Hey Eddy! Yes, it was one of the fuse holders in the electrical box (on the wall behind the basket). I think one of the fuses had blown, so all the power was going thru only one, which did not blow, and overheated too many times, warping and melting the fuse holder. A quick trip to Graingers for a replacement 15A fuse holder, and it was good. (Now the dryer side is starting to do the same, even with new fuses. Who woulda thunk a fuse holder would go bad?) Now I have to reconfig the laundry room for the W1928/T15?? set I got recently... The cat is Benita, the house punk. |

Peter, I don't think I've seen that model of Miele. Does it have a porthole? I just got a W1930 which is identical to your 1918 only without the porthole. I have a splitter box very similar to yours... I better keep an eye on those fuses and holders inside. What's the highest temp setting on your 1918? My 1930 goes to 95 celcius which is just over 200.

The W1926 is the large capacity version of the W1918. The spin speed only goes to 1200 rpm with only 3 speed selections (1200, 900, 600)plus "without final spin". On the W1918, the extra hot temps are 150, 160 and 170. On the W1926, the extra hot temps are 155 (70), 180 (80) and 190 (90) (these f/c translations are from the owner's manual. On the W1926, the dark gray "rapid wash" indicator includes all cycles/temps except Woolens and the ala carte selections. On the W1918, "rapid wash" includes Woolens, but not the extra hot Cotton options. Just took this in the dark. Will get a better pic when the sun is up... The dryer is T1526. |

That's interesting Peter, I've never seen that model in Canada at all. The 1st larger capacity 6 kg machines started here with the W1986. Here's a pic of my 1930. I hate the fact that there's no porthole but this was found still brand new in a liquidation place and I just couldn't say no. I'm guessing mine is a mid- 90's machine.

Is there no problem with the difference in cycle frequencies (50/60 Hz)? The connector box doesn't seem to convert that. |
