Samsung very poor quality phones

I don't like Samsung, their phones are poorly made!
I bought my previous Samsung one year ago and it broke only after one year of using. I never dropped it or something, always took a good care of my phone, but as the time passed the more lugs showed up. Then I bought another phone which was almost two months ago and I already have problems with my phone. I have to charge it every single day because battery is a complete joke, if I don't use my phone too often and especially Internet then it can actually survive till the end of the day, but if I want to use Internet I have to be ready to charge it at least two times a day. My phone is almost brand new but already such a mess. I will not buy Samsung phones again, maybe in the past they were good, but now things are a lot different!

Samsung un65ks8500 suhd tv

I purchased this television 11-28-16 and the TV is still well within warranty. I turned the TV on one day it had a black streak running vertically from to bottom. After an hour on the phone running through the trouble shooting hoops, nothing worked and a tech was scheduled to look at the TV. Ticket # [protected].

He came and took 6 pics and sent them to the ECR who immediately denied repairing the screen stating that there were signs of "physical damages to the TV". There is not one single scrape, scratch, dent, crack anywhere on this TV. The streak is on the inside of the screen and could not possibly have been caused by my husband or I who are the only two people in our household.

I have spent 3 hours on the phone going around in circles and not one single person will speak to me as if I am real person and tell me where they see "evidence of physical damage". They refuse to answer my questions and just keep talking in circles repeating the same thing over an over again.

I have sent an e-mail to the president of Samsung, Steven Kim, and am waiting with no expectations of actually receiving a response. The e-mail is [protected]@sea.samsung.com for anyone else out there who needs it.

ECR claims they can see physical damage due to a brighter spot in the screen at the bottom of the screen. You can NOT possibly tell this by a photo of a curved screen TV where color and brightness is distorted by the curve. ECR is trained to find any way possible to NOT honor a warranty and they will lie to make sure that they don't have to repair or replace their defective product under warranty. I have attached two photos of my own. The black streak is on the inside of the screen. It is not a crack and there is no other kind of physical damage on this TV. You can NOT possibly tell that there is physical damages based on a photo.

Samsung has the WORST customer service I have ever dealt with. You can't even call it "customer service" because there is none! They care nothing about their customers or making right on a defective product. This is what happens when you deal with a giant corporate conglomerate that has lost sight of the fact they would not exist if not for their customers.

Will NEVER buy another Samsung product!

The BBB has received 6318 complaints filed against Samsung. 173 negative written reviews on the BBB website. Wake up top level execs! This should matter to you! Even 1 dissatisfied customer should matter!

Samsung should do the right thing and replace the defective TV. I would be happy for a refund of the $1600.00 that I paid for the TV, at this point I do NOT really want another Samsung product.

I also have a piece of [censor] Samsung TV, 3 years old has power but will not come on. Called customer service they said sorry you can pay for someone to come look at it. A TV should last longer than 3 years! I will never buy Samsung again

Samsung blu ray dvd player

I have a DVD player, under warranty, that keeps turning itself off and restarting. I was told to send it back, at my expense, and let the technical team fix it. They sent it back to me and it's not any better, in fact it's worse than when I sent it in. I called and talked to two different people who told me to send it back again so they could see what's going on? I am pretty sure they did this the last time I sent it in? How many times do I need to send back an item under warranty? You can review my account under my repair ticket: [protected]. Thanks

Samsung samsung 10.1 tab

I recently received a gift of a 3 year old tablet that had never been used. It was slow so I took it to the nearest branch of Samsung which was Somerset branch. I drove over 2 hours to get there and was greeted by stunning staff when I arrived. The technician I spoke to did not know anything about my tab so wanted to keep ire for a few hours... We waited at the mall and when we went back they said it had to be upgraded with programmes from the main computer so I had to go back the next day... Which I duly did at the cost of R500 petol, only to be met by a rude technician who insisted I pay first, which I duly did R399 even though quoted R325. I was then told my tab is obsolete and cannt be upgraded as too old... Its only 3 years!... I am still waiting on my refund... I am so dsappointed in the product and the staff sadly

