$202 for that little thing! It is like buying lingerie (for my wife, not me freaks). The smaller the piece, the more expensive! :) |

Hello, I think you can fit a common water valve and save 200 $ ! It doesn't need to be an original Miele part. Every valve will electrically fit. You might just have problems to mechanically fit the valve to the support that holds it. |

check your multimeter on a wall outlet and see what it reads.. some multimeters will give a false reading when the batteries are low.. |

I suspect the water valve, this being a North American machine running on 220 volt split phase, would be running on 110 volts single phase.
I had to replace a door relay on an W1065 a few years back, and was able to get a substitute that works just fine from Grainger. It's my understanding that the electronics on the North American models all run on 110 volts, while the heater is about the only thing that runs on 220 split phase. Don't know about the motor, though. Anyway thanks for the photos of the interior. Isn't that fully enameled interior sheet metal pretty? As is the stainless outer tub. Can't fault these machines for lack of build and material quality. |
