I don't remember the brand that was originally installed but the icemaker in the refrigerator was very noisy on the filling and drop cycles and we didn't like the side-by-side doors. The dishwasher was the worst, when they pulled it out to put the new one in there was no insulation on the old unit, just a hard plastic shell that echoed inside the kichen cabinets. It was not unexpected; we had the same issue with the supplied dishwasher in our last house (outside TV) and replaced it also after a year or so. The stove, my wife didn't like it, I replaced it, no questions asked, I've been well trained over the last 40 years.

The Samsung appliances we replaced the originals with have proven themselves less than stellar. We had the icemaker issue that has plagued Samsung. The dishwasher's internal computer needed frequent resetting (cycle the breaker). The stove and microwave however work great. My son did us a favor on Monday, he stumbled in the kitchen and fell on the open dishwasher door and bent it beyond repair and economical replacement. He's fine but the dishwasher was a total loss. So far so good with the new Maytag I installed on Monday afternoon; and the old Samsung is now at the county landfill.
