Yesterday it was making the most horrible screeching sounds, so today I threw in a load of rags, and we went from horrible screeching to nails down a blackboard screeching.  By the time I noticed the smell, the tub had filled with smoke.  I opened the lid, and you&#8217;d think the washer was a car with a blown radiator.  What a mess.  The kids took the rags out, I got the water out with the shop vac.  A new washing machine is arriving Saturday, and it is not a Maytag or a Whirlpool or an Amana (all manufactured by whirlpool now.) I&#8217;m not buying American because the American products suck.  So there.  The new machine is a Bosch front-loader, which will help with the electric bill, too, because it spins more moisture out.  That&#8217;s good, because we still have a Maytag dryer, which is electric and takes forever and costs a fortune to run.  When it dies, its replacement will not be an American product, either, unless something changes dramatically and quality becomes a priority.  I&#8217;m not going to hold my breath waiting for that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yeah, the repairman said it was fine, and it worked OK for a couple of weeks.
