.

Samsung fridge with bottom load freezer. Nothing but issues.

LG washer dryer and fridge since 2014: not a single issue.

In Australia, there's a particular model that has been catching on fire.

Appliances across the board aren't overly reliable however these guys have a decent handle on the problem children. My advice is buy floor models.

I haven't heard of the rust issues but it doesn't surprise me. What bothers me is that I had a really nice Kenmore washer and dryer that I never a problem with when I "upgraded" to this samsung set. In 4 years of owning these, I have had more service issues with this set than I have ever had with any washer and dryer in my entire life.

this does not surprise me at all. I have a friend who has purchased 3 refrigerators in the past few years.

WOW! That scares the shit out of me! Having an issue with an appliance is one thing but when it becomes a fire hazard or has the potential to cause property damage is concerning.

I have this fridge:

Seems to be ok so far (about 1 year ownership)

The only thing that gets a bit annoying is sometimes the compressor will buzz.

While we're also talking about refrigerators, I've had nothing but problems with GE. Both of my current homes I bought new construction. Of course the builder only had GE appliances to pick from. My primary home had a GE side by side. Nothing but problems with the ice maker. From the flapper not closing properly to plastic bits being dumped with the ice from some part in the ice maker. The final straw was when the thing stopped cooling. It got replaced with the GE double door/bottom freezer unit I have now which I've already said previous is really a Samsung and the issues I have with it.

My other home also has a GE side by side as part of the builder appliance package. That thing took the cake for the most problems I've ever had with any appliance. From condensation problems due to the flapper which got a modified part with a heater element, to door issues. The door had been replaced twice with the last door replacement so misaligned you can easily see it a few feet away. Fortunately my builder agreed I've done enough to try to repair this refrigerator and ordered a new one which so far has been running fine.

No problems with my Samsung appliances (touch wood)

GE is garbage. All of our appliances were brand new GE when we bought the house, and after 5 years of light use they literally all started crapping out at the same time. A neighbor who had his built around the same time with the same appliances has had a similar experience.

[TXSTYLE]

GE is well known to be problematic.

[zx10guy]

Agreed on the GE part. Except, I wanted to keep the brand/look of the appliance the same. That's why I bought this GE/Samsung refrigerator. Not going to worry about the brand matching thing again. I've already replaced the GE dishwashers at both places with a Bosch. Although I have to say the GE gas range and over the range microwave have been pretty solid. The microwave at my primary home did have to have the logic board replaced under warranty many many years ago but it's held up fine since then.

I don’t a Samsung washing machine but I have had a Samsung fridge. It was a total piece of crap! I will never own anything again by Samsung.

Update: Repair guy came today. Took my lunch and met him at my house. He was finished in under 45 minutes and it runs like a new machine again......for now.

[paimon.soror]

Not gunna lie, i had to stop and reread half way through because i saw:

"repair guy came today, took my lunch"

I was like "wow what an asshole"

I honestly had to retype that a couple of times. At first I typed "he was in and out in 45 minutes"

I work for a country club, I'm basically the unofficial assistant manager. Yeah I've got practice my technique of strapping loads down because it popped right out on a pothole

[dzvero]

not satisfied with my dishwasher ( few months old) , it is always wet after drying the dishes . It looks like steam got inside an hour after its done. Cant tell why . And the whole dish rack is a joke . Wouldn't by samsung except tv maybe

[stevenc]

^ Most modern dishwashers are high efficiency and do not dry the dishes the same as old dishwashers. They instead REQUIRE rinseaid to help sheet off water and dry the dishes.
