I bought a Hitachi Shizuka Gozen 28 years ago and have been using it ever since, but recently the water supply won't stop and the spin cycle won't work properly, so I thought maybe it's finally reached the end of its life...and then I took the water supply apart and found a lot of rust, so I cleaned it and put it back, and was amazed at how easily it was fixed.
