What should I do if I have an affected model?

You should immediately stop using your washing machine. Moisture may penetrate the electrical connectors of the affected machines, which can cause the unit to catch fire. If the machine catches fire, there is a risk it will cause serious injury or death and / or damage to property. Incidents have occurred and caused damage to property.

Even if you have a machine that received a rework, you are entitled to a refund or replacement machine.