Samsung samsung suhd 4k 65" tv

We bought this 65" suhd 4k tv from Costco in August of 2016 with a two year warranty from Samsung, and an additional three year warranty from four square. At the end of February 2017 our tv developed a vertical line from top to bottom which won't go away. We went through the process with Samsung to replace, or refund the tv. After three weeks they determined that our tv couldn't be fixed because they offer no repair, or pickup service where we live in Juneau Alaska. We were told that someone would contact us within a week to tell us that someone would contact us for the refund. Yes, I said that right- someone would contact us to tell us someone would contact us. Unbelievable! Ten days later, I called and was told that they would schedule someone to pick up the tv. I then told them that we had already been through that, and that they dont offer that where I live. She then told me that our claim was waiting for approval. I told her that we have been waiting for approval for weeks, and we are done waiting. It has been over six weeks now since beginning the process, and have decided to spend the twenty five dollars and go down to the courthouse and sue Samsung electronics for much more than the $ 2500.00 we spent on the tv. It is a shame as we have always been satisfied with samsung products. My next stop is the better business bureau.

Samsung samsung galaxy s8+

I did my pre-order of samsung galaxy s8+ on 21st of April through garden city samsung gallary just to ensure my self with payment and process of ordering. same day successfully ordered got confirmation email saying it will be shipped in 1-2 business day via express post i can understand the delay of 1 day due to ANZAC Day however, i still dont have any update of my pre ordered samsung galaxy s8+ did speak to samsung australia customer care over the phone and also live chat with samsung australia the answer i received "this could be delayed due to overwhelming demand for our Galaxy S8 and| S8+ pre-order" my point is why would samsung say on your confirmation of pre order email and on their own pre order sale of Samsung galaxy s8+ web page it will be delivered in 2 business day. i am really disappointed with the service and not happy with the samsung at all.

Samsung galaxy s7

I bought for my sons 2 galaxy s7. After a short time in one of them the glass of the rear camera had shattered spontaneously. The phone has never been dropped. It was very disappointing... Anyway, we went to the israeli agent sinai (http://www.samsungmobile.co.il/) store and they convinced us to buy a warranty for the 2 mobiles even that they probably knew it is a quality problem of this phone. They have told us the warranty is valid as for a new mobile so we agreed for the deal. A few weeks ago began troubles with the same repaired mobile. We approached to the store to fix it when we received an answer it is out of service and we can get a new one by paying 1900 nis and my question is why? Why does samson don't take the responsibility of its quality production although the warranty is still valid?☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️

To whom it may concern

I trust that my mail finds you in better stead then I am in

It is with great dismay and aggravation that I write to you. I have been a sworn Samsung client and very loyal to the Brand for many years. Almost everything electronic I have is Samsung branded. After staying loyal to the brand and suffering many issues in the past and having to dig into my pockets all the time I have come to the end of my rope with this.

One of three Samsung smart watches that I own was taken into a Samsung store at the mall of the south to have a loose strap sorted out because of the band coming loose on the casing side. The store was willing to help and said it would be done at no cost. The unfortunate thing is that at the time their tool had just broken and then referred my son to your Constantia branch. The mall of the South manger said it would not cost anything.

Last week I was called about this watch from your Contantia office and I told them I don’t have a quote and did not know there is a cost involved. They apparently sent the quote to me son. The price tag attached to the repair which was told to me on the phone I find absurd. Firstly, the problem was known and needed no searching or investigation. Secondly the problem was pointed out and all that needed doing is that the clip be reinserted. The mall of the South was going to do this over the counter whilst my son waited for it. Constantia booked it in and when I was told about the ludicrous cost I said no way will I pay and that I’d rather collect it as is.

Today im told of another R 200. Plus payment to be made for investigation work in their workshop which is also a load of croc. After so many years of buying Samsung products and staying loyal to the brand im expected to pay for work that would not have taken more than 10 minutes to undertake. I find the cost to be way overboard, unfair and unjustified.

If this is how Samsung treats loyal clients and brand pushes which I am, then I would not buy Samsung again and rather switch to Apple. I am not happy to pay for this repair and after all the support and loyal buying of your brand, I do believe that Samsung could do this repair at no cost. Unless client service and satisfaction is not in Samsung’s business vision.

