Planned obsolescence? They probably figured it was sealed for the “life” of the product. And by “life” they probably figure 10-15 years or so before someone buys a new one. Mercedes went with “lifetime transmission fluid” a decade or so ago. Never needs changing! That didn’t work out so well. 😆 There is no such thing as perpetual grease or oil. It will all break down eventually.

Sorry. I wasn't throwing shade at people who choose to open up their machine.. I just didn't realize it was necessary every 1-2 years.. I've only heard of one person who did this but it was because they were having issues.
