I never want microwaves, dishwashers, laundry machines, etc. to make any noise. Even worse is how many of them continue making noise until you unload them. I'd like to one day be able to run a load of laundry or dishes overnight without being constantly woken up.
Is it generally safe to assume that cutting a noisemaker (or LED?) off wont break the rest of the product?
I own a couple of devices I would like to do that to, but I can't access the electronics without cutting the entire plastic casing.
It beeps at the end of the wash, as if expecting you to unload it.
It also has a heat sensor tied to the door lock, where it won't let you unlock the door if it's too hot. It also takes 5-10 minutes after a wash to reach a level where it'll let you open the door.
It didn't cost us any extra, but I would've paid double for that now that I've had it for six months. I can start it immediately before going to bed and when I wake up it's finished.
If it doesn't, you're out of luck
Poor product design often entails poor user experience like environmental pollution of light and sound.
