Everything is broken [View all]
Just like that Bob Dylan song!
The washing machine was making a fierce sound when spinning out last week. I had the appliance guy over here and of course he couldn't find a thing wrong with it.
It is a Gibson 3/4 HP Heavy-Duty washing machine.
I ran off a couple of loads and it seemed to be ok but now it is back to where it was. It actually managed to physically move in the tiny laundry room it is in earlier today.
It is now braced on either side with blocks of wood so it cannot move but wow, what a racket when it spins out and it shakes something fierce unless you but the weight of your body against it to stop it!
Should I call this appliance guy *again* or forget it? The machine is 17 years old ...
Please advise if you have a clue.
Thanks very much for any help/ideas at all.
P.S.
The diffuser lens broke on the light in bathroom and I cannot find another acrylic lens to replace it with that is the right size so it looks like the entire fixture needs to be replace, or does it?
It measures 48" X 6" X 2". Can't find one in this size anywhere and no model # to be found. Pffttttt !!!!! 
At my freakin wits end & oh yeah, they want almost 4K to paint the exterior of this tiny little house I live in! ACK.
