A clothes washer, or washer, is a machine designed to wash laundry, such as clothing, towels and sheets.
Washing Machine is the 9th album by the band Sonic Youth. It was released shortly after the group concluded their stint headlining the 1995 Lollapalooza music festival.

Day 337: I'm Handy
My washing machine flooded my apartment last Thursday.
My Dad and I researched the issue on Saturday and ordered a part.
It arrived today.
I promptly took the control panel apart and figured out how to remove the timer assembly. But then a tricky clip got in the way of the knob removal. I figured it out, though.
And now I am doing laundry and so far, so good. I'm waiting to see if I possibly need a water level switch as well.
I hope not. But if I do? I'll install it, too.
The end.
Bonus Secret: Butter Knife Repair
This bonus secret is brought to you by my washing machine which started making weird noises today and won't drain the water.
I genuinely believe that I can repair things around the house with the aid of a butter knife, which is usually the "tool" I go to first instead of my rather inadequate tool kit.
If I can just pull something apart work out how it works, then I can fix it... this is my theory. Sometimes it works... but washing machines are a little out of my league. :(
