LG and Samsung are South Korean companies, and they make superior products to those made by Whirlpool
The dishwasher didn’t work the first time I tried it. In order to get a service call, I had to prove that I had brought in an electrician to make sure the unit was getting proper power. That cost me sixty dollars. The Samsung tech came and found problems in the electronics. He put a new board in and it worked. I never got back my sixty dollars.
A couple months later, the refrigeratot/freezer started going off and thawing out whatever was in the freezer. The motor behind the fridge started making a knocking sound as if the cooling blades on the motor were hitting something. I called Samsung and they said they didn’t have a service rep in my area (north central Florida). So they would replace the fridge with a new one but would knock off two hundred dollars from the price of a new one since I had used the unit for a couple months. I told them I could get the damned thing fixed off-warranty for two hundred dollars without the hassle of replacing the unit. A few days later, the knocking stopped and hasn’t come back.
The Samsung clothes washing machine had to have a post-manufacture mod put on to allow washing blankets without knocking itself over.
I’ll never buy Samsung again. But if Whirlpool is worse ... just dang.

We have a pair of Tumble Action Maytags in our laundry. They have had manifold problems, and Whirlpool has chosen to not back their products covering known defects, leaving us to foot the bill to make them work. We have a Maytag Washer-Dryer in our second home. Following a remodel that took us five years, we went off and left the washer to finish a load. It rewarded us by failing to turn off it’s own water, flooding about 1,000 square feet of 60 year-old hardwood floors that had just been restored. In that instance, our insurance company subordinated a claim against Maytag (Whirlpool) and they were forced to pick up the costs of repairs.
Samsung has the best washing machines.
Our Samsung refrigerator has been a big disappointment to say the least.
Whirlpool isn’t the product America used to know, just do an internet search on their products. That being said, Samsung has their own issues with Washers, recently we were in the market for a washer and dryer so went to the local Sears outlet, almost every unit on the floor was a Samsung because no one wanted them.
