[Lindengardens] Washing Machine Next to Door Will Be Fixed Next Week

Tue Jun 22 22:40:24 EDT 2010

Charlie, thanks for the experiment and feedback. But I have to ask: are we just going to live with the unreliability of this machine until we can replace it? 

I am going to be renting my unit soon, and I would really prefer that Mr. Silva take the time and spend what he needs to fix both machines, since he has stuck us with them until 2011, rather than have to explain to my renter "to get that machine near the wall working, stand on your head, do the hokie pokey five times, and insert your money, and it may then start". He is getting the majority of the money we spend on our laundry, and I feel he has given us a very unsatisfactory level of maintenance over the years after sticking the condominium association with this contract going back six or seven years that says we have to use his machines until 2011. 

Giving him the benefit of the doubt, if we make him understand that this machine sometimes says "WAIT" with no explanation of what's wrong or how to mend it, maybe he'll do what's necessary to fix it. Could we please do that and avoid the potential for putting an extra couple of bucks in his pocket because his machines aren't reliable? 

Respectfully, 
Chris

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.

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. 

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. 

Thanks - 
Chris

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. Aaron
