We had a samsung side by side when we first moved here. It was one thing after the other. But we were told it was the economy fridge. So we bought another Samsung but French door. I loved it, it was huge which we needed. But then the middle drawer managed to cut the wire. I googled it and came across a FB group. I called Samsung and they agreed to a free repair. Turned out to be a big issue with Samsung. The FB group advised to put in a thermometer into the fridge. Turned out it wasn't keeping temperature and was the issue with my stomach trouble all those years between both fridges. I had so many tests, scopes and bloodwork. I called my GI specialist and told him about the fridge. Right away he told me to stop using it. After about two weeks of not using it all my stomach issues went away. It was out of warranty but thanks to the FB group I was able to fight samsung and got all my money back.
I wanted another French door and why I went through 5 GE's with Costco. I gave them a chance thinking maybe it was due to covid and the chip shortage. But even when the last one was finally delivered without being busted up it did not keep temperature either. I think it has something to do with the ice makers being inside the fridge. If it was in the ceiling of the fridge it would have been better but that model didn't come in the size I wanted.
So here we are with a Whirlpool side by side and not once does my alarm go off for bad temperatures. /knocks on wood.
