12. Worst refrigerator I ever had was a Samsung.

It lasted in “working order” maybe two years maximum. The icemaker worked for about one year in good order. And the ice maker required a repair man at least once a month while it was still under a one-year warranty.

The top of the line French door with a bottom freezer and a separate middle drawer for snacks. It was the most expensive Samsung made at the time. It literally had to be thrown in the trash it was in such bad condition after two years total.

It’s not like it had a lot of use. I am a widow and live alone except for a small Scottish terrier.
