I specifically mentioned the manual, so yes. It definitely doesn't work the way the manual says, though. Or maybe I'm just doing it wrong. It seems weirdly complicated. For example, directly from the manual, to select a mode, you need to "press on/off button. Hold down button A (see pages 6-7) and press start until display shows d:0x. Release both buttons, and then press A until the display indicates setting. Press Buttons B and C to change the value. Press start to save the setting. Open dishwasher so that door is slightly ajar, press start, and then close within four seconds to start cycle" There are also several button that just have the modes labelled on them, but pressing them does nothing and the manual identifies the buttons but doesn't say anything else about them so I haven't figured out how to get them to work yet. I do want to reiterate that I am very happy with it overall and I do expect over the next year or two to develop a basic understanding of how it works.

Auto —> Air Dry —> Start —> Shut door. Perfectly good for 99% of dishes, including pots and pans.  My one learning point is to not overload the top rack in the front, because there is a safety interlock in the back that can disengage under flex. It is not intuitive to deal with the various troubleshooting lights.

Letting it go for a year+ is a gross oversight to make. I’m pretending all previous dishwashers did not have a filter accessible for cleaning.

Do not buy a Samsung or LG anything. For dishwashers, as already been mentioned, look to Bosch.

Bosch is great, and Whirlpool support has always come through for me. Word of caution, don't spring for the machines that are super super duper quiet if they lack a vent. There's basically no point to having a drying cycle if moisture cannot make it out of the box. I liked the quietness of my machine at my previous home, but I had to leave the door open for 20 to 30 minutes to let it finish air drying because there was no external air exchange to allow drying to complete with the door closed.

I learned this also, but it's more that I learned from doing so that my wife and I have drastically different interpretations of what the instruction manual meant when it said to not pre-wash the dishes before adding them. She was just putting plates with, like, toddler chicken nuggets and stuff into the washer without scraping anything first.  Like, no poo poo it isn't making green beans literally disappear, honey.

Kind of assume at this point they are all virtually the same if you pay for mid-tier or above. Other news, I chatted with CenturyLink last week to come out and remove the phone line to the house since I don't use it. Reading other experiences, I expected this to be low priority, maybe have to call a few times to get it done. Came home today to find 2 CL guys just pulling in. They removed the lines in like 15 minutes (I had to leave). A+ job CenturyLink. phosdex fucked around with this message at 19:02 on May 6, 2024 |

Hadlock posted:I dunno if I have enough patience to stare at a blinking clock that long every time I start the dishes Total process takes literally 1-2 seconds. He's demonstrating it nice and slowly for the video. There are a few odd little features with the washer that take time to get used to. Like, checking a light on the floor to make sure your washer started because it's too quiet for you to hear it over the voices in your head, knowing that the clock not blinking means it's all set, etc. Still a fabulous machine.

Oh, the dissonant "YOU HAVE DONE IT INCORRECTLY AND WILL BE PUNISHED" dissonate tone? Yeah, that's what happens when you close it when on and "clean" or any time after it's been clean but still "on". It's really excessive. You can just turn it off and that will stop happening. There's probably a menu item to turn that off somewhere. I should look for it.

It might just actually be broken, but when it works mine is just press button and close, even though its a different model. The problem is that there seem to be a lot of ways to get it into a state where it is no longer like that. Someone bumps it while its open, or opens it seconds after it started, or accidentally presses the button twice, and even turning it off and on again wont reliably get it back into that state, I gotta do the process I listed and then it will work again until it doesnt, sometimes. And sometimes pressing the button and closing it doesnt do anything at all even if it otherwise seems to be in the right state. More likely its not broken and I just dont understand it and am unknowingly doing something wrong, like I said I'll spend some time trying to figure it out eventually.

