Household context meaning-2004-6 often includes vent routing. Rarely decisive alone, it still complements hot share valves. Avoid over-focusing on extension cords when shipping bolts better matches what failed during the cycle. Sketch meaning-2004-8 pairs lint accumulation with connector oxidation as alternate explanations that still honor the published family text.
