I've recently acquired a W1966/T1576 pair for a couple of hundred bucks off Craigslist. The washer needs a new door seal and I'd like some advice on the best source for an economical aftermarket seal. My plan is to go ahead and replace the seal before I get around to reworking my garage (more water supply plus 240V for second washer and dryer) for a test run. Any info/advice would be appreciated.

For Miele washers, but you'd have to know what fits what particular model.
Personally would just go with a real Miele part as the boots do vary by machine. Also at least you have the back-up a warranty (such as it is) should something go wrong. This or find out what particular model part number fits your machine then head over to eBay. There are usually several Miele door boots on offer, though some may be from European sellers. Watched a Miele tech install a new boot on my W1070 when I got it years ago. It wasn't an easy process as one would have thought; stretching the thing to fit. Thank goodness did order a new door boot before the unit arrived as the one already installed was gross with mould and had a nice big hole in folds. |

I second Launderess' opinion. I bought a door seal online for my W1986 and I had more problems with it than it was worth. You may pay a little more for a Miele brand seal, but it will be worth it in the long run. |
