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).
My dryer has a “less dry” setting.
Who likes their laundry done rare?
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…
I’m trying to picture wearing a sock on one foot, and underwear on the other…
It’s so hard to grow fungi otherwise
These two right here, Officer.
As long as is on the other foot.
Cold Damp Underwear is a great band name
I mostly agree with you, but I feel like damp underwear would be awesome if you were someplace that’s hot and arid.

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.
Tell me you didn’t read the manual without telling me you didn’t read the manual.
(I didn’t read mine too, btw)
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.
You’ll love it more when the numbers get washed off. Here’s mine.
How in the hell did this make it to market?
I’m really trying to understand what’s going on here in a way that makes sense, even if it’s a twisted kind of sense.
My best guess is that each of these burners are a different size and some have multiple rings and that by turning the knob left (Anti-clockwise), you’re going from smaller number of rings to larger number of rings - however, the rings start at their highest heat level. So looking at the bottom right dial as an example, the first “Notch” on the left is the smallest burner on the highest setting, then as you turn left more, it’ll dial down that burner until you get to the second ring on the burner - starting at full power for that second burner and continuing to lower power until you get to the 3rd ring, then it’s same again for the 4th ring.
Is that right? am I even close? I don’t understand why you’d go from smallest burner to highest burner anti-clockwise, but go from lowest burner-power to highest clockwise. That still doesn’t make sense to me.
Yes they’re rings. Still doesn’t explain why not everything is in the same rotational direction.
That’s what I’m thinking, the different burners have different rings that are individually controlled
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.
Last one is the only one that’s out of place to me. They all have counter clockwise when solo mode, when 2 modes available, low is at the bottom and high is at the top, makes sense, but the last one is different.
Also, why would it be Low? They’re using 2 letters, Hi and Lo are different enough to identify. I’d have to check mine, but using Hi/Lo seems normal.
Yeah, the last one is different because it has three modes, but in a vacuum it seems like they could have set it up closer to the paradigm of the two-mode knobs. Depending on how those knobs are actually wired though, there may be a good reason why it was easier to make it that way.
Using “Low” would be more infuriating than “Lo”.
The full words are “High” (not “Hi”) and “Low”, so to save space they use the first two letters “Hi” and “Lo”. If they use “Hi” and “Low” it would be inconsistent, e.g. more infuriating.
I thought it was just saying hellow.
What the actual fuck?
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.

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.
You have double burners. Some of your knobs have two HI and two LO positions, one for one burner and one for both burners.
On top of the stove this looks like two concentric heating elements. You can turn on one or both. Turning on both is sometimes called a “fast boil” burner.
The best solution the industry has come up with is to put two control surfaces into one knob, so instead of the control surface being a full circle it’s a half circle.
There’s no way to make all the knobs match in appearance unless all the burners have optional double burner operation.

Yes they’re double burners but the Lo -> Hi rotation is different for each position which is infuriating, but only mildly.
I see what you mean.
What they should do is make the rule: “clockwise is hotter”, and make all the LO…HI arcs increase in the clockwise direction.
Then no matter which burner you’re adjusting, you know it’s a clockwise movement.
They should also have a little LED light bar that changes length to show how high that burner’s setting. As you turn clockwise, it lengthens toward “full on”.
The LED light bar should light up whenever a knob is touched.
Need high temp LEDs too I guess.
