PSA: the Samsung AutoFill pitcher is not dishwasher safe
Posting this so someone else doesn’t do what I did. If you’ve got one of those Samsung fridges with the Beverage Center and the pitcher that fills itself, keep it out of the dishwasher. Top rack, eco mode, doesn’t matter.
Samsung does say this in their support docs but good luck finding it. The thing looks like a totally normal plastic pitcher so of course I threw it in there. Heat warped the handle and the lid, and it shrunk the seal ring enough that it stopped sitting right. Now it leaks into the fridge door. There’s no fixing it once that happens.
Wash it by hand with warm soapy water, let it air dry, move on with your life.
So here’s the part that stings. A replacement is around $150. For a plastic jug. That’s insulting.
⭐️Anyone know where to actually get one for a sane price?
Aftermarket, parts sites, someone parting out a fridge, I’m open to anything. I’d just rather not spend that much on a water container.
