Kev144 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I've heard from some techs they won't work on lg or Samsung due to the complexity behind them and how poor they are. I'd avoid those two for the head aches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go on marketplace and buy used and when it shits out in 2 years at least you didn’t pay $$$$$$$ for it. True story. They used to be a 20 year purchase. Now its like right after warranty. We have a Maytag that came with the house when we bought it. Works fine, but been thinking about plonking a bigger higher end unit in the space when it shots out, but I hear they're not much better reliability wise.

Big Crappie Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Bunch a high rollers here I see. I buy the lowest price name brand I can find with ice maker. Our current Fridgidaire is 15 years old. I just replaced the ice maker a month ago. $60. I won't buy anything full of electronics until that is all that is available.

I'd avoid those two for the head aches We had no problem getting techs to work on our Samsung fridge, just none of them could make it work for more than a few months at a time. The kid at Home Depot says that its hard to get a local tech for their gas ranges though. He had a customer who waited months to get a repair on a 6 month old unit.

Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted October 25, 2020 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 25, 2020 Currently leaning towards a Bosch since it has the ice maker in the freezer and its a bit more money. We have a credit up to $4000 to find a replacement so I get fuck all back if I choose a $2000 unit. Might as well spend more and pay the difference.

Just read the reviews all Bosch models are not the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member ViperGTS/Z1 Posted October 25, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 25, 2020 Sounds like you made up your mind. Fwiw...Had a Samsung fridge in my prior residence for 7 years...no issues.Bought all new stainless steel Samsung appliances when I moved into my current house 7 years ago. Fridge, range/oven, microwave and dishwasher. All have been flawless except for the dishwasher.... lots of issues with draining and water level sensors. Drove me nuts and I replaced with a Kitchenaid that has been great. Maybe fridge will be shot at the 10 year mark but I plan on moving again before that time frame. Guess they dont hold up like the old Kelvinator that my parents had for over 30 years and continued to use as a spare in the basement for another 10 years or so before junking (still working but noisy). That being said, I do have a cheap compact Whirlpool fridge that I keep in garage and brought with me from prior residence that is now 14 years old and still working fine.....so I guess it's hit or miss for many.

I have a Whirlpool side by side with through the door water and ice. Nothing too sophisticated. I’ve kept the condenser clean which is crucial. It’s going on year 13. Three years ago it started making a high pitched whine. The whine lasted two weeks and went away after I pulled it away from the wall and repositioned some access covers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis and Butt-Head Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 get the LG with ice maker it even makes clear ice golf balls shaped for your drinks, its badass and its also under 4K at best buy. but it would be over 4K if you decided to go with extended warranty options.

The winter when I did the kitchen reno. 36 wide . B36ct80sns. Been really happy with it. Dead quiet, ice maker has stayed working, has 2 compressors ,1 each for fridge and freezer. Only thing I mght change is to get the 4 door version that has the same layout inside, just allows the main vegetable drawer to be opened without opening the doors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done some work on those for others, nothing real hard to do, one Samsung kitchen oven had the control module acting up, was a simple plug & play system same as most hi end appliances.

I've decided i hate the bottom Freezer. I think I am going side by side on my next one. I also hate the middle drawer the wife wanted. It's just a collection spot for kids drinks now.

Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted November 3, 2020 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 3, 2020 After much discussion and screaming matches, the wife and I finally hashed out the new appliances. She got everything she wanted and I got a drawer for myself in the fridge and a $12000 invoice....lol Fridge and range are GE Cafe series, black with gold handles. Dishwasher is black regular GE. The guy working the appliance section at Home Depot was great. Well educated on the brands and features, helped us out a bunch on price. He spent 2 hours with us and then helped at customer service with the credit stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
