We bought an LG washer and drying last year that tries to be smart and it drives me nuts. When you start it, it takes several minutes moving the tub in very small increments. It starts and stops and reverses over-and-over and I assume it's sensing the load. Then it starts and occasionally the balance is off and I does the thump-thump-thump thing. So I stop it, rearrange the load and restart. Instead of just resuming, it goes through the sensing dance again and I have to stand there three or four minutes before it actually starts to spin again.

If I could turn all the load sensing stuff off, I would. All I really want is two sliders that give me 0-100% for load size and temperature and a switch for delicate.
