1. Gather All Documentation:
Purchase Records: Find your receipt from Reno Depot showing the exact model, purchase price, and date.
Repair Documentation: Have all records of communications with Samsung (emails, phone transcripts, etc.), service visit reports detailing parts ordered and any failures to fix the problem.
Food Loss: If possible, document the estimated value of lost food with a list and photos, if available.
2. Escalate Within Samsung:
Request Manager: Contact Samsung customer service again. Calmly explain the situation, emphasize the expense, and firmly request to speak to a supervisor or manager.
Be Clear and Concise: Summarize the issue (fridge breakdown, multiple failed repairs, duration, and additional costs). Express that you are dissatisfied and want an exchange or refund.
Cite Relevant Policies: Check Samsung's website for warranties or guarantees. You may have rights under their policies that the representative is unaware of.
3. Consumer Protection:
State Agency: Research your state's consumer protection agency. They may have specific laws regarding appliance warranties or defective products. File a formal complaint providing all documentation
Small Claims Court: If other options fail, consider small claims court. The filing fees are usually low, and this shows Samsung you're serious. Legal advice from a consumer law attorney can be valuable here.
4. Leverage Publicity (If Necessary):
Social Media: If Samsung remains unresponsive, post your story on social platforms (Twitter, Facebook) tagging Samsung directly. Bad publicity can motivate companies to act.
Local Media: Contact consumer reporters at local news stations or newspapers. Your experience could become a cautionary tale.
Writing Tips For all Communication:
Professional Tone: Keep your frustration from turning into hostility. Present your case clearly and firmly with all facts.
Timelines: Include dates of purchase, breakdown, calls, service visits etc. This highlights the unreasonable length of the problem.
Highlight Costs: Mention the appliance cost, lost food, and any other expenses (takeaway meals, etc.) due to the issue.
Additional Considerations:
Reno Depot: While they claim their responsibility has ended, their initial sale of a defective product could still hold weight. Pressure them for assistance, especially if you have a good track record as a customer.
Credit Card Company: If you used a credit card, check if they have purchase protection that might cover refunds in these situations.
Remember, persistence is key. This will likely take some time, but documenting everything and taking a multi-pronged approach will maximize your chances of success.
