My old samsung gave up after 8 years and the repair shop told me it would be nearly as expensive to fix as to purchase a new one. I opted for an LG this time and thus far am very pleased with my decision. It seems to have much more interior space compared to my old fridge of the same dimensions this is due to the ice maker location and configuration.  The placement of the inside lights also make the interior seem much brighter. So far I really like this refrigerator.
