Do you have the manual for your washer? I would try looking up the issue first to see if you can resolve it. I've had issues with appliances, and a quick reference to the manual usually solves the problem.

I feel you. Our dryer broke yesterday! I had a wet load in the dryer and another in the washer. Ended up hang drying everything. I looked on CL and used gas dryers were going for $200. No knowing when it'll go kaput on us. We've been together 15 years and have only had used and hand me down washer and dryers! We hit the bullet and bought a set today. Lowes has a really good sale and if you have a lowes card they are offering 18m 0% financing.

@macintosh: the last time our washer broke the part needed was $150. My DH would've been able to fix it with the part so if you don't know someone then you also have to consider labor on top of it. And if you can't diagnose the problem, paying for someone to come out!

We're going to sell our old washer and hopefully scrap the dryer and use the proceeds towards paying off the new set.

In the past we've bought a used set off friends and have been given hand me downs by family as well. Do you know anyone that recently bought a new set but kept the old one?
