    Whirlpool Duets for Sale

    Keep in mind with chlorine bleach: You would want heat and a short time. Even with wash times in the 30min range most US FLs tend to add bleach the last few minutes. Add EU wash times of an hour at least usually, and you can't just add chlorine bleach at the very start. You could in a cool...

    Whirlpool Duets for Sale

    I think the ones in the picture were not made in Germany anymore. The ones with the program dial that had the long thin area to grip were the last ones made here - they were the last ones sold here. Once production shifted to the US, they stopped making the EU versions.

    I really like the look of the new Whirlpool Front Loaders

    The whole talk about water in the sump being recirculated and impeding rinse results always sounded odd to me. Let's say the sump of any machine at the end of a drain keeps 2l or 2 quarts of water. Even a medium size 8lbs load of cottons keeps at least 4 quarts of water before being spun. Thus...

    Samsung 18/11kg Heat Pump washer dryer UK model!

    They are using an EEV - a first in heat pump laundry? What I have just realised: Both the LG and the Samsung appear to use an EEV - electronic expansion valve - on their new heat pump combos. LG also appears to use one on their stand alone heat pump dryer. The GE does NOT use such a setup but...

    Thoughts on LG wash tower.

    I think there are a bunch of different normal cycles, and from what I've heard, LGs is one of the OK ones. Keep in mind that the rating cycle is - as far as I understand - the default cycle, so the one right after you switch on. And with LG, that gives you the warm Normal cycle with TurboWash...

    Thoughts on LG wash tower.

    They are - at base - the same as a MOL TurboWash360 washing machine and and a matching tumble dryer - regardless of if it is gas, electric or heat pump. So the major difference is the machine being fused into one. So unless you really need the UI lower down, a separate washer and dryer...

    Questions on this Maytag Performa

    With sufficient airflow and a sufficiently large drum and matching load size, you can scale basically infinitely in heating power. The limiting factor at some point becomes the laundry itself. A T-Shirt has only so much surface area and heat/moisture can only move through the fabric so fast...

    Whirlpool WTW4816FW: auto sensing issue

    I never was 100% sure how these VMWs did load sensing and I am inversely certain they had a lot different of sensing systems over time, too. These could do load sensing in 2 ways. First would be fill time/volume. The bigger the load, the longer it takes until the machine actually sees water...

    Miele W 4800 question...

    Weird, maybe these links directly to a search expire. Actually double checked it works. This is the link to the spare oarts catalog from Mieles website: https://www4.miele.de/msd?vg=VG-US&country=US&language=en

    Unwrapping a new “Vintage” heat pump dryer

    What's actually kind of impressive is that Miele actually had a A+++ dryer with the TwinPower system at prices not to far from some W1 dryers. These machines are certainly great performers! Enjoy your new machine.

    Miele W 4800 question...

    Miele had a glass washing valve on most of their FLs since they used motorised water path selection I think - so some time in the W4xx days in EU? Or maybe the W2xxx series? Anyway, that was used to wet the glass door and laundry touching it as well as allowing the pre fill to fill the sump so...

    New Dishwasher: GE GPT225SGLWW Portable

    The tarifs (usually) follow the idea that the more of the production and assembly is done by value, the lower the tarif. So, importing raw SS-plate and stamping/forming them in country probably means lower rates than importing the finished part. Further considerations are how much you could...

    New Dishwasher: GE GPT225SGLWW Portable

    I mean, Haier owns GE - so yes, of course it is made by Haier. A Maytag today isn't made by Maytag either and shares a lot of similarities with the Whirlpool "parent design" - so this is still a GE with GE originalities, like how the controls are layed out, the Hot Start feature etc.

    Bought a pressure cooker

    It's been really nice to just do a quick Saturday evening meal. I drive back to my work flat on Sunday afternoon usually and we really only eat for dinner - so Saturday evening is our big meal together basically. My mum had an all stainless Silit that's from my parents wedding (so going on 40...

    Bought a pressure cooker

    I guess this is one of these once in a lifetime purchases. Bought it in a WMF Outlet Store and got another 20% on top. Went with the 6,5l/7qt model - you only have a minimal fill quantity of like a cup or 2 and can "only" use 2/3rds - so rather bigger than too small. Have to say - these things...

    Got my replacement dishwasher yesterday, GE model #GDT225SSLS

    Appears to be the same base machine as the portable one in the other thread. What an coincidence... The machine probably does heating to some extend regardless of boost settings. It should do just fine as 120F is what these get tested on. AutoSense uses an optical sensor - so probably the most...

    New Dishwasher: GE GPT225SGLWW Portable

    From the GE parts diagram, this appears to have a Nidec single speed pump with flow through heater and and Askol drain pump. That would explain the dry period - can't do a heated dry, and condensation drying doesn't require machine action. Wouldn't be surprised normal has a longer dry period for...

    IFA 2024

    That noise - almost like a very fast ticking - that changes in frequency is the inverter compressor ramping up. Especially at very low speed, they sound somewhat like a fan not running completely smooth. As with every dryer, the recorded noises are a bit exaggerated I would think - I don't think...

    Miele Softener draining too early!

    This machine does have a motorised water diverter from what I can gather from the parts diagram.
