Doxycycline (Doryx)
What Is Doxycycline?By Mary Elizabeth Dallas
Medically Reviewed by Niya Jones, MD, MPH
Doxycycline is an antibiotic for treating bacterial infections. The drug is in a class of medications called tetracyclines.
Doxycycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, which means it works against a wide range of bacteria. Doctors often prescribe broad-spectrum antibiotics such as doxycycline until lab tests confirm the particular sensitivity of a germ, and then they can prescribe a more specific drug.
Doctors prescribe doxycycline to prevent malaria and treat a wide range of infections, including:
- Pneumonia and other respiratory tract infections
- Lyme disease
- Acne
- Skin infections
- Infections involving the genitals and urinary system
- Anthrax (after inhalational exposure)
Doxycycline works by preventing the growth and spread of bacteria. Like all antibiotics, doxycycline will not help treat colds, the flu, or other infections caused by viruses or fungi.
A 2014 study published in the journal Cornea provides more evidence that tetracyclines such as doxycycline may also have an anti-inflammatory effect. The research found that a low dose of 40 milligrams (mg) of slow-release doxycycline daily could be an effective and safe therapy for ocular rosacea, or rosacea that affects the eyes. The condition causes a number of symptoms, including blurry vision as well as red, dry, burning, or itchy eyes that are sensitive to light.
The drug company Pfizer developed doxycycline in the early 1960s, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the drug in 1967 under the brand name Vibramycin. However, it wasn't until 1994 that the FDA also approved the drug to prevent malaria.
Today, several drug companies make several brand-name drugs containing doxycycline, including Doryx, Monodox, Oracea, and Periostat.

What Are the Key Things I Need to Know About Doxycycline?
There are several important warnings you should know about before taking doxycycline.
You should take this medication only to treat bacterial infections, and it's important to take it exactly as your doctor prescribes. Using doxycycline or other antibiotics incorrectly or using them to treat infections caused by other types of germs, such as viruses, contributes to the development of drug-resistant bacteria.
Every time you take an antibiotic, it kills the sensitive bacteria. Resistant germs, however, can grow and multiply, and then surviving bacteria can become resistant. That's because the bacteria can change or adapt in ways that make antibiotics less effective or not effective at all.
It's also important to understand that taking antibiotics, including doxycycline, alters the normal balance of bacteria in your body. In addition to killing harmful bacteria, the medication can also reduce the amount of good bacteria that help keep other germs in check. As a result, some people taking doxycycline develop yeast infections and antibiotic-related diarrhea.
Taking doxycycline could make oral birth control pills less effective. If you are on oral contraceptives, you should use other forms of birth control while you take this antibiotic.
Read the complete FDA warning on doxycycline here.
Is There Anything Special I Should Discuss With My Doctor Before Taking Doxycycline?
Doxycycline may cause side effects and could also interfere with many medications. If you have certain medical conditions, you need to take doxycycline with caution. Always tell your doctor if you have allergies to any medications, especially tetracycline antibiotics, and discuss all the risks and benefits of doxycycline with your doctor.
Before taking doxycycline, let your doctor know if you're going to have any kind of surgery, including dental surgery.
Your doctor also needs to know if you've ever had liver or kidney disease. Also tell your doctor if you have diabetes. Taking doxycycline can interfere with tests for sugar in the urine. Talk with your doctor before changing your diet or your diabetes treatment plan.
Pregnant women should not take doxycycline because the drug can be harmful to an unborn baby. Tetracyclines, including doxycycline, also pass into breast milk, so women who are nursing should not take this drug. If you're a woman, let your doctor know if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding.
It's also important to note that unborn babies exposed to doxycycline or children younger than 8 years old who take the drug may have permanently stained teeth. Children younger than 8 should not take doxycycline except as treatment for inhalational anthrax or if a doctor decides it's necessary.

Do Other Drugs Affect the Way Doxycycline Works?
Certain drugs may affect the way doxycycline works. This antibiotic could also interact with other medications. It's very important to let your doctor know about everything you're taking, including street drugs as well as any over-the-counter medications, herbs, or supplements.
Types of drugs that interact with doxycycline include:
- Antacids
- Calcium supplements
- Iron supplements and laxatives that contain magnesium
- Penicillin
- Blood thinners, such as warfarin (Coumadin)
- Barbiturates and anti-seizure drugs, such as carbamazepine (Tegretol) and phenytoin (Dilantin)
- Oral birth control pills
Should I Avoid Any Food, Drink, or Activity While Taking Doxycycline?
Doxycycline could upset your stomach. Taking the drug with milk or food could help, but that may reduce the amount of medication your body can absorb from your stomach. If you experience an upset stomach while taking doxycycline, talk with your doctor about the best way to take this drug.
Taking doxycycline could also make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. While you are on the medication, be sure to avoid sun exposure whenever possible. If you do need to be outside, take precautions to protect your skin from the sun, such as:
- Wearing protective clothing,
- Wearing sunglasses
- Applying sunscreen
If you're taking doxycycline to prevent malaria, it's important to understand that the drug does not fully protect you from this infection. While you are on the drug, you must still take additional preventative measures, including:
- Applying effective insect repellent
- Using mosquito nets
- Wearing clothing that covers your whole body

Doxycycline Dosage
In This Section:
- What Is a Typical Dose of Doxycycline?
- What Happens If I Take Too Much Doxycycline and Overdose?
- What Happens If I Miss a Dose of Doxycycline or Don't Take It as Prescribed?
What Is a Typical Dose of Doxycycline?
Doxycycline comes in tablet, capsule, or liquid form. A doctor also can inject it under your skin.
Tablets come in varying strengths including 50, 75, 100, and 150 mg. Don't crush or break a delayed-release capsule. If you're taking an oral form of the drug, drink a full glass of water with each dose.
For adults, the normal dose of oral doxycycline is 200 mg on the first day of treatment. Usually you take that as two 100-mg doses, 12 hours apart. After this initial dose, people usually take a maintenance dose of 100 mg daily for seven to 10 days.
For more severe infections, such as chronic infections of the urinary tract, the recommended dose is 100 mg every 12 hours. In some cases, people may need to take higher doses, 300 mg a day for 10 days.
For inhalational anthrax, the usual adult prescription is 100 mg of doxycycline twice a day for 60 days.
For the prevention of malaria, you should start taking doxycycline up to two days before traveling. Continue taking the drug for four weeks after you leave an area where malaria is a risk. Do not take doxycycline to prevent malaria for more than four months.
The correct dosage for children older than 8 will depend on the child's weight. Continue to take doxycycline until your course of treatment is finished, even if you feel good. Don't stop taking the medication unless directed by your doctor.
What Happens If I Take Too Much Doxycycline and Overdose?
Don't take more doxycycline than your doctor prescribed. Taking too much of the medication can increase your risk for developing side effects.
If you or someone else has symptoms of an overdose, call a poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If someone collapses or isn't breathing, call 911.
What Happens If I Miss a Dose of Doxycycline or Don't Take It as Prescribed?
Be sure to take doxycycline exactly as your doctor prescribed. Skipping doses or not completing the full course of therapy could make the drug less effective. It could also lead to the development of drug-resistant bacteria that will not respond to antibiotics in the future.
If you forget to take a dose of doxycycline, take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. If it's almost time for your next regular dose, however, skip the missed one. Don't take twice as much doxycycline at one time to make up for a missed dose.

