Samsung Class Action Lawsuit Filed Over Top-Loading Washing Machine Recall

A class action lawsuit has been filed against Samsung over problems with top-loading washing machines, which were recalled last year amid reports that they may begin to shake violently and explode, resulting in debris that has injured several consumers.

Oklahoma resident Jerry Wells filed a complaint (PDF) in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma on January 13, 2017, seeking class action status to represent all individuals who purchased one of the recalled Samsung washing machines.

According to allegations raised in the Samsung lawsuit, the manufacturer is trying to force consumers to take a rebate option that will result in additional money being spent with the company, instead of paying for repairs or offering a complete refund for the defective and dangerous washing machines.

The case comes only two months after a Samsung top-loading washing machine recall was issued, impacting about 3 million units. The recall followed at least 733 consumer reports that the machines broke apart or exploded due to excessive vibration.

The Samsung washing machines have reportedly caused at least nine injuries, including a broken jaw and injured shoulder from a consumer being hit by pieces of the metal frames or struck while attempting to control the shaking washing machines. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), many of the reports also included incidents of property damage to surrounding walls and floors in laundry rooms.

Before the recall, a warning was issued on September 30, alerting consumers about the risk that Samsung machines may explode. The warning initiated an investigation by both the CPSC and Samsung, which concluded that the impacted top-loading washing machines can lose balance at high spin speeds with heavy loads, such as bedding or bulkier water resistant items. When the loss of balance occurs, the machines may spin out of control, causing excessive vibration that may result in the top of the frame detaching from the chassis, posing an impact injury risk.

According to the lawsuit, Wells purchased his Samsung washing machine new in May 2013. After the recall was issued, he attempted to schedule a repair or in-home modification, but the lawsuit indicates that the Samsung representative failed to show on at least three separate occasions.

“After learning of Samsung’s recall of the Recalled Washing Machines, Wells has not used his Samsung washing machine because of the danger posed from potentially having his washing machine ‘explode’ during normal use,” the lawsuit states. “In addition to being without a washing machine since November 2016, Wells has spent countless hours on the phone with Samsung attempting to have his defective washing machine repaired or replaced.”

The class action lawsuit names Samsung Electronics America, Inc., and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd as defendants, alleging the manufacturers intentionally delayed and denied repairs for the machines.

The recall statement from Samsung promised customers three choices, which included a warranty extension and in-home repair, a rebate on a new machine, or a complete refund if the consumers had purchased the machine within 30 days of the date the recall was issued. However, the Samsung class action complaint suggests that “Samsung was intentionally cancelling repair of Wells’ Samsung washing machine so that he would be forced to use the rebate, to purchase another Samsung washing machine, thereby creating business for Samsung and saving them money on paying for repairs.”

In reports received by Consumer Affairs, many others have come forward stating that Samsung has either refused to refund them or have also cancelled several appointments, potentially attempting to force consumers to use the rebate option.

Wells is also asking for a court order that would require Samsung to replace parts for all consumers’ washing machines free of charge and in a timely manner, and for the court to bar Samsung from continuing to manufacture top-loading washing machines, given their dangerous nature and poor business ethics.

I’d accept that BUT Samsung has had litigation class action lawsuits and complaints of the very same issues since 2012! The repair company they set up has never even returned calls to replace the lid that Samsung said they’d replace. Here it is a month later and NOW I have a mildew smell on my clothes!!!! I washed the clothes a second time today and used the Persil detergent that makes everything smell wonderful twice!!! The mildew smell is still there. As I’m taking the clothes out I smell the mildew STILL! My gosh I thought let me go google this because I told my husband last week I heard a funny noice and also the clothes were not wringing out completely. He washed a load and said to me, the washer worked fine for me. O.K. I thought and went out to do a load. As I went to take the dog out later I heard the noice coming from the washer again. SO long story short I googled, my husband is always saying Will You Stop googling lol so I googled, “Samsung washer with rust and mildew smell on my clothes and noice coming from washer”. BOOM!! The sites appearing were everywhere with lawsuits, class action lawsuits, etc. Why are we still dealing with this?!? Why hasn’t some Great Attorney stopped this some 8 years later it’s GETTING worse. Am I suppose to like others put the washer in storage and buy another brand so I don’t get killed by an exploding washer SAMSUNG!!!!

