Replacing a dishwasher. Most of the mid-range options now come with fucking Wi-Fi. Found a model I liked, no info in manual and support from Samsung was of course, useless since it wasn’t already in the manual and wanted to keep talking about their exciting “smart things” app. gag.

I saw a youtube video of a guy disconnecting wifi cable on a fridge. I’m fine doing that if I have to open up the board but it’ll probably be smaller than the fridge and who knows if it’ll be helpfully labled like the one in the video was. Internet searching showed me there may be oven keypress combinations to turn wi-fi radio on/off. Anyone have anything similar/advice for Samsung appliances, specifically dishwashers?

    Literally the same, just bought a new washing machine. Most are now smart enabled. I don’t get it at all… Like why does a washing machine need to be on the internet at all.

    You’re washing is done… Yeah I know I can no longer hear it.

    Start it later, there is a delay mode.

    I physically have to be in front of the washer to load it. Why would I then use an app.

    We paid a premium for one without Wi-Fi