- I take doxycycline for MRSA. It says to take it on empty stomach, but I either end up losing it by vomiting or diarrhea. Is there something else for this?
- Can doxycycline cause nausea?
- Is doxycycline different than Malarone?
I have rosacea and have been taking doxycycline (40 mg). Is it OK to take this all the time?A: According to the prescribing information, doxycycline (Oracea) is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for safe and effective treatment of only the inflammatory lesions of rosacea in adults. It is approved as a 40-milligram dose of doxycycline taken once daily in the morning on an empty stomach, one hour before or two hours after a meal and with a full glass of water. According to the same literature, Oracea was not proven effective beyond 16 weeks and not proven safe beyond 9 months. You may want to contact your health care provider for guidance on duration of therapy that best meets your needs. For more information regarding Oracea, you may want to visit our Web site: http://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/oracea Beth Isaac, PharmD Back to Top
I have a recurrent sinus infection and have been prescrived doxycycline for 30 days. Does it take that long for the antibiotic to work?A: When an antibiotic is started for an infection an improvement is usually seen within a few days. It is important to take your full course of prescribed antibiotic even if you are feeling better. It will take the full course for the antibiotic to fully kill off the bacteria. If an antibiotic is only taken for a few of the prescribed days, the bacteria may mutate themselves to become resistant to that antibiotic. If enough antibiotics are taken this way, a strain of bacteria could develop that is resistant to all available antibiotics and could not be treated. That is why it is so important to take your antibiotic until it is all gone, unless otherwise directed by your health care provider. Laura Cable, PharmD, BCPS Back to Top
I take Periostat 20 mg. When is the best time to take it in terms of food intake?A: Doxycycline is a tetracycline antibiotic that fights bacteria in the body. It is used to treat many different bacterial infections, such as urinary tract infections, acne, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, periodontitis (gum disease), and others. Doxycycline can also be used to treat the blemishes, bumps, and acne-like lesions caused by rosacea. However, it will not help the facial redness caused by rosacea. The Periostat brand of doxycycline should be taken on an empty stomach. This means either one hour before a meal or two hours after a meal. Make sure to take Periostat with a full 8 oz. glass of water to wash down all of the drug. This will help reduce the risk of esophageal irritation and ulceration. Common side effects of Periostat include mild nausea, stomach upset, vomiting, and diarrhea. This is not a complete list of side effects that can occur with Periostat. Consult your doctor or health care provider if you experience side effects that become severe or bothersome. For more specific information, consult with your doctor or pharmacist for guidance based on your health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action. Sarah Lewis, PharmD Back to Top
What is the most common use of doxycycline mono 100 mg?A: Doxycycline can be used for a number of different infections as follows: acne, anthrax, gum diseases, and rosacea, as well as bacterial infections such as chlamydia, typhus, tick bites, pneumonia, syphilis, gonorrhea, Lyme disease, plaque, malaria, and some urinary tract infections. It may also be used in people who have an allergy to penicllin. For more information, you can go to http://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/doxycycline. Gerald R. Levy, RPh Back to Top
Can I use doxycycline hyclate for a tooth infection?A: Doryx (doxycycline hyclate) is a tetracycline-type antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections (e.g., Rickettsial infections, sexually transmitted infections, respiratory tract infections, ophthalmic infections, Anthrax, adjunctive therapy in acute intestinal amebiasis and severe acne, and prophylaxis of malaria). The most common side effects reported with tetracyclines include anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, photosensitivity, urticaria, and hemolytic anemia. Antibiotic selection in bacterial infections depends on identification of the causative organism (bacteria), determination of antibiotic sensitivity, patient allergies and antibiotic safety profile. Please consult with a healthcare provider (i.e., dentist) for a detailed examination, diagnosis, and specific recommendations. Shereen A. Gharbia, PharmD Back to Top
I was positive for Lyme disease. I took doxycycline and most of the symptoms have cleared up. Is there another test that is done to see if the disease is gone or do they do the same blood test that diagnosed it?A: Lyme disease is an infection that is transmitted to humans through a tick bite. Ticks become infected by feeding on an infected animal. Some of the common symptoms of Lyme disease are rash, fever, headache, muscle pain, fatigue, or joint pain. The most common symptom is a rash that occurs about 1 to 2 weeks after a tick bite, but may occur up to 36 days post-bite. Doxycycline is one of the most frequently used antibiotics for the treatment of Lyme disease. Usually, a follow-up appointment should take place about 1 to 2 weeks after symptoms resolve. Further testing is not usually performed because a positive test result can appear for years after the initial infection. It is recommended that you follow-up with your healthcare provider to ensure that the course of antibiotic therapy was effective. For more specific information, consult with your doctor or pharmacist for guidance based on your health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action. Megan Uehara, PharmD Back to Top
I take doxycycline for MRSA. It says to take it on empty stomach, but I either end up losing it by vomiting or diarrhea. Is there something else for this?A: Vibramycin (doxycycline) is an antibiotic that is used to treat a variety of conditions. Doxycycline should be taken with lots of non-dairy fluids to help prevent stomach irritation and ulceration. Ideally, doxycycline should be taken on an empty stomach for maximum effectiveness. However, if stomach upset or irritation occurs, doxycycline can be taken with a small low-fat, low-protein, non-dairy meal or snack. Taking doxycycline with food may decrease the absorption of the medication, thereby reducing the effectiveness. MRSA is a type of Staphylococcus bacteria that is resistant to many antibiotics. Therefore, there are only a limited number of medications that can be used to treat MRSA. There are other options besides doxycycline to treat MRSA. Some of the other antibiotics that are used to treat MRSA are Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim), Minocin (minocycline), and Cleocin (clindamycin). Keep in mind that all antibiotics can produce stomach upset and diarrhea as a side effect. It is recommended that you speak with your doctor regarding the side effects that you have been experiencing with the doxycycline. They will be able to weigh the risks and benefits of the medication and determine if your medication regimen should be changed. For more specific information, consult with your doctor or pharmacist for guidance based on your health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action. Megan Uehara, PharmD Back to Top
Can doxycycline cause nausea?A: Doxycycline is a medication that is used to treat various infections such as lyme disease, urinary tract infections, and pneumonia. Doxycycline is in the class of antibiotics called tetracyclines that work by inhibiting the growth of bacteria giving the immune system a chance at eliminating the infection. The prescribing information on doxycycline lists the following as common side effects of the medication: nausea diarrhea indigestion or heartburn vomiting sensitivity to the sun loss of appetite Some rare side effects of doxycycline include: irritation of the esophagus, tongue swelling, vision changes and yeast infection. If you are experiencing a side effect of any medication that feels "not quite right", it is always a good idea to consult with your physician. Lori Poulin, PharmD Back to Top
Is doxycycline different than Malarone?A: Doxycycline is a tetracycline-type antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections (e.g., Rickettsial infections, sexually transmitted infections, respiratory tract infections, ophthalmic infections, Anthrax, adjunctive therapy in acute intestinal amebiasis and severe acne, and prophylaxis of malaria). The most common side effects reported with tetracyclines include anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, photosensitivity, urticaria, and hemolytic anemia. Malarone is a combination of atovaquone and proguanil. These medications are used to treat and prevent malaria. Malaria is caused by parasites and these drugs work to inhibit the growth to the parasites in the human body. Malarone is associated with headache, cough, abdominal pain, and vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, weakness and dizziness. Doxycycline should be taken with plenty of fluids to minimize stomach irritation. Doxycycline should not be taken with dairy products or high-fat foods. Malarone should be taken with food to minimize stomach upset. Michelle McDermott, RPh, PharmD Back to Top

