“DO NOT BUY ANY SAMSUNG FRIDGE FREEZERS”
Written on: 25/03/2013
As you may well have read they are terrible, customer service really rude when the appliance broke (due to fault they knew about but did not inform people before warranty ran out) they have tried saying the fault is not on newer models yet i have read lots of people with new models saying thiers have developed same problem, that being the ice build up in fridge side which eventually breaks the fan. Do not waste your money on any samsung fridge freezer. (read more)

Totally agree. We had the heater fitted by Samsung engineer after seeing the watchdog program. Came in yesterday and guess what it's iced up again. Can hear the fan catching when it spins. My husband rng us timer services today and basically said defrost it and see how it is. I will be ringing them tomorrow as I will not accept there attempt at fobbing us of

yes problem, not cooling and warm: 22 degrees. sounds like its working but actually not. I am not happy especially when they knew it had problems; why didn't they recall the model, contact the customers that bought it in the beginning as they have our details with the guarantees we bought. Not ethical business trading!!

“Common fault that can be fixed”
Written on: 04/12/2012 by 2lippy (19 reviews written)
I have an rs21 and have had it since they first came out, its great in its simplicity, the cold water and ice maker are really useful. The freezer is a fair size and the fridge is enormous The rs21 has a common manufacture fault that causes the fan inside the fridge to eventually get frozen solid after water builds up around it over time. This will then stop it cooling properly. The fix is very well documented online and a simple diy kit (£39) is all you need to add a small heater to the... (read more)

After reading many of the negative reviews here, I am almost afraid to write my review in case I tempt providence. I've had the Samsung RS21DCNS model for over six years now and fingers xd, have not had one jot of bother. I love its appearance, that it's easy to clean, it's quiet and it keeps my food fresher for longer just as advertised allowing me to keep things after the sell by date, saving me money.

PS I've never needed to defrost it in all those years. Even when I accidentally left the freezer door open and it frosted up, just shut the door and it resolved itself. Feel sorry for those who haven't shared my experience of this product but I speak as I find and for me, it's been the most reliable electical appliance in my house.

my advise is to stay a way from samsung unless you like to defrost your new fridge every few months when the fan freezes up then it will finally pack it in all together. phoned samsung to complain and got led around for a dam week before they said its not there problem but you look online to see plenty of people have this problem cant stand a company tha wont stand behind its product by the way the fridge one year and four months old just over its warranty (read more)

Despite Samsung extending the warranty to 5 years it doesn't help the fridge freezer goes wrong time after time until it is out of warranty then samsung do not want to know the "fix" they carry out does not always work - they fridge frezer works for a while once it has been defrosted, but it is because it has been defrosted not because samsung have fixed the latent defect I will never buy anything from samsung again as they do not offer customer service (read more)

I have had the same problem with my Samsung Fridge Freezer. Samsung are totally indifferent or even hostile to customers making complaints about a product that they are fully aware is not fit for purpose.
But what can you expect when the President of Samsung has been convicted of corruption.

Are you still happy, a year on? Our experience has been that the fridge freezer breaks down just after the warrenty runs out, the engineers charge you a fortune to fix it, the problem still occurs and you can't get your money back for a job that didn't work. NEVER buy Samsung - their products are rubbish and their customer service is worse.

My rs21 is 5yrs and 9mths old and has had 2 previous repairs before the most recent one on 23rd June 2011. I phoned samsung who deny ever being out to the appliance. To put a long story short and approximatly 50 phone calls and 4 weeks and a day later they have finally admitted that they have a record of repairs on an old database. Basically they called me a liar for 4 weeks and hence would not send anyone out to it. If it was down to samsung i would still have no fridge (i had to pay for the fridge repair which i am currently trying to claim back) I WILL NEVER BUY A SAMSUNG PRODUCT AGAIN!!!!

This product is faulty and should never have made it to the market.

I would now have been better investing a further £500 (ontop of the cost of the Samsung) in a reputable top end manufacturer.
Samsung should have done the right thing and owned up to the problem and rectified accordingly......

My fridge freezer was covered by the extended 5 year warranty on the fridge cooler unit. However, after three call outs to the engineer in the space of three months Samsung has now said that the unit is 'irreperable' and have offered me £300 for a 'depreciated refund'. Given that it cost £999 new and should have lasted a lot longer than 5 years and is now useless, I don't consider £300 to be more than a cycnical way of avoiding responsibility for fixing my fridge/freezer.

The Samsung RS21 Fridge Freezer was excellent until 6 weeks outside of the two year warranty. It started to make a funny noise and was losing temperature (same as mentioned on watch dog). Phoned samsung and they sent out an engineer who told us that the compressor was broken and oil had contaminated the system and that it was beyond economic repair. However, have been in contact with Samsung and they have agreed to replace it with a RSH1 FBMH. We are really pleased with this response because... (read more)

I completely agree! We bought the RS277 side by side 3 years ago. HUGE CRACK SUDDENLY APPEARED in the freezer door...inside where the ice comes down from ice maker to ice in door. Samsung says only 1 year warranty. Lowes Protection Plus denied due to cosmetic only. Will have to start letter writing campaign now.
