Product/component life

I had two Samsung products of which one packed up a week ago {40\LED TV} the other is still working which is a washing machine of which the control panel and the water inlet solenoid has packed which I replaced myself (still working). I took the TV to a Samsung repair workshop in Pretoria East where I paid R250.00 for strip and quote (and s****) they phoned me yesterday to inform me that Samsung does not make the component anymore that has packed up (TV four years old). All failures happen outside of warranty.<br> <br> If Samsung want to own more market shares they will have to improve the quality on there components.<br> <br> Last time that I will buy any Samsung product even the last one in store.<br> "