American Beauty At-A-Glance
Strengths: Many state-of-the-art moisturizers, though they're not without their issues; Lauder's formulary expertise in the moisturizer category at a lower price point than most other Lauder-owned lines; good foundations without sunscreen; good powders; excellent powder blush; several lip-enhancing options, including a remarkable long-wearing lip paint.
Weaknesses: Problematic toners, lackluster scrub, sunscreens whose UVA-protecting ingredients are present but at questionable amounts. No skin-lightening, AHA, BHA, or effective anti-acne products; foundations and lipsticks with sunscreen that lacks sufficient UVA protection; poor concealer.
American Beauty Skin Care aspires to resemble a blend between the Estee Lauder and Clinique makeup and skin-care lines, and-sort of-succeeds. Just one look at the packaging, brochures, and ads and you'll know what we mean. Yet a mix of poor packaging and relatively lackluster formulations doesn't instill much confidence. From all appearances, Lauder was trying to create the concept of department-store quality with mass-market pricing. The number of products in jar packaging is just out of touch with reality, especially when you consider the well-established facts surrounding ingredient instability when formulations are exposed to air or light. These formulas won't deliver for very long in containers that aren't airtight. Yes, the jar packaging does have a Lauderesque look, but that won't keep the antioxidants stable, or the plant extracts or cell-communicating ingredients around for very long after opening, and that's what counts for your skin.
Several different moisturizers, each with varying claims (anti-aging, antiwrinkle, hydrating), are available, but beyond the different names the basic configuration of the specialty ingredients is almost the same from product to product, with only minor variations. Essentially, regardless of the claim and the product, you are applying the same ingredients to your skin.
Then there's this good question: Why do the American Beauty skin-care products contain fragrance and coloring agents, while the Good Skin products don't? (Good Skin is also part of the Lauder family, reviewed elsewhere in this book.) Lauder can't seem to make up its corporate mind about this, because among their different product lines they continually vacillate on this issue. Just to set the record straight, coloring agents and fragrance have no benefit or purpose for skin care, and they can be detrimental by causing skin irritation or sensitization. If they aren't good for the Good Skin products, they shouldn't be good for American Beauty products either.
Speaking of fragrance, one quirky characteristic of this line is that many of the skincare products contain Rosa American Beauty extract, from the American Beauty rose. Clever identification aside, this fragrant additive imparts no benefit for skin. All in all, we suggest you pass by these products and walk a counter over to the Good Skin section, where there are far better options and the prices are noticeably lower.

Wild Card Weekend: Cincinnati Bengals At Houston Texans
Special Teams
It's a good thing the Cardinals have their playoff berth locked up, because the offense has lost its drive after losing quarterbacks Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton to injuries.
The Raiders have certainly shown some life in the second half of the season, and while it most likely won't be enough to help Tony Sparano shed the interim label and become the full-time head coach, he does deserve credit for not letting this team give up.
The Rams offense functioned at a much higher level in their Week 16 loss to the Giants with Shaun Hill at quarterback, and he is coming off a confidence-boosting 24-of-32 game for 290 yards with 2 TDs and 1 interception.

Enjoy the videos but I have to say I hate those clips. They show humanity and surfers at their worst. I have never had a fight that I came away feeling good about, and I had a lot of fights. I had a hair trigger temper as a kid and kicked some ass but everytime I looked back I felt regret for what I did. When I watch those videos I feel the same as I would watching a dog fight. It's obscene, like watching a private moment not meant for my eyes. Sometimes we all have to fight but Ive never experienced it as fun and don't want to see it. No go enjoy the videos, lol.

