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).

what in the actual fuck
The burner has two zones. A small one in the middle, and a wider ring around. If you turn to the left, you only turn the middle part on from High to low, and if you turn right, you turn both on from low to high.
Damnit… Great explanation… Also, it just pissed me off because it reminded me that I have a burner on my stove like this with the small and large and different settings for each… Unfortunately, it currently only works at all on the large burner on high… I need to slide it away from the wall and take the fucking thing apart and figure out why…
Not tonight though… 😂
Just get a new stove. Ending is better than mending.
Fuck that… Repair, Reuse, Recycle
Is it under warranty?
Negative… It’s at least 8 years old.
Has to do with the fact that several burners have multiple sizes that can be used. My stove is the same way, and there’s really not a much better way to do it imo, short of a touch screen, which I don’t want on a stove.
A dial with a mode select switch directly above it. That us the much better way.
If you want the inner burner at power level 6, you set the mode switch to inner and the dial to 6. Then every dial can work the exact same way, but you still have multi-sized burners.
I like the other commenter’s idea, but I’d be happy with just consistent directions. Turn it a little bit counterclockwise and it’s the minimum low, turn it a bit clockwise and it’s max high.
I have an LG one with a single triple burner that doesn’t match any of the others. The oven also sucks, I need to set it 25 degrees higher on convection (with normal cook time) for things to cook properly.
Oh and then there’s the bottom drawer which is a second oven but it takes forever to preheat. I’ve used it twice and then stopped bothering.
I think I’ll replace that piece of shit next time a big purchase is up.
