We have a German brand washing machine that makes an ear piercing beep when the wash is done and repeats doing this every minute for 15 minutes straight. It is the most annoying and attention-seeking appliance in the house.
When it was time to replace the dryer, we intentionally got an Asian model with a lovely little tune that'll play exactly once. I'll never get tired of hearing that tune, because that god awful washing machine will always remind me of the alternative.
My washing machine has this repeating beep too. If you haven't done so, check the manual: on mine there's a setting to disable it.
Thank you so much for that suggestion!
It was right there in the manual, I really am an idiot sometimes. The beeping is softer now. It's still super shrill and repeating, but at least it doesn't give me an heart attack :)
I can't disable it entirely, there's too much washing going on to just ignore it completely. But this definitely helps!
