Granny's gone and done it again

case of good news bad news today.
The commercial washer/extractor was NOT working I had Mike call my laundry people in Mt and talk to them a new motor for the extractor was going to be about 4k BUT the man over there suggested Mike check a couple other things first like the winding's and such. Everything was good so Mike started tracing the power output. turned out one of the "phases coming in" was dead so we had 120 power BUT not the 240 which is what the extractor needed. Called MDU (utility co) they had a man over in about an hour. Turns out a tree branch had "rubbed" the power feed coming in and "worn away" part of the metal wire ( power supply.) So the 7 hours total Mike spent working on it was a total waste. Other then he did to a little maintenance on it.
 
Be glad it got fixed and you didnt need a new one!

ditto I actually checked on the cost of a new machine like the one I have now thinking maybe to go that route and get a whole new one for about 10k and save this old one for parts. At least then I could have financed it.
