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!  .

    1. He's a smart guy when he wants to be. Sometimes too smart when he plays dumb to get out of doing things.

  4. Sucks your machine crapped out. Don't you just love engineer Hubbies?! Between the 2 of us (I don't mind getting my hands dirty) we almost never have to call in someone or buy new! I Hope you only have to spend the $20.