I do hope you will do something for me in the aforementioned case. I don’t expect to be cheated this way by your outlets for something simple as a loose strap.

Looking forward to your positive feedback

Samsung no follow up

Dears,

kindly note that its the most horrible service i have ever faced in my whole life.

first of all i want to explain the complaint, my phone fell in the water on 5th of April so i went to the nearest branch on the 6th, they gave me a receipt and they informed me that they will call me the day after however no one called me and i went there by myself. after a long discussion they take my signature on acceptance to fix the mobile with cost 320 EGP and they informed me that i can call the customer service after one day to see the progress. i called the customer service on the mentioned time and i was shocked when the agent told me that i have to go to the branch as they need my acceptance to fix the phone with cost 350 EGP, so i informed the agent that i already sign for this and the cost is 320 EGP not 350 EGP so i asked for the supervisor to escalate the call but she informed me that the supervisor is not available which so weird cause i think they have more than one supervisor in the shift. then i hanged out the call after 5 minutes they called me and they extend apologizes about anything so i told her that i really need to know what is going on with my phone and she told me that i have to call after three days to get feed back. so i called after three days and i was shocked again that the agent didn't knew anything about the complaint that i already submitted so they told me that they will send Urgency request to hurry up the maintenance center and someone shall call me. the day after someone called me to follow up with me however she asked me the weirdest question which is ( sir you need to know whats happened till now with your phone?) for god sake what is this question of course i need to know. after all of this no one called me and its been almost 9 days and i dont know anything about my phone so please i need an answer regarding the above.

Samsung samsung galaxy s7 edge

I am disgusted and appalled at the service I have received from the Samsung Smart care Centre in Riverhorse Valley.
As far as my understanding goes, the unit is covered for ADH.
I had dropped my S7 Edge and sent it through to Samsung for my warranty repair, I received a call 2hrs later telling me my Motherboard has been damaged, therefore the unit will not switch on and it will cost me R5000.00 to replace. When I had queried it saying that I was using my phone after the fall, I do not understand how the unit can stop working, I was told that when the unit was put into an oven components from the board fell off.
I then advised I cannot replace the motherboard as I have information on the unit I require. I was then told they will try and revive the unit (Curious to my thought). I received a call few minutes after saying my phone is now switching on but the camera does not work, and the phone freezes. I was a bit concerned, as my phone was working when I had it, then Samsung says it went dead, they phoned me back to tell me it came on but now certain features are not working. I then had collected the unit, unrepaired and to my surprise the unit was in pieces, my frame on the inside was broken and screws missing. is this the type of treatment Samsung gives their clients.
I don't see how it is my problem, and why I must fit the bill if components from the board fell off when Samsung put my phone in an oven, and the unit went dead while in Samsung's Position, when it was working fine in my position, except my screen had cracked. What type of people do they have working on our units. This is absolutely unacceptable. What is the point in Samsung offering an ADH if we need to pay for their mistakes.

Samsung bad service and unethical behaviour

Good Day

I have received the most disgusting service for Samsung the Grove. My device has been booked in twice at Samsung the Grove and returned to me with a faulty screen where the screen goes Purple. After being possession of the phone for a few days since getting it back from Samsung the screen once again went purple. Please note that i have all the communication via email where they confirmed that the screen as in fact faulty. The screen has once again gone purple and i am now told that this is due to a cracked screen which i find absolutely ludicrous! I am told i must pay for the repairs! I have been dealing with Mike Horwitz who simply referred me to Samsung head office. I have attached a small piece of an email and the balanced of the emails will be sent to the relevant media outlets outlining what has transpired.

I have attached copies of previous correspondence in this regard.

Thanks

Samsung electric range/warranty fraud

Never ever buy any samsung product!

