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.
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.
Oh God, playing Russian Roulette with your food using that knob.
Honestly, I just never use that burner!
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.
Absolutely. Their washing machines are notoriously bad.
Lol, Samsung used to be a good brand!
This is criminal
Technically they can use their picture as reference and maybe order a sticker with the settings printed.
You can get an engraver for like $12 of Amazon, with a little practice you can probably ingrave new numbers and paint fill them.
Dude, yeah, what is with those things.

WTF, they’re all different?
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.

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.
One office I worked in had a toaster with a knob where “off” is almost all the way to the left.
Turning the knob to the right lets you control the toasting time, like any other knob-based timer.
But if you turn it left from the “off” position, that’s the “stay on” position.
So if you’d set the timer, and then wanted to cancel it, you can’t just turn it all the way left like on any other knob timer. If you do that, you’re telling it to stay on forever and eventually scorch the table and set off the fire alarm.
Mine has burners like this too and I hate it. Very confusing!
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?
My high ass would burn the house down using this.
Yes.
mildly?
This is fucking pitchfork worthy
Please stop, he’s already dead….

Looking at the one in the top left… imagine if that was for an amplifier. Like, you have to pass through maximum to reach off. That would be the worst to live near.
