[Resolved]  Samsung India — washing machine glass door explode

Address:Thane, Maharashtra, 421301

The inident has happened 3 weeks before.
Continues crashing sound was started coming from the washing machine.
Initially we thought it could be coming from somewhere else then on the same day we realised that it is from the room where we kept the watching machine. After looking at the washing machine shattered door glasses we failed to understand the reason it has led to such issues. I have prohibited my family from using washing machine which we generally use only on weekend and also had kept the room door locked to avoid any medical emergencies. This crackling sound then continued for couple of days and after that in the mid night it got burst and shattered the glass particles all over the room.

I have contacted Service centre to report this matter – frankly an exploding glass door is shocking and an unacceptable safety hazard. The response from the representative I spoke to was ok as he confirmed that he will get it eacalated to superior and get it resolved without any cost since the product is under warranty. After Waiting for couple of days I then called to customer care to get the status of my complaint but unfortunately I did not get any proper response after connecting to representative I got to know that I have been charged with amount of 1750 which was totally not accepted as it wasn't our fault. However, initially I was actually looking for the feedback on the cause of this ‘self destruct’ but now I am not going to throw money at expensive repairs for the door to explode. I want Samsung to take this matter seriously and get me the resolution asap
Clearly It proves that Samsung do not care about safety / quality service (the only reason we bought the samsung product because we had faith on it. This has never been the case with my all Samsung mobiles tv as well as refrigerator . All working absolutely fine but the incident which I have faced with washing machine is totally unacceptable. Moreover to this the treatment which supervisor Ajith has given on this issue is ridiculous. I believe Samsung customer care person already have record of our conversation. As per him we have misused the product which has caused this issue. I just cannot accept this unnecessary blaming
Why have a glass door anyway? Really this needs to be revisited.

There is another email sent today
Please check and help

Dear Soniya & Samsung team

I have been communicated by you earlier that there would be an engineer visit again but it has not done yet. As requested I have also sent you the images of product but it's of no use. After that it was told to me by you that whatever you communicated to me on phone you will share that on email but still I'm awaiting for your reply

As discussed in our last telephonic conversation, Which is obviously something which I was trying to say from the day one of the issue

I have made it clear that it's fault with product itself and since it's under warranty I want to get it replaced by company. I am just wondering how can the inspection report is saying it was due to the misused. This is ridiculous how can you question someone's integrity without knowing him. We are using washing machine since 13 years now and we do know that how to take care of it. The person who came for inspection did confirmed that it's product issue by looking at the product destruction and since this is under warranty he will get it replaced assuring that the same issue will not accure again. Also I can see tiny pieces of glass fragments on the rubber washer on the door with this you can understand the impact how the glass was exploded and this is something not man made destruction. By the way my product is still under warranty and to add to this your representative was even kind enough to understand the issue and was ready to help with the replacement of product in warranty. I unfortunately don't have recording of it else I would have showed you how this request gets a turn. 

To reiterate here, we use this machine once a week and that too it is kept in a separate room. The machine wasn't on, it wasn't even plugged in. We could hear a strange noise. we looked around and discovered it was the washing machine door. It continued to crack and shatter in front of our eyes and at the midnight explosion happened. However, while cleaning a tiny little shard it did hurt my wife's hand but I have ignored that as it wasn't that serious issue. I think I should be taking an image of it anyways I'm common man and I know I can't just go against Samsung company by complaining against it as I will be no where stand. I am just trying to highlight here that

There can be a manufacturing defect

I'm not saying it could be an issue with all of the product but there can be a possibilities that out of 1000 pieces one of the piece can be faulty.

There is damaged to the entire glass door. you can still see that the broken particals are still there inside the rubber washer on door which I haven't cleanup yet.

This is the quality of product and unfortunately I'm the one suffering from it. We are fortunate enough to survive from it.

I have question to Samsung that what if there could be someone from my family around the washing machine at the time of explosion and if there was any medical emergency. Who would be hold responsible for this?
What if this issue happened with one of your family member, will you still be blaming to yourself that it is because of you, who have not taken appropriate care of product and it's all because of your misuse??

I do appreciate that I am using all product of Samsung - refrigerator, tv, mobile, home appliances and till now I did not have any complaint about it but unfortunately I have to say with this bad experience that I would never gonna buy any Samsung product onwards and will advise all of my relatives and friends never to go with Samsung. With this I think you should be understating how much frustrated I am. Initially with the response from mr Ajith and now with customer care. All are just trying to avoid my concern and show that how good they are in selling the product rather than resolving the issue.

I can't just accept what you are saying me to do as it is against my integrity and principles. I am writing because I live by certain principles and I appreciate if someone understand this then please someone from Samsung to take a step ahead and help me by resolving my issue
