New Miele DW does not regenerate

[henene4]

I hooked up my machine to hot water as well and it saves some energy - but not as dramatic as I thought.
I think Miele dramatically changes the heating logic once it senses a warm fill - I basically get the same wash and rinse temps regardless of what Auto senses to.

I also found that the Auto cycle can get mixed up and deliver middling results.
Mine sometimes runs a prerinse with a full drain, and then runs the shortest main wash which is less than 30min which often just isn't enough.
Mine has never done a gray rinse - Auto mostly does a full drain and flush, and then the pullsed rinse before full final rinse.


Mine still has the "Normal" cycle which is basically Auto with full soil which I sometimes though rarely use if I don't trust the Auto cycle.
But QPW is pretty efficient for a fast cycle still, so using that has come in handy if I don't need a prewash.



BSHs heat exchangers of the earlier generations were significantly different to the today ones.
With todays design I have 0 hygiene concerns - the only area that can get gunked up is completely removed from any fresh water source.

Still not 100% sure if todays upper line G7000s still have Mieles version of the heat exchanger.
I think so - the manuals at least suggest it - but I really wasn't able to tell how the current design works from the parts diagrams.
The very early ones used a separate pump and so on - very Miele typical over engineering...

So now there is a new problem showing up, a build up of limescale where the water is entering the tub as if the water inlet wouldn`t shut off completely.

Mine looks exactly the same and has since day one.

I am not 100% sure about your model, but mine has the brilliant glass care system which is supposed to adjust water hardness up or down based on what your hardness is set at and if a cycle step is heated or not.
That means it might add certain amounts of hard warter under specific circumstances.

Never bothered me tbh and is certainly absolutely a sign of a leak.
The sump on these machines is so small even the tiniest leak would fill the sump up rather fast.

Did you perhaps mean to say "and is certainly absolutely not a sign of a leak?"

Yes, of course, sorry for the mistake, and thank you for catching it!