    Purchased this machine in 2014 and it has always gone to unbalance when doing any cycle with anything but low spin. Samsung is not a good machine and I waste more time and water trying to wash one load. It rusted after 6 months. They need to give everyone more than $31 for rebate of non samsung washer. I mean really, who is buying a samsung again???

The plastic around the lid on the washer broke, so I called and they sent someone out that installed brackets in accordance with the recall. I then had to call to get them back out to fix the actual lid. No one ever explained that I had ANY options. Seven months later, the lid broke in the exact same spot. They said as a "courtesy" they would repair it. At that point, I asked their technician to check the machine, why is this happening again? He said there was nothing wrong. Guess what? 6 months later, the lid broke in the same spot yet again. That was in May of 2018. Now, in November, the lid broke again in the same spot. When I called, they said I should call the recall dept. Who demanded to know what was wrong with the machine that the lid keeps breaking? Really???? You are asking me? They told me since they put brackets on it, there was nothing more they can do. To call Samsung home service. Which is what I have been doing each time. Again, they wanted to send the same company out to replace the lid like the prior times--the same company that keeps telling me there is nothing wrong with the machine. Meanwhile, I bought the extended warranty on the fridge. They have been out 4 times now. The ice maker has been replaced twice, the front control panel once and now I am currently waiting for the back control panel to come in so they can replace that. I certainly hope that the lawsuit makes them pay. Inferior, dangerous products and horrible repairs.

The unit shakes so bad during the rinse cycle that I'm afraid its going to shake apart!! I contacted Samsung about these issues only to be told that our units was were past the warranty period (1 year from the date of purchase) and was not covered. I purchased an extended warranty when I bought the unit and have been told that rust is not covered under that plan and that Samsung is responsible for both issues anyway. After multiple calls to the Samsung Customer Service number, I finally was able to get them to agree to replace the rusted top, but they would not address the recall issue if they fixed the rust issue. Now I can't get a repairman to come even though Samsung referred my info to a Samsung authorized repair shop. AAAAGH!!! I was led to believe that I was buying high quality/high end appliances which would perform well and last, only to find out their products are crap!! I also own a refrigerator which is terrible too! Last time i'll ever buy Samsung and you can bet that I'll sign on to the law suit too!!

I continued to experience problems with the machine before the rebate, so i contacted several other technicians from Lowe's who said nothing was wrong with the machine. After i received information about the rebate, i made numerous attempts to contact Samsung. After applying the stickers and using the recommended settings, i thought the appliance would be safe. The washer worked for about three years then exploded and damaged our floors. Samsung would not honor the rebate, so we had to purchase another washer from Lowe's at Spartanburg, SC. I am also disappointed that the technicians at Lowe's were not more helpful. I still have the Samsung dryer and it we have to run it three times before the clothes get dry. I also had a technician look at the dryer. We will have to replace the defective dryer, as it is increasing energy costs. Samsung should be held accountable for the damages caused by defective products.

I have a Maytag at my rental that has been in use for at least 20 twenty years. I paid $600 plus for this washer. I should not have to spend another $500 in 3 short years to get a new washer. This is sad and shows a total lack of concern for the customer. Samsung is obviously a money driven company that is not built on costumer satisfaction. How to I join this lawsuit or start one of my own? Thank you in advance for any information provided.

