I'm using: 2.5L Elma WF Pro – New Formula for the main cleaning 2.5L Elma Suprol Pro – New Formula for the first rinse Isopropanol Alcohol IPA 99.99% for the final rinse So far, all fresh fluids. I was also under the impression they shouldn’t cause rust, so I’m wondering if maybe the damage was already there and is just progressing now. Because my baskets came with the machine when I bought it pre-owned, I’m not sure if they’re original Elma or not. That’s exactly why I’m hesitant to buy a new set—I don’t want to end up with lower quality clones again if that’s what these are. -

It looks like the tube (pipe) for the hour counter hand pulled out of the hand and is still on the hour counter wheel. You can pry it off with small levers. -

Hi @mcoulton, I was looking at the manual and my own fotos to understand you problem. I wasn't sure I follow. But to be sure: when you write "Hour Hammer Counter Wheel is pinned to the Calendar Bridge", are you saying that it's stuck to the bridge? It shouldn't (it should come off easily, actually -- worst case, the pivot is bent). You'd install the wheel onto the main plate, position the hammers/locks and then put the calendar bridge. I found this video quite good, time stamp added to the assembly of the hour counting wheel: -
One of the problems with Elma baskets if you look on their website it doesn't specify what they're made from. But I was under the impression they were stainless steel and they should not have rust. One of the unfortunate problems with Elma cleaning machines are that they have been cloned and I'm not sure how well the cloned baskets are made other than their cheap. -
Hi there, which cleaning fluids are you using? I think that's the key to the answer. Normally they shouldn't rust.
