Do You Have a Samsung Washing Machine?

[imastawka]

A voluntary recall of washing machines blamed for more than 200 fires across the country is being made mandatory in New South Wales.

In 2013, Samsung issued a recall on six types of top-loaders sold between 2010 and 2013.

Of the 144,000 machines sold across Australia, 55,000 were sold in NSW.

It was on the radio and news again here yesterday Kopes.  I love my Samsung toploader so I was a disappointed when I first heard about this.

Since the recall has been going on for a while, what happens if people have a serious problem?  Do you think their insurance will cover it when they should have had their machines looked at by now?  I think they will be telling them to take it up with Samsung.

Still love mine.  I was worried I would regret switching from a front loader but I'm glad I made the decision.
