A washing machine goes unnoticed making our lives cleaner until it goes down. When your washer stops working you have to start working. That’s not what you signed up for. A Laundromat or washing board and a bathtub can work but that’s not ideal for most.
A new washing machine can cost hundreds of dollars depending on the model. The good news is if your washing machine stops working it doesn’t mean you need to break your budget on a new one.
