Traits of the VanLaanen family

Our washing machine broke two days ago, and to make things worse, Hannah had her clothes soaking in the machine. The washing machine was not filling up with water, nor would it spin. Today, after hours and hours searching on Google, and decoding the Fisher and Paykel error "flashing" lights, she thinks it may be a problem with the balance switch. It seems that the out-of-balance switch is permanently activated!

With that thought in mind, we got to work!... We opened up the front panel, disconnected the "computer" and found the balance switch... We realized that it was corroded. Hannah took a q-tip and cleaned off the corrosion. Put everything back in place, turn on the machine (keeping our fingers crossed) and voila!... Our Fisher and Paykel washing machine comes alive!

Definitely a great trait of the VanLaanen family!
