Vent: Spent half a day on a washer because the error code led me astray.

The code hinted at the door lock, but the real issue was a simple clog in the drain line.

Ever notice how tech makes us overthink the easy stuff? Could've saved you hours if the error just said "check the drain" lol. Classic case of the manual pointing at the alarm when the problem's a spilled drink.

Why do error messages always assume the most complex failure first? I mean it's like they're programmed to panic. Maybe it's just me but we've all spent an hour restarting something that just needed a cable pushed in all the way. The tech world gets so caught up in its own layers it forgets to tell you to check if the thing is even plugged in.

My friend Mark's router died from spilled coffee, not the firmware update tech support insisted on.
