You'll have to find the parts (bearings and such) from Miele, or perhaps from another supplier that will work. Replacing bearings on a Miele washer isn't easy from what one understands. You will need a winch or some other way to get those heavy tubs/cast iron cradle out and so forth.
While the washer isn't "that old", Miele may no longer stock parts, so you could have a problem finding what you need new. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Launderess's LINK |

How is your German? Have you asked on the German club?
If you need parts you can order them through Handyman I think. They can get most parts. There are online partsshops as well. And if that doesn't get you anywhere I would have a look at www.teamhack.de... Link to the German forum: CLICK HERE TO GO TO foraloysius's LINK |

Along with most other operating systems have "keyboards" in other languages, you just have to change the settings. Once done normally one hits "Ctrl" and "Shift" at the same time to switch back and forth.
Now if you do not have an actual keyboard, you can still use the "keyboard" in another language, one just needs to know where everything is, but diagrams can be downloaded easily from places such as About.com. Though one does not have a French keyboard,remember enough about them from typing classes to switch from English when required. Back on topic. IIRC, from reading posts on the German site and at the like posted, the bearings are pretty generic, however the sleeves and other parts may be Miele only. Could be wrong, but think it is best to change both bearings whilst one is at the project, but others will chime in on that. |

I already changed 1 bearing, Its the one where the stringwheel is. The bearings are generic indeed. |