Samsung electronics america, inc.
Office of the president
105 challenger road, 6th floor
Ridgefield park, nj 07660

Dear sir or madam,

Reference: samsung customer service ticket # [protected]

We are writing with regards to the samsung electric range which was purchased on 09/05/2015 at best buy in fredericksburg, va. This range is not of satisfactory quality and is not fit for use due to the following problems:

Product description:
Samsung electric range
Model # ne59j7850ws/aa
Serial # 0c8n7dcg301183d
Purchase date – 09/05/2015
Purchased from – best buy store # 166

Problem:
This electric range was purchased for a kitchen remodel that also included a samsung microwave, dish washer, and refrigerator. Due to construction delays involved in our large kitchen remodel project, the appliances were actually not delivered until january 12, 2016 and then installed sometime after that date.

On march 23, 2017, the range was being used to boil water in a metal pot. The glass surface over the burner fractured, and left three pitted holes in the glass top of the range. The burner was immediately turned off and has not been used since. Samsung support was contacted and a ticket was created; the repair was approved under the existing 5-year warranty for the cooktop. The repair provider (Virginia electronics inc.) called and requested pictures of the damage. Pictures were taken and sent to them that same day. Not long after the pictures were sent to samsung, we received a notice from samsung support stating that the approved repair had been rejected and that the ticket had been cancelled for the following reason:
(Copied from samsung ticket)

Status was changed into pending by eddie. Columna. Sea on cs-portal • this unit has been physically damaged.
Authorization for part requested rejected. • this type of damage occurs when there is a minimal load or no load in the cookware and is most commonly caused by enamel or aluminum cookware. Aaaprovided cx email address. Sw lm for cx to collect pics. Bf printed for triage. Bf the glass has a big hole in the middle of the burner was the issue on previous
Ticket. Bf covering parts only saw what is issue tc sms message successfully sent : samsung transaction [protected]. The repairfacility has accepted your repair. Asc phone [protected], asc will contact you within 2 business days. Ticket notice e-mail was sent to asc no fast track manual for the model code in-home repair ticket confirmation e-mail was sent to customer

Of course, the glass top is physically damaged and can’t be used. I do not have a range on which meals can be prepared, and the stated explanation of “minimal load or no load” in the cookware is untrue. The cooktop has been treated with the utmost care and used gently. The stated reason for the damage is not a precaution included in the user manual, and nonetheless the water in the cookware was substantial and not dried up when the damage occurred. This unit replaced a kitchen aid glass cooktop which we managed to use and care for without experiencing any such issues over a 10-year period of time. This samsung cooktop clearly malfunctioned.

We would like samsung to honor their warranty of 5 years by replacing the faulty cooktop with assurances that it will not happen again. We understand that we are liable for the labor cost.

After speaking with someone from "the office of the president", I was once aging told I did not have enough water in the pot and samsung would not honor their warranty.

Will someone join me in a class action suite?

Samsung he washing machine

In April 2017, I bought from home depot in parkville Baltimore Md, a set of Samsung washer and dryer, I have not enjoyed using the washer because the washer does not wash properly, in fact it does not dispense the soap on the cloth, meaning it does not get soapy at all. All you see is plain water running down the side of the glass through the hour plus circle of the wash. you can tell the cloth is not washed. I called home depot, they said I should call Samsung. Samsung says unless, there is a defect, or damage, there is nothing they can do. I got credit to buy this washing machine only to end up going back outside to wash in the laundry marts, not fair at all. this is double jeopardy. I need them to give another washer, that produces the expected result of washing. just give, even a basic one, I will take it.

