Our washer is on the fritz; it started leaking mid cycle last night. It will cost us $84 to replace the part when we paid $150 for it! Gr. We bought it from a co-worker of DH's.

Anyway, I think within the next year it'll crap out so I want to start researching and keeping an eye on pricing now.

Which washer & dryer do you have? Do you like it?

Do you have a front or top loading? I've only ever had top loading and my mom has a front load and hates it.
