Perhaps you will come across a great deal on something to replace your moody appliances. That usually happens when you make do and have the luxury to pounce on a good deal when you find it. I found my washer and dryer, 2 years old, for $25 a piece from a neighbor's garage sale. They are wonderful. And my sister might send me the microwave that she bought for her daughter to take for college but doesn't need now. It is amazing what people will give you when they know you need something.Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-5099594567134611712007-09-04T10:10:00.000-07:002007-09-04T10:10:00.000-07:00I have a similar problem.Within the last 2 months ...I have a similar problem.Within the last 2 months my washing machine has began to flow over onto the floor and floods my laundry room. I have been trying to work with the machine being that it doesn't not do this most times. Only whenever something happens that causes me to leave the laundry room before the washer finishes filling. And by the time I remember that I was supposed to go back and check on it, the floor is flooded with water. Two televisions stopped working, my microwave went dark and the coil that heats up to warm my electric oven heated so hot last tuesday that the coil cracked in half. Either my appliances hate me or God is really testing me to see if I am serious about being debt free. I now bake only using my broiler. I have learned to remain focused and watch the machine until it fills and shuts off. And the microwave...who needs a microwave. I heat everything under the broiler. I have gained so much more patience and I am glad that I have found alternatives to spending money on brand new high priced appliances.
