Pixy's Houshold Hints
Don't leave an Australian two dollar coin in your pocket when washing your clothes in... Whichever model fancy Samsung combination washer/dryer it is that I have.

Because it's exactly the right size to lodge in the drain and block it completely.
And if the thing can't drain, it won't do anything at all.* Which means no washer. And also no dryer. Combination washer-dryers are wonderful things until they break, and then you lose two critical appliances at once.**
So now I have a working washer, a working dryer, and two dollars.*** A good day all round.
Update: Well, I have a washing machine and $20 anyway. Found some $5 notes in a pocket when I was carefully checking my first load in my restored washing machine, which was good. Then it singularly failed to dry the load of washing, which was not so good. Still an improvement.
* Because (a) the first thing it does on any wash cycle is drain any leftover water, and (b) the dryer has a condenser unit, and won't start unless it can run cold water through the condenser.
** It's been raining here in Sydney for about a month. I can hand-wash my clothes when I have to, since it's just me, but hand-drying is not so easy.
*** Actually, $5. There was another $2 and a $1 in the emergency water release thingy.
