Is Your Washer on Auto Pilot?

Hurry!  Hurry!  Hurry!  There’s always so-o much to do and not enough time to do it in one day!  If you’re like me, you’ve not only got lunches to pack, breakfast for everyone (most of the time it’s on the run), making sure the kids are dressed and have their book bags in order, husband trying to remember where he left the keys to his car, and the dog barking – don’t forget to feed him!  And what about that pile of laundry?  You’ve got your in-laws coming over tonight and they won’t be happy to see that stack of smelly socks and who knows what else is in there.  Why not just put the laundry in the washer right now?  After all, you have a hair appointment that won’t wait and the laundry will be done by the time you’re back – right?

Wrong thing to do!  Do you realize that IF your washer makes the decision to keep filling with water as the fill switch may just suddenly break while you’re away, your entire house will be flooded with water by the time you return home?  Depending on how long you’re gone, you may have furniture and carpet floating in many, many rooms.  If your laundry room is on the second floor, you could also have a cascading waterfall down your staircase.  YIKES!!
