Control panel reset gymnastics = going back to the machine multiple times to reset it to run a hot wash cycle to simulate the hot/hot with an extra rinse cycle machines used to have before energy ratings were a thing

I understand that cheap used dryers are out there but unless I get a costly new one and stacking kit to match my washer (which means I lose the mini washer that I use a lot) there’s no way to set it up that doesn’t involve either gas line extensions to the other side of the room which isn’t safe...