How was it for you?
In any relationship, it's good to talk isn't it? In fact, none of us would ever get into any relationship of any sort if we didn't. At the start, we talk a lot. Hopefully we listen too. We are keen to please – to look for confirmation that the other party wants this relationship to progress.
But what happens once we've established it? I emailed my husband of 21 years to ask him. Only joking! I left him a note.
But seriously, we often ask our clients how they get feedback from their clients. Now of course, many are very sophisticated at doing this. However many admit that it's much more ad-hoc. "The client partner chats to them", or "we send out a questionnaire once a year".
The opposite extreme of this is those irritating emails we all get asking for our feedback on each and every interaction we have with some call centre or other. There has to be a sensible middle ground.
The best option is personal contact with clients, before, during and at the end of individual projects, and more importantly, even when there isn't a project. At its most simple, the questions should be:
"What did we do well?"
"What do we need to get better at?"
"What's happening in your world?"
We want to do more of the first, and address the second. Sometimes it's the little irritants that can drive clients away. We need to make it easy for them to give us feedback.
Secondly, we really can't wait a year for this. We live in an age of almost instant feedback in many areas – Facebook, Twitter, TV voting, computer games etc. Also, customer expectations are far more sophisticated now, and however we do it, we need to offer our clients the chance to talk to us. If we don't, someone else may court them and a new honeymoon will begin. What can you do to rekindle the love in your client relationships?
How having a consistent BD language and process leads to success
It can be challenging creating a consistent business development "language" and process throughout a firm. This can be for all sorts of reasons: existing culture is not BD focused or is, but only in pockets; mergers which mean you are integrating two or more different approaches to BD; professionals who prefer to work on their own, or teams who work in a silo apart from others; professionals who just get on with BD and don't ask for much support. For firms that do achieve consistency, however, the benefits are very clear. read more
Make more 'mistakes' in business development
If you've not made any 'mistakes' in business development, you're not doing enough of it. I put 'mistakes' in quotations, because really, there aren't too many awful things you can do.
I've had to learn how to do business development on top of my technical expertise, and like many professionals I've spoken to, I initially found it vague and frustrating. An accountant friend of mine summed it up by noting that she likes a right answer to anything she's working on. Well, there aren't really right answers in sales and marketing – more like a focused intention. Within that, there are some best practice guidelines, but no absolutes. If you wait for absolutes, you'll fall into the only real mistake – doing nothing. Most of us are going to have to bring in business as part of our careers if we want to reach more senior levels. If you start building it into your daily, weekly and monthly efforts, it will become much easier.
As for 'mistakes', I've probably made them all, but strangely, these mistakes often lead to clients. I've sent emails to the wrong person, forgotten who I'm calling between dialling a number and the call being answered, mentioned competitors name instead of the client's, sent duplicate articles, been late for a meeting and failed to recognise someone at a networking event I'd met two days before. Basically, I'm human. In every case, I have apologised, rectified my mistake if I could and quite often, actually deepened the relationship by being vulnerable and having a bit of a laugh. I don't think I've landed a client without having some hiccup along the way.
Remember our clients and potential clients are first and foremost human beings. They will have their own pressures, insecurities, ambitions and frailties. If you want to work with them in the future, you have to make yourself known to them somehow, then prove to them that you are someone they could work with.
Commercial Qualification – Understanding How to Win
If ever there was a set of questions that professionals fail to ask it is the 'Commercial' questions. How do we know this? On hundreds of seminars professionals tell us this is so. These same people also give us anecdote after anecdote detailing the opportunities and clients they failed to win by failing to explore these issues.
There are five commercial areas to explore. They are:
1 The Basis of Decision (BOD)
2 The Money or Budgetary Issues.
3 The Competitive Situation
4 The Timescales
5 The Decision Making Process (DMP)
Why do people avoid these issues? The most common reason we have been given is that people feel awkward in raising these questions. There is a fear that raising these questions could be seen as being "unprofessional" or pushy. read more
Mergers – getting the business development bit right
As many of you have been experiencing over the last year or two, there are a lot of mergers going on! In the legal field especially, but also in other professional services and in the wider business world. Whatever the strategic reasons for them, there are some immediate things which the marketing and BD teams can help with. I am not, here, going to include the 'people' side of things. This is not to underestimate it; there are all sorts of challenges here to resolve. It is a big topic though, so my thoughts here will concentrate on some of the operational and strategic priorities, on a few of which the success and benefits of a merger can depend. From my experience of three mergers: read more
"You make a presentation every time you open your mouth."
I remember hearing this years ago on a training course, and it stuck with me as a truism. Now that I'm involved in business development, it strikes me as being even more relevant.
Last night I went to a networking event which happened to be debating the case for Scottish independence, and I took my 17 year old daughter along. Of course the content of the debate was interesting, but really I wanted her to start to experience how business people communicate. read more
Getting into the right mindset
"Doing business without doing marketing and sales is like winking at someone in the dark. You know you're doing it, but no-one else does."
It can be frustrating, can't it, to find you've spent years studying for professional qualifications, then providing expert advice, only to be told that now you need to do sales.
We have asked lots of professionals over the years what they think of selling. There are some who love it but in the main they find it, at best, intimidating or, at worst, rather grubby and beneath them. This is often because selling is associated with lack of substance, manipulation or the need to be an outgoing, 'patter merchant'. However, selling need never be like that in the professional services world. In fact, behaving like what we might regard as a 'typical' salesperson is likely to be counter-productive in a world where we typically want to build trust-based, long-term relationships with our clients. Our experience at PACE tells us that building business is less about 'selling' to others and more about motivating others to buy. read more

Internal affairs – the problems (and solutions) of cross-selling
I recently conducted some research amongst some clients and contacts regarding the barriers they faced around cross-selling. My research uncovered these firms faced three main challenges: mutual trust (or lack of) in their colleagues' capabilities, the feeling of losing control and the client's image of the firm. But what can you do to overcome these barriers? read more
That's Too Expensive
From our research here at PACE and by talking with professionals all over the world, we know that fees/margin/profit (which all mean money) is being left on the table in almost all work instructions agreed between provider and client.
It's true that when business conditions worsen the tendency to crumble increases when price is challenged and to some extent the opposite is also true. read more

How Does Conjugate Heat Transfer Work?
Phil Kinnane | June 25, 2012
COMSOL News contains two application briefs from our colleagues at AltaSim Technologies. The first has already been mentioned in this blog and interested many of the readers of this blog. This second story concerns Conjugate Heat Transfer.
COMSOL has long collaborated with AltaSim and their latest four-day COMSOL Multiphysics Advanced Courses were both sell-outs. As our certified consultants, we have seen them work with a large range of different projects involving multiphysics modeling.
Here, they provide a description of the concept of Conjugate Heat Transfer, which shows up in many industrial processes, in particular quenching. This application brief, describes the simulation of conjugate heat transfer, with and without phase transformation, and then applies it to a 3D quenching model. The object is to produce a more regular distribution of heat extraction that leads to a more homogenous micro-structure, reducing residual stresses.
I highly recommend reading this brief from COMSOL News to find out more about Conjugate Heat Transfer.

