Good idea, wrong country
"The Korean mega-corp still faces a major corruption case in its home country that includes charges CEO-in-waiting Jay Y Lee bribed associates of impeached President Park Geun-hye to approve a 2015 merger with Chell Industries."
While in the corrupt USandA:
"[Any] mega-corp [never] faces a major corruption case in [the USA] that includes charges [that a] CEO [or their operatives] [gave lobbying gifts to] associates of [any US Representative] to approve [any] merger with [another company, so long as big profits, revoking of customer privacy, and more lobbying gifts are forthcoming]."

I own one of these washers and took the repair option - it is no longer 'high efficiency' as the spin cycle has been neutered, leaves the laundry very wet and unsatisfied. The cabinet is loose and won't tighten up.
That washer was a stud before Samsung/DirectTV fixed it... now it's no better than a standard missionary top loader.

There's a monster in the basement...
"That washer was a stud..."
That's what led to the lawsuits; That machine is too much washer. The over-powered SOB is great when things go right, but let one little malfunction happen and blamo! You're lucky if it only takes out your fine linens, and heaven help the poor pussy catnapping on top!
