Best week I've had in a while - fixed 3 washing machines in one day
Last Tuesday I somehow hit a perfect streak. First call was a Samsung that just needed a new drain pump, took me 20 minutes. Next was a Whirlpool with a bad lid switch, easy swap. The third one was a tricky LG that kept erroring out, turned out to be a clogged pressure hose. Three jobs before noon and every single one worked on first test. Have you ever had a day where everything just clicks like that?

@sean_barnes24 that Frigidaire timer story is wild lol. I had something similar but with Maytag bravos last year. Three different houses all had the same stupid drain hose clog from dryer sheets. I got to the third one and just started laughing when I saw the same error code pop up. By that point I had the fix down to like 10 minutes flat. Sometimes the universe just wants you to crush it in one day.

The Samsung drain pump job reminds me of a time I had three Frigidaires in a row that all needed the same timer assembly. I had a box of them in my truck from a parts run the week before. Sometimes the stars just align and you clear out a whole week's worth of calls in a single morning.

I get what you're saying but I gotta push back a little on that "stars aligning" idea. Those days where everything lines up perfect are RARE in my experience. More often than not when I get three of the same call in a row it's because some factory screwup happened and a whole batch of units has the same junk part. I've been burned too many times thinking I was lucky only to find out the hard way that the replacement parts were also bad from the same bad batch. So yeah maybe you lucked out that time but in my book stocking up on parts from a single run is asking for trouble later. That timer assembly might come back to bite you if the whole lot was defective.
