OK it seems to be okay now. I put the lid down, but that didn't do
anything. Then while he lid was still down, I unplugged the machine and
plugged it back in. The computer made some noises for about 10 seconds,
then said THANK YOU. It's ready for a new load now and says INSERT
$2.00.<br>

<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">So
tonight, the washing machine next to the wall is just reading "WAIT" on
the display and is not doing anything. I came down to the laundry room
and found it like that; it's empty and the lid is open, but I'm not
willing to risk having it eat another $2.<br>
<br>
Can we get that machine looked at tomorrow also? I'm afraid while some
of the time it is true that it just takes a while to start, we are
having bad luck with it in that it sometimes eats our credit, tells us
to wait, and then never starts.<br>

Thanks -<br>

Subject: [Lindengardens] Washing Machine Next to Door Will Be Fixed
Next Week<br>
<br>
Dan Silva stopped by the building to look at the laundry machine. The
washing machine closest to the door is filling and draining correctly,
but the water is not "agitating" properly. He will send a repair person
on Wednesday to fix the washing machine closest to the door. I told him
to wait until Wednesday since we have plumbing work being done on
Tuesday in our boiler room that will require us to shut off the water
pressure.
The washing machine closest to the wall still works correctly. It just
takes several minutes to start. Dan may try to replace the card reader
in that machine, but he doesn't know if that will make it start any
faster.
