sigh

Well washing machine is only half working. Checked again this morning.

I’ll try just doing drip drying but I don’t know how that’s going to go with weather this cold.

Last option would be to use a laundromat. Just another burden I have to shoulder.

Damn it. Sad to hear this. My recommendation would be is to get someone out to have a look at it. Someone local and someone who doesn't charge to come out.

Thanks. I won’t be able to afford for someone to come out to take a look at the moment for the foreseeable future.

You get a free quote. They'll tell you if it's time to retire it or if it can be fixed. No obligations.

Could do. I was looking for one on marketplace as well.

Someone was giving one away but I wasn’t confident in picking it up myself or getting help to do it so I had to pass it up.

it sounds like the drum went so far out of balance it came off the "hinges"

keep looking up fixes on the internet, I'll have a look too

first thing, do a diagnosis for what's wrong

That’s what I think so too but it’s only a guess based on what had happened.

I’m too tired. I need to give it a rest. I spent all day yesterday and lost half my day and I slept only 5 hours.
