Capacity wise the only similar Miele model from the 19XX series would be the w1926, but it has different cycles from the w1986.
Why not just contact MieleUsA parts and order from them? Yes, we know they are expensive and often a PITA (trust us, how we know), but at least you would have the proper part with a warranty. | ||

It's hard to compare the W1986 to European models, because the W1986 is based on the Little Giant series. It's a model exclusively manufactured for the North American market, a similar machine was not sold in Europe. Same applies for the W1926 and other models that are 70cm deep instead of the usual 60cm. You will not find these model numbers on European sites when you search.

I have the 1986. It is exactly like the model sold in Australia except that the temperature degrees are listed in F instead of C and some of the cycles are renamed. I downloaded the 1986 user manual from Miele AU and found it contained the programming instructions which worked on my USA machine. So perhaps look in Au for info | ||

Yes, Miele's Call Out Charges Are Quite Dear
But rather than poking around inside and guessing I'd spring for at least having them come out and diagnose the problem. From there you can decide how to proceed.
If you are in the NYC area can give you the contact information of my Miele guy. He's great and used to work for the company before starting his own business. Just drop me an email or via the inter-member communication system. About purchasing a second hand Miele: Unless the unit is still crated and or seemingly never used take any sellers word about "light" use with a grain of salt. On some units Miele techs can attach their computers to get the use hour numbers, but that will tell only part of the story. It only isn't the amount of time (hours used) that counts but how the machine treated as well. Constantly over stuffing, using too much detergent and other forms of abuse can take a toll on even a washer used very little. | ||
