LG and Samsung are South Korean companies, and they make superior products to those made by Whirlpool. Pick a us brand washing machine and you will find that most often it’s really a Whirlpool with another brand name on it. Whirlpool owns a huge chunk of the US washing machine market.

Take a look!

That’s frightening, for Whirlpool. I bought a suite of appliances from Samsung -— washer, dryer, dish washer, electric range, microwave oven, and side-by-side refrigerator/freezer.

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.