Samsung samsung top load washer

My Samsung experience has been entirely and exceedingly dreadful for these past 4 months. To begin with my story, I purchased the Samsung top load washer machine (Model number: WA40J3000AW/A2, Serial number: 0DLC5AUH413683T) from Lowe’s on July 30th, 2016 for my first apartment I moved into in August. For the first couple of months, the washer had it’s pros and cons. Pros included the cleanliness, design, and cycle time. Cons included the chiming when the clothes were finished and how noisy it could be when the clothes were spinning. Overall, I felt like I had made a good purchase for the price. However, I was informed in November 2016 of the recall that had been announced, which applied to my washer. A couple weeks later, I noticed the washer abruptly stopped and the clothes didn’t go through the spin cycle. I immediately thought it was because of the recall. I called Samsung a couple days later to have a technician come out. A recall technician apart of Dish Network came out on November 27th, 2016 with a recall kit. I asked the tech was the issue of the clothes not spinning because of the recall and he replied by stating that it may or may not but he was only aware of how to fix the recall issue and that if the clothes did not spin after, that it was a deeper issue. I was then told at this point my warranty was extended due to the recall. Sure enough a couple days later, the washer began to malfunction again with the clothes not spinning. I called Samsung again to set an appointment for a tech to come out to fix this “deeper issue.” A technician by the name of Sam from Appliance Professionals, LLC came out on December 6th, 2016 to "fix" the spinning issue. He advised me that a “clutch” for the washer needed to be replaced in which he switched. I believed my issues had come to an end. After about 2 cycles and a couple weeks later, the washer began to malfunction yet again. Tech #3 came out from Sloan Appliance on December 20th, 2016 to correct the same issue. This technician advised me that there was another part that needed to be replaced and stated the tech before replaced the wrong part. (Surprising?) The tech came out a couple days later to replace the part. The washer worked for exactly 1 cycle. However after, you guessed it, the washer began to malfunction. At that point, I was just ready to receive a refund. I called Samsung numerous times about this matter for the past 4 months to get absolutely no where. On January 4th, 2017, I spoke to Violet (Ticket number [protected]), who told me that a person from the Executive Customer Relations department would give me a call within 48 hours to try to figure everything out. I asked if I could speak to somebody within the department and was told that they only make outbound calls. I never received a call. On January 7th, 2017, I called again and spoke to Charlie. (Ticket number [protected]) Charlie assured me somebody would call me back within 72 hours with a solution to my problem. I never got that call. On January 18th, 2017, Donnie from the Executive Customer Relations department emailed me and apologized about the mishaps I had endured up until that time and discussed that neither an exchange or refund could be fulfilled, with the only option being to get a rebate or get it repaired again. I sent an email back in summary stating how furious and upset I was about a new washer I had purchased becoming defective and not being able to get a refund for it. I also stated that something had to be done because it was unacceptable to be told I could not get a refund for a defective brand new washer. Donnie responded back kind enough to state that a refund process could begin and a tech would have to come out to deem the washer unrepairable in order to go forward. I scheduled the tech to come out on February 1st, 2016 specifically stating the reason to come was to deem the washer unrepairable and to make sure it was defective. The tech came out on that day and did what he could to try to get the washer to spin, stating that what he tried did not work. He stated that the information would be given to Samsung and the company would give me a call. A couple weeks went by and no call was received. (A pattern that occurred every time) I called the service company, Appliance Professionals, LLC to check the status. I spoke with a manager named Allison and she stated that the work order had no notes of the washer being deemed unrepairable and the tech stated that I told him not to work on it. (INCORRECT) I assured her that this was not the case and that the washer was supposed to be deemed unrepairable. Allison told me that she would talk to the tech herself and get the details and give me a call back. (Never got the call) On February 16th, 2016, I called to check the status and another representative of the company told me Allison called Samsung to let them know about the washer being deemed unrepairable. I was given a ticket number to get the status of the refund ([protected]) and a specific phone number this time. [protected]) I called Samsung that same day and after being transferred back and forth, I told the numerous reps I needed to speak to somebody within the Executive Customer Relations department. I got transferred to a representative by the name of Raven, who stated she was close to the department. Raven stated that a receipt would have to be emailed to: [protected]@sea.samsung.com to move forward with the process. I received yet another new ticket number. ([protected]) At that point in time I felt like I had finally gotten somewhere. Note, I bought this washer on July 30th, 2016, and the words on the receipt were heavily faded. I asked Raven if the receipt would still be accepted and she stated it would. The same day, February 16th, 2017, I sent pictures of the receipt specifically stating I tried my best to capture the price of the washer. Two days went by and I didn’t receive a response. I called Samsung and a rep by the name of Briana stated that the note in the ticket said that the receipt was too faded to process or verify the purchase. Great. She told me to send a new copy of the receipt and I received yet another ticket number. ([protected]) My next step was to go back to Lowe’s to get a copy of the receipt, which was a fail. I was told that receipts older than 6 months could not be found in the system or printed. I asked for some type of proof of purchase and received it with the price, delivery time, etc. PROOF. I immediately sent this to the [protected]@samsung.com email as stated to do, and adding my phone number for contact purposes at the end. After sending in the documentation, I still didn’t receive any response via phone or email. I then again called Samsung and was told a call was placed to me a day before. However, the rep stated an incorrect number that was used. I gave the correct number and the rep stated that it was within the system now and I would receive a call. (Surprise, no call) The very last time I called, on March 15th, 2017 to get the status of my refund, I spoke to a woman by the name of Willy within the Executive Customer Relations department. She informed me that the proof of purchase form was received in the email, however, the service company who came out on February 15th (Appliance Professionals, LLC.) to deem the washer unrepairable did not state that this was done in the notes within Samsung’s system and a refund could not be processed without that documentation. My patience had run as thin as it possibly could at that point because I went through all of the trials and tribulations just to get back to the beginning of the matter, which was NOWHERE. She explained she could call the company to understand what was going on, which she did on the other line. She explained to me that Appliance Professionals LLC stated that the tech did not state the washer was unrepairable, but that a new washer was “preferred.” PREFERRED. Common sense would tell anybody that in other words, the washer was defective enough for it to get replaced. Willy did not agree with the “underlying message” within the statement. I expressed my irritation and explained what I had gone through up until that point. After explaining, she sat silent. Willy did not help me whatsoever, and repeatedly stated that a refund could not be processed without the proper documentation. She informed me that another tech could come out to do the job but as I stated to her in utter disbelief in the position I was back in that I was done with going back and forth with the situation. The lack of communication, miscommunication, and terrible customer service I have experienced with this company is something I thought I would never have to deal with, since Samsung in my opinion was one of the top credible electronic companies. To conclude, because I WAS a loyal Samsung customer, I believed a solution to satisfy the errors of this newly purchased washer machine purchased not even a year ago could have been accomplished by the company in the form of a full refund to go towards a new and working washer machine. I saved my money for this major purchase to not be able to use it. I always thought the Samsung brand name meant quality and they cared about their customers enough to not be given the run around. I was given so many excuses throughout the process and not one solution came about within the past 4 months. At this point I am tired, irritated, completely and utterly UNSATISFIED with my purchase and the customer service of Samsung. Through every phone call, a total of 4 technicians coming out, various ticket numbers given, reps spoken to, false assurances and measures taken, I am still left with a brand new, recalled, dust collecting, defective washer machine that I purchased with my hard earned money.

