What a model name does not tell you is the point worth making about the D1716W. It tells you the machine is the Asko D1716 and that the front is white, because W is Asko’s own colour code in the SKU table of Asko Inc.’s own United States Product Guide, form 051101-0530, dated 2002. It does not tell you which build is in front of you. Asko revised machines while keeping the name, and it is the article number on the serial number plate that separates one revision of a D1716W from another.
So two D1716W units of the same colour can take different parts, and an order placed on the model name alone can be right for one and wrong for the other. No published specification for the D1716W was recovered, so nothing is quoted for it and nothing is imported from a neighbouring number. The model is long discontinued, which makes the sourcing question the first one asked rather than the last.
