Miele starts selling refurbished electronic parts
According to a UN report, 62 million tonnes of electrical and electronic waste (including old washing machines, PCs, and mobile phones) were produced in 2022 โ an increase of 82 % compared with 2010. In most cases, the electronic modules end up dumped along with the appliance, not only resulting in the loss of valuable resources but also damaging the environment. Miele is tackling this problem head on by taking back and refurbishing an increasing number of damaged and broken components. Customers in five EU countries can now choose to have a refurbished electronic module fitted when their appliance requires repairs.
On average, only 22 % of all electrical waste produced is recycled. Most of the components that are not recycled end up on landfill sites or are burned. โWeโre fighting back against electrical waste and giving used electronic components a new lease of life,โ says Axel Kruse, SVP Customer Service at Miele.
If the electronic modules in a washing machine, a dishwasher or a coffee machine require replacing, Miele service technicians are now able to offer customers the choice of a new or a reconditioned spare part when they attend to make the necessary repairs. Despite costing around a third less than the equivalent new parts, reconditioned parts are still tested to the same strict quality criteria. Refurbished electronic modules can also be used when carrying out repairs covered by warranties and contractual agreements โ including when these services are provided by Miele service partners.

Miele welcome right to repair
Miele has stated they are welcome the EU Parliament’s decision on the right to repair, which will give even more impetus to the issue of repairability. In most cases, repairing their durable appliances not only helps Miele customers save money on a new purchase, but also contributes to environmental and climate protection by reducing electronic waste and conserving resources.
At Miele, we test our domestic appliances for a service life of up to 20 years. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Miele appliances may become defective, but as repairs are generally less expensive and more sustainable than replacement, Miele maintain an extensive service network with qualified technicians. Miele also stock around 72,000 different spare parts and keep working parts in stock for at least 15 years after a product has been discontinued.Mieles approach is therefore inherently geared towards longevity and sustainability. Miele are not resting on their laurels, however, but are working to make service and repair solutions even better.
Miele hope that the EU directive will be implemented as uniformly as possible in all EU member states in order to minimise the implementation effort for market players
