Original 12-24V control valve for Miele coffee machine Miele 11018673

The control valve 11018673 is a ceramic component located near the heating element in a Miele coffee machine, and controls the transition between coffee, hot water and steam. The valve is associated with the Miele CM6 and CM7 series of domestic coffee machines, and is an original OEM part that is an exact fit for the machine.

A Miele coffee machine that stops switching between coffee and hot water, or that suddenly produces weaker steam than usual – it is not always limescale. Sometimes the cause is the ceramic control valve that wears out over time and stops switching between operating modes in a sealed manner.

Why doesn't the coffee machine switch between coffee and hot water?

In most cases, the problem stems from wear of the ceramic control valve, which loses its ability to pass tightly between the coffee, water, and steam paths. This results in internal leaks, confusion between modes, and sometimes an error message on the screen.

A genuine valve is guaranteed to fit precisely to the electrical connections and internal piping of the appliance, and withstands the high temperatures near the heating element without warping. A non-genuine valve with a lower tolerance may leak or wear out more quickly, damaging nearby electrical components.

To find the exact model and E-Nr number of your coffee machine, check the model sticker attached to the device (usually on the back or bottom of the device) - this number allows for unambiguous compatibility verification before ordering. For all original Miele spare parts, you can also find a solution for other components in the coffee machine.

A moment before ordering – safety above all! To ensure a successful repair and maintain the longevity of the device, it is mandatory to use only original parts. Non-original parts may cause damage.

Original vs. Unapproved Replacement – ​​What's the Difference?

📋 Technical specifications

✅ Compatible models

The part belongs to the ceramic control valve family used in Miele CM6 and CM7 series domestic coffee machines (including CH versions). As there are several adjacent part numbers within this valve family, it is recommended to verify exact fit by the E-Nr number on the model sticker of your coffee machine, or by using the compatibility check button at the top of the page, before placing your order.

🔧 How do you replace the control valve in a coffee machine?

⚠️ Important: Replacing the control valve requires partial disassembly of the machine housing and disconnection of electrical connections near the heating element (Thermoblock). It is recommended to call a certified technician from the official service to perform the replacement. Unprofessional installation may cause additional damage to the device, internal water leaks, or compromise electrical safety.

💡 Tip from the experts

In the experience of Daniel, our service specialist, accelerated wear of the ceramic control valve is most often associated with neglecting the coffee machine's periodic descaling program. Running a descaling program at a regular pace, according to the manufacturer's instructions, significantly reduces the risk of premature valve wear and internal leaks.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

My coffee machine only produces water and not coffee – is this related to the control valve?

Yes, this is one of the typical faults of the ceramic control valve wear. When the valve does not pass tightly between the paths, the device may “get stuck” in the water or steam mode instead of coffee. It is recommended to contact a qualified technician to diagnose and check the valve.

Can I replace the control valve myself?

Replacing the valve requires partial disassembly of the machine housing and disconnection of electrical connections near the heating element, so it is recommended that this operation be entrusted to a qualified technician. Incorrect disconnection of the connections may cause additional damage or compromise safety.

How do I make sure the valve fits my coffee machine model?

Please check the exact model number (E-Nr) on the device's model sticker and use the compatibility check button at the top of the page. This ensures a clear match before placing your order, even when it comes to adjacent part numbers from the same valve family.
