leaky (washing machine) transmission

We get our appliances from 3rd generation used appliance dealer. He's actually a friend from high school so I usually get a good deal on our appliances. If you can find a used appliance dealer in your area get an older analog set that has been reconditioned and be good to go for another 20 years...
any big money appliances I've ever had I completely regretted putting them in my house...
