They are a good deal :P Yeah, this is a good deal. Only issue is the 208v req'd. I am not in a huge hurry to sell as they are off to the side in my garage and may eventually move out to my shed. I will get photos up one of these days.

I am looking to sell these locally in Southern Ontario. Will separate or sell together. PW6065 Washer: - Had a heating element fail and requires a new element and some new crimp-on connectors. - Worn plastic face plate. - 208v single or three phase - Asking $250 obo. G7859 Dishwasher: - Was...

Bearings Busy with a young family and haven't been around much lately. See the url below for a description of what is involved in repairing the main bearing. Backstorey: I picked up the machine as a 'spare parts' machine for $50 as I needed a new door seal and always wanted a delay timer in...

I don't usually bother posting these but if there is anyone in Ontario, looking for a Miele W/D pair, here's one for you. Model #s are PW 5065 AND DRYER T 8013 C. Seller wants $200 for the pair...

Fron what I've read, the Little Giant machines are built for many different electrical configurations (which is why you need to be darn careful when buying used!). For the PW6065, the US marine site lists: 2AC 208-240V 60Hz, 3AC 230V 60Hz, 2N AC 400V 50Hz conv. 2AC 230V 50Hz 16A, Washing...

step-down I think you will need to step down to 208-230v. In Canada, these are factory-set to single-phase, 220/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. The wiring diagrams show the inputs for 3 phase but I'm not sure if it is a quick conversion.

Can anyone ID this Miele washer? http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-home-appliances-washers-dryers-Washing-Maching-W0QQAdIdZ376357809

Little Giants I have a Canadian Little Giant (PW6065) and it's wired for 240v single phase not 208v. According to my source, it is optionally available in 3phase but it isn't too common.

Does anyone have a Miele PW6065 repair manual and/or the exploded parts listing document?

Given the drums are stainless, I think you should be able to get them clean and odour free without dissassembling them. I think the biggest thing is to get the detergent box and main drain hose apart and clean them separately. My W1903 was bought used and had a similar smell issue. I removed and...

Here's my thread on the bearings in a W1919 which is smaller and older than your W1986, but the process would be similar. You'll need a puller to get the cast rear weight off and it will probably bring the bearing with it. The front weights aren't too difficult to remove but you'll need to...

Whether the machine is repairable will depend on the availabiltiy of parts, their cost and the time/labour it takes to do the job. You can check out my Miele bearing thread if you are at all interested in seeing what is involved in dissassembly. There are plenty of other threads here and great...

Finally, this gives a cross-section of the seal above showing the internal metal. The overall shape of this seal is best seen in the overview photo (bottom left) but note that I needed to use aircraft shears to cut it and then bend it prior to separating the inner washing drum from the outer...

The shaft seal that I needed to cut away to get a better grip on the inner bearing. This one does have metal in it. You can see the two lips of the seal but there is also a ridge at the edge that doesn't photograph very well.

The inside of the large shaft seal which actually sits on the cast cradle. No metal in this one.
