The article below is on extended warranties.

Most Reliable / Least Serviced Appliance Brands of 2017 -2018(Reviews / Ratings)


As the article notes, Samsung does not have a national service network. According to to some service techs I’ve talked with, Samsung stocks some parts (like mother boards) only in Korea.

So, you have a product with no service network, difficulty in getting parts, some parts only available from Korea, and products that service techs hate to work on.

Must be why Lowe’s couldn’t/wouldn’t honor the extended service warrantee on Samsung products I brought to TV when we moved here.
