The final part of 2016 hasn't been good on Samsung. The Korean tech giant was all set to have a strong year with the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy Note 7. The devices featured a near perfection of the company's edged design, processors and hardware specifications. The Note 7 even featured an iris scanner on board. The only problem expected from the device was mass adoption of the feature. Unlocking your device with an iris is less convenient than a fingerprint sensor after all. However, the Note 7 became famous for another reason. The device started to explode globally and as of now has been suspended by Samsung. But the Korean tech giant's woes seem to be far from over. More of Samsung's appliances have started to explode.

The pair were at home watching television when they heard explosions from where you'd least expect, the laundry room. Upon investigation, they found that the door to the laundry was blocked by the washer. After they gained access to the laundry, the washer had managed to create quite a havoc. Its had blown off, and its sides had bowed out. It even managed to knock a hole in the wall. Reports of exploding machines prior to Plano's event had already surfaced as well.

Samsung's having a really bad year when it comes to consumer confidence. While the Note 7's disastrous circumstances were limited to the company's mobile division, this bit of news isn't comforting. The company really needs to focus on quality control and checks. A particular red face moment for the company had been when replacement units of the Note 7 started to explode.
