Buh-bye.

Ah right I see. I don't know much about well water or extended warranties, as I have neither. Thanks for explaining! Following on from what Jamie said about the Bosch, another good inexpensive option is to look for a used Bosch dishwasher. Every single washer, dryer and dishwasher that I own...

I agree with Jamie. You could install two residential dishwashers and use the 1-hour cycle for light/medium loads. Really encrusted stuff can go on the heaviest cycle. The cycles would be considerably longer than a Miele Professional but you'd have two machines rather than one. Would a...

You could get a Miele Professional dishwasher. They have integrated water softeners that will soften your well water and they have very fast and powerful cycles. You'll ideally want to install a 240-Volt, 30-Amp circuit to take full advantage of the super fast cycles. Although they are also...

Another thing you could do is start the machine and then test the hardness of the water that it has filled with. If there's any hardness present, it's not working. When I had a modern Miele dishwasher recently, I could tell when it was going to regenerate on the next cycle because it would...

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...
