LaundroLab North Austin — Machine Fault Dashboard

Every washer and dryer fault logged at 1646WFV from Mar 2, 2023 to Nov 10, 2026 (5,327 records), with a ranked list of machines to tackle first, drain and vacuum patterns, and a check against daily rain.

The date range (all time, a calendar year, or a rolling window) and the machine filters drive Overview through Trends. The priority table uses fixed windows; the drain section is all time; the rain section follows the date range only.

Overview

Where to start

Fixed windows: the last 30 and 90 days ending Nov 10, 2026 (the last record), whatever date range is picked above. Follows the machine type and model filters only.

First targets
Fix-first priority = 2 × (last 30 days) + (last 90 days) + any increase over the 90 days before

A higher number means fix it sooner. Faults from the last month count double, and a machine that is getting worse than the previous 90 days gets extra points. "% of faults from that error" shows how much of a machine's recent trouble is one error: a high percentage usually means a single root cause you can fix once, while a low one means a mix of problems.

Bank-wide no-vacuum wave on the DE-650S dryers12:15 No vacuum went from 26 faults in September to 147 in October and 84 in the first 10 days of November. Since August it hit D63 (48), D59 (42), D76 (36), D55 (35), D53 (26), D54 (26), D61 (25) and D65 (15), often several on the same day (Oct 8, Oct 9, Oct 25, Nov 5, Nov 8). Many dryers failing the same way at once points to shared exhaust or makeup air, such as the rooftop lint socks, more than to individual dryers.

Daily faults

Washer drain pattern

All time, every washer with an 11:3 Drain fault. Burst share is the part of its drain faults that came on days with 3 or more. Error days compares days with a drain fault 181 to 360 days ago against the last 180 days.

The export has no drain-time measurement, only fault events, so this uses drain faults as the proxy. A machine whose drain faults arrive in bursts on single days looks like a one-off blockage (a burst pillow, a sock in the pump); a machine with more and more separate days of drain faults looks like gradual buildup such as sludge.

Monthly drain and water-level faults

Drain faults sit almost entirely on the EUD-680 washers (W20 to W27), and most arrive in bursts. W22 and W23 show the most recurring trouble: more separate drain-fault days in the last six months, and W22 had 19 drain faults in the last 90 days. W26 is the one washer whose drain faults are spread out rather than bursty, and its drain-fault days rose from 1 to 4, the closest match to gradual buildup. Five days had drain faults on two washers at once, including W21 and W22 on May 24, 2026, which may point to a shared drain line.

Dryer vacuum errors and rain

Vacuum codes are 12:21, 12:15 and 12:16 on all dryers. Follows the date range filter only. Rain is the daily total in whole millimetres; under 1 mm counts as dry.

Average vacuum faults per day

Rainy days do average somewhat more vacuum faults, and heavy-rain days the most, but the day-by-day correlation is close to zero. Rain is at most one factor. Spike days are barely more likely to be wet than an ordinary day, and the biggest wave (84 faults on 13 dryers on Oct 25, 2026) came on a dry day. Logging lint-screen and lint-sock cleaning dates would let this page test that cause next.

Vacuum spike days

A spike day has at least 5 vacuum faults and more than the mean plus two standard deviations of the 90 days before it. Several dryers on one day suggests a shared cause.