Do Not Purchase any Electrolux appliances - Nor the Extended Warranties via Lowes
Posted by
3580 PEACHTREE PARKWAY, GEORGIA -- April 8, 2011
DOUBLE OVEN: A little over a year ago, we purchased a new top of the line stainless steel Electrolux double oven from Lowes and the control panel has been replaced 4 times within the first year of ownership. The good news is that it finally works correctly.
WARNING: The extended warranty through Lowes is a JOKE!!!
DISHWASHER: The Electrolux dishwasher is a different story. We purchased the top of the line stainless steel Electrolux dishwasher for around $1,399 from Lowes at the same time we purchased our double oven and we have had countless repairs within the first year or so and it does not work correctly!
ARE YOU READY FOR THIS: 4 new control panels, multiple water pumps and water heaters...9 service calls with more to come!!! The dishwasher worked great for a few months and now it does not rinse, dry, wash or drain correctly. You know the things a dishwasher is supposed to do!!!
WARNING: The extended warranty through Lowes is a JOKE!!!
How many times does a dishwasher have to be repaired before is can be completely replaced? Who knows???
The warranty company representatives read from a scrip when you call and don't seem to "listen" when you tell them that repairmen never stay to see if the dishwasher actually works through a complete cycle...rather once a new part or parts are installed they deem the dishwasher repaired...the repairman then notes on their service records that the dishwasher is repaired and then they go to the next service call.
WARNING: The extended warranty through Lowes is a JOKE!!!
NOTE: Most repairmen are on commission so they have a financial incentive to keep coming back and replacing parts until the "cows come home" or "hell freezes over", so they will never "deem" your dishwasher as unrepairable. Is that such a word..."unrepairable"? Anyway, apparently the term unrepairable is important to the warranty company that Lowes uses for their extended warranties, since they require your dishwasher to be deemed "unrepairable" before you will live to see a new one.
WARNING: The extended warranty through Lowes is a JOKE!!!
SAME PROBLEM?: The warranty company does not seem to understand that we are having the "SAME" problem each time a repairman comes out to repair our dishwasher, and that the repair is "TRYING" to repair the same problem by replacing specific parts.
WARNING: The extended warrantary through Lowes is a JOKE!!!
IMPORTANT NOTE: The warranty company that Lowes uses for extended warranties seems to think that each "separate" repair means that a "separate" problem has been corrected; thus, the clause of needing 4 REPAIRS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, never seems to add up in their world.
WARNING: The extended warranty through Lowes is a JOKE!!!
Yes, I do realize I placed the phrase "WARNING: The extended warranty through Lowes is a JOKE!!" a number of times throughout my comments, but I do want consumers to know what they are really up against if they get a lemon Electrolux appliance and are hoping that the extended warranty offered through Lowes will actually work.
QUESTION?: I will live to see a top of the line, Electrolux dishwasher in my home that works correctly? I don't think so???
UPDATE - April 8, 2011: The following email response is what I just received from Electrolux concerning my problem with the dishwasher I purchased from them...DOES this sound like a solution to you?
Enjoy the Electrolux NON-response:

That's exactly what happened to my mother with the control panel on the double oven. The replacements never worked. Their products are not reliable. It's a shame that you have to go through all this.
HonestForSure on 04/08/2011:
Sadly, the repairs in year 1 are the responsibility of Electrolux. Your extended warranty begins Year 2. Any repairs in year 1 do not count towards anything in years 2-5. You paid for an "extended" service plan = years 2-5.
Hope you have better luck going forward.

"How many times does a dishwasher have to be repaired before is can be completely replaced? Who knows???"
Read the lemon law clause in the warranty. Then you'll know.

Terrible customer service. Will not buy again
Posted by
I recently purchased an Electrolux dishwasher from Lowe's on Thursday March 16,2014. It had been on display in their cabinet section and discounted accordingly. When I got the unit home and went to install it I found the discharge hose that connects to the garbage disposer was not in the unit. I also found the mounting brackets were missing. I called Electrolux customer service and explained the issue. A gentleman named Jerry took our call. We told him we needed the parts right away as we had kitchen installers at our home. We asked for the parts to be shipped overnight so we could finish installation on Friday. He said it could not be done - company policy states that missing parts would be shipped only in 3 - 7 days. If we paid for the parts and overnight shipping we would have them Saturday. This was originally a $1500 dishwasher and we felt we were being treated poorly. We were on the phone for about an hour and I requested to speak to a supervisor and was told none were available and to call back tomorrow. Totally frustrated, we paid for the parts and next day shipping via credit card. No parts arrived Friday, no parts arrived Saturday, and no parts arrived Sunday. We finally received the parts on Monday. Much to our frustration, the hose was wrong. Jerry had shipped the hose that was attached to the dishwasher, not the hose that attaches to the garbage disposal. So, on the phone again with Electrolux. The next customer service person could not identify the hose I needed and said she would have to speak to engineering. She called back later in the day to state they identified the hose, she would credit me for all the missing parts and overnight shipping. She said she needed to transfer me to another department which would handle shipping me the correct parts. Upon transferring the call, the connection dropped. 2 hours of effort lost. I called back in and spoke to another customer service agent who was not helpful, could not find any notes after I explained to yet another person at the company what had happened. He states that because it was a floor model I would have to pay again for the parts. AT THIS POINT I LOST IT;4 plus hours on the phone with Electrolux and I was back at the starting point I experienced Thursday. Is this the service they provide to customers buying their products?? We are in the process of selecting another dishwasher, 2 wall ovens, a stove, and refrigerator for our new kitchen. We are also selecting appliances for our in-lawsuit and a rental home. Needless to say, given our experience, the new appliances will not be Electrolux. Adding pain to this experience, no invoice was provided with the parts shipment!! Does anyone at Electrolux care???? When you buy high-end products you expect good customer service.

