Warranty doesn't matter

I bought a washing machine in December 2019, In May 2020 it stopped working but is still under the 2 year warranty. I called Game and they contacted Samsung to arrange for a technician to come out and see what can be done. eventually I called Samsung myself and they requested the serial number, Address and pin location along with a picture of the slip for proof of purchase, before sending out a technician. In the first week of June 2020 a technician came out and said the mother board was not working, and I would be advised later. I have called twice to find out they are waiting for authorisation on a exchange unit, because they cannot get the parts. Today I was told that the exchange unit was rejected for no reason at all.

Basically at this point I have a new washing machine that is not working, which is under warranty but the supplier doesn't care. either fix the machine, replace it or give me my money back.

so you say someone will contact me, it is now 2 days later.

I called your call centre again. the washing machine is approved for exchange - will it be a new one or someone else's broken one that has been fixed. I have no dents or scratches on mine - it still looks like a brand new machine.

When will the machine be exchanged?
Will I be contacted before so I can make arrangements for someone to be home?
or will you just pitch say no one was home and leave?

Thank you for contacting me on Thursday 02/07/2020, and making arrangements for replacement on Friday 03/07/2020. I left work early to get home in time but unfortunately nothing happened again. where can I take the old machine and fetch the new one because I can see that this is not going to get fixed unless I get to one of your offices

Another 2 days have gone by and nothing has happened, and no one has called me again since 02/07/2020 for making the arrangements that didn't happen, What is the story here, what are you guys doing. Will you be fixing the machine or replacing it?

it seems to me that I am going to have to go buy a new washing machine and then just send you the bill since you clearly don't care about your clients or your own policies under warranty
