I have no water

A few days ago our water stopped working. Its a private well. There is a pump out a ways across the pasture. It connects to an outside shed where the water filter is and then it goes to our house. I think the problem might be at the pump. Its turned off once before. When it happened the first time, we walked out to the pump and saw where the cows had broken the plastic casing that covers the electric wires for it. We moved it around a bit, decided we had no clue how it works, and put the cover back on it. When we back inside our water was working again. Any ideas?

Is it your property or are you renting?

@TexChik we are renting. Usually you communicate with the landlord to get things fixed, right? Our landlord is an older man who has always had his daughters and others handle his properties. I always talk to the daughter, but now she has taken her dad to court. From what Ive overheard, part of it is her taking ownership of the properties. So when i texted about our water problem she replied saying she was sorry we were having trouble with our property and I would have to contact her dad about it.

@morrgin I would contact him then, and if you get the runaround then they have effectively voided the lease. You can move. If you can't move you would need to contact an attorney about applying what it would cost to fix the well against your rent.

@TexChik i got ahold of him. He was so nice. The pro came out and had it fixed in less than 10 mins

@morrgin What's wrong with it?

@TexChik its a General Electric front loading washer. I'd put my liquid detergent in it, push Start, and walk away. Later I'd come back and open the door. My laundry had not been washed. I figured I must of forgotten to start it. Id put laundry detergent in and go through the same process as before. The next time I stayed and realized it wasnt doing anything. Now the door won't open and none of the buttons do anything. Screen just says Door Lock.
