More likely a fan issue. Those run at considerable speed - 2800rpm or 3200rpm, there alike, motor speed - which is equivalent to 46/53 odd hertz, so in audible range. Those often cause droning if slightly warped or if something is caught in them. Since the fan is on the exhaust it heats up...

Wish I could change the post headline So, the issue with things getting caught in the filter has gotten to the point I called the service. Actually kind of impressed - got an appointment within 2 weeks, tech just left - it's only the second dryer of this series he worked on. Now the bad...

Checking on SQs parts website, there is an idler set with belt for just under 50$ for your machine: https://parts.alliancelaundry.com/i-1717893-speed-queen-959p3-washer-kit-idler-lever-and-belt.html The belt alone direct from SQ is about 20$ less - but once your in there, I'd just do both and...

As far as I understand, all US water heaters with a heat pump also have a resistive heating element of similar or slightly lower wattage to the regular water heater. They certainly are more complex - more complicated control plus essentially a pretty high power dehumidifier on top. But they do...

For a EU style combo, usually, the 120V isn't that big of a deal. Most combos only use somewhere between 1200W and 1800W for drying heating - so these often just swap the heaters for same wattage lower voltage ones. Main factor being the lower air volume moved by the (sometimes comically) small...

If it's a rental I'd get maintenance to get the duct cleaned at least. Would probably get the dry times down, but maybe not the tangling. For the washer: The price makes the deal. LGs that aren't to old maybe. The Duets or siblings you mentioned. I mean, for 100$ you could take basically...

Again, I don't think these fail at an enormous rate. That's case number 2 or 3 on this website of those drive boards failing. Compared to the whole machine, about 1/4 to 1/3 of machines retail price for a main PCB or motor inverter board appears to be average for a part through out the entire...

Cause you brought up the Mercedes comparison: A YT channel I like to watch is aging wheels. He bought a Polestar 2 a few years back. Loves the car. When he bought the car, he had the choice to get the trim he wanted and wait months for delivery, or buy a car they had in stock without those...

The delay when turning on is on any physical button G7000 series machine, Miele knows about it and it's designed that way. If you open the door, wait a bit, close it again, wait a bit again, you can hear it click off. The machine basically goes to a 0 power state and needs to boot to wake up...

These do pulse drains - the drain pump doesn't run continuously. I think it can be triggered on both a timed schedule and by pressure sensor readings. The outer tub during a high speed spin is an incredibly dynamic environment. Keep in mid the water is flung out in all directions about equally...

Yeah, but why pay a premium on a machine that's based on a design known to not be that reliable and that isn't that great to begin with, only to then pay another premium on simple parts? The machine doesn't even have sensor drying. It's just NOT a good deal for 1300$ unless you REALLY only...

Sorry, but a drain pump for 200$?!? A fill valve for 100$? A door seal for 150$? That makes SQ parts almost worth their price... The main reason these are very popular in caravans is their very unique setup. In a caravan, you have limited power, water and space resources, but easy venting...

I'd guess north of 100lbs, each. Keep in mind sizing and adequate ventilation.

That combo is based on a (now) Whirlpool design that they merged in from Hotpoint after the acquisition. Given the cabinet depth, this will have a 52l drum - that's barely 1.8cuft. Or, realistically, 11lbs wash, 5.5lbs dry. Further these aren't really known to be terribly reliable - stuff like...

Panasonic over here had a solution where if you reached the max setting of any modifier, it would double beep. Very simple and already a great step ahead of most. Miele has a specific model (GuideLine) for visually impaired people. Fully usable down to the manual being available in audio format...

I don't think soil on a filter accumulates the way you'd think. After a few cycles, there's always that thin layer of residue on it. That's the stuff that's so fine that it just barely dosen't pass through the filter and thus gets stuck in the pores. That doesn't really get much more or much...

I honestly don't know how the locking system on these works. Couldn't find out if it's a simple physical switch or a hall sensor thing. The diagram is from a parts distributor I still have access to through one of my previous jobs.

I am a heavy sweater, regardless of day and night. We in Germany typically only have fitted sheet on the mattress, pillow cover and comforter with a comforter cover. I have an all cotton comforter and recently invested in 4 sets of full linen bedding from IKEA. Still pretty pricey but way...

The door glass should be DC64-03390A.

Having worked in service with extended warranty contracts on this side of the pond, it can go one way or the other. I had a Vestel made machine where after just 2 months drum paddle snapped. Keep in mind this was THE CHEAPEST machine you could get, sub 200€. They had one service visit - and...