Immediately after purchase, this machine would not clean right. After several months of calls to Samsung to resolve this issue, and doing everything I could to accommodate their suggestions to resolve the issues, they finally sent a repairman out to fix the problem. Apparently, it was the control switch and this was replaced. Even though the machine was repaired, I would still have the same problems, not cleaning clothes, smelly mildewed clothes, clothes still being dry, etc. Now my machine makes weird noises on the spill cycle, almost scary to use. It also fills up water and overflows onto my floor everywhere. The washing machine is complete garbage! This machine is considered part of the recall and I have contacted Samsung to use the rebate offer, but I am afraid now to buy a new washer because reviews have implicated that rebates are not being sent out in a timely manner and people are still waiting months and months for the rebate and still no money. On top of all this, If I do opt to use the rebate, my washer will look differently than my dryer does now as I bought these two as a set. Also, the rebate is a joke. I paid way more for my washer $1299.99 to be exact and the rebate being offered is only $517. Would like to be added to the class action suit against Samsung. Way to go Samsung for "not" sticking by your product and doing millions of people wrong.

That is a joke. I am so stressed out on this because I have had to miss work to come home to meet these service repairmen only to find out that they can't fix my machine. Each call I have made to Samsung is no less than 45 minutes!!!! Their favorite line is "Can I place you on a brief minute hold"!!!!! I also have documentation on my calls....who I spoke to and a ticket number for each call. I am so done with Samsung.....will never purchase another Samsung product.....not ever. My next move is to the Better Business Bureau.

He tried to take my machine away from the wall but nearly scratched the linoleum three times and said he couldn't move it and couldn't fix it. The coup de gras was that at the end as he was leaving, he gave me a DISH network brochure and advertisement and asked me if I'd like to switch to DISH from cable. Needless to say my washer still isn't fixed. I called this week and was transferred to the "executive" division and was told to send a copy of my receipt for a full refund. I did that last week and have heard nothing back. I will never buy Samsung again.

    I chose to have the washer repaired which was done on 02/08/2017. Some of the new wash cycles leave the cothes sopping wet. With no way to remove excess water. The washer is not fully functional. The new wash cycles are fixed so that no high speed spin can be done. I would like to join any class action suite against Samsung. How do I do this?

When I called for repair, the Geek Squad came out and said they would have to order the part. Another month went by and still no word. When the tech came back out he told me there was no replacement part available and he had to go to the local hardware store and purchase zip ties to secure my washer. Then last fall I received the recall information. Filled it out and purchased a new Samsung Front load washing machine 12/2016. The same capacity machine was $1300. Way more than the $583 that was considered a convenience/loyalty rebate. Last month (2/2017) had the tech out because my new washing is leaking water from an unknown location. Fabulous 2 Defective machines! $583 is not even beginning to begin to compensate for the grief and aggravation of having to purchase a new machine. They can buy this one back as well.

We went to buy a new stove and dishwasher, saw I really nice Samsung stove and went with the other brand I liked after this experience.

They will raise the prices on all the washers so it will include the rebates and they won't lose a dime. The $27 doesn't even cover the tax on any new washer. BUY AMERICAN.

They are offering me $49 for a machine I paid almost $900 for 3 years ago. Other than the recall, the machine is in excellent condition. I think $49 is unacceptable and I told them that. I live in Anchorage AK and there are plenty of appliance repair companies here. What other options do I really have?

In my opinion: 1) Repair was just an exercise to collect my signature that something was done to address the recall. Thinking back, I believe the repair was strictly decorative (A crock of Sh...) 2) I never received the sticker package. Again, the idea of slowing the spin speed down tells me nothing was truly fixed. So next time I wash blankets, I may end-up with an exploding washer?

Scheduling was easy and I received my new template the day I had it fixed, which was Jan 5, 2017. I thought it a little strange that the technician was from Dish, but he made the fix in little time with no major problems. When I asked him about the template, he told me I didn't have to use it because the machine had been fixed. Well, that isn't a true statement, so I put the template on. In addition to never being able to wash bedding in hot water with a soil level higher than light, if you read the documentation that came with the template, legally, we can never sell or give away our recalled washer. That was never explained to me when I talked to Samsung. I would have never agreed to getting it fixed and would have taken the rebate, even though it was less than 1/2 of what I paid for my original washer. I called Samsung right after the technician left and I was treated very poorly. I was told that if I couldn't wash bedding in hot water, it was a technical problem and they said they would transfer me, bur they basically hung up. I called back 2-3 times on that day and each time got a different person that didn't understand me and tried to transfer me which ended in another hang up. I finally found a person that opened a ticket and said someone would call me. Someone did, but as soon as I told them it had to do with my recalled washer, they automatically transferred me to the recall center and everything started over again. I have several tickets that have never been address. Most recently on 2/14/17, I did an online chat so I could save their comments. When I asked if I could talk with someone to make a formal complaint, I was given his supervisor. I was told by the supervisor, someone would get back to me immediately. Still haven't heard anything from them.

