I don't know. The machine, being a front-loader does not need much wter and soap to clean. The cleaning action, I think, is done by the laundry being smacked against the tub mostly. |

I have once increased the water level of an AEG dishwasher, because it sucked in air while washing, making a hell of a noise. The preassure swich had 2 screws, one for the water volume and the other one for "sensivity" ( to determine the amount of water that needs to be absorbed by the dishes to activate a possible second fill). That was the tricky part. Wasn`t an easy job because I had no idea which way to turn the srews, just went the try and error routine. If you mark the start position and make notes of every turn, there shouldn`t go too much wrong. |

Based on the instructions given from that link in my original post I am going to try it. I'll report back with results. |

Guys... Try doing a maintenance wash Longest and hottest cycle with a cup of bleach directly into the drawer as the machine is filling. ...additionally, you may not need to use as much detergent or conditioner. Try reducing the detergent by at least 1/4 to 1/3 and the conditioner by 2/3....watering it down so it disperses. or, try a reduced detergent and 1/4 cup of cheap white vinegar instead of conditioner. It really does work...it will also help prevent any smell in the machine and is worth trying. |
