Be careful there Rod. Miele racks seem to rust easily these days and Miele only give you one free set unless they can confirm you're using Miele detergent. Finish is too detrimental apparently. The current unit, the racks were all rusty within 2 years. I have a spare set sitting in boxes...

Its a pity that Panasonic has given up competing in the TV world, due to the flood of low priced units. We brought out new Panasonic OLED in 2019 to replace our 2012 plasma that has moved into the bedroom. That OLED was the first time we'd found something with the picture quality that our...

Miele replaced the bearings on my 3xxx series washer at the 5 year mark under their quality guarantee. The first time, they took it away, it was gone for two weeks and then it started leaking from the bearings within a few loads. They took it away again and replaced the inner drum, rear...

Hi Jerrod its just a solenoid that screws onto the tap. The two wires are power for the double solenoid. The reason you cant cut the hose is a) there is live mains voltage in there and b) the leak detection is based on if the blue hose bursts, the grey hose channels the water into the base of...

Hi Keith, thats right, just get a valve with the right size outlet on it, and use a hose clamp to hold it in place. Then just put spade connectors on the wire and connect those to the Inlet valve.

Hi Keith, In the 240v Models this is a mains voltage inlet valve. I've done the below to replace a failed inlet valve in the past. If you want to work around it, put a single valve on and wire it to the cable. Then use a double ended washer hose to connect it too the tap. Just make sure you...

Mike, LG is South Korean. Not Chinese.

Hey Bob If your in Texas, then get solar hotwater. It should then be free for the bulk of the year. I assume the US must have equivalent products? You still need a heater in your frontloader though 😈 Cheers Nathan https://www.solahart.com/

Hi Laundress, If it’s installed the same as in my w423, pull the knob off the front and that should allow you to reach the two screws behind that hold the timer on. Then gently move the timer back a couple of inches and you should be able to lift it up and out. I can’t remember whether the...

Hi Henrik, I've got a H6660BP that we love. It replaced three 6860's that received messages from God via the wireless meat probe and after three ovens and 14 service calls, they downgraded us with a refund to the H6660 which has a wired probe. We use the reheat function all the time. With...

Hey Adam. I can’t help with the removal, but 10cm3 is 10mls, that is 2 teaspoons of grease.

Hey Ralph, It just says wash in one tub of hot water. You wash the first load. Wring it into warm water in the first laundry tub, then wring it into cold water in the second tub, then wring dry. So you can technically wash and rinse 7 loads with one tub of hotwater. You just may have a few...

Hi John, That sort of wiring approach is the norm in the 230v 50hz world and nothing spontaneously combusts. Outlets are just mounted in the plasterboard, plastic sheathed cabled is run in the walls. Its been that way since the PVC coated cable came in during the 50s and 60's. The only real...

Hey Louis, I love my Cook Expert, for much the same that you do. I can finally make risotto's and sauces without standing there stirring for hours, its really opened up those sorts of food for me. On the weekend, I made 2.5L of Cheese sauce for Vegetables, and then had it make the gravy as...

Hey Chris, Whatever she gets, seriously consider active venting. Because of the energy standards by default, ovens are now very well sealed and things don’t cook like they used to. We replaced the Westinghouse with a Miele oven that has an active vent. I can cook 5 trays of biscuits in one...

I bought a bucket last year and have ended up only using it to clean the BBQ. In a front loader, it foams up way to much, it doesnt rinse out and it leaves fabrics scratchy and harsh. If you want to experience US detergent, buy the Big bottle of tide liquid, that works well, smells ok if...

Its been a 3 to 4 month waiting period here since at least the end of last year. A mate was shopping for new appliances for his new house, and Miele suggested that he needed to plan to order 6 months early. Other friends ordered a new one in December, the washer arrived in March, the dryer in May.

Hi Chris I would reccomend the Westinghouse, but with one caveat. We had one pre-kitchen renovation and the oven cavity seals incredibly well, unlike an old oven, there is no chimney to let moisture escape and unlike an expensive oven, there is no active venting of the oven cavity. This lead...

Hi Laundress The last time I checked, Lux soap flakes were still available in AU. I haven’t needed them for a while, but last year you could still purchase. You only get a couple of loads out of a box though. Cheers Nathan https://pental.com.au/product/lux-pure-soap-flakes-700g/

2.4gal per min showerheads have been the norm here for the last 20 years. Has CA dropped below that amount? Even rain showers operate well on that flow rate. Being pressed against the wall is nice, but 2.5gal/min is a good compromise and saves water and electricity. Maybe the OP just needs...
