Samsung a no show

I bought a Samsung Fridge just over a year ago and now there is a crack and another starting in the back of the fridge. I phoned the store that I bought it from, and they got Samsung to contact me. The fridge is still under warranty, and I didn’t think it would be a problem. Samsung phone me and what they basically said was that it was my fault and that they can order a part and come and do the job, but it will be for my account. I am no expert but where the plastic backing cracked the actual plastic looks very thin to me. When I told Samsung I am not happy they said they will send an assessor to come and look at the fridge. Samsung said the assessor will call me a gentleman , (Saheal Peerbux) did call me to say he will see me Monday. Monday he called and said he looked on the map and I will make him two hours late for his other appointments. ( I guess he didn’t do his homework, and my problem is not important enough) he did call me back to say Samsung said he must come and take pictures and scheduled another appointment for Tuesday he said it will be early (10:00). It is now almost 2:00pm and no show or call. I phoned Samsung and Mr Peerbux and there is no joy.

Reviewer Update
A Samsung refrigerator generally has a lifespan of around 15 years. However, with proper care and enough maintenance, it can last longer than that. This is what the website says. Here we are again, *** this is my Samsung customer reference number. Samsung is adamant that I am the cause of the fridge cracking at the back. Up until now no one bothered to come and have a look at the problem. From the start there was a problem to get someone to have a look at my fridge (like they know exactly why I am calling) and now they just want to pass the blame on to me. They are very willing to fix the fridge, but I must carry the cost. The fridge is just over a year old so where is the lifespan of 15 years if mine has a crack already Samsung is a renowned brand that has built its reputation on being reliable another claim from the website. I am not seeing this. Samsung is rated one of the top 3 refrigerator brands and I am already sorry I bought mine with the after-sale service I am getting. Then I read this I am still wondering about the Samsung brand:

Which refrigerator has the most complaints?

Nearly 700 refrigerator incidents across all brands were reported in 2022, the highest number of annual complaints against any appliance type since the data became available in 2011, according to USA TODAY's analysis of the data. Of those reports, about 70% involved Samsung products.

People also ask:

Is Samsung fridge a good brand?

Samsung refrigerators have a reputation for reliability. With an expected lifespan between 10 and 15 years, many customers report their Samsung fridge lasting even longer. Where is my 10 years? I am not buying anything Samsung again.
