If you’re planning to build...
This is a heads up to anyone planning to build in The Villages. DO NOT let them sell you on Samsung appliances! Not only are they terrible but there are no repairmen in central FL. The closest is Gainesville and they only have 1 or 2 who can work on appliances. Every local company I talked to, including in Ocala, said they don’t touch them. Save yourself the headache and choose something else. Wish we had 🙁

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.

We just recently built and they were pushing GE appliances. There is a severe appliance shortage right now. I'm guessing they're selling whatever they can get their hands on. We're still waiting on our wall oven/microwave and our range hood.

That makes sense. That probably explains it.

TV switched from whirlpool and GE to Samsung, on new builds. In less than 2 years the problems started. No one will touch them under warranty or out. Both of our fridges died (18 & 11yo Whirlpools one in TV, up north, in 2020) Inventory was limited, but most had Samsung in stock. Basically told if there was a problem with Samsung, you must have 3 failures before Samsung would replace, plus didn’t have anyone that would work on them.
Our utility companies have warranties to purchase, cheap, but would not write any Samsung. So we bought a Frigidaire up north, mainly it was the only one available in 2020, and not a Samsung. In TV we went with whirlpool, same story, if you bought Samsung, no service

I think you're the one that's new lol. Samsung is a high-tech company that's been around a long time and has been making electronics highly competitive and high-quality items for a while. They are from South Korea. |

Who knows why they're selling Samsung right now but it certainly isn't because it's cheap. They are very expensive and very high quality. Yes certainly hard to get fixed with the technicians but that's because they are such high quality and such high tech.

I've had my Samsung refrigerator serviced 5 times in the past year. Last Thursday, 4 repairmen installed new patrs. I'm hoping the problems are resolved. My advice- DON'T buy a Samsung refrigerator!

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.

I bought a new French door fridge that can’t make ice and a 65 inch flatscreen power board sizzled ( luckily I could fix that myself with a 75 dollar eBay replacement) |

Had a Samsung washer for 5 years with no problems. I believe there was an earlier thread about trouble getting a Samsung refrigerator repaired.
I recommend an extended warranty. Bought one from Best Buy for 5 years. Good advice about consulting local repair companies first. There are several recommended in previous threads. I wonder if you have the option of not purchasing appliances. Anyone know? If so I would purchase one from Best Buy or other reputable chain with extended warranty options and possibly better prices.

For $2,000 or less you can get four new appliances for your kitchen, for 1,000 or less you can get a washer and dryer also

We had an appliance repair man come for something awhile back (we don't have Samsung). The conversation got around to brands and he told us Samsung is junk. I wish we were back in the old days when stores were locally owned and you could buy products through them. Big Box stores seem worthless (even if their up front prices seem good)!!! We've been married 56 yrs this summer. Our 1st appliances lasted many years. When we bought our house 12 yrs ago, we went to Appliance Plus on 441/27 and got our washer and drier. Don't remember the brands, but they're basic---do the job and have worked fine. Did have to replace their knobs though. Our kitchen appliances are about 10 yrs old, I think. We replaced the builder-grade when friends of ours were remodeling their kitchen and wanted to get rid of their one-yr old, top of the line GE for stainless. We've only had to replace the microwave from that set. Used to be Whirlpool and one other brand (I don't recall the name) were great products. Hope we don't have to begin replacing any, anytime soon.
