Terrible quality – Had this fridge for 5 years. Started leaking water and needed repairing after 3 years, now the compressor is gone. Samsung support bend over backwards to fob you off even with the 10 year warranty on the compressor, hard to get a repairman to attend. Will never buy another Samsung appliance. Wish I reviewed before we purchased, we wish we had of before we bought. Upset that I am taking a 5 year old fridge $2000 fridge to the rubbish tip. Show details

So hard to clean and always wet! – The worst fridge, I purchased in 2017, and i know it's 7 years on but the ice maker hasn't worked since 2019. It is so hard clean, especially the crisper boxers, they don't come apart to get crumbs out of it. It is the worst designed fridge. Same problem as everyone else, the crisper boxes are always wet. I can't wait for it to blow up so I can choose a new one, definitely won't be a SAMSUNG! Show details

Samsung have made a modification that fixes leaking issues – Hi we had the same issues with water leaking in crisper what Samsung have done is rebuilt the drip tray where water comes off the cooler grill down to the bottom of the pan to drain onto motor to evaporate away what was happening was there was foam in-between the drip tray and would freeze up and the tray did not have enough bend in it to hold the… Read more ·  1

water so it would block up and ice up way up into fan and that was the cause for water to over flow into crisper

Worse fridge I've ever owned – This fridge has been repaired twice for exactly the same problem. Water in veg crisper. It has now started making a loud buzzing sound, to say I'm disappointed is a understatement. Last time it was fixed was in 2021. It is now making a aweful noise that stops when opening, Samsung has said they won't fix it even though it's a known fault and it's… Read more

the same issue as past 2 times. After seeing the post by Suzanne I have requested a credit from where i bought it , it has been passed on but we will see if anyone gets back to me. I paid $1595 and did not expect to have such a bad fridge that has issues every 2 years. Samsung has called me and refused to fix it, or refund me even though it's been fixed twice already for the same issue. Are we expected to spend money every 2 years to fix the same problem. Unbelievable spending good money on rubbish

I love this product – This fridge/freezer is fantastic. I have had this product for around 18 months, it's big enough for a family of 4-6 people. I love the convenience of having ice cold water available whenever I need it and also the ice cubes and crushed ice. We have also noticed that our food definitely stays fresher longer than any other fridge we have had in the past. Show details ·  2

Great refrigerator! – - Fridge is easy to use - Temperature is consistent and reliable - Love the design and silver finish - Nice handles on the doors to open and close with ease - Very spacious - Water dispenser works well with ice cold fresh water - Only downside is that the ice maker is very complicated to setup and use  Show details

Water leaking into crisper for 6 years – Bought Samsung 583L French Door fridge from Harvey Norman in 11/2017. Water started leaking in the crisper 1 year later. Samsung was nice to send a technician free of cost who what appeared at the time 'fixed' the issue. Issue came back in few months and then again in another few months. Each time Samsung sends technician to 'fix' the issue -… Read more

but seemingly never could fix it. Last issue in 2020, when Samsung technician apparently 'changed' the entire part and was told issue now really 'fixed' forever - No Kidding this time.

Come July-23, lo and behold water started leaking again in crisper. Now Samsung says fridge is out of 'warranty'. Forget about replacing this piece of crap but they won't even fix the issue like they did in the past. but get this, fridge was already out of warranty when they supposedly had a major overhaul on this unit and changed entire part - evidently issue not resolved.

They essentially punished us for being patient with them and not demanding a replacement first time the issue appeared. Even though it is their inability to fix their own fridges. Now, I am being asked to pay to retrieve old technician reports to lodge an ACCC complaint.

Check on the internet. This is a very common issue with Samsung fridges. Customer service is polite but in the end the equipment is crappy. Also, their 'technicians' are completely inept to fix the faults. Technician came to our house 1 week ago, opened the faulty fridge parts only to 'inspect' and won't fix the issue - to prepare a Report first. Meanwhile, fridge is still leaking. And, now Samsung says they WON'T fix the problem - only because we are 'out of warranty'. But fails to acknowledge their own inability to rectify faults.

DO NOT BUY this crap and instead spend money for a better quality product.

Hope this review helps someone looking to purchase new unit.

Thanks Neel

So disappointing – I was so excited when I initially purchased this fridge. I loved the size and look of the fridge and had always wanted a "French" door fridge. I purchased the fridge in 2017 and within a couple of years I had issues with water in the "crisper" drawers. On contacting Samsung the fridge was under warrenty and repaired, replacing some parts which… Read more

did not fix the problem. I asked if I could recieve a refund and would like to "upgrade" to another Samsung fridge. This was rejected and was told that this was because they would repair the fridge once again. The repair lasted a few years but over the past year the problem has returned. I am considering purchasing another fridge but feel very let down by this fridge and the known issues that it has.

