💡 Miele Salt — Portland's Most Common Premium Misdiagnosis

Miele dishwashers have a built-in ion exchange water softener requiring periodic salt replenishment. In hard-water markets, depleted salt is obvious. In Portland, Miele owners often never refill the salt because Portland water is already soft — but the softener's resin still degrades without salt, eventually producing white film and poor cleaning. We check Miele salt level as the first diagnostic step on every Portland Miele cleaning-performance call.

Bosch Condensation Drying in Portland's Wet Season

Bosch uses condensation drying — hot wash water heats the stainless tub, moisture condenses on the cooler walls and drains. In Portland's wet-season ambient humidity, dishes emerge slightly damp because the air entering the tub during drying is already 70–75% humid. This is expected behavior in Portland, not a fault. We explain this to every Portland Bosch owner who calls about wet dishes in winter before scheduling a service visit.
