> Samsung dishwasher

Forgive me for getting up on my soapbox, but ... I strongly recommend avoiding Samsung appliances like the plague. I have had nothing but bad luck with Samsung appliances that were not TVs or computer-related. My washer and dryer both failed the first time after less than a year of use. My fridge lasted about two years before the control panel started losing LEDs, and now I replace that control panel periodically -- the replacements start burning out LEDs again typically within a matter of months. LEDs! Burning out! WTF.

To their credit, the mechanical bits of the fridge have been flawless so far (9 years later) but the control panel issue makes me hot under the collar. It's always a guess now as to whether the dispenser is about to give you cubed ice, crushed ice, or water. And judging by the volume of complaints online, I'm not the only one who has this exact experience with their refrigerators.

I even bought my washer and dryer specifically on the recommendation of Consumer Reports. The first time I can remember where they led me astray.

If it's literally just burning out LEDs, you could probably do some fairly simple modifications to protect those LEDs. It's not exactly ideal, but a simple resistor in line with each LED would almost certainly solve the issue.

My Samsung TV died after 3 years. LCD panel died. Never again.
