I posted my full rant about my terrible experience with Samsung at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30424010 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30424010 if you want the full story, but in a nutshell, we had two Samsung Dishwashers and a Samsung Stove and a Galaxy Note9 all go out at an unrepairable level within a two-year period. And as for the Refrigerator and Microwave, they are still standing after two years but have major design flaws. They can't design a dishwasher that doesn't die within a year. At least Best Buy honored the warranties on them - twice.

This might not work in your case for various reasons but, if you live in California: “ LPT: If you live in California, manufacturers of most household electronic goods that sell for more than $100 have to provide spare parts for up to seven years, regardless of warranty status. If they can't make the parts available to you, they have to buy the product back from you.” https://www.reddit.com/r/LifeProTips/comments/p9nz0l/lpt_if_you_live_in_california_manufacturers_of/ https://www.reddit.com/r/LifeProTips/comments/p9nz0l/lpt_if_...

  Replace “www” with “old” in the url for a saner UI.

I briefly had a Samsung fridge. Total garbage. Impossible to clean without breaking stuff. Made weird noises. I have two theories. 1) Ignorance. Samsung's fridge team had never seen a fridge before. Certainly had never used or owned their own fridges. 2) Spite. Samsung's fridge team harbored a deep visceral hatred of all things fridge related. They despise each and everyone of their customers on a personal basis. They hate their occupation, their employer, each other, and themselves and work overtime to covertly sabotage all work products.
