Yes...The Samsungtags... Still can't believe that washer lasted us 9 years and the dryer is still going. I'm actually tempted to give another front loader a try again since I've finally cooled off from my excessively long relationship with that thing. |

I think explosion is a tad strong. how about a catastrophic disassembly event instead? |

CNN is also reporting on it:
money.cnn.com/2016/09/28/news/sam... Brings back memories of my GE top-load washer. Good times lol, good times. :P With that said I'll stick to Speed Queen. |

a lithium battery with water is the worst you can do, especially on an airliner. Use a fire extinguisher, baking soda, or flour. Sixty percent, at least of them have been returned. As for modern top load washers, sadly this is old news. |

I owned two that were very dependable. Any machine can break with age. These are new washers. |

Ford cars are very fine cars. The panther platform is a fine example. Grand Marquis, Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car. Many years of service both in commercial and private sector use. |

The Ford reference from above is surely how they got away with a dash label instead of a proper recall when it was found their cars would go from park to reverse on their own.
www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2012/03... This always frosted me, they killed people with this problem and got off with a label. The Audi 5000 did a full recall and their only prob was that of user error (pedal misapplication). |

Found this interesting video showing a Samsung washer exploding on camera while it happened. The safety sensors are disabled and overloaded. It closely resembles many Samsung units after they have exploded. |

The batteries in the Samsung phones were the culprits in their phones "failure".The DVD machine doesn't have batteries-except in its remote control.Not worried about that. |
