Samsung 343L Top Mount
Verified32 reviews
A great fridge in a great size – This fridge is a perfect size for a couple or small family. Not only does it look nice, but it also works well and may be the quietest fridge I've ever owned. I have never noticed it making strange noises or being loud. Show details · 1
Didn't last long enough – Worked fine for about 4 years, then fridge started being not cold enough. Defrosting helped for about half a year. Now it pretty much stopped cooling the fridge at all, however freezer still works. Can't really understand what's wrong as the compressor and fan work, but just no cold in fridge compartment anymore. No ice on the grill either. Show details
Unsatisfactory – My fridge is only 4 years old but the freezer liner has come away from the wall and is completely broken. It’s out of warranty but the repair man recommended by Samsung said he thought they would replace the fridge as he’d never seen one so bad. However Samsung won’t replace it.
Terrible – Do not buy this fridge It started making humming noises just after we bought it. The noises are getting louder. It drives me to distraction. Sometimes when it is running it makes popping a noise which sounds like it is trying to turn off but can't. It is always running and rarely turns off. Purchased 2021. Show details
Once the warranty is over it gets crappy – Bought this fridge in 2017 august, ongoing issues it doesn't cool, every time There is ice buildup near the deodorizing filter, and doesn’t cool.. we need to turn off the fridge for 5-6 for it to melt away and then it starts running again. Due to covid we did not want technician to come home. Called Samsung and was just advised it's out of… Read more
warranty. And the pcb and fan replacement will cost $450 better off getting a new one.. Reading from the reviews many are facing the same issues.. would never buy Samsung brand again, 3-4 years is the life of a fridge ? If you are buying this fridge, please make sure to get a 5 year warranty somehow.
Do not buy, terrible noise – i bought this refrigerator in 2016 for my first home with so much love, got the warranty of 4 years. After 3 years started making loud noice but we worked daily and use to come back home around 8 so we didnt get a chance to hear it often, instart of this year we were still in warranty and we were home during covid , we realised its almost making… Read more
loud noise for hours which you can even hear from other rooms. in covid we cannot have anyone at home to inspect as we were in Melbourne hardlockdown. after lockdown we contacted samsung and they refused to help us free od cost. i bought the fridge for $800 and it is not easy money, such expensive product should work fine atleast for 10 years since we really handle things with care.i didnt expect that samsung will not show the courtesy for covid even we were not so away from our warranty date. Terrible customer service as straightaway they say we cannot help without charge. such a big name n shame if they cannot change a bit during covid circumstances. I am also samsung phone user for years but i think now its time to switch.

Keeps Food Fresh Longer – The fridge and freezer are working as expected. I especially like the "Twin Cooling Plus" technology as I noticed my vegetables (spinach, herbs, tomatoes) do indeed keep longer than they did in my old fridge. My only complaint would be the noise. It's been a few months now since I got the fridge, but it is still making "settling in" noises. I need to call Samsung about it, but haven't had the time. Show details · 1
Fridge will break down in 3 years, ice will build up and won't cool anymore – Bought this fridge 3 years ago, and now it doesn't cool anymore. There is ice buildup near the deodorizing filter. Called Samsung and was just advised it's out of warranty. Reading from the reviews looks like Samsung fridges are not of great quality, would never buy Samsung brand again. Fridge makes a lot of noise, but we got used to it. If you are buying this fridge, please make sure to get a 5 year warranty somehow. Show details

Versatile fridge but with limited space – I originally purchased this fridge as I liked the idea of being able to convert the freezer into additional fridge space (I have an upright freezer). Unfortunately I have not been able to use this function as I have needed the additional freezer space. The fridge part is definitely lacking in space and would not be suitable for larger families. We… Read more
get by but I really have to think about what I am buying to make sure it will fit.
Getting past the small size though I find it to be a nice appliance. It comes with a large removable ice maker which is quite handy. It keeps food cool and fresh.
It does occasionally make some interesting noises but these don't really bother us - though it gave me a fright the first time I hear them in the middle of the night!
For the price I paid I am very happy with this purchase. The lack of size can be an issue but it runs well and that's what matters to me.
Early Gremlins – The fridge looks awesome with a surprising amount of space inside both the freezer and the fridge - a bit like the Tardis really. For the first month it worked beautifully and then the noise started. A slight humming noise gradually increased to a loud drone sound within a week, reminding us all of its presence as we try to sleep at night. yes,… Read more
this newcomer is needs attention STAT. The good news is we have the 5 years Gold service warranty and have been told it shall be fixed or replaced straight away. If not for the stowaway gremlin that came with the fridge, this rating would be at least a 4, maybe higher if right after my morning coffee.

