Yesterday a different repairman came to install those parts, but said the actual problem was the transmission. The washer is very old and it would cost almost $1000 to replace that part, so hubby went out to buy a new washer yesterday. Installation date is next Thursday, and hubby has become a regular at the local laundromat.<br />I hope things calm down for you soon, both at work and at home, and that you find some time for quilting.Julie in GAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11677941320847327067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348317753715681760.post-80448364698486655202017-06-17T08:51:07.012-05:002017-06-17T08:51:07.012-05:00Oh my...the washer situation really is a bummer.

My dishwasher went on the fritz; a friend's fridge was down for the count and she had to get a new one only to discover the hot water heater had a slow leak and will need to be replaced. But all said and done, good job on figuring out the half fans. Just Breathe!Nell's Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09632575357791420459noreply@blogger.com
