    Hi,
    Planning to buy a new American style fridge freezer; either LG or Samsung.
    Are there any models that should be avoided and any known issues we should look out for?
    Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
    thanks!

    LG and Samsung have had problems of some sort or other over the years. The main thing we find with these two Korean brands is spares being long winded in some cases. That said they are about the best when it comes to features etc.

    If your budget allows look at Liebherr as they are “the” best. Otherwise Beko are worth a look as are the AEG’s

    Thank you so much for replying.

    Is it easy to get Liebherr serviced? Is there adequate customer support here in UK?
    Do you have any views on the Bosch KSV36VLEP fridge and GSN36VLFP freezer?

    Thank you.

    Liebherr service is supplied by service engineers across the UK there is pre purchase advice line on this link which may help.

    Bosch don’t make any of their refrigeration most if not all is made By Daewoo and others. Generally speaking we have found the quality and reliability to be good.

    Thank you for you prompt response. We were also looking at Liebherr CNSFD5703. Is it possible to have 2 of these side by side? Also, how easy is it to find a connecting kit for this model? Many thanks again

    Nothing to stop you from putting two of those side by side, I am not sure if they produce a linking kit though. It may be wise to phone the pre purchase advice line I gave in my previous post.

    Let us know the answer please as it may help others in the future.

    Update:

    So I called Liebherr today and this particular model/almost all top down fridge freezers need to have a 10 cm gap because there is a side wall heater to prevent condensation.

    So that leaves us with stand alone fridges and freezers only for side by side installation.
