Are you staying in Mpls or heading to sunny PS ? Hi Pete, no   That's a shame!  It would have been great to see you down here in Palm Springs.  We may not have basements but could you be tempted by the fact that many homes here do have casitas?!  😁  Congratulations on your retirement.  It...

Oh you were also taking about a cold / warm cycle recently, Chet.  My thoughts on that are:   Cold Wash / Warm Rinse = ????????????????????????

My take: Hot wash / Warm rinse = ????????? Warm Wash / Warm Rinse = ????????? Hot Wash / Cold Rinse = Whites, towels, bedding Warm Wash / Cold Rinse  = Basically everything else Cold Wash / Cold Rinse = ??????????

Hi William. Thanks for clarifying which cycle you use. It was ambiguous because what you wrote applies equally to deep-rinse cycles and also to the Normal-Eco cycle that I witnessed in Honolulu, which did an initial spin out after the wash, then stopped, then started the final spin cycle and...

Hi William. I’ve never had this happen with my 2014 SQ TL or any of my other machines for that matter, which all do deep-fill rinses. I have a water softener and I use plenty of top-rated detergent. However I did experience suds oozing out of the standpipe and flowing down the wall when I...

Thanks for the replies.  This machine will only see very light usage, so I'll keep using it occasionally for now.     I'll keep in mind that it will need a complete overhaul with a new transmission etc.  For historical/nostalgic reasons, I'd like to keep this machine running in its original...

My A806 is working great and not leaking.  But this is how it's looking under the agitator.  Is it ok to keep using the machine or is urgent surgery required?

That's really great to know.  Thank you, Alex.  I had been wondering about this ever since getting my G550.   Mark

Chetlaham and Jerome: a really good idea is for you guys to swap numbers and chat together on WhatsApp.  It will be an excellent way for you two like-minded guys to have these discussions directly with one another and I think you'll really enjoy each other's company and friendship.

Mike, do you remember the model number of your Miele dishwasher?  My vintage Miele G550 from 1975 auto senses the hardness.  I have so far never seen any other dishwasher that has auto hardness sensing.     Interestingly, the current models on the UK Miele website and the Miele Spain website...

Wow that's great news.  Isn't it amazing how the failure and unavailability of one single, tiny (but vital) component can be the death of an appliance.  But not in this case!  Well done for making the part and keeping the machine alive.

If you really want a more bougie dishwashing experience, get yourself a box of 100% pure pink Himalayan salt crystals.  They would also work perfectly, if a little extravagant. 

I've certainly seen dishwasher manuals that say you can use softener salt pellets or salt crystals.  You could even go all out and get yourself a massive 40 lb bag of Morton Pure and Natural water softener salt crystals or pellets!  Or just pick up a box of Morton Coarse Kosher salt at any...

$100 in Visalia, California.   Click here for MarketPlace Listing   I originally posted this in the Imperial forum by mistake.  Oops!  I see now that I could have corrected that without deleting the post.

Brendan, what is your water hardness in GPG?  You should program the dishwasher with your hardness level so that it regenerates the softener after an appropriate amount of water has passed through it.  Depending on the hardness level you set, you would probably find that the 2 kg box of Finish...
