Great dishwasher My mom has a Jenn air dishwasher of this design. Bought it in November of 2004 and it’s still running. Racks are rusty but it’s still going. It’s a great dishwasher, cleans very well and fast. They always had soft water- so literally no mineral build up. It was our family...

Glad I’m not crazy for thinking this! Someday, someday in my dream laundry room. I want to build a cabinet with a dehumidifier in it to create a fast and effective drying system. Before kids and mountains of laundry… I would hang most clothes up after the wash and my garments would look...

Congrats! I have the 878 version that does include extra scrub. I have only used this option for baked on items I didn’t want to soak and scrub. Though I feel it does a pretty good job even with out that option. This dishwasher has been by far the best dishwasher I’ve ever used. The crystal...

Thank you for that explanation! On my W4842 model I have the option to change country settings to EU, AU, French? And English. Would this change the way how Miele washers act? I would believe this could be applied to the W1

I too would keep the kitchen aid over anything else out there. Kitchen aids are generally the quieter DD. The pump on newer machines can get awfully loud. Sure you can hear the kitchen aid, but it’s a consistent smooth sound where as newer machines make different noises through out the wash.

Turns out the Miele a smarter than we thought it was. It didn’t even hit 1400rpm on a rough load I had in there today.

I found a service manual. Found a service manual and went to town on it. I added water+ because I thought a little more water will help boost it performance. Will have to do a few loads Operating hours is 2028 - that seems really low to me. Isn’t the average operating hours 15000 hours...

My childhood friend growing up had this washer. They were a family of 6 and all involved in sports. I remember the mom picking up a big pile of clothes and stuffing it in the washer. I can still remember the stupid lid lock on the spin and the Era detergent with bounce dryer sheets!

Bosch Axxis from early 2000’s it was a great performer and rinsed pretty well. I have never had sweaty work shirts come out so clean wash after wash. Miele 4842 is getting up there in cleaning power, as I currently have a 4370 LG. If I have a big load of towels the Miele will outperform the...

We opened it up So, only taking the top off, the power supply and control board seem to be ok. The bad burnt rubber smell is coming by the motor. I’m assuming the hall sensor is probably in the way and got burnt up. They bought it at Costco- so they are still waiting to hear back from them.

It’s one week old!

My sister had a 4370 before she moved from Iowa to Florida. She left the old set at the house and bought a new set- WM3900 One week later the washer smelled like it caught fire and completely shut down. I asked her how much soap she put in, she says very minimal and she was washing two...

A little off topic.. I was cleaning dryer vents for a 12 suite hair salon the other day. While cleaning behind the lint trap, I had to shine a light from my phone to see in there, my phone fell in the blower housing. 4 screws later, I was able to access the blower housing and rescue my phone...

Cold water washing.. the main area might look clean, but the inside is nasty and it stinks!

You will love it! I have the 878 with old style rack. Had a kitchen aid before this one. I feel that it holds more and holds odd dishes better- not to mention there’s more space in between racks than the older KitchenAid machines. As far as cleaning, hands down, much better. It’s like...

Updates! Observations. The washer is Efficient! On average it’s 6-7 gallons of water per load. I have done quite a few loads in it and I love the algorithm. Miele is much slower than my LG with turbo wash- but I see Miele’s beliefs in taking care for your garments. I am comparing this Miele...

I have always wondered why it looked like bolts in the inner tub. Didn’t realize two inner tubs! Thanks for sharing!!! Question. What are the differences in pitman and helical drive transmission? I tried googling it and it looks like a helical to me. Would one argue pitman is more reliable than...

I did it on a Neptune Bearings wore out so bad the pulley grinned in two holes in the putter tub. did use a gorilla type glue on mine (it was a two phase glue) and it worked. The hole was on the top part of the drum, so the only water that would affect it, is spinning. I’d do it if you can...

How many here have tons of washer parts in storage?? I have a lot of Neptune parts (4000) and second generation whirlpool/kenmore parts. I have almost all control boards, belows and a few pumps. Those machines worked until the bearings went out and ate the shaft. I always thought I could...

I bypassed the dispenser hose and it goes directly into the washer- so as of now the dispensers won’t work correctly but at least I can wash clothes. I have it Hooked up in my garage using hot water for now.. I can’t believe how dirty the water is after each load. Gross! One reason I don’t...
