Me too. Managed to fix it myself with a $5 replacement part. It’s the metal clip that extends through the drain to keep it defrosted. It was too short and now they have replaced it with something larger.
I also have a Samsung induction stove which is fine except the electronics go haywire when you spray cleaner on the console. There’s a big gap at the bottom of the console and I guess liquid or vapour gets in there and shorts everything temporarily.
I have to wonder how much testing they do on these appliances before they release them.
interesting. I’m not so sure that was the issue though - ours collected water in the full width meat keeper drawer plus under that drawer on the bottom of the interior shell. as in soaking wet dish towels… if the drain was stopped up by freezing, the blockage had to be quite low in the system.
I had so many irks with that dang fridge, I was happy it quirked out. not happy at the cost of replacing it, but happy to see it go. I noticed when shopping for a new fridge that Samsung still has an exceeding similar aka identical ice maker set up - which just did not perform well in real life.
Thanks. So far I like the layout much better than the Electolux. That one was big with lots of unusable space. This is quiet with 2 small ice askers that don’t take up lots of room. So far my only gripe is that it does not indicate the actual temperature of the freezer/fridge, just the “target” temperature. To me, that makes no sense. I know what it SHOULD be set at, but to keep foods fresh I need to know what it IS. The other gripe is the shelves on the doors do not adjust for height. Other than that, there is a ton of room, it’s quiet and it’s pretty. Time will tell!
Our oven’s electronic controls went all wonky one day. It wasn’t that old and we were angry about it, but unplugging it for a couple of minutes set it straight. There’s something to be said for “shut up and reboot”._
That’s what I’m praying for. I’m a pretty good schmoozer!
But I was talking to a government person on the phone before,about something nothing to do with home appliances, and she has the same issues: Then she reminded me of cat and dog hair under the fridge causing an uproar. I went underneath and not too much of that, but tons of some kind of styrofoam hunks, that seem to have fallen off the innards…can’t wait to show them that when they get here!
I always had a thing against GE, my family lives up by the Hudson River, which they sort of polluted beyond repair, plus my grandmother went on strike while working for them the beginning of last century and got fired along with all her brothers and sisters…but I was so desperate after looking into the various brands that I went with it. Probably my grandmother punishing me from beyond
We haven’t had a chronic or irreparable equipment issue that prompted such advice, and so far save one, the service technicians have been helpful giving information as well as fixing the problem.
No water leaking from the bottom of the freezer on your side by side? Happened to our Kitchenaid, took the repair people 3 visits to realize it was a “motherboard” issue with defrost. Fixed and 2 yrs later the problem resurfaces. They don’t make them like they use to
Well, the only problem is that your electric bill is way higher, but you could spend that in repairs of a new one, ten times over. I, too, prefer a fridge that’s smart enough to keep things cold and well organized without breaking down.
