@praetor huh...🤔
@VeroniqueB99 what? You've never heard that? In the old days there was a running joke that housewives did so much laundry so they could sit on the washer while it was running because their husbands were bad lovers.

SpaceLifeFormMy smartest appliances have clocks that are incorrect. How much the clocks are off is just a function of how many power outages have occurred over the years. Maybe, one day, one will be semi-accurate due to power failure timing.

BillDon't even really need a TV. Just a display with HDMI inputs. Component input would be missed too.
@redhoodoutlaw I axed that circa 2001...
Sassinake! ᑐ ∪ ∩ ⊂I replaced my old Maytags from the 80's with a set from the 60s.
They work like a charm.

My million dollar idea I want someone to steal and do, so I can be a customer. "Dumb Stuff" we sell electronic appliances that aren't Internet connected. That's all. That's it. That's the pitch. I would buy the <bleep> out of this company if their electronic gadgets were even half way decent, and repairable. Electronic, no wifi, regular screws to open it up. That's it. Do those three things, and you can be sold by this store. I will pay this business to curate and find these devices for me.
@pseudonym 👍 💯 👍
So...did you do it?

No. That would require work and effort.
Still a wage slave, pining for the fjords, with buttons.
Steve Foerster 🌐@VeroniqueB99 I hear you! My response to "smart" features is always, "That's great, how do I turn it off?"
@VeroniqueB99 Electronic controls logically ought to be more reliable than knobs and cam-driven switches.
But they are not. Digital tuners in TVs were an improvement over knobs. On washers, not so much.
One reason is they use cheap relays and solder them to PC boards. Either the relays, the solder joints, or the connectors fail due to high current.
Use good quality wire-tab relays and it would last longer than the machine.
@mike805 👍good to know. I hate obsolescence.
Graham WattYoutube and 3rd party parts vendors with repair videos are your friends.
