Samsung Fridge Freezer I'm I going mad ?

[WTFH]

I buy appliances based on their size as well as colour and the SMEG was the wrong size.

SMEG do black ones, and I've heard from a lady friend that once you've tried black there's no going back.

Does the fridge bit work? I had a similar problem with my freezer not working once but, oddly enough, the fridge was way too cold. When the engineer came out it turned out I'd installed it upside down.

good point , well made.

maybe this one is inside out

This doesn't apply to you, but fridge freezers often only have one temperature sensor, on the fridge. If it's in the garage over winter it might not switch on.

Had engineer visit who confirmed it was faulty blocked system apperently can happen if its stood around long time not used. At least I know I was not going mad now, Currys should of replaced it when I first called them the day after delivery, shocking service from them tbh.

That's why you don't buy appliances from Currys.

You go there to look at them then get a similar* model from AOL.

Whose nice delivery men will put it where you want as long as it isn't an American fridge freezer.

*Same model but with different number so you can't do those price comparison things

A few years ago I made the mistake of buying a Samsung American style fridge freezer - also from Currys. In the 2 years we had it the compressor was replaced twice and also the controller. I argued with Samsung that the product was not fit for purpose and after much hassle accepted their offer of about %80 of the purchase price as a refund.

Yeah a lesson learnt wont use Currys or buy Samsung again not because of the fact it was faulty but how it was all dealt with. According to the engineer the fridge / freezer needed a complete re-gas freezer wouldn't go to below -10, when it supposed to go to -23.

Along with a lifetime supply of CD-ROMs and a twenty-dollar-a-month email account?
