This was my washer and dryer. We got them when we moved into this house about 3 years ago.We picked black ones because they looked cool and real nice in our red room. I loved them. Well, One day, after all our dry wall was hung downstairs and the mud and tape was all done, the washer started to leak. The mud and tape guy actually came up and told me. I went downstairs and saw a huge waterfall of water coming through the nice drywall. I went crazy! I called Ty and he came home and started to look for where the leak was coming from. He thought maybe the pipes behind the washer were leaking so he tore a big hole in that wall but it wasn't there. He went downstairs and tore all the new drywall (well, I guess it was "wetwall" now! ha ha ha!) down. We finally figured it was coming from the washer not draining correctly and flooding the pedestal it was on. Then that would leak into the floorboards and get to the basement. We called the repair guy and he thought he fixed it. We added a drain to the laundry room and caulked real well all around it so that is we have a leak in the future, it wouldn't leak through the floor. But, it kept leaking some how. The repair man came back and he couldn't figure it out. So we had to get a new washer.
And this is what it looks like now...
It's not a cute now. No company makes black anymore so we had to go with white. Also in the future it's easier to get a white that matches the washer. I was real sad to see the black one go. We were upset too because washer should last more then 3 years for the amount of $$ you pay for them. We called Maytag and they offered us a 15% rebate on one of their machines. Argh. It's funny because most people are excited to get new appliances. Not in this case! I mean, freak, my parents washer lasted like 15+ years!!! They don't make 'em like they used to, I guess!
