My Miele W1070 needs a new hot water intake valve as the current on is dying a slow death.
Sadly part is NLA from MieleUSA and they won't give any other details on the thing for one to find ways to work around. Know Miele did not make these water intake valves but sourced from another party. Pity for me is that my washer takes 110v/120v 60hz solenoids, while all over world Miele's other offerings use 220v/240v 50hz/60hz. So some tinkering seems to be in order. Does anyone with a Miele w765, W1070, or W1065 happen to know the actual part number on hot water intake solenoid? Or maybe is willing to open up their washer and take a peek? Know for 220v/240 the valve number is 1881621, but cannot find anything on 120v and that number would help me find proper spare. If it's just the valve that is dying or dead can (IIRC) pop it out and swap in a new one. This is important for one main reason, keeping current plastic fitting with 3/4 hose fitting with 10.5 or 14 bore and 3x 12l per minute flow. Can find plenty of 120v/60hz hot/cold water intake valves on fleaPay and elsewhere but American sourced parts don't list bore size nor flow rate. Also they are made for North American washing machine hoses instead of British Standard Pipe Thread (BSP). While a small bother it would mean possibly having to swap out standard Miele hoses for American ones, and am trying to limit how much this repair puts me out of pocket. |

If it helps, you can try from Brazil. They have generic valves there and both in 120V or 240V 60Hz. If your valve is very generic, you can try the Brastemp Mondial Push Button replacement valve. It had both hot and cold inlets and SEPARATE. Basically two very simple solenoids. Email me a picture of the valve, I'll try to find one for you. |

Reading through archives it seems according to most members virtually any solenoid of proper configuation will work in Miele washer long as voltage and frequency match. LG, Whirlpool, FP, Asko, Supco and others all make 120v/60hz single washing machine intake valves (that is the one I need, not triple, my bad).
Looks like 3/4 BSP is pretty standard for washing machine hose connections so may be good there as well. |

Yes, that is the maddening thing; most European solenoids give bore size and other information. OTOH North American products seem to give little besides voltage and frequency.
Going by this post from MisterEric who replaced the triple valve on his similar Miele w765 with something off the rack he did use new hoses. But more because the older ones in place were too kinked to be of use IIRC. www.automaticwasher.org/c... This does seem to be the most common single hot or cold water valve with 90 degree turn for front loaders of all makes sold in USA. https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Replacement... |

On your Miele, does the outlet of the valve (the barb that connects to the rubber hose inside the washer) point downwards or horizontal? The Samsung one you pictured is horizontal. |

You can see in link to thread by another member who replaced his valves as well.

No idea about the diameter but I believe it will be the same whirlpool beaten path, the difference is that the world washer here had the hot and cold together and in Brazil they were two separate valves as they also had cold fill only versions and only one version (not popular enough to justify making valves only for it) was hot/cold. |

Be leery of ordering from PartsIPS. I placed an order for several Neptune dryer items on June 2nd. Their ecomm system immediately charged my ccard but the order status was tagged as canceled and refunded. Took two days to get an answer via phone (either no answer or advisory "the individual you are calling cannot answer his phone"). They canceled the order (and did promptly refund the charge) for all the items being out-of-stock/NLA. PartsDr had all of it. |
