Much sympathy Graham, but Iâm not sure youâll get many replies. Weâve all got kitchens full of modern white goods and weâre all terrified of tempting fate.
Our Samsung fridge freezer is starting to crap out too, freezing up behind the veg drawer, thus freezing any veg at the back of the drawer, and the water dispenser is kaput (probably a solenoid so thatâs fixable), but the other day we worked out it was 17 years old and we got it in a sale for ÂŁ750, so not too bad really. Trying to find someone whoâll work on a Samsung American fridge freezer is bloody difficult.
Equivalent is double the price so hoping it can be fixed
FWIW Iâd persevere and get someone round to see to it while itâs still functioning,. Soonest anyone could come out to us was 8 days, we considered that an unreasonable delay when thereâs no guarantee a repair is possible.
A year ago in short succession we had to replace a washing mc, hob, oven, dishwasher and mixer -All around nine years old - Our Fridge a large Panasonic one of the same age seems OK.
The same thing just happened to our LG. Unfortunately the water pipe up the freezer door has frozen and I canât face defrosting the freezer or removing the door so it still doesnât work. The guy that replaced the water valve for us was Gary cross on +44 7766 157436
Go to the brandâs websites and look at repairs. They are often carried out by 3rd parties but you can get a yearâs âwarranty contractâ included in the repair and is usually a fixed price repair.
Our very expensive boiler is just 6 years old has required two visits from Worcester Bosch, and has so many new parts (including a MASSIVE chunk of aluminium that I think is the heat exchanger that was COMPLETELY choked with shit just from burning gas!) that itâs basically just the white panels on the outside that remain from the originalâŚ
VERY fucking glad of W-Bâs no quibble 10 year guarantee, notwithstanding itâll probably shit itself to death at 10-years-and-a-day âŚ
