Of course!

10 minutes after DH left, our washer died.

Good news: it's the spare washer in the addition

Bad news: it was full of clothes and water that won't drain

Good news: I found the Shop Vac

Bad news: I have no idea how to use it

Off to google the user manual!

Yikes! I hope you get the washer drained and the shop vac working.

After yelling at DH on the phone (I later apologized), I found all the appropriate parts, but no user manual (not even online). AFter a call to my dad and a couple of youtube videos, I got the rest of the water out.

The washer motor is probably shot, so I had to drain it the old fashioned way, sadly. Thank goodness it's the spare.

Fingers crossed for a drama-free rest of the week while H is away!

Oh man that sucks. I would have had no idea what to do. H would probably come home to a few hundred dollars worth of charges I made to avoid laundry.
