Kenmore Elite Maytag Samsung or other french door refrigerator?
Comments (3)Icemakers thru the dooor generally have 2 major drawbacks - they take up precious room in prime space and they are more prone to breaking. That said, they obviously are popular because everyone offers them I have posted positively here about the Samsung FD fridge (highest customer satisfaction 3 years in a row from JD Powers) but the model we have has the ice maker in the bottom freezer. I am 6'3" tall - and find it suprisingly accessable. Wasn't sure at first how I would like it but my whole family loves it. We just open up the bottom freezer and use the provided scoop to pick up some ice. Actually easier for us now than it was with our old side by side fridge even before the thru the door ice maker on the old KA side by side broke twice So don't be put off by the icemaker in the bottom. Check out the different units and get a feel for how accessable they may be...See MoreFrench Door Refrigerator: LG or Samsung?
Comments (28)Well I have a lg french door 24.7 refrigerator and it's been a joy to own so far. The doors close via hydraulic assist, the led lights actually illuminate every shelf unlike the ge profile with single cluster at the top of the fridge. The ice maker makes ice, never seen it without any ice and we use it every day. Speaking of the ice dispensor I really love the stainless steel switch, other are cheap plastic, and the two bright led lights that actually illuminate the dispensor area so you can actually see your cup. The doors are solid, the ge felt strange and the door handles flexed on it as did the sears units I looked at. I bought mine a hhgregg and also got the 5 year extended warranty just in case but so far the only thing I've done is change a water filter. Speaking of filters lg changed the model to a new upgraded filter so keep that in mind if you want to replace it and don't see the one listed in the manual. I also have to say that lg has been fantastic for me with their steam washer and dryer that I also have, the red units on pedestals with the green led panels. They wash and dry effectively and the led lights in the tub so you can see your laundry at the end of the cycle is a very nice touch. My experience with lg has been very good so far and I would not hessitate to buy another appliance from them. I did however skip their dishwasher in favor of the samsung unit because of the features that the samsung had....See MoreWhite french door refrigerator---Samsung or Kenmore?
Comments (4)The Samsung and GE look very similar, but if you compare the drawers and movements of the two, the GE sounds really flimsy. I've usually seen one of the drawers cracked on the GE, never on the Samsung. And, I really like the easy-open of the bottom freezer on the Samsung. Much better for my tender sciatic nerve! I'd initially rejected FD fridges after visits to appliance stores where I'd twice I'd left with a backache from pulling on the freezer door handles. ANd that was with the drawers empty! So, if you're young and healthy, either might do fine. But since my back injury 5 years ago, the Samsung is the only one that I could safely open....See MoreSamsung refrigerator problem
Comments (4)You are not alone in your issues with your fridge. you may be entitled to a refund despite what Samsung initially tells you. Please do not buy a Samsung fridge. Mine leaked 13 months after we bought it. it ruined my floor. it ices up in the back and under the bottom drawer. it ruins food on a regular basis. When you call consumer cares at Samsung, they will tell you it is a warranty issue. That is probably a lie. Samsung fridges have known design defects since 2006 and there are class action suits against them. Search on YouTube for "Samsung fridge recall" and you will find news stories about the thousands who have demanded reparation. if you bought a Samsung fridge, send it back or buy an extended warranty. Or, research other options to get refunded the money stolen from you when Samsung sold you a "lemon"....See MoreMatt Q
