Broken Washer? Sigh

Yesterday I woke up and our washer wouldn't drain or spin. I fiddled with it for about 5 minutes and finally got it to work again.

Did another load of laundry and then had to spend 10 minutes getting it to advance to the rinse/spin cycle. Did a third load, spent 20 minutes trying to get it to advance, and gave up.

I did some research last night and think it's something with the timer connections. Tonight we picked up a washer from a nice lady from Freecycle, hooked it up, and discovered that it leaks. Sigh. Keith put some special tape on the tubes on the back and it still leaks. He's going to look at it again tomorrow.

In the meantime we have a towel soaking up the excess water under the washer. But hey, I'm slowly digging into "Mt. Clothesmore", so that's good, right?! :)
