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.
