It's hard to characterize in a single sentence, so I'll just break it down into its constituent parts.

The Beep

When the laundry cycle finishes it does the following:

  • It beeps super loudly for 5 seconds
  • If you don't run to switch it off, it will wait 30 more seconds and then continue to beep super loudly for 5 seconds
  • If you switch it off whilst it's beeping, it will continue to finish its beeping
  • There is no volume setting nor any way to switch this off.

The Door

When it's finished. It does not release. That beeping sound from earlier to tell you to come get your laundry? No no no, that was just the "come and watch me drain" alarm.

  • Switching it off has no effect on the door release.
  • It releases whenever it wants. It could be 5 minutes, it could be 20.
  • When it does release, all you will get is a sound, so you better be around to hear it.
  • If you miss this sound, it will lock itself again 10-15 minutes later and rotate your clothes.
  • It will then repeat the release process.

HELP ME. HE-ELP ME.

We have a front filter drain model. If draining is stuck you flip the flap open, and uncap the drain tube and lower it into a shallow container. Check the filter, and close the flap. I have had to do this 2-3 times in 5 years

If its at the end forever it might be because you are putting too much soap in.

Have you actually thought about the first point in your second list, the door? Imagine the machine is running and actually full of water, and turning it off releases the door. Would that really make you happy?

That said, your other points in that category are fair, and honestly incredibly weird. I never had a washer do any of that, but I assume it's to stop your clothes from wrinkling. Are you sure that can't be turned off?

I feel that if I should wish to flood my kitchen, I should have that choice.

can't be turned off

I'm looking at the manual and there's nothing about programming it. It's all just knobs and buttons
