Fix a washing machine drainage fault with ChatGPT voice and photos instead of buying a new one
[Attach photo of model label and error light] This is my [appliance], model [number if visible]. Symptom: [what it's doing, which light is flashing]. Walk me through diagnosing it one step at a time, starting with the safest, cheapest checks. Wait for me to confirm each step or send a photo before moving on. Tell me to unplug it whenever that's needed, and stop me before anything that needs a technician (gas, mains wiring, sealed parts).
Steps
- Photograph the model label and the flashing error light, and describe the symptom out loud.
- Ask what to check first, and send photos to confirm you've found the right part.
- Follow the steps one at a time, narrating what you see, then run a test cycle.
- If the model isn't recognized, upload the PDF manual and ask again.
