But why not just beep after that? What’s the point of beeping before the door is unlocked?
Mine beeps when the door unlocks, but I've seen many that beep before the final check. Either to satisfy some "1 hour wash cycle" target or perhaps they expect people to walk to the machine when it beeps and the check isn't that long so it's probably going to be unlocked when you get there?
I’m looking for this beep-and-unlock feature next time I buy a washing machine…
Mine beeps and simultaneously unlocks the door. Beeping befor you can open it truely does sound stupid… Never had that with any washing machine here in Switzerland though.
