Washing Machine

Our washing machine has not been working properly for a few weeks. I called National Home Center, where it was purchased and the technician came to fix it today.

So far he has identified the problem. There was a plastic filter prior to the drain pump filled up by Arnold's socks, hairpins he brought from school, rockets from his transformer, etc. The socks smelled quite moldy already. These things were stuck there, causing the drain pump not able to pump water out, resulting in failure of spinning.

Right now, Brandon, the technician, is trying to put everything back in place. He said this was a main problem of the front load washers. Although front load saves water in comparison to top load washing machines, you may run into such technical problems.

The way to avoid this is to put all the little stuff into a wash bag and put it into the washer as a whole. I need to stop by Walmart today to get it before we can do laundry again. In other words, this would never have happened if had not had babies. So a tip for all our friends who have babies: use wash bag for baby stuff.
