Save yourself the headache and choose something else. Wish we had 🙁

We have no problems with Samsung in our home. The only issue is the dishwasher which seems “tinny” and is noisy. With open floor plan you hear it everywhere. When this one dies we’ll replace with a quieter model.

The put in all whirlpool into our home including a washing and dryer. For some reason they put a cheap tiny fridge in. It looked funny in the spot, to short, to skinny. We just bought a full-size Samsung side by side fridge from Home Depot. Hopefully it will last.

Nothing local had what we wanted, so I ordered from our go to appliance store in Illinois, Abt. Got a great deal and exactly what I wanted. No one is building like crazy up here! Only problem is I'll have to find a local installer for them.

Abt is also on online retailer. So if you're in the market for appliances (and a lot of high end brands, too)...try, Abt.
