Sounds like a great concealed carry (do they have any light weight ammo for washing machines?)

So...If your standing at your Samsung washer talking on your Samsung phone and they both explode can you sue twice if you survive?

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Turn the knob to “non-explode”...

awesome!

Your family can, if you can’t..................

How many ever thought you'd see that headline? Bet none of these ever blew up:

So do we! Washer, dryer, range, and refrigerator.

LG and Samsung are competitors and are totally unrelated except for the fact that both companies are based in South Korea.

Samsung: The phone with the built-in toaster.

New Samsung ad: Who said washing clothes has to be boring? Samsung has made it a blast.

It’s next to the fireplace so I’m in good shape!

“Samsungs advice...? Just use another wash cycle? WTF?” == Turn the knob to “non-explode”.

As a youngster, growing up in Connecticut, I was curious about the oil burner switch at the top of the basement stairs with the bright red warning plate around it, and the metal cover to thwart accidental switching.

My father told me that was the switch to blow the furnace up. I believed him. It LOOKED like a switch that was meant to blow the furnace up, and I never flipped it. Despite occasional nightmares about the furnace blowing up, however, I THOUGHT about flipping it.

So basically their front-load washer has become a cannon?

...kewl!

Samsung should stick with what they know..TV’s..the second they expand out and try other areas it always fails. We have 3 Samsung TVs(One from 2008 and two others, one from 2011 and another one from 2012) and they are all working fine..surprised that my 2008 500 dollar is still working fine but I do want to upgrade, maybe the KS8000 but will see what comes out on Black Friday
We have a Frigidare Dishwasher, NOTHING but problems..have had it replaced 5 times, always issues, not sure if its the water supply but the cups always come out looking dirty even after its been washed

[Red Badger]

My dishwasher is a Frigidaire. El Cheapo model. Works fine as long as you place the dishes properly.

Try adding a cup of bleach (no soap) to an empty washer and put it on the longest cycle.

Maybe that will solve your problem.............

[Verbosus]

That is great!
Thanks for the laugh.

[Sarah Barracuda]

They told us to use Vinegar but that didnt work..they said that it can depend on the water in the area always comes out looking filmy so we have to rewash them by hand..got ours at Sears many years ago

It’s not good news when fireworks companies are in headlines either.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

If they could get the damn thing to fold the clothes after it blew up I would buy it!

[RckyRaCoCo]

May want to try the matching exploding dryer.

Bought a Samsung stove , (used), at an auction, it was about 2 years old. Worked fine for 2+ years, then one day Bang! , a loud popping noise and burnt electronics smell. Did not buy a Samsung to replace it.
