What next?

The other night I was washing clothes and smelled something burning.  My kids asked me what I was burning, I was in the kitchen and no I don’t usually burn dinner so I couldn’t figure out where the smell was coming from.  That is until  opened the laundry room door.

Well when we opened the laundry room door to find it filled with smoke.  Apparently when the washer spun, it didn’t spin because something got stuck with what ever it is that makes it spin.  I let it cool off and turned it back on to the last spin and it worked.  It sounded a bit funny but it still did what it was supposed to do.  The problem is it keeps making that funny noise when it’s washing or spinning now. 

I hate the thought of having to buy a new washing machine.  I’ll go to Lowe’s Home Improvement Center when I do.  I always find the best prices there.
