OM…*frakin*…**shms**…arghhh!
I put in a load of laundry, and it worked great. Until the end of the load. And then I got the “LD” code again. And I did my MacGyvering trick to try to get the water out of the pump*. I then started another load, and it filled the soap bin with water**, and then it paused, and then it drained all the soapy water out of the washer instead of filling the bin with water. Then it sat for a few minutes and gave the “LD” error code. If I keep trying, it will eventually go through the wash cycle without putting water in the wash bin.
In other words, they didn’t fix a single thing, and I still have a washer that might do one load a day if I’m lucky. They said they can fit us in on Wednesday***.
My husband, being the wonderful person that he is, took a ton of laundry and Ada and went to a laundromat. James and I are going to stay here and do a few more chores–including baking my husband the oatmeal raisin cookies he asked if I had planned on making again.
*The water isn’t getting stuck inside the bin with the clothes. It is getting stuck inside the washing machine with the pump. However, this is a brand new pump, and it makes me wonder if something is wrong with the circuit board that controls the pump and tells the washing machine that it needs to drain.
**The water doesn’t fill up inside the bin, it flows through a container that holds the soap and the soapy water then goes into the bin. Unless the machine is broken. Then it just drains all the soapy water out and does nothing.
***We talked about just going out and bringing home a new washing machine. However, this one is still under warranty, so it isn’t costing us to fix it. It is just taking too much time to fix it. And I’ve read so many bad things online about this particular washer, including the fact that there was a class action lawsuit against Whirlpool on account of its craptacularness. I wish we had known it before we bought it.
