Washing machine repair - ASAP

Hahahha!

Besides, the wife was in the kitchen making me a sammich.

Have washer and dryer connections put in the kitchen? Sammiches while she is sudsing your dirty drawers = win

I would try freeing the agitator by manually rotating it back and forth to see if it will break free. Check around the bottom of the agitator to make sure nothing is wedged in there.

Tried that before posting. I will take another stab at it when I get off work.

I recently had to repair my GE washing machine, the transmission went out. You might try googling what it's doing plus the make/model of the washer, that's how I found out exactly what's wrong with mine. The machines are so simple it's crazy. After I got the parts it took me less than an hour to fix it.

Apparently the tub seized up causing the motor to spin and making a flat spot in the belt. While it was doing this, the nylon pulley on the motor got so hot it melted.

You can't get just a pulley, it comes on the motor. $135. The belt is $25.

So, it's going to be $160 plus labor and we haven't even figured out why the drum is locked up. So, for around $300 (assuming just minor parts), I can get it fixed.

I'm going to take it to the metal recycle place and dump it off.

Time for a new washer....

Gotta love it where it's cheaper to replace than fix...

Sounds like TeamJacob has the hook up! I'll have to keep that in mind when my washer/dryer goes (Sear Kenmores bought in 1998 and still running).

I went out of town for a week one time and the first day gone the wife called saying the washer was full of water. I told her to put the clothes in the dryer and she'd just have to wait. She was wanting a new washer and dryer anyways so when I got home we bought a new front loading washer ($1k )and then a couple months later bought the dryer to match.

the day we replaced the washer I started tinkering with it and found that it was just the belt broke. I got a new belt for next to nothing and fixed it and then sold the washer and dryer to my sister for $500