Dishwasher replaced after 18 months
Posted by
NORTH BEND, WASHINGTON -- This dishwasher was a top end model with a Lowes list price of $1,299 less a 10% rebate. The dishwasher that was delivered lacked the fine filtrations system that was on the store model and shown in the owner's manual. After several parts shipments that did not fix the problem, Lowes gave us a $350 credit rather than take the unit back.
Nine (9) months after installation the door mechanism failed. The dishwasher did not clean dishes properly even after using a dishwasher cleaner - something we have never used before with over 30 years of using Jennair, Kitchen-Aid and Bosch dishwashers. The water tube on the top rack kept falling off and it had to be checked on every load. The tube had a weak connection to the top rack.
The repairman found a nylon pulley in the door system had been chewed up by the cables used to hold the door open. He suggested changing detergents to solve the cleaning problem.
The cleaning ability continued to degrade and the seal around the door began to slide to the right and fall apart. Replacing the seal only solved the problem for a few months. The leaking seal allowed steam to escape and ruin the finish on our cabinets.
After reading about extended warranty and customer service problems we decided not to buy an extended warranty for approx $300 from Electrolux and instead bought a new dishwasher from Miele.
The Miele is not as quiet as the Electrolux and the racks are not as heavy duty looking, but it is clearly better made than the Electrolux. The ergonomics of the rack system are superior.
The Electrolux model had hidden controls as is the current fashion. There was no way to stop the cycle without opening the door which usually led to water spitting or dripping out. I recommend semi-hidden or visible controls for this reason.

Well thank GOD for this website after researching Electrolux appliances for a long time I decided not to even waste my money on them. THANX TO ALL YOU PEOPLE who write honest reviews and save people like me the headache of dealing with their crappy customer service and junkie appliances.
I am from Ontario, Canada and we bought a new home, so to go with the new home we thought of going with top of the line appliances and we were ready to spend big bucks on Electrolux, I mean the fridge alone is $4600 it's a side by side french door with a freezer drawer on the bottom and has a ice maker as well, looks really great and has all the bells and whistles on it too. We also thought of buying the Induction slide in range and, their professional built in dishwasher as well as a over the ranger microwave. Well turns out my sister in-law loved the same appliances and since they renovated their kitchen they wen ahead and splurged on the top of the line Electrolux appliances they bought it all!!!. I feel bad for them now after a few months of use their dishwasher is leaking and is showing an error message, their fridge is making weird noises and the ice dispenser is broken, their stove sounds like it might explode any minute and the microwave is a fire hazard since every time they use it it has sparks. My sister in law is so frustrated and fed up with heir customer service that she honestly is at the end of her rope, she would never ever buy another Electrolux product and boy she tells everyone about it. I feel terrible for her but thank god I learned my lesson, not everything that looks great will actually work great.
So after seeing all these reviews and the problems everyone has with the Electrolux appliances we opted for a BOSCH dishwasher which is fabulous and we bought and LG fridge, stove and microwave and so far so good, as a matter of fact we have been so impressed with the LG appliances we are replacing our old washer and dryer with a LG pair:).

Wow. I purchased the Frigidaire Professional Series appliances (fridge, range, micro and dishwasher) approx four years ago and I love them. All products work great. No issues with any of them. I guess they're like cars, some are lemons and some are not.

Do NOT Buy ANY ELECTROLUX
Posted by
OKLAHOMA -- We did a kitchen addition/remodel and purchased an Electrolux single wall oven, Electrolux dishwasher, and Electrolux side by side refrigerator. All appliances are now less than 3 years old and have had major problems. The oven was finally replaced by the extended warranty company after having all of the major components replaced (some more than once). I was literally without an oven for months at a time. It was a runaway temperature issue and was unsafe to use.
When I contacted Electrolux they offered 50% toward a new oven ( what a joke!). Then the dishwasher quit draining. We had the part replaced that operates that and were recommended to also replace the pump (was making noise and would go out soon). This one we didn't have the extended warranty on and it was a $300 repair.
Next (currently) the refrigerator failed. Error code is communication error. They are replacing both control boards (again extended warranty). It has been 3 weeks and Electrolux finally shipped the parts yesterday!!! We have also had issues with the ice maker which is yet to be diagnosed since the whole unit doesn't work. Major appliances only come with a one year warranty! They know the life of their products! Do not buy Electolux!

Electrolux dishwasher -- high price -- too many problems
Posted by
WASHINGTON -- For $1,000+ this Electrolux dishwasher is VERY disappointing. After 18 months we are ready to replace it.
Pulley holding door in place is made of nylon and cable is steel wire that cuts into pulley. Door fell down when pulley failed. Replaced under warranty.
Unit does not clean dishes very well.
Seal on bottom of door keeps moving to right and falling off. Steam fron leaks is ruining surrounding cabinets.
Bought unit at Loews. Unit delivered did not have same filter system as store sample (same model #) The fine filter shown in manual and on store model was missing and apparently deleted from the product.
This is the worst dishwasher we have owned. Bosch and KitchenAid we owned in previous homes before were much better.

Sorry to hear about your Electrolux dishwasher giving you all of these problems. Not to belittle this after you spent $1000 but my Electrolux refrigerator that I paid over $3000 for is giving me major problems. Only two years old the poorly designed overly complex ice maker quit working out of warranty. Just paid $645.00 to fix it and I expect it to break again because of the poor design. Read the full post under Electrolux frig. Never again will I buy this product.

Very helpful review, including the description of a steel cable that rides against a nylon bushing, and caused it to fail in 18 months! Very poor design. Thanks for letting us know.

As both a representative and a consumer, I certainly appreciate and understand your frustration. While we expect that our products will meet and even exceed our consumer expectations, the experience that you encountered is unacceptable and not typical of the quality products that we produce day in and day out. Because we stand behind our products, services and valued consumers like you, we use interactions such as these as a way to enhance our quality and overall operations.
Would you be able to contact me directly, via email, in order to discuss your experiences and history? I would like to assist you further with a resolution but would need your model/serial number and your contact information.
I look forward to hearing from you shortly. Have a great day!

Very poor design. I have had more trouble with the Seal falling off and having to MANUALLY REPLACE IT every time I used the dishwasher. This all began on Day 1. I have now had it for over 3.5 years and will most likely replace it with another brand. One than Cleans and is more cost effective. I have had an Electrolux Vacuume Cleaner for over 30 years and it has been awesome. That was the reason I went along with Electrolux again. Please get back to the drawing board guys.... this is a costly machine that barely cleans.
bviannie on 02/18/2014:
Did a major kitchen remodel and splurged on Electrolux range top, side-by-side fridge, dishwasher and double-oven. Love everything EXCEPT the dishwasher. Have had nothing but problems with it. Door seal and spray arm have had to be replace, adhesive reapplied, etc. etc. All within 2 years of purchase. Leaks continue to occur. Unfortunately, we are now just outside of the 5yr extended warranty (which we thankfully had purchased. We've been able to get (somewhat) used to the poor cleaning performance but the leaking is ridiculous, especially for a $1200 d/w. We've only used cascade as the repairman instructed (even making sure it's "fresh"). Ran the disposal prior to running dishwasher and also making sure water is hot enough. This D/W alone has driven us from purchasing Electrolux again, even though the other appliances have been great. Looking at the water stains on the hardwood floor has taken it's toll.

