*New* Miele w1918 Washer & Matching Dryer

[launderess]

Installed but never used.

*Sigh*

Was considering this set but they are too far away and one has no way to close the deal since it's cash on pick-up only. Would have made a nice step-up from the W1070 that is "unserviceable"

I know where there is a set of those

in Connecthedots but she wouldn't part with them for love nor money!

 

 

[launderess]

Gone!

Oh well, maybe a set will pop up in my neck of the woods.

love the 1918!!

We have that and the 1521 (I think) dryer.... love them... did have to do some repairs after 11 years of good service but worth it.  With a new control board from Miele USA the machine performs better than ever.

 

Fortoutitous for moi, I have a tall, handsome man in house who is rather handy at this sort of thing...

 

As Ethel Waters sang so well....

*Think* Someone snagged the lot for $600.

There is a post over on THS's laundry forum where someone asks if the set is a "good" one and so forth.

If the set was anywhere near would have probably been on it and worried about electical connections and so forth later. If the thing had been on fleaPay would have done the same.

People probably lined up on that elderly lady's doorstep this morning with appliance moving trolleys and transport at the ready.

Hope the dear got more than $600 for the set, they are worth vastly more than that.

Am Beginning To Comprehend

From this picture of a Miele 220v power cord it becomes clear to my mind.

The green wire must attach to something inside the machine cabinet, but not the same way as the other three wires (red, black, and white). Why the protective earth wire (yellow/green) is cut one does not understand.
