My Washing Machine

My washing machine goes clunk clunk clunk,
Clunk clunk clunk,
Clunk clunk clunk.
My washing machine goes clunk clunk clunk,
Clunk clunk clunk clunk SPLOOSH.

That's a bad sign, right?

1 I wouldn't worry too much about the clunk clunk clunk - but I's be really afraid of the sploosh!.

2 Um, yeah. I'd say that's a bad sign.

Unless you've got sneakers in there. Then it's normal.

3 I think it's toast. What seems to have happened was it was out of balance during the spin cycle, started vibrating, and then one of the castors fell off. That threw it way out of balance, and something tore loose.

It's been making unhappy noises and leaking a little for the past year, and I think this was just the final straw. It lasted 14 years, so I'm not put out. Much.

4 I think the unusual actions of your washing machine are the symptoms of a psychological crisis. Perhaps it was traumatised as a child?
Take it to see a psychiatrist for trauma counselling, give it a hug, make it know that it's loved ... and then junk it.

5 We had a similar experience in our household once. Ours went clunk, clunk, yowl, clunk, yowl. It turned out that the door had been left open and Miss Kitty crawled in amongst the clothes to take a catnap. She went unnoticed a few minutes later when the door was shut and the wash cycle started. I watched the whole episode from behind box of dryer sheets while snacking on a chunk of saltine cracker I had found.
