I purchased the LG 4370 set. Got it installed and love it so far. I noticed the gas burner is pretty loud. Sounds like a blow torch. I have never heard such a loud gas burner in my life! Though I had a electric dryer my whole life- so I don’t know what it really should sound like. Natural...

Sudsmaster I rarely used chlorine bleach- maybe to run the washer through a “clean washer cycle” I’ve replaced many bearings on the Neptune- eventually I put it in collectors mode. It needs to be retired. Their original pump 40 watt is super quiet and they are rare and harder to find. Many...

Reply #43 Sudsmaster Thank you for that explanation- yes, I’ve experienced Neptune’s having a difficulty spinning when they are loaded to the max. So if you say Neptune’s is measured at 6kg- on Miele’s website- they are claiming 18 pounds- which is 8.1kg- this means the w1 would be bigger...

Believe it or not, my Neptune died today. The bearings seized up. It will not turn. Spider pulley is fine. I went to my appliance store and have a buddy that works there. He thought with my growing family, Miele might be a wee bit small. Not to mention drying times will be long. Full loads...

48ml seems like a a lot for me. Especially when those small machines don’t like a lot of soap. I use a detergent called Excelsior, and you only need 1tbs (15ml) if I use more, my Neptune will suds lock. Not to mention I have a water softener. Refilling with my detergent would help lower the...

So, you can’t refill the old ones then?

Another question. TwinDos system.. The online user manual says only use TwinDos system? According to other threads, you can use your own detergent if you wish. 48ml seems like a lot of detergent for me. I’ve also read online, Miele phase 1 is basically phase 1? Can any of you confirm this...

Do Miele’s go on sale? I wouldn’t mind getting a little bit of a bargain. There is a $100 per machine you buy. But is that good? Tom

Looked at compact machines I didn’t find a Miele as the sales guy said that it was sold just two days ago, but they told me, bosch had a similar capacity. They had an asko set as well, one with towels in it. I was able to see how full the bosch was. 14 thin bath towels fit comfortably in the...

Reply to sudsmaster That’s good to know that your Miele holds as much as a Neptune in your experience! Do you know if the 1918 is smaller than the new w1’s? Or is the 1918 a w1? I’m not as familiar with Miele products like I am with American/Maytag products. I thought I read, 1918 is 5kg and...

My current washer is a Maytag Neptune- 3.3cu ft I wash about 12-16 loads depending on what I do for work- I have a window cleaning business and wash a lot of towels and microfiber pads. Probably 5-7 loads a week. I typically do smaller loads anyways- probably 1/2 to 3/4 full.. I feel the load...

The past few days, I’ve been watching Miele reps, representing the washer and dryer. Interesting, when it comes to capacity, they aren’t claiming it’s that big, but you should separate your laundry as much as possible. My question would be, more smaller loads means more time, right? Or how long...

Anyone on here own laundromats? Successful? Dying industry? Always have been interested in them. Talked to a speed queen rep and seems to be very knowledgeable.

I ended up contacting the person again for a serial number. The gal laughed. But I had to know! Serial says February of 88. I thought Maytag had already switched over to the orbital transmission by then. Guess I was wrong. You are right, 4 water levels and 3 temps. It is a large tub. Blue...

I repaired an old Maytag today. A482 series 4 The water valve was bad. Can anyone tell me how old the 482 is? It has the helical drive transmission.

Agiflow3 The normal cycle has one rinse I believe with a spray default rinse. Using heavy duty it defaults to 2 rinses.

Rinses, and prewash This is what wins me over to LG over Electrolux. Lg you can add a pre wash and add up to 3 extra rinses. I used my sisters 4370 and it filled and drained and spun 7 times plus spray rinses in between all rinses. There are times you would need this for really dirty...

Steam I have never use steam for stains. I’ve always used it for deodorizing clothes/towels or getting rid of sweat. My whirlpool duet I had at the other house, I could use warm water and steam- this is something I don’t like about LG. It uses Hot water then steam. I’m now using a Neptune...

Thank you henrik and others that replied That helps out a lot, nice to know it doesn’t change the cycle completely- I can better understand how it works. Looking forward to the new LG’s coming out! Yes the new LG’s that have been coming to the U.S. have dc pumps. I installed a 3700 once for...

Yeah, I would like a light in the washer. I like to see the action! I guess I’m concerned about the artificial intelligence of fabric sense. What if I want an aggressive wash action and it senses it to less aggressive action? Maybe I have a problem with being in control of how the washer runs...
