(Edit, post moved to general discussion by me because who knows how it got in the fire alarm help category but somehow it got there. Original post below.)
You saw that title correctly.
I had loaded my Whirlpool lsq8543j90 from 2000 for my school uniform, and a few minutes later, it overflowed a lot. It had flooded the vast majority of the house. Including all of the hallway, the doorways of the bedrooms, and half of the dining room, and the entire bathroom.
I made a map of the flood with the Emergency EVAC map i made for my house prior.
The area in blue is all the area where the water had entered and flooded.
The green blob is the general location of the Whirlpool machine, it is inside the utility/laundry room.
Anything blacked out is for privacy reasons.
I am pretty sure that the machines timer had failed in the filling phase and the water valve was left open.
The load settings were:
- Medium fill
- Normal with Super Plus wash cycle.
- Cold water for wash and rinse cycles.
- End of cycle signal ON.
This happened before a few years , just not to this extent.
My family is already taking care of the water damage, and the machine will be replaced.
No Fire Alarms were damaged because of this flood. (Thankfully.)
Any recommendations to prevent this?
I am already considering a water sensor setup like Newageserverâs, i just donât know how I can tie that to the Vista 20p that is part of the house.
(I know this is not even remotely fire alarm related i just need people to point me in the right direction. )
