    Miele WXD160 WCS washer questions

    Tried it…it works I went into settings on my WXD160 and changed it to cold fill only (P25 Water Intake … set to 01 ). I shut off the hot tap and left the cold on. I ran a cycle with a 40C setting and it heated up just the same as when it was set to Hot Water. Bob

    Miele T1 Dryer Drum Volumes and Options... Advice from T1 Owners Please

    I switched from a gas vented LG dryer to the Miele T1 about a month ago. I’ve been seriously impressed at how well the dryer works relative to the LG. Cycle times are similar but the clothes come out so much softer than on the LG. It is way more gentle in its drying than the LG. Bob

    Miele WXD160 WCS washer questions

    I have not changed that function on mine but I have run a 75C cycle from a cold fill (hot water heater at machine was off before I started the cycle) and had no issues. I think that setting only eliminates the machine from filling from the hot inlet. Bob

    Fabric Stripping: Amazing results with STPP and the Miele

    Our LG did not have TurboWash. We used Sanitary/Sanitize quite a bit. We also used the Normal cycle. Everything always had at least one extra rinse selected.

    Fabric Stripping: Amazing results with STPP and the Miele

    At one point, I had tried that in the LG with no success. I’m not sure why it works better in the Miele. Bob

    Fabric Stripping: Amazing results with STPP and the Miele

    So, I’ve had two sets of flannel sheets that always retained a hint of odor with previous washing machine (LG FL with heater). We could never figure out what the issue was but no matter what I did, they always would smell after they had been stored in this closet. I liked these sheets and my...

    Miele: The rinsing…and more

    Our next additions… Yes, I’m excited for our remodel as one of the new appliances is a Miele dishwasher. I did get AutoDos on that one as it’s a feature I think I’d use and I prefer powdered detergent. I’ll check out the Cake Test. Bob

    Miele: The rinsing…and more

    I have to say, I am in love with my new Miele set (WXD 160 and matching heat pump dryer). I am sure this warms the heart of our dearest Launderess to have another one see the Miele light. I’ve made a few other posts but wanted to provide an update. Even though they are the most basic models...

    Miele WXD160 Extra Rinse function?

    The App! I went into the App and it is possible to select Extras like PreWash and WaterPlus in the Miele app. Thanks to everyone who suggested it. As far as Proofing, it is a single fill, tumble, drain and spin. Bob

    Miele WXD160 Extra Rinse function?

    Thanks for this info Launderess! I am super happy with the rinsing as is with being able to set Max Rinse Level so this is not an issue for me. I also have a good workaround if I need it using the Proof cycle which gives a warm fill/agitate and spin so it is fine. I could use that as...

    Miele WXD160 Extra Rinse function?

    I’m a bit confused about selecting Extra Rinse. The program chart discusses how cycles can have a variable number of rinses. It also has a footnote which says “An additional rinse is carried out if the ExtraRinse extra option has been selected.” However, there is no Extra Rinse extra option...

    I took the plunge: Miele WXD160 and matching heat pump dryer

    @ Decodriveboy 1 - which cycles have the highest water level? Handwash, delicates, dress shirts and Outdoor. Page 38 of the manual has a nice chart describing the wash and rinse water levels and cycle defaults. 2 - does the app allow you to add more water to any cycle? No. The app only...

    Miele Washer Cleaning?

    Really loving the Miele washer. Even though it’s on 120 VAC and uses a decent amount of water, it heats water quickly and maintains the temperatures nicely. The manual suggests running a hot cycle periodically for cleaning. There is also a settings feature to remind you to run a hot cycle...

    Miele Refrigerators / Zephyr Beverage Coolers ?? Feedback?

    I am looking for panel ready with a bottom freezer. I found that the JennAir line has two that fit that bill. KitchenAid doesn’t have any bottom freezers that are panel ready. (My husband really wants panel ready.) So, since JennAir is also a Whirlpool brand, I’m going to investigate those...

    Miele Refrigerators / Zephyr Beverage Coolers ?? Feedback?

    Hi Everyone: I am having fun narrowing down my choices. Also, navigating the supply chain issues which everyone is familiar with. SubZero has lead times of 9-12 months which will not work with my needs. The vendor I am working with suggested a Miele refrigerator (I told him I did not...
