One of my appliance repair books places leading-edge wear of the impeller as the cause of reduced washing ability in those machines. One must inspect the edge carefully - perhaps with a magnifying glass.
I am surprised that all manufacturers didn't have a sharper edge on the impeller during that time. |

Dulling of the leading edge is one of the reasons that aging Bakelite impellers affect washing performance negatively. That is also related to why Robert's Westinghouse Roll-Out with the metal impeller washed so well. |

How about an illustration or two? Here's an impeller (would this be considered sharp or blunt{looks like the leading edge is kinda blunt to me}?) and a SU-60P. |
