Our Samsung fridge bottom freezer ice dispenser stopped working. I determined the tube heater went bad, so the water line filling the tray was frozen. I removed the drawer, pulled the ice mechanism out, and cleaned it. A week later I had the parts, installed in fifteen minutes, never had another problem for two years. No need to thaw the entire thing.
Just like with cars, you just pay attention as you disassemble and it goes back without issue.

Appliances today are so frustrating! So much junk, so "energy efficient" which as far as clothes washers means your clothes will still be dirty when they come out. Dishwashers take 3 hours to finish. Good luck finding reliable brand since most are made by same chitty company. Then call repair shop and get "I don't work on digital control machines". That was nice you got an honest company. I still have a working old school clothes washer that fills to the top, has an agitator, and gets my clothes clean! Imagine that; clean clothes after being put in the machine! And I use hot water with a cold rinse.
Facts are stubborn things.

The appliance repair guy we use is amazing. Fast, reasonable, fixed right the first time. He's so busy with work he only travels within about an 8 mile radius from where he lives.
When we bought our new appliances 2 years ago during our remodel, he said "get the extended warranty on the refrigerator, but not on the other stuff." He was spot on with that. When our washer broke, he sold us a better (used) washer he had in his garage for less than it would've cost to fix ours.
Earning every penny of that moderator paycheck.

I won't buy anything that says Samsung on it. I watched IMdB programming through Amazon Prime a lot on my Samsung digital TV. Then suddenly I started getting an error message that my device won't support IMdB programming. After literally hours with both Amazon and Samsung, Samsung fessed up that they changed the configuration on my series TV. And their solution, I could buy a new Samsung TV as they had a special sale on at the time. I think I will go that route, I just have to find out when Hell is going to freeze over.

Just like with cars, you just pay attention as you disassemble and it goes back without issue. Just like cars they're not all the same model. Ice maker is in the top not in the bottom drawer. Heater tube is working. The reason for the thaw isn't the ice maker it's because the cooling coil in the refrigerator freezes up due to poor defrosting design and probably due to the location of the refrigerant line that runs up to the ice maker They said they even add an extra heating element and it doesn't help. They won't even sell an extended warranty on Samsung ref now. That's why there's a class action suit on these models. I had added insurance on my and it was declared unrepairable and insurance company refunded purchase price and tax. I was only out the $300 the insurance cost. Rep for insurance company said they got killed on these Samsung. Here's the models #'s covered if someone else got stuck with one. problem 2 & 3 is what my model had. https://upgradedhome.com/samsung-refrigerator-recall-list/

You need to find the small family owned appliance shops, they are still around but getting harder to find. I delivered a couple early B-Body's to a gentlemen in Tullahoma, TN who was able to buy his dream car through hard work and treating people right. If anyone in that area needs appliance repair, hit me up and I will give you his number. I still use a rolling dishwasher that hooks up to the sink, a Kenmore that I bought in 1987, still works like a dream! I am not the kinda guy who puts a nasty plate or pan in there, I always rinse them off first, no idea if it helps but I still have the same dishwasher. I keep fixing my Kenmore washer and drier also, parts are still available and easy to fix. Finally had to get a new gas stove 5 years ago, scratch and dent at Sears, same as the fridge. Now that all those stores are gone, I am going back to a campfire for cooking and an ice box for cooling when they die...LOL

i just want a SIMPLE appliance that does NOT have eleventybillion features............. You mean like automobiles also? I had to buy a used 2015 ST Ram 3500 so I didn't have all the bells and whistles. No power door locks or windows, rubber floor covering, am/fm, steel wheels, but I do have A/C. Miss the power windows and mirrors, but got used to them again. Would love to have appliances the same way, just no longer available...

Agree with another poster. Bought one of those fancy clothes washers. Piece of trash. My wife could do 2 loads a day. It spent probably 2 1/2 hours every load trying to balance itself. No aggitater in the middle. Clothes came out smelling really bad and my jeans were always dirty. It lasted all of 3 years before it wouldn't pump the water out. Junked it and bought a cheap $380 one that was old style. No problems in years. Don't believe the hype. No reason most of these appliances need all this whiz-bang crap. Just like our cars. Get rid of the worthless tech.

We have a couple good appliance guys. They don’t cover the same brands so I have two. The one could probably do all of it though. Both told me the lg and Samsung kitchen stuff is garbage that changes every part every few years so it’s hard to get things or no know what is going on with them. The lg washer and dryer is good though they agree, go figure. We’ve used them for years at different houses and different sets of them.
I want my fair share
