The internet handyman

Washer stopped working in spin cycle. Had to draw out water using a foam cup, and then mop dry the rest. Called the company's customer service. She asked to unplug cord, switch off circuit breaker for a minute and then try again. Did not work. This month has been so full of stupid expenses that I nearly broke down. After I was done wringing all clothes, mopping the last drops of water from the washer, asked good old google for help. Yahoo answers rock!! Someone 6 years ago had replied that there is a lid switch. Bend down and see if its working. Haha.. problem source identified. Thank you Yahoo answers :)


Remember one of my 1st electronics practicals 7 years ago.. we used a and gate chip etc etc to create a compound gate. The question was what do you think is more reliable..the breadboard circuit or an integrated circuit. The irreverent answer not to be answered in the lab report was : discrete circuit because if any wire fails at least I can replace the wire myself :P

Ooh 7 years ago! I already feel old!!!! :( :(
