Getting my clothes washer fixed today
I hope they actually FIX it. Last time I needed service like this it took three visits for them to get it working again.

Meantime we're down to the last towels - oh God save us from this unholy lack of washing facilities!

1. Good Luck!
I hate taking my clothes out to a Laundromat.
I'm glad I haven't needed to do that for the past 10 years.

4. Well, I imagine it's all the change stuck inside
Coins slipped inside the barrel thing. I knew it was just a matter of time.

I'll pay for wash and fold before I sit in the laundrymat again! x(

2. My dryer quit working last year. It took forever to dry clothes! Then...
I found out what the problem was. The person who'd always cleaned the lint filter left about five years ago...

9. Hmmmmmm
I know of two DUers buying new 'Warshing machines' this week. I am one of them. Replacing is more cost effective than patching up I think. Service man had repair costs up to US$150 without even pausing for a breath.

180

10. yep - the fee in $103 just for the "service call"
and when I called to find out what time they were coming they said, "Between 9 and 1."

Well, thanks for narrowing that down for me guys!

11. My washer drew its last painful breath yesterday
SChreeeeeeeeeee it went <sigh>

Now I gotta take the cresit card that I have been nursing back to life and buy a new one

Last year my sweet Son in law rigged it up so that t would work a little bit longer , so I can not complain

even a Maytag will finally bite the dust
