Gosh, the finish tone on my one goes for a solid minute or more. After the initial load, I was considering unsoldering the speaker until a search provided the secret key combination to turn the damn thing off.
Purchased a Bosch washer-dryer after the LG decided it no longer wanted to pump water out of the machine, eventually flooding our hallway. The Bosch works nicely - you can open it when the alarm sounds! - but you have to reset the cycle toggle for every new load (basically set it to off then on again) otherwise it just beeps at you and won't start the cycle. If we can buy $50 touch-screen smart phones with a fully fledged OS in the supermarket, why can't we bolt similar devices to dumb microwaves, washers etc to make them smarter? I mean, why do I have to dig out a manual to figure out what the fuck error D7 means?
