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).

You'll love it more when the numbers get washed off. Here's mine.
How in the hell did this make it to market?
Mass consumerism and companies not caring.
Their target audiences are home flippers who just need the cheapest stainless steel appliances that look fine at a glance, and cheap landlords that don't understand that they're choosing themselves more money in the long run.
By knobs, you mean rotary switches, I assume. I think the thing is they cheaped out by not designing the switches they needed. Instead they just sourced whatever rotary switches they could find that had the number of outputs they needed for these weird, segmented burners, regardless of their potentiometer directions.
They had different teams working on each knob to speed up the design process.
Oh God, playing Russian Roulette with your food using that knob.
Honestly, I just never use that burner!
Haha yeah. I have the same one from Samsung.
Samsung makes shit home appliances.
Everything Samsung is bad (except some phones). TV are cripples with ads, fridges, there’s a whole sub about how bad they are… and so on.
Just wait until they start charging subscription fees for appliance features. Believe me, that's coming.
OMG I just had a vision of a future where cooking recipes had DRM. “Chicken detected. In order to cook your chicken to the right temperature, you need a delicious home food subscription. Tap on the top left burner to subscribe” also the burner is on.
Absolutely. Their washing machines are notoriously bad.
Lol, Samsung used to be a good brand!
This is criminal
Lol this is the funniest thing I've read today :)
You can get an engraver for like $12 of Amazon, with a little practice you can probably ingrave new numbers and paint fill them.
Technically they can use their picture as reference and maybe order a sticker with the settings printed.
