    My G7100SCi is "broken" I guess?

    So. The component test does open the dispenser - but barely. You know how the sound of the solenoid and the slide opening is basically simultaneous (tick-clonk) usually? Even with nothing in the compartment, there is like a half a second pause between the solenoid operating and the slide...

    Advice: Asko 12kg washer and Asko 11kg Dryer

    As much as I don't like Samsung, I just checked Costco's website and those XXL Samsungs were the ones I would have pointed you towards. The tumble dryer is a heat pump dryer that has an additional heating element so if anything needs to be dried fast, just set the Quick Dry cycle and your good...

    My G7100SCi is "broken" I guess?

    So, I recently switched jobs and moved. Had a moving company. Don't have a kitchen right now. But set up my DW anyway and put my microwave on top to reduce the tipping hazard. (Don't do that btw - it almost tipped over twice already. Only use free standing DW free standing - never use a built in...

    Advice: Asko 12kg washer and Asko 11kg Dryer

    That's pretty much the point I was trying to make. Question is are these installed under the counter or free standing? And if they are free-standing, what's the space available? LGs 13kg machines have 80ish liter drums. So do Haiers 12kg machines. Both are decent (not stellar, but certainly...

    Advice: Asko 12kg washer and Asko 11kg Dryer

    Yeah. I faintly remembered you specifically and the hot fill "requirement" you have. In general, these Askos are still Gorenje made. They have basically NOTHING to do with the typical Gorenjes one knows. But it has been known that in the past some Askos failed in weird, annoying ways. Stuff...

    Modern front load washers recirculating water over the load

    Eudora (the manufacturer known for the sub-compact washers) had it on offer, too. And I think some South American (Mueller or something like that) had it, too. Wouldn't be surprised that all that might have been production under license.

    Advice: Asko 12kg washer and Asko 11kg Dryer

    I think you could get them from the Netherlands as well? Or France? Driving to the tunnel and taking the train might be an adventure - but probably cheaper than getting them shipped internationally. I personally wouldn't make such a fuzz about them. The dryer is kind of special thing with...

    Modern front load washers recirculating water over the load

    Remember the Asko recirculation aswell. That works like the Beko AquaTech and the very first few JetSystem models that recirculated to the top of tub - not directly into the drum. Asko uses a diverter valve instead of 2 pumps. Beko I think as well? Not sure though. Those and the JetSystem...

    WEHT Miele W2?

    Oh yes. Launched last IFA. It's actually quite a generational leap. The tub has NO actual lifters - quite in line with Mieles heavy lean into laundry CARE branding. Plus a very accurate load sensing system (tells you the load down to the kilogram after sensing) and a variable speed...

    Tub banging sides- what causes it?

    And the old school designs have inherent limitations as well. They are bulky, heavy, use a lot of materials... Again: Never said this is acceptable. Never said one is necessarily better than the other. But makeing nuanced points has long since been a useless attempt on here... I'll check...

    Tub banging sides- what causes it?

    Again - never said you can't design a high speed system different ways. Actually explicitly said it is done. Just said that this way is not inherently wrong in any way. And everybody acts like cost cutting is in itself bad. If something gives you an equivalent outcome for less money nobody...

    Tub banging sides- what causes it?

    I did not watch the video past 2min that is correct. But the motor does cut out at that point. That almost looks like some weird resonance happening there - but it also does collide in the early ramp up phase. And the TC5 spins at 710. The TRs do spin at 820 - but they have a variable speed...

    Tub banging sides- what causes it?

    Floating tub suspensions are usually paired with higher speed spins. They are (probably) somewhat cheaper than other suspension designs, but from a purely engineering standpoint, low vibration at high spin speeds is the goal. With an unbalanced load spinning, the tub is constantly changing...

    Modern front load washers recirculating water over the load

    Still can't see the original post by combo, I'm guessing. But ELux has a third pump (calld OkoMix over here) to pre-dissolve detergent. So Samsung machines have recirculation, so those have 3 pumps as well (drain, recirc, EcoBubble).

    White residue under glasses in Bosch Serie 8 dishwasher — annoying persistent issue since purchase, how can I fix it & is it normal?

    The user manual always stated you can't. The service manual I got my hands when I worked there (even though it clearly was just the same paragraph copy and pasted for the past 2 decades) said you can. My mum has hers set that way for 2 1/2 years now and she had no issue what so ever. It's the...
