I went to one of the bigger appliance showrooms today to see if they had any stands for my W1918. I thought using Tom's idea of concrete blocks was O.K. but my partner said it was too ugly! So...they have two different sets of "older" miele stands for $99.00 for the two (great, now I have to find a matching dryer). The one set has a solid metal front and holes to fasten the machine,and 4 leveling legs. I belive it measured 23 1/4" X 21 1/4. The other set of stands are more open between the corners. They have a a flange of sorts that you seem to slip in the feet of the machine (front or rear). The bottom of these stands do not have levelling feet. They measure 23 1/4 X 19 1/4. So I've come home and measured the base of mine and it seems that the second pair are the ticket. BUT, I don't want to buy the wrong ones because there is no return. Does anybody have stands for their W1918? Any adverts with pics. Thanks! Guy |

If you call Miele or go to their website with the "T-" numbers, you should be able to cross reference the stands. Miele Germany is offline right now...but I got a "hit" for the W1918 laundry stand at the link below...bet if you give them a call, they can help you with the part number you'd need. Kinseher, a very large parts supplier here in Germany lists a UK made stand as being appropriate for this machine, so all is not lost if you can't find the exact model. Me, I'd go with Toms's solution. Have lived with Mieles off and on for decades and all of them liked a firm foundation under their feet when dancing, er, spinning. Your partner needs to give Tom credit for his brilliance and assume that the base can be properly decorated to please even the most dainty queen. These are washing machines we are talking about, ladies...not Louis XIV furniture... CLICK HERE TO GO TO panthera's LINK |
