Thanks

look at craigslist.org, search through yahoo groups to see if your local city has any for sale groups. Also go to www.freecycle.org and sign up for local freecycle groups. Freecycle is a free decluttering email group. You give stuff to others you no longer need, and others give things away THEY no longer need. I see washing machines posted in my group a few times a year.

Look in your local yellow pages for used appliance dealers. Good luck.

I feel your pain. Mine died on me yesterday. I was on the phone for hours arguing with them about the warranty. The motor went out in it and it is covered but they wanted me to pay someone to come out and fix it when dh can do it himself. I finally got my way and they are sending me a new motor. I don't give up too easily.

 

My best advice also would be to check with your local freecycle group. I see them posted all of the time in my area. As long as it washes until you save up for a better one.

also craigslist.org.... if you have a home warranty it probably covers it

Lowe's has some for under $300 if you are looking for a new one. If it were me I would get the GE for $328 http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=256524-83-WLSR2000GWW&lpage=none

 

You could also check FreeCycle for one to get you by for now. I have seen several given away lately -- especially now with income tax return time. People will be buying new ones and getting rid of their old ones. Also, local appliance repair shops often have them for not very much. They often have a limited warranty with them and you could call around from home to find out ahead of time what they have.

 

Good luck.

Yup! As I understand it, they take in castoffs as side projects, fix 'em up and resell. Prices will probably be in the $50-$75 range, and they can probably deliver and haul-away.

Freecycle usually has one a day in our area.

Yup, I had to hand wring out jeans on Monday because my washing machine took a crap in the middle of a load. Ds16 said I would make a good Amish mom. lol

craigslist, freecycle, used appliance stores, scratch & dents from your local stores?

 

I'd suggest sharing with a neighbor... but I have feint recollection you are not on great terms with the neighbor (or I am making up a story in my head - either way)

[kselzer]

I would also suggest craigslist or freecycle.

 

Is it truly broke? Type in your problem and type of washer in google and see what you get. I thought mine was broke, but it was just a switch that needed fixing. $30 for a part fixed it :)

[mmm40]

Thanks everybody! I'm looking into all these things. Except the washboard. Those days are over.

 

Yeah, conj, sharing with the neighbor won't work at all.
