well, the washer broke w/ diapers inside it

humph.

At least they got rinsed I guess.

 I have sposies in the house for now and we *may* be able to manually move from cycle to cycle...we're trying that right now.

I *thnk* my mom will be OK w/ us bringing loads of dirty diapers over to her house but, ugh.

Seriously, what's with washers breaking with diapers in them?  Mine broke that way.  Bliss' broke that way.  Now yours.

That is strange... Mine does get thrown of balance more often with the diapers. Could that be it? It's definitely not heavier than when I do towels.

Huh. My washer broke a few weeks ago with diapers in it, during the last rinse cycle. My hands were numb from wringing the ice cold water out of two days worth of diapers! Any idea what's wrong? I googled my problem and was able to fix it right away. YouTube even showed me how

definately not just out of balance.

You turn it on and set it to, say 14 minutes and it fills and agitates and you go down 45 minutes later and, oh look, it says it has 14 minutes.

So you crank the knob to the next part of the cycle and it seems to do that...

But this isn't a good way to do diapers.

 

It's 6?ish years old.  I suppose I cna't complain to much...especially seeing as the dryer next to it is, erm, older than I am.

(we think it's the timer motor--we can probably fix it ourselves but it's like $140 to get the part)
