David, That’s what I was told and have been told by many $200 to replace them.

Nevertheless, that is over $80 for four, which still sucks as there is a flaw in the design.

That’s odd Ed, I had one shipped from Miele last week for $21.20 (inc postage) – I hope I didn’t get the really crappy ones. I have the basic four burner and knobs are below trivett line, just over 2 years old and first broken, not that happy, they should be metal.

Rob, I reckon someone should start manufacturing cheap fake ones in China. My ex wife phoned Miele and it was going to cost about $200 for all four. It’s a complete rip off – especially since it is a result of a design flaw.

It’s not good enough.

Where can you buy spare PLASTIC knobs? on line store somewhere? $ 45 is pathetic to say the least.
If they were solid metal ones

Jim, annoying.

A friend told me that “everybody knows that you only buy Miele for laundry”. Sure enough I was reading Steve Jobs biography and he researched the best washing machine and it was Miele – although after my oven and cooktop experience I’d be loathe to.

Ann, it’s shocking the cost of replacement parts and they seem to have quality problems. I’ve been around to so many houses with partly broken Miele cooktop and oven.

Our Miele cooktop, less than 10 years old, needs a new thermocoupler I think he said. $250 for the part!!!!! Now a second ring needs the same thing. $1250 to replace this part on the whole cooktop. I think not. Miele are appalling. They have it all tied up. Well, I’m voting with my feet and replacing this cooktop with a reliable brand, asap.

I have the same model and same melted knobs. Wish me luck as I begin the relacement process. I’m in Romania so it should be interesting to see what the attitude will be…