Samsung wireless cellphone charger, wrong model sent, escalations do nothing to resolve this issue

Dear Sir,
I am writing to you in hopes that you can remedy this situation. On 3/13/17, I purchased from Samsung.com a 3 bundle deal which included the galaxy S7 edge, 128 gb photo card, and the wireless charger . Samsung sent the wrong charger, they sent the EP-TG930BBUGUS INSTEAD of the TG-935BBUGUS. I HAVE CALLED VARIOUS TIMES AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD TAKE 3-5 BUSINESS DAYS FOR SAMSUNG TO E-MAIL ME A FEDEX RETURN SHIPMENT LABEL. I WOULD THEN RECEIVE EITHER THE 935 CHARGER OR A CODE TOUSE ON THE INTERNET TO GET IT FOR FREE AFTER THE WRONG CHARGER WAS SENT BACK. I HAVE COMPLIED AND IT IS MORE THAN ONE WEEK AND NOW THEY ARE ASKING FOR MORE TIME. THIS IS JUST AN EXCHANGE FOR THE WRONG PART SENT, YET NO ONE ACTS. IF I donot receive a reply from Samsung as to how this situation will be remedied, I will contact the NYS ATTY GENERALS OFFICE CONSUMER AFFAIRS FRAUD DIVISION, THE NYS OFFICE OF PUBLIC ADVOCATE, , AS WELL AS THE Better Business Bureau and others and I WILL SEND THE ENTIRE SHIPMENT, PHONE, 128GB CARD AND WRONG CHARGER BACK TO SAMSUNG. I WILL CONTACT MY BANK TO CREDIT ME THE MONEY SPENT ON THIS PRODUCT AND PLEASE REST ASSURRED, I WILL NOT INCUR A RESTOCKING FEE AS YOUR LACK OF ACTION TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN NON EXISTENT.I AM TRYING TO KINDLY WORK WITH YOU PEOPLE SO WE MAY ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BUT I GET NO FEEDBACK FROM YOUR ORGANIZATION. YOU CAN READ ALL INFO VIA MY CASE AT CASE confirmation # escalation 105227.Please call me @ [protected] asap to address this mistake on your part, which by the way, has affected other people also. Once I send everything back, there will be no chance for anyone to fix this. Think of it, you send me a wrong part and you have no return department via e-commerce at Samsung. I spoke to Supervisor Brandon, badge number 2285701. He has been trying to rectify this mistake by escalating it at least 3 times, yet no one in corporate listens or tries to correct an immense wrong
Sincerely
Reuben Febus/ [protected]

