Hi all, I have a 2021 Miele G7366 dishwasher and it’s operated fantastically to date. I always use the Quick Wash cycle almost exclusively which is an hour give or take to run. However, tonight it’s displaying that cycle to run almost for 3 hours. The other cycles when I selected them added...

For what it’s worth… I too am normally exasperated with the race to the bottom RE: water usage for appliances in the US market. At some point energy “efficiency” renders our machines useless and unable to fulfill their primary role without gymnastics to compensate from the end user. Our Miele...

@Jbrady Rinse levels are right at the drum lip (post-hack). However, depending on cycle and load size, sometimes the rinse water will rise up the glass door. Most I’ve ever observed is probably 3” high or so. Normal cycle rinse will pass drum lip at times and so will Speed Wash, and same...

@Ryne I agree about SQ dryers. We had the SQ TL AWN432 set. Washer was fantastic but the dryer required two expensive repairs in the span of 5 years, so off to the crusher it went. Clearly something seems way off with SQ dryers as members here have expressed reservations or outright...

@JBrady Yes, I have noticed that the wash temp probably drops with the hack, as I’ve observed mostly cold water fill even when the selection below Extra Hot is chosen. When selecting Extra Hot it tacks on like an hour to the cycle. I noticed this recently when using Normal … now when I...

For JBrady Hi there, definitely you’ll notice the rinse level to rise up to the window with the hack depending on the cycle. Normal does this, as it uses about 3x as much water for the rinse compared to the wash. Some of the specialty cycles will as well. I use Normal, Bedding, and Towels...

Water hack For the OP is the water hack worth it? For myself, I am happy with it. Clothes wash & rinse to a satisfactory level and the machine is still very economical on water usage. I found the Permanent Press cycle to be pretty underwhelming on my LG (model 8900 series) so I recommend the...

Nmassman Seems our models do differ quite a bit with cycle structure and timing as you described. Another example, Heavy Duty on mine is exactly the same as Normal but maybe a bit longer. No difference in water levels. Also, Allergiene did nothing but blow steam for an hour (no water) yet...

Towels The Towels cycle on my LG is 55 minutes with normal soil, extra high spin, Turbo Wash, and hot water selected. I use this cycle whenever rinsing is especially important, and I find it to be the best “daily driver” so to speak. Water levels are higher and seem equal for both wash and...

Congrats We have the LG WM8900 set and have been very pleased with it so far. Congrats!

Capacity I have to say that capacity was the deciding factor on our recent purchase of LG. We have king sized comforters and large dog beds needing weekly laundering at least. My heart was set on a Miele washer and dryer, but after seeing them in person, my heart sank knowing that my husband...

Nmassman44 Interesting observations. I tried the Allergiene cycle and all it seemed to do was tumble and blow vapor for 50 minutes so I cancelled the cycle and won’t use it again. Maybe there is something different about it on my model? No idea, but plenty of other cycles to use and enjoy...

Rinses Yes, I have noticed the rinse levels to be slightly higher on the cycles I’ve used both pre- and post-adjustment. At the moment I’m running a Heavy soil load on Towels and wash level is at the drum lip. (It seemed to fill higher after I set it to Heavy.). I’m not sure if the rinse will...

Adjustments I guess I’ve been lucky! On the Frigidaires I cranked up the water level to 1/3 the way up the window and was happy with it. But with the new LG, the drum is so huge that even when the water level is under the drum line, it’s plenty. I’d also feel more comfortable with that rinse...

Appnut I agree! Very disappointing that Speed Wash doesn’t have at least a brief spin between the wash and rinse. As such, this necessitates an extra rinse :/

Mark This is actually my third FL washer and I’ve adjusted the water pressure sensor on all three. First experience having one was 2004. I was horrified with how little water it used - it was a small, base level Frigidaire - and very irritated that I needed to manually pre-treat with bar...

Panasonicvac The two photos here are of the final rinse in the Speed Wash cycle. This is the highest the water level gets on any rinse cycle after the water pressure sensor adjustment was made. The wash portion uses about half this amount except on Bedding where it’s about the same.

LG WM8900 Set So it’s been about a week since we got the LG WM8900 set - and so far so good. After trying out almost each cycle including the downloadable ones, I decided to adjust the water pressure sensor 1.5 turns and finally I have enough water for any and every cycle I use. The maximum...

Panasonicvac Thanks for the tips! Which cycles have the highest water level for wash and rinse from your experience?

For Panasonicvac That 8100 set looks really nice and almost exactly like the 8900 we are getting. Definitely would love some recommended cycles to use from your experience with them; what is most important to me is a cycle with the highest wash and rinse levels. The Towels cycle has been...
