Does it apply to washing machines? I use one from Samsung. It's not connected.

  I had a Samsung oven that self-destructed beyond repair on the first attempt of the pyrolytic cleaning program, less than a year after purchase. I know multiple people that got less than year of service from their other sort of Samsung appliances. So yes, it does apply.

  In my experience, a Samsung badge is like a seal of guaranteed low quality. Bling bling and looks good but no substance. Like I said, I steer clear of Samsung for anything. Even semiconductors if I can help it, although I have no idea if their semis are as bad as their full products. But just in case. Companies usually share this kind of traits across divisions and groups, it’s in their dna.

  The washing machines are actually great, mine has worked perfectly for the past 7 years.

  My girlfriend in 2016 had a brand new Samsung that sometimes made a lot of noise, as if the shock-breakers were busted (it was standing on the floor correctly). She called the Samsung service, in the Netherlands they advertise with a really nice service where the mechanic will come to your house for service. They asked her a hundred questions, and after 15 minutes she was done with it and put the phone down. That situation made me angry and I called and answered diligently all the questions for about half an hour to make sure that a mechanic would show up. Apparently they play a game on the phone by putting up such a barrier for service, just to save some money. I told her to never buy a Samsung again and also tell her friends that.

  They did have an issue with some bursting into flames a while ago.
