A question to BSH dryer enthusiasts, especially to henene4 since he's really knowledgeable |

I did a comparison between the new and "old" models some time ago. I seem to recall that there are some differences like the fan, for example. Not totally sure right now.
I doubt BSH would make such a feature available via a free software update, even if there's no new "hardware" needed. Miele offered an upgrade to, I think, 1800 rpm on select washers for a while. Essentially a technician came to your house, simply changed the max spin speed in the software... and charged you for it. Bu who knows. Maybe. Another YouTuber had his dishwasher updated and had two more cycles on it - accessible via the app. My dryer got an update, although I have no idea what it was supposed to change. They could have added the two self-cleaning "care" cycle, for example. Would have made sense, I think. |

The hardware on it is different yes. The base itself, the plastic chassis, is the same across the board. |

I just recently had my 13-year-old Miele T8929WP dryer serviced as the cooling fan for the refrigerant failed behind the grill on the right-hand side vent.
This caused the compressor to overheat and cut out, therefore not being able to dry the laundry effectively. The tech came and replaced it. It took two hours to do. I will keep this dryer running as long as possible because it has true reverse tumbling. These series were called TwinPower as they had one motor for the fan and one motor to drive the drum. This allows you to dry with the drum stationary like in the basket program, or pause the tumbling periodically when the gentle tumble option is selected. Never a problem with balling of bedlinen. |

My dryer is a WTW7540 from December 2019. I don't mind not having the cleaning cycle, as I can run it manually under the P:03 setting with as many flushes and soaks as I like - although I'm trying to keep the dryer super clean anyway.
What I find interesting is that my energy label states that the dryer takes 148 minutes for a full load. Dryers with the same values (capacity and efficiency) but different filtration systems seems to take longer? A current EasyClean dryer takes 165 minutes, while an AutoClean one takes 195 minutes. Does the filtration make the difference? |
