Caveat Emptor “let the buyer beware”
on September 30, 2014
Posted by: Dissatisfied
It is my contention that Samsung Corporation knowingly used inferior stainless steel - that spontaneously begins to rust within 7 months of purchase - in the manufacture and/or assembly our 7 month old refrigerator.
After all, why would the warranty for refrigerator # RFG******* state “This limited warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship…” and then afterward state “and shall not apply to the following, including, but not limited to… cosmetic damage or exterior finish.” I am left to speculate that Samsung does not produce sheets of stainless steel for this refrigerator and that it purchases said material from a supplier of inferior quality materials. Thus the warranty states that it covers manufacturing defects (if manufactured by Samsung) or poor workmanship. As the problem is not poor workmanship (or cosmetic damage) in the assembly of the refrigerator but poor quality components manufactured by an assumed outside entity, Samsung will not warrant the exterior finish of this product.
Samsung’s response to my concerns? Clean the rust off and apply an appliance wax to hinder the rust build-up. Really? Had I known that the above fine print was in the warranty I probably would not have purchased the unit. This is our second Samsung refrigerator (the older one very similar to the new but it had an icemaker/water dispenser in the door). The first had a white enamel finish that always look like new. Because Samsung refuses to replace the door of an almost new refrigerator I am left to wonder, do they really care about losing me as a repeat customer?
Best Buy refused to help at all. The store manager simply told me that it is Best Buy’s policy to honor the manufacturer’s warranty. I informed him that this does not help me at all as Samsung has no warranty on exterior finishes. So Best Buy is going to honor Samsung’s non-warranty. Thanks for nothing.
BTW, my wife and I also purchased, from Best Buy, a Samsung gas range/oven, Bosch dishwasher, and Kitchen Aide trash compactor within the last year. Do you really want our economic relationship to come to an abrupt end?
Let it be known to all that Best Buy is now put on notice that they in fact know that Samsung does not offer a warranty on the exterior finish of this refrigerator. It was sold to us as having an excellent warranty and if we had any problems within the first year Samsung would fix the problem. I believe this to be true except for the exterior finish – especially if it is stainless steel.
To Best Buy and Samsung: I don’t need to purchase anything from either of you. I have many options available to me. If you will not satisfy us in our desire to have a refrigerator that does not spontaneously rust, I must conclude that you really don’t care to conduct any further business with me and my family.
Good day.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
