My girlfriend has a Samsung fridge, going strong for around 12 years now. It's absolutely fine.
All brands are going to have duds and winners, that's just the way it is.
I know a few people with Samsungs that have had the fridge replaced twice under warranty due to several issues. I don't think Samsung is a good fridge company.
Samsung appliances are fucking trash. When we bought our house it came with a Samsung washer and dryer. I was constantly repairing the stupid dryer, and the washer coin trap would drain directly into the pedestal anytime I tried to clean it. we sold them a month ago and bought a new set from a different manufacturer.
Why would a washer in a house have a coin trap?
It isn't for coin operation, it is for catching small stuff that falls out during the wash like coins from pockets.
A lint trap?
No, a coin trap.

You know, I had forgotten we were talking about a washer. A lint trap didn't even make sense.
EDIT: Surprisingly, I checked mine in this past year when I was having trouble with my washer. I didn't know that's what it was called though. It had nothing in it even though I've definitely washed some coins. They end up in my lint trap in the drier.
You're being overly charitable. I think Samsung knows exactly what they're doing and has deliberate planned obsolescence down to a science. If anything, your anecdotes are the outliers because for most people, they fail just barely outside warranty, by design.
Source: I owned a Samsung washer where the main bracket supporting the drum was very clearly also the sacrificial anode.
