Washing machine finally fixed!

[firstkid4me]

Our washing machine wouldn't do the final spin and our clothes would come out soaking wet, so we called a repair guy and they came today (luckily it was still under warranty!) 4 of the cloth wipes I've made got stuck in the pump and there's water ALL over the floor now (the repair guy tried his best to clean it up, but there was just so much.) At least we'll have some clean clothes! (Dh has said no more cloth wipes though, but I told him I'll wash the dipes in a smaller load, I had been doing about 30 dipes, if not more, at a time with cloth wipes, and the repair guy said that sometimes with big loads they suck up the small stuff like socks in the pump.)

That's good news. When ours broke, it had the same problem and we ended up getting a new one since the old was about 10 years old. We have a front loader now and I would never go back again. What a pita, especially when there is so much baby laundry.

Actually, this one is a front loader, lol. We just got it in February and thought a part had worn out or something.

Where in the machine does it suck it up? I'll be on the lookout if I experience something similar.

The guy had to take apart the bottom of the machine. I was trying to watch, but Emily kept demanding attention so I didn't get a good look at what was going on. The wipes came out all covered in lint and smelled funky so I threw them away.
