I’ve got one of those LG washers that has WiFi. I’ve never connected it to WiFi and never intend to. Our hot water service, likewise, has WiFi that isn’t connected.
Apparently they go and bury some more advanced features in the phone app you’re supposed to use to talk to your appliances, but I’m not in the slightest bit interested. If the feature doesn’t exist on the machine’s own control panel, the feature doesn’t exist as far as I’m concerned.
R.I.P. the good ol’ days when appliances were dumb and reliable 
Does it broadcast how crusty your underpants are? 
I don’t think I will connect it, part of the reason I haven’t so far is why… pointless… lots of meaningless stats…
My home heat pump is from 1999… in the Mid-atlantic US on electric heat and HVAC so it runs pretty much all year. Every summer I get ready to shell out and replace it and every year it just chugs right along (although it has frozen solid on several occasions now due to ice storms). I feel unnaturally proud of an appliance for making it that long.
I’m still using a Frigidaire refrigerator purchased when I bought this house in 1993.
Well, guess I’m lucky with my dumb old washing machine.
It went bad a few years back and I actually was able to narrow it down. The 7-segment display had turned into a disco, and it failed to switch the water pump, had to be overridden manually. Typical issue for that make and model, that could be traced back to a faulty capacitor which has been well documented within the internet repair guides.
And replacing a faulty capacitor and soldering a replacement it isn’t exactly rocket science.
Can’t tell in which year it actually has been manufactured. Still old school electronics, through hole PCBs for the whole control circuitry. But not “that old”, according to the manual it was made in 2006 the earliest.
Only my solder job within the kitchen with the appliance in half disassembled state (without mains power of course) had to be done in a pretty awkward and uncomfortable position. As a result there is still some flicker on the display. But it’s fully functional. I could touch up the solder joints are try to find a better match for that electrolytic capacitor… in case it fails again. Because at the moment, it’s not broken technically.
