Prior to owning a Miele dishwasher I have only had Kitchenaid and Bosch machines where while they had problems, the racks never rusted even ten years on. That said the there are rust spots forming on parts of the lower rack not subject to wear from loading the dishwasher six years into the...

A day late, the G5225 was installed today and is busy doing its first wash right now. I'm not complaining, but for reference this model is louder than the Bosch it replaced. In the end I found that only the stainless Miele dishwashers come with the cutlery tray. That said the tub is setup to...

That you for the videos. They are informative even at this juncture. When I went back to Miele USA's web site I noticed that the white unit has a cutlery basket versus the stainless unit cites a cutlery tray. My sales person said the white (G5225WH) unit is identical to the stainless (G5255SS)...

Done - G5225 For reference I purchased a G5225 for delivery on Friday of this week. While I could have considered a different higher end model in white Miele's options are limited. We have a white kitchen and I won't deal with keeping stainless...free of stains. I had them include the...

Thank you. That is exactly what I was looking for. I agree they refine the design, not start over...

One more point. Enough said on this topic....

I in fact registered the machine and to be honest I don't frequent appliance manufacture's web sites given I'm not in that industry. Up until now there was no reason to look at Bosch's appliance web site. If I periodically polled the various manufacture's web sites for everything I own, looking...

Service Manual? Can someone point me to a recent Miele dishwasher service manual? I would like to review the design as shown in the manual before I drop money on a new machine to replace my Bosch. For reference I'm considering either the machine cited in this thread, or the 5225 which is one...

Just now talked to Bosch's hot line... First off they complained that this was an old recall, where I told them not only did I never received notification the Internet shows this is a common occurrence from the UK to South Africa. The response was they sent out multiple notices but for some...

I have a 2001'ish Bosch dishwasher which burnt last night when the controller in the door failed. Fortunately major damage was avoided with smoke only filling the kitchen. I bagged the controller and put it along with the console outside the house, but the smell is still very bad inside the...

In my case the slipping was sufficient to cause wear on the belt. I would have SQ check the belt tension.

Belt That is belt slip from what I can hear. If you remove the lower panel I suspect you will see black particles below the motor area.

Pillow program... The pillow program starts out with a high speed spin prior to adding any water to the drum in an attempt to distribute the pillow(s) around the drum (e.g. works best on down or down equivalent). The for the balance of the program it uses more water than normal.

Somewhat similar... With a W3033 I have washed down, primaloft and synthetic (woven) pillows. The down and down equivalent come out great, but the synthetic (e.g. cheep) pillows are hit or miss with respect to the results where the filler may bunch up into something resembling a football. If I...

Out of curiosity What was the process of getting the shocks swapped out? Via the front or bottom of the machine?
