Around here, the cost of a service call can easily exceed fifty percent of the cost of a new appliance. If I can't fix myself, I buy a new appliance. If repair info is difficult or impossible to find, I won't buy that brand.
We bought a Samsung refrigerator about seven or eight years ago, had the control panel replaced under warranty (which would cost about 1/3 of the purchase cost if paid out of pocket, once you add labor it's time for a new refrigerator in my book). The filtered water function has died, didn't use that much anyway so that hasn't been addressed, but other than that it has performed extremely well. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 On April 3, 2016 12:32:39 AM EDT, rogerhga--- via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: >I'm always amazed that you guys are always complaining about Maytag.
