Samsung Faces Class Action Lawsuit Over Defective Ice Makers

A class-action lawsuit has been filed by consumers who purchased Samsung refrigerators and have discovered the ice maker is defective.

  1. I would like to be listed on the Class action lawsuit in regards to the ice makers on my Samsung Refrigerator model RF28K9070SR/AA it is 3 years old and has been a problem since I purchased the unit at a local appliance store, and

  2. I live in NC. We bought our Samsung at Lowes 2/2022. The compressor for the icemaker and fridge broke. Before the fridge broke down, I got food poisoning twice from what I believe was not cold enough chicken. We waited several days for someone to come out and do a diagnostic. He barely spoke English. In he’s broken Asian accent he told us he did not have the tools to fix it. That no one in NC had the tools to fix our refrigerator. At lease that is what we understood. We tried to reach customer service and they gave us the run around. My husband got fed up and tried going up the chain and tried to contact the CEO office. They gave us the run around also. I finally had enough and went to Lowes and told them to come pick up the fridge. They did pick it up but I have yet to see a refund on our credit card. Worst company ever. I hope you make them pay. People shouldn’t have to live out of a cooler for weeks having to get ice every day. I got sick again drinking milk that was not cold enough. Thank you for reading. Good luck!!!!

  3. I would like to be included in the Class Action lawsuit in regards to the ice maker on my Samsung Refrigerator model RF220NCTASG which I purchased in 2018. It’s been a problem since I purchased. I replaced the ice maker once and it’s doing the same thing again. Stopped making ice. So annoying for the money I paid.

  4. I would like to be included on the Class Action lawsuit in regards to the ice maker on my Samsung Refrigerator Model Number RF23J9011SG/AA. It was purchased in September 2017.

My husband said I’ll accept a free one.

  5. I would like to be included in the class action lawsuit against Samsung regarding Samsung refrigerator model RF25HMEDBSR/AA purchased in 2017. Shortly after purchase, I called for service from the company I purchased from about the ice maker leaking. It was under warranty at that time. January 2020, I called for service again as it was still leaking and not making much ice at that time. They replaced a part. It was still under warranty; but I had to buy a new ice holder as original was cracked. August 2021 it was still leaking and this time warranty was out. I called the store for service and was told I needed a new ice maker. I ordered this from the store at a cost close to $400.00. Each service call cost me $100.00 before they would come out. I also just replaced my Samsung range which was purchased at the same time as the refrigerator. It was going to cost me over $600.00 so I bought a new one. Not a Samsung.

  6. I would like to be included in the Samsung Class Action Lawsuit. The icemaker on our Samsung side-by-side refrigerator freezes up, melts and then dispenses crushed ice when it on the cube setting. It inadvertently quits making ice, then it had started making ice again, melting again, and dispenses crushed ice. Now, it has quit altogether. Model # RS22HDHPNSR/AA.

  7. Our 3 yo Samsung ice-maker constantly freezes. We would like to be included in the lawsuit. We follow the defrost instructions but the unit re-freezes within a month.

  8. I would like to be included in the Samsung Class Action Lawsuit. The icemaker on our Samsung French door refrigerator has been a nightmare! We have had it serviced about 5 times, and replaced once. It freezes up, stopped dispensing anything and now doesn’t turn on at all. Model #RF28JBEDBSG and shows that it was “manufactured October 2016”.

  9. I would like to be included in the lawsuit. My ice maker has had issues since day one. Samsung is aware of the issue and has a replacement part to fix it. That part cost around $200 plus the the cost to have it installed. Have contacted Samsung customer service and they refuse to to cover any of the repair cost in what is clearly a design flaw. I’ll never buy Samsung anything again. Ever!
    Model # RF23J90115R/AA

  11. My Samsung refrigerator , model rf28r7351sr/aa, was purchased in 2020 and we have had non stop problems with the ice maker freezing up so badly that we can’t even remove the tray. We have to force a defrost! It’s ridiculous and we are angry that Samsung has known about this problem and continues to sell it. It should be recalled. We want a refund to purchase a different refrigerator with a worry free ice maker. We would like to join a class action law suit If possible.

