Exploding washing machine knocks out Minnesota mother

When your washer is making weird noises and now you’re scared

The washer sensor has failed. Current washers has a sensor to stop the spin if it goes out of balance.

OMG, now a washing machine? I’ve been seeing stories of refrigerators blowing up like bombs lately. Thank God that sweet young mother is ok despite what she went through.

Doing the Laundry is getting dangerous.

What makes it so odd is that front load washers dont normally explode/break apart. At least not nearly as much as Top Load washers do.

THIS is happening so often with Whirlpool and Frigidaire appliances,
that I'm becoming SUSPICIOUS...🧐

Same thing happened to my Hotpoint washer 6 years ago. It was washing a small load of kitchen towels. I heared a very weird high pitched noise coming from the washer as it was spinning on full speed and then just a huge boom. It literally sounded like a car had crashed into my house. The washer was in pieces, the door was on the other side of the room and the whole front and top panels were bent and cracked. I've never seen anything like that before in my life.

My washer just blew up yesterday. It went of like a bomb! Pieces everywhere. The machine was 4 years old.

our whirlpool had no noises other than normal sounds when the door busted off. It had regular clothing in it and wasn't over loaded.

Probably a good idea to know where electrical breaker box is, so a person can shut off laundry room equipment remotely. Usually breakers are in Garage or basement. Any opinions?

My washer was out of balance & knocking loudly. I went to readjust the clothes. The front was sucked in like if you sucked the air out of a plastic bottle. I've never seen anything like it. I am renting. & afraid to tell the landlord because I thinking they will tell me I had too many clothes in it (it is a new machine).

How does a washing machine keep thrashing if you throw a brick in compared to this?

0:17 That's my favorite brand of appliances!

“You don’t typically see that type of behavior in a major appliance.”

Those ball bearings look rather large for what you might find in a washing machine.

Glad I have a washing machine that's nearly 30 years old and is well built

[officialkupchow]

Our washer just did the exact same thing
