I'm becoming Ms. Fixit...

Last day of my vacation and I decided I better do laundry. I'd been putting it off for the last week...so today was the day.  Washer and dryer were hooked up...by me...the day I moved.  I turned the washer on went downstairs and started lunch.  Went back upstairs and something told me to check to see if the machine was leaking.  Good thing I did.  The cold water fill hose was leaking.   I thought maybe I hadn't tightened it properly and proceeded to do so.  Turned the machine back on and the leak was still there.   Great...my brother is 2 hrs away and I don't have a handy man here... never needed one.   Went to Lowe's to get replacement hoses and started looking at new washers and dryers...omg can you say pretty,  lol because that's what's important right?   I ended up talking to the but who helped us pick out my fridge and he suggested I try and replace the houses first...to save money.   Good idea...came back home and replaced the hose and no leak...yes!  So happy that I don't have to take on any addt'l debt to replace anything just yet.  I've had my washer  and dryer since 2002 and have been through 7 moves. ..I'll be using them until they fall apart.  :)

    I'm glad you caught the leak early and that you were able to fix the washer without having to replace it. The new washers are pretty indeed... and a little strange. I'm still surprised every time I open the new washer or dryer and they play music! And when the dishwasher cycle is complete it plays music too... Even after running it a few times I still look around confused for a second or two. lol

      Lol at you being confused. I opened a Maytag washer and there was this cute little noise...I was like awww :). What I found interesting is that the newer washers don't have an agitator. It was just weird...these new fangled applainces *sounding so much like my grandma*.

      So glad you didn't incur any major leaks! Whew..good thing you listened to your heart!

      btw- We purchased our washer and dryer in 2004 that has a steamer above the dryer which has been in storage for years. We plan to pull it out this weekend. Prayerfully it works. lol Otherwise, we will be purchasing musical appliances just like M's. lol

      Yeah, the new washer doesn't have an agitator... and the drum is HUGE! I'm thinking that'll be awesome for washing blankets and comforters.
