I own Samsung kitchen appliances. I will never make that mistake again.

Fridge: the coils in the fridge compartment freeze up, which is expected because, hey, thermodynamic laws. Hence the heater coil to melt the ice. Which would be fine, except that the little metal tab that is supposed to conduct heat into the drainpipe is too short, so the ice doesn’t melt, thus leaving the drain all plugged up, causing the ice water to overflow, eventually spilling out the fridge door and destroying your cork floor.

Dishwasher: fffuuuuuu… P.o.S. Piss-poor job of cleaning. Does a shit job of filtering food particles out, so they end up in the rinse water, and so end up crudding-up any contact points between dishes. I end up washing “clean” dishes by hand Every. GD. Time.

Oven: self-clean feature cooks the convection fan to death. Should be called self-destructive, not self-cleaning. Thankfully, the induction stovetop continues to work… for the time being.

I will never, ever purchase a Samsung product again.

I had the same problem with my Samsung fridge and while trying to fix it I stumbled upon the world of third party "samsung defroster clip" that you can find on online stores. Which suggests that the problem is so widespread to spin up a whole new industry for a 5 bucks piece of metal.

And shows that Samsung, despite hearing about this defect from every po’d owner, doesn’t care to change its manufacturing process to resolve the issue. Nope, they just keep on producing defective fridges.
