  I have never seen that exact issue, but almost all electric washers I have used end up having a problem with the washers own GFCI breaker on the end of the cable (small box near the plug end that has a reset switch on it). I would use your multi meter and check to see if you are still getting a full 110 from the cable, before the motor, after it turns off on your first use. Those plugs can stop power without tripping the exterior switch on them, then randomly work again. The solution is to cut that off the power cord at the GFCI and wire in a new one or just a plug. If you use just a plug, you will have to make sure it is only plugged into an exterior, working GFCI for safety. They add those for extra safety, as not everyone has a protected outside circuit. Exterior gfcis can also fail and still pass power but not work correctly and trip off. Those small, cheap plug in testers have a button on them that allows you to test any GFCI by tripping it and then you reset manually to confirm function.

  Naw, you just beam it back to earth as a laser. That way you could highjack the signal and fill a house with popcorn kernals a to start a huge neighborhood block party.

  So, NYT, do the Swiss all have micro hands? How do you explain Swiss watchmaking? For that matter, how about American watchmaking? America used to make all kinds of tiny wristwatches, including movements. There is also a few current American watchmakers, with a few building intricate movements.

  No, no, you don’t understand. It is far cleaner to dig huge holes in mountains, destabilizing the ground and washing the excess sludge into people’s drinking water. Then, build a giant plant that belches radioactive debris and helps heat up the climate. Oh ya, also kill the people that produce it early, especially if you can use children.
