Reasons to Never Leave your Appliances Running Unsupervised Part 3 - Halt!

This situation certainly is not as serious as any of the others but it is annoying nevertheless. Sometimes appliances simply stop in the middle of doing what they are supposed to be doing.

Imagine that you have clothes in the washing machine or dishwasher; it starts the load and fills with water no problem but partway through the cycle or when you hit the drain cycle it just never does it. Your poor clothes and dishes will be sitting with a tub full of water and food and dirt! No matter what temperature you start the cycle at it will eventually return to room temperature and become a petri dish for bacteria.

This kind of situation is well... ripe, for mold to start growing and there is also a possibility that water will start leaking from any small imperfections or damage in the system.

Keep your things smelling fresh!  Don't trust that your appliances will work perfectly every time just because they normally do.  Next week we'll include important details on why, legally, you should not run your appliances when they are unsupervised.
