Could you actually buy those parts? Miele started locking down their parts to just registered Miele repair centres a few years ago, making a mockery of the right-to-repair movement (and slipping a big middle finger to business which repair a variety of brands, not exclusively Miele).


I had to call a repair guy, but first I needed to check with Miele's call center if a part was available. Replacement of the refrigerator door gaskets cost me roughly an equivalent of $400.
