SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted March 5, 2022 Posted March 5, 2022 Get the extended warranty 2 years ago I bought a Samsung Refrigerator w/Freeze on bottom Paid $200 - 300 for the warranty the ice maker had issues where it had a leak feeding the Ice Maker and the ice tray froze over. 4 service calls later it was deemed as unrepairable. a freaking leak ! I just got a buy back offer check is in the mail Purchase price plus taxes paid. i also get to keep the fridge. it will now go into the garage (where there isn’t a water source) to replace the crappy GE I replaced at the time cuz it had issues after 10 years $200 - 300 for the warranty = $2500 for a new and a 2 year old unit.

It’s nice when it works out! My advice? Never fall for the home warranty when you buy a house. We bought a house with an older AC unit I knew would fail. I argued to get the sales price down, and for a variety of reasons caved and accepted a home warranty instead. HOT GARBAGE! There was like a $200 deductible every time they showed up to top it off with Freon. They would top it off until the end of time, like several times a week, but it was clear there would NEVER be a replacement in my future. Here’s your NEW best advice: Never count on a home warranty to do you any good. 1 Quote

My dream is to build exactly what we want one day, but then I look at all the decisions in just a kitchen or bath remodel…..and I have second thoughts. 1 Quote

There's a whole FB group about those Samsung fridges. People are always asking in a Costco group I read what they think about Samsung appliances, and over 90% of the response are to stay away. 1 Quote
