The main manufacturing of Samsung appliances takes place in South Korea, with a washing machine manufacturing plant also located in South Carolina, USA.

It’s more than just their washing machines

For sure, their are model numbers specific to regions. Sometimes you see US Products available for various manufacturers and some say not for sale in Canada, which could be distributor rights or maybe won't pass canadian electric standard or warranty requirements

That usually has to do with the fact that American appliances are 110 V for everything but ovens and dryers

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

We have 110 /120 as our standard regular voltage also

I meant North American.

If you read my comment I was saying USA electronics sometimes can't be sold in Canada due to not meeting Canadian (higher) standards.

I did read your comment. But since you’d rather be childish and insulting than have an adult conversation, I’m just going to block you now.
