Replacing a dishwasher. Most of the mid-range options now come with fucking Wi-Fi. Found a model I liked, no info in manual and support from Samsung was of course, useless since it wasn’t already in the manual and wanted to keep talking about their exciting “smart things” app. gag.

I saw a youtube video of a guy disconnecting wifi cable on a fridge. I’m fine doing that if I have to open up the board but it’ll probably be smaller than the fridge and who knows if it’ll be helpfully labled like the one in the video was. Internet searching showed me there may be oven keypress combinations to turn wi-fi radio on/off. Anyone have anything similar/advice for Samsung appliances, specifically dishwashers?

      Thats what people said about internet connected blenders, until the neighborhood kid hacked into it and used it to burn down their neighbors house

          It was some CCC talk, but it wasn’t a child and it wasn’t a blender. Might have been a Tesla, can’t remember

          Anyway if a manufacturer is dumb enough to put WiFi in a dishwasher or blender, its not safe to assume that someone with too much time on their hands won’t be able to make it flood or catch fire.
