Alec also mentions this briefly in the linked video; if manufacturers could avoid the cost of a latching mechanism, they absolutely would. Its presence means a pre-wash cycle exists.
- badc0ffee 11mo agoThe default program on my Miele pops the door open like 2 minutes into the cycle. Maybe the slower ones don't?
- ryukoposting 11mo agoMy GE seems to skip the prewash cycle on the default setting for whatever reason. It does use a prewash on its "heavy duty" cycle though. Incidentally "heavy duty" also works infinitely better, with no more damage done to my dishes. YMMV of course.
- rb666 11mo agoThat sounds like the behavior of the Eco program, which is often the default.