Rubbish fridge – Purchased this fridge in July 2018 and have spent over $600 to try and fix the water leaking into the sliding draws and bottom of the fridge section. Have had 2 technicians try to fix the problem but the problem is still there. Samsung should stick to making TV’S as there fridges are faulty and rubbish. Have no other choice now but to buy a new fridge most likely a LG fridge. Show details

Very poor quality – I purchased this fridge in 2017. It has never worked properly since day 1 I purchased it. There is severe condensation in the crispy drawers so can’t use the 2 drawers. There is also severe condensation in the freezer. When it accumulates badly, the drawer won’t close properly. You still thinks it’s closed coz there’s no warning but it’s not. The… Read more

next day you will find a lot of water leaking out on the floor, all the frozen food melted then you realise that the condensation is very mad again and needs to clear it. I have the technician came to fix it, still the same. I think Samsung overall has very bad product control coz all my Samsung appliances (I bought this Samsung fridge, a Samsung microwave and Samsung smart TV when I moved in to my new place in end of 2017) they ate not working working now in only 4.5 years while my other appliances from Bosch, Smeg, Kitchen aid still work beautifully, never have a trouble.

water leaking fake stainless steel outer case with Bubbles – This fridge is leaking water out the water dispenser and condensation where the doors come together , in the last week it has begun getting bubbles in the fake stainless that is covering the doors. The freezer trays don`t come out far enough for easy access of your frozen goods. To all people stay clear of the Samsung stainless fridges they are rubbish. This fridge was bought 2018 and I will not buy another Samsung Product. Show details

Worst refrigerator I have ever bought – Purchased this refrigerator in November 2018. Since then it has twice broken down. Not cooling, water in crispers. We have now lost x2 fridges/freezers worth of food. Authorised repairers take days to attend despite us living in metro area. Worst product - should be recalled. DO NOT BUY THIS FRIDGE Show details

Worst fridge ever only had 4 1/2 years Samsung dont care! – Bought Dec 2016 By the July 2018 I had water in the crispers every other day. Had to throw out so much fruit and veg. Got to the point of not being able to use the crispers at all. It was repaired under warranty. A few cooling issues as well. Had looked online and could see that this was the general fault of this product. So a known fault!… Read more

It happened again and was repaired again under warranty. So now we have come to the third time this has happened. To be told by Samsung that because we no longer have warranty on the said fridge, that they are not prepared to do anything for us! Cannot repair and will not replace!

According to the consumer ACCC customer guarantee laws. When you purchase a product from a supplier the said supplier has to make sure that the goods you are purchasing are: Safe, Lasting ( think a fridge should last a wee bit longer than 4 1/2 years, I was hoping for atleast 8/10 years), With no faults, Acceptable quality. Acceptable quality takes into account what would normally be expected for the type of product and cost!

So don't buy Samsung fridges! Now need to purchase one that works. NOT A SAMSUNG!

Do not buy any Samsung fridge – Water collection on the bottom crispers and it ices over. Then the stainless steel rusts around the edges. The fridge is kept indoor. No other stainless steel appliances I have does this. Samsung refuse to acknowledge theses serious design faults. Contact me baronee142@gmail.com so I can tell you more before you buy Samsung. They should stick to phones and TVs only. Show details

Multiple repairs and still broken – Water leaks into the crisper tray. Multiple repairs, once under warranty and the issue reappeared two months later. Samsung wouldnt repair under warranty again, had a different part replaced and now 12 months later we have water in our crisper tray again. This fridge is not even 5 years old.

This product should be RECALLED – I bought this fridge in 2016, and not long after that, the problems mentioned by other reviewers are the same which are: 1. water/icey water are in the vegetable boxes and under the boxes and need to be cleaned every 2-3 weeks. There is about 2-3 litres of water. This in itself is extremely frustrating and damages the food and beverages in the… Read more

boxes.

I contacted Samsung but they weren't interested in fixing this fridge because I did not have a serial number when I purchased the fridge. I was not aware a serial number was this important until now. They do not want to help if you do not have a serial number.

By this experience, I would never recommend Samsung fridges to anybody. Absolute nightmare.

If anyone has any advice on how to proceed, please let me know.

Stay away from this one – Purchased Dec 2016- First leaks into the water tray started 18-24 months later. Samsung covered two repairs by the authorised repairer but won't replace as out of warranty.

Failed out of warranty, and unable to be repaired – The fridge was good while it lasted. Good size, and the ice maker (while really loud) was reliable and produced a good amount of ice. Unfortunately the fridge didn't last. Outside warranty period, the inside back panel started icing up and the fridge compartment wasn't keeping cool. I contacted Samsung and was referred to their authorised… Read more

repairer.

The authorised repairer made two visits but was unable to repair the fridge (the way the defrost function works had caused the defrost element connectors to corrode, and they're attached to the main cabinet which cannot be repaired). Apparently this is common fault with Samsung fridges. Ultimately, I've paid for call-out and service, just to be told I have to buy a new fridge.

I contacted Samsung to see if there was anything else that could be done, but they only provided the same canned response, telling me to contact their authorised repairer "for a reasonably priced repair". After over a month of chasing their "Voice of Customer" team (weekly emails and phone calls) for a better solution, or some kind of reimbursement for the service fees, I still have not received any response. I asked their social media team via facebook if they could follow up. To that teams credit, they responded, but advised there is nothing that can be done.

These are one of the cheaper products in the category, but don't expect them to last, or to get any kind of service outside warranty.

A lot of money for a fridge that doesn't work properly! – I have had this fridge/freezer for 3 years now and for the past year, it has continually leaked water into both crisper trays.