Nice But Noisy – Bought this fridge one week ago and have been woken several times every night by the noises it makes when it runs and also by the slapping/popping noises. Not happy at all, should have kept my 30 year old Kelvinator! Started making these noises from brand new! Can anyone explain as these noises ?, can be quite loud and definitely not how a new fridge is to perform ! Would not buy this brand again. Show details
Keeps freezing over – Freezes over after a month of operation, then pools water at the bottom. Can only be resolved by thawing outside the house for 24hrs, but then the whole cycle starts all over again. Apparently endemic to Samsung fridges. Do not buy. Show details

Worst product I have ever bought – It can't cope with Australian summers. Has constantly frozen up big-time since I bought it, hence food doesn't last long. The fridge needs constant defrosting and ice removal. I have nothing good to say about it at all. And couldn't get hold of the company to try to fix it. Show details

Great little fridge – The fridge is pretty much perfect standard size. I like the features where you can turn the freezer into fridge or just put all things into the freezer and turn off the fridge when you go on holiday. Fridge sometimes make bubbles noise but they say it's completely normal. The downside is that you have to leave space around it or it goes hot outside like it needs to breathe. Show details
The size is great – The fridge is in a great size for my family and it's so quiet! Price is great as well! And it has the movable ice maker which i didnt know they have it. It was like a surprise and the delivery men were very friendly, just love my new fridge! Show details
Value for money – I bought this refrigerator almost a year ago and I am pretty satisfied with the performance if consider against the pice I paid. Though the interior plastic is not of good quality and has developed cracks by the frequent pull out of fruit basket, it is still ok. I am wondering if this is covered under warranty or not. If it is I have no grudges… Read more
against the product. Though not the top quality product but it is not bad even and catering to the requirement.
Hi Harsh, thank you for your review, we're very sorry to… Read more
It's been a lifesaver perfect for two people or 3 – Pretty quiet hasn't had humming bubbling noise here and there but barely noticeable especially when the boyfriend's talking or moaning all in all it's worked out to be a great fridge a really good upgrade from my Hisense fridge loving Samsung just let the Samsung TV now to go with the phone Show details
Fantastic fridge – Maintains good temperature in all compartments. Very helpful feature of transforming freezer to fridge if needed, to increase storage capacity of the fridge component, if needed. The capacity is good enough as such. Good LED light inside. No noise in the background. Easy to clean. Great space in the inside of the door too. Fully recommended. Show details
Great value versatile fridge /freezer – We are very happy with this fridge /freezer and although we have not changed functions it has alot of versatility. It's clean feeling in design and well planned inside, even the ice tray works great. It looks great aswell and even though we have almost halved our capacity we are loving our decision to upgrade in quality and the price was… Read more
fantastic. I believe we can switch one section off if we go on holiday or even turn the freezer into a fridge but my wife is the expert here and as yet we have not explored the smart capabilities but as a day to day product replacement for an over ten year old huge big unit we also loved we are truly happy with this product. I would give it 5 stars if it had some sort of adjustable frame to hold taller bottles like sauce in the bottom door shelf but seriously it's a good well priced unit. The listed price includes 48 months product care.
Excellent Fridge – Bought this refrigerator (Samsung SR342WTC 341L Top Mount Fridge White) 2 months back. The fridge has been great with no problems. It is very easy to clean with wet wipes. It is really quiet and it maintains at the same temperature all the time. The size of the refrigerator is big enough for our family of 3, so excellent usage. Show details
So far so good – Bought this a few months ago - couldn't find the bottom mount I was after so settled for this. Having a top mount is not a problem and this fridge suits us well as a couple who eat at home a lot and tend to do big shops as we live a distance from a supermarket and so shop only once a week or less Can't fault it - quiet, efficient and works perfectly. Would recommend. Show details
Excellent refrigerator for many – We share this refrigerator among 3 friends in an apartment. The spacious and 2 door design was really suited for our needs. We were able to partition the refrigerator and maximize the space. The auto-defrosting feature was really helpful in preventing frost buildup. The stainless steel frame was also very helpful in easy cleaning. So far after 6months of use, we have not come across any major faults on the appliance.

