Nice job on fixing it! All through my uni days and a decade afterwards of low paying jobs my washing machines were freebies that I fixed. Dead pumps were an easy one with some time trawling metal recycling pile at the local tip usually providing a replacementLTIH1: washing machine breaks down. 12 years old and the error code says 'motor fault'.
LTIH2: I do a google check that suggests it might be motor brushes. Physical check suggests almost certainly the problem. And another Google check says brushes cost anything from $10 - $100!!!
LTIH3: everyone says it's a 12 year old washing machine...so it's probably fucked.
LTIH4: $10 eBay brushes fixed it after a hidden reset procedure that (of course) Google revealed. And now I wonder how many of these machines die for the sake of a ten buck part...
LTIH5: Replacing the brushes wasn't complicated...no more difficult than shifter cables. But it wasn't as straight forward as it could have been given that the machine guts were clearly not designed to have been easily accessed...designed obselescence should be a crime...

Scored ourselves a free dishwasher because it kept blowing thermostats. They kept it in the shed so long that by the time I went to buy a new one they only sold the self resetting kind and we got years out of it.LTIH1: washing machine breaks down. 12 years old and the error code says 'motor fault'.

I just hope she realizes that you're the ironman here? All she has to do is trundle around for a while.Getting up at 4 to drive mrs to ironman race. Fml.
I made it perfectly clear just how much sacrifice so she gets to train on the drive in.I just hope she realizes that you're the ironman here? All she has to do is trundle around for a while.

I hear you. The park across the road full of gumtrees from us just keeps giving too. Leaves and bark on the front yard is just how it is. Great for summer afternoon shade though so worth the trade off.I love the gum trees by my house and the bird life they attract ny holy hell they drop some leaves.
Maybe just burn off the leaves?I love the gum trees by my house and the bird life they attract ny holy hell they drop some leaves. Filled a full sized wheelie bin yesterday just in leaf litter. And thats including 3 session of my fat ass getting in the bin and going bouncy castle to pack them in.and the yard looks only marginally better today as they keep dropping leaves
We fill 2 metre rounds of old ringlock fencing wire here...so far we've filled two without trying very hard. Should start on the third...I love the gum trees by my house and the bird life they attract ny holy hell they drop some leaves. Filled a full sized wheelie bin yesterday just in leaf litter.

#fkntradiesLTIH: hotel toilets. Why is there such a high likelihood that the toilet seat will not stay up when one is urinating? One has to use one hand to hold the seat up, lest it receive a golden shower. Inconvenient, impractical and, ultimately, messy.
The spare toilet at my oldies place has always done that. Fancy curved top lid.LTIH: hotel toilets. Why is there such a high likelihood that the toilet seat will not stay up when one is urinating?
