Public Service Announcement: Samsung or LG Fridge Problems? Great Solution on E-Bay

I report. You decide.

I heard at one point, several years back, that the availability of repairs services for the Korean brand appliances are extremely limited. No clue if that's still the case. I went with Made in America Whirlpool appliances when we bought our house 5 years ago and they've been mostly fine other than a having to replace the freezer LED a couple times (which also makes the refrigerator lights quit working).

We've got a nice Samsung (Frame) TV, but wouldn't touch their appliances with a ten foot pole. I also hate Kia and Hyundai.TurdBomber said:

Skimped a little on the fridge in comparison, and bought it at Lowes, but still spent over 3k. And many friends had bought Samsungs and loved them at the time, and the French Door style rocks. I hate throwing out anything when 95% of it is still fine, and we throw enough shit into landfills already, so.......
Fuck You, Greta! I did my part!

I think this is true. Hence, my E-Bay discovery and satisfaction with the Utah based garage repair shop that rebuilt my "motherboard" essentially.BleachedAnusDawg said:I heard at one point, several years back, that the availability of repairs services for the Korean brand appliances are extremely limited.

<$100 and it runs like new. -
Yeah, totally used to shit on them, too. We bought a Telluride a year ago (after a 10 month wait on our order) after seeing it win a ton of awards from car mags. Has been a great family rig so far and the dealer included a 20 year, 200k mile warranty. Probably will need a big dick Suburban or something in 5 years, anyways.YellowSnow said:

When we bought our house it had a Speedqueen washing machine in it. Looks like something I used in a laundrymat 20 years ago while at UW. I said "WTF is Speedqueen," but didn't bother replacing it since it worked and we had to replace all the other appliances. Still runs like a champ and the wife says it works great.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:My first TV & VCR we’re both Samsung and I fell in love with the brand and the quality. I haven’t owned a non Samsung TV since 2008 at least and no problems with any of them.
When we bought our current home, the previous owners put all Samsung appliances in the kitchen and the washing machine was a newer Samsung as well. The dryer was and still is an old school Kenmore; 2 dials and a button and that motherfucker works.
In 2020, I bought a townhome as a rental property and had to put a washer & dryer in there so I went to an appliance store and the guy recommended Hotpoint. Said the specific set was basic but very sturdy and dependable.
Fast forward to 2 months ago and the Hotpoint washer stops working. I take a look and follow the advice of every IT help desk and turned it off and on again. Worked for another day and then crapped out. Call my appliance repair guy and as soon as he sees it, says “oh you got one of these cheap Chinese made ones” before looking at it to see the motor is leaking oil and trashed.
He tells me I’m better buying a new one than trying to repair the Hotpoint so I ask for recommendations. He said Speedqueen and I think either Whirlpool or Maytag - 1 of these brands is now a Chinese company that also produces Hotpoint and the other is still good quality.
Back up to my Samsung washer which Mrs Nacho did not like so the Samsung went into the rental and Mrs Nacho got a brand new Speedqueen. In just under 2 months, she’s told me probably 8 times how much she loves the new washer.
Regarding my other Samsung appliances, the dishwasher sucks, the fridge is ok and the stove/microwave do the job but I’m not buying any Samsung appliance going toward.
Goddamn, I just wrote a @Tequilla style about appliances. Fucking shoot me. -
Your praise of the Telluride has me intrigued if I decide to go with an SUV as my next car.BleachedAnusDawg said:

What’s the max passenger weight capacity? Hopefully well over 600 lbs. -
Not sure about payload, but it can tow 5,000 lbs with the tow package (which we did get) so worst case just strap your fatass to a trailer and have someone chauffer you around.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:

My wife bought me a Samsung 4k for my birthday
Awesome picture -
I'm sure they're fine, but I'm resistant to change on cars. I only buy Axis brand cars excluding Italy.BleachedAnusDawg said:
