JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A family on the Westside wants to make sure what happened to them doesn't happen to anyone else. Becky Edwards was playing outside with her kids while her husband was on the roof taking down Christmas lights.
"And we just heard this boom. It sounded like a cannon went off, louder than a gun shot," Edwards explained.
The mother of five says while in the middle of a load of bed sheets, her washing machine did something she never imagined.
"I would have never in my life expected a washing machine to explode," said Edwards. "I have the child safety locks on all of my doors, and I'm diligent about checking car seats, kids toys, everything. This is not something I would have thought about looking into."
Edwards shared pictures she took when the incident happened and showed News4Jax the damage inside her home. She showed us how the top had literally blown off.
"It was and the hoses were the only thing holding it together and the water hoses were spraying everywhere," she said. "It was totally sideways in the washing room."
Edwards say the force when it came apart shook the whole house. Pictures and more were knocked off of the walls all around.
"We have floating shelves in the bathroom with a conch shell on it and it knocked that off of the shelf and landed in the tub and put a chip in it the size of a silver dollar," she showed News4Jax.
When the shock Edwards says she started making calls to the manufacturer, and she decided to do a quick Google search, too, to see if this had happened to anyone else.
"I finally got a hold of Samsung at 10 o'clock the night it happened and I told them I saw that this has happened before and they didn't argue with me about that," said Edwards.
