Partial drain during wash I cannot remember where I read (maybe in a User's Manual) that the partial drain during the wash is caused by an increase of he internal pressure if the door is opened and then closed again while the temperature inside is high and there is a lot of steam. The increased...

@dj-gabriele «I think I'm the member that "madly loves SMEG"» And what on earth makes you think that?... :-)

Compliments for your new dishwaser SMEG is a good and reputed brand (a member here madly loves SMEG...) and this model is still made http://www.smeg.com/product/sto905/

@kenmoreguy89 (and sorry for the off-topic) "the new president, that BTW has not even been elected" I assume you mean the President of the Council of Ministers. If this is the case, please note that the Constitution of the Italian Republic does not state that the president has to be elected...

Why should we trust you to count things? You don't have to: we have too much fun when you crash your expensive space exploring robots just because you made an error with the calculations of feet and pounds

Easier in Europe "You Euros on KG and litres, figger it out for yerselves." Thank you, but in Europe we don't need to figger out anything: a litre of water weights a kilogram. And this further confirms the superiority of the International System of Units... :-)[this post was last edited...

What about the fabric softener? In my life I have used only 3 fabric softeners: 1) Italian store brand: no problem with the dispenser, just some waxy residue, but no mildew 2) Ecover (UK version): same as number 1) above 3) Seventh Generation Free and Clear (USA version): well... yes, mildew...

Useless 1) I agree with @hoover1100 2) You need almost an entire bottle of Dettol (instructions say 160 ml) to "sanitize" a (front-load) washing machine load, and you will have to manually add it in the rinse cycle 3) Smells horribly (ever worse, indeed) and the smell never goes away 4)...

A different solution In cases like this, I print the page (with the "File->Print..." command) using "Nitro PDF Creator" (it comes with "Nitro PDF Reader": www.nitropdf.com) as a printer (I set the best printing quality, which is the highest resolution). The webpage is printed on a pdf file, I...

And another random thought... Re-formulated detergent that dissolves worse. I have had the same issue with my previous Electrolux (AEG re-branded) dishwasher, but in that case I believe is was rather a design flaw

@danemodsandy I completely agree with you that «saying that "Upgraded equals pointless" [would be] a bit uncool», but instead I read the original post as "Doesn't it seem pointless to upgrade just not to see the ads?" which does not mean that upgrading is pointless, but that it WOULD SEEM...

Well... I don't know why, but it seems to me that every time the matter is mentioned, there is a sort of over-reaction. Yes, maybe the original question was not expressed in the nicest possible form, but it seemed to me a legitimate question, and sometimes the replies have not been much nicer...

support powdered detergent instead! Do you mean that I should I feel guilty for using liquids? :-)

"Miele only get "A" ratings for cleaning" I cannot remember any washing machine rated less than "A" for cleaning, and do you really believe that cleaning ratings have anything to do with how clean your laundry will come out of the machine?

"Don't understand where your coming from" From a place where the best place for personal hygiene things, including those involving water, is the bathroom (if a laundry room is not available for personal clothes hygiene) and where kitchen is the place for cooking and eating, but washing only...

With the due respect for disabled people... If someone is unable to turn on a washing machine, that person would hardly be able to load it, put the detergent, unload... Seems to me a very useless "invention"

Generally, I read labels... ...and I read INCIs just because: 1) I want to know what I use 2) I don't like the thought of applying mineral oils on my skin For toilet products, I use Weleda: expensive (but there are offers online) but simple and quite effective and without synthetic fragrances...

User's manual ...page 39 http://www.electrolux-ui.com/2002/822/943130en.pdf

Emergency door opening The Italian user's manual of the "AEG ÖKO-LAVAMAT 88840 update" states that there is a "screw" beside the drain filter: turning that "screw" clockwise with a coin unlocks the door. If it works, it is not the most comfortable way but, well...

Laundry "hostage" That's not completely correct: safety regulations in Europe require that the door cannot be opened if there a risk for the user, typically when there is high-level water (risk of flooding) or high temperature (risk of scalding) or spinning (well...). Manufacturer not only...
