Thanks again to Luna! I found a post over on Houzz where Luna was talking about the plastic/chemical smell from the new dryer. It's from the foam plinth filter! He said it takes about 100 hours of running before the smell goes away. Anyone know how to speed that up? I'm not looking forward to...

I'm so sorry but they must have done something... As I've had zero issues with my new WXR860 doing prewashes.

Someone (Luna?) over on Houzz mentioned USA machines have water plus enabled as a default. I don't know if "Normal" under the water plus settings means it is indeed enabled or not.

Water Plus This is what it looks like in the programming menu on my machine.

Hippo It's super easy to change the water plus level. You should try it.

Thanks Hippo and Derrick! I am going to enable the allergy setting to see what it does in my machine and report back. I used the app today to select and start a load and tried water plus and was very satisfied with the water level in the main wash. It's tempting to enable it for all cycles. I...

Service Menu I entered the service menu where there were all kinds of settings including adjusting the water plus option, turning on an allergy setting, and an option to increase the temperature which I believe is to enable a warm rinse! Can anyone confirm that? What does the allergy setting...

Thanks for the replies! I'm really happy to learn the smell from the dryer isn't permanent. It does reverse tumble a lot on the bed linen cycle. It also reverses on the normal cycle, but not nearly as much. I didn't watch it during the wrinkle free to see if it reversed. I will say it's pretty...

I washed sheets today and noticed you can't select the gentle option on the bed linens cycle. I tried the wrinkle free with gentle enabled and it worked really well. I did the fitted and top sheets separately and each took only about 20 minutes. I didn't tumble dry the pillowcases and instead...

Thanks Alexander and Tom for your replies. I don't think there is a way to increase the cool down time on my dryer but am glad it seems to be functioning as it should. I knew there would be a learning curve and am sure it's going to take a little time to figure everything out.

Ralph Thank you for responding! The "new" smell is still there but getting better. I haven't tried the delicate option (it's listed as gentle on mine), so I'll try that. And I'm curious, when you dry your sheets, do you put the the whole set of sheets in the dryer? And do you use the delicate...

I wonder what I'm doing wrong... So just got my T1 and running the normal cycle with it set to extra dry and even having the dryness set to max in the settings when the dryer is finished and I open the door my glasses fog up and there is a slight moistness to the laundry. The laundry seems to...

These models alternate wash arms. I'm not aware of any residential machines that run all the wash arms at once. And I believe the WP/MT versions of these do not have rotating sprayers on the top rack. You need to upgrade to a KA to get those.

My new set is up and running. The washer is great but not loving the dryer. It's leaving a strong plasticy/machine shop "new" smell on finished laundry. Anyone know how long it takes for that smell to dissipate?

Thanks Everyone! I really appreciate all the responses and everyone's fantastic tips! One of the main reasons why I got the WXR was the ability to save favorites and am looking forward to using that feature. I'll have to try the different default cycles/options and see what I like best for...

Perhaps it's just user error? I took a small glass of hot water and poured in about 1/4 tsp of the STPP and it dissolved immediately. There was no clumping or sediment in the bottom of the glass and the water felt slippery too.

Thanks Launderess! I have it stored in a Rubbermaid container as well and it's fine in the container but once added to the washer it turns into a hard clump. I must have been sold an inferior or perhaps imitation product? Maybe it's actually TSP? I'm getting a new Miele in 13 days so perhaps...

Is STPP supposed to clump? I purchased some a while ago from Amazon and it clumps pretty badly when water is added. Is that normal?

Thanks Ralph! That's great to know the T1 works so well for you! I'm sure I will like the dryer very much. Across the internet, it is mostly very well regarded. My current dryer would take at least 4 or 5 hours to get my pillows dry. I previously washed and dried two king-sized pillows in one...

Thanks everyone and especially Jerrod for your help! I am very excited to announce I ordered the WXR860/TXR860 set yesterday! They are scheduled to be installed on December 4th which can't come soon enough! Unfortunately I had to get the regular stacking kit as the others were out of stock. I...
