Miele Germany Is radically different to the jerks (insert far stronger language) running Miele in North America. The German Miele cares about their customers, the people here don't give a flying .... I wouldn't expect anything from Miele in North America.

There's nothing fancy about these motors A 12v DC to 120 60Hz AC converter would be able to power them quite easily. A DC motor, on the other hand would either have to be brush driven or have fairly complicated electronics. I'd go with a standard 120 AC unit and a converter which puts out a...

One thing to keep in mind - Thomas' customer service We bought one of the first mega-spin dryers from Thomas' company and it promptly failed. He had a replacement on the way immediately. No hassle, no need to video tape the fault. Outstanding service! Our Panda spinner started to knock loudly...

Thank you Melvin, Thanks! I shall try that. I could see the machine sending commands and not checking for feedback. I'll post if it works for this one. Built around May 2007. [this post was last edited: 5/28/2020-17:39]

This must have been one of the last of the DDs. I picked it up in really good condition for $5.00. Seller said water just poured out of the bottom. Of course it did, both hoses to the pump had been disconnected and there was a note on one of them to hook them back up before use. Probably not...

There are never too many pictures Thanks for sharing! Pity Sears killed of D&M

Very Glad You're Back I remember these machines - they really sounded like they meant business. Pank is, of course, the right colour.  

Duty cycle The start capacitor will have a higher value and only be run for a very short time. The run capacitor will have a lower value but a higher duty cycle and will be run whenever the machine is on. I'm not seeing the capacitors as being run in parallel, I just see a single can unit with...

I am impressed. I used to wonder why GE transmissions had their own rebuilding centers. Beginning to get a clue. Wow. What a beautiful set - thank you for sharing all the details!

You absolutely may use the KA lube I would love pics. I did a similar washer about 12 years ago with the same lube I use for KA and Mixmaster and it is still running smoothly.

Glad they helped you I've learned to do something through the years - whenever people present me with multiple potential solutions to a problem I'm having (usually with a FilterFlo), I print out all their suggestions, seal them in a zip-lock bag and tape them to the back of the washer. All too...

Wonderful! I especially love the color reminder for little Suzie.

I avoid too strong acids and I don't let any acid sit Vinegar is out in our water - it forms a magnesium crud which is really hard to remove. I'm a bit surprised to read that oven cleaner is a problem? Seems to me the porcelain used would not be bothered by bases?

Those horrid disks were the worst part of cooking in pre-ceramic cooktop/induction hob Europe. There were awful - took forever to heat up. Took forever to cool down. Impossible to regulate when making really sensitive sauces, just a total disaster. I still can't believe Americans fell for them...

Timers I can't find it now (of course), but there was a first rate posting on rewiring the motors used on a lot of these. A lubricant which turns to solid cement and motor windings with a near 100% failure rate. When it's working, the timer is not at all stiff to turn, by the by. When we got...

Glass is frequently Already damaged and just waiting for any excuse to fracture. The temperature differential or loud noises (pressure variations) in the dishwasher can be enough to cause the glass to shatter. I've never seen Pyrex break in the dishwasher but lots of cheap Libby glasses have...

There is an incredible amount of umpf! in these 'little& Mixers. When you compare them to the pretty but useless trash KA now markets as their 'tiny' machine, well, there's no comparison. These are wonderful - and they take all the regular attachments. OK, some might be a strain, but all the...

Like you approach, Thomas Recently, I had a very rare experience - a callback for a 'mistake' my company made. I sincerely didn't believe it - it was the sort of thing which is as close to impossible as may be. BUT - I went out, personally, with one of the best plumbers in Wyoming. At my...

I've praised our Mega clothes spinner here before. We've used it an enormous amount and been happy with it. When a cable snapped last week, we wrote to Thomas to ask about replacement parts. He responded immediately and a new spinner just arrived on Saturday! That's customer service. Wish...

With that recipe, I'd expect A denser product (as Laundress thought) but it probably won't overflow. Couldn't you just reserve a scant cup and bake in another form?
