The locals think we're nuts, but we took the garbage disposal out.  Apparently it's a very American thing.  Never had one in Canada and hubs moved all over the place as an expat kid and never encountered one until he moved here.  

Interestingly they are practically non-existent in New York City! It is a very American thing, I've never seen one outside the States.

I don't think I know anyone in Canada with one either.

Yes I have and it took a lot of days of him washing dishes to understand we needed a dishwasher. That and I ripped out the spot and left a hole so he had to do it by then

Do not trifle with, dismiss, or leave dirty dishes for the fearsome D ma'am, no man!

I found out by putting in a thermometer in my fridge that it does not keep proper food temperatures. It goes above 42 degrees for over 2 hours FDA says danger zone My fridge is set at 34 it's as low as it will let me set it. 

 

GI specialist finally emailed me back. He said it was not likely the cause of my gastritis but it can make things worse. Told me to buy a new fridge. 

 

My so called specialist at the office of the president and ghosting me. Will not answer calls, send it straight to VM.

Do not irk, off-urinate, or de-refrigerate the fearsome D ma'am, no man!

My fridge has been staying in the danger zone more then the safe temperature zone. The tech wants me to pay now for Samsung defective fridge. Ya not happening. Time to tell Samsung to pay up, I'm pass  30 days  with a fridge not working per of the Magnusson Moss act they owe me a full refund.

All depends.  Reliability isn't what it once was; I don't anticipate my appliances lasting like my grandparent's 40yo refrigerator.  Additionally, the volume of certain appliances that are sold must be considered.  Samsung dominates the market with over 31% of US market share for refrigerators. I'm by no means defending them (I have a faulty ice maker on my fridge), but understanding that numbers of complaints are going to be higher simply due to the sheer volume is important, too.   

 

Everyone RAVES about Bosch appliances.  I had a Bosch dishwasher and HATED it.  Sure, it was quiet, but the thing didn't wash the dishes for anything.  It had one of the stupid recalled wiring boxes that burned up and nearly burned my house down, despite being changed.  Unsurprisingly, they are still selling those stupid boxes to wire the dishwashers with.  My dad had one too and didn't think it was all that and the cat's pajamas, either.  My new dishwasher is a Kitchen Aid and it is far superior to the Bosch, but we'll see how long it lasts!

 

The lemon law is great to know about.  I need to look further about the ice maker as there are a bunch of class action lawsuits.  I don't care that it's broken, but I do care that I can't seem to get the parts to fix the damned thing and I shouldn't have to endure that repair charge if the engineering was garbage to begin with. 

Slightly funny story.  Back in 2004, I was living in mid-Michigan and was a member of my local volunteer fire department.  Well, at that time, they were building a new fire hall for us and the chief told us we could not move the 1954 International Harvester refrigerator to the new station we used to keep our soda and water cold.  Anyway, the chief went out of town for the weekend, so six of us got together and loaded up the fridge on my truck and moved it to the new fire hall.  Initially the chief was pissed, but he eventually relented.  I can attest that the fridge is still working to this day nearly 70 years after it was manufactured.

These guys knew how to manufacture many things VERY well.

My fridge saga continues.  8 and a half hours the fridge was at 43.7  through the night ya that is not the the auto defrost cycle. 

 

Filed another BBBNJ complaint demanding a full refund. I'm done getting sick with this fridge. 

 

 

Oh my BBB complaint against the roofers has movement. Head inspector from Oklahoma will be here tomorrow at noon. First thing I'm going to tell him is that I had 2 different inspections of this roof so he better not make excuses. I already know everything that is wrong with it. I'm going after a full refund plus damages to the house, as I have to pay again to get a new roof. 

[TBoneTX 45,076]

Do not irk, under-refrigerate, or unroof the fearsome D ma'am, no man!

[millefleur 5,046]

Random aside but I fixed the garbage disposal myself. Turns out there's a handy dandy "reset" button on the bottom. I pressed that and now it works. Who knew?!