Fghd2433 - tub is always wet; leaks when it feels like it too!
Posted by
GEORGIA -- Dishwasher was purchased 10-15-2011. By 12-18-2011 I'd had 6 service calls. The tub stays wet, including the silverware basket. 1st repairman was told to replace the electronic panel since it wouldn't give an error code in diagnostic mode. Dishwasher tub still wet and had to be wiped out to avoid mustiness. 2nd call was to replace the electronic panel. Still no error code. Tech called Electrolux specialist and was told, "If the dishes are clean, it's working OK." (Dishes in top center rack do not get clean due to design flaw on sprayer arm.) 3rd call an experienced tech came back with another tech. They removed the dishwasher from the cabinet and replaced the vent in the upper back part of the tub. Guess what? Moisture vents into the surrounding cabinetry. Over time that can cause mold, discoloration, and warping of my custom cabinetry! 4th call they again replaced the upper vent - less than 10 days after installing a new one. Service trips 5 and 6 were by a "second opinion company since I'd called and complained to Frigidaire. Nothing was resolved.
I sent a registered return receipt requested letter to the VP of major appliances for Electrolux North America. 10 days later I was offered a replacement -- the SAME MODEL with the same flaws. They refuse to refund my money, only replace the machine. I'm trolling sites now to see if a more expensive model has fewer flaws. Perhaps they'll let me "buy up" since it will put more money in their pockets.
The irony is that I bought another Frigidaire appliance based on the reliability and features of my Professional Series dual fuel stove, which has been wonderful!

That's frustrating that you're experiencing so many problems mmaven44789. I have a Frigidaire dishwasher that I like very much and don't hesitate to recommend. It sounds like you're really pleased with your Frigidaire range too. Normally, as you've said, they really are reliable. They even been given an award to this fact, four years running, by TraQline. Pretty impressive.
I'm curious as to why you haven't worked with, or made mention of, the retailer you purchased the unit through. Within that short of a timespan most will work with you to exchange the appliance with one that you would prefer. Baring that as an option, I'm sure you'd like a Pro series unit. Please let us know how things turn out.
Venice09 on 01/06/2012:
In the real world, retailers are not anxious to make an exchange, and I don't blame them. Why should they be responsible for the manufacturer's defective merchandise? Retailers would go out of business if they had to make good on all these shoddy appliances. It's great if they do but not something I would expect.
I'm pretty sure this OP, or anyone else having a horrible experience with Frigidaire, cares about TraQline or any other statistics. It's irrelevant.
And, by the way, this *is* a horrible experience. What a waste of time and money.
Molly76 on 01/06/2012:
I was told the dishwashers stay wet because of the energy savings. Simply put, the heating element doesn't stay on as long or as hot as in years past. The dishes dry but not the whole inside of the dishwasher, the sides and door of the dishwasher are cooler than the hot dishes.

Electrolux dishwasher that doesn't wash dishes
Posted by
AMES, IOWA -- We previously had a 15 year old, bottom of the line, Kitchen Aide, which worked well, and got dishes clean. We decided maybe we should switch to a more energy efficient washer, and chose model the salesperson recommended as "very quite, high quality" and that was really pretty. Big mistake.
It is quiet.
BUT. it does NOT clean the dishes. It never has. After washing dishes, they are coated with light layer of white greasy feeling substance, as is the washer itself. The washer smells unpleasant after the dishes are washed.
We have tried many brands of dishwasher-soap.
Two Electrolux service people came at different times; both said it dishwasher was working well One said "Well that is what dishwashers are like now. The other told us to run the hot water into the sink before starting the washer, so the dishes would be exposed to hot water.
A third service person arrived, from an independent repair store, and told us: "Oh, I am sorry you bought Electrolux, its very low quality"
Also, something I suppose we could live with, the washer will not change settings (ie slick different settings, they won't change.). Two parts have been changed by the service folks, still doesn't work.
We sure will buy no other Electrolux product. Top of the Price Line, looks nice, bottom of the quality line.

Excellent observation. It holds true with all appliances. Consumers are finally starting to realize that.
Very helpful review.

Interesting to see how many are unsatisfied with their appliances. What's most interesting these are US badged appliances not say Lucky Goldstar (LG) or Haier which you don't mistake as foreign.
I'm not sure one can generalize all appliances are bad in that Sub-Zero, Miele, Fisher & Paykel etc. are very well built though you do pay a premium for them. It would appear that appliances lean further from legacy items, and much more consumer disposable.
At Your Service on 10/22/2011:
It doesn't sound like you may be familiar with the fact the Electrolux is a European designed dishwasher. Between that and the issue that enzymes have recently been removed from the detergents within certain states, it's important that you wash the dishes in the way the manufacturer specifies, not in the way you would have washed with your old Kitchenaid design. Absolutely do not pre-rinse dishes. Grease is required to activate the detergent now. Also, you're going to notice longer drying times, typically overnight. This is because Electrolux doesn't house a calrod, which means less energy and allows the placement of plastic anywhere in the tub.
By trying these suggestions, I bet you would find a better result. Please keep us posted if it does not.
clutzycook on 10/23/2011:
could it be the detergent you're using? When I was trying to save a buck, I was buying the liquid stuff from Aldi. It left a film on my glassware and irritated Hubby to no end. Didn't do a great job cleaning the rest of the dishes either. I changed to the Finish gel tabs and I haven't had a problem since.

Hate my Electrolux dishwasher-never again!
Posted by
AUGUSTA, GEORGIA -- Is it crazy for me to think that spending $1400+ on a dishwasher that would work? I hate HATE this dishwasher and since I have sunk $1400+ into it, I cannot justify buying another one. I have called them, had service people come out...same old same old every time. It is always my fault.
You HAVE to use Cascade...OK, switched to Cascade...same deal...having to rewash at least 1/2 of my dishes and silverware every time I run it! Then, you are not letting the water get hot enough and run long enough before you start it. OK, have the hot water recirc pump put on the kitchen sink...super hot water really fast...still having to rewash, then it was, you are not loading it right. I am only using about 1/2 of the capacity...nothing is touching in there. It is the worst and I hate it.
We live in a town with a water shortage and I cannot justify running water down the drain until it is hot enough to run the d/w. Shouldn't the d/w have a heater in it? I will NEVER buy another Electrolux product EVER! Don't do it! Lame customer service also.