It does the job! – I needed a smaller fridge to fit the measurements in my newly renovated kitchen. Works like a charm! No issues with it - keeps food cool and fresh , samsung never fails to disappoint. Show details
Solid fridge, value for money – Fridge comes with all bells and whistles, such as deodoriser, controlled temperature and meat cupboard and vegetable drawer. Occasionally sounds like a faint running tap. Keeps clean as I've put drawers from Kmart and is good at keeping food cool. Freezer stays frost free. Very happy with purchase. great value for money especially for its height and width Show details
Perfect interior design, spacious, easy to clean – We were looking for a fridge of approx. 350L size for our small family. Based on online research, I was first interested in Hisense and other brands that were cheaper than Samsung. However, when we visited a couple of stores and compared Samsung models with those brands, it was very clear that Samsung fridges had much better interior design (e.g.… Read more
size of compartments, design of shelves on the door, etc.) and almost no wastage of space. Also, we found their finishing to be much superior. It's true that some products need to be checked in person first before you purchase them even if you were to purchase online later.
Among different models, we found this models to be the most suitable for our requirements, mainly based on size. We ended up purchasing it from one of the large appliances stores through an online order during one of their 20% off eBay promotions. It's been almost 2 yrs since we purchased it and we haven't had any issues so far. Temperature control and interior lights are good. It's very easy to clean and we don't hear any noise even in during night. Though we've never had to call customer service but I have got to know that their service is pretty good/quick as well. Highly recommend this model!
Excellent fridge for the price – Pros: Spacious, Maintains freshness of the food, Digital inverter, simple look, easy to clean, Ice maker is pretty awesome. Cons: Nothing has been noticed so far. However Motor can be slightly noisy at night which is definitely not a show stopper. Shelf could have been bit more on the doors. Show details
Great compact fridge – No fuss modern design, compact but functional. Good energy rating and attractive design sold me on this fridge. Adjustable shelves, easy to remove and clean. Good price point, no issues but only had for 3 months. Love it so far Show details
Best for couples – It keeps the food really fresh and it has very comfortable space to store food for more than a week. IT within 2 hours and can makes ice cubes and easy to take it off. Show details
Excellent fridge for a couple – A very good fridge doing all the job for a couple but little small for more than 2 people. It has very good freezing capability and also having a lot option to put your items. The only issue with this fridge is having a noise coming out after an interval of one-two hours. I called up Samsung and they provided a service but only the noise decibel… Read more
decreased but its still there. Anyway I am satisfied with the fridge and it does what it is for but the only issue is it make some noise.
Keeps vegetable fresh and sleek in style – This fridge keeps vegetables fresh for longer and is veg sleek in style. Also has amazing cooling and quick and fast ice freezing technology. It makes cold water and ice quickly available when guests are around. Glad purchasing it.
Great Fridge – For the price point, this is a great quality Fridge with the following features: * inverter - top freezer compartment can be changed to Fridge settings * Holiday setting - you can turn the dial inside Fridge to a holiday setting so it uses minimal power if you go away * Deoderiser filter - removes any smells from various food inside the… Read more
fridge so it doesn't effect any other foods in the fridge
* Optimal settings - tells you where to set the dial for optimal temp settings in Fridge
* efficiency - 4 1/2 stars for power efficiency
In terms of Fridge size, it is quite small so would suit a couple / apartment living
Great fridge – Good value fridge. Quiet. 3.5 stars energy efficient. Freezes well and cools well. We were going to get the next size up (none available), but have found this is quite adequate for 2 people. The SS front does show up marks around door if hands are dirty - which we expected. Recommended.
