High spin speeds are what makes a Novotronic like the W1913 efficient and what eventually wears its bearings, and the two cannot be separated. The realistic maintenance strategy on these machines is to keep the suspension healthy, because tired dampers multiply the load the bearings see on every spin. Households that have replaced dampers once during the machine’s life usually get considerably more years out of the bearings.
