Replacing a dishwasher. Most of the mid-range options now come with fucking Wi-Fi. Found a model I liked, no info in manual and support from Samsung was of course, useless since it wasn’t already in the manual and wanted to keep talking about their exciting “smart things” app. gag.

I saw a youtube video of a guy disconnecting wifi cable on a fridge. I’m fine doing that if I have to open up the board but it’ll probably be smaller than the fridge and who knows if it’ll be helpfully labled like the one in the video was. Internet searching showed me there may be oven keypress combinations to turn wi-fi radio on/off. Anyone have anything similar/advice for Samsung appliances, specifically dishwashers?

    Mine had an off button (key combo). Check the manual of the model before purchase. Never had to give it another thought.

      I wouldn’t trust that. Better to remove it physically

        I have a network scanner on my phone. It’s off. You may take the bother of physically disconnecting it if you want, but personally I’ll keep my warranty.
