First W2 manual online https://www.miele.de/f/de/gebrauchsanweisungen-5231.aspx?mNo=12702790&asDownload=1 I just search for WQ1, maybe you'll find it in your local language aswell.

I think we all know what will destroy our soul and what will not, thank you very much. And a soul isn't much worth with a planet hostile to them. Let's say several tons means 10 metric tons. That's about equivalent to 20000kWh. Or how much an average human breaths out over 27.4 years - that's...

The EU version of these DWs with that spray arm (and it's similar derivatives) are known to not perform that great. You should probably check through out the cycle. Even this DW arm should move once around every 15-30sec. It the DW alternates spray arms, it's really easy to tell if a spray arm...

The main way Zeolite DWs are more efficient is basically a little heat energy shuffle. The heat that is used to dry the mineral is used to heat the wash water. There, the heat energy pulls double duty: heating the mineral to make it ready for drying AND heating the wash water. That's why, for...

I haven't gotten into what the Australian efficiency ratings entail yet, but similar to the EU, they appear to require a certain cleaning target. FLs down there - generally - appear to have a 40C Cottons cycle with 3 rinses ranging in the regime of VERY LONG (3h or more) cycles as rating cycle...

DW door prop Do you know how oven doors have thar indent at a few degrees open? That is was the cheapo Vestel made DW I bought for my partner has. Actually many DWs with AutoOpen door have these, so when the door is pushed open by the machine, it just stays there. My Miele stays open in any...

Given that kitchens in the EU have long been a kind of off-the-shelf mix and match cabinet system, there is and was a very specific design system that didn't have adjustable feet for the cabinets. Those usually had the typical 82cm height which added up to the typical 86cm work top height. But...

@logixx Huh, I always thought the hot fill setting deactivated the heat exchanger completely. Thanks for the info!

In the EU, Bosch machines have a heat exchanger water pocket on the left side of the cabinet that fills at various stages of the cycle to syphon away some of the heat as most EU machines are connected to cold water. That is also used in drying. Sequence is a drain at the end of the final rinse...

I mean, 0.1 to 0.3kWh would be an increase of 10% to 30% of a typical DW energy usage today. One thing I never understood was where the moisture is supposed to go with heated dry and no fan or vent. Don't think just typical condensation effects could cope with that amount of heat... I found...

I mean, these dryers were redesigned for more airflow - and especially a heat pump dryer can't really have to much air flow (within reason, of course). And this doesn't really have any worse trapping of small items than many dryers. A dryer sheet or a sock might get stuck in the bottom corners...

The filter clean out is one of those things you don't really need - until you REALLY NEED IT RIGHT NOW. If you ever had washer either get a blocked drain or quit draining for some reason you know it's a PAIN to empty it - but at least you CAN. The AEG my grandma bought had a PCB fault that...

I have a Spotify playlist that's now almost 800 tracks long that I play while driving, cooking, etc. Basically my own little radio station, specifically catered to my likes.

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...
