Last month my LAX-EWR was delayed 45 mins due to maintenance.. Reason why... Sink in bathroom in F wouldnt shut off. Had to wait for plumber.

So thought it would be interesting to see what the actual reason was your last flight was delayed due to maintenance.

I'd say a problem that the airline feels justifies delaying a flight counts as "serious".

Still, it will be interesting to see what problems counted as "serious enough."
