Miele 120V Cord For Washing Machine
Yes, one requires a special cord, which only comes from Miele USA (surprise), however they no longer import the part to North America. You can contact Miele to see if any are still in stock or lying about spare.
You will need a wiring diagram to know how to hook up a new cord converting the machine from 220v to 120v.
Miele is starting to phase out parts for the 1065/1070 units. Both machines were amoung the first offered in the United States and are nearing if not passing the 15 to 20 years Miele promises to keep parts in stock for a model. However certian parts may go on a bit longer as they are used in later models as well. Things such as the motor, timers, and so forth however are limited to whatever stock Miele USA has on it's shelves. Once these go, that will be the end of that.
Indeed it is getting harder and harder to find Miele techs willing to work on older units. Most will strongly advise a customer send the thing to the knackers yard, and purchase new. Our Miele tech certianly made strong noises in that direction when called out for our 1070, indeed told us that a customer just scrapped an old Miele washer on his recommendation and purchased new. Just as an aside, contacted the store where the new unit was purchased, and that took the old unit away, and sadly it went straight to the crushers. Apparently with space in short supply, this local appliance store does not hold carried off appliances long. Each night someone comes to haul them off.
If one has 220v service in the laundry area, simply purchase the splitter box from Miele (or search eBay, they pop up there often, and go for FAR less than what Miele USA charges), and one can run the washer and dryer off the same circuit.
