Age of machine
What's the serial number of the machine? Perhaps I can find out it's age.

Don't Know Serial Number Off Hand
IIRC MieleUSA told us awhile ago that even with the serial number exact age of this machine cannot be determined from that information alone. Something about how records were kept early on for Miele units sold in the USA. Last one heard the number can give a general range but nothing percise.
Quite honestly one asked maybe once or twice about the age of the unit but never really bothered afterwards. In the grand scale of things it really doesn't matter for either Miele USA's or our purposes. Far as the former is concerned the series has ended their part/product support life so that is that.
What MieleUSA did use these early serial numbers for it seems was more about internal record keeping of repairs and other things done to the unit. I mean they couldn't even say when the unit was sold, information routinely kept track of for modern Miele appliances.

Mele USA might not have the information, but Miele Germany probably has. They have been very helpful in the past with dating older Miele appliances.
While Interesting To Know
Acutal age of an appliance normally does not befront me. What one cares about first is how long the thing has been in use or used.
The Miele 1918 and matching dryer that was installed but never used which sold on CL for pennies would be far more of value to me than a similar unit that had been in use all these years.

Does anyone know what those black "mounting brackets"
I looked inside my W1918 and it appears that the black rings are for the shipping struts to pass through.

Yes, They Are! *LOL*
Must have posted in another thread but found out about the shipping mounts.
What is very odd through par for the course these days not a soul one spoke with at MieleUSA had a clue. They could give the part number but otherwise stared at the "suds container" part breakdown and wonder.
When our repairman was working on our machine showed him the thing and asked about fitting a new one. His reply was not worth the bother and expense unless one was planning to shift the machine as in moving house.
