There seem to be no clear instructions on how to turn off the end chime on the Smartthings Washing Machine if the usual suggestion of press and hold the rinse and spin for 3 seconds doesn't work, so after live chatting Samsung, here's how to do it for anyone else (at least on this model)
1. Turn on the machine
2. Clear any messages or warnings and turn off phone control (otherwise you will just get the 'currently not supported' message on the next menu)
3. Press and hold the pointing finger with a + for 3 seconds
4. Use the dial to move along the menu
5. On the option 'alarm', press the circle icon to turn the setting to toggle the setting to off
6. Press the pointing finger with a + once to return to the main menu
This will not disable sound when selecting items in the menu but will stop the encore it plays after completing a cycle.
Hopefully this will help any frustrated Samsung owners like me!
