Why is it that my dryer has an audible alarm to tell me when it's done, but my washing machine does not?
Both machines are from the same manufacturer, for heaven's sake; it's not like the technology is foreign. So how come no buzzer for the washer?

(Darn machines are getting too intelligent. They may take over the world yet!!)

The washer isn't so time sensitive. A few hours might make a difference, a few minutes won't.
Also - clean your dryer vents regularly with a lint removal brush!!!!