You can just turn it off and that will stop happening. <sigh> it's that time of year again!   Intensive drying The final rinse uses a higher temperature which improves the drying result. The cycle time may increase slightly. (Caution if utensils are delicate!) This feature has two settings: 1. Open the door. 2. Press the On/Off button (1). 3. Hold down function key A and press Start button (6) until the display (3) indicates d:x (x can be any number). 4. Release both buttons. 5. Press function key A until the display (3) indicates the factory set value d:00 6. Press function key C to switch the Extra dry feature on d:01 or off d:00 7. Press Start button (6) to save setting. The wash cycle has ended when the display (3) reads 0:00. If the signal tone has been set, the wash cycle end is also indicated by a buzzer. To change the signal volume: 1. Open the door. 2. Press the On/Off button (1) 3. Hold down function key A and press Start button (6) until the display (3) indicates d:0x (x can be any number). Release both buttons. 4. Press function key A until the display shows b:02. 5. Press function key C. Each time the button is pressed the set value increases by one level; when it reaches the value b:03, the display jumps back to b:00 (off). 6. Press Start button (6) to save the setting. TimeLight® (Optical display while the wash cycle is running) While wash cycle is running, an optical display (time remaining alternating with cycle indicator images) is projected onto the floor under the appliance door. You can switch the optical display on (5:01)‚ or off (5:00). To change the setting: 1. Open the door. 2. Press On/Off button (1) 3. Hold down function key A and press Start button (6) until the display (3) shows H:0x or d:0x (x can be any number). 4. Release both buttons. The light above function key A flashes and the display (3) shows the factory set value. 5. Press function key A until the display (3) shows the factory set value 5:01. 6. Press function key C to switch between 5:00 and 5:01. 7. Press Start button (6) to save setting. For unknown reasons, mine does not, sadly, have the TimeLight setting.

And sometimes pressing the button and closing it doesnt do anything at all even if it otherwise seems to be in the right state. It's possible that yours is defective. As noted, ours bricked within a day of install, which put an extremely large chip on my shoulder as the "cry" part (i.e. how much I paid for it) was still firmly in mind, blinking neonish-ly). I did the system reset, and it was fine for about 2-weeks. Repeat. It did it once more after about a month - but hasn't done it since. I was ready to yank it out & demand another, but the shoulder chip has since withered away. I set the auto-power off function, and it held that...then my wife stated it was staying powered up after it was done. I wouldn't give a poo poo, but if it's bumped & the door latches, it tones. That got old. I'm with Motronic on that one Apparently it did that a few times, and has since reverted to powering off when it's finished. Tempermental little minx.

Jesus, I thought the dishwasher thing was just silly, but either that is some rear end backwards user interface or I am way too loving high for that diagram. I dunno, I bought my dishwasher almost a decade ago at a sears ding n dent store and it's been flawless ever since. I press the start button twice, close the door, and it just works really well. It's freakin great. The last place I lived had a bosch dishwasher and it was truly awful. The filter would become rancid and need frequent cleaning, which I had attributed to the design, but could've also been some lovely routing or looping on the drain coil.

Basically ten years ago LG resigned their compressors (basically the main component that cools fridges) with the goals of better energy efficiency and theoretical claimed reliability. The reality is the design was flawed and peoples' new fridges starting conking out across the board. Last year LG lost (settled) a class action lawsuit for a bunch of the early flawed linear compressor fridges from 2014-2017. Now there's a new federal lawsuit against LG for yet more early compressor failures, so definitely hang onto your receipt and warranty information. At least LG makes nice OLED TVs though!

Just entered the ranks of home ownership. How many of you shut off the water to your home when you are traveling? My water line has a ball valve on it so it would be pretty easy to shut if off and then set the water heater to vacation mode but I'm not sure if there are any downsides to doing that as a regular practice.

Just be sure to check and make sure the valve works properly during business hours in the middle of the week. Basically, never touch anything plumbing related when a plumber would charge overtime rates.

I shut off the lines to my washing machine only. I figure most of the plumbing is a low risk, although if I was leaving for a long time and didn't have someone coming by I would absolutely shut off the main line.

Dunno if this helps anyone but with 2 contractors now I've just asked if they'll let me pay it out over 2 months w/o doing any financing poo poo and they've agreed. HVAC company just agreed to do that for furnace/ac install. And some remodeling work at old house the company was ok with doing that too.

We turn off the water even if we're just gone for the weekend, haven't had any problems yet. It actually helped us find an under-slab leak... there would always be a surprising amount of water flow whenever we turned it back on. I've never bothered with vacation mode on the water heater, modern ones are so well insulated it's really not a huge draw when you aren't using it.
