Hello hope everyone is well
Got a call from the wash that 4000 was spraying water it was in the home position no lights were on and no car.
I watch the video a car went through
Went past the dryers in the machine kicked on but no lights turn on.
Only thing I can think of maybe the guy bought two washers on accident and maybe while he was waiting for the dryer started up but I feel as if he pulled out it should have shut off because the sensors wouldn't have noticed the car but as I said I didn't even seen any lights or stop and go lights on. I actually had to flip the breaker.
Thanks for any thoughts for suggestions
