    Miele Touchtronic W4840

    I know all that but it would nice for the consumer. 10 year warranty option for all etc. On a side note I have always wanted to own a Miele myself. Here`s hoping the release of the IntelliQ aka the hockey equipment washer this summer lets me finally justify a purchase.

    Miele Touchtronic W4840

    @appnut But Canadian machines lose their warranty when over the border and vice versa. Shame that Miele USA and Miele Canada can't both get along.

    Miele Touchtronic W4840

    Many Miele's needed to run through an initial wash (no laundry, detergent or bleach) to add water to the pump float. See page 8 of the manual I linked to for all the gory details. The shipping strut reminder is just a Yes No option or at least should be.

    Need help info on what to tell service man aging

    Pretty sure that GE is made by Samsung and has a direct drive motor. Both SamsungParts and SearsPartsDirect list your machine. The lack of spinning could be caused by the machine sensing rubbing/resistance. Pretty sure Samsung introduced that as a feature to prevent/reduce damage. That sound...

    Miele Touchtronic W4840

    Sorry can't tell you the year it was introduced but they are good 6kg machines and still for sale here. My hunch would be 2005-2006. Probably earlier in EU land. EDIT: January 5, 2007 was the NA launch of the W4840. Here's a link to the Miele 4840 Operating and Installation Instructions...

    FL WASHERS and BAD MOLD SMELLS; when did you 1st hear about this issue?

    katrina flooding and washer mold Honestly 3beltwesty mold needs more than just heat and moisture it also needs food. Without deposits left from body oils, paper, fatty soap and or fabric softener what is there for mold to eat and spread? Would in the absence of a food source like drywall...

    FL WASHERS and BAD MOLD SMELLS; when did you 1st hear about this issue?

    Liquid detergents are nothing new here in the usa While liquids may not be new what is in them has changed. The whole environmental movement which cherishes "plant based cleaners" and cold water washes. Look at some of the ingredients... Coco-glucoside Fatty acid methyl esters ethoxylate...

    Basket-hole variations: 24-inch early DD Whirlpool

    Can't speak for your specific model but have noticed for decades that often the manufactures original machine has either better parts or more features than the Kenmore unit. Sometimes the budget models parts were used in what would be a higher end Kenmore. This board is littered with examples...

    FL WASHERS and BAD MOLD SMELLS; when did you 1st hear about this issue?

    I can't remember when my first encounter with a FL mold issue was (maybe 1993 in a Whirlpool that held a lot of water and was rarely used) but can remember first TL encounter. It was 1997 and a new Maytag Neptune. The owners made soap, washed in cold and used the "infinite water" feature to make...

    Extended Warranties.....again!

    Fedders was always my go to brand for window AC. Around here they make Maytag and a ton of other brands. Good machines from 6500-12500BTU.

    What do you think about optical brighteners?

    Similar to the 70's disco shirt phenomenon anyone with Optical Brightening Agents (OBA) show up real well when looked at from light amplification/night vision goggles or LED light. Soliders often avoid them because they help people discern movement and patterns better. OBAs also make sweat...

    Action Chlorine Bleach

    NP on the images just glad there was at least a few images of what was an icon boxed detergent product. Sadly Bleach is one of the big three manga/anime franchises and they have had at least one live action movie. Wikipedia has a bit on the naming of the series. Probably has more to do...

    New Tide Compact Powder

    @passatdoc Generally you need more HE detergent. Some brands it's a lot more others it's a little over 30% more. The older Gain HE powder was in the 35% more (normal soiling) 65% more (heavy soiling) for top loaders when I used it in 2009. No idea now.

    Action Chlorine Bleach

    I remember Action Bleach. Seems like only the commercials survived. Stills on this closing ebay auction here .   Everyone remembers the hand coming out of the washing machine but this one was better.

    Is Amana really Amana?

    I thought Amana was bought by Maytag and then they got boughten by Whirlpool. It's been years though.

    Does Amonnia boost detergent power?

    Windex with Ammonium D did a fantastic job and was my goto for blood stains back in the 90's. But as Laundress said the new detergents are just amazing. No pre-treat just load and go.

    Cascade commercial formula

    You might try Finish powder or Powerball tablets. Many here think they beat the pants off of non professional Cascade. Having said that glad you like your Foodservice version.