My machine was valued around $650. Caught the sale at Thanksgiving and got the new machine for $599 plus tax. Well, got the check today for 599. Called about the "additional" incentive. Was told it was included in the amount of the rebate. How is that "additional"? I got what the sale price of the unit was, which was below the value of my machine. And, what about the $35 in taxes? To me this is deceptive sales. Fraud. I acted based upon their representation of the "additional" incentive. No more Samsung loyalty from me. I'd love to know who the attorney is on this suit.

After reading multiple blogs on this, I am reluctant to bear the pain of even submitting a claim to Samsung. Note: Australian law (excerpted below) apparently has taken a more aggressive stance, perhaps it is time for US to do the same: Samsung today, in response to consumer feedback, again confirmed that where a consumer indicates that they are dissatisfied with the re-work of their affected unit, Samsung will replace or refund the customer’s unit. This is of course in addition to Samsung’s existing policy to provide affected consumers with models yet to be reworked with either a rework, replacement or refund at the consumer’s election. Samsung continues to work constructively with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission and the NSW Fair Trading in relation to this recall.

However, my washer still vibrated and broke the motor.

This has been going on since November and I still don't have a washer and have been going to the laundromat ever since.

The Manager at Lowe's let me have it for the $445 refund price I'm still waiting for. Samsung sent me 2 labels to cover the original label which made it look like a few if the cycles were never on the machine. Which were the selling point the led me to purchase it in the first place. I further was told that the Samsung repairmen actually have no idea if what they were told to do to fix the machine would actually be a fix. They didn't think so. And if I ever do get the refund of $445 I've been waiting for for months, I'm still loosing money for a machine that was THEIR problem. I loose? Where is that right?

What is at issue for me is that there was a template to place over the cycle selection until the repair could be completed and additional warning stickers that were to be placed on the machine. However, after the repairs were complete I then find out that one must continue to wash bedding etc. on the different cycle and that another template will not be provided. So having said that, the machine is not therefore able to perform as it should be and that was never communicated in the information that was sent. All that they did was complete the repair and extend the warranty. If I had known in advance that the machine would never perform as it should I would have opted to replace. Now I have no recourse and do not believe this to be an acceptable outcome. When the auto industry recalls their product due to defects and one has the repair completed you have confidence that the product is safe to operate and as intended - example the air bag recalls of which we had two vehicles that were included.

Adding insult to injury, Samsun claims they received my completed rebate paperwork on Jan. 13, 2017 when I mailed it on Dec. 3, 2016. So the 4-6 weeks time-frame is really more like 8-10 weeks.

    When they came out to reinforce the lid, they bent and scratched the lid. I am now trying to get that fixed on top of getting the needed repairs to stop the shaking. I have documentation on how many times I have talked with Samsung and the people that I talked to. I want to join the class action lawsuit as well

    I have been in HELL with this company for 8 weeks. I had to go buy new washer(not Samsung) because I had recall done on lid so I could have a service done.Washer would not work after only having 1year and 1 week. After service which did not fix problem and me having terrible time with service and Samsung:talking to at least 20 reps including excutive consumer relations I gave up.

    I have left 2 voice messages (due to overwhelming telephone) traffic with Samsung. Neither have been returned. Prior to the recall, I made several other telephone complaints to customer services about other problems and I had a plumber recommrnded by the store where I purchased the machine come to my house for a consultation. This machine is a nightmare. I want a FULL refund.
