Thanks Paulo. Maybe one of these days something will pop up. What is your name over on Gardenweb? Foraloysius, I don't speak french. I'll take a look at the sight and see if I can translate it. Thanks for the link. |

I just checked out the website in french. I translated it and it is the last one they have in stock. They don't ship to my address. I have emailed them to ask if they would ship to the US for me. I'll keep this thread posted. |

Has long stopped importing parts for the W700, W1000, and W1900 series washing machines. Matching dryers may be another story as parts may have been used for several models including those produced in later series.
As such whatever stock MieleUSA had at that time was it; no further ordering from Germany which is the normal procedure when a part is out of stock. By this date pickings can be rather slim for the above mentioned washer models. Know this because have a W1070 and each time have needed parts the list grows shorter and shorter. This being said certain parts like shock absorbers, suspension springs/mounting brackets, etc..., things that are generic to many Miele washers may still be in stock. OTOH parts specific to a model range such as motors, shipping braces, power cords, drawers/dispensers, and so forth are likely to be the most difficult to find. Actually have one of those liquid detergent inserts for my W1070 (will work on 1900 series washers IIRC), that got NIB ages ago for a few dollars. Rarely use the thing as historically haven't used liquid detergents. Now when one does use a dosing cap that came with various detergents from Germany or France. However will not consider selling because the thing is NLA from Miele. You have a few options. If you can locate a part in Europe, reach out to a member who lives on that side of pond and is willing to purchase on your behalf and ship. You can also try Miele Canada or Mexico, but they are contractually bound *NOT* to sell/ship things to the USA or vice versa. So again you'd have to find someone local willing to purchase and send the part. Finally check with Miele authorized repair servicemen and dealers (parts and appliances) in the USA. Miele many purchased parts from MieleUSA to have in their inventory for sales or service purposes. Miele does not normally take such parts back from dealers (or entire appliances either IIRC), so they have things sitting about. |

Parts from various places on the other side of the Pond. Germany is probably the only country where sellers are reluctant, and one assumes that has much to do with shipping costs and or other local issues. Even then often was able to get what was wanted.
European appliance parts dealers are no different than those in USA; they just want to sell stuff on at their price, thus it makes little difference to most where the thing is going. That is if they have to go to the post office to ship something to Germany from France is isn't much effort to change that destination to USA. When it comes to stock for older laundry appliances, again spares dealers on both sides of pond want the same thing; to get the stuff gone. As numbers of old appliances dwindle so does the need to keep inventory of spares. Thus most relish any chance to move stuff on at a profit. Most European postal systems have the equal of USPS Priority Mail international. Thus rates are set by a max weight per certain package dimension and to several various zones. That Miele detergent drawer insert isn't very large so it shouldn't cost more than 20 Euros if that. Paypal is widely accepted by many European spares dealers, and encourage you to use that option if available. |

My part is on the way. Shipping was a bit over $20 iirc. PayPal was the payment format. Really happy. Hope I still am when I get the part, lol. |

I hope it works out well for you. I ordered one of those for my w1986 when it first went into service after the Asko's timer started acting up. I used it a couple of times and was less than impressed. The force of the water coming in was such that it splashed into the fabric softener area and caused the siphon to begin and dispense during the wash cycle. I have since removed the cover from the softener area to see if it still does it but haven't actually done the experiment. I switched to pods or powders so I don't have to worry about it. I'll try to do an experiment in the next few days to see if removing the softener lid stopped the issue. |
