The product, in the report: Washing machine platinum in color top loader
On Sunday October 2, 2016 my top loader Samsung washer exploded while washing a mattress cover. The force pushed the washer and dryer from the wall in my laundry room causing a very loud boom. It sounded like the a bomb went off inside my home.I purchased it January 2012 almost 5 years ago. I called Samsung to report this and was promised a full refund.
