Some of you may have seen me make a post about my old ass washing machine having issues a little ways back here:
Well it is having issues yet again. It started to not spin properly on the spin cycle and I turned it on it's side and it looks like the belt is like melting away again. So I don't know if there is something else going on but the belt is definitely messed up a bit.
At this point I ordered another belt to hold me over for a bit, but I think at this point I am just ready to get a new washer.
The one we have is only 3.7cu feet with an agitator and just an old old machine. I am looking at at least 5.0cu ft and a top loading machine.
I don't know too much about them but my wife and I both like the looks of the black colored ones and there were 2 that I saw at Home Depot that I was interested in that have decent reviews.

I actually went to Home Depot yesterday and that LG was $200 off at $800, but the guy working there said if I can hold off for their Labor Day sale that should start next Thursday then I will probably be able to get a better deal. He said they will have sales of both washers and dryers together so we may end up going that route since our dryer is also old as hell and we would like a larger one of those if we get a larger washing machine.
Does anyone have any other ones they recommend and/or have experience with any of the above two?
What is this washing machine part called?
This is the washing machine that came with our house and I've already fixed 2 things on it. One was the pump and I've replaced the motor. And now I have another issue. The other day my wife was washing and it wouldn't spin anymore. I emptied it out and got it all out and tried to put it in...