  12. I purchased my home in March of 2020 and the Samsung French Door Refrigerator was part of my home purchase.
    Model Code # RF25HMEDBSG/AA Date of Manufacture August 2016
    It has been froze up for the entire time I have lived here, completed frosted over . I tried to shut off the ice maker and it has never defrosted. How do I file the class action claim ?

  13. I’d like to be included in the Samsung ice maker class action law suit. Bought mine in July 2017 and the ice maker quit making ice in 2019. I paid $353 to replace a part and it still doesn’t work. It freezes up and soon after I “unfreeze” it, it freezes up again. So frustrating. Model RF28HMEDBWW/AA.

  14. I would like to be included as we have had nothing but problems since day one. Needing to take blow dryer out to defrost build up many times, until it finally dies, we just replaced yesterday, pay $500 to fix. NOt cool for not an old fridge.

  15. I also would like to be included in this claim. I purchased TWO of these refrigerators from Costco, Rf23J9011SR/AA. I have tried to get them to help with the issues for the past year and a half maybe more. I had not been made aware of the class action lawsuit but I am sure as a supplier they must have known. Non stop and exactly the same issues on both. Ice maker freezes and is non functional. Purchased in 2017. Also the shelving has split and separated. I don’t know how that even happens. Kenmore, my previous fridge lasted 20+ years . This is a poor design and quality is lacking.

  16. I would also like to be included in the lawsuit. My Samsung fridge model # RF265BEAESR/AA was purchased at Home Depot, Nov. 2017. We paid $295 for the 5 year protection plan, and was happy we did as the ice maker kept freezing so A &E Factory service sent the repair man out and he could not fix the ice maker 4 times ( we asked for a different repairman which we did not get) before replacing the entire ice unit in Oct. & Nov of 2021. He continually forced the new unit to fit in the fridge, also replaced the mother board in the back of the fridge and replaced the broken french door assy (to hold the camera and seal the door when closed) which spoiled our food because the door would not seal correctly and leaked cold air. Now, not even 16 months later ( and of course the warranty is no longer in force) the ice maker leaks water into the fridge and the ice doesn’t stay frozen. Even though we only paid the $295 for the extended warranty ( $0 for the repairs), I would much rather have a fridge, like the older ones, which lasted much much longer without problems.

  17. I would also like to be included into the lawsuit. I bought my fridge in 2021 and my ice maker has quit making ice. Well it decides when it wants to make ice. I will go days without it making ice. I try resetting, unplugging the fridge, replacing filter, everything while even calling an expert. I would like help. I even have the smart things app and do the self diagnosis on it and it just says that everything is working fine. My Model number is RF28R7201SR/AA

  18. I would like to be included in the Class Action lawsuit against Samsung . We have a model #RF28N9780SR, manufactured May 2018 and purchased in July 2018. The ice maker constantly freezes up and stops making ice. We are constantly having to defrost the entire unit in order to get it to make ice again.

  19. I have the model RF28K9070SRIAA causing issues since I purchased it. Apparently did not know about the lawsuit. Would like to know if anyone got the settlement with Samsung? is Samsung offering a replacement of refund?

    1. We have the model RF25HMEDBSR/AA. Started having problems with the ice maker and the door soon after purchasing it. A repairman came out and fixed the door and (fixed at) the ice maker. It worked for a while then frozen up again. Consulted with utube and started de-icing as instructed and after doing that for about 2 years, it has now stopped working altogether. Please add us to the lawsuit.

  20. I bought a Samsung Rf265beae fridge in 8/14/2020 and I’ have the extended warranty and I’m having issues since 06/22, I have water damage in my wood floors since then, My fridge still licking and no parts available yet to fixed. I want to be added in the Lawsuit.

  21. We have model: Model: RF23R6201SG/AA. We have been having problems with the ice maker and had a repairman come out and fix it in 6/22. It has stopped making ice again.
