Since it is not fixable (& really who wants to fix it again anyway? Not us!) and we want to cut or utility bills a little bit we decided to go all out and get a brand new washer and dryer!
** I would like to stop and say how much I love my husband, he is awesome! **
We got front loading, king size Kenmore washer and dryer. They are going to be delivered on Saturday. Needless to say, I am super excited! I'm looking forward to being able to wash ALL of our towels in one load instead of two! And being able to wash our comforter at home instead of either shoving it in and hope it washes (it usually took 3-4 washes to get it clean) or taking it to the laundromat. There is also a specific feature that pretty much sold me on it... The lock feature. Now when I'm not using it I can lock the buttons so no matter what Amir puts in there (cats, toys etc) he cant actually turn it on. Hooray! No more anxiety about finding a dead cat in the dryer.. WOO!
