Nationwide Recall on Washing Machines Due to Fire Hazard
If you have a newer washing machine, you might want to check to see if it is a part of this new nationwide recall, before it causes serious damage to your home.
We all use our washing machines all of the time. We don't typically think twice about if they are functioning correctly unless we can't get water to fill up the machine. However, a new nationwide recall of nearly 664,000 top-loading washing machines, might have you checking on your washer because the units can short circuit and overheat, posing a fire hazard.

Samsung announced a massive recall that involves 14 models of top-loading washers equipped with super-speed wash.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission says that Samsung has received 51 reports thus far of "smoking, melting, overheating or fire" involving the washers, but a software update can fix it.
