I really should have bought that new steam iron I need months ago. As I posted the other night, I didn't want to spend the money. Well, now I have to buy a new washer and dryer and I still don't have a new iron. My DH says if I need the iron, too I am going to have to get one. He's wonderful that way.
We went to the oncologist this morning and got great news - no chemo - now for my DH. We decided to go to Universal Studios Theme Park in Orlando to celebrate since we haven't gone anywhere since last Thanksgiving. We were going to leave early tomorrow morning. We would have been there by noon and then spent the day at the park and returned home the next morning. So I started doing laundry. Just a few things. My washer decided that it would be better to dump the water onto the laundry room floor rather than down the drain. Needless to say I wasn't impressed. I have been babying that thing for a few months now so I wouldn't have to buy a new one. Sound familiar? It has been messing up by not draining and spinning out the water. This is the first time it actually leaked. Well, there went our trip. Instead of having a fun trip tomorrow, we will be at Sears to buy new appliances. :cry: Oh, then we will stop off at WalMart on the way home to get that steam iron. I just bought a lot of new fabric at JoAnn and will need to wash and iron it.

Before buying a new washer, check the drain hose. There maybe something stuck in the hose. Be sure to check the drain, also. Try using drain cleaner ex: Drano.
This was my problem. Could save you some money. Another idea, check with a local appliance dealer before using large retailer. Many times you can get a better price plus good service if needed later.
