The W5740 is a mid-range W 5000 machine and a good illustration of how Miele washers of this period age: almost nothing fails suddenly. Heaters scale up, dampers soften, brushes shorten and seals harden, all gradually. That is why a single inspection visit on a machine of this age often turns up three items at once, and why addressing them together is usually cheaper than three separate call-outs.
