My washer dilemma

You may remember, if you perchance have read my posts this year, in February I had a dryer fiasco. Our old almond dryer died and we bought a used white dryer, got it home and couldn't get it to go. We took it back only to discover I had failed to push the start button! So we hauled it back home where it has worked wonderfully well ever since.

Well, now I have a washer dilemma. In our remodeling efforts of late, we moved the laundry room wall out a couple feet and the washer got hooked up in the new plumbing and worked fine. Then on Saturday it stopped working, with a tub full of rinse water. So tonight we bought a used matching set of white washer and dryer from someone moving out of the area. We thought we would replace both appliances, planning to find a new home for the faithful dryer, which will probably work 'forever'. We picked up the new-old white set tonight and unloaded them in the living room.

Then Dennis and I bailed out the water from the old almond washer in the laundry room with pitchers and buckets. After Dennis got the last of the water out with the drain hose from the back of the washer, we both thought we should check it again since he noticed that the hose had been kinked when he started. Sure enough, the old almond washer works just fine, and will probably work 'forever' just like the dryer! It had stopped because the kink in the drain hose wouldn't let the water out!!

So now we have two washers that work and two dryers that work! One is a matching set in white, which is the color of all my other appliances in the adjoining kitchen. But the other washer and dryer, in almond and white, are well known and very faithful. Such a dilemma!
