I was notified by Samsung that my new washing machine had a recall because the control module could overheat and a firmware fix would prevent any damage. It required me to download the Samsung Smart Things App to my phone, create a Samsung account, connect my washing machine to my WiFi using the app and wait for the washer to decide to download the firmware fix.

Connecting a washing machine to the WiFi/Internet made me feel slimy.

I'd call them and have them take the washing machine back.

Also affected by that notice, I ended up buying a new washer instead.
