Not a Samsung. My wife used to be a big fan, but the last two brand new Samsung fridges broke within weeks, and their product support was terrible.
(Our current fridge is LG and we haven’t had any problems with it. There are probably other brands that are also reliable and well built).
Just be aware, LG’s linear compressors (ie. the ones that claim a 10yr warranty) are prone to failure; ours crapped out after ~3 years and was deemed uneconomical to repair.
Thankfully we have pretty strong consumer protections in Australia (and I expect similar, or better in the EU for OP); so we ended up getting a full refund from the retailer which we ended up putting towards a Hitachi model, after way too much research.
Thanks, we’re coming up on three years for this fridge, so now I know what to expect. (Also in Australia). We bought this particular fridge not because of brand, but because we’re renting and the kitchen has a stupid cutout space between cabinets and this is the only fridge that fits.
We’re likely in a similar boat, due to the size of our fridge nook. We had the LG 530L French Door Fridge Stainless Steel GF-B505PL previously, that the compressor failed in.
I’d you aren’t already, you should be pulling the fridge out every six months or so and cleaning behind it to keep the compressor free from dust bunnies.
We managed to just squeeze in a Hitachi 638L 4 Door French Door Fridge in the same space, even though it juts out by ~10cm - the added 100L capacity (and bonus unplumbed ice maker) was worth the trade-off.
How does that work? Do you just pour water into it or is it fancier than that?
Yeah, that’s basically it - there’s a small removable filter/container in between the two vegetable drawers that you fill up with water.
It then pumps the water into an ice tray in the freezer, and dispenses ice into a tray every few hours.
Edit - it looks like this:
Now I have ice maker envy 🙄
Thanks, appreciate that.
