Broken Door Glass Photos

This page contains photos of broken and shattered washing machine door glass, sent to me by affected users. It also contains a total of how many broken glass reports I’ve personally received, and from which brand of washing machine.

For full context, please read the main article – washing machine exploding door glass

See below for more details and photographic evidence.

The majority of incidents have happened whilst the washing machine has been in use, usually whilst on spin. However, there are a surprising number of reported incidents where the washing machine door glass spontaneously exploded when the washing machine was not even running.

Which brands are affected?

Below is a break-down of the total number of incidents of shattered door glass reported to me personally. It should be noted that I initially received several dozen reports back in 2008. But incidents later slowed, and eventually dropped to a slow steady trickle a year or two after. However, I still get reports at the time of updating this article in 2022.

Total reported broken glass incidents 122 – including 30 who reported the washing machine was not even on at the time (some hadn’t been used for days).

How many shattered door glass reports have I had?

I received dozens of email reports, and have seen reports on other websites. It’s not possible to work out how many have also commented on my article.

So in the interests of accuracy, my chart tally below, only includes incidents added onto comments on my original broken door glass article (from 2008), plus any sent to me separately via email from Dec 2014 onwards.

This is the total number of incidents of shattered door glass reported to me personally (122).

Note: I’ve received only a small number of reports in the last 2 years. So it does not seem like this issue is getting worse.
