Well some 10 years or more ago my washing machine crapped out. My brother lived only a few hundred yards around the corner so I used his washer for a few weeks until I spied a machine on the curb. I knocked, inquired and was told the machine did indeed function.
I got the rascal home and found it more or less worked. The door has to be opened and reclosed for it to go into spin cycle but I've worked around that. Lately I've been noticing that I really need to run a wash cycle (actually a pre-rinse) w/ no detergent then restart the whole shooting match with detergent and complete the wash to make the final rinse water look clear.
I'm thinking it may be getting close to time for me to break down and buy a new machine. Hell, they're only a few hundred bucks and I probably spend that on the water and electricity to run the extra rinse cycle.
And hey! The weather here has returned to clothesline over electric dryer so that added to should make the new machine expense not noticeable.
The only thing left is what to do with the old washer. Body is good as is the motor. I'd hate to curb the damn thing then realize I could have used some part of it!
