We've had a problem with our washing machine for the last week. It started making a really funny noise last week, and then last night it started spewing water. I was stressed to say the least. We bought a front load washer because it was suppose to be better, and we paid a fortune for it. I thought what a rip off if it only lasts two years.
Anyway, the repairmen were actually able to come today, and it turned out to have been a piece of clothing that had been sucked out of the basket and into the workings of the washer. It managed to wrap itself around a hose, pull it out, and cause the leak as well as the horrible noise.
The repairmen suggested I use a mesh bag to wash socks and other small and delicate pieces of clothing in. Bottom line, a $4 investment (and care to use it) would have saved us $140 in repairs.
Just something to keep in mind if you have a front load washing machine. :)
