Both companies said that Samsung has had many complaints for this same reason this is dangerous, I've had service twice each time they charge $150.00 just to come out. I have hundreds twice a new gasket, coil cleaned , compressor checked and still sweating and temperature problems. When purchasing I bought refrigerator, dishwasher and stove all to match. Service men both told me to replace it with a different manufacture. I paid $1400 for it and have $750.00 for repairs and today nothing has changed.
