Miele W4840 washer child entrapment sensor:
Comments (2)"Child Lock" disables the control panel from responding so children playing can't turn on the machine, or change the settings while it's running or pause the cycle and open the door ... unless they know how to turn off Child Lock with the Heavy cycle button as described. As SuburbanMD says, "Child Entrapment" is something entirely different....See MoreMiele W4840 - Fabric Softener Dispensing
Comments (22)fahrenheit - Honestly, I don't think I've happened on any error here at all. After another test, maybe something could be said, but at this point it appears to be a mistake. For the most part all of the cycles are independent of each other. Just because "drain/spin" is a certain length doesn't mean that portion of "exta white" follows the same timing and exact pattern. A good example of this can be seen by looking at the "custom" cycle. crooks101 already noticed that "custom" doesn't use more water if the additional water function is choosen in the firmware (haven't played with the firmware myself, but crooks101 seemed absolutely certain of this). There is one other difference with "custom". It seems like the 1st and 2nd rinse spins (assuming you've choosen a 3rd rinse via "sensitive") are very-very slow spinning, short, low extraction spins even if you choose "max spin" as your spin option. At first I thought I was just seeing the W4840 trying a failed faster spin attempt and then punting by doing a slower spin. The W4840 seems to have an extremely good ability to get a load spinning even if it's somewhat out of balance so this behavior puzzled me. I've done 4 or 5 "custom" loads now and it always acts in this way with the lethargic intermediate spins. Other cycles like "normal" or "extra white" give the clothing a very good spin-out during these spins. I'm feeling some of crooks101 frustration in wondering why Miele programmed it like this. The machine has plenty of delicate options that seem well designed, so it's difficult to understand why "custom" acts like this....See MoreHappy Owner of Miele W4840 Washer
Comments (18)ssnetboy26, I know where your coming from, but at the same time it's tough to compare one person's experience and results with how it might play in your own house. Without the internal heater working you might get very different results between: (1) A basement install on a concrete floor where it's positioned right next to a domestic hot water (DHW) heater set to 140F in Florida with average cold water temps of 80F and soft water. vs. (2) A second floor laundry room in an old house without any floor reinforement with 150 ft of uninsulated pipe between the machine and the DHW heater set to 120F in Canada with average cold water temps of 50F and ultra hard water. Even with an internal heater, water chemistry alone could dictate very different experiences. In the end you have to decide if your willing to live with workarounds using a very well made machine with some firmware teething issues. Sometime seems out of whack when a quality manufacturer asks you to pay $1600 to $1800 for a washer with beta firmware. Given the reality of the alternatives it might still be the right choice....See MoreRinsing in Frigid Water
Comments (33)anoop, some of your points are a little off-target. Running an extra rinse in a frontloader or HE toploader may very well still involve less total water than filling a non-HE toploader's tub for a wash, some spin-sprays, and a rinse. Regards to showering, less water is wasted down the drain while one soaps and scrubs the body. Same for running the water while washing hands and dishes. Refrigerator compressors may have different sound characteristics due to different mechanical design, not so much higher RPM. Variable-speed compressors can throttle down to *slower* RPMs than old-style units. I've checked the wattage draw on my refrigerator as sometimes being less than 100 watts with the compressor is running. There are LED light bulbs that have excellent color rendering. Cutting water usage isn't related only to the volume of water drawn into the home, it also reduces the volume of water sent out that must be run through sewer treatment. The sewer part of city utility bills in my town is higher than the water part....See More- 10 years ago
