So the washing machine is broken. You whip out your trusty swiss army knife adamant that this is your time to prove to the world that you are capable and able to support yourself.  Long story short is that good news, the machine wasn't broken, you just needed to plug it in. Bad news is that it is now most definitely broken (its a set of wires, not a vine covered door Indiana! next time lose the blade). Never to let life get you down you decide you will fix the situation and no, buying a new machine doesn't work (that is just admitting defeat).
