Approve so far I just picked up a bottle myself with a $1.00 off coupon. I love the scent of this detergent and it seems to do very well. I was in the mood to pick up some Henkel products that day so I got a bottle of the Purex with Zout, a bottle of Purex fabric softener, and a bottle of...

Very nice Louis, Very nice machine! I really like the new Ultra One vacs that electrolux came out with - they look very comparable to a Miele to me. Andrew

Purex Complete with Zout I got a sample of Purex Complete with Zout in the mail the other day and tried it out tonight on some dirty whites I used for changing the oil in my car and mowing the lawn. Shirt had dirt from laying on the garage floor (no oil from the car oil change though), and the...

I don't think it is possible to re-program them - I've looked at the service manual for my Miele W3033 and it does not have anything other than a disable / enable entirely the LED drum light. I don't know that it would be easy to try and re-wire it either (and since I shelled out $2,000 for my...

Responses @ Jerrod, I have been using this new powder for all of my loads, and have been satisfied with how things turn out. It's a color safe oxygen bleach so it's safe for colors. @ joe_in_philly, Yes he was suprised how well they came out. I think a lot of the dirt that I got out was...

Final Rinse Taking into consideration how filthy the clothing was, and how dark even the 3rd rinse was, this final 4th rinse came out pretty well considering. I really wanted to throw them in for another round but this load was already 2 hours, 40 minutes and he had to get going. I am now...

Main Wash Water Here is after the main wash drain - My Miele has an upset stomach I think... LOL

Pre Wash Water Here is the pre wash water getting pretty dirty.

Dirty Work Clothes Test My friend is a mechanic and his clothes are very filthy with dirt, oil, transmission fluids, etc at the end of his day. I asked him to bring a few of his work clothes over this afternoon and I tried them out with my Tide Ultra HE Plus Bleach at 50C "Very Warm". Here is...

Tide Ultra HE Plus Bleach - Suds @ 70C (159F) Here is the suds level for the new Tide Ultra HE Plus Bleach at 70C (159F). The dose was to line 2 of the scoop. A huge improvement vs the recent Tide HE powder. The scent between the two are totally different, but it might just be the fact that...

Hey Hey Malcolm - I'm still not done with the basement LOL - I've just got 1/2 the floor left to grout and do trim and then I'll be done - too cold to work down there in the winter, and I've been lazy at work. Will have it finished up this spring / summer, and then when my coworker comes to...

Motor Drive Details I have the smaller W3033 that was available at the same time this model was available - they both use similar motor control technologies. Here are a few snips from the W3033's Service Manual that may help. When my machine is washing, if you put your ear up to the left side...

Wow I would have to say the condition of the spider for the age of the washer is nothing short of remarkable. Even the couple of rust spots are clearly only surface deep, and I doubt impact the structural design in any way. How old is this washer, and how many loads does it see in an average...

Thanks! Really appreciate the close up photos of the drum spider and shaft. I'd say that the spider looks to be in excellent condition vs some I've seen on other washers that totally crumble from corrosion. I plan to do a yearly descaling of my Miele and I do monthly maintenance washes to...

Dynomite A stick of TNT might be your next best option :) Keep at it, it'll come apart eventually. Might try a dremel to weaken that race until it finally breaks off. Would be much easier than trying to use anything else that I can think of. Can you take the front of the outer drum off, and...

Photos The photos above I posted are the only resolution I have unfortunately - I found them a while back on a google search. I did email Miele about what my W3033's spider was made from and they advised the following. I don't know if it's the same solid spider in the above photos or not, but...

Spiders Here are a couple of photos of the spider that is actualy attached to the drum itself. There is also the cast X piece that you already took off from the back of the drum. I'm curious to see what your inner tub's spider is made of.

Photos of Spider Please! GrahamW, When you get this torn apart further, can you please take some photos of the Miele Spider on the drum? I'm curious to see if it is much different than just a couple of photos I have found online of other Miele Spiders. I know it would be appreciated by about...
