Perhaps it's rise of persons using low quality laundry detergents along with failure to run frequent hot or boil washes that is causing so much issues with rear bearings. Then there was famous (or infamous) issues created by using aluminum spiders.

This was the debate MieleUSA would have with us regarding repairs to our W1070. Basically corporate response to our frequent (but not so much for machine of it's age) service calls was ".. the machine is old and obsolete, once we start repairing one thing who can say if something else won't...

A member had bearing issue with his new Miele 48XX washer. Miele sent a tech from several states away to diagnose issue and reported machine would require transporting back to Miele's shops in NJ for the work, then shipped back. Since machine was still under warranty this would all be covered...

It's amazing how many of these early Bendix washers remain out in the wild. Early bolt down models often were in damp basements which contributed to poor condition after decades of sitting. OTOH later models with suspensions were often located elsewhere in better environments...

Calgon (Cal-GONe - get it?) was invented by Hagen corporation as water treatment chemical for use with steam boilers. Rest as they say is history. https://historicpittsburgh.org/islandora/object/pitt:US-QQS-mss693/viewer Phosphates are such excellent builders or additives for laundry and...

Wow! Those parts lots didn't go cheap.

It's all relative one supposes, but IMHO drum cuFt is probably more accurate measure of capacity than weight. That is 35lbs of terry cloth items will look a lot different than same number of percale sheets and pillow slips. For h-axis washers it's all about lifting and dropping laundry. Things...

There's a Miele "little giant" washer in your neck of woods going for comparatively little money...

My sentiments exactly. While the B990 brought some new bits to the table, fundamentally Miele rotary irons for domestic use are what they are...

No worries... These sort of auctions IMHO work out well for those local enough to fetch won lots personally, and are willing to accept not everything will be sold on. That and perhaps willing to hold onto things for long periods of time to give longest open window for a possible sale. Oneself...

Powder seems to be mostly sodium sulfate and zeolites: https://www.rbeuroinfo.com/s/brands/products/product-details?language=en_GB&brand=13&country=UK&sku=27253-4193 Sodium Sulfate Zeolite Acrylic Copolymer Aqua Alcohol, ethoxylate 1 Bentonite Carboxylated Copolymer Parfum There are few...

With just one day remaining before auction closes the GE FF washer is red headed step-child of group. More bidding interest in the more modern GE washer and matching Filter-Flow vintage electric dryer.

Strongly suspect this auction will go same as others from same area (there was a similar hardware/appliance parts auction from WI not long ago posted here in group), where local concerns will buy things up then sell them on. Tons of NOS Maytag, SQ and other parts from said previous auction...

Water softening is only part of reason for using "break" chemicals or cycle. Yes, you can "break" hard water by adding chemicals, this is why laundry break products contain water conditioners. However, primary purpose (as have provided with links above) is to "break" heavy soils and fouling...

All those toy vacuum cleaners, washing machines and other appliances were meant to acquaint little girls with their future lot in life. Laundry "break" may refer to separate cycle and or chemicals added to first "suds" of wash formula. Either way at least one cold, cool or warm water flush...
