very unhappy with non existent Samsung support

This is my second review regarding my unfortunate ongoing issue with Samsung. I generated a new ticket on Thursday 8am regarding my 7 month old under warranty twin cooling French door fridge that is not keeping its temeperature. That was the 3rd ticket generated over 10 days. I have not been contacted by customer service or support once during this time. That is why I am writing. I need Samsung to contact me to make an appointment to send out a warranty authorised service technician to fix my fridge. I need people to see what kind of company we are dealing with. Samsung did reply on Thursday and had said the ticket was "escalated" Really?! it is now Monday 16:04 and not a word from Samsung!! Ticket Number:*** Status:Pending My Enquiry:MY FRIDGE IS UNDER WARRANTY AND NOT KEEPING THE CORRECT TEMPERATURE. I NEED TO HAVE SAMSUNG WARRANTY TECHNICIAN COME FIX IT ASAP! I WAS TOLD SAMSUNG HAS TO SEND OUT A WARRANTY TECHNICIAN HOW DO I SET AN APPOINTMENT? PLEASE CALL BACK ASAP! Samsung answer of Thursday 23/10/20: Dear Lizette Schmelzle, We apologize for the issue you have experienced with your Samsung product. Your support request has been successfully received. Our Samsung Technical Team will reply your question or contact you as soon as possible.

No Reply that time: Here are the reasons I do not have a firm repair date set up so far: Samsung referred our case to Samsung authosized tecgnicians that is NOT allowed to work on warranty appliances! For the 2ND time!! In as many weeks!
. AND JUST NOTE: I mention my fridge 7 month warranty status in every comminique with Samsumg, begging for properly authorised assistance!!. And here we are in week three of this ordeal! Please find the right people , call and get the fridge fixed!! You have our numbers!

My reply: Ticket is unfortunately not closed!! Fridge is not fixed!
We have followed these steps before on advice of Samsung - MORE THAN ONCE!!
PROBLEM PERSISTS!
The fridge is under warranty and needs to be fixed by a warranty certified Samsung authorised Service technician. You have my email and tel numbers. I need to be notified of time and date of technician arrival for repair.

issue is not resolved. Ticket can not be closed. Fridge not repaired, no technician date or time arranged, not a word from Samsung as of 16:57 Seems this shoddy service is what you can expect from Samsung dear consumer. And would you believe someone from Samsung called my nbelievableto get feedback on our customer satisfaction? It boggles the mind
