Works perfectly! Thanks for sharing. Edit: when buying the dishwasher new, you usually get a coupon for 6 additional cartridges. This way you can refill them once a year or so in a batch.
Thank you for the video! My tape wasn’t strong enough and now the error F600 is coming up due to clogging of the auto dos. Do you by any chance have experience this? I tried vacuum the opening but the error came back…
You can try pouring some warm water down the channel (slowly) and it should clear any powder that is clogged. There is a little door at the bottom of the channel that opens/closes as needed and this getting hung up can cause the error.
Yeah, hang on to those. I got 6 "free" when I bought my washer and still have 4 of them. They were asking $20 a pop at my local store, I am glad I figured out how to refill for pennies!
Does the refill power need to contain rinse-aid like miele says its powder contains? Or will the dishwasher simply use the liquid rinse aid in the manual reservoir ?
My model has a rinse aid container that is separate from the powder. I have not experienced any issues with cleaning or leaving water spots on my dishes and the water is fairly hard in this city.
the original powerdisk although use rinse-aid we need to refill it eventhough we use at the moment the 6 powerdisk for free pack.. and special powders hafe rinseaid too its just marketing i guess
Stupid Question: why have you drilled the Hole from the Side and not in the bottom of the Disk? A Colleague in Switzerland made it so. The problem with this Method is the Storage if you refill a few Disks at once. You need to close the other Hole carefully with Aluminum-Tape to protect the Powder from Humidity.
I chose to drill the side and not the back to aid in filling. The back would work as well, depending on the fill method. I would recommend not using aluminum tape as my experience is that it doesn't adhere or have enough flexibility to provide a good enough seal, especially when exposed to the heat in a dishwasher. I have been using T-rex tape (duct tape on steroids) without any issues with sealing or coming off. Also, keep in mind, that the factory hole is always open and exposed to the environment inside the power disk chamber.
There will be at some point I am sure. These are relatively new to the market (released around mid 2020 I believe) and very niche, so it's high-hanging fruit at the moment. There is enough clearance to add a solid cover to an existing disk. Alternatively, the disks could be 3D scanned/printed fairly easily with the correct equipment. If I ever get around to acquiring said equipment this will definitely be on my things to do!
Experiment a bit, try a different powder - try a cheap powder the next time. My results with 'cheap' powder here in Australia (Aldi Logix powder) is just as good (if not better - read: cheaper) than the Miele powder it replaced. Miele powder isn't the be all and end all of dishwasher powder, if it was it would be sold in every Supermarket as well not just on the Miele online store.
Powerdisk refilling used to be a contact sport, but, due to "safety regulations" it just doesn't have quite the excitement it used to have, unfortunately.

Noooooooooo. I’ve just bought six of these . Never occurred to me to do this. It’s doubly annoying as I’m a tight bastard . Respect
I feel your pain! Hang on to those and use as needed, refill as much as you can. That's what I did with the pack that came with my washer.
And another successful refill, this time using Aldi (Australia) Logix dishwasher powder - that's 8 cents (AUD) per wash 🙂

I've still got 6 brand new ones but have already bought everything I need to refil my own. lol

Have you experienced any issues doing this? What brand dishwasher powder are you using?
None at all. I have been using Cascade Commercial (orange box) detergent.
@@HASTE347 where are you getting it from -looks like they discontinued the fryer boil out product
@@mirek79 This seems to be the closest I could find at Amazon... www.amazon.com/Cascade-Platinum-Rinse-Packaging-Vary/dp/B07NS85T5J

I think you may be confusing Klarspüler with Rieselhilfe...

@@mcbriteRieselhilfe = Trickle Aid.
Klarspüler=Rinse Aid 😁

To save $45/cartridge I think this is a great idea. I can't beliege nobody sells a drop in replacement with an easy to open refill door.

You know if it stuffs up and you have to have a service, you could've voided your warranty!
@@drewmarshall7211 what could stuff up it's still an original power disk holder
@@drewmarshall7211 before the technician comes buy a new one and say that it stuffed up 🤭
Just get a 3D printer ;D
respect🤛
refilled washing is not as good as with the originals.. and i used good tested powder it simply is too less to clean deeper stains
Perhaps try some of the Cascade Professional powder; that is what I have been using and have had good results when compared to the Miele powder.

Nearly as exiting as watching paint dry.
