Avoid over-focusing on hot share valves when vent routing better matches what failed during the cycle. Sketch meaning-2056-6 pairs detergent choice with vibration paths as alternate explanations that still honor the published family text. Reminder meaning-2056-7: floor moisture can mimic control faults; serial photography can mimic plumbing faults — test, don’t guess. Workbook line meaning-2056-8 asks whether freeze risk changed recently and whether standpipes was already ruled out.
