New Miele W4842 & T9822

[favorit]

Reverse tumble logic

This dryer has separate motors for blower and drum

The pc-board reads the drum motor current draw. As soon as laundry starts tangling up into a ball, the motor suddenly draws more current, cause the wrapped up laundry is heavier to tumble. This current peak acts as signal for the reversion step.

The very same logic is used by the washer to detect the load size, so to match the right wash profile.

The pc-board matches motor current draws with load adsorbement data coming from the flow-meter,
then states wash step time , wash tumbling pattern, rinse tumbing pattern, number of rinses and water level used during rinses

My 11 y.o. novotronic works this way .... i'm pretty sure latest mieles also have the same logic at least

Gas and electric dryers from Miele have different reversing algorithms. The electric ones reverse more often. It's all described in the service manual.

could you clarify, please?

Favorit said "Both miele toploaders and american W48XX are niche products = each machine is charged with a higher depreciation rate of the production line."

I'm sorry but I don't understand what this means... can you explain?

Thanks!

 

[somonica]

Have anyone here try the Swedish mode with their W48XX yet?

Soft water made more effective wash? less wash time? more rinse time / water level?

sorry for my bad english

This is not my field (accounting) however i'll try

Suppose you own a whatever manufacturing firm and you are about to buy new machinery for your production lines.

Before buying new machinery you have to make some decisions wheter is worth manufacturing a product in-house rather than outsourcing it from a contractor.

One of these decisions involve the number of years you are supposed to produce with that machinery and the number of items you are supposed to produce per year.

So you will spread the cost of the machinery along its whole extimated lifespan.

To cut a long story : the more items you produce, the lower is the **machinery cost per single item** cause you spread the whole cost on more items

Now Miele sells 24" frontloaders worldwide, so the *machinery cost per item* is lower than the *same kind cost* of their niche products

Their big frontloaders are sold just in USA ,Canada and Mexico, so they have a ** higher machinery cost per item** than 24" frontloaders

Miele (but also whatever other brand) horizontal axis toploaders are sold just in mainland Europe ( they are rare in UK and Ireland). In France they are more common (50% front vs 50% top), elsewhere in europe there are typically 80% frontloaders and 20% toploaders.

If you google a bit and compare same brand FL and TL models with same spin speed, same capacity and same other features, you'll make up that horizontal axis toploaders are more expensive than frontloaders

Thanks for the explanation, favorit!

If you ask me, your English is favoloso!

: )

Hope I spelled that right.
