Washing Woes

Well yesterday was really fun.  As I was attempting to wash the whites the washer decided it would quit.  It made a loud humming noise and refused to drain.  Okay so I know the machine is old.  I bought it brand new on 15 January 1996.  Yes, I found the original receipt attached to the warranty and schematics.

Now my washer looks like this:

J had to tear it apart.  Well I begged him to fix it.  As it turns out it might only be  a $20 part.  He is an engineer, or was one, so hopefully he can put the machine back together and get it running again.  If not, I did price a new plain jane machine $317 for a K.en.more.

 

So I ended up rinsing and wringing out all the whites by hand yesterday.  Hey, I found that it is great exercise.  I actually managed to lose 1.2 pounds doing laundry the old-fashioned way!  .
