In unit washer/dryer unit, though since move in this unit has been having issues, particularly the dryer end and apparently even issues starting to the point other people in the apartment called maintenance about it. This last Sunday I was using the washing unit as usual when upon completing the wash cycle the washer was completely flooded. I hadn’t done anything different than usual and had ran the washer on regular wash settings. I did what I thought was the responsible thing to do and (cont)

Sounds like it was just two malfunctioning units that fried possibly due to wear and tear, I wouldn’t say you’re at fault for that.

Told the other two people currently in the apartment about the issues. It was then I was immediately accused of purposefully running the washer on soak.

I don’t know if I’m just overreacting but this entire situation has felt extremely alienating and it feels like I’m now walking on eggshells with my roomates to not upset me and having to single handedly

Fix the entire unit. With them constantly questioning me about the unit and maitences status. I’m not sure what to do and this is honestly stressing me out more than it should.
