First the phones, now the washing machines.

Oh, that's not good.

What a span of production time, too!  yikes!

Samsung has always had a stellar reputation for all types of electronics and these things are really going to make a dent.

@chickenbutt  Hi  chickenbutt - and what is really scary is that they are saying to use only a low spin cycle to prevent damage to people and walls!!!   Freaking flying washing machines is all I can picture!!

I agree that Samsung has always been a good name, too.

I have a Samsung washer and dryer that I love. Thankfully mine are front loading.  The exploding machines are on top loaders.

Now there's a way to get out of doing laundry!

@mima  Hi MIMA: Thank you - I just edited my thread title- I should have specified in my post, although the model(s) of which top loader has not been identified yet.

If a pressure cooker can do so much damage, think of what a washing machine can do..,,,,,,,

I've seen message boards about this and some say it could those machines that were not leveled when installed.

@LizzieInSRQ   Interesting- I could see those machines shaking enough to fall off a stand since some people overload their machines but I think this might be a different situation.

If the machines were installed by delivery persons then that could be a real issue.

Thanks for sharing this. It's good that we didn't buy a Samsung Washing Machine when we were looking to buy a month ago.