Samsung Over the range microwave only 6 months old

Unit stopped working on march 2, and was reported to Samsung that day. It took two weeks for them to send someone out At first they demanded that I send a copy of the sales receipt.which I did They then said it wasnt under warranty, when the paperwork that came with the unit clearly says it has one year parts and Labour. Then they claimed that the receipt was for a refrigerator . I read them the part number and the price of $ 169.00 and wanted to know which refrigerators they sold for $169.00
Finally a tech came out from Lakes Electronics, and said it was a loose wire and he had fixed it. the next morning the microwave still didnt turn on
I Called lakes Electronics back, and they sent the tech out again . This time he did not take the unit down, but claimed to have photographed a cockroach in the unit, so therefore the warranty was void due to infestation.
I pointed out that even if there was one roach that was not an infestation.
Nevertheless, they refused to service the unit under the warranty.
I am sure that if I had offered to pay for the service, the roach would have no longer been a problem. I requested to Samsungs (office of the president) that they take back the unit and refund my money. however, they did not respond.
Today My son in law and I took down the unit and examined it carefully.
Of course, there was no trace of a cockroach, and when we remounted the microwave back in its space, miraculously, everything worked fine
It has taken 23 days to get to where we are today, and hours of unbearable stress and frustration.
I have made a promise to myself to never ever buy a Samsung product again, and to tell all my friends and neighbours of what I been put through
by Samsung and Lakes Electronics
I guess I should be grateful that the unit didnt blow up.
I advise everyone to think twice before dealing with Samsung.

Samsung appliance complaint and warning

Do not I repeat do not buy any Samsung Appliances.
We made our home all Samsung appliances because we like our electronics from Samsung. Big huge mistake. All appliances that we bought which include kitchen Dishwasher, Refrigerator, stove and microwave are of very poor quality and very disappointing. We are stuck with them cause I did not buy extra insurance and Warranty. Will sure that they wont last long.
The service for repair is even worse. I cannot begin to tell you. My blood pressure is on the low end and right now I am so furious with their customer service and repair. They cancelled my ticket repair after waiting for 3 days for them to call me only to tell me that when I called back they cancelled my ticket because they claimed to have called me 3 times and no one answered . No one ever called the 2 numbers they had on records and they could have left Voicemail to call back which they did not we checked our phone and we did not have any missed calls from them Their Headquarters is in Seoul, South Korea so good luck if you have appliances from Samsung. I tell all my friends not to but any of it.

Samsung potential privacy concerns with new samsung televisions

I am very concerned about some of the "innovations" Samsung is proposing to introduce in its new and future TVs.

Although this problem is not exclusive to TVs, I was planning on buying a top of the line Samsung TV next year, but I will NOT purchase any TV that incorporates bugging devices such as microphones and/or cameras!

I ask myself, who has the most to gain from such "features", and the answer is simple: personal user information merchants, spy agencies, and of course, hackers. So why is Samsung proposing to introduce such Orwellian devices hard wired into their products?

I need a microphone and camera in my TV like I need a hole in my head, and if the TV gets hacked at some stage and my personal information or video footage ends up on the Internet, Samsung will be the first to deny any responsibility for the problem.
