That is true. However, I religiously avoid anything that has any sort of ‘digital’ display or whatever.
They are still run by microprocessors, whether they have a digital display or not. I think I have the same washer you have. I learned to just let it do its thing and ignore it. If you really must stop it to throw in another piece of laundry, just hold down the start button until the lid latch clicks open. Then just hit the start button to resume.
