I've been trying to leave my current toxic workplace for three months and have had zero luck. My toxic workplace considers using a mobile phone during work hours gross misconduct and for privacy reasons I'm not comfortable putting my work number on applications. Given that people tend to assume you have access to a phone 24/7 any recommendations for how to present this on job applications.

I'm trying to diagnose error code f2 (motor jammed or tacho off) on a 5 year old Hotpoint IWC71452 ECO UK C washing machine. When started it hums faintly then stops and flashes an f2 error. I took the back off to check the connections on the motor and all the connections seem good but there was black residue all over the back panel, drum, and around the motor. Is this is just carbon from badly worn brushes or has the motor burned out? Photo of black residue
