My front loader washing machine has been leaking on the floor for years.
I have been waiting for the 30 year old machine to thrash itself to bits.
Now the leak has stopped and the machine is going very well.

My 25 year old dishwasher was also leaking, and the dial was stopping
after a few minutes. Now it's working perfectly.

Do computerised appliances fix themselves like this?

Yes, but the best of them just execute the owner.

Leaks can often seal themselves with crud and/or hard water scale.

Not like this, but Enterprise class computer systems have
been self-healing for decades, using designed-in redundancy.

No but in the case of the washing machine, I had one like this, it was a
Service. It apparently was prone to that leak due to the door hinges being a
bit weak and bendy. One day i walked into the open door. Ouch my shin, but
it never leaked again till it eventually died due to magic smoke emission.

Come come, we don't all own a Biko.
On the dishwasher, like the mechanical devices on older washing machines,
they do manage to jam sometimes due to debris built up on the gears etc.
Often a good thump moves the debris and it works again.
I don't have a dishwasher, I am the dishwasher.

Yes, they use nano technology. The nanos take a while to wake up, but
when the computor spots a developing fault, once it has manage to wake
up the nanos, off they go, scrrabbling down the wiring to fix the
faults.

This is of course completely different to the Clive Sinclair Wafer Scale

Mad, its worse than clothes washing in some
ways because you need to do it roughly daily.

That's not self healing, that's fault tolerance.

A bit like using your other hand when one gets tired. You run out of
hands in the end.
