The machines do calibrate for that and motor speed changes accordingly. Under certain repair circumstances (replacement of main PCB and the SMM at the same time, IIRC) one has to make sure the extra wash zone (regardless of what type you have - depends brand) has to be turned off on the first...

Back in the day, those 18" machines could save you a couple of bucks as they saved at least a bit of water. Nowadays, they use basically the exact same as the full size version of the same design. But at least you get the same feature set...

Still no fan of Samsung DWs, but that frying pan holder looks useful. You can always work around them, but just makeing a dedicated holder could save so much hassle. I don't quite see what there is to break more in comparison to the other models. Auto doors have been a thing in the EU (even...

Don't think there is such a thing as a bad machine, just a bad price. If one would pick those up, you'd check for obvious big issues - bearings, dampers, door seal, mold in the drawer, etc. If you get the set for like 100-200$, and the washer runs a year or two, I don't think you would have...

Depending on which model you have, you either have a Midea or a Vestel clone. My mom had an 18" Midea made machine. It was REALLY mid. Biggest culprit was a water softener that was faulty within the warranty period - a problem your machine certainly can't suffer from. Upper racks are a bit odd...

Totally not sure, so someone correct me, but don't these use a liquid filled balance ring on the drum as well? IF it uses one and it's been damaged (thus empty) that *could* cause problems with balancing even on very low OOB situations.

That's a 3 phase pump rated at 150Hz. You need an inverter to drive that pump, whether you run it at different speeds or not. I don't see how Whirlpools really poor cycle manuals would indicate variable speed operation or not...

Going from the back is going to be tricky. Not saying it can't be done, but it'll be quite a reach with the tub in the way. But certainly easier than on other machines that aren't direct drive. Those pumps have a duty cycle rating. The one I found ad hoc searching for parts for your machine...

I think Miele decidedly did not use an inverter drain pump. They had a machine with an inverter drain pump and I am almost certain to have read at least one report where a blocked drain pump caused a control board issue. I still don't get why all the manufacturers put the inverter electronics...

Those cotton cycles are over all really nice IMO. I don't quite get why you need almost 30min for a final spin. 17min used to be extravagant, now that. And 2h main washes for a partial load? I mean, we knew they had to compensate somewhat for the reduced mechanical action. Performance surely...

Completly new QPW cycle Somebody (german, of course) got a WQ1000 and started filiming, with a QuickPowerWash 40C cycle. Things of note in order of video appearance: - You can select Eco and a pre wash on QPW now - but no extra rinses ?!? - Load sensing has certainly been improved. I would...

Switch the machine on, turn to 5th position clockwise, then hold the same buttons as for service mode.

I mean, most loads done are really small. Most higher end EU machines have some kind of "single item" or "mini load" function. But as with all methods, doing smaller loads will always be less efficient. And I'd be somewhat concerned with the number of things going wrong with such a machine. If...

I don't think it takes any college education to realise that if a) importing everything is made HORRENDOUSLY expensive (tariffs) and b) you still need these things (I mean, yeah...) the conclusion to still make things affordable and available is makeing them in your country. What has been asked...

That's just not how the world works anymore. Without wanting to get to political: Trumps logic for tarifs - directly or indirectly - was that the US imports many more goods than it exports. He wanted to change that because in his mind the US should not import more than they export. AKA "make...

People, apparently from America, saying this THIS VERY WEEK hits you in the face SO HARD with irony, it's almost funny again...

At 12k hours, throwing money at it really doesn't seem useful. Miele always says their machines are designed for 10k hours. At over 12k, the machine has done it's best. I'd really advise on replacement, unless getting it repaired is possible at a reasonable price - or just getting the apparent...

1. 650 people is about 1.3% of their employees. That's probably FAR below normal turnover. Just not hiring for a month or two would have been the same. 2. They still met (an exceeded) their projected earnings last year. Every manufacturer had a post Covid crash - look at ANY manufacturers...

I've always found it to be such a let down that on machines with limited dual positions, you'd only get 1 or 2 time dry settings Especially here where you could easily double the dryness selector with time selections (Less dry / 15 min, near dry / 30min, dry / 45min).

Here's a video - though German it shows you the gist of what to do. Apparently, on some machines, you can navigate with the dial and start as well.
