A Samsung top load washer class action lawsuit was recently filed by a woman who says that because of the rusting associated with the machine, she was not able to use the machine as intended. The lawsuit is being filed in California federal court.
A Samsung top load washer class action lawsuit investigation has also been initiated over reports that the top load washer does indeed rust prematurely. If you or someone you know purchased a Samsung top loading washing machine, you may be able to join a Samsung top load washer class action lawsuit investigation.
Many consumers who have purchased a Samsung top load washer have complained of premature rusting in the washing machines. However, Samsung has advertised its machines to be “gentler on clothes” and resistant to chipping and rust.
But customers do complain of rust within the washing machines’ water drums, as early as one year after purchase. Rust then renders the machine unusable and compromises its function as a washing machine.
Some complaints surrounding the Samsung top load washer is that, despite a recall that occurred in November 2017, Samsung fails to address the rust issue and consumers are required to face technicians who will not fix the issue.
These complaints have prompted the initiation of a class action lawsuit investigation.
Overview: Samsung Top Load Washer
A class action lawsuit was recently filed against Samsung over allegations that the company’s top load washer causes the machine to prematurely fail due to rust. One case and claim made by a customer alleged that it was only a year after purchase that she discovered rust on a top loading machine she purchased in 2013.
The customer claims that by 2017, she could no longer wash clothes because the machine was so rusted. She was also simply told by Samsung technicians that the rust was a “cosmetic” issue and nothing more. All this resulted in her having to wash her clothes elsewhere since the rust on the top loading machine would damage her clothing.
A Samsung washer voluntary recall was announced in November 2017. The recall involved top load washers manufactured between March 2011 and October 2016. The recall was the result of reports of significant issues involving the top load washer.
Some of these issues included triggering excessive vibrations, the washer drum losing balance, and reports of the washer’s top portion to separate from the machine’s body. Other problems associated with the machine occurred when the washer was placed on a high-speed cycle and used to wash water-resistant items, bulky items, and bedding.
However, even despite the recall, consumers are still complaining that rust issues associated with the Samsung top load washer are still not being acknowledged. Technicians are also not being made available to help fix the issue.
Legal action may be taken through the filing of a Samsung top load washer lawsuit and through joining a Samsung top load washer class action lawsuit investigation.
The Samsung Top Load Washer Lawsuit is Case No. 30-2018-00968326-CU-FR-CXC, in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange.

I also had my Samsung repaired and a brace was mounted because it would become off balance a lot … mine also has a ton of rust now… terrible and not that old … please add me to the list
Include me please. I purchased my Samsung washer WA45M7050AW in 2019. In 2021 I started noticing orange brown stains on the outside and underneath my soap dispenser. Every time I put in a wash I would wipe it down. I use the clean cycle often. I finally took my phone to see where this stuff was coming from. Underneath the top of the machine,I saw all the rust, I was disgusted and appalled. The machine is only 4 1/2 years old, it was 2 years old when I noticed. I finally sat down to research if this was happening to other people. SHOCKED to see this has been going on for many years. Shame on SAMSUNG for ignoring your consumer, and for not standing behind your product.
Add me please, mine was purchased and 1 year and a half later it’s rusted at the top and who knows where else, I manually have to turn waster on and off while using it

Please Add me to the lawsuit. Samsung will not send a technician and I have called them and reported it on several occasions starting 3 years after I purchased the machine (Aug 2016). Its now 2022 and its worse than ever. I have to sand it after every use to get the rust off and protect my clothes.
