Question

Hello, sorry for asking again, but I asked a few days ago and still haven't received an answer. A. In the rented unit, there is an air conditioner in the bedroom, but it does not turn on with the Shabbat timer, meaning it needs to be turned on for the entire Shabbat. Is the landlord required to fix or replace the air conditioner? B. In the washing machine, all programs work properly except for one. Is the landlord required to fix the machine, or is it not considered a malfunction since the machine works on other programs? Thank you very much Yehoshua

Answer

Hello

I sent the answer yesterday, I am sending it to you again. 

A. You cannot be obligated. 

B. Only if a primary function is missing in the machine, you need to fix it. If not, you are not required.
