This it not true, it is just another of the many lies spread over the net. Assuming that "oxygen bleach" means sodium percarbonate, it works also in cold water, the agitation is sufficient to dissolve it and make it to do its job, which is to decompose into oxygen and sodium carbonate. For...

I strongly disagree, this is just conventional wisdom. It is true that washing habits may make the issue better or worse, but any cleaner needs to be cleaned every now and then, and just to name the most obvious, for civilised washers equipped with the mandatory heater, descaling is necessary...

Same here, and I do regularly wash rags at about 50 °C with dishwasher powder, so in one go I clean the rags and the machine

Does it? Really? And since when? And what "control" do you mean'

It is easy to reduce harmonic distortion: you just have to add lots of negative feedback, which is exactly what the Japanese manufacturers used to do when audio equipment was assessed based on their specifications, and when some manufacturers were trying to use the specifications as a selling...

Here I am lost, Chetlaham: I am sure you have a quite accurate idea of how many cents such a mechanical device would cost. But I am also confused because this is a mechanical device while, if I am not wrong, we were talking about electronics. And I am pretty sure that the old mechanical...

I will not annoy you with the details, Chetlaham, but believe me: the matter is much, much, much more complex that this, and it takes really a lot of knowledge and expertise to master it. And is case you wonder, you have just raised the most complex and fundamental problem of "safety", and when...

First: electronics can be made very, very, very, very, "safe", but it is expensive and requires competence, experience and skills which are in very short supply on the market. Second: cars are meant to be cheap, not to be safe; even the standard of automotive safety, the ISO 26262, is the most...

Try ammonia, it is a good deodoriser, does not need too much effort to rinse, and it is generally safe for fabrics. As an added benefit, it will also remove residues of detergent and fabric softener

Wait: where are the pictures? Pictures, or it never happened. But congratulations for your finds

I miss that too, but I have found a "solution": I open the list the forum in one tab and from there I open the forum I want to see on a new tab, so that the first tab always shows the lists of the forums. I hope this is understandable and maybe it also helps a bit

"It allows us to keep the door closed when the washer is not in use." What's wrong with keeping the door (and the detergent drawer) ajar?

If this is of any comfort, I have the same issue with my European AEG/Electrolux dishwasher even using the 70 °C / 158 °F "Pots and Pans" cycle with the "Extra Clean" option, which increases both the time and the water pressure. At least in my dishwasher, the problem is that there isn't any...
