Reason #412 Why We Haven’t Reproduced:
The Snook and I have been laboring under the delusion that our washing machine was broken all week. We called the nice folks at Direct Appliance Service to come take a look at it. The guy fiddled with the knob and know it works perfectly. There wasn’t anything wrong with it; we probably just overloaded it. Thankfully, the nice man didn’t even charge us the call-out fee. (Hence my public recommendation.) Now you may laugh at us.
Later: No, wait! It really is broken. The damn thing stopped working again.

Did you fiddle with the knob (again)? (that’s like IT help desk equivalent advise to “just shut down and restart again, and call us if it still isn’t working…”)!!
We think that the load of towels we’re trying to wash is just too much for the old girl. It seems to be overheating and then it needs to rest for a while. I’m going to try it again tonight with a smaller load and see if that helps.
(Note to those who would accuse me of washer-abuse: We’ve done loads that size before, honestly! The sucker’s just getting worn out.)

Maybe it’s because you just did two identical loads.

Ha! I didn’t even realize I left a double comment, so yours REALLY didn’t make sense. I’ll leave it up. 🙂
our ‘new’ machine can’t handle a full or heavy load. it throws a big tanty everytime it’s more than 1/2 full.
it’s such a water waster. we’re going to have to get a new one, i can’t stand it!!
It’s well and truly buggered. We’re going to have to get this guy out again and make sure he watches it for ten minutes. It stops as soon as it gets to the agitation part (which, you know, is sorta the whole point of washing clothes).
T.O.A., I thing you’re retarded.
HAR!
(sorry, I couldn’t resist.)
You’re welcome! (I am a bit)
