What a beaut! Very happy for you! I am jealous! Ours lasted 11 years with somewhat heavy use. It was a great machine, though not perfect!

None I have an older Camry Hybrid and love it. It honestly fits the bill perfectly. I have driven it to Florida numerous times and it is fairly easy to get 600 miles per tank and average 38 mpg with multiple people and our things. It is very comfortable, has decent power, and drives great...

Dryer lint filter Personally, I prefer the front filters. I had a Kenmore 29" dryer with the top mounted filter that kicked ass, though. My grandparents had the exact same dryer, but it was front mounted and there was no clear difference in performance between them. The biggest difference I...

EcoActive I figured it would use more water ~4-5 gallons because it does not spin and pull the water through the clothes like the Bravos/Cabrio machines do. So there needs to be a decent amount of water in the bottom of the tub as well. If figured top off would be about 10 gallons as well. I...

Oh no! I am. not sure how I am just now seeing this. This is actually very upsetting. Hopefully you can find some additional parts to keep this beaut running. If not, I might just have to take it off your hands! Lol.

Longevity Well, I’m gonna guess wash time and agitation speed will play a role in this. There is a potential case for washing in cold to keep the fibers tight, but that defeats the purpose of wrinkle free items that need a warm wash to relax wrinkles. I have a few shirts that are ‘wrinkle-free’...

Forgot to mention... The Whirlpool and Kenmore cousins would get 'excellent' CR wash test results, whereas the KA would only recieve 'Very good'. I never knew if it was due to the lightening spray arm, or because of these shorter pre- and mainwash.

Pre-Wash That 30 minute prewash is for the thermal hold up to 135ºF IIRC. That is the maximum time before it will automatically head into the mainwash. It will out clean a majority of dishwashers in the mainwash. Lmao. I found that the Antibacterial cycle was more conservative on dumping the...

Additives One piece of info they are missing is that lower wash temperatures cause people to use more additives such as Oxy Bleach, Chlorine Bleach, scent boosters, or more laundry detergent. That is just as wasteful as using a slightly higher temperature to wash. Not to mention, the number of...

Jeesh I am going to write a complaint. Not sure if anyone will read it or care, but enough is enough. It can't get any worse. Warm on these new machines is 75-80ºF. Water levels are already too low in many of them. We are nearly to the point where machines will wash for 3 hours and wash in...

Timer This is why we replaced our DD. It would perform a spray rinse second before the final spin ending. Clothes were coming out fairly wet.

Forgot to mention... My machine also would occasionally dump the main wash detergent early when using Soak & Scrub or Anti-Bacterial when a 2nd prewash was required. It would dump the detergent in the 2nd prewash, start to heat, then would drain from what I assume was a pressure switch trip. I...

You are a SAINT! Under very unfortunate circumstances, I had to leave my KUDS25 just like yours behind. It was seriously very hard to do, but was done for personal safety and happiness. However, it was seriously the best dishwasher I have ever used. As they become harder to find, I wonder if I...

Odor First, I highly recommend cleaning the washer with 1 cup citric acid and letting it soak for a while in hot. That will never hurt. Second, I find the best thing for odor removal, especially smoke, is hot washes. So with loads that are colorfast that is what I would do. However, I have...

WM3400 The one I used allowed me to see the water temp, but I had to hold it for a prolonged period of time. I forget the sequence, might be cold wash and temp. If you just use Towels, there is no need to adjust the water level. That way the other cycles aren’t affected, like bulky or...

Towels For the most part, yes. Only Sanitize for a true hot wash. Delicates or Handwash for other items. This applied for many LG FLs I use. My Kenmore doesn’t have the Towels cycle, so I did adjust the water level up to what it would be with Towels. Much better. The wash and rinse levels on...

First off… Congrats! As you have experienced, some cycles can be a bit slow. BUT, the Normal cycle with Extra Hot does heat the water up. If your tap hot water isn’t high enough or the water heater is far away, it will take longer. The Towels cycle is much better than Normal, IMHO. Much...

KUDS25 I miss this machine quite a bit. Leaving it behind was not easy. Flawless performance, incredible drying, quick cycles, and solid build quality. Even with very hard water it always impressed me. Not too many compromises either. It isn’t a Hobart machine, though.

No dishwasher IDK, the Samsung that we had at our rental was just as bad as not having a dishwasher. It really required 2x the work.

Bosch load size I could stuff more in my Bosch compared to any other dishwasher I have owned or used, as well. I removed the cutlery basket from the first rack and it opens up loads of space. The Auto cycle is the shit! I couldn't imagine using Auto with Extra Scrub or Crystal Dry.
