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).

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.
You’ll love it more when the numbers get washed off. Here’s mine.
How in the hell did this make it to market?
They had different teams working on each knob to speed up the design process.
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.
I don’t get how this would be cheaper to manufacture. They’d need to make five different switches.
By knobs, you mean rotary switches, I assume. I think the thing is they cheaped out by not designing the switches they needed. Instead they just sourced whatever rotary switches they could find that had the number of outputs they needed for these weird, segmented burners, regardless of their potentiometer directions.
Lol this is the funniest thing I’ve read today :)
Haha yeah. I have the same one from Samsung.
Samsung makes shit home appliances.
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.
Just wait until they start charging subscription fees for appliance features. Believe me, that’s coming.
OMG I just had a vision of a future where cooking recipes had DRM. “Chicken detected. In order to cook your chicken to the right temperature, you need a delicious home food subscription. Tap on the top left burner to subscribe” also the burner is on.
Lol, Samsung used to be a good brand!
Absolutely. Their washing machines are notoriously bad.
You can get an engraver for like $12 of Amazon, with a little practice you can probably ingrave new numbers and paint fill them.
This is criminal
Oh God, playing Russian Roulette with your food using that knob.
Honestly, I just never use that burner!
Technically they can use their picture as reference and maybe order a sticker with the settings printed.
what in the actual fuck
The burner has two zones. A small one in the middle, and a wider ring around. If you turn to the left, you only turn the middle part on from High to low, and if you turn right, you turn both on from low to high.

Just get a new stove. Ending is better than mending.

Is it under warranty?

Has to do with the fact that several burners have multiple sizes that can be used. My stove is the same way, and there’s really not a much better way to do it imo, short of a touch screen, which I don’t want on a stove.
A dial with a mode select switch directly above it. That us the much better way.
If you want the inner burner at power level 6, you set the mode switch to inner and the dial to 6. Then every dial can work the exact same way, but you still have multi-sized burners.
I like the other commenter’s idea, but I’d be happy with just consistent directions. Turn it a little bit counterclockwise and it’s the minimum low, turn it a bit clockwise and it’s max high.
I have an LG one with a single triple burner that doesn’t match any of the others. The oven also sucks, I need to set it 25 degrees higher on convection (with normal cook time) for things to cook properly.
Oh and then there’s the bottom drawer which is a second oven but it takes forever to preheat. I’ve used it twice and then stopped bothering.
I think I’ll replace that piece of shit next time a big purchase is up.
MILDLY infuriating!?
Depends on which direction you turn the knob. If can be Mild ore Extremely…
The longer I stare at it, the worse it gets …
What the actual fuck?
My dryer has a “less dry” setting.
Who likes their laundry done rare?
So it actually adds water?
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.
You can mimic most of the steam features by throwing an ice cube in before running the dryer.
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.
Cold damp underwear sucks.
Cold damp socks on the other foot…
You can just pee in your underwear.
It’s so hard to grow fungi otherwise
never been a problem for me
I’m trying to picture wearing a sock on one foot, and underwear on the other…
You don’t have to imagine, just try it out.
It’s the best way to wear both.
I mostly agree with you, but I feel like damp underwear would be awesome if you were someplace that’s hot and arid.
Edit: accidently replied to the wrong person
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’s useful for when I forget about my laundry and the clothes are already mostly dry, but not completely.
So they can build a nice layer of mildew?
Tell me you didn’t read the manual without telling me you didn’t read the manual.
(I didn’t read mine too, btw)
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.

Lo for the same reason it’s hi and not high.
They put Med so why not Low?
Got a ‘Sim’ in there too. Simmer?
Just, why?
Ohhh, that’s just a left-handed stove.
Look closer, not all the knobs are left handed.
That just means it’s a 4th dimensional left handed stove.
That last one is what kills me. Three different ranges of lo-hi, who does that?
Are these like different pictures of range knobs mashed together? I find it almost impossible to believe they put a different style control for each possible position.

My brain is on fire seeing this
Maybe because the knobs in your brain also have different directions for high and low?
This looks like an AI-generated fever dream nightmare.
I really hope you´re right!
