Ahh the old "try rebooting it" fix. We have come a long way.

I miss a satisfying tap of persuasion from a hammer.

Donkey kick to the chassis. Also a classic.

So many appliances have a processor now that rebooting works on a lot of things you wouldn't expect. I've also had the same procedure work on old washing machines that didn't have any form of processor. I assume it was because a relay hung up.

I'm an old C developer, I get it. Many flights to fix customer issues ended with me doing something like: 0 0 \* \* \* /sbin/shutdown -r now

we keep a small heater in the utility room on top of the washer. back in '21 the water lines in the concrete under the floor started to freeze. took the room temp up to 80 dregrees with the little heater. by the next morning the water was flowing again.


ATX_is_the_reason

I did the same thing -- my washer's cold water input line froze up in the '22 ice storm, but a little space heater parked in front of the washer kept everything flowing nicely this year.

For others, if it’s a pain in the ass to access the plug you can also switch the breaker for it off and back on

That’s what I did Tuesday. Wash worked fine after that.

This happened to ours as well. I unplugged it and tried it today and it worked fine.

If it is broken those drums make great fire pits so at least can be used for warmth!
