I kept burning my food or wait forever for the pan to heat up and I finally understand why. Each knob has a different direction for the Hi and Lo (also why isn’t it Low).

You’ll love it more when the numbers get washed off. Here’s mine.

Mass consumerism and companies not caring.

Their target audiences are home flippers who just need the cheapest stainless steel appliances that look fine at a glance, and cheap landlords that don’t understand that they’re choosing themselves more money in the long run.

They had different teams working on each knob to speed up the design process.

Everything Samsung is bad (except some phones). TV are cripples with ads, fridges, there’s a whole sub about how bad they are… and so on.

You can get an engraver for like $12 of Amazon, with a little practice you can probably ingrave new numbers and paint fill them.

Technically they can use their picture as reference and maybe order a sticker with the settings printed.

My dryer has a “less dry” setting.

Who likes their laundry done rare?

That actually makes sense for things you want to finish drying on a line so they don’t heat up too much and shrink.

Also for ironing

Also for if you enjoy the feeling of cold damp underwear.

This makes sense… But my washer defaults to this mode and I can’t figure out how to change it. By default all my clothes are almost dry.

Mine has similar settings but they’re named in ways which actually tells you why you’d want them that way: “Ready to Iron”, “Ready to Hang” and “Extra Dry”, things like that.

It just seemed nuts hooking up a water line to my dryer the first time I got one with steam cycles.

I never hooked mine up because I didn’t see much point in steam… But now I kinda want to.

It’s useful for when I forget about my laundry and the clothes are already mostly dry, but not completely.

Some fabrics wrinkle when you allow them to sit in the dryer totally dry. For those you want to take them out and hang them for the last bit so when they reach their driest state they’re hanging and not crumpled within the dryer.

At least “Off” is consistent. That could have been a total train wreck.

I bought a portable electric space heater a few years ago that had an alarming tendency to rewire itself - like, “Off” would become “Low”, “High” would become “Fan” etc. Finally took it apart and realized that the dial was just a contact that rolled across a bit of printed solder and occasionally the solder would melt (no way they could have expected that to happen in a fucking heater) and flow into a new pattern. I have absolutely no idea why thousands of people haven’t burned themselves to death with these things.

Are the 300 deaths and 21800 fires not enough? People absolutely do burn themselves to death with space heaters. Source: https://www.cpsc.gov/Newsroom/News-Releases/2002/CPSC-Offers-Tips-to-Prevent-Home-Fires-Caused-by-Space-Heaters-Devices-Associated-with-21800-Fires-and-300-Deaths-Annually

It’s like your stove top was the experimental test one where you could see how all the knob styles worked, like it wasn’t supposed to be released to the public.
