i purchased a samsung because of the name recognition an previously having purchased components of theirs before. i have had the fridge for seven months and it has performed great until now. the freezer has quit working. it will only cool down to about 40 degrees. i read reviews saying that this is common and that the fridges do not have a long life span. i hope that this is the only issue i have with it but think that the quality samsung claims to have that this is poor quality components. i have had to go buy another refrigerator until the service department from the company i bought it from comes out to fix it. again i understand things do happen and that this is the only instance. i do love the fridge.
