Washing machines Samsung like Galaxy Note 7-risk explosion – The Republic



EXPLOSIONS at home: it is a time inauspicious for Samsung after the Galaxy Note 7 explosive tap to washing machines of the asian giant to make a “boom”. The company has made it known to be in contact with the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on how to deal with potential security problems of some of its washing machines. Some of the models to load from the top products, between march 2011 and April 2016, in fact, “explode”. It is not an explosion-style “battery of the Galaxy Note 7″, no flames, but the effect is similar, with the washing machine that goes into the pieces. The problem then is mechanical.

“In rare cases, the unit affected may experience abnormal vibrations that could represent a risk for persons or things when you wash the bed sheets, bulky items, or water-resistant,” said Samsung on its website. According to the south Korean company’s customers with the washing machine “offending” (you can verify the ownership by entering the serial number in a specific site) should use the cycle wash delicate, lower-speed, when you wash that kind of material. It is not clear at the time the number of models affected by the problem (the cases of “explosion” is 21 by 2015) and if this is limited to the United States. The company does, however, note that we have completed hundreds of millions of sedges without incident since 2011.

Samsung is also facing a lawsuit of some customers in the u.s., which, on the basis of a complaint filed with the New Jersey court on the 12th of August, have seen their washing machines “explode during normal use”. ABC News recounts the experience of the 32-year-old Melissa Thaxton of Dallas. His washing machine exploded on April 8, 2016. “It was a sound fortissimo. It looked like a bomb exploded next to my ear,” he explained. “There were wires and nuts scattered around, and the lid was on the floor”. To make the most scary thing is that the son, Luke, 4 years and it was right next to her, close to the appliance. Fortunately both were unharmed. The south Korean company remains is therefore to solve the new problem, and hope that the world will forget quickly what had happened. Then you will move to phase 2, a nice “cleaned image”.
