Dishwasher temperature profile.
Hi Everyone,
Following on temperature profile tests on heat pump dryers. I decided to do the same test in my Miele dishwasher. I ran two different programs and this is what I found.
Auto 45 -65 C + IntenseZone option. Running time 2 hours 34 minutes. Hot water connection.
Prewash - 30C
Main wash - 50C, then further heating to 57C during IntenseZone phase
Final rinse - 61C
QuickPowerWash + IntenseZone. Running time: 1 hour 4 minutes. Hot water connection
Main wash - 68C, then reheat to 68C during IntenseZone phase
Final rinse - 65C
The QPW impresses me with even baked-on dishes coming out spotless clean in around 1 hour. Amazing!

This is very interesting. We have a high use household and I don't like having dishwasher tabs in the house. My wife loves them so we have the plastic jug of finish tablets.
The killer for me would be having to buy the detergent from Miele. I wonder if it would be possible to drill a hole in the side of the power disk about the size of a small funnel and then just refill it. That or make a small hole in the foil on the top, refill with a funnel and the cover hole with a piece of duct foil tape or duct tape?
That would surely reduce the cost of the detergent to normal and still get the AutoDos function. If Miele was not shooting for recurring revenue they could have very easily made that whole dispenser a simple flip open door you open and then dump in detergent of your choice, close the door and be done with it for the next 20-25 loads.
It should be simple just like the water softener salt chamber in the bottom of the dishwasher.
I really love the TwinDos option on my washing machine and refill on those bottles is very easy. Depending how long the existing dishwasher lasts I will have a little time to think up how to refill the cartridge.
Some enterprising company should think up a way of making a refillable cartridge. It can not be THAT difficult.

There are already "tutorials" on either drilling into the PowerDisk or cutting into the foil to refill it.