You might look into an instant on or tankless hot water heater... that hooks up to your sink or dishwasher. As the name implies instant hot water.
Venice09 on 01/27/2011:
Why should she have to, Mrs. Cole? If I spent that much money on a dishwasher, I wouldn't expect to have to change my hot water heater to get the dishwasher to work properly.
The problem with appliances is that you never know how they're going to work until you get them home and use them. Even doing research sometimes isn't enough. Consumers used to have confidence in the major brands, but that confidence has been betrayed. As it stands now, there is just no way of knowing the level of quality and performance of appliances because none of the brands take pride in their products anymore.
Mrs.Cole on 01/27/2011:
Venice09, If they are stuck with the dishwasher... then that might be a solution to their problem. That's all I meant.
Venice09 on 01/27/2011:
I understand what you're saying, Mrs.Cole, but I think it's the responsibility of Electrolux to find the solution. They shouldn't be let off the hook at the customer's expense. It sounds like the OP has done everything suggested to get the dishwasher to work properly, to no avail. Instead of investing more money, I would keep after Electrolux until they made it right. Why should the OP be stuck with something that doesn't work?
ok4now on 01/27/2011:
Well put Venice, it's not the OP's fault. This problem clearly falls back on Electrolux. We both have written reviews about the poor quality of appliances being sold today. Here's another example of that. An expensive appliance that fails to deliver. It's the consumers fault because they failed to use Cascade, the water wasn't hot enough, not enough dishes to operate properly. Pleezze..$1400 and they make excuses?? Just rip the customer off and offer lame excuses for the problem. Shame on you Electrolux!!
Colokid on 03/05/2011:
We are very disappointed with our panel ready Electrolux DW. It looks great, the only problem is that it doesn't wash dishes! We rinse our dishes with water and a brush before they go into the DW, and they still come out dirty. We had a service guy come out and followed his suggestions. Our water temperature is over 120, and we have a hot water recirculating system. Our pressure is good. We have varied the amount of Cascade. We have varied the amount of rinse aid. We have added vinegar to the water. We have used the sanitize cycle, the longest and hotest one. We have put in the dishes loosely, so that we wash twice as often than we did ith our old DW. Nothing works.
For spending over $1000, you would think that the unit could at least rinse all the soap our of the dispenser, take off lip marks from glasses, and remove coffee from a cup.
We are trying another service company, with a better reputation, but they can't get here for another 12 days. In the meantime, we will resort to hand washing.
What a waste of time and money.
ok4now on 03/06/2011:
It seems that there are many complaints with Electrolux appliances. I have been lucky with their cabinet depth French Door Refrigerator. No problems. When I needed a new dishwasher I went with Bosch. Consumer Reports rated them number one. Paid $1000 and so far no complaints. Like most of the newer dishwashers it takes about an hour to run the full cycle. They are advertised as "energy efficient" and use less water. Sometimes if I have only a few dishes it easier to wash them by hand and I'm done in 5 minutes.
sallyjoe on 03/18/2011:
Electrolux microwave ,bad have had 4, dish washer been fixed three times,fridge broke its been a year, none have worked completely in this time. Don't buy it's just so bad. Electrolux will fix but when you pay 8,000 for new that's what you want! but they in no way care!.
Maryann on 12/16/2013:
We too purchased the panel-ready dishwasher from Electrolux. All the problems mentioned by others here exist on ours!!! Of course Electrolux tells us to call the repairman. I can't tell you how many times the repairman was here for this "hi-end" dishwasher. Our top rack arm doesn't spin unless you have the rack positioned just so. I have to remember to open the door after its started to be sure the arm has moved to a different location. I have to use the more expensive tabs because some soap is still in the cup. I always use the sanitize cycle to be sure the dishes are clean, or as close to clean as possible. Don't anyone buy an Electrolux dish washer, as you will be totally disappointed, Electrolux won't help you, and it will cost you in repairs. I should have kept my 22 yr old Insinkerator that was still working when I replaced it for what I thought would have been an energy-efficient model with a larger capacity. OK, so I got a bit larger capacity, but it can't be energy-efficient if I have to sanitize every load just to get the dishes close to clean!!!

5 of 5 Electrolux Appliances Faulty
Posted by
Terrible appliance experience.
French Door Refrigerator with Icemaker:
Recurring problems with ice maker. Went from Control board A to B then to C. Replaced entire assembly once and the Ice mold and various interals several times. Added a de-icing kit. Put in spacers. 1 year later it still doesn't make ice. It will work for a few days after it is serviced but that is it.
Double Wall Oven:
Display failed requiring a new control board. Then tried the self-cleaning cycle. Apparently on Canadian models there is a temperature controlled circuit breaker that trips below the self cleaning temperature. The result is every oven will fail after a self cleaning cycle (according to the repairman). The oven had to be removed each time and the switches reset. They tried replacing them but it didn't' help. After about 8 months of this Electrolux finally installed spacers to keep the switches from tripping. Also the internal lights continue to fail regularly and now the convection fan is making noise on the top oven.
Where to start... We have two of the panel ready models. One arrived with a door that wouldn't open as it was hitting a piece of plastic underneath. Once that was repaired it wouldn't fill. Replaced control board twice, main board, fill solenoid, eventually the float was found to be defective. Now both are supposedly functionaly except that neither actually washes dishes. They won't even wash the soap out of the dispenser. We have to use liquid soap, at least it isn't still there at the end of the cycle. They have both been repaired many, many times with no improvement. As of December 2010 they have agreed to refund our money for both machines.
Warming Drawer:
This is our best product. When it came they had "forgotten" to weld the right side of the drawer to the slide. Obviously this didn't' work so well. A new drawer insert was ordered but parts were missing and they had to try again. Finally the parts were put in but the left slide had apparently bent from from the right side failing so they had to replace that. In under 3 months they had it working great we were so pleased (sarcasm).
I honestly believe that Electrolux designed and built these products without ever trying to use a single one. There is no other explanation.
