The minute or so between the washing machine cycle finishing and the door finally being unlocked is the longest minute and most pointless period of wait time known to humanity.
@anon_opin why don't machining machines wait to beep for attention until after the door is unlocked. So needy!
@blueorangeblue @anon_opin Those locks use a simple bimetallic strip, and it takes a minute or two after cutting power to cool enough to unlock the door. Some washing machines have fancy electric latches that unlock immediately.
@anon_opin do something else while you wait? Could easily make yourself a cuppa in that time
