I know a guy who ran the local Home Depot appliance department. He is now retired.
He said Samsung were by far the worst appliances.
They had by far the most amount of repairs. Second was LG.
He recommended that I never buy those brands.

We had to replace our Samsung washing machine after 5 years. Had our old Kenmore washing machine for 25 years.

LG sold a bunch with a bad compressor design.

Also, LG has programmed their smart TVs to not only spy on you, but to use the smart TVs to use other wifi devices in the house as agents to spy on you in other rooms.

At this point, LG is on my ‘no buy’ list.

Had a Samsung refrigerator for about 15 years. It was nice when we first got it home, but it was steadily downhill after that. Earlier this year it completely quit working. One icemaker quit after about five years. Second one quit a few years later. Automatic defrost quit after five or six years too. We had to remove all the shelves and pull the back panel off the interior every year and thaw the block of ice that collected on the evaporator with a hot-air gun. That was an all-day procedure. It was a terrible purchase.

Got a GE to replace it. Seems to be OK, but it’s still pretty new.

I have an LG TV that the company bricked after I owned it for 5 years. I won’t sign their new user agreement for data collection. I disconnected it from the internet.
I can use the TV as a monitor which I am doing using an old computer.
I’ll never buy LG again.

The guy who did maintenance on our JennAir said the exact same thing. We hate our JennAir — built by Whirlpool — but it came with the house.
