I just bought a Bosch a year ago. My surface front stainless dents for no reason. We are not rough on our appliances. We have had other fridges that this hasn’t happened.
Many other finishing touches that aren’t right. Will never buy a Bosch again
Very frustrating.

Bosch, KitchenAid, Frigidaire, Viking, SubZero, etc..
Samsung is for TVs and Phones..not appliances.
I'm a longtime KitchenAid kitchen appliance suite loyalist, but even they aren't quite what they used to be in longevity. None of 'em really are.

Can't speak for their fridges but I swear by their dishwasher. Wouldn't surprise me if they're quality across the board in kitchen appliances.
As for OP, we bought a side-by-side Whirlpool a couple of years ago and it's been good.

This sounds like a fixable problem. Probably just the ice machine supply line.

They are all trash unless you go high end like JennAir.
You have to spend a few K to get even a decent appliance now.

Samsung fridges have been fine for over a decade for me, with the exception of the well known issue with the ice maker freezing up. Samsung apparently forces their repair techs to try six or seven things, which require different visits, before they replace the part that actually causes the issue, even though there are youtube videos all over on it.
I'd honestly stick with Korean (LG, Samsung). If there's a water leak issue, that's could be a very, very simple fix with a 50 cent attachment. I'm not an appliance tech, but it sounds like the water line popped off.

I’m tempted to buy an LG just because it does this…

Probably a faulty o-ring on the end of the filter. I've never had this problem buying generic filters, but I also checked to make sure things weren't leaking ten minutes after I installed them, not a weekend later.

All refrigerators are trash. Just talk to any appliance repair guy who has been in the business a while. They use cheaper parts, flimsier metal, crappy pipes and tubes, and cheaper condensers than they did 20-30 years ago. And now they are putting Wifi and TV's in them which is just more shite that will break.
But it's not all on the manufacturers. Part of it is the EPA passes new regulations every few years that is forcing manufacturers to make them more and more energy efficient. And to do this, they have to make them less reliable. (I guess the government doesn't mind that tons of fridges end up in landfills after 2 or 3 years as long as we save a few watts of power).
My last two fridges both went out in under 3 years. In the first case, the repair man told me he could fix it, but it would cost more than buying a new one. With the second fridge, the repairman told me "I can't fix it, you need a new one." The first fridge died just after my warranty expired. Luckily the 2nd fridge was still under warranty.
So just pick your poison. Whirlpool, GE, Frigidaire. All are of the same low quality. If you have the $$ you could opt for a commercial fridge. They might give you longer life.

Try to avoid ice makers in the fridge. Those are always a problem

JennAir is just a fancier Whirlpool / Kitchenaid.

I bet you accidentally pushed one of the o rings off the track on the filter.

Nap, what brands not 12k in cost can you get without an ice maker? Thank you.
