"The first washer was a cheap Admiral. It lasted three years, which I suppose isn't good, but for the price, I guess it was ok, but my experience with appliances is usually much better. Here's hoping the replacement (a Samsung) will be better. We've had a Samsung on the mainland for quite a while."
Hopefully your Samsung isn't one of the top loading variety in the safety recall:
Samsung to Recall 2.8M Washing Machines in the U.S.
Samsung Electronics, which is already reeling from a global recall of its Note 7 smartphones, said it would recall about 2.8 million of its top-load washing machines in the United States to address safety concerns.
The top of the washing machines can unexpectedly detach from the chassis during use, posing a risk of injury from impact, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a statement on Friday.
The machines being recalled were manufactured between March 2011 and November 2016.
Samsung received nine related reports of injuries, including a broken jaw, injured shoulder and other fall-related injuries.
Samsung, the world's top smartphone maker, is grappling with a global recall of at least 2.5 million Galaxy Note 7 smartphones in 10 markets due to faulty batteries causing some phones to catch fire.

p.s. I was at HD looking at over the range microwaves and saw a beautiful Samsung "on sale". I looked it up on amazon where it was about $100 less with free prime shipping but the reviews were BRUTAL. It eventually led me down the rabbit hole where I found the one recommended by consumer reports.
